Weird "third-way" Loyalism project -> Anti-Bush, Anti-war. Maybe still conservative? Last updated in 2007 so idk.

What's the difference between a scoping study and a systematic review [of literature] ? - Systematic review looks at ONE "well-defined" research question -> allows for identificatiuon of "appropriate study designs" (of that question?) in advance. -> seeking specific ANSWER to that / those question/s. - Scoping study = takes a broad selection of topics (in a research area? -> allows for planning of many DIFFERENT "study designs" -> not addressing quality of the studies, not trying to answer an overarching research question, per se.

ALSO CONC -> IND SHUT OUT OF THIS "REPUBLIC OF NEW ICELAND" GOVT -> Resources competition for fishing the rivers / lake. - "They were excluded from participation in local government. In fact, one of the district council’s first resolutions stated that it was “necessary to have the Indians removed from the Icelandic Reserve particularly as the Indians also spoil the shing in Icelanders River by blocking the mouth of the river completely with their nets.” " - Barred from local councils set up by Icelanders - "New Iceland’s municipal government was an attempt by the colonists to integrate their reserve into the state system as a political and administra-tive unit. Its architects aspired to further cement their hold on the territory and its resources, as set aside for them by the Canadian government, over and above competing Aboriginal claims. " -> basically DID ALL OF THIS TO SHORE UP THEIR OWN POSITION WITHIN BORUGEOIS CANADA / FEDERAL SYSTEM AT EXPENSE OF IND. -> "POSITIONED THEMSELVES AS AGENTS OF THE NEW ORDER and sought to align themselves with its vanguard element – Anglo-Canadian settlers from Ontario." -> USED REPUBLIC /MUNICIPAL GOVT TO FORCE HAND AND ENTICE FEDS ACCEPTANCE OF THEIR INTEGRATION INTO COLONBY -> FUCKED OVER IND SO THAT THEY COULD BE ASSIMILATED INTO ANGLO SAXXON SOCIETY -> MODELING THEIR OWN LOCAL GOVT AFTER ONTARIO/ETC -> TO FIT WITHIN THE BOURGEOIS LIBERAL STATE WAS THEIR TOOL TO BE FURTHER INTEGRATED -> ACCEPTED MORE REFORMS CYNICALLY SO THEY'D BE ACCEPTED. - AND YET ALSO were able to use the new govt as tool to agitate / force govts hand to get them reforms / concessions -> but had to becvome model minority good little bourgeoisie fdemocrats / liberals before doing so. - "and sought to align themselves with its vanguard element – Anglo-Canadian settlers from Ontario." 162

Carved out position ahead of / in spire of Aboriginal claims.

"The municipal organization of New Iceland clearly pushed the bound-aries of Canada’s constitutional order. By presenting a local government to Ottawa as a fait accompli, the colonists inverted the top-down approach to the delegation of state power contained in the British North America Act." - Basically the NI government was an obstacle in consolidating BNA / Confederation -> idk man. -> basically it was ALREADY ESTABLISHED SO THEREFORE NEEDED TO BE ACCOMMODATED FOR AND INTEGRATED INTO THE UNION -> colonists forced the govts' hand -> but govt wins out in the end because fed regulations / rule are consolidated -> again, not revolutionary in any way -> simply want to be PART of the Liberal / private property established order and have a better share of the yield or whatever. - Q? -> could be cool to comapre this to British racial settlers -> how much of this was just spread of bourgeoisie capitalism / concern w/ private property -> ALMOST ALL OF IT BECAUSE OF THE WOMEN'S DESIRE TO OWN LAND OF THEIR OWN -> EVERYONE HERE IS ENAMOURED W/ SETTLER LIFESTYLE AND W/ CQRVING OUT GREATER AUTONOMY / FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE FOR THEMSELVES / BETTER MATERIAL CONDITIONS -> BUT IMMIGRANTS AND WHITE WOMEN SHUT OUT FOR DIFFERENT REASONS -> ALL A GREAT BIG SCRAMBLE - If one takeaway, its that the myth of the "open continent / empty lands" must have been irresistable -> REALLY bought into mythos of civilisation. - Next Q would be...How much of the Iceland experience wad about civilising / missionary work for British / Western superior standards of living (again rural ICE vs industrialized women idk). 160

Resistence to allowing IC privileges of whites by Cons in parlaiemnt -?> needed to become naturalized first - " “ere is no better way to prepare the people for becoming British subjects and appreciating British institutions than to permit them to act as this Bill provides.”However, the bill’s opponents in Parliament argued that the Icelanders must attain the formal citizenship rights of British subjects through the process of naturalization before they could undergo this type of tutelage. Conservative members correctly pointed out " - But libs wanted to pass bill to get them on their side, etc.

lmao -> exact same political system as Ontario (unclear whom influenced whom)

BEFORE THIS had just been NWT government -> appointed council, very little political representation.

Anchored, if anything, in notions of liberal private property -> WNATED TO BUY INTO THE FEDERAL STATUS QUO -> JUST WANTED A MORE REPRESENTATIVE PIECE OF THE PIE THAN WHAT THEY HAD -> WERE NOT REVOLUTIONARY IN ANY WAY. - "However, local resistance did not entail rejecting the liberal principles of private property, market production, and individual rights in favour of some communitarian alternative. "

"In New Iceland, the municipal system deepened the spatial practices of colonization and surveillance that had developed during the smallpox crisis. e geographical units established by the Dominion Lands Survey and enforced by the public health measures taken during the quarantine were carried over into the local administration system." - Ie, actually deepends regime / health regulations imposed federally during epidemic -> just one example of how fed law was enforced / regulated / became more entrenched because of grassroots local govt. - So this govt / "Republic" is from-below reponse to draconian measures / mismanagement by District in wake of epidemic, but IS overall a win for the federal govt ad it entrenches rule.

ALLOWED for state to become more legitimized / integrated into local systems of government.

