By Blake Gumprecht. (New York: Oxford University Press, 2023. Pp. x, 235. $27.95, ISBN 978-0-19-761444-0.) <p>The Great Migration was the transformative movement of more than six million African Americans out of southern states to the northern and western <strong>[End Page 652]</strong> cities of the United States. Escaping discrimination, racialized violence, and debt peonage, migrants hoped to build new lives for themselves and their families. Blake Gumprecht’s <em>North to Boston: Life Histories from the Black Great Migration in New England</em> fills an important void in the historical record by providing accounts of the migrants who left the South and settled in Boston, Massachusetts. Gumprecht argues, “Much has been written about the Great Migration and its impact on cities such as Chicago and Detroit, but almost nothing has been written about its history in Boston and New England” (p. 1).</p> <p>Gumprecht’s study focuses on the lives and experiences of ten migrants who arrived in Boston between 1943 and 1969. The author acknowledges his difficulty finding his subjects and his reliance on the assistance of the Reverend Gregory Groover, minister of the Charles Street African Methodist Episcopal Church in Roxbury, Massachusetts, in identifying the subjects whom he would later interview. In many ways, <em>North to Boston</em> is as much about the Charles Street African Methodist Episcopal Church and the community of Roxbury as it is about the individuals interviewed. Each interviewee was a member of the church, and although many had changed residences several times, they stayed committed to and maintained their membership in the Roxbury church.</p> <p>The author organizes the text into twelve chapters. The first chapter, “The Great Migration in New England,” serves as an introduction and explores Black migration to Boston. The life story of each individual is the subject of chapters 2–11. Organized by the year of the interviewee’s arrival to the city, these chapters explore the driving forces that brought these migrants north to Boston and their trials in establishing a new life for themselves and their families. Many of the narratives are stories of flight: tales of men and women escaping violence, oppression, and racism in hopes of creating new and better lives in the North. What each of the subjects shared was a hope that their individual migrations would transform their lives and those of their families.

以下是内容的简要摘录,以代替摘要:评论者: 北上波士顿:布莱克-甘普雷希特(Blake Gumprecht)著,布莱恩-米切尔(Brian Mitchell)译,《北上波士顿:新英格兰黑人大迁徙的生活史》(North to Boston:新英格兰黑人大迁徙的生活史。作者:Blake Gumprecht。(纽约:牛津大学出版社,2023 年。第 x 页,235 页。27.95美元,ISBN 978-0-19-761444-0)。大迁徙是 600 多万非裔美国人从南部各州向美国北部和西部 [第 652 页完] 城市的转变性迁移。为了逃避歧视、种族暴力和债务奴役,移民们希望为自己和家人创造新的生活。布莱克-甘普雷希特(Blake Gumprecht)的《北上波士顿》(North to Boston:新英格兰黑人大迁徙的生活史》一书填补了历史记录中的一个重要空白,介绍了离开南方到马萨诸塞州波士顿定居的移民的情况。Gumprecht 认为,"关于大移民及其对芝加哥和底特律等城市的影响已有很多论述,但关于其在波士顿和新英格兰的历史却几乎一无所知"(第 1 页)。Gumprecht 的研究侧重于 1943 年至 1969 年期间抵达波士顿的十位移民的生活和经历。作者承认自己在寻找研究对象时遇到了困难,并依靠马萨诸塞州罗克斯伯里查尔斯街非洲卫理公会教堂牧师格雷戈里-格罗弗的帮助,才确定了后来采访的对象。在许多方面,《北上波士顿》既是关于查尔斯街非洲卫理公会教堂和罗克斯伯里社区的,也是关于受访者的。每位受访者都是教堂的成员,尽管许多人曾多次更换住所,但他们始终致力于并保持着罗克斯伯里教堂的成员身份。作者将全文分为十二章。第一章 "新英格兰的大迁徙 "作为引言,探讨了黑人迁徙到波士顿的情况。每个人的生平故事是第 2-11 章的主题。这些章节按受访者抵达波士顿的年份编排,探讨了将这些移民北上波士顿的驱动力,以及他们为自己和家人建立新生活所经历的考验。许多叙述都是关于逃亡的故事:男人和女人逃离暴力、压迫和种族主义,希望在北方创造更好的新生活的故事。每个故事的主人公都希望他们各自的迁徙能够改变自己和家人的生活。甘普雷希特的所有受访者都面临着在新家为自己创造新生活的挣扎;所有受访者都面临着北方的种族歧视,但所有受访者都相信,他们向北迁移的决定改善了他们的经济状况。最后一章 "十个人的生活,他们教会我们什么,以及他们为什么重要 "对甘普雷希特的采访对象和波士顿的非裔美国人社区进行了最后的分析。虽然《北上波士顿》通过波士顿黑人的迁徙故事为读者展现了波士顿黑人的面貌,但我们不禁要问,如果作者将研究范围扩大到罗克斯伯里查尔斯街非洲卫理公会教堂的成员之外,他可能会发现什么。书中承认,在大迁徙期间,"有数以万计的黑人从美国南部迁徙到波士顿",但甘普雷希特却完全依赖于十位研究对象,他们都是由一位牧师介绍给他的,并且是同一个教堂的教徒(第 1 页)。虽然我被甘普雷希特的研究对象的叙述所打动,但我对他的研究方法表示质疑,并认为如果研究对象的范围更广一些,本书可能会受益匪浅。[布赖恩-米切尔 亚伯拉罕-林肯总统图书馆和博物馆版权所有 © 2024 美国南方历史协会 ...

