The board also wishes to thank Dr. Eva Sheppard Wolf for her continued confidence and support, as well as all of the Department of History’s professors who have both trained and encouraged students in their pursuit of the historian’s craft. These professors have empowered their students to write the inspiring scholarship included in this publication. In addition to support from within our own department, we have also been fortunate to receive outstanding contributions from the SFSU School of Design. Therein we are particularly grateful for the assistance of Dr. Joshua Singer and Aitalina Indeeva. Lastly, we would like to thank the authors who have allowed us to share their work with our readership and the greater academic community.

Ex Post Facto, with the permission of the authors, retains the right to publish these essays both in print and online. © Copyright San Francisco State University 2019 EGO POSTULO INSPIRATIONEM TUA O DEA CLIO LETTER FROM THE MANAGING EDITORS It with tremendous pride that we introduce the twenty-eighth volume of Ex Post Facto. Our 2019 edition contains nine articles ranging in theme from medieval perceptions of sight to the regulation and closure of San Francisco’s gay bathhouses in the 1980s. Each article captures a unique moment in time and, as evinced by this year’s apropos cover art, constitutes a formidable effort to contribute to the edifice of historical knowledge. Despite sustained and, in many cases, worthwhile challenges, revisions, and additions to this edifice, it is one that remains, much like the annual development of this journal, fundamentally collaborative in nature. We would like to thank all of the authors who contributed their work to the journal, and happily acknowledge the outstanding efforts of the many professors who have supported them in doing so. We are equally indebted to the contributions of the members of our editorial staff, who have consistently sacrificed their own time to make this year’s volume ofEPF as strong as possible. Our profound gratitude goes out to Dr. Eva Sheppard Wolf for the abundant guidance that she has offered us as our faculty mentor. We are also thankful for Sheri Kennedy’s enduring support and administrative expertise. Outside of the Department of History, we recognize the exceptional contributions of Aitalina Indeeva and Dr. Joshua Singer, both of SFSU’s School of Design, who volunteered their time and creativity to produce this volume’s cover. Without the inspiring contributions of all of the individuals listed above, as well as those of the many others who have guided them along the way, we would not have been able to publish this twenty-eighth volume of EPF. As we present this edition, it is our hope that the special tradition of producing Ex Post Facto will continue for years to come, and will stand as both a reminder of the importance of historical inquiry and a testament to the power of collaboration. We very much hope that you enjoy this year’s rendition, Ashley S. Fitzhugh Jennifer M. Meissner Alesha M. Sohler EX POST FACTO 2018-2019 EDITORS MANAGING EDITORS Ashley S. Fitzhugh Jennifer M.

Gandhi often seeks to place him in a Western context: Gandhi and King, Gandhi and Washington, Gandhi and the Christian establishment. Both academics and the public have contextualized him within the context of Western leaders, revolutionaries, and religions, to make his teachings more accessible and relatable to a Western canon. Unfortunately, this trend diminishes Gandhi’s own work and greatly limits our ability to learn from him as a remarkable thinker in his own right. The Mahatmas global stature makes him deserving of a close, detailed study in all aspects of his life without the constant restriction of a Western, Judeo- Christian lens. Through close study of his life and career, it is evident that Gandhi’s work was defined as much by his relationship with the adherents of Islam as by the bureaucrats of the British Empire. While Western scholarship often rushes to examine his appraisal of Jesus and his disciples, Gandhi himself was more likely to invoke the words of Mohammad in a speech or letter. A very basic understanding of the geopolitics of South-Central Asia makes it clear that this is due to the large minority population of Muslims living side by side with Hindus, Sikhs, and Jains in colonial India. Gandhi, because of both his upbringing and lifelong goal of seeing an independent, peaceful, and whole India, asked himself the same question that many politicians and diplomats do today: how do we evaluate and fruitfully interact with Islam and its followers as per their central position in the world? In answering that question from Gandhi’s perspective, this paper builds on a series of scholarly articles and academic journals looking at the same or relevant topics. Foremost among these is an article entitled “Islam and Ghandi: A Historical Perspective,” written by Amit Dey and published in the journal 10 Mitchell Johnson Social Scientist in 2013. Dey’s piece is an insightful review of Gandhi’s historical interaction with Islam. It reads much like a biography, but also assesses Gandhi’s own method of historically contextualizing Islam in India. Dey’s work is especially useful in helping the reader consider the effects of Gandhi’s upbringing and how it primed him for thoughtful consideration of Islam.1 Sheila McDonough’s work, Gandhi’s Response to Islam, provides an even more detailed study of these factors. Though a well-regarded scholar of Islam, McDonough sometimes neglects to acknowledge the particular political environment Gandhi was a part of in her book, but does provide a detailed understanding of the denominations of Islam that Gandhi encountered.2 M.N. Srinivas’s piece, “Gandhi’s Religion,” is also useful, as it contains a meaningful and well-argued critique of Gandhi’s religious views in addition to a fair analysis of them as a whole.3 Srinivas spends very little time, however, assessing Islam’s place in Gandhi’s religious study: this leads one to conclude that perhaps too much of his understanding of Gandhi came from the work of B.R. Nanda, an author mentioned thirteen times in Srinivas’s article, and that he would benefit from a closer look at Gandhi’s own publications. The work of these historians is enlightening and thought-provoking, but the most important reading that I have done has been a systematic review of the Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi. In my own research, I found that Islam sometimes dominated Gandhi’s writing, particularly while he was living in South Africa. I came to this conclusion by accessing an online database of the Collected Works, published by the GandhiServe Foundation, and using a search command to find each mention of Islam, Muslims, or Muhammad.4 By filtering through Gandhi’s extensive writings, I have identified the place 1 Amit Dey, “Islam and Gandhi: A Historical Perspective.” Social Scientist 41, no. 3/4 (March-April 2013): 19-34.

