Podcasts about southern frontier

Early North Carolina, originally part of a territory called Carolana, is all but ignored in most surveys of American history.  After a fast start – both the Spanish and the English had short-lived settlements there in the 16th century before anywhere north of the future Tar Heel State had been settled by Europeans – a long period of failure followed until the late 1650s, when it hosted a quirky rural society of free-thinkers, democratically-inclined veterans of the New Model Army, and Quakers. In this overview episode we'll bring together those long decades of failure!  Longstanding and attentive listeners will have passing familiarity with some of this, having heard it in bits and pieces since very nearly the beginning of this podcast, but since I benefited from reviewing it I thought you might too.

March 11, 2019 - Our time machine travels back to the American Civil War for a look at the toll paid by civilians and the countryside trampled under the boots, hooves and wagon wheels of rampaging armies. We're all familiar with the devastation wrought on soldiers, but after a century-and-a-half, those sacrifices have become romanticized -- and battlefields once soaked with blood and littered with corpses, are now pristine national parks. Here to catalog the loss of ordinary citizens who didn't wear Confederate butternut or Union blue, is Dr. Joan Cashin, noted historian and author of the first full environmental history of the conflict. It's titled War Stuff: The Struggle for Human and Environmental Resources in the American Civil War. Joan earned a B.A. from The American University and a Ph.D. from Harvard. Today, she is a Professor of History at the Ohio State University in addition to her duties as editor of Our Common Affairs: Texts from Women in the Old South. Her previous books include A Family Venture: Men and Women on the Southern Frontier and First lady of the Confederacy: Varina Davis's Civil War. She also edited the book War Matters: Material Culture in the Civil War Era. You can follow our guest on Twitter @JoanECashin or check out her bio page at the Ohio State University.

Erica Fox Brindley‘s new book is a powerful study of the history of conceptions of ethnicity in early China that focuses on the Hua-xia and the peoples associated with its southern frontier (Yue/Viet). Informed by a careful accounting of extant textual, linguistic, and archaeological forms of evidence, Ancient China and the Yue: Perceptions and Identities on the Southern Frontier, c.400 BCE-50 CE (Cambridge University Press, 2015) reminds readers that there was no single “Yue” people (the term encompassed very different groups of people, depending on who was using it and how and when) and shows that “articulations of the self and Yue other were shaped by specific contextual needs or political exigencies.” The book argues that an “imperial logic of centrality…played an important role in the unification of a Hua-xia center and self, and hence, the construction of marginal others in the process.” Along the way, Brindley offers a window into the political histories of the key states associated with Yue peoples and cultures, considers a model of ethnicity in the Analects, offers a fascinating account of hairstyles and other physical markers of Yue identity, and explores Yue resistance and rebellion. The conclusion suggests a more critical approach to the concept of sinicization. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
