Happy objects and cruel optimism in Carson McCullers’ story ‘Correspondence’
This article discusses American author Carson McCullers’ 1942 short story titled ‘Correspondence’, in order to consider how the unique form of the epistolary short story amplifies themes of alienation and absence. Drawing upon contemporary affect theory as well as a close reading of the story, I consider how the letters in the text can be understood as what Sara Ahmed describes as ‘happy objects’, as well as how the process of letter writing beco…
Estimated Maternal Pesticide Exposure from Drinking Water and Heart Defects in Offspring
Our objective was to examine the relationship between estimated maternal exposure to pesticides in public drinking water and the risk of congenital heart defects (CHD). We used mixed-effects logistic regression to analyze data from 18,291 nonsyndromic cases with heart defects from the Texas Birth Defects Registry and 4414 randomly-selected controls delivered in Texas from 1999 through 2005. Water district-level pesticide exposure was estimated by…
Visual Culture and Gender
Though visual culture is present in numerous aspects of contemporary culture, feminist and gender theorists are especially interested in how visual culture represents, constructs, and perpetuates gender roles and stereotypes. Privileging vision over the other senses is often described as ocularcentrism, and understanding the scope and breadth of ocularcentrism within the world is important in exploring why feminists and other theorists consider c…
A most horrifying maturity in crime”
This article examines the difficulties encountered by British colonial officials when attempting to determine the legal age of juvenile offenders in Kenya during the Mau Mau Uprising (1952–1963). It identifies a main contradiction in the management of juvenile delinquents. In a trans-imperial project of reform, colonial governments across the British Atlantic and Indian Ocean Worlds created or expanded legislation with specific age limits. The pr…

History on Television
In recent years non-fiction history programmes have flourished on television. This interdisciplinary study of history programming identifies and examines different genres employed by producers and tracks their commissioning, production, marketing and distribution histories. With comparative references to other European nations and North America, the authors focus on British history programming over the last two decades and analyse the relationshi…
The Early Quakers, the Peace Testimony and Masculinity in England, 1660-1720
As Karen Harvey and Alexandra Shepard have asserted, most research into the history of masculinity has concentrated on dominant groups, while more work is needed on the range of codes of behaviour available to other men. Arguably, no aspect of seventeenth-century Quaker behaviour ran more contrary to dominant norms than the insistence on pacifism and rejection of violence. This article considers Friends’ pacifism and its relation to masculinity, …

Rough Crossings and Congo
As scholars charting representations of the 1807 abolition of the transatlantic slave trade in the UK have noted, its portrayal on British radio and television was minimal until the recent bicentenary commemorations (Wilson 2007: 391). This article focuses on two examples from the BBC’s 2007 ‘Abolition Season’: Congo: White King,Red Rubber, Black Death, written and directed by Peter Bate, which first aired in February 2004, and Simon Schama’s Rou…

Eighteenth-Century Quakerism and the Rehabilitation of James Nayler, Seventeenth-Century Radical
Although the first Quakers aligned history with superfluous tradition, detrimental to true appreciation of the inward voice of God, by the early eighteenth century they had produced their first histories as a defence against Anglican allegations of continued disorder and enthusiasm. At the same time, pressure to publish the collected works of James Nayler, a convicted blasphemer, proved particularly contentious. Leo Damrosch has sought to underst…
History on television
What appears on screen as `TV history' is limited by a number of possible factors; technological, financial and cultural. This article considers some of these limitations, as little is known about the processes whereby representations of the past are mediated, shaped and transformed through television. This raises pertinent questions about the construction, distribution and marketing of narratives about national and other pasts. Using oral histor…

Racial Disparity in Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy in New York State
Objectives. We studied trends of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy by residential socioeconomic status (SES) and racial/ethnic subgroups in New York State over a 10-year period. Methods. We merged New York State discharge data for 2.5 million women hospitalized with delivery from 1993 through 2002 with 2000 US Census data. Results. Rates of diagnoses for all hypertensive disorders combined and for preeclampsia individually were highest among Bl…
