  • An Introduction to Jere Abbott's Russian Diary, 1927–1928*
    An Introduction to Jere Abbott’s Russian Diary, 1927 –1928* LEAH DICKERMAN In 1978, in its seventh issue, October published the travel diaries written by Alfred H. Barr, Jr., who would go on to become the founding director of the Museum of Modern Art, during his two-month sojourn in Russia in 1927–28. They were accompanied by a note from Barr’s wife, Margaret Scolari Barr, who had made the documents available, and an introduction written by Jere Abbott, an art historian and former director of the Smith College Museum of Art who had returned to his family’s textile business in Maine. Abbott and Barr had made the journey together, traveling from London in October 1927 to Holland and Germany (including a four-day visit to the Bauhaus) and then, on Christmas Day 1927, over the border into Soviet Russia. Abbott, as Margaret Barr had noted, kept his own journal on the trip. Abbott’s, if anything, was more detailed and expansive in documenting its author’s observations and perceptions of Soviet cultural life at this pivotal moment; and his perspective offers both a complement and counter - point to Barr’s. Russia after the revolution was largely uncharted territory for Anglophone cultural commentary: This, in combination with the two men’s deep interest in and knowledge of contemporary art, makes their journals rare docu - ments of the Soviet cultural terrain in the late 1920s. We present Abbott’s diaries here, thirty-five years after the publication of Barr’s, with thanks to the generous cooperation of the Smith College Museum of Art, where they are now held.

  • Consumerism in the 1920S: Collected Commentary
    BECOMING MODERN: AMERICA IN THE 1920S PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION ONTEMPORAR Y HE WENTIES IN OMMENTARY T T C * Leonard Dove, The New Yorker, October 26, 1929 — CONSUMERISM — Mass-produced consumer goods like automobiles and ready-to-wear clothes were not new to the 1920s, nor were advertising or mail- order catalogues. But something was new about Americans’ relationship with manufactured products, and it was accelerating faster than it could be defined. Not only did the latest goods become necessities, consumption itself became a necessity, it seemed to observers. Was that good for America? Yes, said some—people can live in unprecedented comfort and material security. Not so fast, said others—can we predict where consumerism is taking us before we’re inextricably there? Something new has come to confront American democracy. Samuel Strauss The Fathers of the Nation did not foresee it. History had opened “Things Are in the Saddle” to their foresight most of the obstacles which might be expected The Atlantic Monthly to get in the way of the Republic—political corruption, extreme November 1924 wealth, foreign domination, faction, class rule; . That which has stolen across the path of American democracy and is already altering Americanism was not in their calculations. History gave them no hint of it. What is happening today is without precedent, at least so far as historical research has discovered. No reformer, no utopian, no physiocrat, no poet, no writer of fantastic romances saw in his dreams the particular development which is with us here and now. This is our proudest boast: “The American citizen has more comforts and conveniences than kings had two hundred years ago.” It is a fact, and this fact is the outward evidence of the new force which has crossed the path of American democracy.

  • INDONESIAN and MALAY STUDENTS in CAIRO in the 1920Ts*
    INDONESIAN AND MALAY STUDENTS IN CAIRO IN THE 1920Ts* William R. Roff Introducing the first issue of the third volume of the monthly Seruan Azhar (Call of Azhar) in October 1927, the then editor, Mahmud Junus, wrote that the journal Mis for our home­ land, because we recognize Indonesia and the Peninsula as one community, one people, with one adat, one way of life, and what is more, virtually one religion. n Urging the two terri­ tories to unite for the common good of their peoples, he went on, ". With this fcall,T students at present in Egypt can associate themselves with their homeland while at the same time making known their ideas for the betterment of their people and their birthplace. .?fl Seruan Azhar had been started by Indonesian and Malay stu­ dents in Cairo in October 1925, as the journal of the DjamaTah al-Chairiah al-Talabijja al-Azhariah al-Djawiah, or Welfare Association of "Jawa" Students at the University of al-Azhar-- "Jawa" in this context signifying, as it did throughout the Middle East, all Muslims indigenous to Southeast Asia. There had, of course, been Indonesian and Malay students in Cairo for many years prior to 1925, but it was apparently not until 1922 that they became sufficiently numerous, or sufficiently con­ scious of themselves as a group, to organize an association. Some time during that year the Djama'ah al-Chairiah was formed, with Djanan Thaib as first president. Djanan, from Minangkabau, had enrolled as a student at the University of al-Azhar in 1919, and later (in 1924) gained the distinction of being the first Indonesian or Malay student to graduate with the Alamiah degree.* 12 * The material on which this article is based was derived from the available written sources and from interviews conducted in Djakarta in November 1968, in Cairo in December 1965, and in Malaysia.
