On Austria’S German Identity: A Reply To Margarete Grandner, Gernot Heiss, And Oliver Rathkolb, Harry Ritter
On Austria’S German Identity: A Reply To Margarete Grandner, Gernot Heiss, And Oliver Rathkolb, Harry Ritter
History Faculty and Staff Publications
In their response to my essay "Austria and the Struggle for German Identity" (German Studies Review, Special Issue, Winter 1992), Margarete Grandner, Gernot Heiss, and Oliver Rathkolb make several unwarranted claims and one useful reminder. Among the unjustified claims are the suggestion that I consider nationality an "eternal" category of historical understanding (not true - though I do believe that it has proven awfully resilient over the past two centuries) and the assertation that I deny the possible existence of any but a "German" identity for Austria. On the latter point, one should read the original article's entire sentence beginning …

"Policies Of Nature And Vegetables": Hugh Anderson, The Georgia Experiment, And The Political Use Of Natural Philosophy, Mart A. Stewart
History Faculty and Staff Publications
In 1737, Hugh Anderson, a Scottish "gentleman" of "liberal education" who had come to the new colony of Georgia with his family two years earlier, joined his voice to those already complaining to the colony's governing body. In so doing, he also attacked the Trustees' plan for the colony and their land and labor regulations. Correspondence was the common medium in the eighteenth century for communication, for the diffusion of information, and for establishing, reinforcing, or questioning social, political, and economic relationships. Like the other colonists, Hugh Anderson used the letter of petition as a medium of protest. But Anderson's …

A Monetary History Of China, Volumes One And Two (Zhongguo Huobi Shi), Hsin-Wei PʻEng
A Monetary History Of China, Volumes One And Two (Zhongguo Huobi Shi), Hsin-Wei PʻEng
East Asian Studies Press
A Monetary History of China, Volumes One and Two by Peng Xinwei, translated by Edward H. Kaplan. Translating this long, complex work, touching as it does on so many aspects of Chinese life, ranging from ancient philosophers to late Qing picaresque novels, has proven a daunting but rewarding task. I have learned a great deal about much more than Chinese money in the course of doing the translation. Nevertheless, I can hardly claim to have done justice to what is one of the great monuments of modem Chinese scholarship, and to its martyred author. Still, as Chesterton wisely observed, …
"Actuated By The Fear Of Loosing Their All": Civilian Response To The Revolutionary War In Georgia, Leslie Hall
"Actuated By The Fear Of Loosing Their All": Civilian Response To The Revolutionary War In Georgia, Leslie Hall
WWU Graduate School Collection
Between 1775 and 1782 Georgia was wracked by social and political revolutions, as well as a local civil war. Britain and the United States wanted Georgia, and during the Revolutionary War they established competing civil governments and military units within her borders. Irregular troops, autonomous militia units and unaligned marauders roamed the countryside, while the military requisitioned property and claimed booty. As the threat of famine and anarchy grew, the rival governments struggled to keep people from fleeing Georgia, and allowed a flexible allegiance in order to maintain the population. Many who survived these years in Georgia did so by …
