Melani McAlister. The Kingdom of God Has No Borders: A Global History of American Evangelicals
The role of American missionaries during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries has been widely studied, but far less attention has been given to the modern American “evangelical” missionary movements abroad since the 1950s. As Melani McAlister shows in The Kingdom of God Has No Borders: A Global History of American Evangelicals, the context is very different. Gone was the hegemony of the European empires, leaving missionaries needing to ne…
Holy Humanitarians: American Evangelicals and Global Aid. Curtis, Heather D
Heather Curtis documents American evangelical efforts to organize international humanitarian aid abroad from 1892 to 1910. Louis Klopsch, a convicted felon and born-again Christian published the Christian Herald, along with his editor and ally, the flamboyant, newsworthy Rev. Thomas DeWitt Talmage, one of the most successful preachers of his age. The paper became a remarkable generator of and conduit for aid abroad. The editors mobilized Christia…
Historical Writing in the United States
This chapter studies American historical writing. In the United States, the legacy of the Progressive historians advocating a pragmatic study of the past in the interests of social and political usefulness was a powerful influence that continued to be evident after the Second World War. This Progressive agenda had flow-on effects that shaped other characteristics of American scholarship. One was recurrent but often misleading debates over conflic…
Cattle Colonialism: An environmental history of the conquest of California and Hawaiʻi
Cattle Colonialism opens with an interesting vignette. It concerns the surprising and little-known achievements on the mainland USA of Californian-influenced Hawaiian cowboys known as ‘paniolo’. Th
It's Moments like these you need Malthusianism
While many teachers of American history know full well that Paul Ehrlich’s Population Bomb (1968) was an important intervention in environmental debates in the 1960s, population issues typically take a back seat in the story of the modern environmental movement’s rise and significance, and play little part in histories of foreign policy either. Thomas Robertson seeks to correct this double lacuna. Tracing the trajectory of concern within the Unit…
A World of Nations
Frank Ninkovich is a highly productive senior scholar whose work has increasingly focused on large-scale trends in U.S. foreign relations. In The Global Republic he has written a feisty and sweeping reinterpretation of his subject. To Ninkovich, U.S. foreign policy is not a product of exceptionalist attitudes exported to “the world” but is grounded in the American encounter with globalization. While the early agrarian republic had an inward-looki…
The Shock of America: Europe and the Challenge of the Century * The Transatlantic Century: Europe and America, 1890-2010
The American Republic and Europe have always had entangled transatlantic histories despite putative isolationism under the injunctions of George Washington. No aspect of comparative or transnational history has been more exhaustively studied in the English-speaking world. These two books draw upon such work to synthesize the relationship from the turn of the twentieth century to the present. Both deal with the unevenness of the transatlantic conn…

Reflections on the transnational turn in United States history: Theory and practice
This article situates the idea of ‘transnational history’ within the recent historiography of the United States, as both a reaction against and accommodation to the nation-state focus of that historiography. It explains transnational history's specific American development as a broad project of research to contextualize US history and decentre the nation; it explores the conditions of American historical practice that influenced the genesis and g…

The article compares attitudes towards and laws regulating the use of alcohol and opium in the United States (US) colonial possession of the Philippines. Forces within the United States and missionary groups in the field in the Philippines fought to have the supply of alcohol to American troops restricted by abolition of the military canteen system, and to eliminate use of alcohol among the indigenous population. To achieve these aims, they devel…

Historians in Public: The Practice of American History, 1890-1970
From lagging book sales and shrinking job prospects to concerns over the discipline's narrowness, myriad factors have been cited by historians as evidence that their profession is in decline in America. Ian Tyrrell's Historians in Public shows that this perceived threat to history is recurrent, exaggerated, and often misunderstood. In fact, history has adapted to and influenced the American public more than people - and often historians - realize…

Editorial Note: On the centennial of the Organization of American Historians, Ian Tyrrell reflects on its regional origins and the public mission they fostered. “Our Roots Flourished in the Valley,” stated former Organization of American Historians (oah) executive secretary Thomas D. Clark in his 1978 memoir of the days when the oah was the Mississippi Valley Historical Association (mvha).1 The mvha did indeed incarnate the regional origins of wh…

This article explores the global dimensions of the thought of George Perkins Marsh and his Man and Nature (1864). It argues that Marsh was not simply influenced by American versus European contrasts in environmental change, nor was his work based only on conservation ideas, being influenced also by the examples of acclimatisation movements within the British empire settlement colonies. He incorporated material on acclimatisation from Australia in…

Before the Surgeon‐General’s Report: Public Discourse in Australia Over Tobacco Addiction to 1964
Long before the contemporary debate over nicotine addiction, doctors, alternative health professionals, journalists and moral reformers in Australia discussed this issue in the media. It was assumed that tobacco was a powerful drug, and difficult to give up. The use of the term "addict" increased over time. The 1964 U.S. Surgeon‐General’s Report claim that tobacco smoking was merely a "habit" temporarily inhibited public discussion of addiction. …
