  • Turn, Turn, Turn

    Susan K Cahn, K CahnARTICLEJournal of American History2014Cited by: 3

    Amy Bass's “Sports History and the ‘Cultural Turn’” is an insightful and comprehensive analysis of the state of sports history, making a strong case for its scholarly excellence and innovation, relevance to other subfields, and worthiness as a strand in “grand narrative” history. Appreciative of her discerning overview, I make my comments in the spirit of further inquiry into the peculiar status of sports history. Bass's essay is simultaneously b…

  • Spirited Youth or Fiends Incarnate

    Susan K Cahn, Susan CahnARTICLEJournal of women's history1998

    This article examines the 1931 arson trial of sixteen inmates of the North Carolina reformatory for delinquent girls. The sensational trial triggered a public debate on the meaning of "sexual delinquency" in working-class white girls. While the reaction to the case typifies a century-long pattern of ambivalence about female adolescent sexuality in the United States, it can best be understood in the context of the class and racial politics of a mo…
