Changing Land
Most scholarship on nineteenth-century labor internationalism focuses on the efforts of labor and socialist leaders to create solidarities across national boundaries among an emerging new class of industrial workers, and the labor unions and political parties created to represent them, through organizations such as the First and Second Internationals. In this provocative and important book, however, Niall Whelehan emphasizes the significance of b…

The Irish Sinn Féin Movement and Radical Labor and Feminist Dissent in America, 1916–1921
The Irish Easter Rebellion of 1916 produced shockwaves in US labor and radical circles arguably as great as those that emanated from the Russian Revolution of 1917. Yet while Bolshevik agitation in the United States in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, along with its role in fostering a post – World War I “Red Scare,” has been carefully studied, the significance of the Irish Revolution for US labor and radical politics has received relativ…

Leon Fink. The Long Gilded Age
Anyone who has ever taught a college history course on the so-called Gilded Age and Progressive Era in the U.S. will likely empathize with Leon Fink’s efforts to recast the period from 1880 to 1920 as a “Long Gilded Age” in which continuity rather than discontinuity prevailed. The older title, suggests Fink, conjures an artificial image of a yawning chasm between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. On the nineteenth-century side, u…
The Panama Canal
U.S. foreign relations texts typically emphasize Theodore Roosevelt's “Bowery-boy” behavior in acquiring the Panama Canal Zone (or Canal Zone). After negotiations with Colombia stalled, Roosevelt supported and diplomatically recognized Panamanian revolutionaries who sought independence from Colombia so that his administration could quickly sign a treaty with the new state of Panama allowing for U.S. construction and sovereignty over a canal runni…
Integrating Labor into the Narrative of Wilsonian Internationalism
Among the most famous visual images to emerge from the World War I era is a photograph of Woodrow Wilson greeting throngs of well wishers in Dover, England, en route to the Versailles Peace Conference. Young girls in the photo wave American flags and toss flowers in the president's path as he leads a procession of world leaders through the crowded streets. On Wilson's shoulders, the photograph seems to imply, rested the aspirations of millions fo…

P acifist B rawn and S ilk‐ S tocking M ilitarism
Historians have recently devoted significant attention to exploring the ways in which gendered imagery and assumptions were used to mobilize popular support for U.S. foreign and military policies during World War I. Preparedness and government propagandists routinely conflated manliness with military service and attempted to discredit male opponents of war by casting aspersions on their masculinity. The female Red Cross worker was upheld as the i…
