The members of the Executive Council of the WHA and I are delighted that so many of you have been able to join us. We are looking forward to many splendid panels and roundtables over the next two days, as colleagues explore in myriad ways the dual conference themes of ‘Art in World History’, and ‘Revolutions, Rebellions and Revolts’. We are also honored that Professor Candice Goucher of Washington State University, Vancouver, will present this year’s Keynote Address, appropriately titled ‘Living in a Material World: Memory and Meaning in Crucibles and Cooking Pots’. Savannah has a long and rich history. Founded in 1733, Savannah was the British colonial capital of the Province of Georgia, and as the southernmost port of the Thirteen Colonies, played a key role in the American Revolutionary War. After independence Savannah became a prosperous seaport, which made it a prime target for General William T. Sherman’s ‘March to the Sea’ during the US Civil War. In December 1864 city authorities negotiated terms of surrender with Union forces, which saved the city from destruction. Savannah today is a thriving seaport that attracts millions of visitors each year because of its superbly preserved historical and architectural districts. Of particular interest to a former professional musician like me is the fact that native son Johnny Mercer was inspired to write the lyrics to the song ‘Moon River’ by memories of the beautiful Savannah waterways he grew up beside! In my President’s letter written for last year’s Costa Rica conference I noted that we were then at a pivotal moment in the history of the WHA. After many years in Hawai’i, the WHA was about to move its headquarters to Northeastern University in Boston. Now, one year later, I am delighted to report that the transition has gone very smoothly indeed, mostly because we were so fortunate in engaging Kerry Vieira as the new Administrative Coordinator/Executive Director of the WHA. Kerry, with the assistance of NU graduate student Malcolm Purinton (thank you Malcolm!), has worked tirelessly for the WHA since she started with us in October last year. We now have a superbly organized office at Northeastern University where Kerry presides efficiently and energetically over the affairs of the WHA, professionally handling our finances, communications, conference planning and a host of other matters. As President I could not be more grateful to Kerry for her enormous contribution, and more pleased with how smoothly the transition from Hawai’i to Boston has been handled. In closing, I would like to also thank all members of the WHA Executive Council, particularly my fellow officers VP Rick Warner, Secretary (and Conference Program Committee Chair) Maryanne Rhett, and Treasurer Carolyn Neel, for their hard work and support. Collectively, our Secretariat in Boston and our elected representatives all over the world constitute a formidable team that has carried the WHA through a major transition to our current status of ‘business as usual’, with the prospect of continuing stability and success in the years ahead. Again, welcome to this fascinating part of the United States, and to a conference that I know will reward attendees with a feast of intellectual and cultural experiences.

  • The Slave Trade from Madagascar to Jamaica
    Justin Dunnavant Fall 2012 Africana Bibliography Dr. Dan Reboussin From the Forgotten Shores: The Slave Trade from Madagascar to Jamaica The topic of slavery is very broad but there are considerably less sources when discussing the slave trade from Southeast Africa and, more specifically, from Madagascar to Jamaica. Initial searches for “Madagascar, slave trade, and Jamaica” yielded few results thus I had to redefine and broaden my search terms in addition to diversifying my databases and search engines. I found it useful to research aspects of the trade separately as opposed to all of those terms together. Once I narrowed down a time period (1671- 1719) I was able to search early Madagascar and slave trade history, then early Jamaican history. Searching databases for Madagascar and Jamaica separately greatly increased my search results and ability to find pertinent information. References 1. African Bibliography 2012 Manchester, England: Manchester University Press. Annual 1985-2012. Accessed, 2 December 2012. http://www.africabibliography.cambridge.org/ The African Biography is an extension of Cambridge University’s International African Initiative and features references to all articles published under their aegis. I searched “slave trade Madagascar” and was surprised that it offered journal articles that previous searches on OneSearch and Google Scholar failed to yield. All of my searches led me to articles no earlier than 2003 making this an excellent database for getting the most up-to- date references. Additionally the database is easily navigable with the ability to filter search results by county, region, subject, publication date, author, and document type. These same filters are also available for general browsing making it much easier than browsing other databases.

