Isolationism & Appeasement in Australia E. M. Andrews
> Isolationism & Appeasement ü w* in Australia C /3 Reactions to the European Grises, 1935-1939 ‘They tell me things are not too good in Europe, Dave.’ ‘What’s wrong? Drought?’ ‘Unk’ White, Bulletin, 26 July 1939 E. M. Andrews Australian foreign policy in the late 1930s has till now been a neglected topic in historical writing. In this book the author examines Australian reactions to the aggressions which led to World War II — Abyssinia, Spain, Austria, Czecho slovakia, and Poland. He describes the early support in Britain and Australia for the League of Nations, and goes on to discuss the causes of the change to a policy of appeasement, culminating in the Munich crisis of 1938, and Australian reactions to that crisis. Additionally, he compares Australian foreign policy at that time and in the sixties, when Australia again supports a powerful ally, this time in Vietnam. To those who lived through the crises of the thirties and now wish to see those years in perspective, as well as to readers of a younger generation, who seek the causes for the development of present-day attitudes to Australian foreign policy, this book will make absorbing reading. For teachers and students of the history of the period it will provide a welcome insight into the reactions of Australian politicians and people to the European crises and to Britain’s part in them. Price in Australia $6.95 This book was published by ANU Press between 1965–1991. This republication is part of the digitisation project being carried out by Scholarly Information Services/Library and ANU Press. -
Isolationism and the Soviet Public Discourse in the 1920S and Early
NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR SOVIET AND EAST EUROPEAN RESEARCH TITLE: ISOLATIONISM AND SOVIET PUBLIC DISCOURSE, In The 1920s And Early 1930s AUTHOR: Jeffrey Brooks CONTRACTOR: University of Minnesota PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Jeffrey Brooks COUNCIL CONTRACT NUMBER: 802-11 DATE: May 1990 The work leading to this report was supported by funds provided by the National Council for Soviet and East European Research- The analysis and interpretations contained in the report are those of the author. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (Contract No. 802-11) ISOLATIONISM AND SOVIET PUBLIC DISCOURSE In the 1920s and early 1930s by Jeffrey Brooks This is a study of the portrayal of public attitudes toward foreigners and foreign states in the Soviet press during the 1920s and early 193 0s, with a special emphasis on America. As Soviet society took shape, a new language of public life arose; existing traditions were jettisoned or amended, and new notions embraced or discarded- Daily life took on new meanings, and a repertoire of frameworks for understanding Soviet experience and its potential unfolded. Within these frameworks, representation of relations with other states and peoples was critical. Isolationism and xenophobia became hallmarks of the Stalinist system, and without them much of what happened would have been impossible, but the long story of Soviet history reveals a counterpoint. The xenophobia of the Stalin years faded quickly after 1953, first into ambivalence and then into a widely felt desire to participate fully in world systems and interact with other peoples. Xenophobia and much else once deemed immutably Soviet have now been marginalized, and yet something of the earlier experience remains. -

How Did Belle La Follette Oppose Racial Segregation in Washington, D.C., 1913-1914? Abstract Beginning in 1913, progressive reformer Belle Case La Follette wrote a series of articles for the "women's page" of her family's magazine, denouncing the sudden racial segregation in several departments of the federal government. Those articles reveal progressive efforts to appeal specifically to women to combat injustice, and also demonstrate the ability of women to voice important political opinions prior to suffrage. -

Belle La Follette
BELLE LA FOLLETTE On August 20, 1931, the New York Times hailed Belle Case La Follette as “probably the least known yet most influential of all the American women who have had to do with public affairs.” A dedicated advocate for women’s suffrage, peace, and other causes, she served as a key advisor to her husband, leading Progressive politician Robert La Follette. She also wielded consider- able influence through her own speeches and journalism, as when she opposed racism by speaking out against the segregation of the federal gov- ernment under President Woodrow Wilson. In a concise, lively, and engaging narrative, Nancy C. Unger shows how Belle La Follette uniquely contributed to progressive reform, as well as the ways her work was typical of women—and progressives—of her time. Supported by primary documents and a robust companion website, this book intro- duces students of American history to an extraordinary woman and the era of progressive reform. Nancy C. Unger is Professor of History at Santa Clara University. She is the author of Beyond Nature’s Housekeepers: American Women in Environmen- tal History and Fighting Bob La Follette: The Righteous Reformer.

The Saint John's Bible Comes to Madison
riendsNEWS F Spring 2015 UNIVERSITY OF wisconsin–madison LIBRARIES The Saint John’s Bible Comes to Madison Maria Saffiotti Dale Curator of Paintings, Sculpture, and Decorative Arts Chazen Museum of Art and President of the Friends of the UW–Madison Libraries n 1995, conversations began between Ithe British calligraphy artist and scribe to Queen Elizabeth II, Donald Jackson, and the Benedictine Abbey and University of St. John’s in Collegeville, Minnesota, about embarking on the production of a handwritten and hand illuminated Bible. More than fifteen years later, The Saint John’s Bible was completed by Jackson and a team of scribes and illuminators working under his direction. According to medieval practice, the Bible is written with quills and reeds, illuminated with natural pigments, gold and silver leaf on calfskin. The complex layout of the text and images, however, was accomplished with the help of the computer. This mammoth project necessitated the creation of both an artistic community as well as a monastic, scholarly one. Donald Jackson assembled a team of scribes and artists based primarily in his scriptorium in Wales. Saint John’s convened the Committee on Illumination and Text to guide the theological interpretation of the text, to give expression to the monastic intentions undergirding the commission, and to represent a diversity of spiritual and artistic views. In the spirit of the monastic practice of lectio divina— holy reading, which is a meditative, prayerful reading of Scripture—a creative Messianic Predictions, Thomas Ingmire, Copyright 2005, The Saint John’s Bible, Saint John’s collaboration arose in the development of University, Collegeville, Minnesota USA.
