Effectiveness of interventions to prevent drowning among children under age 20 years: A global scoping review
Background: Drowning is a leading cause of death among young children. The United Nations Resolution on global drowning prevention (2021) and World Health Assembly Resolution in 2023 have drawn attention to the issue. This scoping review synthesizes the current evidence on the effectiveness of child drowning prevention interventions since the 2008 World Report on Child Injury Prevention and implications for their implementation. Methods: Quantita…
Vera Salomons and the Kotel: Reading international Jewish history through a Jewish country house
Vera Bryce Salomons is best known as the founder of the L. A. Mayer Museum of Islamic Art in Jerusalem. Drawing on a privately published obituary volume, this article explores her involvement in attempts to buy Waqf property adjacent to the Kotel in the 1920s. The article brings to light a forgotten story with implications for our understanding of the role of British elites in Mandate Palestine. It demonstrates how private archives and unconventi…
L'histoire globale de l'Europe à l'aune de la religion
L'histoire globale de l'Europe à l'aune de la religionL'histoire européenne en tant que champ a été construite autour d'une idée de l'Europe - de ses frontières, de ses valeurs, de sa civilisation et de ses nationalités - structurée par le christianisme et ses héritages séculiers. Plutôt que de chercher à globaliser l'histoire de l'Europe en considérant l'influence de la chrétienté sur d'autres parties du monde, et vice versa, cet article remet e…
Jews, Liberalism, Antisemitism: A Global History
Anna Ross. Beyond the Barricades: Government and State-Building in Post-Revolutionary Prussia, 1848–1858
Histories of nineteenth-century Prussia have conventionally been structured by a series of well-established turning points: 1806 and the ensuing Reform Era; 1848 and the upheavals that followed; 1859 and the revival of political life with the so-called New Era; and the 1866–1871 unification of Germany, in which Prussia (and Bismarck) assumed the leading role. By contrast, in Beyond the Barricades: Government and State-Building in Post-Revolutiona…

Internationalisms: A Twentieth-Century History
The Modernity of Others: Jewish Anti-Catholicism in Germany and France, by Ari JoskowiczSecularism and Religion in Nineteenth-Century Germany: The Rise of the Fourth Confession, by Todd H. Weir
The death of the secularisation thesis and the re-emergence of religious conflict as a central political preoccupation in our contemporary world has, paradoxically, prompted historians of the long nineteenth century to re-engage with the problem of secularism. In this sense, both Ari Joskowicz’s insightful new study of Jewish anti-catholicism and Todd Weir’s wonderful re-evaluation of German secularist culture start from similar premises, althoug…

The Limits of Intervention: Coercive Diplomacy and the Jewish Question in the Nineteenth Century
This paper argues that exploring diplomatic responses to the Jewish question casts new light on the purpose of humanitarian intervention within the international system during the nineteenth century. It contrasts international responses to the question of Jewish minority rights in Morocco and Romania during the 1860s and 1870s, with particular reference to the Congress of Berlin (1878) and the Conference of Madrid (1880). The former resulted in a…
Spirituality, Tradition and Gender: Judith Montefiore, the Very Model of a Modern Jewish Woman
Judith Montefiore's life has attracted attention principally by association with that of her husband Sir Moses Montefiore (1784–1885), the pre-eminent Jewish figure of his age. This article emphasises instead Judith's pioneering role as a Jewish woman travel-writer and influential female voice in the world of Jewish letters and international Jewish politics. To Jews in the Holy Cities of Palestine and the ghettos and shtetls of Eastern Europe, Ju…
Humanitarianism in Nineteenth-Century Context: Religious, Gendered, National
This article surveys the wave of new historical and political-science literature exploring humanitarianism and the ‘pre-history’ of human rights in the long nineteenth century, noting the presentist assumptions underpinning much of this literature. On the one hand, histories of humanitarianism have focused on the origins of present-day humanitarian concerns, paying particular attention to the anti-slavery movement. On the other hand, the overwhel…

Old Networks, New Connections: The Emergence of the Jewish International
How can we conceptualize the sheer diversity of Jewish experience in the nineteenth century? An earlier generation of historians turned to the Zionist national narrative, with its emphasis on the unique historical destiny of the Jewish people and the unity of their experience through the ages. Thus the Jerusalem School saw modern Jewish history in terms of the catastrophic impact of the nation-state on traditional Jewish communal and religious st…

Nationalism and the ‘Jewish International: Religious Internationalism in Europe and the Middle East c.1840–c.1880
Jewish cosmopolitanism has long assumed a central place in the ideology of anti-Semitism. Well before the publication of “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” the idea of international Jewish solidarity served as an argument against Jewish emancipation. In Britain, Sir Robert Inglis famously opposed granting the Jews political rights because “[t]he Jews of London have more sympathy with the Jews resident in Berlin or Vienna than with the Christi…
Rethinking Sir Moses Montefiore: Religion, Nationhood, and International Philanthropy in the Nineteenth Century
The nineteenth century is full of forgotten heroes. Sir Moses Montefiore (1784–1885)—once the most famous Jew in the world—is merely one among many. For a major public figure, he has been astonishingly neglected. There is as yet no scholarly biography, and there have been no attempts to locate his activities in a wider, non-Jewish environment.1 In the context of nineteenth-century historiography, however, this neglect appears less than surprising…
Power and the Nation in European History
Few would doubt the central importance of the nation in the making and unmaking of modern political communities. The long history of 'the nation' as a concept and as a name for various sorts of 'imagined community' likewise commands such acceptance. But when did the nation first become a fundamental political factor? This is a question which has been, and continues to be, far more sharply contested. A deep rift still separates 'modernist' perspec…

The Federal Alternative? A New View of Modern German History
The review examines the recent literature on German federalism. This literature has identified a decentralized, federal tradition in German history, dating back at least to the eighteenth century and in striking contrast with the ‘unitary’ traditions of the Prussian state. The review questions the extent to which centralization was indeed a Prussian phenomenon in German history by examining the relatively decentralized nature of the Prussian stat…

Intervening in the Public Sphere: German Governments and the Press, 1815–1870
This article argues that the growth of a free press in nineteenth-century Germany went hand in hand with the growth of an official, government-sponsored, press. The collapse of pre-publication censorship in 1848 prompted the development of increasingly sophisticated (and relatively successful) press control strategies by German governments, in the shape of official newspapers, semi-official newspapers, and indirect government press influence.