By Bart Elmore. (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2023. Pp. xiv, 233. $28.00, ISBN 978-1-4696-7333-2.) <p><em>Country Capitalism: How Corporations from the American South Remade Our Economy and the Planet</em> is an exceptionally readable history centered on the emergence and extraordinary growth of five very large corporations: Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, Walmart, FedEx, and Bank of America. These companies transformed the world in a multiplicity of ways, including what we eat; how we travel; the way we make, buy, sell, move, and consume pretty much everything; and even how we treat workers and think about work. Author Bart Elmore’s focus is ultimately on exploring how these companies, all born in the South, transformed the economy and forever altered the environment on a global scale. It makes for a fascinating read, one that has the virtue of being very well researched and exceptionally well told.</p> <p>The book also makes a larger argument about the role of the U.S. South. For Elmore, it is not a coincidence that these corporate behemoths are from the same region. Rather, these companies experienced colossal success precisely because the relatively rural nature of the South led them to adapt in innovative ways. The South, particularly the challenges it posed for companies seeking to extract profit from a region with a relatively dispersed population, was an incubator of corporate innovation. This argument provides a provocative hook that drives the story and will no doubt be debated by scholars, even if at times it feels a bit underdeveloped.</p> <p>The book is divided into five parts, each corresponding to one of the corporate case studies. The first part explores the rise of Coca-Cola, focusing particularly on its innovative move toward franchising bottling plants, which allowed the company to extend its reach into rural areas and eventually the entire globe. Elmore points our attention to how this expansion transformed global ecosystems as it required more and more of everything—sugar, water, trucks, roads, refrigerators, and so on. He also explores how Coca-Cola attempted to address its ecological impact as environmental concerns arrived on the public radar.</p> <p>The history of Delta Airlines, originally nicknamed “The Airline of the South,” is particularly interesting.

以下是内容的简要摘录,以代替摘要:评论者 乡村资本主义:美国南方企业如何重塑我们的经济和地球》,作者:巴特-埃尔莫尔 斯蒂夫-斯特里弗勒 《乡村资本主义:美国南方企业如何重塑我们的经济和地球》,作者:巴特-埃尔莫尔。作者:巴特-埃尔莫尔。(教堂山:北卡罗来纳大学出版社,2023 年。第 xiv、233 页。28.00美元,ISBN 978-1-4696-7333-2)。乡村资本主义:美国南方的企业如何重塑我们的经济和地球》是一部极具可读性的历史,主要讲述了五家大型企业的崛起和非凡发展:可口可乐、达美航空、沃尔玛、联邦快递和美国银行。这些公司从多方面改变了世界,包括我们的饮食;我们的旅行方式;我们制造、购买、销售、移动和消费几乎所有东西的方式;甚至我们对待工人和思考工作的方式。作者巴特-埃尔莫尔(Bart Elmore)最终将重点放在探索这些诞生于南方的公司是如何在全球范围内改变经济并永远改变环境的。这是一本引人入胜的读物,它的优点是研究得非常深入,讲述得非常精彩。该书还就美国南方的作用提出了一个更大的论点。在埃尔莫尔看来,这些企业巨头来自同一地区并非巧合。恰恰相反,这些公司之所以取得巨大成功,正是因为南方相对农村的自然环境使它们能够以创新的方式进行调整。南方,尤其是南方对寻求从人口相对分散的地区获取利润的公司所提出的挑战,是企业创新的孵化器。这一论点提供了一个具有启发性的钩子,推动了故事的发展,毫无疑问将引起学者们的争论,尽管有时感觉有点不够深入。本书分为五个部分,每个部分对应一个企业案例研究。第一部分探讨了可口可乐公司的崛起,尤其关注了其特许经营装瓶厂的创新举措,这使得该公司将触角延伸到农村地区,最终遍布全球。埃尔莫尔指出,这种扩张如何改变了全球生态系统,因为它需要越来越多的东西--糖、水、卡车、公路、冰箱等等。他还探讨了可口可乐公司如何在环境问题成为公众关注焦点时,试图解决其对生态环境的影响。达美航空公司最初被昵称为 "南方航空公司",其历史尤其有趣。它的成功在很大程度上依赖于二战后几十年间工业和人口从中西部向南部的迁移。该公司的发展轨迹反映了美国经济的变化。达美航空的崛起之所以重要,还因为航空业是气候变化的推动力。然后,埃尔莫尔考察了所有南方企业中的怪物--沃尔玛:沃尔玛。在这里,关于南方在形成埃尔莫尔所谓的 "乡村资本主义 "中的作用的论证可能是最有力的(第 5 页)。沃尔玛最初的成功在于其存在最终威胁到的乡村地区。联邦快递也从南方的经验中汲取了教训,同时受益于并推动了 "我们的现成、一夜暴富、赊账经济"(第 7 页)。该公司对生态环境的影响引起了活动家的关注,迫使该公司调整其环保措施。[该书以美国银行作为结尾,这是一个有趣的案例研究,因为美国银行的成功依赖于农村战略,也因为我们往往不会立即将银行与污染联系在一起。然而,随着对石油和天然气的投资受到越来越严格的审查,银行发现自己处于激进分子的包围圈中,迫使他们做出调整。乡村资本主义》并不是一本揭露黑幕的书,毫无疑问,有些人会认为埃尔莫尔对待这些公司的态度过于温和。但这种不偏不倚的态度在很大程度上起了作用,因为作者向我们展示了这些公司在南方的经历如何导致它们的成功,以及它们对地球造成的巨大生态损失。史蒂夫-斯特里弗勒 马萨诸塞大学波士顿分校版权所有 © 2024 美国南方历史协会...

