▼ The history of working-class housing in nineteenth-century France is dominated by narratives of isolated successes, legislation at the end of the century, and the experience of housing in Paris above all other cities. Because of this, the significance and diversity of provincial French experiences have been overlooked. This obscures the very real and important role that different local elite strategies concerning the 'housing problem' played in provincial cities through the century, regardless of whether they impacted national housing policy. Just as important as direct interventions - which sought to improve legislation or build new houses - were strategies of interaction, which focused on working-class families impacted by poor housing without necessarily improving conditions, and self-conscious strategies of inaction, whereby provincial elites consciously chose not to intervene in the domain of workers housing because of what they judged more pressing economic, social, or political concerns. By comparing the strategies employed by industrial and municipal elites in the three textile cities of Roubaix, Mulhouse, and Lyon between c. 1840-80, this thesis explores the multifaceted nature of the 'housing question' and responses to it. In this thesis, I reveal the diversity of elite strategies regarding housing, which were driven by a distinct combination of different local, regional, national, and international conditions. Through incorporating both failure and inaction alongside successful intervention and distinctive interactions, I not only overcome the dominant narratives in histories of housing, but I also offer a fresh interpretation of the social history of the heterogeneous, overlapping, and occasionally conflicting different elites that existed in nineteenth-century provincial France. The ways local industrial and municipal elites chose or chose not to tackle their specifically local housing situations reveal to us the different ways that interactions with workers and their domestic milieu shaped the construction of identities in nineteenth-century France.

The Archive as an Illustrated Space for Disputed, ‘Dubious’ and Hidden Narratives: Employing an Original Concept of the Illustrative Turn in order to Re-establish Identities for Fairground Females within the Established Historical Record.

▼ This research asserts that an archive is a powerful narrative space whose structure can be manipulated to unveil and illustrate ‘dubious’ and hidden stories. This hypothesis is tested through an enquiry that physically builds an archive as illustrated space which (re-) establishes the identities of five fairground females through the utilisation of traditional signwriting and illustrative storytelling. Embedded within fairground heritage, both the research and practice elements of the enquiry are informed by an insider’s appreciation of its rich history.
The research develops a relationship between the practices and theories of illustration and the archive: something under-developed when compared to the long-standing relationship between fine art and the archive. The framework of an archive as illustrated space is constructed by dissecting theories from varying standpoints. The research introduces the concept of the illustrative turn which borrows from the structure of a magic trick – involving the direction, subsequent misdirection, then reveal to the reader. The intention is for the framework to serve as a tool for illustrative practitioners to apply to their own archival research, and consequently the framework contributes to the critical discourse of illustration.
The National Fairground and Circus Archive (NFCA) is utilised to establish how the existing representations of the five females are not fully recorded, despite their pivotal roles within their respective communities. Applying this research within the theoretical framework demonstrates how illustration contributes to the expansion of the historical record – and broadens audience engagement with the material: narrative fragments of the fairground females are conveyed to re-establish their identities in illustrated spaces, and consequently in the NFCA context.

▼ This thesis offers the first lived experience study of youth in 1960s England. Previous histories of post-war youth have tended to focus on representations of young people rather than their daily lives. This thesis therefore uses contemporary social surveys, Mass Observation directives and oral history interviews to examine the experiences, memories and meanings of youth for working- and lower middle-class young adults, born between approximately 1940 and 1955, across England. It analyses young adults’ experiences in work, leisure and personal relationships. Popular memories of the ‘swinging sixties’ tend to present young adults in the period as hedonistic, permissive, promiscuous, subcultural rebels in constant generational conflict with their parents. However, this thesis shows that young adults’ lived experiences were more ‘mundane’ or ‘ordinary’ than these images suggest – most did not experience a ‘swinging sixties’. This thesis argues that age, gender, class, family, location and economics fractured and shaped the experiences of youth, meaning that there was no singular or homogenous youth culture. Young adults did have enough experiences in common, however, to be united by a shared sense of being part of a distinct generation at a distinct historical moment. Indeed, the socio-economic and cultural landscape of the 1960s necessarily shaped young adults’ lives and what it meant to be a young adult in the 1960s. The thesis also examines the relationship between popular memories of the ‘swinging sixties’ and personal memories of life in the period to demonstrate that both act together to influence people’s selfhoods and what it meant to be a young adult in 1960s England. Ultimately, this thesis shows that youth was as much about identity and a sense of belonging as it was about a set of common experiences.

