Douglas A. Guerra. Slantwise Moves
Douglas A. Guerra is good at asking unusual questions and looking for answers in unexpected places. The strength of Slantwise Moves lies in its discussion of several of the games that were played in mid-nineteenth century America. Guerra is keenly attentive to the mechanics of game play and meditates on what these tell us about minds and manners. Game design, like architecture, clothing, or etiquette, reflects values and thought patterns. Guerra …
I Didn’t Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier’
What can popular song tell us about American attitudes to the First World War? One of the hit songs of 1915, Al Piantadosi and Alfred Bryan’s ‘I Didn’t Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier’, appears to support the idea that the American public was in a pacifist mood prior to 1917. But the success of the song provides misleading evidence of public sentiments. Far from opposing war, the entertainment business between 1914 and 1917 can be said to have prepa…
Timothy R. White. Blue-Collar Broadway
Broadway is at once a place, an amusement, and a commodity. In the twentieth century, the aura of Broadway added value to the commodity (the theater), not just as a location, but also as a materialization of labor. As Timothy R. White shows, the backstage work of the people who made the costumes and sets and operated the electrical systems provided the tangible labor that crafted Broadway’s glitter. This is a fine illustration of the spatial appr…
Ellen Noonan. The Strange Career of Porgy and Bess
From its premiere in 1935 to the recent Diane Paulus production, George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess has challenged its critics' conceptual categories. For musical columnist and composer Virgil Thomson, it was a “grand opera,” albeit a uniquely American one; for others, it was a “folk opera” (meaning a work relying on traditional musical forms and somehow distinguished from “art music”); for still more it was a work of musical theater. Gershwin did …

Internationalism, Regionalism, and National Culture
For many Germans in the immediate postwar period, all that remained of their country was its art. Subjugation, destruction, the pain of unfathomable guilt: these had ripped away at the national psyche, severing nation from nationalism, person from people, the present from the past. “We are,” wrote Wolfgang Borchert in 1946, “a generation without a homecoming, because we have nothing to which we can return.” Nation: what would that word now mean? …

The End of Agrarianism
THIS PAPER DEALS with an attempt by the farmers of Alberta and Saskatchewan to have the economy regulated to their advantage. Through parity, the farmers hoped to have the prices of the goods they bought controlled by the values of those they had to sell. The agitation in favour of parity prices lasted ten years, and it culminated in a massive 30-day farm strike in autumn 1946. At the heart of the whole matter was the issue of agrarian survival. …
