North American Boosterism in the South Pacific: Evaluating the Failure of New Zealand’s Progress Leagues, 1880–1980
ABSTRACT Regional imbalance in New Zealand continues to have resonance in academic and practitioner’s discussion. During and after the Great War Progress leagues were established in the Southern regions of New Zealand to address what was to become known as the “drift to the North” of the nation’s population. This article examines the activities of the Canterbury Progress League and the Otago Expansion League and explores why these bodies in comparison with their North American counterparts, failed to halt the drift across the mid decades of the twentieth century. The article identifies both external and internal factors that limited their effectiveness.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Regional and Local History aims to publish high-quality academic articles which address the history of regions and localities in the medieval, early-modern and modern eras. Regional and local are defined in broad terms, encouraging their examination in both urban and rural contexts, and as administrative, cultural and geographical entities. Regional histories may transcend both local and national boundaries, and offer a means of interrogating the temporality of such structures. Such histories might broaden understandings arrived at through a national focus or help develop agendas for future exploration. The subject matter of regional and local histories invites a number of methodological approaches including oral history, comparative history, cultural history and history from below. We welcome contributions situated in these methodological frameworks but are also keen to elicit inter-disciplinary work which seeks to understand the history of regions or localities through the methodologies of geography, sociology or cultural studies. The journal also publishes book reviews and review articles on themes relating to regional or local history.