▼ This thesis investigates the socially imagined representation of two areas of the global South, through the lens of contemporary art. It traces the historicisation of urban Latin America and the Arab world along a timeline of critical lenses, questioning their construction as imagined sites. Re-occurring tropes from exhibition spaces acting as representations of the global South on a macro-level are contrasted with observations from a local level, in an ethnographic study of nineteen artist groups of four capital cities of Latin America and the Arab world. The research draws upon sociological methodologies of research, arts methodologies and historicisation to chart the scope and function of these groups against the backdrop of the global art-institution’s so-called geographic turn and it’s romanticisation of the precarious state as the new avant-garde. Moving away from the traditional cartography of art and social history, this thesis offers an expanded concept of collectivity and social engagement through art, and the artist group as unit of social analysis in urban space. Putting these ideas into dialogue, artist-led structures are presented as counter-point to collective exhibitions and to the collectivity of national identity and citizenship. An abundance of artist groups in the art scene of each city represents an informal infrastructure in which a mirror image of inner-workings of the city and art world become visible through this zone of discourses in conflict. This unorthodox exploration of art, region, and collective expression launches into the possibility of new constellations of meaning, tools to recapture the particulars of everyday experience in the unfolding of large narratives. Examining the place of collective art practices in the socio-political history of the city, this intervention into current theory around the role of art from the global South traces the currents and counter-currents of the art-institution and its structures of representation re-enacted in places of display and public discourse – the museum, the news, the gallery, the biennial,the street and the independent art space.

▼ This thesis aims to conduct a study of battle jackets using painting as a recording and analytical tool. A battle jacket is a customised garment worn in heavy metal subcultures that features decorative patches, band insignia, studs and other embellishments. Battle jackets are significant in the expression of subcultural identity for those that wear them, and constitute a global phenomenon dating back at least to the 1970s. The art practice juxtaposes and re-contextualises cultural artefacts in order to explore the narratives and traditions that they are a part of. As such, the work is situated within the genre of contemporary still life and appropriative painting. The paintings presented with the written thesis document a series of jackets and creatively explore the jacket form and related imagery. The study uses a number of interrelated critical perspectives to explore the meaning and significance of the jackets. Intertextual approaches explore the relationship of the jackets to other cultural forms. David Muggleton’s ‘distinctive individuality’ and Sarah Thornton’s ‘subcultural capital’ are used to emphasise the importance of jacket making practices for expressions of personal and corporate subcultural identity. Italo Calvino’s use of postmodern semiotic structures gives a tool for placing battle jacket practice within a shifting network of meanings, whilst Richard Sennett’s‘material consciousness’ helps to understand the importance of DIY making practices used by fans. The project refers extensively to a series of interviews conducted with battle jacket makers between 2014 and 2016. Recent art historical studies of still life painting have used a materialist critique of historic works to demonstrate the uniqueness of painting as a method of analysis. The context for my practice involves historical references such as seventeenth century Dutch still life painting. The work of contemporary artists who are exploring the themes and imagery of extreme metal music is also reviewed.

▼ This thesis investigates the socially imagined representation of two areas of the global South, through the lens of contemporary art. It traces the historicisation of urban Latin America and the Arab world along a timeline of critical lenses, questioning their construction as imagined sites. Re-occurring tropes from exhibition spaces acting as representations of the global South on a macro-level are contrasted with observations from a local level, in an ethnographic study of nineteen artist groups of four capital cities of Latin America and the Arab world. The research draws upon sociological methodologies of research, arts methodologies and historicisation to chart the scope and function of these groups against the backdrop of the global art-institution’s so-called geographic turn and it’s romanticisation of the precarious state as the new avant-garde. Moving away from the traditional cartography of art and social history, this thesis offers an expanded concept of collectivity and social engagement through art, and the artist group as unit of social analysis in urban space. Putting these ideas into dialogue, artist-led structures are presented as counter-point to collective exhibitions and to the collectivity of national identity and citizenship. An abundance of artist groups in the art scene of each city represents an informal infrastructure in which a mirror image of inner-workings of the city and art world become visible through this zone of discourses in conflict. This unorthodox exploration of art, region, and collective expression launches into the possibility of new constellations of meaning, tools to recapture the particulars of everyday experience in the unfolding of large narratives. Examining the place of collective art practices in the socio-political history of the city, this intervention into current theory around the role of art from the global South traces the currents and counter-currents of the art-institution and its structures of representation re-enacted in places of display and public discourse – the museum, the news, the gallery, the biennial,the street and the independent art space.

▼ This dissertation examines the Veterans
History Project (VHP), an official U.S. government project created under a bill signed into law by President William J. Clinton on October 27, 2000 to document the experiences of American veterans and their supporters in time of war. It explores the intersections between, cultural,
social, public, and military
history and addresses the following questions: Who created the VHP, what were the motivations, and what resources did Congress allocate the Library of Congress, the federal agency selected to fulfill the mandate? Who was charged with implementing the VHP, why, and what resources did they employ? In terms of the collection, what are the results? Primary sources used to reconstruct this
history include oral
history interviews, congressional reports, and veteran testimonies housed in its on-line archival and digital collection.
This study asserts that the VHP model was adopted based on the Library of Congress/American Folklife Center antecedents (previous oral
history projects) that began with the Works Progress Administration's Federal Writer's Project (FWP) a lasted when the democratization of U.S.
history and a shift in professional research practices, ethics, and goals led to "radical trust," a decline in expert and curatorial authority towards a more egalitarian approach, where everyone regardless of professional status shares authority. This participatory approach adopted for the VHP differs from an earlier LOC approach utilized in the WPA and 1970s projects. It is now witnessed in how the VHP grants untrained, amateur historians the authority to contribute on equal basis with trained scholars. It has largely kept with the "spirit of legislation," inspiring numerous national partner groups, historians, educators, students, and veterans to participate. However, the VHP is politically charged and represents more of a celebratory endeavor than a serious professional scholarly effort to document veteran's experiences. It suggests that Congress is not concerned about creating an accurate/complete historical record of wartime experiences. Therefore, the concept of "radical trust" is limited and the VHP will continue to collect materials in vast numbers and remain wildly uneven in quality of interview and coverage of diverse veteran groups across gender, race, and ethnic lines.

