Poor Gal
As a compendium of the Liza Jane family of songs, Dan Gutstein's Poor Gal: The Cultural History of Little Liza Jane represents an important intervention in both the musical history of the United States and African American folklore studies. Rich in detail and meticulously researched, Poor Gal maps out the evolution and numerous variations of “Little Liza Jane,” a folk song that most likely originated among enslaved people during the festive dance…
Making No Compromise
Cold War aviation
With the economic and political support of the United States, in July 1947, Turkey signed contracts with the Westinghouse Electric International Company and J.G. White Engineering Corporation to construct its first international civilian airport, Istanbul's Yeşilköy Airport. As this article will argue, the building of Yeşilköy (1949–53), through a partnership with two American engineering firms, is essentially an early Cold War narrative of trans…
‘Here comes the (Turkish) bride’
This ethnographic study seeks to position Turkish women within the lucrative global bridal industry, which is today heavily influenced by the style, aesthetics and consumer values of the American wedding. It will add to the existing literature by examining Turkish brides’ participation in transnational networks that promote the commodification of weddings in Turkey – a country where, for many, weddings were until quite recently low-budget affairs…

Scientific imperialism and the American Equatorial Islands Colonization Project, 1935-1942
Between 1935 and 1942, a total of 130 men, aged seventeen to twenty-four, mostly of indigenous Hawaiian heritage, colonized Howland, Baker, and Jarvis Islands for the United States, in rotation, over the course of twenty-six expeditions. As part of the American Equatorial Islands Colonization Project (AEICP), they compiled meteorological data, observed and recorded the natural life of their surroundings, collected specimens for the Bishop Museum …
Science as Diplomacy
On July 16, 1938, Franklin Delano Roosevelt boarded the USS Houston in San Diego and embarked on what would come to be known as the Third Presidential Cruise. Publicized as a presidential fishing trip, the 1938 excursion was considerably more than a summer vacation. Covering 5,888 miles in twenty-four days, it comprised fourteen stops in the territories of five different countries: Mexico, France, Ecuador, Costa Rica, and Colombia. Concluding in …
Transferring Technical Knowledge to Turkey
On 27 December 1939, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Erzincan, Turkey, claiming close to 33 000 lives, and leaving 100 000 injured and 250 000 homeless. World War II was in its initial stages, and the USA was particularly concerned about the vulnerable situation in Turkey, since there was a possibility that it would join forces with Germany, as the Ottoman Empire had done in World War I. Consequently, the Turkish request for information on ‘a t…
A Light Bulb in Every House
In 1946, Turkish entrepreneur Vehbi Koç signed an agreement with the U.S. firm General Electric to build and operate its first light bulb factory in the Near/Middle East, in Istanbul. This private joint venture introduced new manufacturing techniques, business practices, and consumer habits to Turkey, opening channels of postwar technological exchange. Closer examination of the GE-Koç partnership reveals that during the early Cold War, the transf…
Paula Green’s feminist activism
A pioneer of women in advertising and television media, Paula Green (1927–2015) is arguably best remembered for her copy for the Avis “We Try Harder” campaign that revolutionized Madison Avenue in the 1960s. While Green certainly flourished at Doyle Dane Bernbach, by the end of the decade, she had reached the highest position available to her at the agency. It was at this point she decided to establish her own firm, Green Dolmatch. As its preside…
The Autobiography of a Neurasthene (1910)
This article argues that Margaret Abigail Cleaves's The Autobiography of a Neurasthene was part of a body of nineteenth‐century writing that attempted to reclaim and recover the voices of American women by chronicling their struggles with illnesses and cures and documenting their interactions with the medical profession. Cleaves's gynocentric counternarrative was a searing criticism of the prevalent medical model of her era that questioned its tr…
Constructing Containment
For the first half of the twentieth century, Thompson-Starrett and Co., a New York-based American engineering, construction, and contracting firm, dominated the building scene. In operation between 1899 and 1968, it was a leader in skyscraper construction and large-scale projects, and literally built the New York skyline. It designed and constructed the tallest skyscraper of the era, the Woolworth Building, as well as other iconic Manhattan struc…

The “Mad Men” of Nutrition
In 1964, a diet presented itself that would not only allow American men to recapture their fading youth and health through trimmer bodies, but would also permit them to reclaim their disappearing post-war social power through a reassertion of heteronormative hegemonic masculinity. Called The Drinking Man’s Diet: How to Lose Weight with a Minimum of Willpower, it was a statement against the changes that were occurring in American society, conveyed…
Domestic sensualism
When New York writer Laurie Colwin is remembered, it is usually for her numerous novels and short stories. However, between the mid-1980s and her death in 1992 at the age of forty-eight, she also wrote for Gourmet magazine, and published two volumes of food writing: Home Cooking: A Writer in the Kitchen (1988) and More Home Cooking: A Writer Returns to the Kitchen (posthumously in 1993). In “Guilty Pleasures: The Fiction of Laurie Colwin,” Amy Ri…

