Our books engage theory without losing touch with history and work historically without falling into uncritical positivism. FlashPoints aims for a broad audience within the humanities and the social sciences concerned with moments of cultural emergence and transformation. In a Benjaminian mode, FlashPoints is interested in how literature contributes to forming new constellations of culture and history and in how such formations function critically and politically in the present.

  • A Preliminary History of Admiralty Island: 1794-1942
    A PRELIMINARY HISTORY OF ADMIRALTY ISLAND: 1794 - 1942 BARRY RODERICK Box #748 Douglas, Alaska PREFACE This preliminary history of Admiralty Island was assemb l ed under contract for the U.S. Forest Service between September 1981 and August 1982. It covers a restricted era and area , in fulfillment of the contract -- "to provide an overview of the historic era of human occupation on Admira lty Island National Monument ... t he historic l and and resource patterns from the earliest contact with Caucasian explorers t hroug h the CCC era. 11 Time and funding limits for t hi s project essenti al ly provided for only a document search in Juneau (see Appendix I) . Th erefore, the following paper is in no way definitive. Documentation of the use of Admiralty Island falls into three phases -- ethno-archeographic , historic and politico-economic. The U.S. Forest Service contract specified a history of Admiralty Island from 1794-1942 . Overlap of these three categories occurs even with this project's limited scope. For examp l e, when do traditional Native even ts become hi storic? Do the clan wars of the Mid-1800' s that involved the Kootznoowoo Tlingi t belong in this paper? The Shelling of Angoon in 1882 ce rtainly doe s -­ beca use of the wea 1th of documentation of the event. Undoubtedly, t he clan wars would also belong in this paper; however, the ever-present time and funding limitations prevented the amount of documentation that would place them in a historical context -- as distinct from an ethno­ archeographic tradition.

  • Veracruz and the Caribbean in the Seventeenth Century
    VERACRUZ AND THE CARIBBEAN IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY by J.M.H. Clark A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland September, 2016 © 2016 Joseph Michael Hopper Clark All Rights Reserved Abstract of the Dissertation This dissertation examines the relationship between the Mexican port city of Veracruz and Caribbean in the seventeenth century. Drawing evidence from archival research conducted primarily in Mexico and Spain, I argue that Veracruz was part of a coherent urban system in the early modern Caribbean. Its first chapter uses early chronicles and conquest narratives, archived correspondence of Veracruz’s town council (cabildo), hospital records, and traveler accounts to examine Veracruz’s environmental struggles from the city’s foundation in 1519 until the end of the seventeenth century. Chapter Two builds on a database of import and export tax duties assessed in the ports of Veracruz and Havana to argue that Veracruz was part of a discrete regional trading network that followed patterns that were independent of the transatlantic silver fleet. The third chapter reassesses Veracruz’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, showing that the African captives who arrived in the city were a larger and more diverse group than previous studies have acknowledged. A particular contribution is the use of previously unused Mexican archival sources for the transatlantic slave trade. Chapter Four evaluates the ethnic and religious acculturation of African and free-black communities in Veracruz using the lens of a religious borderland. The final chapter examines how Veracruz’s role in colonial defenses changed over the course of the seventeenth century.
