Migrant Longing
Miroslava Chávez-García’s book rests upon what the author refers to as “an archive of intimacy”—over three hundred personal letters written by Mexican migrants from both sides of the border during the 1960s and early 1970s. The letters reveal “the creative coping mechanisms and cultural resources” that migrants drew on not only to improve their lives, “but also to cultivate and nurture” cross-border relationships (pp. 1, 5). A number of the lette…
Ireland
The period 1848 to 1867 witnessed what could be regarded as a very small-scale insurgency campaign in Ireland, waged by agrarian groups; the Whiteboys and Ribbonmen. 1848 and 1867 witnessed rebellions by the Young Irelanders and Fenians, which proved to be small-scale and of short duration but the British government had prepared for a nationwide counter-insurgency campaign. The government relied heavily on the militarised Irish Constabulary but i…

Contested Empire
In March 2013 a group of scholars gathered for the annual Walter Prescott Webb Memorial Lecture series at the University of Texas at Arlington. The five talks from that conference have now been published as Contested Empire, offering some of the most insightful scholarly interrogations of the Texas Revolution of 1835–1836 seen within the last generation of Texas history scholarship. The essays in this volume use a transnational approach to unders…

Students and faculty have always interacted informally, on campus and off. Social networking sites (SNSs), like Facebook, introduce another space in which they interact, contributing to a blurring of boundaries between professional and personal personas. Communications on SNSs may be seen as simply an extension of on- and off-campus lives, and hence fall under the same policies governing institutional codes of conduct. The medium however, allowin…
Ireland and the First World War
The First World War had profound consequences for the development of modern Ireland. The outbreak of war in August 1914 served to diffuse the Home Rule crisis and prevented a civil war between Unionists and Nationalists in Ulster. John Redmond’s support for the British war effort undoubtedly played a major role in the decline of the Irish Parliamentary Party. In economic and social terms there was massive dislocation as 210 000 Irishmen served in…
The Irish regiments in the Great War
The British army was almost unique among the European armies of the Great War in that it did not suffer from a serious breakdown of discipline or collapse of morale. It did, however, inevitably suffer from disciplinary problems. While attention has hitherto focused on the 312 notorious 'shot at dawn' cases, many thousands of British soldiers were tried by court martial during the Great War. This book provides a comprehensive study of discipline a…
The Edwardian Army
The period 1902-1914 was one of great change for the British army. As a result of a series of investigations and government-led reorganisation, the army embarked on a series of reforms to improve its recruitment, standards of professionalism, training and preparation for war
Officering Kitchener's Armies
This article reassesses the original composition of the officer corps of the Kitchener armies formed in late 1914 using the recently released officers' personal files at the National Archives, Kew. It challenges the existing historiography by showing that many Kitchener units did not draw their officers from pre-war Officer Training Corps products and relied on men with very limited or no previous military experience. It demonstrates that the off…
Carson's Army the Ulster Volunteer Force, 1910 - 22
The Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) was established in January 1913 as a militant expression of Ulster Unionist opposition to the Third Home Rule Bill. It built on the foundations of pre-existing paramilitary activity and, at its height in early 1914, reached a strength of 100,000. During the Great War the UVF provided the basis of the 36th (Ulster) Division and in 1920 the force was partially reformed to counter the IRA threat to the new Northern I…

The Ulster Volunteer Force and the formation of the 36th (Ulster) Division
Traditional accounts of the establishment of the 36th (Ulster) Division in October 1914 suggest that this unit was formed purely from the pre-war U.V.F. Writing in 1922, Cyril Falls (himself an officer in both the U.V.F. and the 36th Division) declared: The Ulster Division was not created in a day. The roots from which it sprang went back into the troubled period before the war. Its life was a continuance of the life of an earlier legion, a legio…