Chapter deals w/ myth of "Republic of New Iceland" - Not really a Republic -> was MUNICIPAL government -> never declared sovereignty - Again part of myth of ISOLATION of community -> in fact not independent, was PART OF WIDER LIBERAL CANADIAN ORDER -> this kind of liberal govt on municipal level ALLOWED FOR THAT INTEGRATION INTO NEW POST-EPIDEMIC (?) STATUS QUO - Emerged as response to desires for better local govt than District of Keewatin (which emerged after pandemic specifically) - "is chapter argues that New Iceland’s municipal system played an important role in integrating the reserve into the project of liberal colonial rule in the Canadian Northwest. Local government was critical to the Icelanders’ emergence as political subjects aligned with the norms and as-sumptions of the contemporary liberal state. Although the system had some unique features and a distinct terminology, its signicance does not reside primarily in its institutional features. "144

So not just a biological thing, epidemics are DECLARED by governments -> in NI case, used to justify declaration of a new TERRITORIAL government: - "Epidemics are not merely the naturally occurring result of discrete bio-logical processes – they are also events produced by public health authorities as they assess the situation and take particular courses of action. As an epidemic is pronounced upon and dealt with, new forms of knowledge about a population are generated, and new modes of governance are cre-ated. e response to the  smallpox epidemic was, quite literally, the creation of a new government that served as both a board of health and a territorial authority for Keewatin, the region north and east of Mani toba, which included New Iceland. is territory was created in October , largely at the behest of Lieutenant Governor Alexander Morris, to respond to the planned transfer of the government of the North-West Territories from Winnipeg to a point farther west." - Government in turn responsible for dispossesing IND 109

Archival silence : Rebekka (Ind woman) was among first to identify the disease -> distributed aid -> however not mentioned in / ignored by Board of Health records - "d. Rebekka’s role in dis-tributing helpful medicines to smallpox victims was noted in community histories, but her name does not appear on the list of Icelanders employed by the Keewatin Board of Health or in the ocial documentation."

"The second part of the response was the attempt to contain the disease geographically. Doctors were sent out to vaccinate the residents of the nearby Indigenous communities of St. Peter’s, Brokenhead, Fort Alexander, and Fairford. New Iceland was put under quarantine and a cordon sanitaire was established at Netley Creek, about sixteen miles from the northern border of Manitoba at Boundary Creek. "

• ie, need to GEOGRAPHICALLY establish quarantine (fucking obviously I'm going to shoot myself jesus)

"e quarantine and sanitation measures used by the Keewatin Board of Health during the smallpox epidemic belong within Bashford’s model. e dynamic interaction between the state’s coercive force and disciplinary modes of governance allowed the new colonial organization of space to take hold around Lake Winnipeg"

"John Taylor wrote to Ottawa, complaining that the quarantine was main-tained even though no fresh cases of smallpox had appeared for ve months and the colony had been thoroughly disinfected. On  August, Minister of Agriculture C.A.P. Pelletier wrote to Morris, saying that the quarantine should be removed at once as it was “extremely cruel and unnecessary.” e military garrison was nally recalled on  July, but the colonists were not informed of this development. According to Taylor, they discovered it by chance when a hundred young Icelanders, both male and female, set out to force their way through the quarantine barriers.¹ In a later report, Taylor made a scathing attack on the administration of the Keewatin Board of Health: “e oppressive quarantine, so unnecessarily prolonged, has done more serious injury to the colony than can be repaired easily ... No quarantine procedures of a like character would have been submitted to for half the time by Canadians." - In other words, quarantine only lifted after intense protest (John Taylor, IND, writing to Ottawa -> seen as unnecessary and cruel -> on Icelanders).

Also irony that Icelanders suscetability to Smallpox was interpreted as marker of racial INFERIORITY by Brits once Icelanders had actually arrived,

"e discourses of race, progress, and civilization, typically used to legit-imate rule over Indigenous people, could also mark certain Europeans as racially and culturally degenerate." IE, Icelanders are agents of dispossession and favoured racial colonists -> but also foreigners -> non-English speakers in a British Imperial sphere. Lower down on the hierrachy (OBVIOUSLY COMPARE W/ BRITISH WOMEN'S POSITION.

THIS IS WHY NEW ICELAND AS SEPARATE COLONY / ISOLATIONIST INSTITUTION MYTH / UNDERSTANDING IS SO HARMFUL -> BECAUSE ICELANDERS PARTICIPATED IN THIS SYSTEM OF / BENEFITTED FROM FORCED DISPOSSESSION / ALLOCATION OF IND TO RESERVES IN AFTERMATH OF EPIDEMICS

"e – smallpox epidemic demonstrates how Aboriginal dispos-session and immigrant resettlement were linked through the overlapping government apparatuses of land administration and public health. e measures taken in response to the epidemic allowed the Canadian state to exercise new forms of power over spaces and people where its influence had previously been quite limited." - Again, role of state here is key -> NOT INEVITABLE -> response to epidemics allows state to clamp down even further on IND and dispossess them almost entirely, or whatever. - Yes, excatly this -> EPIDEMICS GIVE STATE EXCUSE TO QUARANTINE IND, THEREBY ALLOCATING THEM TO CHOKED OFF RESERVES. FUNDAMENTALLY ALTERED ALLOCATION OF LAND ON ORAIRRIES. - "Ultimately, however, quarantine and sanitation measures helped to reify a new spatial order mandating the compartmentalization of land and people into the system of racially segregated reserves that was integral to the Canadian colonization of the Northwest during the late nineteenth century" 98

REAL STORY is that IND disease experienced it differently over time and in different waves -> mortality was an evolving process.

AT FIRST GLANCE -> Appears to conform to notions of how colonisation went -> ie, contact between Euros and IND -> disease spreads, and then Euros take land that IND used to possess. BUT that kinda plays into narrative that this whol process WAS INEVITABLE WHEN IN FACT IT WASN'T -> THEREFORE THE LAKE WINNIPEG SETTLEMENT STORY IS ACTUALLY A GREAT CASE STUDY / MICROCOSM OF ALL PRAIRIE SETTLEMENT

Looking at 1876-1877 Smallpox Epidemic -> brought to 70 IND in region by Icelanders pop reduced from 70 to 17! In a year! Relationship was tense and complex -> after IND die, Dominion surveyors arrive and carve out the new reserve for Icelanders.

