Instead, I am retiring from teaching only, and will be on a bridge to retirement, working three— fourths time, with an option to continue my bridge for a second year. The department faculty support me in this, and I look forward to another great year. This past year we welcomed Dr. Jose Torre to the department, and Carl Almer joined us as our second two—year Presidential Fellow. We are also delighted that our first Presidential Fellow, Dr. Carl Davila, will return to us in the fall as an associate professor, after a national search. Dr. Davila and Dr. Nishiyama were responsible for organizing one of the department’s most significant events of the academic year, the highly successful international conference to mark the 30th anniversary of the publication of Edward Said’s Orientalism, an enormously influential book. Other history faculty in the news were Dr. Anne Macpherson and Dr. Paul Moyer, whose books were featured in the Democrat & Chronicle, and who also gave talks to local groups. I am very proud of all our professors, who are dedicated to teaching, but also find time for a multitude of other activities, both Dr. Lloyd with Amy Piccareto at the Historyscholarly, Honors Ceremony and in the College and community, and I wish I had the space to list them all. -
Documenting Democracy
DOCUMENTING DEMOCRACY 1964-2004 National Historical Publications & Records Commission George Washington at the outposts of Valley Forge. The University of Virginia is publishing a comprehensive edition of the papers written by or to the Revolutionary War general and first President of the United States. 2 Forty years ago in November 1964, the National Historical Publications Records Commission awarded its first grants for projects to further public understanding of American history, democracy, and culture. That remarkable day was the culmination of over 140 years of debate over the proper role of the national government in preserving and making public our documentary heritage. The Commission was founded in 1934 as part of the National Archives, but for most of those early years, because of the Depression and World War II, it rarely met. In 1950 President Harry S. Truman received a copy of the first volume of the Papers of Thomas Jefferson, and was so impressed that he urged the Commission to discuss in earnest the needs of the field, particularly in regard to historical publications. In the early 1960s, Congress and the Kennedy administration took the next evolutionary step in appropriating actual funds for the purposes of awarding grants. By 1974, the Commission began funding state and local archival projects, and to date, it has awarded over 4,000 grants and $163 million for projects across the country. The idea behind Federal funding is to make the Commission a true bridge between the archives and records held by the Federal Government at the National Archives and the records and collections of the states, municipalities, and nongovernmental organizations across the nation, and indeed, around the world. -

The New World Neighbors Series and Inter-American Education During World War II
TEXTBOOK DIPLOMACY: The New World Neighbors series and Inter-American Education during World War II Breanne Robertson, Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Art History and Archaeology, University of Maryland Between 1941 and 1944 the publishing firm D.C. Heath and Company produced a line of twenty social studies textbooks. The stated purpose of these volumes, titled The New World Neighbors series, was to introduce the “history and spirit” of Latin American cultures to United States schoolchildren.1 Brief introductions provide a basic overview of the geography, climate, natural resources, industries, and indigenous populations of each country, while one or more short stories, based loosely on historical fact and local custom, aim to familiarize and endear young readers to their Latin American counterparts. For example, Along the Inca Highway sent United States schoolchildren on a virtual journey to South America. Published in 1941 as one of the first eight volumes in The New World Neighbors series, the textbook contains three short stories drawn from Peruvian history. To aid readers in their imaginary travels through time and space, author Alida Malkus frames these stories with an airplane trip from Panama. Students learn about the flourishing precontact Inca Empire, the Spanish conquest led by the “ruthless conquistador” Francisco Pizarro, and the “deeds of the great Liberator” Simón Bolívar. Similar in tone and format to other books in the series, Along the Inca Highway celebrates indigenous cultural achievements, underscores the injustices of Spanish colonialism, and highlights Latin Americans’ revolutionary actions and modern republican spirit. In so doing, the book assimilates Latin Americans to a United States ideal of American-ness and fosters a sense of unity across the American continents. -
The Inter-American Commission of Women: a New International Venture
The Inter-American Commission of Women: A New International Venture By MUNA LEE Few international questions present such conflicting and perplexing aspects as that of the nationality of women. It is a modern question, because only within the last generation or so have women, generally speaking, begun to travel widely and carry on diverse activities in a complex and ever-changing world. Women might lose their nationality fifty years ago, as indeed they did often, without ever becoming aware of the fact. Not only were they less likely to leave their own country, but they were less likely to marry foreigners. Now they have been forced into a rude awareness of the completely chaotic conditions of existing nationality laws. A woman may find herself possessing several nationalities or none! In some countries, a married woman takes the nationality of her husband in all cases. Sometimes, she loses her nationality on marrying a foreigner, providing that her husband’s country gives her her nationality. Again, she loses it only if she goes to her husband’s country to live, and if that country gives her his nationality. In other countries, the law works both ways: a native woman who marries a foreigner takes his nationality; a foreign woman who marries a native man takes his nationality. But in still others the law works only one way. In other cases, which give rise to lamentable and even tragic situations, a woman has no nationality. An Englishwoman, for example, married to an Argentine, ceases to enjoy British nationality according to British law, but does not become Argentine by Argentine law; she is cast off by her own country and not accepted by her husband’s.
