SUMMARY:Book talk by Salim Yaqub: Winds of Hope\, Storms of Discord\, Wed\, May 3\, 4–5:15 pm\, HSSB 6020
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, May 3\, from 4 pm to 5:15 pm in the McCune Room (HSSB 6020)\, the Center for Cold War Studies and International History will host a talk by Salim Yaqub. I’ll be talking about my new book\, Winds of Hope\, Storms of Discord: The United States since 1945. \n \n\nProfessor Salim Yaqub discusses his new book\, Winds of Hope\, Storms of Discord: The United States since 1945\, which traverses the broad sweep of postwar U.S. history. It explores how Americans of all walks of life—political leaders\, businesspeople\, public intellectuals\, workers\, students\, activists\, migrants\, and others—struggled to define the nation’s political\, economic\, geopolitical\, demographic\, and social character. The book chronicles the nation’s ceaseless ferment\, from the rocky conversion to peacetime in the early aftermath of World War II; to the frightening emergence of the Cold War and repeated U.S. military adventures abroad; to the struggles of African Americans and other minorities to claim a share of the American Dream; to the striking transformations in social attitudes catalyzed by the women’s movement and struggles for gay and lesbian liberation; to the dynamic force of political\, economic\, and social conservatism. Carrying the story to the spring of 2022\, Winds of Hope also shows how dizzying technological changes at times threatened to upend the nation’s civic and political life. \nSalim Yaqub received his Ph.D. in U.S. history from Yale University in 1999. He is now Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, and Director of UCSB’s Center for Cold War Studies and International History. He is the author of three books: Containing Arab Nationalism: The Eisenhower Doctrine and the Middle East (University of North Carolina Press\, 2004)\, Imperfect Strangers: Americans\, Arabs\, and U.S.–Middle East Relations in the 1970s (Cornell University Press\, 2016)\, and Winds of Hope\, Storms of Discord: The United States since 1945 (Cambridge University Press\, 2023). Professor Yaqub has also written several articles and book chapters on the history of U.S. foreign relations\, the international politics of the Middle East\, and Arab American political activism. \n\n \nThe talk is free and open to the public\, and delicious refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Gender + Sexualities Workshop - 'He Looked Pale and the Picture of Death': Sodomy\, Settler Self-Government\, and  the Age of Reform in 1840s Canada
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Gender + Sexualities Cluster for a Paper Workshop on Monday\, 8 May 2023\, at 2 PM.  \nWe will meet in HSSB 4020 to discuss Jarett Henderson‘s chapter\, “‘ He Looked Pale and the Picture of Death’: Sodomy\, Settler Self-Government\, and the Age of Reform in 1840s Canada.” \nABSTRACT \nThis chapter focuses primarily on the period from June 1841 to October 1842 – sixteen months during which Henry Black in the Canadian House of Assembly and Robert Sullivan in the Legislative Council led the effort to reform the administration of criminal justice in the newly created United Province of Canada. Although the recalibration of Britain’s colonial project in northern North America following the 1837-38 rebellion has been the subject of extensive historiography\, no other work has examined these bills to improve and consolidate the criminal laws of the colony in relation to the histories of sex\, gender\, and settler self-government. Drawn primarily from the published Journals of the elected House of Assembly and the appointed Legislative Council\, the chapter seeks to better how the re-criminalization of sex between men legitimized sodomy as a queer threat to the structures of white settler self-government that were being put into place in the early-1840s. How did this settler government legislate for the abominable\, infamous\, and unnatural crime of sodomy — which often included both buggery and bestiality — in early Canada? What about false accusations of\, and failed attempts at\, sodomy? What about anti-heterosexual threats that put a man’s property at risk? The legislative records and the colonial archives created teach us that unnatural sex\, settler manhood\, political independence\, and self-government were intimately connected in colonial Canada and wrapped up in larger empire-wide debates about capital punishment\, convict transportation\, and political reform. \nYou can find a copy of Jarett’s paper here\, (starting May 1). Please read the paper in advance and be prepared to share your observations and insights with the group. \nAll are welcome.

SUMMARY:History and Political Economy Colloquium with Prof. Adam Sabra
DESCRIPTION:The colloquium offers a forum for open\, substantive discussions on how to approach political economy from a historical perspective; how to grapple with and benefit from the epistemological diversity surrounding political economy; and how a historical take on political economy can help contextualize and address urgent contemporary issues– at UCSB\, in Santa Barbara/Southern California\, in the U.S.\, and around the world – ranging from rent\, inflation\, and student debt to deepening\, racialized inequality. For that purpose\, we will center our own research and put our work into conversation across geographical\, chronological\, and field boundaries.  \nAt our sixth meeting\, we will discuss “Local Power\, Empire\, and Political Economy ” with Professor Adam Sabra. \nPlease note that this session will take place in HSSB 4065.  \nIn preparation for the meeting\, please contact Professor Manuel Covo for the materials. Everyone is welcome. Light refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Stephan Miescher\, A Dam for Africa
DESCRIPTION:In A Dam for Africa historian Stephan Miescher explores four intersecting narratives that weave together around Akosombo: Ghanaian aspirations about building a hydroelectric dam in the context of decolonization and Cold War; international efforts of the US aluminum industry in benefiting from Akosombo through subsidizing the VALCO aluminum smelter; local stories of upheaval and devastation in resettlement towns; and a nation-wide quest toward electrification and energy justice during times of economic crises\, droughts\, and climate change. This book and its accompanying documentary film Ghana’s Electric Dreams (R. Lane Clark and Stephan F. Miescher\, co-produced with France Winddance Twine) tell the stories of Akosombo from multiple perspectives by foregrounding a range of historical actors.