By Susan Crawford. Foreword by Annette Gordon-Reed. (New York: Pegasus Books, 2023. Pp. xii, 371. $28.95, ISBN 978-1-63936-357-5.) <p>“Experience the timeless charm and unrivaled hospitality only found in Charleston,” a December 26, 2022, <em>New Yorker</em> advertisement proclaims, with “a stirring sense of history.” Full-page spreads like these attract “seven million mostly white tourists” every year to the city’s “luxury hotels . . . for care-free indulgence and relaxation,” according to author Susan Crawford (pp. 6, 7). Tourism contributes $10 billion a year to the regional economy. Little wonder why leaders of the coastal city will not utter the words “sea level rise,” <strong>[End Page 604]</strong> especially if to do so implies that climate change and human activity have something to do with increased flooding. “[I]f you were planning for the Charleston region of 2050 and beyond, you would not build there and you would not want people to move there,” Crawford writes. “Tick off the dangers: storm surge, sea level rise, chronic flooding, groundwaters rising, risk to drinking water—it’s all about to get much more dangerous” (p. 258).</p> <p>Susan Crawford’s <em>Charleston: Race, Water, and the Coming Storm</em> juxtaposes the shortsighted view of civic leaders with the city’s long history of privileged development and racism. Like Annette Gordon-Reed, who has written a foreword to the book, Crawford is a professor at Harvard Law School, and the book often adopts the tone of a polemic with grim statistics and frightening forecasts. “Forty years ago, the city flooded ten times a year. The city flooded eighty-nine times in 2019, almost once every four days, sixty-eight times in 2020, and forty-six times in 2021” (pp. 10–11). Historians—always more comfortable with measured statements focused on the past—may not read this book. Perhaps they should. Crawford describes how modern development rests upon “creeks and marshes,” filled in with “trash, rubble, dirt, [and] offal” and covered with sand and dirt, work that had been done using slave labor (p. 34). “Today,” she writes, “much of Charleston is sitting on landfill. Floating on trash” (p. 35).</p> <p>The most engaging part of Crawford’s book, though, is a series of interviews with members of the African American community, including Rev. Joseph A. Darby, a Columbia, South Carolina–born pastor who led the Morris Brown African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston for fifteen years. Darby describes how, when the Arthur J. Ravenel Jr. Bridge was built between 2001 and 2005, African Americans were displaced: “‘The city,’ Darby says drily, ‘created a few college
以下是内容的简要摘录,以代替摘要:审稿人: 查尔斯顿苏珊-克劳福德-玛格丽特-林恩-布朗的《查尔斯顿:种族、水和即将到来的风暴》:种族、水和即将到来的风暴》。作者:苏珊-克劳福德。Annette Gordon-Reed 作序。(纽约:Pegasus Books, 2023。第 xii、371 页。28.95美元,ISBN 978-1-63936-357-5)。2022 年 12 月 26 日,《纽约客》的一则广告宣称,"体验查尔斯顿永恒的魅力和无与伦比的热情好客","感受历史的激荡"。根据作者苏珊-克劳福德(Susan Crawford)的说法(第 6、7 页),这样的整版广告每年吸引着 "七百万大多为白人的游客 "来到这座城市的 "豪华酒店......享受无忧无虑的放纵和放松"。旅游业每年为地区经济贡献 100 亿美元。这也就难怪为什么沿海城市的领导人不愿提及 "海平面上升",尤其是如果这样做意味着气候变化和人类活动与洪水加剧有关的话。"克劳福德写道:"如果你在为 2050 年及以后的查尔斯顿地区做规划,你就不会在那里建房子,也不会希望人们搬到那里去。克劳福德写道:"列出各种危险:风暴潮、海平面上升、长期洪水、地下水上升、饮用水风险--这一切都将变得更加危险"(第 258 页)。苏珊-克劳福德的《查尔斯顿:苏珊-克劳福德的《查尔斯顿:种族、水和即将到来的风暴》将市政领导人的短视观点与这座城市长期以来的特权发展和种族主义并列。与为该书撰写前言的安妮特-戈登-里德一样,克劳福德也是哈佛大学法学院的教授,该书经常以论战的口吻,用严峻的统计数据和可怕的预测来论证问题。"四十年前,这座城市每年洪水泛滥十次。2019 年,这座城市被淹 89 次,几乎每四天一次,2020 年被淹 68 次,2021 年被淹 46 次"(第 10-11 页)。历史学家--他们总是更乐于发表以过去为重点的有分寸的言论--可能不会读这本书。也许他们应该读一读。克劳福德描述了现代发展是如何建立在 "小溪和沼泽 "之上的,"小溪和沼泽 "被 "垃圾、瓦砾、泥土和内脏 "填满,沙土覆盖,而这些工作都是由奴隶劳动完成的(第 34 页)。"她写道,"如今,查尔斯顿的大部分地区都是垃圾填埋场。漂浮在垃圾上"(第 35 页)。克劳福德在书中最引人入胜的部分是对非裔美国人社区成员的一系列采访,其中包括约瑟夫-A-达比(Joseph A. Darby)牧师,这位出生于南卡罗来纳州哥伦比亚市的牧师曾领导查尔斯顿的莫里斯-布朗非洲卫理公会教堂长达 15 年之久。达比描述了 2001 年至 2005 年间修建小阿瑟-J-雷文尼尔大桥时,非裔美国人如何流离失所:达比沮丧地说:"'市政府'设立了一些大学奖学金来弥补这一损失'"(第 77 页)。通过对黑人领袖达比等人的深入采访,克劳福德描述了查尔斯顿所有主要地区的种族关系和发展模式。克劳福德对每篇访谈都进行了详细介绍,从而勾勒出一个完整的人物形象和他们的人生故事。例如,离开查尔斯顿前往亚特兰大的古拉-吉奇后裔奎内塔-弗雷泽(Quinetha Frasier),从对过度开发造成的住房损失的观察,到对伊曼纽尔修女会九人枪击案的反应,将她对该市年轻专业人士的种族氛围的见解融入其中。克劳福德的所有资料来源似乎都对气候变化的威胁了如指掌。不过,对于城市而言,即使在划分区域时考虑到土地标高,"如果开发商决定提出实质性反对意见,也将成为一场政治风暴"(第 281 页)。克劳福德大量使用科学文献、规划文件和访谈来论证自己的观点,而忽略了一些历史学家的优秀作品,如史蒂夫-埃斯蒂斯(Steve Estes)的《黑白查尔斯顿》(Charleston in Black and White):民权运动后南方的种族与权力》(查珀希尔,2015 年)。若想更深入地了解查尔斯顿长期以来用可疑材料填埋沼泽的历史,请参阅克里斯蒂娜-雷-巴特勒(Christina Rae Butler)的《涨潮时的低地:南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿的洪水、排水和填海史》(Columbia, S.C.,2020 年)。不过,克劳福德的作品可读性很强,声音铿锵有力,可能会引起那些需要了解信息的人的注意。[第 605 页完] 玛格丽特-林恩-布朗布赖瓦德学院版权所有 © 2024...