OKAY, part of ____'s question revolves around how there was a need within Iceland community to REPRODUCE their society, but to what extent? Was this like intiial QC -> OR LIKE BRITAIN AND THE IMPERIAL WOMEN IN CARTER? -> ie, wanted to EXACTLY reproduce metropole on the Plains (if agitating for moderate to radical female reform / rights) -> here, Icelandic settlers more specifically eager to escape conservative rule in Iceland and produce smaller families, have less of a breath bretahing down their necks:

• " or argues that the Icelanders chose the Lake Winnipeg site because it oered “the required isolation” to realize their ambition of preserving their language and cultural trad-itions. Although many did aspire to establish a distinctive Icelandic ethnic community in North America, they did not consider geographical and cultural isolation to be a precondition for achieving that goal. In this re-spect, the Icelandic reserve colonists were similar to the Mennonites in southeastern Manitoba; though isolation has also been an important theme in their traditional historiography, Royden Loewen disputes this emphasis, suggesting that social boundaries, which “dened the commun-ity and ordered external and internal relationships,” were more important than remoteness in shaping transplanted Mennonite communities. e rst New Iceland colonists envisioned a community that continued to use their language and to observe the religious and cultural traditions of their homeland but was also integrated with the larger economic and political structures of Anglo-Canadian settler society." 75

" e chapter locates the migrants within the social and economic structures of Iceland and considers the circumstances that made emigration a possible and desirable" 76?

BASICALLY -> New Icelandf favourd by ON and MB govts -> sponsored by both (?) certainly by Dominion of Canada -> because of racial purity / ideal that they will make better settlers. "e dominion authorities also seemed pleased. e report of the Select Standing Committee on Immigration and Colonization stated, “e site chosen appears to be favourable for Icelandic settlement, and the Committee are of the opinion that coloniza-tion of this nature should be encouraged.”³" 74

"n building their lives in the reserve, the Icelanders had to navigate the uncertain waters of state immigration and colonization policies that were unevenly implemented, subject to change, and not amenable to their con-trol. ey also had to carve out a niche for themselves in an unfamiliar environment alongside an Aboriginal population that sometimes rendered assistance but also resented their presence and feared its consequences for its own competing claim to the region. All these issues were in play during the single greatest crisis to aict the Icelandic reserve – the smallpox epidemic of –."

Basically eventually instead settle into SMALL GROUPS OF FAMILIES in NS, ON, MB, etc -> no City on the Hill or anything. Suppose kinda like the spread of women on Prairies -> DID settle in communities of a few families, etc. 91-92

FUCK -> Icelanders given priority to create a reserve OVER THE REQUESTS OF INDIANS FOR SAME LAND -> blatant white supremacism: - "e deputation had no trouble securing this tract as a reserve. e De-partment of the Interior immediately approved its request, and Minister David Laird later instructed Lieutenant Governor Alexander Morris that in his treaty negotiations with the Lake Winnipeg Indians, the claims of the Icelanders would take precedence over any Indian reserves that would be created in the same region."

Many farmers and government ocials believed that the traditional structures of rural society were not only the stable core of the economy, but also the moral centre of national life.

Also RURAL NATIONALIST MOVEMENT (Not entirely unlike Ireland) -> erosion of rural social structures is LOSS for Icelandic culture as a whole, BECAUSE IT IS ICELANDIC culture. "moral centre of national life..." etc.

LIKE osme women in GB (claimed that sending women out weakened the women's autonomy movement on the homefront) some Icelanders believe that emigrants are abandoning Iceland at exact time that they need to rally against Denmark for greater autonomy.

s. Many decided to join other prospective emigrants who intended to go to Wisconsin. A few young Icelanders had gone to Wisconsin after , and when their letters were published in the newspaper Norðanfari, people became aware of the opportunities in the Midwestern United States. During the winter and spring of –, meetings were held in Akureyri to plan for a large migration to North America. ey enlisted the help of Reykjavík merchant Guðmundur Lambertsen, shipping agent for the Scottish Canadian Allan Line. e Allans contacted Canadian immigration authorities in hopes that they would oer subsidies to help boost this new source of transatlantic passengers. As discussed in Chapter , Dominion ocials took up this oer, ushering in a system of Canadian state intervention in the Icelandic emigrant market that would persist until the rst decades of the twentieth century.

ROLE OF PRINT MEDIA -> new accessibilities (better telegrams / letters and connection to outside world) -> colonial scouts go to Brasil, Minnesota -> send back encouraging news Letters published in papers, etc.

CONTRAST to British educated middle classes / elites -> here, this kind of transnational communication is new. Seems then like there is LESS of a class element to all this, fewer ideas of racial purity, or at least a unified consensus that they are ALL racially pure / "upstanding examples" of the culture or whatever.

Also, livestock trade essential to funding overseas colonisation (via trade w/ Britain) -> as we've seen, subsidixzed by ON and MB governments to come over (therefore, ANOTHER TOOL OF BRITISH METROPOLE / STATE TO SHORE UP NORTH AMERICAN FRONTIER AGAINST AMERICAN EXPANSION.

Arguably had been colonised by "mercantalist" Denmark 85 Became more integrated (think Liberalism) into world economy after 1870s -> Fishing economy takes off. Leads to RURAL population being out of work -> move to coast for comepetive fishing jobs -> shift to fishing economy leads to surplus pop that needs to be shuffled off somewhere.

(Again, Ontario, Nova Scotia, Minnesota want Nordic immigrants for superior racial profile and belief that they are well-suited (racially) to the climate).

What spurred the exodus? Surplus population (as in GB) caused by, not industrialization, but over production in agriculture (favoiurable climate in 1800-1850 -> baby boom -> come of age as soon as climate cools so go to raise families elsewhere as crop yields decline).

"Marriage and procreation were treated as privileges that were endorsed by the broader community only if the couple had attained the appropriate social position." -> marriage sacred like in Britain, but more about achieveing proper social status for BOTH of them.

Basically, society they left was filled with INTRNAL MIGRATION of single people and even families. "A system of labour bondage underpinned Iceland' s traditional rural society 84." Basically more communal focused society -> tenure contracts allowed single people (obliged them) to serve other famileis fro 1-2 years)

Not as industrialized as England in 19th century -> therefore coming from SUBSISTENCE AGRICULTURE environment / society -> how does this impact role of women? As we've seen, Icelandic women also included in Act that prohibits all but widowed mothers from owning land / homesteading.