State building and state-society relations in Libya (1911-1969) : an examination of associations, trade unions and religious actors.

▼ This thesis is an examination of state-society relations in Libya during the period preceding the rise of Gaddafi in 1969. It addresses the roots of Libya’s recurring state failure by examining the role played by Libyan social actors in state building during the period between 1911 and 1969. Three key periods in Libya’s history are addressed: the colonial period under the Italians (1911–1943), then the years under the British Military Administration (1943–1951) and then the period as an independent monarchy (1951– 1969). Three social actors are explored: associations or jamʿiyyat, trade unions, and religious groups. Based on Migdal (2004) and Saouli (2012), I approach state formation as a process, not as a finished outcome, and the state as a social field wherein social actors engage with one another as well as with state structures rather than a fixed entity. This approach allows a deeper understanding of the temporal dimensions of Libya’s experience with state building as well as the different processes at play through which states are formed and (un)formed. The thesis makes three key arguments. First, contrary to the majority of Western scholarship on Libya which ascribes Libya’s “statelessness” to a failure to adopt modern state formation following independence, I argue that this linear view oversimplifies a much more complex local power dynamic among social actors, and between social actors and the state (colonial and postcolonial) that manifested itself in modes of cooperation and contestation that shaped Libya’s experience with state building. This view of “statelessness” also suggests that divisions in Libya’s social fabric are endemic which is not the case. Through a social history of the period in question, the thesis shows that while contestation among social actors before and after independence had been stronger than centralizing forces, this should be explained in context and in history. Second, I argue that 8 within non-Western societies where a normative notion of the modern nation-state was imposed but was adopted by local actors and adapted to social, cultural and historical realities that are local, it is within the civic space that society was empowered to shape the state in both constructive and (de)constructive ways, and that there is a pattern to how this shaping happens that is embedded within the history of those societies. Third, the thesis demonstrates that Libya’s civic space has played a twofold role in state formation. On the one hand, it has actively contributed to the strengthening of resistance forces against colonialism, the development of state institutions and the domestication of state power as experienced in the Kingdom of Libya (1951 – 1969). On the other hand, because of societal differences, many of which resulted from aggressive colonialism, a short history of institutionalization and the entrenchment of fragmentation and regional differences, Libya’s civic space manifested processes of localism or bonding and coalescing that occurred within groups which compromised the…

▼ This dissertation is an interdisciplinary
investigation into the relationship between pregnant and pre-gravid
women and their fetuses in the Roman Empire. It examines the
cultural ideologies of reproduction and investigates the
contributions of these ideologies to narratives of pregnancy and
birth. By putting reproductive age women at the center of the
investigation, this work departs from previous scholarship on Roman
pregnancy and birth, which has overwhelmingly focused on the unborn
fetus or the young child. Chapter one explores ideologies of
reproduction and the nature of the maternal/fetal relationship in
Roman legal texts. Chapters two and three consider these same
issues in the Greco-Roman medical, scientific and philosophical
texts of the Roman Empire. Chapter four explores the topic through
uterine votives and amulets and birth scenes on biographical
sarcophagi from the Roman Mediterranean. Throughout the
investigation, four interrelated themes emerge. First there is a
focus on the womb as an independent entity, paradoxically contained
within the female body, but also capable of autonomous action. This
imaginary appears, for instance, in Roman-era medical and
scientific accounts of the “wandering womb” and in visual
depictions of disembodied, oversized uteri on magical-medical
amulets from Roman Egypt. Second, there is a corresponding focus on
the fetal actor, valued for its broadly defined potentiality.
Third, the notion of an independent, living fetus, endowed with
rights, protections and potentialities leads to the creation and
propagation of a narrative of maternal/fetal antagonism. The
interests of the developing fetus are set in conflict with the
interests, actions and choices of the pregnant woman. Fourth, the
reproductive age woman is defined by her ability to reproduce—she
is always a potential mother. In a pre-gravid state she has the
potential to become pregnant. Once pregnant, both her mental and
psychic state and her physical actions are seen as having
considerable repercussions on the fetus. Out of these themes come
the relationships and antagonisms that form the core of this
investigation: woman versus womb and woman versus fetus. These
narratives form the core of reproductive ideology in the Roman
Empire.

