  • Forum on Scholarship and Peace Activism

    Open AccessDavid Cortright, Van Gosse et al.ARTICLEThe American Historical Review2025

    Significantly enhanced by the debate about climate change, the relationship between knowledge production and activism, as well as forms of research that bridge activism and engagement, has been discussed intensely in disciplines that address contemporary societies.1 In peace history, the relationship between activism and knowledge formation has always been an issue. While a comparative openness to activism has served as a reason for some to dismi…

  • Progressive New World

    Open AccessVan GosseARTICLEJournal of American History2020

    Nowadays, historians narrate the United States as “in the world,” but the transnational Anglosphere in which the nation developed remains understudied. Given this lacuna, Progressive New World is a major achievement in situating the United States among the English-speaking nations upon which the sun still does not set. These conquered territories all “offered jaded or disappointed Englishmen the opportunity to make themselves anew” through what R…

  • Cuba, the United States, and Cultures of the Transnational Left, 1930–1975

    Van GosseARTICLEJournal of American History2016Cited by: 1

    Scholars in American studies now routinely utilize the apparatus of history, including intensive archival research in topics once the province of political and diplomatic historians. True to their interdisciplinary mandate, however, they operate more like literary scholars than historians. The resulting studies do not construct narratives of change over time, interrogating causation and contingency; rather, they practice history by allusion, rang…

  • American Patriotism, American Protest

    Van Gosse, Gosse et al.ARTICLEJournal of American History2012

    This book's intent is first, to demonstrate that in recent decades social movements on both the left and right have consistently employed patriotic rhetoric, and second, to document that those movements have used tactics and techniques of protest developed in the “long sixties.” As a detailed examination of “social movements since the Sixties,” American Patriotism, American Protest fulfills its goals, making extensive use of archival sources to e…

  • As a Nation, the English Are Our Friends”

    Van GosseARTICLEThe American Historical Review2008Cited by: 9

    The English are the best friends the coloured people have upon earth. Though they have oppressed us a little and have colonies now in the West Indies, which oppress us sorely.—Yet notwithstanding they (the English) have done one hundred times more for the melioration of our condition, than all the other nations of the earth put together. The blacks cannot but respect the English as a nation, notwithstanding they have treated us a little cruel

    Maulana Karenga, born Ron Everett, was the charismatic founder of an ideology he called “cultural nationalism,” which emphasized the unity of all African people and an Afrocentric worldview. In 1965, he created the US organization in Los Angeles, organized around Kawaida (Swahili for “tradition and reason”). For Karenga, learning African languages, adopting African clothing, and replacing holidays such as Christmas with African-style celebrations…

    The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was the key legislation banning public and private discrimination against African Americans or any other racial, ethnic, or religious minority. For the first time in U.S. history, a federal law made it illegal to exclude someone from a job or a public accommodation (such as a hotel, restaurant, or movie theater) because of how he or she looked or where he or she came from or worshiped. Feminists mobilized to insert th…
