Enterprising Émigrés of the Channel Islands: French Economic Migration under “Refugeedom” during the French Revolution
During the French Revolution, thousands of French refugees migrated through the Channel borderlands. At least four thousand settled there. The Channel Island of Jersey served as the loci of migration where economic life operated under “refugeedom,” a polity both apart from and particular to state authority. Refugeedom—in its alterity—suggests a matrix of economic conditions, legal codes, and social relations that can explain the lives of people i…
Domestic ruptures: French emigrants to the Channel Island of Jersey and the gendering of exile, 1789-1802
This essay focuses on the temporary settlement of refugees on the Channel Island of Jersey during the French Revolution, analyzing this borderland community with a gendered lens. Until recently, French historians have depicted the emigration as a direct response to French and British anti-émigré legislation and rhetoric, each wave contingent upon the political climate in France. This perspective, however, misses much of the complexity of Jersey’s…
WaSH as a maternal health issue: Three perspectives from rural Uganda
Inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH) knowledge and practices affect maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality. This article describes postpartum knowledge, resources, and practices in three rural Ugandan hospitals. A lack of WaSH resources was problematic for both staff and newly-birthed mothers who demonstrated a lack of knowledge about the appropriate use of WaSH resources and the links between WaSH and health protection. These r…
David Gentilcore. Food and Health in Early Modern Europe: Diet, Medicine and Society, 1450–1800
Eating well and healthy living are human constructs often swayed by the opinions of foodies and medical experts. In diets of the past, perhaps as much as in today’s, specific foods were prescribed for individual well-being, and sought after as markers of social status. Yet what makes diet such a noteworthy topic, particularly to historians of early modern Europe, is the question of continuity and change that can be documented through medical trea…
From rhetoric to reality: An NGO's challenge for reaching the furthest behind
The guiding principle of Agenda 2030 is the commitment to “leave no one behind”. However, as the Millennium Development Goals experience has demonstrated, there remains a “rhetoric-implementation gap” where local stakeholders struggle to realistically respond to policies formulated at the global level. This article proposes a way forward for NGOs seeking to translate the rhetoric of Agenda 2030 into reality. It presents an integrated and multi-se…
Food and the Annales School
Food history emerged as a serious academic pursuit in the wake of a major reorientation in the field of history led by French scholars of the Annales School. Established in 1929 by French historians Marc Bloch and Lucien Febvre, the Annales in 1929 was a ground-breaking journal dedicated to historical and contemporary research in economics and sociology. Although the Annales is not solely responsible for the rise of social history, its founders u…
Sean Takats. The Expert Cook in Enlightenment France
The ascendancy of modern French cooking to the pinnacle of European “haute cuisine” in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries has been long acknowledged by historians as an outcome of court splendor and the urbane tastes of a widening consumer class. Food historians have carefully analyzed the explosion of cookbooks that denounced medieval cookery and ushered in modern French cooking. But, until now, surprisingly little attention has been given…

Control and independence strayegies for large geography classes
A variety of innovations from UK institutions are described that tackle the problems of larger geography classes and more students. Each is set out according to a common format. The introduction sets these UK innovations in the particular context of developments in North American higher education and in the wider context of control and independence strategies for dealing with higher student: staff ratios
Seasonality and dracunculiasis transmission: The relevance for global eradication
Dracunculiasis, like many tropical.vectored diseases, has a marked seasonal cycle of transmission and patency, reflecting the complex interactions occurring between disease agents, vectors and human hosts. This paper identifies the seasonal manifestations of dracunculiasis. In West Africa, the main remaining endemic area, peak patency and transmission occur in the drier savanna during the wet season, and in the wetter savanna to the south predomi…

Primary health care: Why has water been neglected
Since primary health care became ‘selective’ the need for clean water sources has largely been neglected. This paper highlights both the economic and philosophical necessity to look again at the approach to primary health care. An observational study from Nigeria is used to exemplify a community where a clean water source was the most urgent need, yet was ignored. Guinea worm infestation therefore caused serious disability in the community and re…

Marriage Migration, A Neglected Form of Long-Term Mobility: A Case Study from Ilorin, Nigeria
A case study of a Yoruba city of pre-colonial origin, Ilorin, Nigeria, reveals a movement of rural women to marry into wealthy polygymous compounds in the city and the return of some of these women to their rural natal compounds later in life. This movement may be an explanation for the high proportion of women in indigenous towns, and perhaps also in some newer medium-sized settlements. It can also be seen as a reflection of the unequal and expl…

A Model of the Rural Settlement Process: The Rural Community and Population Mobility in the Ilorin Area of Nigeria
The rural settlement process in Nigeria is examined using data from interviews carried out between 1978 and 1982 with 1,500 residents in the Ilorin area. A four-stage model is developed that includes permanent and temporary migration. The author describes the process whereby daughter settlements gradually become independent of their parent settlements
