The Cehs Presidential Roundtable. Volksdeutsche Beyond German History
Making an Industry
This article examines how fruit growers in British Columbia and the provincial government got into the business of making wine in the first half of the twentieth century. Growers sought primarily to sell fruit and saw wine as a possible additional source of revenue. Rather than pointing solely to climatic differences or the cultures of potential consumers, this article argues that the interests of growers and provincial liquor policies both made …

The Cambridge History of Global Migrations
Volume II presents an authoritative overview of the various continuities and changes in migration and globalization from the 1800s to the present day. Despite revolutionary changes in communication technologies, the growing accessibility of long-distance travel, and globalization across major economies, the rise of nation-states empowered immigration regulation and bureaucratic capacities for enforcement that curtailed migration. One major theme …
One Hundred Years of History and a Few Solitudes
This introductory article reflects on the centenary of the journal and explains the goals of this issue that seeks to analyze one hundred years of historiographic developments in more than a thousand articles. It presents insights about how the journal developed, particularly in the early decades, and what remnants of the early decades are still with us
Cent ans d’histoire et quelques solitudes
Cette introduction évoque le centenaire de la revue et explique les objectifs de ce numéro qui vise à analyser cent ans de développements historiographiques dans plus d’un millier d’articles. Il présente des aperçus sur la manière dont la revue s’est développée, en particulier au cours des premières décennies, et sur les vestiges qui subsistent encore aujourd’hui
Exclusion at the Heart of Empire
This article charts the history of hundreds of Punjabi labourers who migrated to Argentina in 1912 and then onward to the United Kingdom. It argues that both worker agency and imperial concerns about mobility shaped this episode of migration and exclusion. Drawing from sources produced in Britain and Argentina, in English and Spanish, it shows how both workers and bureaucrats pursued competing goals, and how the ideas and activities of both group…

Seeing Japan
This article examines the photography and writing of Cooper Robinson, who worked as a missionary in Japan between 1888 and 1925. Drawing from over 4,000 images, it analyzes how one missionary represented Japan, his religious project, and his personal life to Canadian audiences. Whether he used photographs to animate his lectures about Japan while in Canada on furlough, sent them as postcards to coreligionists, or saved them for his own memories, …
Japanese Exclusion and Environmental Conservation in the BC Salmon Fisheries, 1900-1930
Between 1900 and 1930, fishermen, cannery workers, investors, fisheries officials, and federal commissioners in British Columbia knew that the salmon in the Fraser and Skeena Rivers were overfished. They saw the solution in hatcheries, controlling when and where people could fish, and limiting the number of fishermen engaged in the commercial fisheries. Yet while the first two solutions relied on a certain scientific logic, the last issue was hig…
Emotions and Migration in Argentina at the Turn of the Twentieth Century
This book is about failed marriages and how migration played a role in their failure. It is a translation of a 2019 book titled Lazos rotos: La inmigración, el matrimonio y las emociones en la Argentina entre los siglos XIX y XX. Narrower than its English title suggests, the book focuses specifically on cases of marital conflict that found their way into the judicial record, including bigamy, domestic abuse, murder, and adultery (real or imagined…

Kelz, Robert. Competing Germanies
Undesirable Britons
This article examines the history of South Asian immigration to Argentina before the First World War. The arrival of a relatively small group of Sikh laborers in 1912, alongside other Japanese and Chinese immigrants in the preceding decade, sparked a huge reaction from Argentine politicians and immigration bureaucrats. They restricted entry, pushed for labor market exclusion, and engaged in diplomatic exchanges with British imperial authorities. …
Citizens of Empire
This article examines how one group of actors actively infused education, citizenship and Canada’s international relationships with a sense of empire in the first third of the twentieth century. Making use of archival and published sources from collections in Canada and Britain, it focuses in particular on imperial citizenship teaching in Canadian schools, a number of education conferences held in the United Kingdom and the exchanges of elementar…
Village among Nations
Paternal Communities
This article charts the emergence of several immigrant-run social welfare institutions in Argentina between 1880 and 1930. Using German-language organizations as an illustrative case study, it argues that immigrants played an important role in shaping the system of social welfare in Argentina over a long historical period. It focuses on the autonomy affluent immigrants sought to attain and the ideas about class, gender, and ethnicity they invoked…
Linguistic Ideology and State Power
This article analyzes the relationship between German and English in Ontario's educational system between 1880 and 1912. It examines textbooks, curriculum, and the linguistic ideology of the Education Department. It charts the transition of German from one of three languages of instruction alongside English and French to an elective subject. By connecting German to other language debates in the period, this study expands our view of English–Frenc…
