What The Progressives Had In Common, Glen Gendzel
Glen Gendzel
When Professor Benjamin Parke De Witt of New York University sat down to write the first history of the progressive movement in 1915, he promised “to give form and definiteness to a movement which is, in the minds of many, confused and chaotic.” Apparently it was a fool's errand, because confusion and chaos continued to plague historians of early twentieth-century reform long after Professor De Witt laid his pen to rest.

It Didn’T Start With Proposition 187: One Hundred And Fifty Years Of Nativist Legislation In California, Glen Gendzel
Glen Gendzel
The writer surveys California's long history of nativist legislation. In doing so, he demonstrates that three recent Californian ballot initiatives—Proposition 187, a 1994 ballot that denied public services such as education and nonemergency medical care to so-called illegal aliens, Proposition 209, which banned affirmative action in the public sector, and Proposition 227, which banned bilingual education in public schools—were not just a spasmodic backlash against recent demographic trends but were the culmination of a century-and-a-half of nativist politics in California. He shows that, from the beginning of statehood, anti-immigrant laws aimed at Latin-Americans and Asian-Americans have received broad support from …

Glen Gendzel
Three southern California rushes-the health rush, the land rush, and the orange rush-deserve the kind ofattention historians have lavished on northern California's gold rush. The three booms in the southern portion of the state were not only bigger than the gold rush, they concentrated the state's population in the south. They also played roles in the racially-based social and cultural patterns that developed in the region.

Competitive Boosterism: How Milwaukee Lost The Braves, Glen Gendzel
Competitive Boosterism: How Milwaukee Lost The Braves, Glen Gendzel
Glen Gendzel
By any measure, major-league baseball in North America surely qualifies as big business.

A study analyzes the transfer of the Milwaukee Braves baseball franchise to Atlanta in 1965 as the outcome of "competitive boosterism" or the active participation of local elites in luring trade, industry, and investment from other cities for the purpose of economic development.