Pp. xii, 371. $28.95, ISBN 978-1-63936-357-5.) &lt;p&gt;“Experience the timeless charm and unrivaled hospitality only found in Charleston,” a December 26, 2022, &lt;em&gt;New Yorker&lt;/em&gt; advertisement proclaims, with “a stirring sense of history.” Full-page spreads like these attract “seven million mostly white tourists” every year to the city’s “luxury hotels . . . for care-free indulgence and relaxation,” according to author Susan Crawford (pp. 6, 7). Tourism contributes $10 billion a year to the regional economy. Little wonder why leaders of the coastal city will not utter the words “sea level rise,” &lt;strong&gt;[End Page 604]&lt;/strong&gt; especially if to do so implies that climate change and human activity have something to do with increased flooding. “[I]f you were planning for the Charleston region of 2050 and beyond, you would not build there and you would not want people to move there,” Crawford writes. “Tick off the dangers: storm surge, sea level rise, chronic flooding, groundwaters rising, risk to drinking water—it’s all about to get much more dangerous” (p. 258).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Susan Crawford’s &lt;em&gt;Charleston: Race, Water, and the Coming Storm&lt;/em&gt; juxtaposes the shortsighted view of civic leaders with the city’s long history of privileged development and racism. Like Annette Gordon-Reed, who has written a foreword to the book, Crawford is a professor at Harvard Law School, and the book often adopts the tone of a polemic with grim statistics and frightening forecasts. “Forty years ago, the city flooded ten times a year. The city flooded eighty-nine times in 2019, almost once every four days, sixty-eight times in 2020, and forty-six times in 2021” (pp. 10–11). Historians—always more comfortable with measured statements focused on the past—may not read this book. Perhaps they should. Crawford describes how modern development rests upon “creeks and marshes,” filled in with “trash, rubble, dirt, [and] offal” and covered with sand and dirt, work that had been done using slave labor (p. 34). “Today,” she writes, “much of Charleston is sitting on landfill. Floating on trash” (p. 35).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The most engaging part of Crawford’s book, though, is a series of interviews with members of the African American community, including Rev. Joseph A. Darby, a Columbia, South Carolina–born pastor who led the Morris Brown African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston for fifteen years. Darby describes how, when the Arthur J. Ravenel Jr. Bridge was built between 2001 and 2005, African Americans were displaced: “‘The city,’ Darby says drily, ‘created a few college ","PeriodicalId":45484,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF SOUTHERN HISTORY","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141720135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