Martha Turnbull’s Garden Diary
Discovered in the mid-1990s in a descendant’s attic, the garden diary of plantation mistress Martha Turnbull (1809–96) provides a window into life as it existed in the nineteenth century at Rosedown Plantation in St. Francisville, West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana. Spanning almost sixty years between 1836 and 1895, the diary presents layers of first-hand insight into a domestic world that extended far beyond the descriptions of Martha’s gardening …
Food on the Borderlands
The diary of Johanna Louisa ‘Josie’ Underwood (1840–1923), the daughter of Kentucky lawyer, politician and plantation owner Warner Underwood, portrays what happened to many elite households in Kentucky during the American Civil War (1861–1865), especially with its depiction of food as a scarce, and thus increasingly valuable, resource. Spanning the first two years of the conflict, Josie’s diary is essentially a war narrative written by a well-edu…
Food, Museums, and Cultural Heritage Sites
Over the past decade or so, the study of food museums has emerged out of larger disciplines such as food studies, memory studies, museology, hospitality management, culinary tourism, and travel and leisure studies as its own area of inquiry. Food museums have existed for decades, but are increasing in popularity in the United States and globally, both as places to visit and as venues of study. Food museums play a significant role in the preservat…

The Game is the Double Game”
The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond (1957) functions as a searing retort against the American medical model which, for decades, demonized drug and alcohol users by labeling them as “disabled”; medicalized social “deviants”; pathologized sexual preference; and attempted to eradicate physical, psychological, and sexual non-normativity through eugenics. By depicting characters grappling with issues such as substance addiction, homosexuality, and euthanas…

Less Sugar, More Warships
The use of food as American war propaganda finds its origins in the First World War, when anti-German sentiment prompted Americans to rename German foods. The First World War also signifies an important turning point in the history of American food consumption because it represents a shift in eating habits, culinary practices, and domestic food preparation, including the infiltration of fresh home-grown fruit and vegetables and preserved or canne…
The Mistress, the Midwife, and the Medical Doctor
This article represents a step towards examining the relationship between three key figures in the antebellum American South: the plantation mistress, the slave-midwife, and the professional male physician. It elucidates how the experiences of pregnancy and childbirth, which brought women close to death, formed the basis of a deeper, positive relationship between the black and white women of the antebellum South, and assesses the ways in which th…
Eating in Survival Town
Nuclear anxiety, as crafted and perpetuated by the United States Federal Civil Defense Administration's programmes, not only informed how, and what, Americans ate in the 1950s, but also contoured their relationship with food. This culinary-based nuclear anxiety was reflected in government-sponsored programmes such as Grandma's Pantry, advice concerning the content of bomb/fallout shelter food stashes, and the cookbooks of the period. The federal …

Midwifery and Women's Work in the Early American Republic
Twenty years after its initial publication, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich's Pulitzer Prize winning monograph A midwife's tale: the life of Martha Ballard based on her diary, 1785–1812 (1990) still serves as a major benchmark in women's labour/economic history mainly because it provides scholars with a window into the life of a turn-of-the-nineteenth-century lay American rural healer not through the comments of an outsider, but through the words of the h…

In 1965, 71% of legal abortions in the United States were performed using the surgical procedure of dilation and curettage. By 1972, a mere seven years later, approximately the same percentage (72.6%) of legal abortions in the United States were performed using a completely new abortion technology: the electrical vacuum aspirator. This article examines why, in less than a decade, electric vacuum suction became American physicians' abortion techno…
Recapitulating the historiographical contributions of Matthew Frye Jacobson's Whiteness of a Different Color and Gail Bederman's Manliness and Civilization
Prior to the mid-1990s, most of the literature on American whiteness and its relationship to masculinity emerged from the historiography of labor and the working class, and focused on race as an instrument of social control or class discipline. About ten years ago, Mathew Frye Jacobson and Gail Bederman pioneered the current shift away from this previous emphasis on labor movements and class relations, to explore the political and cultural implic…
From “Golden Girl’ to “Yellow Peril”
The female body and the social constructions that define it, can literally be "read' in fiction and non-fiction, and in a genre which combines elements of both literary styles: the biographical novel. Ruthanne Lum McCunn's Thousand Pieces of Gold, which traces the life of Lalu Nathoy, a Chinese woman who migrated to the United States during the late-nineteenth century, is a prime example of such a hybrid account. As both a modern historical figur…

Suzan-Lori Parks
As demonstrated by Deirdre Osborne’s 2011 review essay for Contemporary Women’s Writing “Feminist Stages and Subaltern Sightlines,” theater and drama have proven to be important and challenging areas of exploration and intervention for contemporary feminists. Complementing recent publications on feminist theater are three new studies of individual American women playwrights of diverse backgrounds: Suzan-Lori Parks, Wendy Wasserstein, and Maria Ir…
Rumours, Gossip and Lies
Most readings of American playwright Lillian Hellman's The Children's Hour (1934) focus on the psycho-social power of adolescent-driven gossip, rumours and slander, and the frightening outcomes that can emerge when people lose their ability to reason, question, analyse and criticise the world around them. This article argues that the drama also serves as a cultural and political commentary on the social anxieties of a changing America seeking a “…

Ashley Wilkes Told Me He Likes to See a Girl with a Healthy Appetite
Despite the passage of three-quarters of a century since its publication in 1936, critics and biographers still grapple with how to place Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind (GWTW) within southern literature. While some hail GWTW as an example of the 'Great American Novel', others see the work as contributing to the perpetuation of destructive stereotypes concerning African Americans, as well as a nostalgic distortion of life in the nineteenth…