  • Daniel Defoe Was Born Is Presumed to Have Been Born in the Fall of 1660
    Chapter 1 London’s Birchin Lane is a short and narrow street, running north-south between the larger Cornhill and Lombard streets. Known in the Middle Ages for its collection of secondhand clothing shops, it eventually became home to several fine men’s clothiers, a destination where men of distinction could pick up something special: a whalebone doublet, perhaps, or a “captain’s suit . stuffed with points, and a pair of velvet slops scored thick with lace.” By the 18th century, it was also home to Old Tom’s Coffee House, which would gain fame by the end of the century for being a hangout of the famous Shakespearean actor, David Garrick. But in 1729, it hosted a no less interesting figure, the rather curious and shadowy Robert Drury. Across town, the famous author Daniel Defoe, widely considered the inventor of the realistic or historical novel, and working under the alias Andrew Moreton Esq., toils over what will be his final work, Second Thoughts Are Best: or, a Further Improvement of a Late Scheme to Prevent Street Robberies. Drury’s story was precisely of the type that most appealed to Defoe and, considering the proximity, there’s little doubt that the famous author had already paid Drury a visit well before his residency at Old Tom’s. * * * Now forty-two years old, Drury sits in Old Tom’s with a mug of coffee, a pile of books on the table in front of him. It’s a closed-in place, full of chatter, laughter, and barracking. Men sip coffee and read their expensive newspapers or listen for fresh news coming up from the boys sent to the docks for that purpose.

  • When the Periphery Became More Central: from Colonial Pact to Liberal Nationalism in Brazil and Mexico, 1800-1914 Steven Topik
    When the Periphery Became More Central: From Colonial Pact to Liberal Nationalism in Brazil and Mexico, 1800-1914 Steven Topik Introduction The Global Economic History Network has concentrated on examining the “Great Divergence” between Europe and Asia, but recognizes that the Americas also played a major role in the development of the world economy. Ken Pomeranz noted, as had Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and Karl Marx before him, the role of the Americas in supplying the silver and gold that Europeans used to purchase Asian luxury goods.1 Smith wrote about the great importance of colonies2. Marx and Engels, writing almost a century later, noted: "The discovery of America, the rounding of the Cape, opened up fresh ground for the rising bourgeoisie. The East-Indian and Chinese markets, the colonisation of America [north and south] trade with the colonies, ... gave to commerce, to navigation, to industry, an impulse never before known. "3 Many students of the world economy date the beginning of the world economy from the European “discovery” or “encounter” of the “New World”) 4 1 Ken Pomeranz, The Great Divergence , Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2000:264- 285) 2 Adam Smith in An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776, rpt. Regnery Publishing, Washington DC, 1998) noted (p. 643) “The colony of a civilized nation which takes possession, either of a waste country or of one so thinly inhabited, that the natives easily give place to the new settlers, advances more rapidly to wealth and greatness than any other human society.” The Americas by supplying silver and “by opening a new and inexhaustible market to all the commodities of Europe, it gave occasion to new divisions of labour and improvements of art….The productive power of labour was improved.” p.

This project centers on the Free D.C. Movement, a political crusade to fully enfranchise Washingtonians, through grassroots organizing and by pressuring the Federal government to address the political, social, and economic ills that plagued the nation’s capital for nearly a century. Washingtonians’ struggle for full political enfranchisement was one of the most significant goals and significant shortcomings of the 20th century. ii Washington has been an under-researched part of Civil Rights Movement history, even though the city had an instrumental role during this era. My project explores the “Free D.C.” Movement through the lens of residential segregation, employment, and education. I examine how the desire for institutional changes and improvements in these areas helped shape and direct the local movement, and consequently undermined Washington, D.C.

  • Kendall Weir Annotated Bibliography
    Kendall Weir May 14, 2010 Dr. Angel David Nieves AFRST 301W Annotated Bibliography “A True Survivor’s Story?” National Geographic, January 1999, 1. There is no author listed under the article; the article is essentially just a paragraph in the first few pages of this issue of National Geographic. It is placed as if there is a lengthier follow up later in the magazine, but there is not. The article’s main purpose seems like it is just to get someone thinking about the story of Robert Drury. This is probably the most mainstream location there is any mention of Robert Drury—you can find National Geographic through a simple google search, rather than multiple searches and narrowing down in specific databases. I am using this article just as much for the material as for the images. The article backs up that Daniel Defoe was most likely just the editor of the journal. It also quotes Michael Parker Pearson, someone who I have found is a main supporter of the journal, saying “We’ve been to places he described—the rivers, the mountains—and corroborated traditional practices he described that are still in place today.” Moreover, the author points out that Pearson’s team found parts that most likely belonged to Drury’s ship-- the Degrave. The drawing that goes along with this article is a depiction of Drury being held captive by a few Africans, along with other whites in the background. Weir 2 This article is successful in supporting the accuracy of Drury’s journal in a simple paragraph, but most of the evidence stems from Pearson’s discoveries.
