  • During the Second World War
    DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR _______________StK______________ SK MARSHALL LEE MILLER Stanford University Press STANFORD, CALIFORNIA I 975 Stanford University Press Stanford, California © 1975 by the Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University Printed in the United States of America is b n 0-8047-0870-3 LC 74-82778 To my grandparents Lee and Edith Rankin and Evelyn Miller Preface SOS h e p o l it ic a l history of modern Bulgaria has been greatly ne­ T glected by Western scholars, and the important period of the Second World War has hardly been studied at all. The main reason for this has no doubt been the difficulty of obtaining documentary material on the wartime period. Although the Communist regime of Bulgaria has published a large number of books and monographs dealing with the country’s role in the war, these works have been concerned mostly with magnifying the importance of the Bulgarian Communist Party (BKP) and the partisan struggle. Despite this bias, useful information can be found in these works when other sources are available to provide perspective and verification. Within recent years, German, American, British, and other diplo­ matic and intelligence reports from the wartime years have become available, and the easing of travel restrictions in Bulgaria has facili­ tated research there. As recently as 1958, when the doctoral thesis of Marin V. Pundeff was presented (“Bulgaria’s Place in Axis Policy, 1936-1944”), there was very little material on the period after June 1941. It is now possible to fill in many of the important gaps in our knowledge of Bulgaria during the entire war.

  • Chapter One: Postwar Resentment and the Invention of Middle America 10
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff Doctor of Philosophy ________________________________________ Timothy Melley, Director ________________________________________ C. Barry Chabot, Reader ________________________________________ Whitney Womack Smith, Reader ________________________________________ Marguerite S. Shaffer, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT TALES FROM THE SILENT MAJORITY: CONSERVATIVE POPULISM AND THE INVENTION OF MIDDLE AMERICA by Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff In this dissertation I show how the conservative movement lured the white working class out of the Democratic New Deal Coalition and into the Republican Majority. I argue that this political transformation was accomplished in part by what I call the "invention" of Middle America. Using such cultural representations as mainstream print media, literature, and film, conservatives successfully exploited what came to be known as the Social Issue and constructed "Liberalism" as effeminate, impractical, and elitist. Chapter One charts the rise of conservative populism and Middle America against the backdrop of 1960s social upheaval. I stress the importance of backlash and resentment to Richard Nixon's ascendancy to the Presidency, describe strategies employed by the conservative movement to win majority status for the GOP, and explore the conflict between this goal and the will to ideological purity. In Chapter Two I read Rabbit Redux as John Updike's attempt to model the racial education of a conservative Middle American, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, in "teach-in" scenes that reflect the conflict between the social conservative and Eastern Liberal within the author's psyche. I conclude that this conflict undermines the project and, despite laudable intentions, Updike perpetuates caricatures of the Left and hastens Middle America's rejection of Liberalism.

  • The Bulgarian Monarchy: a Politically Motivated Revision of a Historical Image in a Post-Socialist Transitional Society
    The Bulgarian monarchy: a politically motivated revision of a historical image in a post-socialist transitional society Markus Wien American University, Bulgaria From its foundation in 1878, which was a consequence of the previous Russian- Turkish war, up to 1946 pre-socialist Bulgaria had a monarchic constitution. It was finally abandoned on 8 September 1946 by a manipulated referendum, which turned Bulgaria into a ‘People’s Republic’. The last king, Simeon II, had to leave the country, but did not abdicate formally instead, but he kept his title as a monarch in exile.1 During the years of communist rule, which lasted until 1989, it was unthinkable for Simeon to return to his home country – let alone resume political functions. The rejection of the monarchy and its representatives as reactionary and feudalist by the communists was too clear. On the contrary, they were eager to eliminate any positive memory of the monarchy in the public. They did so by creating an official image of history which blamed the monarchy for being the main reason, or at least, a very important precondition for all negative developments in the history of Bulgaria since 1878. Significant terms, such as “adventurism” for Bulgaria’s participation in the Balkan wars and the First World War under King Ferdinand or ‘monarcho-fascism’ for the authoritarian regime of Boris III, were chosen in order to make the period before 1944 a part of the public memory as a past which was dark but had been overcome.2 After the change of 1989 and the end of the communist monopoly on public opinion, all of a sudden the possibility of a historical re-evaluation of the Bulgarian monarchy occurred.

  • Ronald Reagan at the National Press Club, June 16, 1966
    Ronald Reagan at the National Press Club, June 16, 1966 Ronald Reagan. International News Photos. National Press Club Archives In the week following his first triumph in a campaign for public office—a stunning two-to-one victory in the Republican primary for governor of California— Ronald Reagan (1911-2004) traveled east to confer with the national party chairman, California’s Republican representatives in Congress, and leading industrialists. Not only had Reagan become the favorite in his bid to unseat two- term Democratic Governor Edmund G. “Pat” Brown, politicians and pundits now considered him a major national figure and future contender for the presidency. Feared as an extremist by some, Reagan visited former President Dwight D. Eisenhower at his farm in Gettysburg and gained his support. One day later, Reagan appeared before a capacity crowd at the National Press Club in Washington, where he delivered, in the opinion of a Los Angeles Times reporter, a “witty, deft, engaging performance in his debut in one of the capital’s chief forums.” This period of Reagan’s political ascendancy coincided with the beginning stages of a seismic shift in American politics: the decline of modern liberalism and entrance of the conservative right into the political mainstream. Two years earlier, President Lyndon B. Johnson had trounced conservative Senator Barry Goldwater after a raucous Republican convention split the party into warring factions. Democrats secured resounding majorities in both the House and 1 Senate. With a clear mandate, Johnson began his new term with the announcement, “We’re on our way to the Great Society,” invoking the near- utopian vision for the U.S.
