Book excerpt: Excerpt from Papers of the Bi-National Conference on the War Between Mexico and the United States: Matamoros, Tamaulipas/Brownsville, Texas, February 10-11 1995 The spirit of this conference has been somewhat more difficult to capture on paper. During the gathering, the conference organizing committee invited participants to submit their presentations for possible publication. As papers came in, there was a marked absence of papers that demonstrate Mexican perspectives on the war. Fortunately, several excellent papers by Mexican scholars now seem headed for print in a separate Mexican collection. Of those papers that did arrive, some were rejected on the basis of length, some lacked proper documentation, and several interesting oralpresentations simply did not transfer well to the written word. These will not appear here, although several may emerge at a later date in a different collection. What does remain is a compilation of ten papers of various lengths and styles, representing a range of academic interest and experience, and selected without a conscious eye toward developing a specific theme or subtopic. Despite these limitations, the final product is an interesting series of glimpses of American political and military life during the formative years of the United States. As a whole, these pieces offer a view of a confident United States, sure of its destiny but, at the same time, weighed with insecurity and still defining the bounds of its democracy. Robert Johannsen points to the war as a defining moment of the Republic, a time when America proved its strength and demonstrated itself to be a model for the world. Others back this view, showing that nation and its confidence were not necessarily so strong in the years leading up to the conflict. Wesley Riddle, for example, shows a country in an uncertain courtship with Texas, with union achieved only when Texans determined a merger to be in their best interest. Likewise, Lawrence Taylor shows a nation eager to expand, but responding to fear of British domination as it proclaimed its vaguely-defined destiny to conquer the continent. Indeed, as Taylor points out, Democratic politicians in the United States played upon fears of British intrigues in Texas, California, and throughout Mexico, to rally support for annexation and war against a sister republic. At the same time, President James Polk toned down his rhetoric and settled the Oregon issue to avoid a second showdown against a more equal military foe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Papers of the Second Palo Alto Conference: A Conference on the War Between Mexico and the United States, Its Causes, and Its Consequences With Participants From the United States and Mexico; Brownsville, Texas, February 11-12, 1994 On May 8, 1993, formal ceremonies were held to dedicate the Palo Alto Battlefield National Historic Site. The law that created the park contained a far-reaching mandate to study the causes and consequences of the Battle of Palo Alto and the mexican-american War. Interpretations were to' reflect sources from and perspectives of both the United States and Mexico. Consequently, amid the pomp and celebration surrounding the successful establishment of the National Park Service site, Palo Alto began operations with a small gathering of researchers and scholars in a round-table event that became known as the Palo Alto Conference. Dealing with a war that continues to evoke strong feelings despite the passage of time, this conference emerged as an opportunity to bring together citizens of the two nations, to create a dialogue among them, and to establish a foundation for future park activities. Positive reaction to the 1993 conclave led to the decision to reconvene on an annual basis. In an effort to broaden the base of participation, Palo Alto personnel joined with Social Science faculty at the University of Texas at Brownsville to plan a second binational conference scheduled for February 1994 in that city. Affiliation with the university changed the format of the conference from a round-table approach to a series of thematic sessions. Keynote speaker Josefina Zoraida Vazquez of El Colegio de México highlighted an expanded list of diverse participants. Emphasis at the Second Annual Palo Alto Conference continued to be on establishing lines of communication between citizens of the United States and Mexico on the controversial mexican-american War. The planning committee encouraged the participation of established professionals, beginning scholars, military officers, trained archivists, and subject-area enthusiasts-including many who might not normally attend this type of academic forum. The call for papers in English or Spanish was open to anyone interested in the subject area, and screening of proposals was kept to a minimum. The volume of papers presented at the bilingual conference reflected this spirit of widespread participation.

Download or read book Politics and Culture of the Civil War Era written by Robert Walter Johannsen and published by Susquehanna University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert W. Johannsen, professor emeritus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, is one of the leading Jacksonian- and Civil War-era historians of his generation. Works such as his Stephen A. Douglas and To the Halls of the Montezumas have cemented his place in period scholarship. He also has mentored literally dozens of professional historians. In his honor, eleven of his students have gathered to contribute new essays on the period's history. On display here are cutting-edge examinations of thought and culture in the late Jacksonian era, new considerations of Manifest Destiny, and fascinating interpretations of the lives of the two political giants of the period, Stephen A. Douglas and Abraham Lincoln. Democratic Party politics and Civil War-era religion also come into play.
Download or read book Situation Critical written by Max Cavitch and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2024-03-08 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to Situation Critical argue for the continued importance of critique to early American studies, pushing back against both reductivist neo-empiricism and so-called postcritique. Bringing together essays by a diverse group of historians and literary scholars, editors Max Cavitch and Brian Connolly demonstrate that critique is about acknowledging that we are never simply writing better or worse accounts of the past, but accounts of the present as well. The contributors examine topics ranging from the indeterminacy of knowledge and history to Black speculative writing and nineteenth-century epistemology, the role of the unconscious in settler colonialism, and early American writing about masturbation, repression, religion, and secularism and their respective influence on morality. The contributors also offer vital new interpretations of major lines of thought in the history of critique—especially those relating to Freud and Foucault—that will be valuable both for scholars of early American studies and for scholars of the humanities and interpretive social sciences more broadly.
