Forum: 1776. Views from the British World. The Declaration of Independence through Jewish Eyes: The American Revolution as a Site for Self-Making
Timed to coincide with the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence that launched a revolution that created the United States of America, this series of articles complicates traditional narratives of this transformative event by situating it in a larger British world context. On 28 July 1776, the German-born Philadelphia merchant Jonas Phillips enclosed a printed copy of the Declaration of Independence with a letter…

Julia Moses. The First Modern Risk: Workplace Accidents and the Origins of European Social States
In The First Modern Risk: Workplace Accidents and the Origins of European Social States, which focuses on Great Britain, Germany, and Italy from the mid-nineteenth century onward, Julia Moses argues that modern European states and their policies to compensate injured workers were mutually constitutive. As European nations industrialized, it became clear that industrialization’s externalities were not evenly distributed; the notion, however, that …
Marc W. Steinberg. England’s Great Transformation: Law, Labor, and the Industrial Revolution
In England’s Great Transformation: Law, Labor, and the Industrial Revolution, Marc W. Steinberg blends historical materialism with historical institutionalism, documenting employers’ use of the Master and Servant Acts to enforce work-discipline in the nineteenth century. Using detailed case studies of three cities—Hanley and the pottery industry, Hull and the fishing trade in the Northeast, and Redditch and commercial agriculture and needle manuf…
Thomas Slingsby Duncombe, the ‘Member for All England’: Representing the Non-voter in the Chartist Decade
Building on new interest in the Chartists’ attempts to elect their own representatives to Parliament, this essay analyses the methods and strategies through which a Member of Parliament might adopt, and virtually represent, a non-voter constituency. While in many ways Thomas Slingsby Duncombe fits the mould of the gentleman leader in popular politics, unlike many other MPs whose careers briefly intersected with the agendas of the Chartists and ot…

Sowing Discontent
In 1921 New Mexicans approved a constitutional amendment that prohibited “aliens ineligible for citizenship” from owning land in the state. Reflecting the post-World War I nationalistic fervor and its racialization of “Americanism,” the amendment targeted the state’s tiny Japanese population, partly under pressure from institutions like the Farm Bureau, the American Legion, and even the Ku Klux Klan. While some Hispanos (or Nuevomexicanos) benefi…
Regulating health and safety in the British mining industries, 1800-1914 - By Catherine Mills: Book Reviews
Objecting to the Genetic Virtue Program: Premises, tradeoffs, and science
The Enlightenment bequeathed to us the notion that the human mind can and should dominate over nature—that there is nothing we cannot know or should not attempt. And, in fact, there is something to be said for this position, since a truthful historian has to admit that standards of living have generally been greatly bettered by the technology of the last two centuries. Without confidence in our ability to remake nature, the great medical advances…
