Item Open Access Ascensão e queda do pacto populista em Cuba, 1934-1959(Tempo, 2012-07) McGillivray, GillianO regime que pôs fim aos “100 dias de reforma” em Cuba é rotulado com frequência como “contrarrevolução” quando, na verdade, a expressão mais apropriada seria a de “populismo autoritário”. O novo regime não reverteu a Revolução de 1933; muito pelo contrário, suas lideranças valeram-se da violência combinada com reformas revolucionárias como forma de incorporar, de maneira compulsória, um número cada vez maior de pessoas em um novo e ampliado sistema estatal de liderança. Fulgencio Batista recebeu o apoio de parte da classe trabalhadora ao longo do período democrático que vigorou durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, mas o anticomunismo da Guerra Fria desestabilizou seu regime, esvaziando o populismo cubano de grande parte da sua substância.Item Open Access Item Open Access Sinology, Feminist History, and Everydayness in the Early Republican Periodical Press(The University of Chicago Press Journals, 2015) Judge, JoanThis article merges two approaches in what I am calling a horizontal reading of the women’s periodical press in early twentieth-century China. Feminism’s skepticism of all-encompassing narratives and attentiveness to the circuitous routes through which knowledge is produced make these multigenre, multivocal, and multiregistered materials legitimate objects of historical study. At the same time the methods of sinology, which combine competence in the mutating forms of Republican-era written Chinese with openness to new theoretically inflected approaches, help to unlock their aporetic richness. Aimed at capturing rather than disciplining the chaotic richness of these publications, this horizontal method reads the range of materials within women’s magazines against one another: discursive essays against photographic portraits, and advertisements against readers’ columns, for example. Rather than seeking the discursive logic articulated in selected essays—the prevailing scholarly approach to the periodical press—the horizontal method aims to capture the naturally occurring oddities of quotidian print matter. These oddities, in turn, highlight productive disjunctions inherent in Republican culture. Such a reading deepens our knowledge of the dramatic early twentieth-century changes that altered the course of modern Chinese history and enriches our understanding of the demographic that was arguably most affected by those changes—urban women. It also offers an alternate vision of how those dramatic changes were lived and understood, not in terms of a series of stark binaries that pitted “Western modernity” against “Chinese tradition” but through blended accommodations grounded in the intimate details of daily life.Item Open Access The Great Epizootic of 1872–73: Networks of Animal Disease in North American Urban Environments(Environmental History, Oxford University Press, 2018-07) Kheraj, SeanThis article examines the outbreak of an unknown illness (later thought to be equine influenza) among the horses of Toronto and its subsequent spread as a continent-wide panzootic. Known as the Great Epizootic, the illness infected horses in nearly every major urban center in Canada and the United States over a 50-week period beginning in late September 1872. The Great Epizootic not only illustrated the centrality of horses to the functioning of nineteenth-century North American cities, but it also demonstrated that these cities generated ecological conditions and a networked disease pool capable of supporting the rapid spread of animal disease on a continental scale in localities from widely divergent geographies. This article invites environmental historians to broaden their view of cities to consider the ways in which networked urbanization produced forms of historical biotic homogenization that could result in the rapid and widespread outbreak of disease.Item Open Access Women on the Margins of Imperial Plots: Farming on Borrowed Land(Canadian Historical Association, 2018) Jameson, Elizabeth; Podruchny, Carolyn; Thistle, Jesse A.Item Open Access Werewolves and Windigos: Narratives of Cannibal Monsters in French-Canadian Voyageur Oral Tradition(Duke University Press, 2004) Podruchny, CarolynItem Open Access Glass Curtains and Storied Landscapes: The Fur Trade, National Boundaries, and Historians(Duke University Press, 2010) Podruchny, Carolyn; Saler, BethelItem Open Access Festivities, Fortitude and Fraternalism: Fur Trade Masculinity and the Beaver Club, 1785-1827(Michigan State University Press, 1998) Podruchny, CarolynItem Open Access A Geography of Blood: Uncovering the Hidden Histories of Metis People in Canada(Waxmann, 2016) Podruchny, Carolyn; Thistle, Jesse A.Item Open Access The Lone Trickster?