LMAO

Ireland or the pope?

Likewise, on the visitation / Elmina thing -> criticises how he doesn't point out how whites visit Plymouth Rock, or whatever.

Labels condescension towards focus on present asd a kind of moral superiority about the past. "Contemporary social justice issues" -> Satia would argue, like Foley, that history and politics / the present ARE intertwined.

Also notes how laughable it is that Sweet thinks we are NOT DOING OUR JOB if we hyperfixate on the present, when in reality that IS our job.

"Sweet attacks scholarly work on “race, gender, sexuality, nationalism, capitalism” as driven by “contemporary social justice issues.” The mind boggles at having to remind a fellow historian that gender and sexuality existed in the ancient world; race was a concept in the early modern world;"

"enormous condescension" and E.P. Thompson Basically all example of what Lorenz would characterise as DURATIONAL TIME -> ie, certain histories that continue to linger, that continue to have an impact on the present (colonialism, race, patriarchy , etc)

Damn. A lot more damning -> "condescending" towards African Americans' understanding of history (but tbf, maybe more towards the "American" half of that name). Quotes the whol emotional / free labour thing about marginalized peoples explaining things to White academics. "free labour to defend their own humanity."

Criticises Sweet for saying we ignore "values and mores" of people in their own time, as well as changes over time, without providing any examples / counter points for how it should be. Notes , too , that lack of premodern positions is largely from "structural factors" and funding; ie, there isn't necessarily a hard shift towards the present (and this is true -> was there not this kind of rhetoric / focus in the 70s / etc?)

Also criticises Sweet's criticisms of 1619 because they are made from a vantage point of Western / White academic "ways of doing things" and in some ways moght be old hat, certainly aren't infallible.

Not mad at Sweet, but critical - History and politics are inseperable -> if we ignore it we are NOT DOING OUR JOB.

Remarkably tone-deaf.

DOES say he is glad of EXPERIENCE of those familes, AAs. But is worried about "erasure" of Africa and African issues - LESS THAN 1% OF AFRICANS THAT LEFT ELMINA WENT TO NORTH AMERICA.

Importantly, it looks like he IS White (not that that really matters, but in order to make these kinds of claims about the African American experience, you know...)

"Should the guide's story differ for a tour with no African Americans?"

OH SHIT -> Was super not on board but I kinda get what he's saying here - Anecdote about going to Ghana -> for conference near Elmina castle (slave depot) - Three generations of an African American family there, apparently w/ a "dog-eared copy of the 1619 project" - Then, took guided tour of castle, which he describes as having been "well-rehearsed [and] geared toward African-Americans. American influence was everywhere." - So a mixing of history (Ghana, slave trade of hundreds of years ago ) WHITH AMERICAN IDEAS AND CULTURE WAR -> material impact on Ghana, of all places (Like Israrel / Ireland / Italy / whatever). "an African American shrine" (the Castle) (and, fair enough, I say. They are the product of it). -> but comapres it to ALSO being a Ghanian archaeological / historical site / local interest point. Americanization, even if from below.

lol

And yet notes that it was TAUGHT to kids in school history lessons -> seems to me to be cherry picking what is and isn't "history" here.

Ah, but likens it to Conservatives' view that if THIS is the history being taught, just shouldn't teach history at all -> calls this "zero-sum game of heroes and villains" instead of exploring nuance, etc.

"It was not an anlysis of people's ideas in their own time, nor a process of change over time." Again -> main issue here is it's link to the present.

Has to be rooted in social justice, race, gender, sexuality, etc. "IGNORES THE VALUES AND MORES OF PEOPLE IN THEIR OWN TIMES, AS WELL AS CHANGE OVER TIME."

HUNT, historically, was agaianst "presentism" -> ie, History's focus on doing history for THE PRESENT -> linking it to present concerns. Hunt was worried about the loss of something more universal, especially with regards to new focus on late 19th century and later (fixation by current historians).

Aight, so article begins with an APOLOGY to his colleagues about a newsletter he sent out as president of AHA - Was trying to be provocative in engaging question of "how we 'do' history in our current politically charged environment." - Instead accidentaly shut the door on many, particularly Black members, by SUGGESTING THAT QUESTIONS POSED BY THOSE IN POSITIONS OF DETACHED POWER SOMEHOW MATTER MORE THAN THOSE POSED BY PEOPLE WITH "ABSENCE, GRIEF, MEMORY, AND RESILIENCE."

Lady Douglas actually has Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire chapter named after here (lol) So IS some scholarship about her / 1928 book chapter. Completely does not mention her IND heritage. childhood among "the picturesque figures of the firs tfur traders, the Canadian voyageurs, the indian trappers, the proud chiefs."

Mention of Van Kirk -> fur trade elites of Victoria.

ARGUMENT (Perry) - Argues that contradictory histories of Douglas-Connolly fam are best seen through a wide lens over the long nineteenth century - Again again -> using this family as EXAMPLE to extrapolate more info about race, empire, etc in BC but also West in general. Also doing reverse -> taking the GENERAL and arriving at some conclusions about Amelia Connoly and Douglas. - Basically a transnational history of "wider imperial world" - " Empire was global, but it played out in local spaces..."

Douglas dies and immediately becomes celebrated figure in this archival history of BC -> popular among biographers -> but NOT EASY TO FIT INTO BOX OF WHITE IMPERLAITS NARRATIVES "But the Douglas-Connolly family could not be easily accommodated within triumphalist settler narratives. " - Biographers like Bancroft gloss over his origins, find it difficult to swallow that he may have been mixed race -> also just frustrated by lack of sources. - One writes "rot" in margins next to suggestion that his mother had been creole. - Also props up his family with his wife, though there are misgivings -> "though a half-breed, was a perfect lady" (as were her daughters) -> CREDITS DOUGLAS W/ THIS -> IE, the Euro man w/ colonizing the IND women. - But Bancroft had "genuine disquiet" about fact that he had married an IND and had produced children. - COntrast here between part of biograpjhy that can be ignored (but which still looms large, ie his parentage) and the one that cannot ( and tyhere fore has to be intellectualized, ie , hius marriage and paternity). - "I could never understand how...having their name and honors descend to a degenerate posteriy' -> men like Douglas who diluyte their superior genese (says Bancroft)

Basically, what makes Douglas unique / special is that in later life (60s-70s so post retirement) -> wrote voluminous material bout personal ife -> letters diaries etc. So have two Douglases -> also material of his two sons in law. Reveal patterns of colonial maculinity, race relations, etc.

