A Very Social History: South American Cricketing Tourists in Britain in 1932
Drawing on both the rich Anglophone cricket historiography and the new Latin American sports scholarship, this article maps out the entangled global networks that shaped the tour of Britain made in 1932 by a team of South American cricketers. The piece arguing that the social side of the tour – visits, dinners, introductions – was more important than the sporting side. As British influence in Latin America – often called ‘informal empire’ – decli…
Reflections on art, history and the Chilean estallido social: An essay about making history (unfinished)
This article reflects on a series of collaborations between artists in Chile, Maria Court and Trinidad Piriz, an interdisciplinary team of producers, and Matthew Brown, a UK historian of Latin America. We discuss the several manifestations of our collaboration over the four years of the estallido (social upheaval) and its aftermaths, reflecting on the different creative approaches we took and how they enabled us to tell previously inaccessible st…

Lilian Harrison: The making of a pioneering swimmer, 1904–1923
Lilian Harrison was a pioneering South American swimmer who established new records for open water distance swimming, and time spent swimming, in December 1923, as she became the first person to swim across the Rio de la Plata, from Uruguay to Argentina. Until now, her achievements have been remembered and studied as a South American history, from Harrison’s birth in Quilmes to her training in Tigre, to the tumultuous reception she received when …

History on the margins: Truths, struggles and the bureaucratic research economy in Colombia, 2016–2023
This essay reflects upon the challenges and the achievements of an exploration of the marginalized experiences of the armed conflict in Colombia. Our methods – interdisciplinary, rooted in an ethos of co-production and openness to a great plurality of ways of storytelling – have created a fuller and richer representation of the horrors of war and their consequences. The lessons we have learned through making it happen will have major policy and a…
The Uncomfortable SubjectSituating Cultural Relativism and Conservative Movements in Indonesia
sense of rejection toward other groups, whether based on ethnicity, religion, or any other identity markers, has always been a delicate matter for an anthropologist. Departing from the premise of cultural relativism, anthropologists are trained to empathize with their research subjects. However, similar empathy could not easily be exercised to research subjects whose conservative views contradict cultural relativism. The dilemma might explain why…

Cricket in the Country of Football: Sport and Social and Cultural Exclusion in Nineteenth-Century Brazil
The history of organised cricket in Brazil during the nineteenth century presents a compelling case study because of its development as an exclusionary social practice around British expatriate communities. In Brazil, cricket was played in many places well before Association Football became the national game. In contrast to cricket in formal British colonies in the West Indies, or English-speaking independent territories in North America, in Braz…
Translating the Rules of Football in South America, 1863-1914
This article explores the early history of Association Football in South America through the case study of the first translations of the rules of the game from English into Portuguese and Spanish. It demonstrates, by means of a comparison of the different temporalities and contexts of these documents, the connected and transnational nature of the sport. This has often been neglected in national paradigm studies of football pioneers and the first …
Football and Urban Expansion in São Paulo, Brazil, 1880-1920
Football is central to Brazilian society, its way of imagining itself and its position in the world. Existing accounts of the origins of football in Brazil in the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-centuries tend towards mono-causal explanations, highlighting the role of British pioneers and Brazilian enthusiasm for the game. This article argues for a multi-causal explanation, using a mixed methodology of archival research in Brazil and the UK,…

The global history of Latin America
This article explains why historians of Latin America have been disinclined to engage with global history, and how global history has yet to successfully integrate Latin America into its debates. It analyses research patterns and identifies instances of parallel developments in the two fields, which have operated until recently in relative isolation from one another, shrouded and disconnected. It outlines a framework for engagement between Latin …

