Imperial Power And Dictatorship: Britain And The Rise Of Reza Shah, 1921–1926, Michael P. Zirinsky

Michael Zirinsky

Born in obscurity about 1878 and soon orphaned, Reza Pahlavi enlisted at fifteen in a Russian-officered Cossack brigade. Rising through the ranks, he provided force for a February 1921 coup d'etat, seizing power for journalist Sayyid Zia alDin Tabatabai. Reza Khan provided strength in the new government and rose from army commander to minister of war (April 1921) to prime minister (1923) and, after failing to make a republic in 1924, to the throne in 1925. As shah he ruled with increasingly arbitrary power until Britain and Russia deposed him in 1941. He died in exile in 1944.1 This paper …

Land And Labor: The Quest For Black Economic Independence On Virginia's Lower Peninsula, 1865-1880, Edna Greene Medford

Edna Greene Medford

Until quite recently, most of what we knew about antebellum slavery and the African-American experience in the postwar years resulted from generalizations regarding the cotton South. The tendency to focus on the heart of Dixie failed to take into account certain economic realities in the Upper South that shaped experiences under slavery and influenced freedpeople's adaptation to a new order.

“Sorry, Wrong Number”: Why Media Polls On Gun Control Are So Often Unreliable, David B. Kopel, Gary Mauser

David B Kopel

How scientific are the polls reported in the media on the gun control issue? Without arguing for or against gun controls, this article examines the interviewing and

sampling methods used by media polls and finds that some polls claiming impressive majorities in favor of severe gun controls may not be accurate.

This article was originally published in Political Communication and Persuasion, vol. 9, pp. 69-92 (1992). This web version is a from a reprint (without the tables) in the Journal on Firearms & Public Policy, volume 6, pp. 23-53 (1994). Starred page numbers [*24] indicate the beginning of a new …

Some Classified Catalogues Of The Cottonian Library, Elizabeth Teviotdale

Elizabeth C Teviotdale

Eight extant subject catalogs of Sir Robert Cotton's (1571-1631) collection were compiled during the latter half of the 17th century. Their classifications indicate the predominance of English histories. The six complete paper codices appear to have been based on another version, perhaps prepared by Sir William Dugdale (1605-86), apparently no longer in existence. The holdings were apparently compiled from both the collection as it stood in the 1660s and an emperor order catalog. Reprinted in Sir Robert Cotton as Collector: Essays on an Early Stuart Courtier and His Legacy (1997).

Generational Theory And Collective Autobiography, John D. Hazlett

John D Hazlett

Hazlett's essay examines the emergence of generational theory at the beginning of the 20th Century, considers some of the reasons for its popularity, and then shows how generationalism influenced the autobiographical writing of two self-proclaimed generational groups: the writers who came of age in the 1920s, and the group of activists and writers who came of age in the 1960s.