BUT Perry warns us we cannot read too much into these -> written at a specific time in his life. Might not refeclect any certainty into the past. Tread cautiously is all.

Archive is gendered from the start -> male (?) writte nculture running up against oral culture Women are not really ever incuded in archive. Only rarely. "Disassociated from women, speech, and fiction." (gendered archives are) This is the case w/ Amelia, even though she was first DAUGHTER of powerful fur trader and then wife of another Perry states that she's using other archival women info to draw conclusions / confirm theories about Amelia's life.

People I miss / wish I'd been friends with - Reid - Francois (QBR) - Pat and Emily, and Brayden - Mike - Dr. McSheffrey - Perique - Harley - James - Malcolm "Xavier" Morey (oh how life feels so varied when you think about it that way).

Douglas enteres archive definitively when, essentially, he becomes a commodity (employed as "unfree laborer" in fur trade) Within HBC archive (catelogue, lol) Implication is that archive is extrtactionary / commercial venture really. Between 1830s-50s, rose through ranks to management 1851 becomes governor of Colony of Vancouver Island. Retired in early 60s.

Whole point of this is to use the specific (Connolly-Douglas clan) to arrive at conclusions about the general (colonialism, mixed families, conceptions of race). idk what page this is.

Epistemologies / methodologies (in some ways an Indigenous way of knowing -> ie, interogating archive differently. At least a different APPROACH).

No fucking way.

Hmm... - Attack fuelled more by neglect, unstable relationships, mental illness than ideology allegedly (well, just not a totally political act)

Knigh Imagery Breivik

• Holy shit. Tie into the "brutality" emphasized and traditional masculinity steeped in violence platformed by the manifesto
• Planned to behead the prime minister and broadcast this

EVIDENCE KNIGHT - BREIVIK

• Spent much of his time playing medieval fantasy games prior to attack
• Began reading counter jihad in 2006

Evidence Knight / Breivik

• Secondary Breivik knight imagery (this is evidenced by Shaffer who notes that he made blog posts claiming to be this...)

Fjordman's actual name

Web enables this -> why its so effective

ABSOLUTE definition about what KIND of movement/tradition this is

Evidence Knighthood

• Patron and protector is Bernard of Clairvaux
• Guardian saint is George of Lydda
• Therefore archetypes of trad masc (at least George) emphasized here and drawn on for support of trad masc implementation in the present.

EVIDENCE RECONQUISTA

• Explicit role is to conduct a "reconquista" and assert trad masc

Evidence Knighthood Manliness

• DIRECTLY CITES BERNARD OF CLAIRVAUX
• Who claims that a Templar Knight is fearless -> protected both through literal armour and faith
• Accompyaning photo is yet another contemporary rendition of a knight. Stoic pose, bearded, light (of faith?) shines on his face. White, obv. Armoured and muscular
• This demonstrates again that ideal man is based on knighthood -> implementation of traditional masculinity based on imagined, THEORETICAL past (Bernard is evidence of both directly citing medieval sources AND showing that this is all theory)

Evidence for terrorists and trad masc based on knighthood

• Again, submit yourself to poverty and be a REAL man who fights for the people (status quo / chivalry) and who can endure hardship / pain unlike modern feminized men

Evidence feminized society and conquered people

• Cites rape statistic for self defence justification (primary one or at least among them)

Argument Participation of Women

• Calls for women to be participants in this civil war ("brothers and sisters" used for recruitment and morale), but only in logistical function -> also not intellectuals either -> literally only subservient to men of movement

POTENTIAL CONCLUSION: - Shows that race may not actually be the biggest factor -> instead fears of emasculation lead to scapegoating race? Gender is the biggest issue here.

Argument/Evidence Knight Manhood

• Two things in this graph:

• Justicar knights will each individually become a one-man army when they commit terrorism ("brutal" methods and mention of using advanced weaponry like they think their badass). Demonstrates again that the vision of a real man is one who is proficient in many "manly" activities like technology, weaponry, etc -> is independent and able to act manly in opposition to the PC status quo

• Doing so will "humiliate" the cultural marxist system and thus weaken it -> implies an emasculation of "feminized" men and the modern PC system NOT based on Knighthood/etc. Again, asserting that imagined past of Templars and ideal masculinity is the way forward

Argument Intellectuals / intelligentsia

• What are their takes on "warrior philosophers" ?
• Where does intellect and academia fit within traditional norms of masculinity that they're seeking to replant into modern society?
• In THIS case -> arguing that the right wing "intellectual" movements must be united with the "military orders"
• SIDE NOTE: would be sick to look @ other scholarship on the far right (secondary sources) and see if this all fits together.

Argument Stretching it a Bit

• Maaaaybe could argue something like: All about CONTROL and because we're rising up in a MILITARY operation / cell structure directly modelled on the medieval Templars/warrior culture -> asserting dominance -> implicitly rising up over weaker "feminized" men and women who had gained power through being corrupted by capitalism and cultural marxism.

