  • Lassiter JUH Submission Jan2015
    Note to Lunch U.P. group: This is the draft submission of an article that will be coming out later this year in a special issue of the Journal of Urban History on “Rethinking Urban Spaces in the Age of Mass Incarceration,” edited by Heather Thompson and Donna Murch. It’s excerpted from a longer chapter, about ‘juvenile delinquency’ and the federal and state declarations of war on narcotics during the 1950s, from my book project The Suburban Crisis: Crime, Drugs, and the Lost Innocence of Middle-Class America. Thanks in advance for reading this before the discussion. I realize this is fairly different from most of the other aspects of the programming this semester and through a mix-up I didn’t realize until just now that I was on the calendar, so don’t have time to put together a formal presentation. But I will bring the map and images I plan to include with this article, which is not yet in the copyediting phase. Also, please don’t circulate this draft beyond the listserv for this workshop series. Thanks, Matt Lassiter [email protected] Pushers, Victims, and the Lost Innocence of White Suburbia: California’s War on Narcotics during the 1950s Matthew D. Lassiter University of Michigan During the 1950s, neighborhood groups and civic organizations representing more than one million residents of California petitioned the state government for lengthy mandatory- minimum sentences for dope “pushers” who supplied marijuana and heroin to teenagers, with considerable public sentiment for life imprisonment or the death penalty. California’s war on narcotics enlisted a broad and ideologically diverse spectrum, led by nonpartisan alliances such as the California Federation of Women’s Clubs and the statewide PTA network and advanced by Republican and Democratic policymakers alike.

  • Standing Athwart History: the Political Thought of William F. Buckley Jr
    No. 29 Standing Athwart History: The Political Thought of William F. Buckley Jr. Lee Edwards, Ph.D. Abstract: In the mid-1950s, the danger of an ever-expanding state was clear, but conservatives could not agree on an appropriate response, including whether the greater danger lay at home or abroad. The three main branches of conservatism—traditional conservatives appalled by secular mass society, libertarians repelled by the Leviathan state, and ex-Leftists alarmed by international Communism led by the Soviet Union—remained divided. Noting that “The few spasmodic victories conservatives are winning are aim- less, uncoordinated, and inconclusive…because many years have gone by since the philosophy of freedom has been expounded systematically, brilliantly, and resourcefully,” William F. Buckley Jr. resolved to change that. His vision of ordered liberty shaped and guided American conservatism from its infancy to its maturity, from a cramped suite of offices on Manhattan’s East Side to the Oval Office of the White House, from a set of “irritable mental gestures” to a political force that transformed American politics. In the summer of 1954, American conservatism Right.

  • The War to End War CERI
    THE LAW OF THE WORLD OONA A. HATHAWAY & SCOTT J. SHAPIRO INTRODUCTION If you were to ask at what moment the world as we know it was set into motion, few, if any, would point to August 27, 1928. On that day, the representatives of the great powers of the world packed into the ornate, chandelier-filled room of the Salle de l’Horloge deep within the Quai d’Orsay, which housed the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It was a room heavy with history— the beleaguered Versailles Treaty had been concluded in the same room almost a decade earlier.1 The crowded space was sweltering from six large movie lights set up to help capture the momentous event on film. Sitting in a horseshoe, the representatives of the fifteen assembled states faced a small table at the center of the room, on which the treaty lay. At the center sat Aristide Briand, the aristocratic Frenchman who had first proposed a treaty to renounce war.2 Briand did not look the part of the French statesman. Not tall or in any way striking, his face was furrowed and partly obscured by a long drooping mustache.3 It was said that he often gave the impression of being bored.4 Yet Briand was no jaded diplomat. Both as Prime Minister and as Foreign Minister, he had worked tirelessly to protect France with a web of protective treaties. Often credited with formulating the original proposal for a new economic union of Europe,5 he had just two years earlier received the Nobel Peace Prize for his part in negotiating the Locarno Treaties, which aimed to bring a close to disputes that lingered from the Great War.

  • Indiana Law Review Volume 52 2019 Number 1
    Indiana Law Review Volume 52 2019 Number 1 SYMPOSIUM HOOSIER BRIDESMAIDS MARGO M. LAMBERT* A. CHRISTOPHER BRYANT** Indiana proudly proclaims itself the “Crossroads of America.”1 While some northeast-corridor cynics might deride the boast as a paraphrase for flyover country, there is no denying the political significance of the Hoosier State’s geographical and cultural centrality. As one of Indiana’s most celebrated historians has observed, “[b]y the beginning of the twentieth century Indiana was often cited as the most typical of American states, perhaps because Hoosiers in this age of transition generally resisted radical change and were able usually to balance moderate change with due attention to the continuities of life and culture.”2 Throughout the Gilded Age, elections in the state were so closely fought that the winning party rarely claimed more than slimmest majority.3 At the time, Indiana tended to favor Republicans over Democrats, but the races were close with Democrats claiming their share of victories.4 During these years, voter turnout remained high in presidential elections, with Indiana ranging from the eightieth to the ninetieth percentiles, no doubt a product of the closeness of the contests. Such voter turnout substantially exceeded that typical of surrounding states.5 Hoosiers liked to politick. The state’s high voter participation may also have been, in some part, attributable to its relaxed voting laws for adult males during the nineteenth * Associate Professor of History, University of Cincinnati Blue Ash College. ** Rufus King Professor of Constitutional Law, University of Cincinnati College of Law. The authors, proud Hoosiers by birth and Buckeyes by professional opportunity, thank first and foremost Brad Boswell for entrusting us with the opportunity to open the March 29, 2018 Symposium.

    The Forgotten Man: The Rhetorical Construction of Class and Classlessness in Depression Era Media A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts of and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Lee A. Gray November 2003 @ 2003 Lee A. Gray All Rights Reserved This dissertation entitled The Forgotten Man: The Rhetorical Construction of Class and Classlessness in Depression Era Media By Lee A. Gray has been approved for the Individual Interdisciplinary Program and The College of Arts and Sciences by Katherine Jellison Associate Professor, History Raymie E. McKerrow Professor, Communication Studies Leslie A. Flemming Dean, College of Arts and Sciences Gray, Lee A. Ph.D. November 2003. History/Individual Interdisciplinary Program The Forgotten Man: The Rhetorical Construction of Class and Classlessness in Depression Era Media (206 pp.) Co-Directors of Dissertation: Katherine Jellison and Raymie McKerrow The following study is an analysis of visual and narrative cultural discourses during the interwar years of 1920-1941. These years, specifically those of the 1930s, represent a significant transitional point in American history regarding cultural identity and social class formation. This study seeks to present one profile of how the use of media contributed to a mythic cultural identity of the United States as both classless and middle-class simultaneously.
