Carbon Sovereignty
These Findings Confirm Conclusions Many Have Arrived at by Intuition or Common Sense”
Providing clean water and sanitation was based on the common-sense notion that each had obvious benefits. Overcoming uncertainty, achieving precision, and quantifying the effects of clean water and sanitation came to dominate thinking on water and sanitation in the 1980s. As cost effectiveness analysis infiltrated global health the broad goal of providing clean water and adequate sanitation diminished in importance as short term solutions like Or…
Water and the death of ambition in global health, c.1970-1990
Economic development and good health depended on access to clean water and sanitation. Therefore, because economic development and good health depended on access to clean water and sanitation, beginning in the early 1970s the World Bank, the World Health Organization (WHO), and others began a period of sustained interest in developing both for the billions without either. During the 1980s, two massive and wildly ambitious projects showed what was…

Making Indian Law
In 1941, after decades of struggling to hold on to the remainder of their aboriginal home, the Hualapai Indians finally took their case to the Supreme Court and won. The Hualapai case was the culminating event in a legal and intellectual revolution that transformed Indian law and ushered in a new way of writing Indian history that provided legal grounds for native land claims. But Making Indian Law is about more than a legal decision. It’s the st…
Beyond Germs
Beyond Germs will appeal to historians of early America, the West, American Indians, and those interested in the history of disease. Determined to demonstrate that lack of immunity to novel diseases was only one component of the explanation for population decline, these scholars aim to if not overturn then at least dislodge virgin soil epidemics as the principle explanation for the cause of American Indian population decline. Their view is that v…
Medical Modernization and Medical Nationalism
In the fifteen years following World War II more was done to combat tuberculosis than at any other time in world history. On every continent, hundreds of millions received the BCG (Bacillus Calmette Guérin) vaccine and millions more benefited from newly discovered antibiotics. TB research and attempts to control the disease knit together disparate populations and places as a network of experts and a matrix of ideas spread out across the globe lin…
American Indians and State Law
The Red Man and the White Plague”
From the time it emerged as an epidemic in the last decades of the nineteenth century until it had become their number-one health problem in the 1950s, multiple explanations for the etiology of tuberculosis (TB) among American Indians competed for prominence. None was more debated than racial susceptibility—and none held on with such tenacity. Various race-based explanations —Indians’ inherent racial susceptibility, virgin soil theory, and degree…

A Discussion of Scholarly Responsibilities to Indigenous Communities
As the editor of H-AmIndian, a joint project between the History Department at Arizona State University and the Center for Humane Arts, Letters, and Social Sciences Online housed at Michigan State University, I have discovered that discussion threads go in cycles. Sometimes the listserv has a lively exchange of ideas between scholars on the subjects of American Indian history, culture, ideas, and professional behavior. Inexplicitly, for stretches…
Rain, Ritual, and Reclamation
While historians have recognized for many years that reclamation efforts on Indian land have been failures, rarely have they scrutinized the conditions for failure. By looking at more than Indian Service bungling, we can see that Indian people to a great extent determined the success or failure of irrigation projects. In Progressive Era historiography, Indians are seldom more than unwilling participants; here, the Navajo, the Zuni, and the enviro…