Ancient Maya Regional Settlement and Inter-Site Analysis: The 2013 West-Central Belize LiDAR Survey
During April and May 2013, a total of 1057 km2 of LiDAR was flown by NCALM for a consortium of archaeologists working in West-central Belize, making this the largest surveyed area within the Mayan lowlands. Encompassing the Belize Valley and the Vaca Plateau, West-central Belize is one of the most actively researched parts of the Maya lowlands; however, until this effort, no comprehensive survey connecting all settlement had been conducted. Archa…
British informal empire and the origins of association football in South America
Most historical and sociological studies of association football in South America assume that the game was first played, and became popular, as a result of British informal empire in the region between 1830 and 1914. This article shows that historians of British informal empire in South America, in contrast, have never found evidence of such a link. It demonstrates that the conventional belief in a link between football and informal empire rests …
Genocide Films, Public Criminology, Collective Memory
One cannot understand or remember the genocides of the past in any direct manner. Their inaccessibility impedes us from working toward complex understandings of these events and adequate ways of responding to them. In this paper, we bring together various strands of criminological thought by examining genocide films as a form of public criminology that is engaged in the work of memory and commemoration. We identify a specific set of genocide film…
Adopting, Adapting, and Opting Out: State Response to Federal Voting System Guidelines
This article examines the state response to voluntary federal certification of electronic voluntary voting system guidelines (VVSGs) and current intergovernmental issues surrounding electronic voting systems across the country. Federal certification is not widespread, and most states have adapted modified methods of assuring system integrity or have opted out altogether. States that participate in VVSG have greater technological sophistication, h…
Strange associations: Elizabeth Bowen and the language of exclusion
Since The Last September was first published in 1929, the novel's style has been a major source of controversy amongst Elizabeth Bowen's critics, many of whom align the work with reactionary feeling among the Anglo-Irish community in early 1920s Ireland. This longstanding view ignores, I think, a complex but critically overlooked aspect not only of The Last September but also of Bowen's many opinions about the novel form: the author's fascination…

Background Non-communicable diseases are increasingly recognised as the major health issue facing many governments. Brazil has observed a rapid change in the weight profiles of its population, with the prevalence of obesity and overweight increasing partly as a result of the well documented effect of the nutrition transition. Obesity-related diseases are placing a substantial health and economic burden on the country. While the problem has been r…

Young People's Views of the Child Protection System in Scotland
Child protection investigations and the number of children on Child Protection Registers are high and constantly rising. In the UK, professionals are bound by legislation to uphold the rights of children and young people in matters that concern them and impact upon their lives. Previous research that examined young people's perceptions of the Child Protection System (CPS) has shown many areas of dissatisfaction. In this current Scottish study, el…
The Great Society and the High Tide of Liberalism
A critical appraisal of the Great Society is long overdue. The essays collected in The Great Society and the High Tide of Liberalism try to put the Great Society into perspective, seeing it as both an effort to complete the New Deal's unfinished business (adding Medicare and Medicaid to the welfare state) and as a political reform movement that transformed liberalism—but not always for the better. Lyndon B. Johnson's reputation undergoes some nec…
Fishing Booths and Fishing Strategies in Medieval Iceland: An Archaeofauna from the of Akurvík, North-West Iceland
Excavations in 1990 in North-West Iceland documented a stratified series of small turf structures and associated midden deposits at the eroding beach at Akurvík which date from the 11th–13th to the 15th–16th centuries AD. The site reflects a long series of small discontinuous occupations, probably associated with seasonal fishing. The shell sand matrix had allowed excellent organic preservation and an archaeofauna of over 100, 000 identifiable fr…

The effect of fluoridation on the dental health of urban Scottish Schoolchildren
A comparison was made of the dental health of children aged 4-5 and 9-10 in two Scottish towns, one with fluoridated drinking water and the other without. Striking differences were observed. A 44% reduction in decayed, missing, and filled deciduous teeth was found in 4-5 year-olds in the fluoridated compared with the non-fluoridated town and a 50% reduction in decayed, missing, and filled permanent teeth was recorded for the 9-10-year-olds.

Following a national campaign in Australia which had shown no change in level of knowledge about AIDS (using random samples of the population over 16 years, before and 5 months after the campaign), we assessed the change of attitudes towards, and beliefs about AIDS in the same samples. Results indicated that there were changes in beliefs about how much is known about the transmission of HIV, and that people were less concerned about casual transm…