▼ The Social War (90-88 BCE) was perhaps the most destructive conflict to occur in Italy besides Hannibal’s invasion one hundred years earlier. H. Mouritsen has criticized scholarship about the Social War for reproducing an understanding of the reasons and results of that war constructed from a nineteenth-century nationalist perspective, and for accepting uncritically the narrative of the first-century CE historian Appian, the only intact narrative of the war to survive from antiquity. I attempt to address these critiques by employing twenty-first-century models of nations and nation-state formation as comparative material for the political and social changes that occurred in Italy during and after the Social War, and make an argument that the foundation narratives of the second half of the first century BCE can provide evidence for contemporary ideas about Rome’s Italian allies and their place in Rome’s government and empire. This dissertation is divided into two parts of two chapters each. The first part discusses the idea of “Italy” and its development over time, both geographically and politically, and introduces Kymlicka’s model of the nation-building state as a comparative model to judge Roman Italy against. I support this comparative model with Smith’s criticisms of “modernist” nationalist thought, i.e. the position that the nation is inherently modern. The second part consists of a reading of three foundation narratives, those of Cicero, Livy, and Ovid. I read these foundation narratives as justifications of their contemporary political circumstances. I also examine the poetry of Propertius, and argue that Propertius does not portray a regional, Umbrian identity as an alternative to a Roman or Italian identity. I conclude that the nation-building institutions of Roman Italy reached their developed forms during the rule of Augustus, that Italian identity formed in this same period, and that the three foundation narratives are evidence for that Italian identity in a developmental phase.

▼ Countless studies exist examining President Harry S. Truman’s Executive Order 9981 mandating racial desegregation of the U.S. armed forces, though all singularly focus on the experiences of male soldiers in the twentieth century. This thesis examines how the Women’s Army Corps (WAC) training center at Fort Lee, Virginia implemented desegregation in 1950 in the midst of the Korean War with relative speed and tolerance. Determined through archival records including official WAC reports, photographs, newspapers, and nine newly conducted racially diverse oral
history interviews with WAC veterans, I demonstrate how the Fort Lee training center became a physical and cultural “island of integration in an otherwise sea of segregation” in the Jim Crow South.<a title="">[1]</a> The WAC had distinct advantages to make for a rapid transition to desegregated training, namely too few enlisted black women to merit the continuance of segregated units at Fort Lee. Nonetheless, the bonding experiences of basic training helped ease lingering racial prejudices among the women, thus fostering a peaceful and unified community in which to train and live. A
social history of this kind offers a much-needed expansion of the historiography by placing women at the forefront of military desegregation. Using oral
history to examine the racial attitudes among female recruits and officers between 1948 and 1954, the following chapters analyze how the Fort Lee WAC training center underwent the critical transformation of segregated to integrated training at mid-century.

▼ The people of the African diaspora across the Americas had long looked for a way out of the situation that had been imposed on them since their arrival as slaves. Black nationalism was created in the early 1900s as a last-ditch effort by former slaves to take control of their lives, communities, and to assert political power in a pervasive environment of segregation. People like Robert F. Williams and Stokely Carmichael put forward a Black nationalist, self-defense agenda that was meant to counteract the violence that had been directed at African Americans over the years. Looking for a friend to help, they found an unlikely ally in Fidel Castro and his newly created revolutionary government that successfully challenged and defeated the U.S.-backed dictator. However, these movements had little in common and were only united in their criticism of the U.S. Soon, Black nationalists found that the rhetoric coming out of Cuba about a “racial paradise” was untrue, and it became apparent in time that the revolutionary regime had done no better a job in dealing with discrimination than did the U.S. government. Desperate to find an ally, African-Americans fell prey to the lure of Cuban propaganda that was directed at them with the goal of exploiting them in furtherance of their communist agenda.

▼ This thesis is a historical investigation of how the state and voluntary sector responded to intellectual disability in Ireland, from the foundation of the Department of Health in 1947 to the 1984 Towards a Full Life Green Paper. It uses a variety of sources, including statutory records and publications, files from voluntary organisations, newspaper coverage, parliamentary debates, programmes from the state broadcaster RTÉ (Radió Teilifís Éireann) and oral histories, to consider how voluntary groups and the state conceptualised their role in the lives of the ‘mentally handicapped’ and the impact of this understanding on the lived experiences of the disabled. Internationally, the latter half of the twentieth century was characterised by considerable socio-cultural change for the ‘mentally retarded’. This research investigates the evolving approach to intellectual disability in Ireland during this period, which encompassed the introduction of an impairment-based welfare allowance, considerable expansion to residential services, as well as the emergence of community-based facilities like ‘special schools’ and occupational workshops.
This thesis aims to understand these developments across the policy and provision landscape, as well as how they affected the lives of the disabled. In doing so, it argues that the needs of the ‘handicapped’ were poorly addressed through a network of services that reflected broader patterns in Irish social policy during the mid-to-late twentieth century. This project explores why that was the case, by charting how and why disability policy documents were implemented within a service landscape that continued to favour voluntary provision and established practices into the mid-1980s. The story of the ‘handicapped’ in Ireland was therefore one of both radical change and striking continuity, set against the (reluctant) expansion of statutory engagement with this group.
Through responses to intellectual disability, this research also affords an insight into the cultural construction of the Irish socio-political system and augments existing work on statutory welfare, institutional care, the history of medicine, and social policy. In bringing these strands together, it argues that there was a distinct trajectory visible across Irish approaches to the ‘mentally handicapped’ during the mid-to-late twentieth century, produced due to the state’s conservative social policy philosophy and established political dynamics. It also suggests that closer attention to the experiences of the marginalised can open new avenues for the construction of more nuanced histories of health and welfare reform.

