2012 OAH/NCPH ANNUAL MEETING • MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN • 1 At-A-Glance Schedule of Events Welcome Our joint OAH/NCPH program committee this year faced an unusual set of challenges. It began meeting as controversies over Wisconsin’s budget broke into protest movements against austerity cuts and the rights of Wisconsin’s public employees to bargain collectively. These reactions raised questions about the meaning and practice of democracy in a nation where state and national governments found themselves guided by the principles of free-market capitalism. We had, by then, already selected the overall theme of the meeting, “Frontiers of Capitalism and Democracy,” with a view to reflecting on what our call for papers described as the tensions and complementaries of capitalism and democracy at “frontier” moments in the past. Our program Photo by Eileen Baroso committee, co-chaired by Nancy MacLean and Kathleen Franz, now faced the possibility that we were living in such a “frontier” moment and rose to the challenge of exploring the issues in all their dimen- sions. We believe that you will find the program this year unusually provocative and filled with food to nurture the mind and soul. Our program contains an array of history and public history sessions designed to satisfy a variety of tastes. We have constructed thematic threads that will especially appeal to teachers at all levels, and we offer sessions of particular interest to those who live and work in Wisconsin as well as to those who want to understand the historical roots of contemporary issues. We have invited senior historians to offer challenging interpretive papers, and younger scholars and public history practitioners eager to try out new work. Some sessions and working groups ask participants to download papers or write case statements in advance, so that audience members can fully participate in debate and discus- sion. Others allow panelists to think out loud about important historical controversies. Ideas drawn from material and visual sources find their way into every level of the program; we hope this will help us all to construct exciting interactions among eclectic communities of historians. In our joint program, there are far more opportunities for members of each organization than either could ever provide on its own. Obviously, public history will be well represented. We strongly encourage all who attend to try the sessions, workshops, tours, working groups, and other events that might on first glance feel too “academic” or too “public” for them. This is a meeting to celebrate the increasing interconnections and breaking down of hard lines between academic and public history. In this spirit, we hope that you will join us for the Saturday night plenary, a live, public recording of the radio show BackStory with the American History Guys. Our radio hosts Peter Onuf, Ed Ayers, and Brian Balogh will use the history of beer to consider labor, capitalism, culture, ethnicity, and more in Milwaukee. Combining hu- mor and a deep commitment to historical inquiry, they spark deep recognition of how much history matters to a general audience Milwaukee, happily, proves to be a great venue for exploration and conversation. A frontier city in many ways, and the beneficiary of an immigrant, industrial past, it offers its own history of experimentation with forms of democracy. For many years it boasted a Socialist mayor and city council, sturdy trade unions, and a robust tradition of immigrant participation in political life. Its brewing industry provides an important example of entrepreneurial vision. Its landscape still reveals evidence of the city’s long-standing commitment to enhancing the lives of ordinary folk. The local arrangements committee, co-chaired by Margo Anderson and Steve Meyer for the OAH and Jasmine Alinder for the NCPH, has made many of Milwaukee’s intriguing sites available to you. Even as you savor the conflict and contention that will surely arise from organized sessions, we encourage you to step out and explore this unusual, and unusually attractive, town. We welcome you and invite you to enjoy the feast laid before you.

    City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Mason Williams All Rights Reserved Abstract City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams This dissertation offers a new account of New York City’s politics and government in the 1930s and 1940s. Focusing on the development of the functions and capacities of the municipal state, it examines three sets of interrelated political changes: the triumph of “municipal reform” over the institutions and practices of the Tammany Hall political machine and its outer-borough counterparts; the incorporation of hundreds of thousands of new voters into the electorate and into urban political life more broadly; and the development of an ambitious and capacious public sector—what Joshua Freeman has recently described as a “social democratic polity.” It places these developments within the context of the national New Deal, showing how national officials, responding to the limitations of the American central state, utilized the planning and operational capacities of local governments to meet their own imperatives; and how national initiatives fed back into subnational politics, redrawing the bounds of what was possible in local government as well as altering the strength and orientation of local political organizations. The dissertation thus seeks not only to provide a more robust account of this crucial passage in the political history of America’s largest city, but also to shed new light on the history of the national New Deal—in particular, its relation to the urban social reform movements of the Progressive Era, the long-term effects of short-lived programs such as work relief and price control, and the roles of federalism and localism in New Deal statecraft.

  • “Strom Thurmond's America”
    “Strom Thurmond’s America” Joseph Crespino, Emory University Summersell Lecture Series Alright, good afternoon. I’m going to go ahead and get started. My name is Josh Rothman. I direct the Francis Summersell Center for the Study of the South, which is the sponsor of tonight’s event. It gives me really great pleasure to introduce our speaker this afternoon, Joseph Crespino. He’s currently Professor of History at Emory University. Crespino was born and raised in Mississippi, attended college at Northwestern University, acquired (and I just discovered this today), a master’s in education from the University of Mississippi, and took his PhD in history at Stanford University in 2002. Since receiving his degree, he’s become, I think it’s fair to say, one of his generation’s leading scholars in the postwar political history, bringing special attention to bear on his native south. His first book In Search of Another Country: Mississippi and the Conservative Counterrevolution was published in 2007. It makes a provocative argument that as whites in Mississippi reluctantly accommodated themselves to the changes in the Civil Rights Era, they linked their resistance to a broader conservative movement in the United States and thus made their own politics a vital component of what would become the modern Republican south. In Search of Another Country won multiple prizes, including the Lillian Smith Book Award from the Southern Regional Council, the McLemore Prize for the best book on Mississippi history from the Mississippi Historical Society, and the Non-fiction Prize from the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters.

    2020-President_Address.indd All Pages 14/10/19 7:31 PM John R. McNeill University Professor Georgetown University President of the American Historical Association, 2019 Presidential Address New York Hilton Trianon Ballroom New York, New York Saturday, January 4, 2020 5:30 PM John R. McNeill By George Vrtis, Carleton College In fall 1998, John McNeill addressed the Georgetown University community to help launch the university’s new capital campaign. Sharing the stage with Georgetown’s president and other dignitaries, McNeill focused his comments on the two “great things” he saw going on at Georgetown and why each merited further support. One of those focal points was teaching and the need to constantly find creative new ways to inspire, share knowledge, and build intellectual community among faculty and students. The other one centered on scholarship. Here McNeill suggested that scholars needed to move beyond the traditional confines of academic disciplines laid down in the 19th century, and engage in more innovative, imaginative, and interdisciplinary research. Our intellectual paths have been very fruitful for a long time now, McNeill observed, but diminishing returns have set in, information and methodologies have exploded, and new roads beckon. To help make his point, McNeill likened contemporary scholars to a drunk person searching for his lost keys under a lamppost, “not because he lost them there but because that is where the light is.” The drunk-swirling-around-the-lamppost metaphor was classic McNeill. Throughout his academic life, McNeill has always conveyed his ideas in clear, accessible, often memorable, and occasionally humorous language. And he has always ventured into the darkness, searchlight in hand, helping us to see and understand the world and ourselves ever more clearly with each passing year.
