A Tangled World: The Atlantic in the Eighteenth Century
This chapter examines the Atlantic in the eighteenth century. It begins by looking at the story of Olaudah Equiano, which reveals the barbarity of the institution of slavery and its central significance to the eighteenth century. Through the work of the enslaved and the ships that brought them to the New World, networks emerged that turned the Atlantic from a geographic space into a system. Most critically, the manner in which the Atlantic was in…
The British Atlantic on the Eve of American Independence
This chapter recasts America’s revolutionary origins as an imperial crisis brought on by changes in the Atlantic. It surveys Atlantic-wide developments over the course of the eighteenth century to suggest that the issues British Americans grappled with in the 1760s were not exceptional. The watery space was transformed by the movement of peoples, goods, and ideas for all. Slavery and the slave trade were the catalysts to systemic change. With the…
The Age of Atlantic Revolution: The Fall and Rise of a Connected World
The Age of Atlantic Revolution was a defining moment in western history. Our understanding of rights, of what makes the individual an individual, of how to define a citizen versus a subject, of what states should or should not do, of how labor, politics, and trade would be organized, of the relationship between the church and the state, and of our attachment to the nation all derive from this period (c. 1750–1850). This book shows that the Age of…

Imperial Confusion: America’s Post-colonial and Post-revolutionary Empire
This essay explores the question of whether we should consider the newly-independent United States an ‘empire.’ It does so by discussing emerging schools of thought that have suggested that the post-revolutionary state was more powerful than we had previously reckoned, as well as those that argue that the new state, though efficacious, is best considered post-colonial in its international standing and in its fit in a global political economy. To …
The Expanding Blaze: How the American Revolution Ignited the World, 1775-1848
With The Expanding Blaze Jonathan Israel has written an unapologetically contentious book with a deep sense of purpose. The subtitle says it all. The Expanding Blaze argues that the American Revolution “ignited” a series of revolutionary movements across the Atlantic world, including most notably the French Revolution, as well as rebellions in the Netherlands, Greece, Ireland, and a host of other places. The “how” in the subtitle is the point Isr…

The People with No Name: Ireland's Ulster Scots, America's Scots Irish, and the Creation of a British Atlantic World, 1689-1764
More than 100,000 Ulster Presbyterians of Scottish origin migrated to the American colonies in the six decades prior to the American Revolution, the largest movement of any group from the British Isles to British North America in the eighteenth century. Drawing on a vast store of archival materials, The People with No Name is the first book to tell this fascinating story in its full, transatlantic context. It explores how these people--whom one v…
The Birth, Death, and Resurrection of the Provincial Dilemma
This essay explores the utility of the ‘provincial dilemma’ for organizing Atlantic history. It does so by examining a 1954 article on the subject by Bernard Bailyn and John Clive. Colonists in America and the Caribbean, Protestant settlers in Ireland, and lowlanders in Scotland struggled with amphibious status. Their desire to be accepted as equals by metropolitans and, at the same time, carve out a niche as members of distinctive societies anim…

Describing Roles that Gay-Straight Alliances Play in Schools: From Individual Support to School Change
Based on a broader qualitative study of organizational level changes in schools participating in Massachusetts' Safe Schools Program, the authors describe four roles that GSAs played in the twenty-two schools: counseling and support; “safe” space; primary vehicle for raising awareness, increasing visibility, and educating about LGBT issues in school; and, part of broader school efforts for raising awareness, increasing visibility, and educating a…

The People with No Name: Ulster's Migrants and Identity Formation in Eighteenth-Century Pennsylvania
P ENNSYLVANIA'S defy simple explanation. Indeed, even the term Scots-Irish causes concern. The men and women who sailed from Ulster to Pennsylvania and peopled the frontier during the eighteenth century did not use the label, nor did their neighbors. Historians created the name to reflect the hybrid origins of an American group that left Ireland but descended from Scots. Although contemporaries used ScotchIrish to describe the group, settlers fro…
Defining the Limits of Britishness: The “New” British History and the Meaning of the Revolution Settlement in Ireland for Ulster's Presbyterians
Irish historian A. T. Q. Stewart has aptly described the world inhabited by eighteenth-century Ulster Scots as one of “hidden” significance. Compared to the rise of the Ascendancy and the repression of Catholics under the penal code, the story of Ulster's Presbyterians figures as interesting, albeit less significant, marginalia. While a few studies detail the handicaps the group suffered in the years after the Williamite Settlement, their eightee…

Changing the Game: Homophobia, Sexism, and Lesbians in Sport
The purpose of this article is to discuss, from a feminist perspective, the interconnected nature of homophobia and sexism in women's sport. After a brief description of the early 20th-century origins of the lesbian stereotype and the political function of homophobia in a sexist and heterosexist culture, manifestations of homophobia in women's sport are discussed: silence, denial, apology, promotion of a heterosexy image, attacks on lesbians, and…
From Hiding Out to Coming Out: Empowering Lesbian and Gay Educators
The purposes of this participatory research project were to describe the experiences of thirteen lesbian and gay educators and to empower the participants through collective reflection and action. Each participant was interviewed and given a copy of her or his audio-tape and transcript. Using these materials, each participant developed a profile of themselves to share with the other participants. During a series of group meetings that spanned fif…
Identity management strategies among lesbian and gay educators
This report describes identity management strategies used in school by lesbian and gay educators. Participants in the study were 13 self‐identified lesbian and gay educators who worked in preschool‐12th‐grade settings. Each participant was interviewed about her or his experience of being a lesbian or gay educator. Researchers and participants analyzed the interview transcripts to identify themes of experience. Participants chose identity manageme…
