  • Separate Interests to National Agendas Hispanic-American Members of Congress in the Civil Rights Era, 1945–1977
    Separate Interests to National Agendas hispanic-american members of congress in the civil rights era, 1945–1977 In June 1952 two long-running but often dissimilar paths of Hispanic-American congressional history converged, if only for a moment. At issue was the transformation of Puerto Rico from a colonial territory to a U.S. commonwealth. Under Puerto Rico’s proposed constitution, the island’s new government, the Estado Libre Asociado (Free Associated State or ELA), would be linked to the U.S. mainland by matters involving foreign affairs, but its authority to govern locally would be enhanced. Congress initially approved the concept, but quickly split over a constitutional human rights provision that had wide support among the Puerto Rican people. In the U.S. Senate, one faction sought to establish Congress’s ability to approve or reject amendments to the island’s constitution, essentially stripping Puerto Ricans of sovereignty.1 One such advocate bluntly argued that Congress essentially had the option to “give them a constitution or not give it to them.” Dennis Chavez of New Mexico, on the other hand—often that chamber’s lone proponent for boosting Hispanic civil rights—pushed back: “The Puerto Ricans did not ask us to take [their political rights]; we took them,” he said. In areas of the world where the U.S. was then working to contain the spread of communism, including in the Caribbean Basin, Chavez noted that America’s efforts would be aided by treating Puerto Ricans with more equanimity.2 Chavez’s intervention in the debate foreshadowed an important trend in this era—the increasing cooperation among advocates for Hispanic issues on a national scale.

    THE WHITE HOUSE AND WHITE AFRICA: PRESIDENTIAL POLICY ON RHODESIA 1965-79 by EDWARD R. MICHEL A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham April 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

ABSTRACT My thesis offers an examination of U.S. policy towards Rhodesia as viewed through the lens of the respective Presidential administrations. The aim of my research is to demonstrate the changing American perspective on the Rhodesian question and how this directly affected the ultimate emergence of an independent Zimbabwe. I discuss the transformation in U.S. policy from the cautious approach of the Johnson White House, the shift towards ‘white Africa’ during the Nixon years as anti-communism and economic interests took centre stage and the subsequent attempt of the Ford Administration to achieve a peace settlement to prevent further communist expansion into southern Africa. Finally, I will analyse the critical role played by President Carter in bringing an end to UDI.

  • Vanessa Ogle, “Archipelago Capitalism: Tax Havens, Offshore Money, and the State, 1950S-1970S,” American Historical Review 122, No
    To be quoted as: Vanessa Ogle, “Archipelago Capitalism: Tax Havens, Offshore Money, and the State, 1950s-1970s,” American Historical Review 122, no. 5 (December 2017): 1431-1458. AHR Forum Archipelago Capitalism: Tax Havens, Offshore Money, and the State, 1950s–1970s VANESSA OGLE IN 1906, THE BRITISH HOUSE OF LORDS heard a legal case that would have important implications for matters of international taxation in the following decades. De Beers Consolidated Mines, founded in South Africa in 1888 by British business magnate Cecil Rhodes, had been formed under South African law, and its head offices and mining activities were at Kimberley, South Africa, where, moreover, all general meet- ings were held. Yet, as the Lords argued in their decision, the “directors’” meeting still took place in London, and therefore this was where the real control was exercised, where important business decisions were made. Even though De Beers was not a Brit- ish “person,” it was resident in Britain and liable to British tax on all its income, wher- ever said income had been produced or, in this case, mined. The lesson to be learned here was obvious to those with similar intentions: a year later, Egyptian Delta Land and Investment Co. Ltd., which had been set up in 1904 in London, moved its head- At the AHR, I thank Alex Lichtenstein, Kon Dierks, and Rob Schneider for their initial interest in the piece and guidance throughout the review process, Jane Lyle and her team for outstanding editing, Cris Coffey for swift communication, and the reviewers for their feedback.

  • South Africa and the High Commission Territories During the Second World War: Politics and Policies Affecting War Mobilization
    Scientia Militaria, South African Journal of Military Studies, Vol 30, Nr 2, 2000. http://scientiamilitaria.journals.ac.za South Africa and the High Commission Territories during the Second World War: Politics and Policies Affecting War Mobilization Deborah Shackleton The political, economic, social and military developments in the High Commissioned Territories (HCT) throughout much of the 19th and 20th centuries were highly influenced by their southern neighbor. During the Second World War, these developments have a rather direct impact on British decision-makers in London and in southern Africa especially with regards to war mobilization, African military recruitment and labor issues. Much of what will be discussed in this paper must be understood in the context of British imperial organization and demands as formulated and dictated by the Colonial Office in London with coordination with the Office of the High Commissioner in South Africa who was responsible for the overall care and protection of the HCT. However, historical precedent, economic necessity, military exigencies, paternalism, and racial ideology also drove policy decisions regarding mobilization during WW II. Without going into great detail about the position of the British Empire in 1939 to defend itself against German aggressions, it is still important to accept in principle that Great Britain did not have the resources and manpower to fight the fight alone. As an island nation that hated to be dragged into the messy affairs of the continent, England wanted to confine herself to her own interests. By 1938 the British Army was designed primarily for home defense and was unprepared for rearmament and mobilization.

  • The African Role in the Failure of South African Colonialism, 1902-1910: the Case of Lesotho

(Web Editor's Note: to return to the text from the linked endnotes, click on your browser's "Back Icon") Introduction When the Union of South Africa was inaugurated on May 31, 1910, the small kingdom of Basutoland (Lesotho) would have been incorporated into the Union Government. The colonist politicians from the two British colonies of the Cape and Natal and the Boer or Afrikaner republics of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State that constituted the Union, had for long demanded for the annexation of Lesotho to one of the colonies.1 Also included in the colonist demands was the inclusion of Lesotho's fellow British protectorates of Bechuanaland (Botswana) as well as Swaziland within South Africa. However, by Section 151 of the Schedule of South Africa Act (Constitution) of 1909, the incorporation of Lesotho, along with Botswana and Swaziland, was deferred indefinitely.2 Generally, scholars have emphasized the role played by Great Britain, the colonial overlord of Lesotho, as the reason for the postponement of incorporation. They have argued that Britain made a deliberate decision against haste incorporation of Lesotho, together with Botswana and Swaziland, because of its "moral obligation" to the welfare of the people of these three territories or protectorates.
