Having just celebrated our twentieth anniversary, our students and faculty continue striving towards academic T excellence and progressive research. Our love of history and dedication to our craft propels our research, analy- sis, and claims about the past. With the integration of new ideas and historiographical concepts, our current editors, authors, and faculty have taken up the mantle of serious scholarship which constitutes The Vulcan Historical Review’s legacy. Our current issue perpetuates the attention to detail required by the historian, as well as the critical examination of complex historical situations. We have also chosen to continue our use of Birmingham’s iconic statue, the mighty Vulcan, for our cover, in solidarity with many previous issues. We again embraced debate amongst our scholars in an argumentative section pertaining to a controversial issue. In the wake of the contentious and divisive 2016 presidential election, we asked whether the United States should keep the Electoral College. The twenty-first edition of the journal additionally explores various different types of history in the hopes to expand scholarly consideration beyond nation- alistic endeavors; our featured sections include transnational comparisons of labor history, cultural history, European history, and localized history. Keeping with tradition, the journal ends with an invited essay and a book review. This journal could not have been possible without the support and advice of several knowledgeable and excellent people. Our deepest gratitude goes to the History Department of UAB for developing the honest, keen, and variegated interests of its students, and instilling the skills necessary to succeed in academia. We would like to thank our faculty advisor, Dr. John Van Sant, for his careful guidance, support, and kindness. Our gratitude goes to Dr. Colin Davis, our Department Chair, for earnestly supporting our publication and student research. Our special thanks must be extended to our administrative staff, Alisa Dick, our Office Service Specialist, and Melanie Daily, our Administrative Associate, without whom we could not have succeeded. Timothy Granger, Stephanie Womack, and Nadejda Bontcheva-Loyaga each deserve special mention for their counsel and help as previous members of The Vulcan Historical Review’s edito- rial staff. Our academic journal depends on the efforts of our students, both undergraduate and graduate alike, and to them, we extend our thanks. Our efforts would have proven fruitless if it had not been for the financial support of all of our sponsors, especially the Linney Family Endowment, Dr. Linda Lucas (Provost), Dr. Suzanne Austin (Vice Provost) and Dr. Robert Palazzo (Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences). Our heartfelt appreciation for all of our supporters can barely be expressed, but we hope that the continuation of the journal’s success will speak for us. Thank you all for the hard work, genuine encouragement, and unparalleled support. 7 AUT CONSILIIS AUT ENSLE / BY COUNCIL OR BY SWORD Should the United States Keep the Electoral College?

The following revisions have been made to data presented in the first (August) version of the dataset. 1002HC In the data definition section, the sub-heading read ‘Commentary on Bristol values:’ for all local authorities, so has been revised to ‘Commentary:’. The data and traffic lights were referring to the correct local authorities so are unchanged. 1044HC The second part of this indicator relates to 'Under 18s on adult wards that are 16 or 17'. This text was missing from the description for some local authorities but has now been added. 1043SC The bandings for some councils were previously increased by one band colour. They are now accurately coloured for all councils. The data is unchanged. 2022SC The bandings for all councils have now been uprated for 2006-07. The data is unchanged. 2037SC The denominator data has been revised to use section 47 data rather than conference data. The data may be revised downwards as a result. 2054SC The denominator data has been revised to exclude all the children listed in the definition.

  • Some Characteristics of Ethnic Identity
    Rajović G. – Some Characteristics of Ethnic Identity Cultural Anthropology Some Characteristics of Ethnic Identity Case Study: Migrants from Serbia and Montenegro to Denmark Goran Rajović1 Abstract. The following text is a contribution to the study of migration, in order to be closer to the main problems of contemporary migration flows from Serbia and Montenegro to Denmark, through the presentation of various data and results obtained in the current studies of the phenomenon of migration. Attention is paid to economic migration, with an emphasis on the characteristics of ethnic identity perceived from the point of view: family ritual practices associated with religious holidays, life cycle of an individual (birth, marriage, death), use of traditional foods, drinks, music and games in festive occasions, possession and use of objects from their homeland (inherited and acquired) with regard to the identity of the elements of traditional attitudes and practices of the respondents. Since the notion of ethnic identity complex, it is necessary to considered in the more theoretical approach or framework. Therefore, there are two interpretations: one given by the respondents, and other researchers. Serbian and Montenegrin communities of migrants, although not many (about 8,000), is interesting for researchers, because in the middle of Denmark that is economically dependent, maintained their ethnic or social identity. Key words: Migrants, Serbia and Montenegro, Denmark, ethnic identity. Introduction Serbia and Montenegro have traditionally emigration areas. According Baščarević (2011), the first major wave of emigration occurred in the early twentieth century, has continued especially after the Second World War, and primarily motivated by political and economic reasons.

  • Martina Baleva the Heroic Lens: Portrait Photography of Ottoman
    MARtiNA BALEVA THE HEROic LENS: PORTRAit PHOTOGRAPHY OF OttOMAN INSURGENTS IN THE NiNETEENTH-CENTURY BAlkANS—TYPES AND USES “In front of the lens, I am at the same time: the one I think I am, the one I want others to think I am.” (Roland Barthes) In his essay on the constitutive role of photography in the construction of collective identities in nineteenth-century Romania, the photohistorian Adrian-Silvan Ionescu identifies a genre of photographic portraits as representations of “Bulgarian national heroes.”1 Unfortunately, Ionescu leaves open the question of what exactly he means by this term, and he does not give a visual example of this photographic genre. Indeed, a large number of portrait photographs of Ottoman Bulgarians posed in a “heroic” manner exist, all made in the second half of the nineteenth century in Romanian photography studios. Many of them are today an integral part of the Bul- garian historical tradition, and they have become deeply imprinted onto the visual memories of generations as a testimony to and documentation of the Bulgarian national movement against Ottoman rule (c. 1396–1878). Not a single history book has failed to reproduce them, and they hang in every school and public building. Even the uniforms of the National Guard today are influenced by this photographic genre, which Ionescu would later accurately sum up as the “Bulgarian national hero.” It is obvious that Ionescu did not derive the term from this particular “heroic” pictorial tradition but from another kind of photographic genre: “Oriental-type” photography. More exactly, Ionescu has very likely borrowed it from the title of a photograph taken by the famous Viennese photographer Ludwig Angerer (1827–1879) during the Crimean War (1853–1856), probably in Bucharest (fig.
