Rebecca M. Kluchin, Fit to Be Tied
In Fit to Be Tied, Rebecca Kluchin explores why voluntary contraceptive sterilization, Americans' favoured form of long-term birth control, has flown under the historical radar. She reveals that voluntary sterilization emerged from the wreckage of the American eugenics movement, but remained overshadowed by the abortion debates. Even as voluntary sterilization increased upper-class, educated men's and women's access to permanent birth control, it…

Commentary on the study has often focused on the reasons for its initiation and for its long duration. Racism, bureaucratic inertia, and the personal motivations of study personnel have been suggested as possible explanations. We develop another explanation by examining the educational and profes…
Veiled Visions
Few monographs can divine national repercussions from local events, largely because local events rarely have transcendent significance. As David Fort Godshalk compellingly argues, examining Atlanta's 1906 race riot reveals how one searing local trauma—a racial pogrom incited by false white accounts of black-on-white rapes—reconfigured both local and national understandings of America's “race problem.” Focusing mostly on white and black elites, wi…
