Hi friends, happy Wednesday! There are some things from history class that just stick in my brain. Mostly… the murders. I'm sure this isn't surprising to anyone.  Like JFK getting shot in his car. Or… Julius Caesar getting stabbed in the back. And, for some reason I always remembered that Abraham Lincoln was shot in a theater.  I always thought, “wow, way to ruin everyone's night at the theater.” But that's really all I knew.  But after some searching… I was SHOCKED to learn the real story. I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History. I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show. So here's the link if you want to check it out.

Did you know that all the water buffalo in Taiwan are the descendants of a group of these bovines from Indonesia (formerly the Dutch East Indies)? These poor water buffalo were put on a sailing ship by the Dutch in 1648 and sent to Taiwan! Who knew? Well, former Dutch diplomat and current George Mason University Taiwan history professor Gerrit van der Wees does… and that's not all he knows. It was a genuine pleasure to chat with a person who's not only studied Taiwan extensively but who also played a big role in Taiwan's fight to become a democracy.  The day before former President Tsai Ing-wen stepped down, she honored van der Wees by conferring on him the Order of Brilliant Star with Grand Cordon, primarily for his work as chief editor of Taiwan Communiqué, a bi-monthly publication that chronicled Taiwan's transition to democracy from 1980 to 2016.   More info at formosafiles.com AND: Check out our other podcast on books - Bookish Asia

The war between Hamas and Israel rages on, with civilians paying a heavy price. MUN History Professor Justin Fantauzzo joined us with his thoughts on the latest news out of Gaza, and talked about the likelihood of a humanitarian ceasefire.

Part 1We talk with Peter Mansoor, History Professor at Ohio State University. We discuss the war in Israel, started by Hamas, by its attack on Israeli civilians, which included kidnapping and killing. Israel has responded with rockets and intends a ground war with Hamas. Palestinian civilians are are being killed directly and indirectly by lack of food, water, medical care. The conflict will likely grow more severe. But we discuss if revenge-driven actions will, in the long run, hurt Israel. Palestinians have no one to turn to for help, except Hamas.Part 2:We talk with Jonathan Feingold, Professor of law at Boston University, and with Sahar Aziz, Professor at Rutgers, and author. This is Episode 23 of Race Class.#RaceClass Ep. 23 | Why We Cant Talk About Israel-Palestine & The Racialization of Conflict; A conversation with Professor Sahar AzizOn October 7, Hamas launched horrifying and unprecedent attacks targeting Israeli civilians and continues to hold Israeli hostages. Israel responded within an ongoing assault on Gaza that includes airstrikes and a blockade on humanitarian aid. Current estimates suggest that over 1,400 people have died in Israel and nearly 6,000 in Gaza. The conflict remains agonizing front-page news. And yet it feels as if we"the public, media, politicians"are incapable of really talking about whats happening in Israel and Gaza. One reason is that this conflict, like many others, is racialized. This dynamic shapes how we process, perceive, and engage with the conflict"often in ways we do not see. Professor Sahar Aziz, an expert on authoritarianism, terrorism, and rule of law in the Middle East, joins #RaceClass to help us explore how the world continues to racializes the conflict in Israel and Gaza.#RaceClass Recs:The Racial Muslim(Aziz);Teach-In on Gaza(CSRR)WNHNFM.ORG   production

Growing up, Professor Maya Jasanoff was surrounded by academics and scholars—an environment she believes gave her the confidence to explore academia herself. Initially, her fellowship at Cambridge sparked her interest in studying the British Empire, and as she dove deeper into the subject matter, she began recognizing the many ways that British imperialism has infiltrated our world.  Today, the author and professor writes about history and is interested in how people—and power— have historically  crossed borders, and how the relationships between power and people shift and align over time.