Love comes and goes with music in his feet, And tunes young pulses to his roundelays; Love brings thee this: will it persuade thee, Sweet, That he turns proser when he comes and stays? * * * * * CONTENTS. DRYDEN WITCHCRAFT SHAKESPEARE ONCE MORE NEW ENGLAND TWO CENTURIES AGO LESSING ROUSSEAU AND THE SENTIMENTALISTS * * * * * DRYDEN.[1] Benvenuto Cellini tells us that when, in his boyhood, he saw a salamander come out of the fire, his grandfather forthwith gave him a sound beating, that he might the better remember so unique a prodigy. Though perhaps in this case the rod had another application than the autobiographer chooses to disclose, and was intended to fix in the pupil's mind a lesson of veracity rather than of science, the testimony to its mnemonic virtue remains. Nay, so universally was it once believed that the senses, and through them the faculties of observation and retention, were quickened by an irritation of the cuticle, that in France it was customary to whip the children annually at the boundaries of the parish, lest the true place of them might ever be lost through neglect of so inexpensive a mordant for the memory. From this practice the older school of critics would seem to have taken a hint for keeping fixed the limits of good taste, and what was somewhat vaguely called _classical_ English. To mark these limits in poetry, they set up as Hermae the images they had made to them of Dryden, of Pope, and later of Goldsmith.

  • Historic Barriers to Anglo-American Nuclear Cooperation
    3 HISTORIC BARRIERS TO ANGLO- AMERICAN NUCLEAR COOPERATION ANDREW BROWN Despite being the closest of allies, with shared values and language, at- tempts by the United Kingdom and the United States to reach accords on nuclear matters generated distrust and resentment but no durable arrangements until the Mutual Defense Agreement of 1958. There were times when the perceived national interests of the two countries were unsynchronized or at odds; periods when political leaders did not see eye to eye or made secret agreements that remained just that; and when espionage, propaganda, and public opinion caused addi- tional tensions. STATUS IMBALANCE The Magna Carta of the nuclear age is the two-part Frisch-Peierls mem- orandum. It was produced by two European émigrés, Otto Frisch and Rudolf Peierls, at Birmingham University in the spring of 1940. Un- like Einstein’s famous letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, with its vague warning that a powerful new bomb might be constructed from uranium, the Frisch-Peierls memorandum set out detailed technical arguments leading to the conclusion that “a moderate amount of U-235 [highly enriched uranium] would indeed constitute an extremely effi- cient explosive.” Like Einstein, Frisch and Peierls were worried that the Germans might already be working toward an atomic bomb against which there would be no defense. By suggesting “a counter-threat with a similar bomb,” they first enunciated the concept of mutual deterrence and recommended “start[ing] production as soon as possible, even if 36 Historic Barriers to Anglo-American Nuclear Cooperation 37 it is not intended to use the bomb as a means of attack.”1 Professor Mark Oliphant from Birmingham convinced the UK authorities that “the whole thing must be taken rather seriously,”2 and a small group of senior scientists came together as the Maud Committee.

