Smith might exaggerate the degree to which contemporary scholarship views Germany as a radically nationalist polity. His treatment of the period 1871 to 1945 is rather more traditional thematically than the rest of the book. Finally, the relative lack of attention to the Habsburg Empire and Austria, not to mention the GDR, could be construed as lacunae in a narrative aimed at reconceptualizing traditional understandings of German nationalism and nationhood. These modest caveats aside, Smith has produced a remarkably erudite, original, and beautifully written narrative history of nationalism and nationhood in German-speaking Central Europe.","PeriodicalId":44078,"journal":{"name":"HISTORIAN","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41729269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sometimes Turner overdoes his historiographic contextualizing. In probing Hope’s belief that English and Southern peoples constituted a “single family” (36), Turner engages Hugh Dubrulle, James McPherson, William R. Taylor, Richard Devon Watson, Robert Bonner, Michael O’Brien, John McCardell, Michael Bernath, Drew Gilpin Faust, and O. Vernon Burton, all within a few pages. Explanatory notes might better have handled much of this. Turner also disserves readers with meaningless lists, such as the names, and often the titles, of the 22 “Lady Patronesses” of the Grand Southern Bazaar of 1864 at Liverpool (127–128), that, if truly essential, could have been appendices. Turner’s study is grounded in exhaustive research in secondary and printed primary sources, and it contributes significantly to scholarship on Anglo-Union-Confederate affairs during the Civil War and postwar Confederate memory in the United States and Britain. Importantly, Turner’s findings challenge recent scholarship downplaying British affinity for the Old South and the Confederacy. Our understandings of the Victorian Anglo-American world are richly informed by this impressive book.","PeriodicalId":44078,"journal":{"name":"HISTORIAN","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42250677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As president of Phi Alpha Theta, Jacob M. Blosser marked Phi Alpha Theta’s centennial with an address at the society’s biannual convention, held in 2023 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Drawing on the society’s institutional archives, Blosser highlights several themes that have shaped the society over time while also historicizing Phi Alpha Theta’s policies, customs, and traditions. He has developed that address into an article here. In “The Tabgatch empire and the idea of China,” Charles Holcombe examines the periodization and characterization of Chinese history during the “Northern Dynasties” period (386-581 CE). Holcombe finds that a “civic” Chinese identity was established and maintained despite dynastic conflicts, evolving cultural practices, and the shifting strategies of ruling elites. Laurie Venters’ article, “Lightening bonds: servile resistance in early imperial China,” offers a taxonomy of unfree labor and enslavement in the Qin, Western, and Eastern Han dynasties, a study of how the enslaved were often mistreated during this period, and a study of how the enslaved sought to improve or escape the conditions in which they were held. As always, these articles are followed by this quarter’s slate of book reviews and the list of recent initiates into Phi Alpha Theta.

Despite this, servile resistance in early imperial China (i.e. the Qin, Western, and Eastern Han dynasties) has received little attention. This article first contextualizes private slavery in the wider milieu of unfree labor, before proceeding to offer a concise rundown of the maltreatment and objectification of bonded persons. With the necessary groundwork laid, the present study then moves to establish an initial taxonomy of resistive behaviors as observable in the ancient literary and legal source material. From everyday acts of work avoidance and theft, to the extremes of abscondence, suicide, and murder, enslaved men and women deployed a range of subversive tactics. As will be demonstrated, such exhibitions of servile defiance moved to challenge the authority of the master class and, in doing so, lighten the bonds of slavery.","PeriodicalId":44078,"journal":{"name":"HISTORIAN","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46775776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