▼ The Great War was a formative event for men who came of age between 1914 and 1918. They believed the experience forged them into a distinct generation. This collective identification more than shaped a sense of self; it influenced understanding of the conflict’s meaning. Canadian historians, however, have overlooked the war’s generational impact, partly because they reject notions of a disillusioned Lost Generation. Unlike European or American youths, it is argued that Canadian veterans did not suffer postwar disillusionment. Rather, they embraced the war alongside a renewed Canadian nationalism. This generation was proud of their nation’s wartime achievements, notably those of the Canadian Corps, but the conflict’s meaning was rooted in more than battlefield history. Its validity was inseparable from the postwar life that veterans believed they had fought. Yet, despite hopes to return home to a ‘square deal’, economic and international instability marred life in interwar Canada, dashing the generation’s confidence in the future.
This discontent is obscured by histories heavily focused on memory and a corresponding reliance on cultural sources, such as war books, to explain the conflict’s social history. While an important part of the war’s legacy, retrospective focus on commemoration is a poor guide to the lived realities of the postwar present. In the war’s aftermath many young veterans struggled to find work. Combined with the prospect of renewed war in Europe, their unemployment added to a growing list of postwar grievances, including failure to secure adequate assistance for wounded and traumatized veterans. These unresolved complaints about the pension system, the soldier settlement schemes, and the mishandling of postwar canteen funds (particularly in Ontario) more than undermined the war generation’s belief in the war, it left them deeply disillusioned with its meaning.

▼ Idaho's Shoshone and Bannock Indians have long relied upon the Snake River. The waterway provides salmon and waters the vast Camas Prairie. On the prairie grows the Camas plant, the roots of which Shoshones and Bannocks harvest as a staple of their diet. Grass also grows on the prairie and the surrounding plains, which fed huge herds of bison that Shoshones and Bannocks also relied upon for food and skins to wear and trade. As a result of integration into the globalizing economy initiated by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, indigenous peoples of the area and Euroamericans overhunted bison populations, driving them to near extinction. Equestrian Bannock culture centered on the bison hunt as the primary means to accumulate wealth and prestige. As bison numbers declined, American cattlemen drove their herds onto the Camas Prairie, consuming and trampling the plants and roots that Shoshones and Bannocks gathered. The combination of the decline of bison numbers, the severe degradation of the Camas Prairie and the failure of the federal government to provide Shoshones and Bannocks on the Fort Hall Reservation with treaty promised food rations and cash annuities drove a coalition of Bannocks, Shoshones and Paiutes to war in 1878, led by a Bannock named Buffalo Horn. The Bannocks quickly lost the war, but the conflict marked a significant transition period in the
history of the Northwest in which indigenous armed resistance to colonization and the reservation system became no longer viable. After the war, the Carey Act of 1896 opened the Snake River and southeastern Idaho to irrigation privatization. Wild speculation characterized much of the investment, and Fort Hall reservation farmers largely lacked the huge capital sums required to extract financial and hydraulic value from the plan. Despite exclusion from Carey Act development, the reservation community continued using traditional irrigation and farming techniques to raise low water crops and begin their own pastoral cattle industry.

▼ The Indigenes of North America's Great Basin developed a way of life based on the available resources the Basin provided. Their culture and customs provided a stable means of understanding and interacting with nature and men. Their myths elaborated on expectations, hopes, and fears, in real and metaphorical ways, as evidenced by stories of the trickster Coyote. As Great Basin bands contacted Europeans, they adjusted their resource gathering based on new technologies, such as horses and guns, as well as their myths to cope with change. This process entailed some adjustment in their perceptions of the world around them and in their own identities. Some Indigenes, such as the Utes and Comanches, raided other Native bands enslaving women and children who they traded to the Spanish in exchange for additional horses and guns. Native American children, acquired through this difficult and wrenching raid-and-trade process, experienced a major cultural shift that imposed upon them an external identity. They reacted to that shift in varied ways that expressed individual constructed identity. The Utes and others who sold, traded or gave them away, and the Mormons who purchased, accepted or received them in trade, struggled to define rules governing the practice and their obligations concerning the children caught up by that practice. Individual personality characteristics, preconceived notions about the opposing culture, and the external federal government actions, complicated rules definition and the subsequent behavior of those involved.
As the children married some faced prejudice and others found acceptance. Individual personalities, rather than cultural conventions alone often determined outcomes. Native Americans and Mormons experienced conflicts with each other, and with the U. S. Army and federal agents, and negotiated their place in new structures. Mormons and Native Americans experienced disillusionment as accepted concepts collided reality, resulting in a mixture of anger, accommodation, assimilation and acculturation. Native American children in Mormon homes negotiated their individual identities based on cultural cues from their combined cultures. Subsequent secondary literature written years after the fact tried to simplify this complex process as dictated by preconceived, often culturally skewed, notions.