Argument Trad Masc Goal

• Explicitly claim that their goal is to "implement a cultural[ly] conservative political agenda"

Evidence Knight / Poverty

• This is interesting -> where does voluntary poverty fit within masculinity?
• Could argue that since women are rising in workforce (earlier complaints of this in the manifesto) and since global capitalists have risen and helped open Europe's gates, that -> Need to return to idyllic pre-modern past (does he blame rise in women's rights on capitalism? If so, we got a point in the bag)
• Again, knighthood os IDEAL man occupation here (trad masc activities like hunting, fishing, need for only men to be warriors, etc)

Argument Marxism / Women

• So...because we've established that cultural marxism's MAIN crime against the west is to weaken it through feminism and the feminisation of man / ascendency of women -> means that any reference to cultural marxism needing to be stamped out by the Knights Templar is a call to rescind women's rights and implant traditional masculinity
• Again, done so by callbacks to Knights Templar and imagined past of traditional masculinity

Evidence Knight

• Sees need for formation of this order NOT just because of Islam, but also to try Marxist criminals for their control of the west and enforcement of multiculturalism that has eroded trad masc
• Frames this movement as an Indigenous rights org -> sees ind rights as trad masc

Evidence Knight Imagery

• Throughout PCCTS history -> some characteristics have remained consistent:
• strength, honour, courage, and martyrdom
• Order must be re-founded because of the CURRENT NEED FOR THESE PRINCIPLES -> explicitly "ancient Christian military order"

Again, demographic warfare

Evidence Knight Imagery

• Lmao not even all about being a "hard man" -> emphasizes benefits of RIDING into battle because it prevented fatigue :,(
• THESE knights seen as the "only true soldiers of Europe" -> THE ONES THAT DEFEATED THE UMAYYAD INVASION AT TOURS IN 732
• Using past conflicts to show importance of having a warrior culture and the MOST traditional men

Evidence KnightImagery

• Literally calling on "Knighthood" and defining it here. Just need to link it to this being a conservative reaction to women's rights, war being used to try and reinstate/justify traditional masculinity

Evidence Templars

• A lot of insecurity here -> expressing desire to be as "skilled" and "feared" as the Templars who 'never surrendered"
• Vows of chastity

Evidence Reconquista

• Cites this as something that could be directly mirrored in the modern age (strategy)
• How to tie to masculinity? Rape of Europe?

Evidence ROME and General Hist

• Likens fall of Europe to fall of Rome but worse and more "barbaric" -> because even "more barbarians" flooding through boarders

Evidence General Hist/Violence

• Quotes Thomas Jefferson that leaders need to be reminded of liberty by rebelling masses (not medieval, but still traditional masculine societies)

Evidence (Violence)

• Need masculine warrior culture BECAUSE
• Escalating violence IN Europe from Muslim communities -> traditional, Knight-based masculinity is the way to combat this
• Cites weird numbers of rising rape, etc statistics
• Again, demographic jihad -> need traditional "military" culture to combat this by asserting dominance over women-led country

EVIDENCEPROTECTION

• Militaristic man societies need to be revived because feminism leads to women oppression through aforementioned reasons (embracing multiculturalism and opening up the door for Islamic culture, and weakening of western men to defend against these cultures)

WesternWomenExample

• Good example here of a woman ON BOARD with this movement and return to traditional masculine roles (does not, however, cite medieval conflicts or anything like that)

EVIDENCE:

• Submission to men is described as "sexually very alluring" (by a guy) and that women implicitly want to submit to totalitarian Muslim societies / men instead of feminized men in Scandinavia
• NEXT claims that Swedish women are converting to Islam -> says this is because women are attracted to the [traditional] family life -> therefore DO implicitly want a traditional family structure run by a man and therefore the west needs to rise up and put its men back on traditional warrior culture path

Fucking hell

EVIDENCE

• In Scandinavia, obvious viking heritage
• Here, actually calls out romanticization of vikings -> they're "barbarians"
• AND YET -> women are being (allegedly) sexually assault and just plain old assaulted by Muslim men entering Scandanavia while modern men stand by and watch
• This makes modern men MORE barbaric (and, consequently, less civilized) than vikings who "wouldn't have stood by and watched"

COUNTERJIHAD ARGUMENT

• Again, post from GALLIA WATCH (women?) -> on some forum mentions that Europe is being feminized by the (rest of world?) -> idea of Europe as land to be conquered and whose women can be raped -> "gang rapes" by Muslim men
• A "tribe" that doesn't protect its women behaves as if it already lost the war
• THERFORE -> suggests need to assert masculine warrior values in order to protect women from existential Jihad threat

lol ok

Yikes

ARGUMENT

• HARKENS BACK TO HISTORICAL CONFLICTS NOT JUST KNIGHTHOOD
• By doing so, legitimizes the foundation of traditional masculinity/gender roles in western society by saying we need to protect women against this existential threat
• Legitimizes the threat by painting all Muslims as engaged in the same jihad as the "modern one"
• Therefore, Counter Jihad movement uses its anti-islam rhetoric NOT just to ban Muslims from Europe, but to put women in their place

KNIGHT IMAGERY

• Past Muslim conflicts shown to result in "rape of women and stolen children:

Explicitly counter Jihad movement

WesternWomen/Legitimacy

• DIRECTLY links feminism to rise in Muslim "colonization" of west
• Thereby paints west as victim as well

Knight/Legitimacy

• gender theory and affirmative action and all that ERODE the family base and therefore justify a cultural traditional reset into this knights templar model -> draws on historical military traditions this way

Uh oh

WesternWomen

Military

• "assault" of feminism compromises west

KNIGHT IMAGERY

MILITARY

• Role of women in military is degeneracy -> actually causes (male) "warriors" to leave and militaries to be compromised. -"Inferiority" of the male -> uses sexual harrassment charges to "keep men in line"

KNIGHTIMAGERY

• "inquisitors of political correctness" who must be "defeated" by standing up to them

lmao

Sex

• Side note, how does abstinence and Christian purity factor in here? I think he's explicitly said he doesn't agree with sex before marriage -> KNIGHTS

Sex

Unorthodox, women-liberated "authoritarian" families must be fought against -> miniatures of the authoritarian state

Blames promiscuity, etc on the unleashing of the "primeval" power of sex from its "civilized restraints"

KNIGHTIMAGERY

• Muslims, FEMINISISTS AND HOMOSEXUALS could be the "vanguard" of a communist revolution in Europe

KNIGHTIMAGERY

• Cultural Terrorism was acts that promoted ideas of free love, etc in schools and those which unmoored women from their traditional roles (implicit threat to monogamy/fear of abandonment by women)

KNIGHTIMAGERY

• This is a BATTLE with cultural marxism

KNIGHTIMAGERY

• Those who would oppose must embrace the "old rules" of our culture
• Explicitly says women should NOT be 'cops or soldiers" but instead remain housekeepers

KNIGHTIMAGERY

• Homosexuality a direct PHYSICALY threat to society that must be vanquished -> AIDS is voluntary and root of problem lies in the Gays™

CulturalMarxism

it ALLOWS Islamification

KNIGHTIMAGERY

• Cultural Marxism "looming over" western Europe like a colossus

Deconstructionism (post modernism) means reading meaning into texts that simply isn't there

CulturalMarxism

• White 'native" MEN are penalized by the state which acts in the interests of minorities / victims

CulturalMarxism Definition

EUROPE

cultural marxism contradicts human nature BECAUSE not everyone is meant to be equal

Again, not just relying on memory of warrior tropes to get rid of Islam -> but to counter emasculating ideologies (policical corectness)

EUROPE

• PORNOGRAPHY as a weapon?

lmao what

EUROPE

claims modern society is way more violent (carjacking, mugginf, other dogwhistle minority crimes)

EUROPE

Consistantly identifies all of European society as one "country" -> Knights Templar not a pan-European society? These conflicts not one bi-cultural clash, but a series of Christian nations bickering that temporarily aligned?

