The complete story of American imperialism is missing from our history books. On this week's On the Media, how the United States worked to capture territory and expand power, while preaching democracy and freedom. [01:00] Host Brooke Gladstone sits down with historian Daniel Immerwahr, on the hidden history of the United States empire. For Americans, empire often means economic and military power abroad, or CIA coups in Central America–not British-style imperialism. But the American empire was — and in some ways continues to be — a lot closer than most people realize. Immerwahr explains the role of guano — bird poop — in launching America's overseas empire, and the legal, political and social clashes that ensued.[17:57] Host Brooke Gladstone continues her conversation with historian Daniel Immerwahr, exploring why, at the dawn of the last century, the arguments over imperialism didn't end with poets like Rudyard Kipling and writers like Mark Twain. How should the adolescent U.S., big-headed about its democratic values, grapple with capturing territory? Immerwahr explains how this vital debate blazed across America's consciousness like a comet, then vanished just as quickly.[34:47] Host Brooke Gladstone and historian Daniel Immerwahr conclude their conversation, discussing how, after World War II, global anti-colonial sentiment (combined with less dependence on natural resources) led to a shrinking of America's physical empire. But the American empire didn't disappear — it merely changed form. This originally aired in our April 5, 2019 program, “Empire State of Mind.”Further reading/listening/watching:How To Hide An Empire: A History of the Greater United States, by Daniel Immerwahr On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

This re-released conversation with Daniel Immerwahr is one of our all-time top ten episodes, initially released on December 28, 2022. Why do geopoliticians blow off climate change and environmental degradation?  Is geography really an insurmountable force?  What do "geopolitical risk consultants" really do?  And what should we make of the fact that geopolitics has its origins in imperialism?  What did Nazis, in particular, see appealing in geopolitics?  Van sits down w/ Professor Daniel Immerwahr (author of How to Hide an Empire) to discuss a new essay in The Guardian long reads section. They also talk about Daniel's recent chapter about the politics and ideology of George Lucas's Star Wars.  Subscribe to the Un-Diplomatic Newsletter: https://www.un-diplomatic.com.Are We Really Prisoners of Geography?: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/nov/10/are-we-really-prisoners-of-geography-maps-geopolitics.Ideology in US Foreign Relations (the volume containing "Galactic Vietnam"): https://cup.columbia.edu/book/ideology-in-u-s-foreign-relations/9780231201810.

“Is America an Empire?” is a popular question for pundits and historians, likely because it sets off such a provocative debate. All too often, however, people use empire simply because the United States is a hegemon, ignoring the country's imperial traits to focus simply on its power. Dr. Daniel Immerwahr's book How to Hide an Empire: The History of the Greater United States (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2019) corrects this by explicitly focusing on the country's territories and territories overseas possessions. Dr. Immerwahr begins at the country's founding as apprehension over aggressive westward settlement gave way to enthusiastic land grabs by pioneers such as Daniel Boone. Propelled by an astonishingly high birth rate and immigration, Euroamericans displaced indigenous peoples. In addition to this more familiar narrative, other factors drove territorial expansion. A desperate need for fertilizers led to the annexation of nearly one hundred “guano islands” in the Pacific and Caribbean, followed by the annexation of even more territory following the Spanish-American War in 1898. These new territories, including Puerto Rico, the Philippines, Guam, and others enjoyed an uneasy relationship with the United States: they did not enjoy constitutional protections but nevertheless had a close relationship with what they called the mainland. While the United States backed away from traditional colonialism after 1945, what emerged instead was a “pointillist empire” that depended on bases and new uses of older territory to function. Zeb Larson is a PhD Candidate in History at The Ohio State University. His research is about the anti-apartheid movement in the United States.

1700 v.Chr. leidet Kreta und die minoischen Paläste durch mehrere Erdbeben. Eine Priesterin und ihre Tempeldiener wollen der Katastrophe Einhalt gebieten und ihren Gottheiten ein großes Opfer darbringen: Einen Menschen. Ob es sich tatsächlich um Menschenopfer handelte und somit einen Hinweis auf rituelle Menschenopferung in der minoischen Gesellschaft sehen wir uns heute an. Allgemein wollen wir heute auf das Leben und die die Sozialstrukturen der Minoer eingehen. Gab es ein Matriarchat oder eine Theokratie? Woran glaubten die Minoer? Diese Fragen und Themen wollen wir heute erkunden.