▼ This thesis examines the first fifty years of a modest 1950 housing tract of one hundred thirty-nine houses and five commercial lots in Santa Ana, California. I analyzed deeds, maps, newspapers, powers of attorney, building permits, city directories, and promotional material and interviewed nearly one hundred former and current residents to determine who came to Santa Ana in the mid-twentieth century, why they came, and why they stayed or left. Contrary to what contemporary Los Angeles boosters might have thought, mid-century Santa Ana was not simply a suburb of Los Angeles. In 1950 Santa Ana, with 45,533 residents and forty manufactories, was the urban hub for El Toro Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) and for growing Orange County. By the end of the century the city’s housing units were the most densely populated in the U.S. My research suggests that between 1950 and 2000 most new residents, including the hundreds of thousands of Marines who transferred to and through El Toro MCAS, followed their jobs to Santa Ana; others came in search of cultural community. My analysis of deeds and interviews indicates that high numbers of active-duty military homeowners altered the community landscape by stimulating frequent housing turnover and a high number of absentee-landlord rental properties that continued through the end of the century.
Historians Becky Nicolaides, Andrew Wiese, Greg Hise, and others who reexamine Kenneth Jackson’s 1985
Crabgrass Frontier identify alternate forms of postwar suburbs that differ from the Levittown model of popular imagery. The Santa Ana tract in this study represents one such variation that was integrated into the city through mixed land use and public through-traffic. In
The Suburb Reader (2006) editors Nicolaides and Wiese call for historians to investigate the extent to which the postwar suburban nuclear family accurately reflected the ideal image. Although the Santa Ana developer originally sold houses only to white married couples, most families in this tract did not fit the traditional nuclear family model in several ways. Notably, the tract’s military families with often-absent husbands and fathers deviated significantly from the traditional ideal. However, death, marriage, divorce, migration, and economics affected nuclear family structure and homeownership for most families within the small tract from 1950, before the new houses closed escrow, through 2000, by which time the demographic and built profiles of the tract and the city had changed.

▼ Between 1870 and 1940, Americans redefined their perceptions, ideas, and cultural meanings of seafaring under sail. The Maritime Revival – a cultural phenomenon that took the workaday nineteenth-century maritime world and converted it into an archetypical exercise in essential Americanism – selectively picked stories, symbols, and specific lifestyles and elevated them to heroic status. Part of larger nineteenth-century revivalism, the Maritime Revival created an image of seafaring that was a small subset of the entire experience-as-lived. By the 1930s, Americans recognized a heroic, but lost, golden age of sailing ships that did not correspond to the maritime world that had once been a ubiquitous part of American life. This dissertation draws on American tonnage statistics, the writings of adventure-seeking young sailors, visual arts, and maritime preservation movements to illuminate how and why the Maritime Revival developed and matured between the Centennial and World War II. A conservative group of old-stock Americans believed seafaring represented essential American cultural values, and incorporated its symbols and aesthetics into a heritage movement. If initially engineered by eastern elites to insulate themselves from
social changes, the Maritime Revival's redefined image of seafaring appealed to middle- and working-class Americans. Many responded enthusiastically, and used it to participate in a culture cast as essentially American and patriotically important. Popular art, literature, historic ships, and museums celebrated square-riggers, and the romance and sublimity of the oceans. A variety of cultural forms, from fine arts to kitsch and advertisements, diffused the ideas of the Maritime Revival throughout American culture to people of all
social classes. Not every piece of cultural output associated with ships and the sea, nor every aspect of contemporary maritime industry, nor every mariner, were part of the Maritime Revival. Some Americans embraced modernizing marine worlds, but Maritime Revivalists looked backwards to lament a passing era and acted to preserve the material and intellectual culture of seafaring's past. In so doing, they helped ease their own transition into the modern world, and created popularized images of sailors, ships, and lifestyles that profoundly influenced how Americans remembered the maritime past for most of the twentieth century.

▼ Social studies, with its focus on
history, politics, and identity, provides an interesting site of analysis through which to examine the historical development of master or comprehensive narratives of the nation in Canadian curriculum documents. This research is focused on providing a historical critical discourse analysis of the development of the myths and meta-narratives of the nation as they appear within
social studies and
history curriculum documents in the province of Saskatchewan from the 1970s to 2008. As a historical critical discourse analysis, the research sought not only to provide explanation concerning the function of those discourses, but also draw connections between and provide explanation concerning the historical climate that gave rise to these particular discourses. The research provides useful information for examination of discourses of Canada and Canadian identity and offers critical suggestions for future curricular development. Working from the parameters set out by Tomkins (1986), the formal curriculum is the official state sanctioned program of study. The study is limited to the aims, goals, and learning outcomes as written in the official curriculum documents in the disciplines of
social studies and
history.

