Love and Death in the Great War
Book Review: Love and Death in the Great War by David Peterson del Mar 2019. The Journal of American History
New Wine in Old Wineskins
This review article examines historical surveys of Ghana’s past published since the country’s independence in 1957. The young nation’s historians, particularly A. A. Boahen, wrote accounts that foregrounded African rather than European actors and criticized the impact of European colonialism, though they retained the focus on political elites of earlier works. Historical surveys written since the late 1990s have been more conservative or cautious…

New and Improved
This is a well-written and interesting book whose many virtues are only partially obscured by a confusing interpretive framework. John C. Spurlock and Cynthia A. Magistro are concerned with the relationship between “emotionology and emotional experience” for well-educated young women of the early twentieth century. This reviewer finds “emotionology” a clunky, imprecise term that the historical profession, let alone the general reader, could well …
