Mr. Trump goes to Helsinki

History News Network 

"My American friends are asking me about President Trumps’s observation that the British ‘like him’;  I regret this is quite unfounded. The explanation for this canard is that Trump is pronoid. Pronoid is the opposite of paranoid. A paranoid person thinks, without any basis in reality, that everybody  is out to get them. A pronoid person is someone who thinks, without any basis in reality, that everybody likes them. The fact is that the British loathe Donald Trump. This is because he is the polar... Читать дальше...

Bloody Shakespeare

History News Network 

    In William Shakespeare’s play Titus Andronicus, the hero’s daughter, Lavinia, is brutally raped in an act of revenge. Then her assailants cut off her hands. Then they cut out her tongue. She staggers out of the woods where she is raped, covered in blood, unable to speak, and is barely able to move.

Mexicans Made America—Why Do We Treat Them Like Alien Invaders?

History News Network 

Mexicans have contributed to making the United States in pivotal and enduring ways. In 1776, more of the territory of the current United States was under Spanish sovereignty than in the 13 colonies that rejected British rule. Florida, the Gulf coast to New Orleans, the Mississippi to St. Louis, and the lands from Texas through New Mexico and California all lived under Spanish rule, setting Hispanic-Mexican legacies. Millions of pesos minted in Mexico City, the American center of global finance... Читать дальше...



Review of Chris Wickham’s “Medieval Europe”

History News Network 

How times change. Thirty years ago, Chris Wickham was a rising young medieval historian calling for “a new Marxist theory of the complexities of socio-economic change” in the pages of the New Left Review.  Now, judging from his latest work, Medieval Europe, he has given up not only on Marxism, but on any theory or mode of analysis whatsoever.  All suffer, he believes, from the sin of teleology, the notion that history is imbued with a logic, goal, or purpose.  Historians who study the Middle Ages...

Want to Understand American Slavery?

History News Network 

Brazilian slaves harvesting sugar 

Scholars of American slavery have increasingly looked at bondage in other slave societies as a way to better understand their own. Firsthand study in another former slave society can prove particularly useful. In summer 2016, I had the opportunity to study slavery and slave resistance in northeast Brazil as part of a Fulbright-Hays Group Project Award team hosted by the University of Detroit Mercy. This included meeting and learning from Brazilian scholars... Читать дальше...

New Zealand Is Giving Environmentalists a Reason to Be Hopeful

History News Network 

Monument to the Save Manapouri campaign in Manapouri, New Zealand

In the environmental sphere, people often talk of tipping points, the point at which the environment changes from one stable state to another new state, often abruptly, causing significant disruption. I believe that New Zealand could be on the cusp of a tipping point – not in the state of its environment, but rather, in terms of New Zealanders’ awareness of the gravity of environmental issues we face and the need to make meaningful interventions.

Perhaps Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg Should Not Have Dropped Out of Harvard

History News Network 

The full-page ad that Facebook recently ran (May 26) in the Wall Street Journal was a history teacher’s dream. However, rather than taking out the expensive ad, the social media giant might have simply sent a message to its over 2 billion users and held a press conference, advocating forcefully for the study of the humanities, especially for history. In this era of high falsehood and fakery, clearly the American citizen seeking truth needs to understand and adopt the historian’s mindset.

The GOP Shouldn’t Be Shocked that Its Voters Are in the Tank for Trump

History News Network 

From his statements about Mexican rapists, murderers, and infestation, to his action on the Southern border, to his call for a ban on Muslim immigration, to his remark about good people on both sides in Charlottesville, Donald Trump has been the face of white racism. From his 2016 campaign to the current administration, he has appealed to white people fearful of a country changing its racial color. The political vehicle enabling Trump’s rise to power has been the Republican Party. How could that have happened? Читать дальше...

Why Trump's Crassness Matters

History News Network 

In an earlier essay I identified crassness as President Trump’s chief characteristic. Now, after his mid-July trip to Europe and press accusations that he acted crassly toward German Chancellor Angela Merkel and British Prime Minister Theresa May, we need to consider why this crass behavior is important.

A Play About Senior Citizens Coming to Terms with Their Pasts

History News Network 

It is early in the morning in a Florida retirement community and a naked Abigail, 58, is wrapped in a sheet, desperately looking for her clothes after spending the night with a man whom she met at his wife’s funeral. Ugh. Awful. Well, there are circumstances to the story. The late wife was cheating on the husband, Angus, and had been for quite a while. He wasn’t enamored by Abigail as much as he was angry at his wife and took out some revenge by sleeping with Abigail.

Review of Beverly Gray's “Seduced by Mrs. Robinson: How ‘The Graduate’ Became the Touchstone of a Generation”

History News Network 

Exactly 50 years ago this spring, back when the Academy Awards mattered at least a little, five movies were in the running for the Oscar for Best Picture.  Several of them were obviously products of the late ‘60s zeitgeist, focused on race and violence.  The winner, “In the Heat of the Night” featured Rod Steiger as a racist Southern sheriff who grudgingly comes to some sort of enlightenment when his first suspect in a murder case, a visiting black Philadelphia detective played by Sidney Poitier, helps solves the crime with him.

Remember the Berlin Airlift?

History News Network 

It was seventy years ago this summer when West Berlin faced starvation from a blockade by the Soviet Union. America's heroic response to that crisis gives us hope to feed the hungry in conflict zones across the globe today.Imagine if the roads, rails and waterways into your hometown were suddenly cut off by enemy troops. No supplies could move in under such a blockade. Soon there would be no food, gas, medicine, or anything else you need for daily life.  You would have an emergency within days. Читать дальше...

A number of Indian cities likeSimla, Bangalore and Chennai are facing a future without assured water supply. Water shortages are not the only environmental challenge confronting Indian cities, affecting the daily lives of millions of people.

Did His Wife Doom His Monarchy?

History News Network 

This year marks the centenary of one of the defining events of the early 20th century. In the early morning of July 17, 1918, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, his wife Tsarina Alexandra, their four daughters and son, along with their physician and three servants, were herded into the cellar of the merchant house in Yekaterinburg where they’d been held captive and executed. It was the final, fatal blow to three hundred years of Romanov rule.

The Overlooked Irony of the Red Hen Restaurant Incident

History News Network 

Recently, Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked to leave the Red Hen, a small farm to table restaurant in Lexington, Virginia. After exiting quietly, Sanders unleashed a very uncivil right-wing outrage machine. She spread news of the incident via Twitter, leading Fox News and even the President to denounce the establishment. The restaurant had to shut down for more than a week in reaction to picketing and online harassment, ranging from death threats to hundreds of negative reviews on Yelp.

If We’re Going to Use Fire as a Metaphor in Politics, Let’s Get It Right

History News Network 

In his recent interview with Rolling Stone, in which he renounced his membership in the Republican Party, Steven Schmidt concluded that the task before us resembles a fire. "A forest fire is part of a natural cycle of the forest. The forest burns, and through its burning and destruction, it is regenerated and made healthy again." Before political restoration, "there must be a season of burning."
