To them I owe very personal and professional debts, and I am pleased to publicly recognize their efforts. First are the several faculty that oversaw my studies, which extended over several years. Dr. R. Douglas Hurt, former director of the Agricultural History and Rural Studies (AHRS) Program and former editor of Agricultural History , was the original chair of my committee and directed my studies while I was in residence at Iowa State University. With my earlier graduate studies at Texas Tech University having been in museum science, I learned much of the craft of being a professional historian and writer from him. After Hurt’s departure from the department, Dr. Pamela Riney-Kehrberg, his successor and current director of the AHRS Program, stepped in to advise me from several hundred miles away. To both I owe a debt of gratitude for helping mold the historian inside and pushing me to complete this endeavor. Several faculty members in the History Department at Iowa State University aided my advancement and, at times, served on my committee. Those who I recall with fondness and who made suggestions toward research papers and material that I incorporated in this work include Alan I Marcus, Dennis M. P. McCarthy, James Whitaker, Jerry Garcia, Amy Bix, Hamilton Cravens, and Joseph Taylor III. It was most gratifying that the collective faculty thought enough of me and my work to award me the Garst Dissertation Fellowship in Spring 2005, even though I had not been in residence for several years. I also want to express thanks to my classmates in the several seminars I completed while at Iowa State University, who offered their comments and criticisms on my work. As I completed my coursework and began studying for my comprehensive exams, I had the extraordinary opportunity to become the first agricultural historian for the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum, a curatorial position in my chosen career field. I have been blessed to have extraordinary support from the administration and my colleagues. Former director Mac Harris and my immediate supervisor, Chief Curator Toni Laumbach, who graciously consented to my taking a part-time leave for the semester when I held the Garst Fellowship. I am personally appreciative of Laumbach’s words of encouragement and understanding, particularly in the final push to complete this project. Several co-workers and vii friends at the Museum were also inspirational and persuaded me to carry on with my doctoral studies on the “nights and weekends” plan. Notable among them were Robert Hart, Leslie Bergloff, Holly Radke, and several of our wonderful volunteers. The professionalism and success of a relatively new museum is due in large part to the staff, which have become my family away from home. I am grateful that I have been able to secure such a wonderful and rewarding position as my first career job. My finishing this project would not have been possible without the aid of many people in various institutions from Iowa to Arizona. This includes the staff of the Lubbock County Historical Collection (now part of the American Museum of Agriculture in Lubbock, Texas), the Southwest Collection at Texas Tech University, and the librarians and archivists at Iowa State University, Texas A&M University, Arizona State University, and New Mexico State University. Their contributions of knowledge and know-how were useful in securing resources and materials for this dissertation. Many thanks must go to family and friends who supported me even at a distance, whether I was in Ames or Las Cruces. The most thanks go to my parents, Julia and Ted (who works for a cotton module truck company), for their weekly phone calls and encouragement. I also very much appreciate my brother Justin, his wife Mary, and my niece Isabelle for their interest and support. I have also benefited from the support of many friends, including Deborah Bigness, Leslie Bergloff, Christine Carl, and Ellen Atkinson Stump, who always said that I would get through this one way or another. My interest in this subject began with my thesis research at Texas Tech University in the 1990s. In developing a material culture/technology history of cotton farming on the Texas South Plains, I reconnected to my own family heritage. I am the grandson of two West Texas farm families, J. C. and Helen Flournoy of Crosbyton and Leon and Ruby Saffell of Meadow. Although my grandfather Saffell died when I was young, the rest of my grandparents passed away during the years I worked on this project. I have always felt their presence and believe they would be pleased to know that I am honoring them among the numerous families who are the farmers of the Cotton West. I dedicate this dissertation to their memory. viii ABSTRACT During the early twentieth century American cotton-producing areas rapidly expanded beyond the “Old South” cotton belt, an area extending from Virginia to East Texas.

  • Roots of Human Resistance to Animal Rights: Psychological and Conceptual Blocks
    Roots of Human Resistance to Animal Rights: Psychological and Conceptual Blocks © Steven J. Bartlett 8 Animal L. 143 (2002) Publish Date: 2002 Place of Publication: http://www.animallaw.info/articles/arussbartlett2002.htm Roots of Human Resistance to Animal Rights: Psychological and Conceptual Blocks Animal law has focused attention on such interconnected issues as the property status of nonhuman animals, juristic personhood, and standing. These subjects are undeniably central concerns that dominate discussions of animal rights, but they do not relate to the most fundamental factors that are responsible both for human resistance to animal rights and for our species' well-entrenched, cruel, and self-righteous exploitation and destruction of nonhuman animals. In this comment, the author reviews recent advocacy of animal rights and offers the first study of human psychological and conceptual blocks that stand in the way of efforts on behalf of animal law and legislation. Paying long overdue attention to these obstacles provides a realistic framework for evaluating the effectiveness of attempts to initiate meaningful change. I am in favour of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being. -- Abraham Lincoln I. INTRODUCTION: ANIMALS AS PROPERTY--IS THIS THE PROBLEM? Animals are property. These three words--and their legal implications and practical ramifications--define the most significant doctrines and cases . and the realities for current practitioners of animal law. [FN1] For many people in our society, the concept of legal rights for other animals is quite "unthinkable." That is because our relationship with the majority of animals is one in which we exploit them: we eat them, hunt them and use them in a variety of ways that are harmful to the animals.

  • FRUIT of the LOOM' Cotton and Muslin in South Asia
    1 ‘FRUIT OF THE LOOM’ Cotton and Muslin in South Asia Rosemary Crill Muslin, the supremely fine cotton fabric in honour of which this festival and this gathering are being held, has been one of the sub-continent’s most prized materials not just for centuries but for millennia. Its position as the finest and most desirable form of woven cotton has long been established. It has been prized as far afield as classical Rome and imperial China, as well as by Mughal emperors - and their wives - closer to home. Earlier than this, muslins from Eastern and southern India were even mentioned in the Mahabharata. But it is important to remember that muslin is part of a much wider story, that of cotton itself. In this short talk, I would like to locate muslin within the Indian Subcontinent’s wider textile history, and also to discuss its role as a key fabric in India’s court culture. The early history of cotton Cotton has been the backbone of India’s textile production for about 8,000 years. Evolving from wild cotton plants, seeds and fibres of domesticated cotton have been excavated from as early as 6000BC at the site of Mehrgarh in today’s Baluchistan. Evidence of textile technology, especially finds of spindle whorls, the small circular weights used in spinning, is scattered throughout the Indus Valley sites from around the same period. The earliest known cotton thread to have been found on the subcontinent itself was excavated at the Indus Valley city of Mohenjo Daro, dating to around 2,500 BC.

In a press conference responding to the announcement, Governor Asa Hutchinson mused that the coverage loss could be attributable to the fact that some people “simply don’t want to be part of the workforce.