以下是内容的简要摘录,以代替摘要:评论者 Emmett J. Scott: Power Broker of the Tuskegee Machine by Maceo C. Dailey Jr Sheena Harris Hayes Emmett J. Scott: Power Broker of the Tuskegee Machine.小马西奥-C-戴利著,威尔-古斯曼和小戴维-H-杰克逊编辑。非洲裔德克萨斯人。(拉伯克:德克萨斯理工大学出版社,2023 年。第 xvi、424 页。45.00 美元,书号 978-1-68283-123-6)。近年来,学者们开始关注 19 世纪和 20 世纪早期传记研究中的空白,尤其是对历史上的黑人学院和大学中的男性和女性的研究。Will Guzmán 和 David H. Jackson Jr. 编辑完成了已故的 Maceo C. Dailey Jr. 备受期待的传记《Emmett J. Scott: Power Broker of the Tuskegee Machine》的第一卷。戴利在书中揭示了艾米特-杰伊-斯科特经常被忽视的工作和领导才能,这位二十世纪早期的领袖人物直到现在一直被归入更为人熟知的布克-华盛顿的阴影之下。这本传记不仅将华盛顿作为 "塔斯基吉机器 "幕后唯一策划者的传统说法复杂化,而且通过对塔斯基吉的过去进行更仔细的解读,重建了我们原以为对二十世纪初黑人男性领导力的一切认识。戴利对斯科特的传记进行了详尽的研究,在布克-华盛顿和塔斯基吉学院的传统历史之外提供了另一种选择,拓展了我们对 "私人秘书 "斯科特和公开的 "塔斯基吉魔法师 "华盛顿之间团结关系的理解(第 3 页)。戴利认为,华盛顿 "在与塔斯基吉的反对派打交道时,依赖于斯科特的才华,并多次对他言听计从"(第 70 页)。戴利还补充说,"斯科特毫不犹豫地将他的诋毁者推上了哀悼者的长椅,这本传记只是将自己视为现代、未来一系列关于斯科特及其时代的作品中的主角,重新诠释了斯科特"(第 7 页)。前八章按时间顺序讲述了斯科特的早年生活以及华盛顿去世前他在塔斯基吉的工作。与大多数传记一样,前几章揭示了斯科特更为私密的家庭背景。我们了解到,他来自得克萨斯州的休斯敦,14 岁时进入威利学院学习,两年后因就业而离开,最终在《休斯敦邮报》就职。之后,斯科特与他人共同创办并编辑了密西西比河以西最早的黑人报纸之一《德克萨斯自由人报》。1897 年,在组织布克-T-华盛顿访问休斯顿和普拉瑞景州立大学(现普拉瑞景 A&M 大学)之后,斯科特接受了华盛顿私人秘书的职位,这段关系 [完 640 页] 持续了近 20 年。通过与华盛顿和塔斯基吉的交往,斯科特变得非常有权势,他代表华盛顿向西奥多-罗斯福、伍德罗-威尔逊、朱利叶斯-罗森沃尔德以及美国黑人坦率地谈论种族和政治问题,成为种族问题的主要发言人。这些章节的真正优势在于戴利能够将斯科特的个人文件纳入其中,而这些文件此前一直不为公众所知。这座资源金矿揭示了斯科特采用的内部方法和策略。读者可以了解到,是斯科特而不仅仅是华盛顿制定了许多策略,将华盛顿定位为非裔美国人社区的领袖,并构建了一个由黑人和白人领袖组成的网络,他们将成为华盛顿的盟友。两人之间的紧张关系也暴露无遗。其中一件事是华盛顿拒绝推荐斯科特接受威廉-霍华德-塔夫脱政府的任命,这反映了华盛顿对斯科特留在塔斯基吉的强烈影响,尽管正如戴利所说,斯科特渴望拥有 "权力、财富和声望"(第131页)。尽管这些可能只是小矛盾,但戴利揭示了两人是如何紧密合作的--他们的思想、理念和实践交织在一起--以至于在很多时候无法分辨谁的思想是谁的。最后三章详细描述了 1915 年布克-华盛顿去世后斯科特的生活。我们了解到,在华盛顿去世后,他未能获得塔斯基吉大学的校长职位......

以下是内容的简要摘录,以代替摘要: 校园堕胎:Lisa Lindquist Dorr (bio) 1971 年 10 月 6 日,佛罗里达大学学生报《佛罗里达鳄鱼报》的编辑 Ron Sachs 因违反该州 1868 年禁止堕胎的法律而被捕。萨克斯本人并未提供或直接参与任何堕胎活动。1 萨克斯和他的编辑团队不顾校长和大学律师的建议,在 10 月 6 日的《短吻鳄报》上刊登了一份堕胎转介和咨询服务清单。这些服务机构为意外怀孕的妇女提供咨询,并提供有关合格堕胎机构的信息。编辑们认为,无论法律如何规定,佛罗里达州的学生都应该了解有关堕胎转介服务的信息,这一点在过去几年的校园辩论中已经很清楚。对萨克斯的指控最终被驳回,判决认为佛罗里达州的堕胎法侵犯了妇女的隐私权,而且禁止提供信息也侵犯了言论自由权。两个月后,即 1972 年 2 月,佛罗里达州最高法院表示同意,完全废除了 [End Page 539] 佛罗里达州的 1868 年法律。2 因此,佛罗里达州的大学报纸可以自由刊登有关妇女可以在哪里寻求安全堕胎的信息。全国的学生报纸都在庆祝萨克斯的胜利,佛罗里达州和全国各地的几家大报也是如此。佛罗里达大学甚至更进一步,认识到佛罗里达学生对堕胎手术的兴趣,通过学生会提供了自己的校内转介服务。最近,在美国最高法院于 2022 年 6 月做出多布斯诉杰克逊妇女健康组织案的判决后,萨克斯争取堕胎权的故事再次被提起。但是,在 1973 年 "罗伊诉韦德 "案使堕胎合法化之前,南方高校学生为获得堕胎机会所做的努力远不止 "佛罗里达鳄鱼 "一案。整个南方的大学生都要求在大学校园里获得生殖服务。他们生动的争论、活动和个人努力说明了早在《罗伊诉韦德案》之前南方关于堕胎的复杂争论。尽管妇女解放团体参与了这一进程,表达了废除堕胎法的愿望,但她们并不孤单。事实上,关于堕胎的争论与 20 世纪 60 年代学生运动中经常出现的有组织的抗议活动相比并不那么重要。3 由于对婚前性行为持更宽容的 [第 540 页完] 观点,并对同学们自己关于意外怀孕和堕胎的故事做出了回应,南方各地以白人为主的校园中的大学生们主张生育选择和个人自由,从学生报纸到立法记录等证据都表明,他们根据自己的信念采取了行动。这些努力指出了意外怀孕对 "coeds "造成的实际后果,以及这些怀孕,尤其是高风险的非法堕胎,对女性造成的不同于男性的影响。因此,获得安全堕胎的机会似乎才是公平的。不出所料,学生们对性价值观的自主性和随意性的渴望引起了家长、管理者和国家当局的警觉。大学生需要节育、意外怀孕和寻求堕胎的迹象向老一代人证实,大学校园及其学生自办的报纸已经失去了道德指南针。尽管有关学生性行为的冲突在佛罗里达州爆发得轰轰烈烈,但在南部其他州,以白人为主的院校的校董和州政府官员也在想方设法限制学生获取有关节育和堕胎的信息。虽然学生们不一定会走上街头,但他们坚持维护自己决定自身价值观的权利,并取得了相当大的成功。到 1973 年,在 "罗伊诉韦德案 "之前的几年中,围绕着怀孕和堕胎的恐惧和沉默在许多南方校园中被一种新的性景观所取代,在这种景观中,婚前性行为和生殖控制是学生生活中被接受的方面,甚至在 "罗伊案 "之前,获得安全堕胎的途径也取代了非法堕胎的风险。

