A close examination of bilingual archival documents challenges these arguments. In fact, the Chinese government formulated proposals of several versions and managed to have most of its claims accepted at the Bretton Woods conference. More importantly, Chinese claims surpassed their own concerns and had a broader meaning taking into account the general quests of war-torn and undeveloped countries. Revisiting this part of history can deliver a balance to the traditional Anglo-American-focused narrative regarding the IMF and WB and enrich the historical context to assist our understanding of China's current pursuits and conduct in the realm of multilateral economic cooperation.</p>","PeriodicalId":13162,"journal":{"name":"History","volume":"109 384-385","pages":"92-118"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136351601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Davis was made famous in the Soviet Union because of her victimhood and her pro-Soviet outlook. Soviet support for her cause combined with her eyewitness testimony that the Soviet Union had abolished racism provided Soviet propaganda with ample opportunities to undercut American criticism of the Soviet Union, while inspiring domestic Soviet youth to be more faithful and proud of their home country. Yet, while Davis was used by the Soviet Union and its propaganda machine, she also made use of her Soviet connections and experience. The USSR, as it had for the Scottsboro Boys in the past, advocated for Davis and rallied leftists around the world to her cause. The Soviet Union, by turning her into a state-sponsored heroine, provided her with a major platform that eventually extended far beyond the Soviet Union. Moreover, in the Soviet Union, she found inspiration. There, as she witnessed personally during her 1972 visit, she believed she encountered a society free of racism, prejudice and strife that she knew so well at home.</p>","PeriodicalId":13162,"journal":{"name":"History","volume":"109 384-385","pages":"119-149"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135405445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Espionage activities by Catholics in England, however, have been often overlooked. The hundreds of documents endorsed ‘avisos de Inglaterra’ (reports from England), located in el archivo general de Simancas, are intelligence dossiers about England. These reports were sent to Spain (between 1590–1608) by Hugh Owen, a Welsh Catholic exile, using information gathered by his informants in England. This article seeks to introduce the ‘avisos’ as a genre of sources by exploring the intelligence they contained and placing them within their broader context of Elizabethan/ Jacobean Catholicism and Anglo-Spanish relations. In using this largely untapped source of Anglo-Spanish history, this article reaches broader conclusions about how Catholics in England interacted with the Spanish authorities, and tried to influence the Anglo-Spanish war to their advantage.</p>","PeriodicalId":13162,"journal":{"name":"History","volume":"108 381","pages":"244-261"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-229X.13363","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50140629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on a range of sources from chancery material to chronicle evidence, this article analyses one such tenantry community, the ‘barons of Leinster’. During the first half of the thirteenth century, the Marshal lords of Leinster clashed with royal authorities in Ireland on three occasions, and in these circumstances, the tenants of Leinster had to choose between their king and their lord. For the lords of Leinster, the support of their tenantry was not to be presumed, and hence they had to relentlessly compete for the allegiance of their tenantry with the other lords in Ireland and the king of England. This essay argues that status and marital ties influenced tenantry allegiance in Ireland, in particular that assimilation into a new lord's household was more important for the lesser tenantry who held land in both Ireland and Wales than for the great landed barons who also benefited from royal patronage. Hence, this study contributes to the rich ongoing discussion on the importance and role of tenantry communities in the Plantagenet dominions.</p>","PeriodicalId":13162,"journal":{"name":"History","volume":"108 382","pages":"421-445"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-229X.13366","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50151739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
