A Mind to Stay: White Plantation, Black Homeland . By Sydney Nathans
In 1844, Paul Cameron forcibly moved 114 enslaved people from his wheat plantations in North Carolina to a newly purchased cotton plantation in western Alabama. In 1978, Sydney Nathans, a young historian at Duke University, traveled there with a question: “Could I find a black oral tradition—despite the lapse of 134 years—to shed light on the black perception of separation from home?” (6). To his surprise, Nathans found one origin story about the…

What makes the lower Midwest distinctive? In his thought-provoking monograph, Matthew E. Stanley contends that the “anti-black, anti-Confederate, anti-eastern” intellectual traditions rooted in the counties of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois closest to the Ohio River shaped the politics of not just the region but also the nation (p. 9). Adding details to the arguments of his graduate adviser Christopher Phillips, Stanley describes how the people of t…

He discusses its value as an artifact of the writing and editing process that led to his first book
Experience Rather than Imagination: Researching the Return Migration of African North Americans during the American Civil War and Reconstruction
Anglo-Saxonism in the Yukon: The Klondike Nugget and American-British Relations in the “Two Wests,” 1898–1901
During the Klondike Gold Rush, Americans and Britons connected their joint local experiences with the simultaneous colonial conquests in Cuba, the Philippines, South Africa, and China through the ideology of Anglo-Saxonism. From 1898 to 1901 Dawson's newspapers, memoirs, correspondence, and commercial photography demonstrated the power of this symbolic language of flags and balls, heated rhetoric and dazzling cartoons. The Klondike Nugget, the fi…