以下是内容的简要摘录,以代替摘要: 德克萨斯黑地草原上的高等教育:三一大学的内战时代 萨拉-贝丝-考夫曼(Sarah Beth Kaufman)(简历) 在美国各地,高等教育机构都在努力解决奴隶制遗留下来的问题。布朗大学校长露丝-J-西蒙斯(Ruth J. Simmons)是第一位领导常春藤盟校的黑人女性,在她的历史性任务的推动下,各高校记录了受奴役劳工的作用,颂扬了社区中曾经受奴役成员的成就,并采取了和解措施1。学者们认为,内战时期的种族资本值得更多关注。2 三一大学的创建故事揭示了这一时代的一个方面:高等教育如何将内战前奴役所得财富输送给奴隶制废除后的新教盎格鲁儿童。这篇文章利用难民、自由人和遗弃土地局(Freedmen's Bureau)的信件和大学档案记录等材料,为内战时期建立的其他南方学院和大学提供了一个范例,以阐明它们也是如何从奴隶经济中获益的。[第 503 页完] 如今,圣三一大学是德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥市的一所小型私立学校。它的本科生人数超过 2,500 人,跻身美国文理学院前五十名之列,并拥有与之相匹配的捐赠基金。与其他以白人为主的学校一样,三一学院在历史上一直为白人学生(在此称为 "白 人 "或 "盎格鲁人")服务,而不利于少数种族群体,特别是黑人学生。4 三一学院由坎伯兰长老会于 1869 年开办,是 19 世纪后期在整个南方传播福音的众多学院之一。4 三一学院于 1869 年由坎伯兰长老会开办,是十九世纪后期在南方传播的众多福音派学院之一。该学院现在是世俗的,与美国长老会保持盟约关系。二十世纪上半叶,学校位于德克萨斯州达拉斯附近的瓦克萨哈奇,之后搬迁到圣安东尼奥的现址。但是,圣三一大学是在德克萨斯州中部偏远的特瓦卡纳山(Tehuacana Hills)建立的,位于石灰岩县(Limestone County)。它不是由一个人或一个家族创办的,而是由一群盎格鲁教会和社区领袖创办的,他们都很富有,可以捐赠土地和资金,担任董事会成员,并四处奔走为学校募捐。他们中的大多数人都是农民、商人和牧师,他们来自南方各州的名门望族,曾经奴役过人民,并为南方邦联打过仗。尽管内战使他们失去了大量财富,但三一学院的创建者们还是建立了德克萨斯州仅有的 20 所私立学院之一,这些学院在 19 世纪建立的近百所学院中一直存活到 20 世纪末。他们成功的故事--以前被记载为虔诚者的胜利--也与南部重建未能为那些从奴役中解放出来的人创造有意义的机会息息相关。他们用从奴役中获得的财富创办了一所全白人的私立大学,同时又破坏了为黑人儿童建立教育体系的尝试,这说明了种族化与资本积累--或种族资本主义--不可分割地纠缠在一起,并在现代美国早期发展起来。直到布朗诉教育委员会案(Brown v. Board of Education,1954 年)之后,圣三一大学仍不对黑人学生开放。9 但该校第一代全白人毕业生从席卷 19 世纪得克萨斯州的新兴 "军事棉花综合体 "中获利,帮助该地区将严重的经济和种族等级制度维持到 20 世纪。关于 19 世纪高等教育的史学研究通常分为南北战争两边的两个时期。

<span><span>In lieu of</span> an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:</span><p> <span>Reviewed by:</span> <ul> <li><!-- html_title --> <em>Seven Virginians: The Men Who Shaped Our Republic</em> by John B.

(Charlottesville and London: University of Virginia Press, 2023. Pp. xii, 392. $34.95, ISBN 978-0-8139-4909-3.) <p>John B. Boles’s <em>Seven Virginians: The Men Who Shaped Our Republic</em> provides a highly readable account of the “long revolutionary era” between the 1740s and 1830s as lived by George Mason, George Washington, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, John Marshall, and James Monroe (p. 2). According to Boles, these “seven men were born in the northeast quadrant of the colony of Virginia” and played “a vastly disproportionate role in the founding of this nation” (p. 1). The book’s first thirteen chapters tell the story of the country’s founding in a largely chronological narrative from the French and Indian War through the late 1820s. A fourteenth chapter on “Institution Builders” examines Marshall’s tenure as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and Jefferson’s role in founding the University of Virginia. A final chapter considers the legacies of Jefferson, Madison, Marshall, and Monroe regarding slavery and their influence on the effort to write a new constitution for the state of Virginia in 1829.