The Manager’s Children: Family Space and a Private Life in the Nineteenth-Century Asylum
Wants more capital than labour’: Visiting the Harmony Hall site from 1839–2022
Visiting, or observing a site in its surrounding environment, is a key point of archaeological and heritage assessment and research. This paper examines historic and contemporary site visits to Robert Owen’s 1830s agricultural community at Harmony Hall. The site was described in letters, in articles, and in visual culture throughout the nineteenth century, after which the site became overgrown. The site itself is telling of some of the reasons be…
Social Welfare Institutions
The rise of industrialization was accompanied by a new institutional management regime for the sick, criminal, and unproductive. From the late eighteenth century onwards, an increasingly diverse array of social welfare institutions were established to confine, treat, and relocate those deemed vulnerable or dangerous to civic society. Drawing from European and North American case studies, this chapter outlines the proliferation of monumental archi…
Archaeology, Emotional Storytelling, and Performance
Archaeologists tell stories about the past through the interpretation of material remains, frequently an emotional pursuit. Even so, the profession is often represented simplistically, dispassionately, or problematically, according to perspectives on practice that have little to do with the actuality. The South Korean stage musical Return: The Promise of the Day is an example of how the representation of archaeology and archaeological fieldwork s…
Mapping Poverty in Gotham: Visualizing New York City’s Almshouse Ledgers from 1822 to 1835
This paper maps and spatializes the Almshouse Ledger records for the children of unmarried parents in New York City in the 1820 and 1830s. Mapping the distribution of poverty and the provision of forms of welfare in the city, this paper illustrates specific areas of the city which were attracting the very poor as early as the second decade of the nineteenth century. This paper argues that migrants from countries with similar welfare systems to th…

The institution and the city: The impact of hospitals and workhouses on the development of Dublin's north inner city, c . 1773–1911
Cities develop around industry, markets and transport links. Dublin in the nineteenth century was similar, but additionally the north-west of the city developed around the expansion of a complex of institutional buildings for the reception, confinement and welfare of the poor and sick. This article argues that these institutions were implicit in the development of the modern city in the same way as industry and commerce. The physical development …
Materiality and the urban: Recent theses in archaeology and material culture and their importance for the study of urban history
Half a century on from Ivor Noel Hume's reference to archaeology as the ‘handmaiden to history’, historical-period archaeology has come quite a way. From disparate origins, in anthropological approaches to material and rescue archaeology in North America, and industrial and buildings archaeology in Britain and Europe, the sub-discipline has coalesced into a structured approach to the recent past. Hume's comment is often misinterpreted as a critiq…
Victims of Ireland’s Great Famine: The Bioarchaeology of Mass Burials at Kilkenny Union Workhouse
In the last 20 years, power, control and resistance have emerged as popular themes in archaeological approaches to the modern period. Institutions like workhouses and industrial complexes have been well studied through a Marxist-inspired lens, and archaeologists have written about power relationships and hierarchies, domination and resistance and subaltern narratives. Jonny Geber’s bioarchaeology of the Irish Famine and Sarah Cowie’s intensive st…
Poverty and Illness in the ‘Old Countries’: Archaeological Approaches to Historical Medical Institutions in the British Isles
Ghosts of Sorrow, Sin and Crime: Dark Tourism and Convict Heritage in Van Diemen’s Land, Australia
Established as a British imperial penal colony, Van Diemen’s Land received approximately 75,000 convicts before cessation of convict transportation in 1853. A vast network of penal stations and institutions were created to accommodate, employ, administer, and discipline these exiled felons. Popular interpretations of Australia’s convict past highlight dynamics of shame, avoidance and active obliteration that characterized Australia’s relationship…

The US Congressional Immigration Agenda: Partisan Politics, Policy Stalemate and Political Posturing
In this paper, we examine patterns of congressional action and inaction on immigration issues in the USA over the past two decades, with attention to the impact of partisan polarisation and examples of the effects of public opinion on members' votes and the immigration agenda itself. Our analysis covers 391 immigration policy votes between 1993 and 2012. Analysing 10 Congresses allows us to test hypotheses about the effects of partisan polarisati…
Out of sound, out of mind: Noise control in early nineteenth-century lunatic asylums in England and Ireland
This article examines the rhetoric and design principles invested in public lunatic asylum architecture in the early nineteenth century. Using case studies from England and Ireland, this article will focus on the creation of a sensory environment conducive to the reform of these institutions, and how this was applied - intentionally or otherwise - in the built environment. Objections to door locks and the noise made by footsteps testify to the we…
Nationalism and Support for Immigrants' Rights Among Adolescents in 25 Countries
Adolescents' attitudes toward immigrants develop in tandem with their sense of national identity. In this article we identify factors that influence restrictive views of nationalism and opposition or support for immigrants' rights during young people's formative years, among the generation that comprises today's young adults. Data were analyzed from 77,000 native-born 14-year-olds from 25 countries surveyed in the IEA Civic Education Study of 199…
American Attitudes toward Guest Worker Policies
In this study we use data from a 2004 New York Times/CBS News national survey to analyze public opinion toward a guest worker program and to compare predictors of support for guest worker and general immigration policies. In general, Americans tend to be divided in their attitudes toward a guest worker program, although support for temporary worker policies is stronger when legalization for unauthorized immigrants is conditioned on certain requir…
Rural Residence as a Determinant of Attitudes Toward US Immigration Policy
Between 1990 and 2000, the foreign‐born population in the United States increased by 57 per cent, compared to a 13 per cent increase in the native‐born population. This growth has fueled considerable media attention and has fomented some anti‐immigrant sentiments. Although a number of authors have charted changes in support for restrictionist immigration policies, few have examined their determinants. In this paper, we focus on region of residenc…
A Comparison of the Integration Experiences of Two African Immigrant Populations in a Rural Community
Most U.S. migration research compares very distinct groups, such as Mexicans and Asians, and virtually ignores the small, but growing number of African immigrants. In contrast, this study describes and compares the integration experiences of two Black, East African refugee populations in a small town in the Midwestern United States. We demonstrate that Muslim Somalis and Christians from southern Sudan encounter similar structural obstacles to soc…
English Language Proficiency of Immigrants and Refugees in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area
Studies of the determinants of English language ability have generally focused on the largest immigrant groups in the United States. Much less is known about smaller, but significant regional concentrations of immigrants and refugees. This article presents data on four very distinct and understudied groups: Russians, Somalis, Hmong, and Mexicans in the Midwest. We found large differences in English language proficiency across the different nation…

The Cross-Cultural Study of Fertility among Hispanic Adolescents in the Americas
This paper examines various definitions of marriage in order to compare the nonmarital fertility of Hispanic adolescents in the Americas. The data include distributions of legal marriages and consensual unions among adolescents in Latin America, proportions of Latin American adolescents who have borne a child by categories of marriage and consensual unions, marital distributions among Hispanic adolescents in the United States, and fertility by ma…
