The Voluntary Way is the American Way: The AMA’s Campaign for Private Health Insurance, 1945–1950
This article examines the influence of the American Medical Association’s (AMA) campaign against national health insurance between 1945 and 1950. Although previous research has focused on the AMA’s professional influence and its opposition to national health care proposals, I argue that the AMA’s efforts played an essential role in the widespread adoption of private health insurance in the postwar era. Managed by the political consulting firm Whi…
Soldiers of a forgotten empire: American memory and the battle for Filipino veterans’ benefits
More than a quarter million Filipino soldiers fought under American command during the Second World War, but the US Congress declared in 1946 that the vast majority would be ineligible to receive benefits under the GI Bill, a landmark piece of social legislation that provided financial and educational assistance to most veterans of the war. This article examines the contested politics of denying these benefits to veterans of the Philippine Common…
The Value of Hawaiʻi 3: Hulihia, the Turning
“Hulihia” refers to massive upheavals that change the landscape, overturn the normal, reverse the flow, and sweep away the prevailing or assumed. We live in such days. Pandemics. Threats to ʻāina. Political dysfunction, cultural appropriation, and disrespect. But also powerful surges toward sustainability, autonomy, and sovereignty. The first two volumes of The Value of Hawaiʻi ( Knowing the Past, Facing the Future and Ancestral Roots, Oceanic Vi…
R osemary S tevens . A Time of Scandal: Charles R. Forbes, Warren G. Harding, and the Making of the Veterans Bureau
The Veterans Bureau—the precursor to today’s U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs—was the site of one of America’s most notorious corruption scandals. As the story goes, the bureau’s first director, Colonel Charles R. Forbes, was part of the infamous Ohio Gang, whose members took advantage of President Warren G. Harding’s trust and good nature to enrich themselves. When he wasn’t playing poker or drinking whiskey, Forbes and his cronies were busy …
American Imperialism and the State, 1893–1921
How did the acquisition of overseas colonies affect the development of the American state? How did the constitutional system shape the expansion and governance of American empire? American Imperialism and the State offers a new perspective on these questions by recasting American imperial governance as an episode of state building. Colin D. Moore argues that the empire was decisively shaped by the efforts of colonial state officials to achieve gr…

Innovation without Reputation: How Bureaucrats Saved the Veterans’ Health Care System
The Veterans Health Administration (VA) is among the most unusual and misunderstood institutions in the American welfare state. Unlike most American social services, veterans’ medical care continues to be administered directly by the state, contrary to the “antibureaucratic strategy” of “hidden” or “submerged” state-building that has dominated US social policy for decades. Drawing on extensive archival research, I attempt to make sense of the VA’…
When Canvassers Became Activists: Antislavery Petitioning and the Political Mobilization of American Women
Examining an original dataset of more than 8,500 antislavery petitions sent to Congress (1833-1845), we argue that American women's petition canvassing conferred skills and contacts that empowered their later activism. We find that women canvassers gathered 50% or more signatures (absolute and per capita) than men while circulating the same petition requests in the same locales. Supplementary evidence (mainly qualitative) points to women's persua…
State Building Through Partnership: Delegation, Public-Private Partnerships, and the Political Development of American Imperialism, 1898–1916
In the first decades of the twentieth century, the United States transformed itself from a commercial republic into a major international actor and acquired its first overseas colonies and dependencies. This article investigates the role of public-private partnerships between American state officials and American financiers in the management and expansion of American empire. Confronted with tepid support from Congress for further imperial expansi…