  • FDR and Pearl Harbor (Free Press, 2000), 258-260
    CONFRONT THE ISSUE Almost as soon as the attacks occurred, conspiracy theorists began claiming that President Roosevelt had FDR AND prior knowledge of the assault on Pearl Harbor. Others have claimed he tricked the Japanese into starting a war with the United States as a “back door” way to go to war with Japan’s ally, Nazi Germany. However, PEARL after nearly 65 years, no document or credible witness has been discovered that prove either claim. Most HARBOR scholars view Pearl Harbor as the consequence of missed clues, intelligence errors, and overconfidence. The causes behind the Japanese attack are complex and date back to the 1930s, when Japan undertook a military/colonial expansion in China—culminating in a full-scale invasion in 1937. America opposed this expansion and used a variety of methods to try to deter Japan. During the late 1930s, FDR began providing limited support to the Chinese government. In 1940, Roosevelt moved the Pacific fleet to the naval base at Pearl Harbor as a show of American power. He also attempted to address growing tensions with Japan through diplomacy. When Japan seized southern French Indo-China in July 1941, Roosevelt responded by freezing Japanese Scroll down to view assets in the United States and ending sales of oil to Japan. Japan’s military depended upon American oil. select documents Japan then had to decide between settling the crisis through diplomacy or by striking deep into Southeast from the FDR Library Asia to acquire alternative sources of oil, an action that was certain to meet American opposition. and excerpts from the historical debate.

From the inception of this country to the present day, the world knows the United States as a militaristic power. The 20th century was a particularly tumultuous time in which the United States participated in many military conflicts including World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War, and several other smaller or unofficial engagements. The use of propaganda acts as a common thread that ties all these military actions together. Countries rely on propaganda during wartime for a variety of reasons.

    Famous Speeches: Franklin D. Roosevelt's Pearl Harbor Address By Original speech from the public domain on 03.29.16 Word Count 578 President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivers his "Day of Infamy" speech to Congress on Dec. 8, 1941. Behind him are Vice President Henry Wallace (left) and Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn. To the right, in uniform in front of Rayburn, is Roosevelt's son James, who escorted his father to the Capitol in Washington, D.C. Photo: U.S. National Archives/ Wikimedia Commons On Dec. 7, 1941, at around 1:30 p.m., Navy Secretary Frank Knox told President Franklin D. Roosevelt that Pearl Harbor, a U.S. military base in Hawaii, had been attacked and more than 2,400 Americans were killed. Previous to Pearl Harbor, a war with Japan seemed likely but the attack made it imminent. The next day, a somber Roosevelt delivered this speech to Congress and the nation. Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, members of the Senate and the House of Representatives: Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 — a date which will live in infamy — the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. The United States was at peace with that nation, and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its Government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American island of Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message.

  • World War II: America's Motivation and Impact How Did the United States’ Motivations for Entering World War II Impact Our Actions?
    TEACHING WITH PRIMARY SOURCES World War II: America's Motivation and Impact How did the United States’ motivations for entering World War II impact our actions? Following World War I, the United States hoped to avoid further entanglement with European politics that had drawn us into war. A strong isolationist sentiment developed that questioned the wisdom of our entry into The Great War as it was then known. However, the rise of military government in Germany, Italy and Japan and their invasions of neighboring countries became a major concern for United States leaders including President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Germany Instigates World War I In Europe, Adolf Hitler led the rise of the Nazi Party, which claimed that Germany was treated unfairly in the peace treaty that ended WWI. He also sought to unite all German-speaking peoples, a policy that put him at odds with several neighbors like Austria, Poland and Czechoslovakia. Great Britain and France tried to negotiate an end to German expansion, but the Soviet Union on Germany’s eastern front signed a non-aggression treaty with Hitler that opened the door to Germany’s invasion of Poland in 1939. France and England came to the aid of the Poles and declared war on Germany. Hitler’s armies quickly overran Poland and then France, leaving Britain alone against German armies and air force. President Roosevelt wanted to come to the aid of our British allies, but public sentiment was not yet ready to send American soldiers to fight in another European war. Meanwhile, Germany and Italy became partners with Japan that had designs on domination of Eastern Asia.