▼ A historical study of Bell's Hill, an older section of Southwest Waco, Texas, 1885-1955, reveals a complex community characterized by social/cultural, ethnic/racial, and economic diversity. From its early history when artesian wells attracted investors, Bell's Hill became a working-class community where industries located adjacent to the nearby railroad, attracted a growing, diverse population. Once there, residents built strong social institutions and developed neighborhoods that eventually included a sense of community. Beyond the perceived image of the working-class stereotype, there existed a multifaceted community comprised of well-defined neighborhoods. By studying this community, new insight emerges about to the impact of working-class communities, such as Bell's Hill, on the overall growth of the larger, urban places of Waco, Texas, and the industrial New South during the period under study.

▼ Historical empathy is a topic that is decades old in history education research, but has been stunted in it’s implementation due to a lack of conceptual clarity, and a lag in balanced research grounding the term. Also, classroom practices and pedagogy have had some implementation missteps that have encouraged over identification and unrestrained emotional engagement between students of history and historical agents. These missteps run counter to the practice of quality, unbiased historical inquiry. The goal of this research study is to contribute to the field and knowledge in area of historical empathy, and to provide knowledge that help practitioners avoid such missteps. This study intends to help stabilize the term, and to investigate the dual-process (affective and cognitive) nature of historical empathy engagement. Through investigates the different conceptualizations and frameworks, especially in digging deeper into students’ affective process in historical empathy engagement, this study intends to balance the field’s understanding of the affective process in a dual-process model. The findings highlight the areas where current knowledge was echoed, where research may be misunderstood or fall short, and where further research and study is needed.

▼ The Sentinel and Orange and Protestant Advocate was the organ of the Orange Order in Canada and spoke for the Lodge on a wide range of social and political issues. This thesis will examine the paper’s views on moral and religious questions and the major issues at the three levels of Canadian politics between 1877 and 1896.
The paper was published weekly in Toronto and distributed across North America, although the bulk of the circulation remained in Ontario. The Sentinel was published and edited by Edward Frederick Clarke, who also pursued a successful career at all three levels in Canadian politics and within the Order. The policy of the paper was to defend the Protestant religion and the Orange Order from criticism and the perceived aggression of its Roman Catholic opponents.
The Sentinel’s views on social questions were moderately conservative. The paper favoured voluntary temperance but rejected legislation as a solution to the alcohol question. The Sentinel was a strong proponent of the right of workers to organize trade unions and in this opinion different from most other newspapers of the day.
The Sentinel displayed a strong bias towards Toronto in dealing with municipal politics. The paper rarely endorsed candidates at the municipal level and only occasionally discussed the issues of city politics. When it did deal with municipal government the paper was generally moderate, rejecting the excesses of the Reform movement but urging effective measures to prevent corruption at city hall.
The Sentinel was faced with consistent failure in pressing its concerns at the provincial level in Ontario. The paper repeatedly attacked the policies of Liberal Premier Sir Oliver Mowat but met with no success in changing the pattern of Ontario’s politics, or in helping the Conservatives to replace Mowat’s Liberals. The paper’s strong support for the Conservatives was displayed most clearly in the dispute over liquor licensing but was to be found consistently in the Conservative camp. The Sentinel’s concerns at the provincial level were primarily sectarian and most notable among them was the failure of the Orange Lodge to gain incorporation and the complicated issues of separate schools. The paper advocated for the abolition of separate schools and urged that English be the language of instruction in all Ontario schools.
The Sentinel supported the Conservatives at the federal level in Canada. This support was apparent in the paper’s acceptance of the National Policy in all its facets. The Riel Rebellion of 1885 and the criticism directed at the Lodge in its aftermath hardened the paper’s attitude towards French Canada and set the stage for the sectarian disputes of the late 1880’s and the 1890’s. The Sentinel exercised a moderating influence on the Protestant movement in Canada in the crises surrounding the Jesuit Estates Act and the manitoba Schools question. In both cases the paper disagreed with the policy of government but refused to abandon the Conservatives for a new, all Protestant, party. Similarly, The Sentinel welcomed…

▼ In 1937 the strike at General Motors in Oshawa resulted in the first major victory for the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) in Canada. The president of the Oshawa local was Charles Millard (1896-1978), who subsequently played an influential role in most of the major developments in organized labour between 1937 and 1956. He was the first National Director of the Canadian branch of the United Steel Workers of America in 1943, a position which he retained until his retirement in 1956. Under his leadership the steelworkers’ union became a dominant force in the Canadian Congress of Labour (CCL), taking a very active role in political action initiatives, and achieving a number of strategic victories through strike action. Millard was personally involved in the creation of the CCL and its subsequent development. He was also very active in opposing the Communist faction within organized labour, and labored throughout his career to further the relationship between organized labour and the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF). Despite Millard’s many significant contributions during what was a formative period for both organized labour and the CCF, he has been mostly ignored. This thesis sketches Millard’s life, focusing on the major events in which he was involved.