Show Notes: Mark Wilson is a history professor at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte and author of several books on American business and the winning of World War Two, the business of Civil War, military mobilization, and the state and the military and the market. Mark talks about his journey since Harvard which includes teaching English in Japan, his PhD in history in Chicago and meeting his wife, the last two decades in Charlotte with his wife and two teenage boys, and writing his books.  Mark was finishing up his senior thesis and his last season on the Ultimate Frisbee team when he was nominated for a Harvard-run fellowship which allowed him to teach in the UK but the position didn't come through, and, with the poor job market, he was unable to find suitable employment and didn't know what to do, until he and his friend Ernie Chung  decided to go on a cross-country road trip in the US in his parents Honda Accord. They visited some friends, and explored national parks like Glacier and the Grand Canyon, and while on the trip, he received news that a potential job opportunity had opened up. Mark was offered a job to teach English in Japan and he decided to take the opportunity. During his time in Japan, he taught a variety of people from children to factory workers, doctors and fighter pilots and he traveled throughout the country. He also took a trip to Beijing in 1993, which was just before China shifted to fiber optics and leaped forward as a global economy. It was much different to China now.  He also saw a different side of Japan, which included some of the grittier parts of the country, as well as the typically polite and quiet people. Mark's fondest memories include being invited to join his students on weekend outings.  Stories about the Business of Civil War While in Japan, he applied to several grad schools and was accepted into the University of Chicago where they had a Phd. History program where he specialized in the History of the United States and completed his Phd dissertation project, The Business of Civil War. He wrote about how the North supplied its armies during the Civil War and focused on the business/political history of that economic mobilization project. During his research, he found records from correspondence records and court martial case files, which proved an interesting source of information. The Civil War and Industrialization Mark pointed out that there is a big debate among historians about the long-term economic impact of the Civil War on industrialization. His 300-page book on the subject offers insights into how the Civil War affected American business. The consensus among economic historians is that the US Civil War had very limited or even a negative impact on the country's industrialization. This is contrary to the popular notion that it stimulated industrial growth. Evidence for the limited impact of the war can be seen in the decisions of the North's top contractor, John Martin, who invested his wartime fortune in high-end European paintings rather than advancing technology. However, the author of a book on the war economy argues that the army's quartermasters should be recognized as among the greatest business leaders of the 19th century because of their massive acquisition efforts and logistics networks such as supply chain management difficulties. He talks about how the military set up army-run factories rather than going through the private sector but to meet demand they had to turn to the private sector. However, he believes that the public sector was as influential in the rise of big business as the private sector. Teaching History They left Chicago when his wife was offered a post at Cornell, and Mark started teaching part-time while he finished his dissertation. They moved to Charlotte in North Carolina where Mark was offered a position as an assistant professor.   In 2004, he went back to Harvard for a year where he got a postdoctoral. He finished his manuscript and started his second book on World War Two while teaching history. He teaches thematically organized courses, including the History of Democracy in the US or the Military Industrial Complex, or the History of Charlotte.  Mark discusses his book, Destructive Creation, which focuses on the business side of the story of the military industrial mobilization in World War II. He used archives from companies like Ford Motor Company, Boeing, and Du Pont, as well as records from civilian mobilization agencies and the military acquisition people in the services.  Mark's book offers the best book-length account of the big military industrial mobilization of WW2, but also about business's political and PR efforts during the war. The Business Community and Industrial Military Complex During the war, the business community worked hard to produce the necessary munitions and also waged a battle to win the public relations battle over who deserved the credit for the successful output of war supplies. This was an anti-New Deal political effort, as the business leaders were suspicious of the growth of government that occurred during the New Deal and World War II. He wrote not only about the machinations of production, but also  the cultural and political interpretations.  He talks about how the US government had to pay for the plants and tools needed as the private sector didn't have the incentive to build them. He also mentioned how the military was involved in the supply chain, and how the government set up new factories and plants to supply the military and then brought in private companies to manage them.  He mentions how surprised he is that some of his book's readers have been the Green New Deal crowd and those interested in the COVID-19 pandemic, as they look for ways to mobilize industrial production. He  believes the US defense sector has become more privatized and driven by short-term financial goals, which may lead to shortages and fragility. Mark shares his thoughts on the industrial military complex which he explores in his new book. He mentions how he's not surprised that there are shortages of munitions or other problems because of the ways the defense sector has changed in the last few decades, mainly, the fact that the U.S. defense sector has become more privatized and driven by short-term financial concerns.  Mark mentions influences from courses and professors at Harvard, including the course Human Physiology, and the instructors in the History and Literature program Dan Terrace and Steve Biel.

Rosemary Feurer, Labor History Professor at Northern Illinois University, joined the America's Work Force Union Podcast and shared the story of the life of Mother Jones and efforts to her legacy. Despite being a beloved and iconic figure in Chicago's labor movement, there is no memorial to honor her memory.
