  • Transpacific Project

    Open AccessWalter L HixsonARTICLEDiplomatic History2020

    Marilyn Lake advances knowledge of settler colonialism and transnational Progressivism in this well-researched study. Progressive New World underscores a deeply embedded, transnational linkage between racism and liberal reform within American and Australasian history. Transpacific progressivism, a movement fueled by white elites, thus evolved in concert with the denigration and regimentation of the non-white other. Progressive New World globalize…

  • Israel's Armor

    Open AccessWalter L HixsonBOOKIsrael's Armor2019

    The United States and Israel have long had a 'special relationship'. The US became the first country in the world to recognize the state of Israel in 1948, and has been an important ally and benefactor ever since. A critical component of the special relationship is the pro-Israel lobby. Although the lobby has been a controversial topic in public affairs, it has been widely understudied. Israel's Armor fills a gap in the existing literature by exa…

  • Martin J. Sklar. Creating the American Century

    Open AccessWalter L HixsonARTICLEThe American Historical Review2018

    In this posthumously published work, Martin J. Sklar, who died in 2014, culminated a life’s worth of scholarship focusing on the early twentieth century as a transformative period in American history. Viewing the Spanish-American War and the Progressive Era as turning points, Sklar argues that the “founders” of twentieth-century foreign policy established the framework of a proactive and universalistic “American Century” that followed. At the tur…

  • America's Forgotten Colony

    Walter L HixsonARTICLEJournal of American History2018Citada por: 1

    This original and well-executed study illuminates an “overlooked story of American imperialism”: the effort by thousands of U.S. citizens to settle permanently on Cuba's Isle of Pines—known since 1978 as Isla de la Juventud, or Isle of Youth (p. 7). Located some forty miles off the southwest coast, it is the largest island off the Cuban mainland. As Michael E. Neagle chronicles in a thoroughly researched and flowing account, the United States rec…

  • David Milne. Worldmaking

    Walter L HixsonARTICLEThe American Historical Review2016

    Biographical approaches have long been a staple of diplomatic history, although the field has evolved considerably in the past generation. As David Milne shows in this collective study of nine prominent makers of U.S. foreign relations, much can still be learned from traditional approaches rooted in the thoughts and actions of great white men (and one black one, Barack Obama). Worldmaking: The Art and Science of American Diplomacy is a collective…

  • Policing the Past

    Walter L HixsonARTICLEWestern Historical Quarterly2016

    For scholars Gary Clayton Anderson, John Mack Faragher, and Guenter Lewy, among many others, genocide appears to be a term reserved for Turks, Nazis, Cambodians, Rwandans, and other truly evil peoples but is unsuitable for application to American history. 1 Anderson has decided that the correct term to apply to the history of American Indian policy is ethnic cleansing , and that the 1998 Rome Statute provides the singularly correct bureaucratic e…

  • “The Savage and Common Enemy of the Country”

    Open AccessWalter L HixsonCHAPTERAmerican Settler Colonialism2013

    L ong before Buffalo Bill and later Hollywood romanticized the “Wild West,” Indians were driven out of the vast colonial spaces of the eastern half of the North American continent. In the early decades of the nineteenth century, as they faced relentless and unprecedented pressures, indigenous people became divided on how best to respond to the American settler-colonial juggernaut. Through trade, conversion to Christianity, intermarriage, and esta…

  • “Things Too Scandalous to Write”

    Open AccessWalter L HixsonCHAPTERAmerican Settler Colonialism2013

    P ostcolonial analysis illuminates continuity in the history of US colonialism. The counterinsurgency war waged by the United States at the turn of the century in the Philippine archipelago, though not a settler project, was nonetheless a colonial project. The argument for viewing the “Spanish-American War” and the “Philippine Insurrection” as discontinuous rests on a disavowal of the prior history of settler colonialism. By relegating Indian rem…

  • “No Savage Shall Inherit the Land”

    Open AccessWalter L HixsonCHAPTERAmerican Settler Colonialism2013

    D uring the eighteenth century, explosive settler colonization established a structural framework that would drive Indians from the land. Trade and diplomacy enabled relatively peaceful relations between Europeans and indigenes in the first half of the eighteenth century. Thereafter, the influx of settlers and the outbreak of the French and Indian War heightened the conflicts involving Indians, imperial authorities, speculators, and settlers. The…

  • Empire as a Way of Life

    Walter L HixsonARTICLEDiplomatic History2007

    There is nothing quite like a failed preemptive war in defiance of virtually the entire international community to revive discussion of whether the United States is an “empire.” Moreover, once the “e-word” has been deployed, the Roman corollary and tropes such as “decline” and “rogue” inevitably work their way into the discourse. The two distinguished scholars whose books are under review here grapple with these weighty issues. The results are of…

  • Edward Lansdale's Cold War

    Walter L HixsonARTICLEJournal of American History2006

    This biography probes the personality, career, and cultural representation of the legendary Central Intelligence Agency (cia) covert operations specialist Col. Edward G. Lansdale. Preceded only by a mendacious and self-serving autobiography, as well as an adulatory authorized biography, Jonathan Nashel's work is the first meaningful book-length analysis of this critical figure in both the history and mythology of the Cold War. Nashel makes an imp…

    Walter L Hixson, Jeffrey T RichelsonARTICLEJournal of American History2002

    This book celebrates the triumphs of the Directorate of Science and Technology of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) over some forty years of the Cold War. While not entirely uncritical, Jeffrey T. Richelson concludes that the directorate's “foresight and successes far outdistance its follies and failures.” As an institutional history of a key branch of the CIA, this account focuses on prominent programs and individuals whose mission was to ha…