</p> <p>Boles moves briskly through more than eighty years of history while trying to tell coherent stories about each Virginian, but he tries to do too much, and the book’s primary contribution is ultimately unclear. The narrative thrust of <em>Seven Virginians</em> is the chronology of America’s founding, often with Washington, Jefferson, or Madison at the center. Little space is left for the contributions of Mason, Henry, Monroe, and Marshall, who are not central to Boles’s conception of the founding. Devoting more space to their achievements and service would have helped readers to better understand who these four were as politicians and Virginians—especially so for Monroe, who is briefly described as an Antifederalist Francophile in the 1780s and 1790s and as a mildly pro-British nationalist in the 1810s, with little context provided to explain the transition. Monroe and Marshall are at least highlighted in chapters near the end of the book, but Henry and especially Mason receive short shrift. The same can be said of the putative unifying theme of the book—that these seven were all Virginians. Virginia, and the ways the state and its politics shaped who these leaders were, is not a prominent enough character in the book to make it feel as if we learned anything new about the founding or these leaders from this approach.</p> <p>Boles admits that “a book about seven white slaveholders will appear inappropriate or even repugnant to some readers in 2023,” but he justifi
以下是内容的简要摘录,以代替摘要:评论者: 弗吉尼亚七杰约翰-B-博尔斯(John B. Boles)著,杰弗里-J-马兰森(Jeffrey J. Malanson)译 七位维吉尼亚人:塑造我们共和国的人:塑造我们共和国的人。作者 John B. Boles。(夏洛茨维尔和伦敦:弗吉尼亚大学出版社,2023 年。第 xii 页,第 392 页。34.95美元,ISBN 978-0-8139-4909-3)。约翰-B-博尔斯(John B. Boles)的《弗吉尼亚七杰》(Seven Virginians:The Men Who Shaped Our Republic》以极高的可读性描述了乔治-梅森、乔治-华盛顿、帕特里克-亨利、托马斯-杰斐逊、詹姆斯-麦迪逊、约翰-马歇尔和詹姆斯-门罗在 17 世纪 40 年代到 18 世纪 30 年代之间的 "漫长的革命时代"(第 2 页)。博尔斯认为,这 "七个人出生在弗吉尼亚殖民地的东北角","在建国过程中发挥了极大的作用"(第 1 页)。本书的前十三章主要按时间顺序讲述了从法国与印第安人战争到 19 世纪 20 年代末的建国故事。第十四章 "制度建设者 "探讨了马歇尔担任最高法院首席大法官的任期以及杰斐逊在创建弗吉尼亚大学中的作用。最后一章探讨了杰斐逊、麦迪逊、马歇尔和门罗在奴隶制方面的遗产,以及他们对 1829 年弗吉尼亚州制定新宪法的影响。博尔斯轻快地回顾了八十多年的历史,同时试图讲述关于每个弗吉尼亚人的连贯故事,但他试图做的事情太多,本书的主要贡献最终并不明确。七位弗吉尼亚人》的叙事重点是美国建国的时间顺序,通常以华盛顿、杰斐逊或麦迪逊为中心。几乎没有篇幅介绍梅森、亨利、门罗和马歇尔的贡献,他们在博尔斯的建国理念中并不重要。如果能用更多篇幅介绍他们的成就和服务,将有助于读者更好地了解这四人作为政治家和弗吉尼亚人的身份--尤其是门罗,他在 17 世纪 80 年代和 90 年代曾被简短地描述为反联邦主义者中的法语爱好者,而在 18 世纪 10 年代又被描述为温和的亲英民族主义者,但几乎没有提供背景资料来解释这一转变。门罗和马歇尔至少在该书接近结尾的章节中得到了强调,但亨利,尤其是梅森却受到了冷落。本书的统一主题也是如此,即这七人都是弗吉尼亚人。弗吉尼亚州,以及该州及其政治塑造这些领导人的方式,在书中并不是一个足够突出的角色,以至于让人觉得我们似乎从这种方法中学到了关于建国或这些领导人的任何新知识。博尔斯承认,"对 2023 年的一些读者来说,一本关于七个白人奴隶主的书会显得不合适,甚至令人反感",但他为自己的选题辩解道,"如果我们要诚实、完整地面对我们的历史,就必须看到这些人的所有复杂性--好的和坏的"(第 2 页)。问题在于,博尔斯在很大程度上将对他们与奴隶制的关系的讨论推迟到了最后一章,从而将这一思考与主要叙述分离开来。更有意识地探讨他们的个人生活和经济财富是如何与奴隶制联系在一起的、弗吉尼亚州的政治是如何影响他们的个人思想的,以及他们在 19 世纪是如何构思殖民的等问题,可以帮助读者更好地理解这些弗吉尼亚人是如何用智力和道德的体操来合理化他们所宣称的自由和他们所创造的社会的。[七位弗吉尼亚人》的前提最终未能完全实现。考虑弗吉尼亚州对这七位创始人作为领袖的影响,以及对他们在国家政治内外的全部职业生涯的影响,在很大程度上要让位于建国叙事的分量。这是令人遗憾的,因为对这七位弗吉尼亚人的研究,如果能优先深入研究他们的州身份,以及他们的政治和民族思想在美国形成和成熟过程中的演变,将是一项真正引人入胜的研究。杰弗里-J.-马兰森威廉姆斯学院版权所有 © 2024 美国南方历史协会 ...

以下是内容的简要摘录,以代替摘要: 是的,有一个 "Quare"/Queer South!Leisa D.