WesternWomen

• Idyllic 50s women devoted themselves to running households and men treated women "like ladies" -> emphasis on lots of (presumably white) children

WesternSociety

ideology and political correctedness (which is one) are not masculine because of these allowances -> therefore immoral (so Breivik's masculinity is drawn on from Knight's templar NOT just to denounce Islam, but also to reign in control at home back to the white Christian male

WesternWomen

• Claims that those who speak against ideology (conservatives) are greeted with hatred -> point out that WOMEN AND MEN SHOULD OCCUPY TRADITIONAL ROLES THAT REFLECT DIFFERENT NATURES -> HOMOSEXUALITY AND FEMINISM UNNATURAL (but how to tie to war?)

WesternWomen

Defines feminism as an ideology? -> therefore "wrong" since ideologies assume they are absolutely correct instead of the "nuance" of conservatism

Fuck you Breivik (test)

Again, in face of globalization (Americanism, neoliberal economics) -> resistance and creation of reinforced regional identity. Overall Cape Breton is in a very bleak situation -> highest child poverty rates, lack of educational opportunities, but regional identity exists despite this. Identifies CB as a region existing outside of a localized/municipal or national identity -> existing despite these

1960s: - American popular culture enters -> commercialization imminent. Documentary about the demise of fiddling tradition -> sparks organized communal attempts to revitalize this-> succeeds and is internationally recognizable by the 90s. Linked to broader cultural revival -> again, tie to fiddle article's assertions that fiddling allows a cultural umbrella to exist despite it being "Scottish" in origin -> celebrated in cross-cultural manner as a regional thing distinct from Canada, Scots, etc. (above national and ethnic identity) Also. this movement sparks more government inspired regionalization efforts -> Crown Corporation of Cape Breton Development Corporation (Devco) and the Industrial Development Division (IDD) 70s-90s.

Banfield migration can be seen as echo since this was one fo the "most dramatic movements of people in NFLD history" Defines migration as a cumulative result of individual decisions based on rational decisions / benefit/costs evaluation as opposed to something that happens within a fixed period, etc -> THEREFORE can be retroactively extended to the 30s, 40s since the same trend is almost verbatim followed. ALSO -> notes that permanent almost always preceded by seasonal migration (which Pauline's father partook in)

Crisis in fisheries of NFLD in late 19th-early 20th centuries mirrors the lack of work still present in the 30s, 40s that prompted the Banfield's relocation to Sydney / CB as industrialization. Mirrors in that they relocated from a rural economy to a predominantly industrial one -> Banfield's reactions "Like moving to New York" -> this makes the establishment of a tight knit community / regional identity even MORE impressive / compelling -> should be alienating, and yet Banfield's experiences closely resemble her's as a child growing up in NFLD. - Could be argued that NFLD has this unique identity too -> but closer inspection shows other reasons (as mentioned, that Banfield related to much of population, more ethnic/religious cohesion, actually a locality -> never went to St John's (none of her family members did aside from father) -> unlike later on when she bounced around entire island. -> doesn't mention this as a possibility in more rural setting.

DEFINES region as something distinct from a locality (city, etc) or nation-state -> economic, political, cultural, etc -> individuals and communities may develop attachments to this type of identity. In This study's case, primarily looking @ Cape Breton's Gaels -> underrepresented in research thus far

Cape Breton overall pretty bleak. Highest child poverty rates, substance abuse, lack of educational opportunities, and outmigration. It's the latter of these that actually CONTRIBUTES to CB's regionality (via isolation I guess).

Hmm...maybe, even for someone who felt confined and constricted by the heterosexual norms that surrounded her, still found company / friendship , etc

GENERAL: - Also worked at the bank in Sydney -> quits and joins SYDNEY's BIGGEST INDUSTRY -> STEEL PLANT

LEISURE: despite living decades apart and leading different lifestyles, enjoyed remarkably similar passtimes. Summer road trips, movie theatres (as COMMUNAL spaces again), sport, dance, music. Also involved in Canadian Girls in Training (CGIT) -> youth org run by Church that Nana was also a part of. Therefore partook in and enjoyed same communal forms of leisure guaranteed because of security and close social ties/atmosphere of neighbourly behaviour and friendliness. Also shows that all this extended beyond Sydney into the surrounding Cape Breton towns.

LEISURE: Obviously an outlier, but DID escape into the wilds -> showed it was secure enough and with company

OPPOSED TO NATION OF ISLAM AND SEPARATE BLACK IDENTITY > "segregation is not what we're working for" -> similar / opposite to what the Canadian identity peddled through MfM was -> just wanted to unify the world (but not really, just an ego boost).

labels it "Black supremacy" -> All black political community would be isolating

In either case, ONLY STUDENTS WHO'D RESIDED OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTY HAD ANY OPINIONS AT ALL ABOUT IT -> proves the isolation/detatchment from broader Black political sphere in America -> nationwide/ethnicity wide effort on both other cases's part.

Students still WANT education / see desire in it

test

MIXED LONG TERM EFFECTS on protestors: - Some become politically active - Others more "victims" than anything else - Protestors were small percentage of regional teenage pop -> distance and lack of transport limited their participation -> RURAL BLACKS vs URBAN JEWS? Also Black kids WORKING to support families (again, CLASS -> similar case for Jewish students?) So -> overall breakdown of connections between Black teenagers. Seems almost like the pandemic really. Did Jewish striking result in stronger ties?

