Soot, Palm Trees, and Zinc
This article explores the reactions of white U.S. elite travelers to the greater Caribbean in the Gilded Age and progressive era. Focusing on the tropical port system that was the center of the region’s commodity export trade and simultaneously a center of visitor transit, it explores how visitors’ negative reactions, especially of disgust, fed into the politics of race and empire by attributing the effects of rapid globalization to non-white aut…
American Empire
In this book, A.G. Hopkins offers an interpretation of the United States seen through the lens of comparative imperial history. By plotting the growth and expansion of the United States against other globalising empires, Hopkins suggests, we can see a nation that looked and behaved much like other imperial powers, despite its repeated and long-standing claims to distinction. Challenging American exceptionalism can hardly claim to be an innovation…
Outside In
For around twenty years scholars have been seeking to reform the nation-state-oriented approach to the history of the United States. In the 1990s, this emerged in the form of ‘internationalising’ US history; from the early 2000s, this folded into the transnational turn that swept across many fields of modern history. Offering a collection of chapters from a range of leading scholars, this book seeks to provide a snapshot of the cumulative impact …
Spider Web
2015], 221), Nick Fischer argued that the history of anticommunism before the McCarthy era required a sustained and "thematically integrated" historical synthesis to show why the events of this earlier period were important, and "why they should lead historians and the general public to reassess the significance of Cold War anti-Communism."In Spider Web he seeks to deliver upon this request..

The Open Door Era
Examines the Open Door, the most influential U.S. foreign policy of the twentieth century In 1899, U.S. Secretary of State John Hay wrote six world powers calling for an ‘Open Door’ in China that would guarantee equal trading opportunities, curtail colonial annexation, and prevent conflict in the Far East. Within a year, the region had succumbed to renewed colonisation and war, but despite the apparent failure of Hay’s diplomacy, the ideal of the…
Open Door Era
Loyalty and Liberty
This book offers the first comprehensive account of the politics of countersubversion in the United States prior to the McCarthy era. The book traces the course of American countersubversion over the first half of the twentieth century, culminating in the rise of McCarthyism and the Cold War. This sweeping study explores how anti-subversive fervor was dampened in the 1920s in response to the excesses of World War I, transformed by the politics of…
The Supreme Court and McCarthy-Era Repression
Augmenting the work of Arthur J. Sabin, Michal R. Belknap, Geoffrey R. Stone, and others, Robert M. Lichtman's new book offers a concise yet comprehensive overview of every major decision made by the Supreme Court in cases relating to anticommunist political repression in the 1950s. While its principal purpose is referential—Lichtman provides potted summaries of the reasoning in each case—the work also offers general observations about Supreme Co…
Diverging Paths
This article examines the development of anticommunism in the United States in the Depression years. It argues that the rise of nazism on the international stage had profound repercussions for domestic anticommunist groups in the United States, forcing them into making strategic decisions about the content of their own ideology. By closely associating anticommunism with fascism, the spectre of nazism damaged those anticommunist groups such as the…
The Battle of Detroit and Anti-Communism in the Depression Era
This article is an exploration of Diego Rivera's visit to Detroit in 1932–3. It seeks to use his experiences, and in particular the spectacular popular reaction to the Detroit Industry murals he painted, as a prism for analysing varieties of anti-communism in Detroit in the depression era. The article argues that close relationships between private capitalists, most notably Henry Ford and a Mexican communist, expose contradictions in big business…
