Only a few studies have evaluated the movement throughout its full existence, and these are typically descriptive accounts rather than analyti- cal. See E.

Paul Kramer’s definition of empire as a “dimension of power in which asymmetries in the scale of political action, regimes of spatial ordering, and modes of exceptionalizing difference enable and produce relations of hierarchy, discipline, dispossession, extraction, and exploitation” is a useful one for understanding how the notion power is at the heart of the imperialism.

For a rich examination of linguistics as a framework for the study of history, see Richard Rorty, The Linguistic Turn: Essays in Philosophical Method (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1967). 20. Since Harrington’s study, the most influential works on anti-imperialism have concurred on the movement’s failure as a result of its diversity.

  • Garland's Million: the Radical Experiment To
    October 14, 2019 To: ABF Legal History Seminar From: John Fabian Witt Re: October 23 seminar Thanks so much for looking at my drafts and coming to my session! I’m thrilled to have been invited to Chicago. I am attaching chapters 5 and 8 from my book-in-progress, tentatively titled Garland’s Million: The Radical Experiment to Save American Democracy. The book is the story of an organization known informally as the Garland Fund or formally as the American Fund for Public Service: a philanthropic foundation established in 1922 to give money to liberal and left causes. The Fund figures prominently in the history of civil rights lawyering because of its role setting in motion the early stages of the NAACP’s litigation campaign that led a quarter-century later to Brown v. Board of Education. I hope you will be able to get some sense of the project from the crucial chapters I’ve attached here. These chapters come from Part 2 of the book. Part 1 focuses on Roger Baldwin, the founder of the ACLU and the principal energy behind the Fund. Part 2 (including the chapters here) focuses on James Weldon Johnson, who ran the NAACP during the 1920s and was a board member of the Fund. Parts 3 and 4 turn respectively to Elizabeth Gurley Flynn (a labor radical on the board) and Felix Frankfurter, who in the 1920s served as a key outside consultant and counsel to the Fund. To set the stage, readers have learned in Part 1 about Baldwin as a disillusioned reformer, who advocated progressive programs like the initiative and referendum only to see direct democracy produce a wave of white supremacist initiatives.

Moreover, indexes to each volume were kept by handwritten notation, in both pencil and ink, seldom in alphabetical order, and with numerous addenda and instances of inserted or corrected text. Researchers should exercise special and unusual latitude in an attempt to gather all the citations for a specific name. There are a number of variant patterns, but the most consistent apply to abbreviated versions of the name of the same person. "Cunningham, ~riggs"may be the same as "Cunningham, B." I,Dann, H. E ." may be the same as "Dann, H. H." (due to blurred or illegible handwriting). "Campbell, E. P." may be the same as "Campbell, President" (or Senator, Governor, Secretary, etc.). In many cases the index has knowingly been recreated literally from the original volume indexes with the mistakes intact to avoid an even more confusing, erroneous and unconfirmable interpretation.

  • President "Piercers Zjxcinisters at the Court of St
    President "Piercers zJXCinisters at the Court of St. James URING the administration of Franklin Pierce, Great Britain was particularly concerned about American plans for ex- D pansion. Prior to Pierce's inauguration the London Times, the most influential English paper, lamented the end of the Whig administration and the return of the Democratic Party, whose last successful presidential candidate had been James K. Polk, the expan- sionist. The American Whig Party, not only defeated but destroyed by the election, was memorialized as one which had uniformly pro- fessed the greatest moderation and the greatest good will toward England. By their derived name and by their policy, the Whigs con- noted a less aggressively nationalistic spirit than the incoming ad- ministration of 1853. The Times warned that the government across the sea was being transferred to "untried hands."1 Apprehension about the presidency of General Pierce was based more on his party affiliation than on his personality. A London edi- torial at election time admitted that the English had not learned much about Pierce's abilities and intentions since his nomination. However, concern about such issues as the tariff and liberty of trade had lessened, for, according to The Times, Pierce was known to be favorable to reform.2 In diplomatic affairs, The Times lacked confi- dence in the American masses rather than in their chief magistrate: "American people are, no doubt, all-powerful at home but when they proceed to mix in the affairs of other countries, they must be content to recognize and obey those general laws which ought alike to control the excesses of despotism and of freedom/' Thus, on the same day that Charles Francis Adams noted in his diary that the Democratic Party was coming into office upon ultra proslavery grounds, The l Editorial, Times, Jan.
