From the Case Files: Reconstructing a history of involuntary sterilisation
Although it is well-known that numerous jurisdictions in North America adopted legislation in the first half of the twentieth century allowing the involuntary sterilisation of persons diagnosed as 'mentally deficient', analysis of its implementation has rarely progressed beyond the examination of the legislation and the aggregate data presented in official reports. In this paper we analyse the case files of the Eugenics Board for the province of …
Disability studies in human geography
Studies of disability have been rare in human geography until a recent blossoming of interest. In this article we review the expanding literature on disability, charting the process by which such studies have become newly significant in the field. Our initial focus is on physical disability after which we move on to issues around mental health and intellectual disability. In the concluding section we evaluate the significance of recent work on di…

Despite their aura of self-containment and apparent closure the institutions built to confine people diagnosed as 'mentally deficient' or 'feebleminded' were closely connected to broader social structures.

Testing the Model of the Pre-Industrial City: The Case of Ante-Bellum Charleston, South Carolina
It has become clear that Sjoberg's much criticized but highly influential model of the pre-industrial city is not relevant to all non-industrial cities. Its applicability within the western world is likely to be limited to a minority of cities which were not only dependent upon low levels of technology, but were also dominated by non-mercantile elites. Some areas of the Southern U.S.A. before the Civil War appear to have possessed many characteri…