▼ This study examines the evolution, function and role of London, Ontario's Western Fair Association. Spokespersons for the Western Fair proudly remind their listeners that the Fair is as old as Canada. During the period, 1867 to 1947, the Association grew from a one-event agricultural society into a sophisticated, multi-dimensional corporate entity with local, regional and international influence and significance.
Analysis of the Association's rise to prominence illustrates the Canadian public's changing relationship with modem technology. Initially, the Directors and promoters of the Western Fair incorporated the voice and authority of technological knowledge and advancement into the exhibitions, displays and competitions. By lending legitimacy to technological innovation and use as the motive force for social and economic improvement, the Association leaders and members hoped to create a blueprint for future prosperity. At the same time, these influential men sought to establish a prominent role for the Association, and the City of London, Ontario, in local, regional, provincial and international development. After the Great War, and especially after World War II, Canadians became increasingly disillusioned with the expanded incursion of technology in the workplace, schools and homes. While the Fair organizers continued to exhibit a positivist faith in technology, many people had valid reasons for rejecting these beliefs.
Although the leaders of the Fair Association played an active role in the dissemination of technological knowledge, their operations of and decisions about programming, scheduling competitions and judging, corporate structures and capital investment in the organization's plant and facilities also reveals much about southwestern Ontario's rapid industrial expansion, changing gender roles, increasing urbanization, rural depopulation and changing social and political cultures and attitudes. Throughout the discussion period, Western Fair Directors and members grappled with issues such as municipal funding, local plans for housing and recreational development, increasing urbanization, rural depopulation and the economic crisis of the 1930s. When Canada declared war on Germany in 1939, the Department of National Defence appropriated the entire plant and facilities of the Western Fair Association. No one involved with the Fair Association realized that this decision would bring an eight year halt to the Association's operations. Efforts to rebuild the Western Fair Association took place during 1944 through to 1947. Because of the strength and influence of enterprising Directors and supporters, the Western Fair Association was well positioned to reclaim its pre-war status as an agricultural, educational and recreational event centre.
At times, concepts and ideas about the social and economic benefits attributed to technological development were overshadowed by social, political and economic emergencies. However, the Association leaders persisted in the promotion of technological knowledge even as they…

▼ This study considers the industrial development and subsequent decline of the town of Indiana, Ontario, during the years 1830–1900, a period of intense socioeconomic change and population mobility. This dissertation applies interdisciplinary frameworks, especially those derived from archaeological inquiry, in order to assess the documentary evidence and also the material culture of nineteenth-century Indiana, in the interests of understanding both the historic process of rural industrialization by means of a case study and also the elusive processes of social and familial interaction in the Ontario towns caught up by the swirl of socioeconomic change during this period. How, and why, did a town of such promise reach its peak and then decline, in a short span of time between 1830 and 1900, especially when it was so well-positioned to succeed? Why did Indiana fail when other towns of the district succeeded?
Residents of what was, until the 1860s, the largest industrial town in Haldimand County, sustained complex relationships and alliances with employers, employees, family members, and the wider community, shaped by, and in turn affecting, the relations of class, gender, race, family, and age. Life in nineteenth century Ontario was based on these ever-widening and interrelated circles of membership and relationship. There were families that stayed together whenever possible for economic and social reasons, but there were also affiliations based on patron-client relationships, religion or race, as well as the less obvious connections with home and landscape. The Thompson family, headed in turn by David Thompson and his son David Thompson II, owned numerous businesses in Indiana and consequently were involved in many of these circles of relationship as these developed through the process of growth and expansion that, for several decades, characterized this town. This study of Indiana suggests that rural industrialization, as a larger transformative process in nineteenth-century Ontario, frequently entailed rapid growth followed by stasis, and, not infrequently, as Indiana’s case demonstrates, decline and disappearance. The data, both textual and artifactual, also support the notion of a fairly representative social hierarchy in the town, based on class and status as defined by occupation, personal wealth, and familial and community standing—all in relation to the male family head—but also delineated by race, religion, gender, age and country of origin.

▼ There has been very little scholarship in recent years which provides a detailed analysis of Christian support for the First World War in Canada. This work attempts to fill this gap with respect to the Presbyterian Church in Canada. It is a thorough analysis of the Presbyterian periodicals in war and peace between 1913 and 1919. The work is presented as a contribution to our understanding of Canada's Great War experience. One of the few academic articles which examined Protestant support for the war was the influential article 'The Methodist Church and World War I'. In this article, published in the Canadian Historical Review in 1968, Michael Bliss argues that the Methodist Church accepted what he regards as the 'paradox of fighting for peace because its leaders were misled about the nature and purposes of the war. This argument has been echoed in subsequent studies of Canadian attitude towards conflict and appears to be the most widely accepted view of church support for the First World War. More recent general studies of Canadian attitudes during the Great War have emerged, influenced by Fritz Fischer and the belief that Germany sought war in 1914 and pursued a policy to bring Europe under German control. Recent scholarship also suggests that Allied perceptions of German behaviour in Belgium and Northern France were largely correct. The four main periodicals for the Presbyterian Church in Canada were examined thoroughly over a period of six years and an attempt was made to read and include as many editorials articles, letters and other contributions which reflected Presbyterian opinion about the war. The changing pattern of Presbyterian discussion demonstrated a deliberate, intelligent and continuous effort to reconcile war and Christianity. The evidence would suggest that Presbyterians understood what was at stake and why they were fighting the war. They fought based on a perception of the enemy that was largely correct and for the principles of truth, righteousness and in defence of the weak. The war was just.