Clara Immerwahrs liv slutade med ett tragiskt självmord, ett självmord som ofta beskrivs som en protest mot första världskriget och hennes egen make. Men vid närmare granskning har historien visat sig vara påhittad, Clara föll offer för en annan tragedi. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sección del programa de Rpa "La radio es mía" que demuestra que la modernidad es algo que viene de antiguo. Emisión del 29/3/2021, vigésimocuarta de la sexta temporada, dedicada a Clara Immerwahr, a su marido Fritz Haber y, por supuesto, a la ética y la neutralidad de la ciencia. Clara Immerwahr (Polkendorf, 1870-Berlín, 1915) se convirtió en 1900 en la primera alemana doctora en química. Un año después se casó con otro químico, Fritz Haber (Breslau, 1868-Basilea, 1934). Ella soñó con hacer carrera científica, pero tuvo que dedicarse a criar a su único hijo. Clara colaboró con su marido en su desarrollo de la síntesis del amoníaco para generar fertilizante artificiales, investigaciones que permitieron un desarrollo agrícola sin precedentes y un aumento del alimento y la población mundial, y le hicieron obtener el Premio Nobel de Química. Pero Fritz Haber tenía otras preocupaciones que los fertilizantes, le interesaba, sobre todo, el uso de los gases en la guerra química de 1918. Con su patrioterismo exacerbado, Haber produjo gases tóxicos y coordinó su uso bélico, algo en lo que su esposa, convencida de que la ciencia sdebía usarse en pro de la vida, se negó a colaborar. Cuando en 1915, el ejército alemán homenajeó a Fritz Haber por coordinar el primer uso de gas dicloro en la segunda batalla de Ypres, en Bélgica, con más de 20.000 bajas aliadas (6.000 muertos) en apenas 10 minutos, pero sin que los alemanes pudieran romper la línea de defensa por el terror que provocó el gas también entre ellos, Clara Immerwahr se suicidó tras una fuerte discusión con su marido. Insensible ante lo que consideraba una traidora, Haber no se quedó ni al entierro, partió al frente ruso para seguir haciendo de las suyas y dejó sólo a su hijo de 13 años con todo el marrón. Años después, en 1946, su hijo Hermann se suicidó a causa de la vergüenza que le produjo ser hijo del considerado padre de la guerra química. En 1933, cuando los nazis llegaron al poder, Fritz Haber, judío de cuna, aunque convertido al protestantismo para trepar en la universidad, huyó de Alemania a Inglaterra y, al año siguiente, murió por infarto de miocardio cuando viajaba a Palestina a hacerse cargo del Instituto Weizmann. Como gran paradoja, Fritz Haber desarrolló el gas cianuro Ziklon A que después fue refinado por los nazis para crear el Zyklon B, el gas protagonista de los campos de exterminio nazi. Algunos de sus parientes fueron exterminados con este gas. Ahora, Clara Immerwahr da nombre a uno de los principales premios cotra la proliferación del armamento nuclear..

Die erste promovierte Chemikerin Deutschlands, Clara Immerwahr, nahm sich früh das Leben. Sie konnte nicht weiter forschen, ihr Mann, Fritz Haber, entwickelte Giftgas für den Ersten Weltkrieg. Von Rainer Volk. (SWR 2014/2020)

“Is America an Empire?” is a popular question for pundits and historians, likely because it sets off such a provocative debate. All too often, however, people use empire simply because the United States is a hegemon, ignoring the country’s imperial traits to focus simply on its power. Dr. Daniel Immerwahr’s book How to Hide an Empire: The History of the Greater United States (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2019) corrects this by explicitly focusing on the country’s territories and territories overseas possessions. Dr. Immerwahr begins at the country’s founding as apprehension over aggressive westward settlement gave way to enthusiastic land grabs by pioneers such as Daniel Boone. Propelled by an astonishingly high birth rate and immigration, Euroamericans displaced indigenous peoples. In addition to this more familiar narrative, other factors drove territorial expansion. A desperate need for fertilizers led to the annexation of nearly one hundred “guano islands” in the Pacific and Caribbean, followed by the annexation of even more territory following the Spanish-American War in 1898. These new territories, including Puerto Rico, the Philippines, Guam, and others enjoyed an uneasy relationship with the United States: they did not enjoy constitutional protections but nevertheless had a close relationship with what they called the mainland. While the United States backed away from traditional colonialism after 1945, what emerged instead was a “pointillist empire” that depended on bases and new uses of older territory to function. Zeb Larson is a PhD Candidate in History at The Ohio State University. His research is about the anti-apartheid movement in the United States.

While the United States backed away from traditional colonialism after 1945, what emerged instead was a “pointillist empire” that depended on bases and new uses of older territory to function.

Modernization dominates development's historiography. Historians characterize moments in development's history–from the Tennessee Valley Authority to US-led “nation-building”in the Third World–as high-modernist attempts to industrialize, urbanize, bureaucratize, and centralize. Indeed, modernization and development have almost come to be synonymous in our historical imaginations. Daniel Immerwahr's Thinking Small: The United States and the Lure of Community Development (Harvard University Press, 2015) shows that this is not the whole story. Immerwahr, an assistant professor of history at Northwestern University, writes communitarianism back into the history of development. He traces a troubling history of how social scientists, policymakers, and civil servants were enamored of ideas of community development and how they tested these ideas in Indian villages, counterinsurgency campaigns in Southeast Asia, and the US war on poverty. Daniel makes important arguments about the mid-century ambivalence towards modernity, the global dimensions of domestic policy formation and the problematic appeal of community. Taking this story to the present, Daniel shows the limits of contemporary localist approaches to global inequality and makes his own profound and persuasive policy prescriptions. This fascinating book should be of interest to intellectual historians, diplomatic historians, historians of the global south, as well as development workers and anyone else engaged in debates about global poverty.
