Introduction
No full textThis is a collection of recent scholarship on the aftermath of US slave emancipation, with a range of contributions from leading scholars in the field (Foner, Holt, Fitzgerald), up-and-coming historians with a reputation in the study of Reconstruction (O'Donovan, Baker, Kelly, Downs), and other promising junior and mid-level scholars (Illingworth, Mathisen, Bryant, Rhyne) whose essays here speak to some of the key issues in Reconstruction historiography. Aside from Holt's opening piece and the afterword by Foner, the essays were selected from more than 75 papers presented at two conferences organized by the After Slavery Project (www.afterslavery.com), a transatlantic research collaboration directed by Brian Kelly from Queen's University Belfast in Northern Ireland. The selection was based on three main criteria: the essays had to concern the former Confederate states during the period following slave emancipation; they had to be based on original research; and in the judgment of the editors, the essays had to make a substantial contribution to Reconstruction historiography. We sought essays that concerned the role of labor in Reconstruction but did not confine ourselves to these. The result is a collection that covers a geographically diverse area of the former slave states, grappling with problems central to Reconstruction scholarship in the aftermath of Foner's important synthesis
Border Masculinities : Spatial and Affective Borders across the Planet
No full textThis essay is an introduction to the edited volume Border Masculinities: Literary and Visual Representations (Amit Thakkar, Brian Baker and Chris Harris, 2024), which brings together studies of film, television and literatures covering the Americas, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia and Australasia. It frames border masculinities as those masculine subjectivities which are affected not just by the global erosion of spatial borders in the late twentieth and twenty-first century but also by conceptual borders related to that erosion, for example Self-Other, able-disabled, hegemonic-subordinate, son-father, and so on. The conceptual category of borderlands includes affective and psychological hinterlands which are usually the result of mobilities of either a physical or abstract nature, and very often both. Due attention is given to the analyses of various masculinities in the chapters that contribute to the volume, including sub-hegemonic, complicit, female and post-feminist masculinities. The discussion concludes with a call to work well beyond the concept of globalisation, ‘fixated as that term is on global (human) economics, the defence of national identities against globalising forces and trade barriers’ and instead to envision border masculinities as planetary rather than nation-specific. The essay is influenced by Raewyn Connell (1995), Sandro Mezzadra and Brett Neilson (2012) and, in terms of the concept of ‘planetarity’, especially Gayatri Spivak (2015)

Drugs By The Numbers: The Brian C. Bennett Drug Charts
No full textSince the early 1970s, national surveys have been conducted annually to examine the extent of drug use in America. Yet while the information is available to anyone with a computer, few people appear to know the size or actual contours of drug use in this country, and the data play only a small role in public policy, mass media presentations and popular perception. Using charts, figures and graphs of this survey data originally created by former career intelligence analyst and current Baker Institute contributing expert Brian C. Bennett and updated by the Drug Policy Program, this issue brief offers an overview of drug use trends in America over the last four decades. The brief is part of a larger Drug Policy Program project chronicling the pattern of the use and abuse of individual drugs over (in most cases) more than 40 years.
