Polygamy: An Early American History
Sarah M. S. Pearsall brilliantly succeeds in showing that polygamy—the practice of marrying more than one spouse—was tolerated, overlooked, fought over, and, by the middle of the nineteenth century, universally condemned as a threat to monogamy and the American nation. Pearsall paints on a large geographic and chronological canvas, from many locales in North America to brief excursions into Britain, the European mainland, and West Africa and over…
Slavery in Puritan New England
Wendy Warren's deeply researched New England Bound: Slavery and Colonization in Early America depends on investigation of handwritten texts rather than the several new databases about slavery and the slave trade. Warren has tracked down references in the extant literature and added research in unpublished court cases, wills, probate inventories, and private papers in New England as well in London. With her ability to convert a line or two in a co…
Seeking Female Sexual Emancipation and the Writing of Women's History
One of Louise Tilly's most widely cited articles was “Women's Work and European Fertility Patterns” (1976), coauthored with Joan Scott and Miriam Cohen. The subject of the article was a major increase in female illegitimacy at the time of the Industrial Revolution, which Tilly regarded as an instance of female vulnerability caused by isolation and urban migration. Surveys of recent writings by American and British historians about this subject su…

Brides, Inc: American Weddings and the Business of Tradition
Vicki Howard spent two years at the archives of the Smithsonian Institution and another two years at the Hagley Museum and Library researching how American businesses and advertisers helped create a more efficient, standardized, and affluent product: the lavish wedding. She traces the development of the industry in the United States from the 1920s through the 1990s in three key phases: the creation of a national market in the 1930s; the developme…
Kwanzaa: The Making of a Black Nationalist Tradition, 1966–1990
Kwanzaa, a 7-day festival beginning on December 26, was created in 1966, and is one of the most lasting innovations of U.S. Black nationalism of the 1960s. Although it is becoming more popular in Canada, the Caribbean, and elsewhere, Kwanzaa is still chiefly celebrated in the United States. Designed to resemble the ritual at an African harvest festival, Kwanzaa consists of a number of activities, including feasting, lighting candles, recitations,…

American efforts to prevent or punish family violence began in New England in the 1640s with the passage of the first laws against family violence. Interest in criminalizing family violence since then has been episodic. There have been periods of American history that included reforms against family violence, including significant efforts to criminalize it; there have been other periods of decriminalization of family violence, and still others wh…
