  • The Deep Roots of Rebellion: Evidence from the Irish Revolution∗
    The Deep Roots of Rebellion: Evidence from the Irish Revolution∗ Gaia Narciso Battista Severgnini Trinity College Dublin Copenhagen Business School September 14, 2017 Abstract This paper studies how cultural norms shaped by negative historical shocks can explain con- flicts in the long-run. Exploiting a unique dataset constructed from historical archives, we test whether the Irish Famine (1845-1850), one of the most lethal starvation in history, changed po- litical attitudes and contributed to the Irish Revolution (1913-1921). First, we investigate the determinants of joining the rebellion movement on the basis of the 1911 Irish Census and the official lists of rebels. We find that rebels are more likely to be male, young, catholic and literate. Second, we explore whether the famine played a role in the probability of joining rebellion activ- ities. Controlling for the level of economic development and other potential concurring factors, we provide evidence in support of the famine's inter-generational legacy of rebellion. JEL classification: Z10, F51, N53, N44. Keywords: conflict, cultural values, inter generational transmission, Great Famine, Irish revo- lution. ∗We would like to thank Philipp Ager, Dan Bogart, Steve Broadberry, Davide Cantoni, Matteo Cervellati, Gregory Clark, Giacomo De Giorgi, Peter Sandholt Jensen, Ronan Lyons, Laura McAtackney, Moti Michaeli, Tara Mitchell, Carol Newman, Nathan Nunn, Cormac O´ Grada, Kevin O'Rourke, Jared Rubin, Paul Sharp as well as seminar participants at Trinity College Dublin, Copenhagen Business School, Hohenheim, the conference Long-Run Perspectives on Crime and Conflict in Belfast, 5th Workshop of the fRDB Fellows and Affiliates in Bologna, the Odense FRESH meeting, the ASREC 2017 in Boston, the EEA Congress in Lisbon and the EHES Conference in T¨ubingen.

  • Rehtinking Resistance: Race, Gender, and Place in the Fictive and Real Geographies of the American West
    REHTINKING RESISTANCE: RACE, GENDER, AND PLACE IN THE FICTIVE AND REAL GEOGRAPHIES OF THE AMERICAN WEST by TRACEY DANIELS LERBERG DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Texas at Arlington May 2016 Arlington, Texas Supervising Committee: Stacy Alaimo, Supervising Professor Neill Matheson Christopher Morris Kenneth Roemer Cedrick May, Texas Christian University Abstract Rethinking Resistance: Race, Gender, and Place in the Fictive and Real Geographies of the American West by Tracey Daniels Lerberg, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2016 Supervising Professor: Stacy Alaimo This project traces the history of the American West and its inhabitants through its literary, cinematic and cultural landscape, exploring the importance of public and private narratives of resistance, in their many iterations, to the perceived singular trajectory of white masculine progress in the American west. The project takes up the calls by feminist and minority scholars to broaden the literary history of the American West and to unsettle the narrative of conquest that has been taken up to enact a particular kind of imaginary perversely sustained across time and place. That the western heroic vision resonates today is perhaps no significant revelation; however, what is surprising is that their forward echoes pulsate in myriad directions, cascading over the stories of alternative voices, that seem always on the verge of slipping away from our collective memories, of ii being conquered again and again, of vanishing. But a considerable amount of recovery work in the past few decades has been aimed at revising the ritualized absences in the North American West to show that women, Native Americans, African Americans, Mexican Americans and other others were never absent from this particular (his)story.

  • Making a Way out of No Way: Zora
    ABSTRACT “‘Making a Way Out of No Way’: Zora Neale Hurston’s Hidden Discourse of Resistance” explores how Hurston used techniques she derived from the trickster tradition of African American folk culture in her narratives in order to resist and undermine the racism of the dominant discourse found in popular literature published during her lifetime. Critics have condemned her perceived willingness to use racist stereotypes in her work in order to pander to a white reading audience. This project asserts that Hurston did, indeed, don a “mask of minstrelsy” to play into her reading public’s often racist expectations in order to succeed as an academic and as a creative writer. At the same time, however, she crafted her narratives in a way that destabilized those expectations through use of sometimes subtle and sometimes blatant points of resistance. In this way, she was able to participate in a system that was rigged against her, as a woman and as an African American, by playing into the expectations of her audiences for economic and professional advantages while simultaneously undermining aspects of those expectations through rhetorical “winks,” exaggeration, sarcasm, and other forms of humor that enabled her to stay true to her personal values. While other scholars have examined Hurston’s discourse of resistance, this project takes a different approach by placing Hurston’s material in relation to the publishing climate at the time. Chapter One examines Mules and Men in the context of the revisions Hurston made to her scholarly work to transform her collection of folktales into a cohesive book marketed to a popular reading audience.
