Biafra And The Discourse On The Igbo Genocide, Chima J. Korieh Dec 2013

Biafra And The Discourse On The Igbo Genocide, Chima J. Korieh

History Faculty Research and Publications

There has been a reluctance or indifference to a systematic study and documentation of the Igbo Genocide in Nigeria. In the main, the reason has been due to official and non-official attempts to subvert a focus on an event in which more than one million Igbo were slaughtered through a process that was fomented, orchestrated, executed, and supervised by the Nigerian state.


Review Of Imaginary Citizens: Child Readers And The Limits Of American Independence, 1640–1868 By Courtney Weikle-Mills, James Marten Dec 2013

Review Of Imaginary Citizens: Child Readers And The Limits Of American Independence, 1640–1868 By Courtney Weikle-Mills, James Marten

History Faculty Research and Publications

No children appear in Imaginary Citizens until chapter 4, and then just barely; their presence would have made this a very different book. Yet they remain central to Courtney Weikle-Mills's argument that during the 250 years after Europeans came to the New World, children and childhood provided real and metaphorical meanings to freedom and citizenship and reflected the ways democratic values could actually be shaped by words.

Mortuary Workers, The Church, And The Funeral Trade In Late Antiquity, Sarah E. Bond Apr 2013

Mortuary Workers, The Church, And The Funeral Trade In Late Antiquity, Sarah E. Bond

History Faculty Research and Publications

Within the city of Constantinople, Constantine organized numerous funeral workers into associations overseen by a bishop, as part of a scheme meant to provide burials for all who needed them within the city. The funeral workers were given special exemptions and clerical status in return for their services. Constantine's model was imitated in other cities within the eastern Mediterranean and, as a result, established new urban patronage networks. The newly elevated funeral professionals were liminal men, between the commercial and clerical worlds and dependent on bishops for their employment and status. Some bishops exploited this dependency by using funeral workers …

Organic Farming In Nazi Germany: The Politics Of Biodynamic Agriculture, 1933-1945, Peter Staudenmaier Jan 2013

Organic Farming In Nazi Germany: The Politics Of Biodynamic Agriculture, 1933-1945, Peter Staudenmaier

History Faculty Research and Publications

The controversy over the nature and extent of official support for organic agriculture in Nazi Germany has generally focused on the minister of agriculture, R. W. Darré, and his putative endorsement of biodynamic farming. By shifting focus from the figure of Darré to other sectors of the Nazi hierarchy, this article reexamines a contested chapter in the environmental history of the Third Reich. Using previously neglected sources, I trace several important bases of institutional support for biodynamic agriculture spanning much of the Nazi period. Both the biodynamic movement and the Nazi Party were internally heterogeneous, with different factions pursuing different …
