Teaching Charles Alexander Eastman’s “The North American Indian” in Dialogue with Elaine Goodale Eastman’s Yellow Star
Charles Eastman’s “The North American Indian” address for the 1911 Universal Races Congress (URC) in London provides multiple pathways for teaching in a comparative context. One productive approach involves setting the lecture in dialogue with Elaine Goodale Eastman’s Yellow Star , published in the same year. Another entails asking students to situate Charles Eastman’s talk in the context of the URC as a vital milestone in global thought leaders’…
Elaine Goodale Eastman’s Yellow Star as Counter-Narrative for American Indian History-Telling
In 1911, Elaine Goodale Eastman, longtime editor of writing by her husband, Indigenous writer Charles Eastman (Ohiyesa), published Yellow Star , a narrative for white family audiences. Both the Eastmans’ already-troubled marriage and their parenting of mixed-race children illuminate the text, as does their history of linked authorial experiences. Anticipating twenty-first-century battles over competing historical narratives about Indigenous peopl…

Tom F. Wright's Transatlantic Rhetoric as an American Studies Teaching Resource
I first read Tom F. Wright's Transatlantic Rhetoric: Speeches from the American Revolution to the Suffragettes in late summer 2020, while drafting the syllabus for a new undergraduate rhetoric course in my university's Writing major. I proposed “Writing across Cultural Differences” several years ago and had been waiting eagerly to teach it, only to find myself delivering the inaugural version over Zoom during the coronavirus pandemic. As I write …

Teaching Transatlanticism
Seeing Mission Work through a Gendered Lens
Nellie Arnott, who served as a Congregational mission teacher in the highlands of Angola from 1905–1912, left a rich archival record of her personal experiences, including private diaries and publications for women’s mission magazines. Her writings trace her evolving attitude toward gender roles for missionaries and for Umbundu women whom she taught. Arnott provides a highly personalized and feminized glimpse into a changing central Angola, as Po…
Seeking Trust and Commitment in Women's Interracial Collaboration in the Nineteenth Century and Today
We do not need to become each other in order to work together. But we do need to recognize each other, our differences as well as the sameness of our goals. —Audre Lorde (“Commencement” 216) We were drawn to this special issue of MELUS in part by research we each do on nineteenth-century interracial collaborations, but of equal interest was the opportunity to examine our own experiences with interracial collaboration. Having crafted this essay, w…
Excerpts from Bridging Cultures
This is a pair of excerpts from the anthology Bridging Cultures: International Women Faculty Transforming the US Academy. The book is composed of a series of memoirs by foreign-born women scholars working in various disciplines, in which they reflect on their personal experiences as foreigners in US academia. The introduction by Federica Santini, Sabine H. Smith, and Sarah R. Robbins underlines the crucially feminist nature of “standpoint epistem…
Writing on Multiple Journeys
In their beautifully researched study and critical edition, Nellie Arnott’s Writings on Angola, 1905–1913: Missionary Narratives Linking Africa and America (Parlor Press), authors Sarah Robbins and Ann Ellis Pullen examine in fine detail the historical record of the transnational network of literary work produced by Arnott. Tracing her legacy in the study’s third chapter, “Writing on Multiple Journeys,” the authors argue on behalf of Arnott’s cap…

Vietnam in First Person
Although the essays in this issue provide excellent background information about the Vietnam War, teachers and students may feel challenged to delve deeper into the ways in which ordinary men and women experienced the war. Private photographs, miscellaneous artifacts from the war, and oral histories will complement the films, documentaries, and books mentioned throughout this issue. This article will highlight one particularly good source of such…

he favored class of society," wrote Catharine Maria Sedgwick in 1848, "owe an immense debt to Providence, which can only be discharged by attempting to rescue the vicious and ignorant from misery and degradation." Casting herself as a patrician with benevolent obligations, Sedgwick provides a key not only to her intentions for much of her work at mid-career but also to the shortage of scholarship on these didactic texts of the 1830s and 1840s.

Keeping Things Cool
What would we do without air-conditioning? It has become such an important part of every summer that most of us do not give it a second thought—that is, until the power goes out in the middle of August. In summer 2002, OAH's weekly radio program Talking History celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of the first industrial air-conditioner. Talking History's Fred Nielson interviewed Marsha Ackerman, author of Cool Comfort: America's Romance With…

Gendering the History of the Antislavery Narrative: Juxtaposing Uncle Tom's Cabin and Benito Cereno, Beloved and Middle Passage Sarah Robbins (bio) Studies of the numerous contemporary African American novels about nineteenth-century slavery have sometimes argued for interpreting those texts as postcolonial efforts to revise race history through re-formation of traditional historiography.

Gendered Literacy in Black and White
At the turn of the century women across the United States had organized themselves into a variety of single-sex groups to effect social change. Yet most of the shared spaces of agency that women seemed to control were shaped-often, in fact, constrained-by forces beyond them, so that what looked like women-led initiatives functioned in a context where female agency was highly contested. The women's club movement created one such complex social spa…
