By examining in detail these cultural activities, sponsored primarily by the Bureau of Public Instruction in the decade before independence, this study demonstrates that through such events the government of the Resident General sought to propagate and promote a particular image of French culture among Tunisian elites with the intention of securing a dominant position for French art, language and literature in a post-colonial Tunisia. This image, which presented French culture as unified and diverse, continuous and dynamic, universal and superior emerged principally as a response to the new political realities created by the growing strength of Tunisian nationalism.

    Abroad: Law, Migration, and Capitalism in an Age of Globalization by Christopher A. Casey A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Daniel Sargent, Chair Professor James Vernon Professor David Lieberman Summer 2017 Copyright © 2017 by Christopher A. Casey All Rights Reserved Abstract Abroad: Law, Migration, and Capitalism in an Age of Globalization by Christopher A. Casey Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Daniel Sargent, Chair John Locke’s famous triad of inalienable rights included life, liberty, and property. Historians of human rights, however, have neglected property in favor of the more heroic categories of life and liberty. This dissertation asks what the relationship between life, liberty, and property has been in international law by studying the protection of nationals abroad in the nineteenth century and the various attempts to internationalize that protection in the twentieth. The late nineteenth century was a global age. People, goods, and money moved around the world at unprecedented speeds and in unprecedented scales. At the same time, jurists mobilized old principles of allegiance and protection to justify intervention on behalf nationals who were far outside the territorial boundaries of their state. States, they argued, had a right to protect the person and property of their nationals abroad. Such a right, however, was difficult to reconcile with the principle of territorial sovereignty. Importantly, just who was a national? Nationalism and migration tested the traditional bonds between states and their subjects and strained the stability of the international system.

  • Volume 10 December 2005
    Volume 10 December 2005 OUR HISTORY HistoryIn late June I received a letter from the Texas Historical Commission announcing their fall launch of a three-year initiative to commemorate the end of World War II and honor all the men and women who helped us win that epic conflict more than 60 years ago. Known as “Texas in World War II,” the initiative involves identifying and highlighting the many World War II resources in the state, including projects to identify and interpret his- toric sites, implement a series of new historical markers, and create a heritage tourism brochure and website. The Commission wanted to know what World War II resources The History Center held in its collection and what World War II exhibits we might be planning in the near Jonathan K. Gerland future. They encouraged us to participate in the statewide initiative and asked me to com- Director plete and return a survey concerning our resources and plans. At the time I knew we held very little World War II material outside of newspapers and a county-wide Veterans of Foreign Wars World War II photographic tribute book–cer- tainly nothing to produce a full-blown exhibit. I mentioned the letter to staff members, and without hesitation they enthusiastically said creating a new World War II exhibit was some- thing they would enjoy doing. With that we embarked on collecting the necessary resources and creating “Angelina County at War: A World War II Exhibit.” Community response was immediate. Area veterans and their families generously donated and loaned photographs, uniforms, medals, weapons, and letters to help us tell Angelina County’s World War II story and honor the men and women who sacrificed so much for our freedom.
