Farming with Petroleum
This article recovers and analyzes the sophisticated corporate response to environmentalist concerns already in the 1960s about the radical disruption of the nitrogen cycle that governs life on the planet caused by intensified application of chemical fertilizers. In 1971, ecologist Barry Commoner petitioned the Illinois Pollution Control Board to curtail the use of nitrogen fertilizer. This was the first-ever effort to use new state environmental…
Snake Oil and Gaslight
This article seeks to sidestep the dilemma of restricted access to oil company archives through a close examination of a heretofore underutilized source base: the fossil fuel industry’s own trade journals and magazines. These oil and gas industry trade publications have served to envelop their readership in what we would now call an information bubble. Still, it is important to highlight the contradictory tactics that trade industry publications …
The Strange Career of Racial Liberalism
Joseph Darda's monograph has a driving thesis, namely that, in the postwar era, “racial liberalism inaugurated an age of antiracism in which all condemned racism while little changed in the fortunes of Black and brown people in the United States” (p. 8). This development was a team effort, Darda writes, bringing together “scientists, officials, novelists, and jurists,” as well as philanthropists and politicians, all of whom “now addressed race as…
Making Sense of Plague in the Vietnam War
An epidemic of bubonic plague engulfed Vietnam during the 1960s. Strikingly, it has all but vanished from historical accounts of the Vietnam War. By reading US military medical sources with and against writings by critics of the war and placing both in relation to scholarship in environmental history, this article seeks to recover a narrative of the bubonic plague epidemic in Vietnam. In doing so, it offers a fresh perspective on more familiar st…

On the Heels of Ignorance: Psychiatry and the Politics of Not Knowing
Why do we have psychiatry?” inquires the sociologist Owen Whooley—not a question he asks as prelude to yet another “antipsychiatry screed,” but, he avers, rather “as a serious puzzle in need of explanation” (p. 5). All professions worry over the legitimacy of their authority, Whooley observes, but in this regard psychiatry exists in a class by itself. “Ignorance is the consistent driving force behind the history of American psychiatry,” he writes…
The other side of the brain: The politics of split-brain research in the 1970s–1980s
In the course of the 1970s and 1980s, theories derived from neuropsychological research on the bisected brain came rapidly to achieve the status of common sense in the United States and Canada, inflecting all manner of popular and academic discussion. These theories often posited that the right hemisphere was the seat of creative expression, whereas the left hemisphere housed rationality and language. This article analyzes the political and cultu…

Richard Noll. American Madness: The Rise and Fall of Dementia Praecox
In the ten-year span between 1895 and 1905, a previously unknown medical diagnosis for a mental disease whose symptoms included delusions, depressions, and deadness of affect arrived in the United States with great fanfare and far greater implications. Known as “dementia praecox,” this new disease classification had first been identified by German psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin in the fourth edition of his textbook, Psychiatrie, published in 1893. A…

(Re)Collecting the Past: Writing Native American Speech
FRIEND, I AM GOING TO TELL YOU THE STORY OF MY LIFE, AS you wish; and if it were only story of my life I think I would not tell it; for what is one man that he should make much of his winters, even when they bend him like a heavy snow?' So begins John G. Neihardt's 1932 account of a Sioux Indian's oral remembrances, Black Elk Speaks. It is one of many cross-cultural ventures from 1930s that sought to transform speech of dispossessed into a more l…