Texas:同性恋社会运动的形成》(Before Lawrence v. Texas: The Making of a Queer Social Movement)。作者:Wesley G. Phelps。Jack and Doris Smothers Series in Texas History, Life, and Culture.(奥斯汀:德克萨斯大学出版社,2023 年。第 x 页,第 292 页。34.95美元,ISBN 978-1-4773-2232-1)。最近,我作为威廉玛丽学院的教师代表之一,参加了为新录取学生的家长和朋友举办的 "亲和小组 "早餐会。这个 "亲和小组 "的对象是孩子被认定为 LGBTQ+ 的家庭。与会人员表达最多的问题(在很多方面也是最大的恐惧)是他们的孩子在威廉玛丽学院是否安全。当我要求他们进一步说明这个问题时,他们的重点不是他们的孩子在大学里是否 "安全",而是他们的同性恋孩子在 "南方 "是否 "安全"。我不能责怪他们的假设,即美国东南部--"美国南方"--可能不太欢迎他们的同性恋孩子。在我们当前的文化氛围中,各州立法机构正在通过越来越多的法律来规范妇女和青年(尤其是变性青年)的身体,而美国东南部各州无疑在其中一些措施上走在了前列。1 尽管如此,随着我们交谈的深入,很明显 [第 581 页完] ,他们认为南方可能会对他们的孩子造成危险的推断也是基于他们真诚的信念,即南方没有什么同性恋--那是同性恋者逃离而不是前往的地区,那是 LGBTQ+ 文化从未有机会发展的地区,即使尝试发展也会被扼杀。在过去二十多年里,我们目睹了大量书籍、文章和数字项目(以及其他在线和印刷出版物)对 "南方同性恋者 "进行研究和叙事,因此这种假设似乎更有问题。2 在这些作品中,玛丽-L-格雷(Mary L. Gray)对阿巴拉契亚肯塔基州、西弗吉尼亚州和田纳西州的研究《走出乡村》(Out in the Country)发现,威廉与玛丽家族的假设有一定道理。然而,格雷也发现了一些反驳的证据,例如,在沃尔玛工作的一位朋友的协助下,半打同性恋高中生即兴举办了沃尔玛变装舞会。这些舞会持续了将近一年,后来被当地政府和沃尔玛管理层叫停。格雷在她的人种学研究中还发现,"亲属关系 "往往转化为对某些人的保护,即使他们的非正常性别和/或性身份违背了现有的基于宗教的行为标准。在这里,格雷认为,广义上的个人家庭关系意味着 "亲属 "有时会介入惩罚者和作为惩罚对象的亲族之间。3 此外,这些家庭认为 "圣经地带"(一位家长使用的术语)是同性恋者无法生长的地方,这种推测可能也 [第 582 页完] 有一定道理。然而,格雷戈里-萨曼莎-罗森塔尔(Gregory Samantha Rosenthal)最近出版的专著《生活的同性恋历史》(Living Queer History)记录了弗吉尼亚州罗阿诺克市(Roanoke)长期存在的、相当明显的同性恋社区和文化。罗森塔尔详细介绍了她和罗诺克学院的学生八年来与来自罗诺克当地同性恋社区的个人开展的合作工作--这项工作是由一些同性恋者发起的。

以下是内容的简要摘录,以代替摘要:评论者 Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter: Power and Human Rights, 1975-2000 by E. Stanly Godbold Jr Kristin L. Ahlberg Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter: Power and Human Rights, 1975-2000.作者:小 E. Stanly Godbold(纽约:牛津大学出版社,2022 年):牛津大学出版社,2022 年。第 xii 页,第 889 页。39.99美元,ISBN 978-0-19-758156-8)。这本书是吉米-卡特和罗莎琳-卡特两部传记的第二部分,从吉米 1975 年 1 月离开佐治亚州州长办公室开始,一直写到 2020 年。E. Stanly Godbold Jr.在叙述这四十五年间的历史时,平衡了卡特政府在内政外交政策方面的成就和危机,以及吉米 [第660页完] 和罗莎琳-卡特的职业生涯和个人生活。这部著作详尽无遗地涵盖了众所周知的成功和失败。但更令人感兴趣的是戈德博尔德对卡特夫妇共同的南方背景及其主张的描述。他们的经历、信仰和对彼此的信任都影响了他们的政治伙伴关系,以及他们在白宫和白宫之后选择优先考虑的问题。戈德博尔德指出,卡特尔夫妇 "将他们对家庭和邻居的关怀和培养提升到了国家和国际层面"(第 661 页)。正是这种相互作用揭示了对卡特夫妇的更全面的评价,这与最近的学术研究以及卡特政府档案文献的增加是一致的。正如书名所示,卡特夫妇的合作关系以及卡特政府内外对人权的认同构成了贯穿全文的两大主题。罗莎琳-卡特适应了她丈夫在海军服役、回到佐治亚州经营卡特花生仓库以及他刚刚开始的政治生涯所需要的各种情况和环境。在所有情况下,她都承担了更大的责任,并感到有能力分享自己的观点。戈德博尔德认为,在1975年罗莎琳为丈夫竞选时,这些证明对她很有帮助。吉米-卡特对妻子的政治敏锐度、机智和人际交往能力给予了肯定和赞赏,这意味着他不仅鼓励罗莎琳在心理健康领域开展活动,还在 1977 年初选派她作为总统特使前往南美几个国家,在那里就人权问题进行了实质性的讨论。虽然这些活动有时会让她受到有关第一夫人 "适当 "角色的批评,但戈德博尔德总结说,吉米-卡特愿意让妻子承担这些责任,"了解他的人应该不会感到惊讶"(第112页)。在 1976 年的竞选活动中,吉米-卡特一直强调人权,并宣称他的政府将奉行以人权为基础的外交政策。作为总统,他与流亡国外的苏联人安德烈-萨哈罗夫(Andrei Sakharov)通信,"特别是向苏联乃至全世界表明,他在促进人权方面是认真的"(第130页)。他还提名密西西比州民权活动家帕特里夏-"帕特"-墨菲-德里安(Patricia "Patt" Murphy Derian)担任第一任主管人权和人道主义事务的助理国务卿。德里安、国务卿赛勒斯-万斯(Cyrus Vance)和副国务卿沃伦-克里斯托弗(Warren Christopher)努力将卡特的承诺转化为可行的政策,并承认要始终如一地执行这样的政策存在固有的困难。卡特限制向侵犯人权者提供外国援助的行动,以及他公开反对侵犯人权行为的意愿,"使人权作为美国外交政策的工具合法化,这种合法性将在他执政后持续很久"(第118页)。戈德博尔德的研究非常全面,参考了大量回忆录、已出版的原始资料、二手资料、访谈和档案收藏。例如,在戈德博尔德对威利-纳尔逊 1977 年访问白宫的描述中,就充满了幽默感:"卡特从农业转向政治,找到了'帮助普通人'的方法,而威利则学会了如何娱乐普通人"(第 146 页)。遗憾的是,错误还是存在的。一些政府 [第 661 页末] 官员的头衔不正确,也不一致。在其他一些地方,日期被调换或错误,名字也拼写错误。不过,这些并不影响戈德博尔德在记录卡特尔一家生活方面所取得的总体成就,卡特尔一家 "树立了榜样,超越了政治的喧嚣和许多国家和...
