A Contest of Civilizations
American exceptionalism has emerged as the leitmotif of recent calls to transform the field of United States history. Effervescent, elusive, and parochial as it may be, scholars know it when they see it. But, as Lang’s powerful work deftly shows, it was also historically contingent, precise, and internationalist.In A Contest of Civilizations, Lang places exceptionalist discourses front and center in the political crises of the Civil War era throu…
Global History of Gold Rushes
Nothing set the world in motion like gold. Gold rushes accelerated the global circulation of people, goods, capital, and technologies that transformed settler societies around the world. Yet they are rarely considered in a global perspective. While in the past, national histories have emphasized the role of gold rushes as accelerants of state formation, crucibles of national character, and watersheds of political development, the essays in Gold R…

This article proposes that U.S. foreign relations in the nineteenth century were structured around the transnational interconnections of American communities overseas. The diplomacy of Britain’s American community during the Civil War refocuses historian’s attention on the offshore institutions and civic life that conditioned American public diplomacy throughout the nineteenth century.

Locating the English diaspora, 1500–2010
Envisioning the Nation
Before a thronging crowd at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St Louis, Henry Adams ‘professed the religion of World’s Fairs’ and confessed to his fellow ‘pilgrims’ an ‘optimistic dream of future strength in American expression.’ World’s Fairs exerted powerful cultural influences upon mass audiences in the United States. Nearly one hundred million American citizens visited international expositions held in a dozen American cities between …
Uncle Sam is to be Sacrificed”
The language of Anglophobia has been widely accepted as the coin of American politics throughout the nineteenth century. However, the grand narrative of Anglo-American rapprochement in the final quarter of the century has diverted attention away from the many forms and purposes bestowed upon Anglophobia. The discourse of Anglophobia fits hand in glove within debates regarding American nationality and citizenship. For this reason a variety of ethn…