Suit is filed ON BEHALF of students and request by them but, note, it was part of a broader "community organization effort" This is what SPARKED the case that would make up Brown v Board of Education Adults at NAACP impressed not with kids alone, but with "community effort" THIS results in schools shutting down -> had wanted better facilities before hand (contrast to Jewish strikers who resulted in end of segregation?)

Fiercer opposition to Black communities here than Jewish? Massive push (90% of pop) to defund Black school board

COMMUNITY RALLIES -> EDUCATE THEIR CHILDREN THEMSELVES

Again, Baptist minister L Francis Griffin LEADS a new direct action initiative in the 60s -> MOST people of the 50 arrested were teenagers. So maybe not LEADING the initiative but certainly suffering the effects / on the front lines.

REGION is isolated in the conservative south. Ties to rights/labour orgs like the AFSC / Religious Society of Friends

In THIS instance -> adult orgs are more preciptating the action -> seeking end to segregation via reopening of schools and end to discrimination in hiring. That said, teenage picketers still at the front lines. It IS effecting them SCHOOLS AS SITE OF PROTST AND CATALIST -> CHILDREN USED HERE TO DRIVE SOCIAL CONCERNS -> CONCERNS OF CHILDREN AT HEART OF CULTURE/ETHNICITY

Attitudes towards their culture -> tied up in resistance (southern black culture) -> want to fight but also to escape and "see the world"

Also using kids w/o permission -> appropriating famine images

Noted by author here: - Handouts appropriate the clenched fist iconography but replace with an outstretched hand -> no struggle AGAINST a political ideal/nation -> instead idk abstract forces

Adopts aesthetics of a protest movement

Assertion of national identity, again, as a heroic and kind young nation but, perhaps a darker interpretation, one that is above the developing world and not racialized.

Even NOT a protest event -> MAIN CONTRAST -> actually used to make adults think the kids are alright and in line with national values -> NOT protesting for something else

NATIONAL IDENTITY -> Canada as a nation of helpers, Jewish identity being explicitly nationalist too and both events help create sense of nation hood.

Young people NOT primary targets / exclusive participants -> but utilized to gain support (just like how segregation affected all Black community)

Still see children as AGENTS though -> like Black teens getting arrested on front lines -> call to action.

Use of INNOCENCE -> same with Black communities? (maybe Jewish ones subverted this)

Overall, community rallies BEHIND Jewish striking kids - eventiually leads to more action, stepping stone to creation of Jewish streams/classes within school boards -> eventual schools

Allegedly bridging gaps between race lines in solidarity later in life

Jewish kid strikers never disciplined / recieved quasi apology -> what result did the OTHER kids get? Dependant on race? Other circumstances?

Conversely, how much agency did the suburban kids exercise?

What ISSUES are they addressing and how do these impact the children? - specifically related to schooling? ALSO -> how do schools faciliatte these actions ?

BROADER SENSE OF RISING MILITANCY (or activism) within community at large

OVERALL: The children's strike asserted the kids' Jewish identity by resisting antisemitism (ie, cultural attacks AGAINST their own culture). Also established the kids' belief /perception of themselves as operating members of the working class/ strikers in LINE WITH THEIR PARENTS who were labor-activists.

So... looking for: - Links to parents (or failing to identify) - Links to CULTURE because of oppression - Kids viewing THEMSELVES as activists (probably third reading/walkathon.

Violence creates specific discourses around the events in terms of collective and individual memory Discredits and silences individuals (Black students in this case) Violence forges memories torn with pain -> collective memory leaves no room for ambiguity (us vs them) Public histories are thus tarnished by these (ie, silences abound in memories of violence -> us vs them for the people, them vs us for the narratives spun by the state to discredit those who had violence inflicted upon them Result is to have competing narratives that ultimately leave gaps/silences between them

For "where does the Virgin Mary stand in the rank of saints" -> good example of at once tackling theological ideas and their give/take and evolution, but also of actual on-the-ground practice, continuity, agency of laity, and idk

liturgy could also fit here for explanation of structural-functionalism and lay agency

DIRECT contrast to Vauchez in regards to imposition / papal canonization

Might be good example to use here.

FOR examples, need: - emphasis on lay agency - functional role of religion explaining social action, etc - Ways in which bartlett counters Vauchez - Evolution or congruency, etc

Highlighrs TNSIONS

Like Arnold kinda -> belief and unbelief was a SPECTRUM across society

Hagiography though a GATEWAY into Medieval mentalities / worldviews At once shows Church imposition but also looks inside minds here

Akin to Vauchez here too -> Virtus is ultimately the biggest influence here.

Even THIS has roots in total functionalism -> asking the main questions deviates significantly ->Not "what scripture said" or even "what the Church imposed" but whoever was treated as such

So DOES touch on papal canonization but shows it within context of MANY "revolutionary" changes

This less of an emphasis on change over time / development / granting more agency is evidenced in part by the arrangement of Bartlett's book -> where the secnd (and significantly longer) half titled "Developments takes a thematic approach as opposed to chronological -> looks @ beliefs over specific subjects (martyrdom, types of saint, the concept of miracle) across time, space, etc

SO...NOT dealing with theology -> structural functionalist in that he wants to use Cult of Saints to explore behaviour (at least RELATED to belief and Church life) -> also actually other forms of life (trade, politics -> saints "taking sides" on secular disputes, giving bounty to harvests -> so in that sense his treatment of religion IS woven into society. BUT -> still not looking too hard at epistemologies? Ultimately still using religion as a means to EXPLAIN society

Also, again, not theology or taking Church doctrine as a given. Writing in the 21st century, unlike Vauchez in that it isn't necessarily a Medieval reaction.

In CONTRAST to Vauchez -> comes down not to this methodological approach / adoption of anthropological approaches that they share. Instead, is a matter of WHAT shapes belief -> Bartlett grants laity far more agency. DOES note a change over time (perhaps in process falls for the "developmental" fallacy) but not exclusively caused by the church. Does concede that papal canonization had an outsized impact, but notes many examples of the give/take of belief shaped by laity (example here)

Background in Medieval scholarship more generally -> has examined social history of communities, cultures, and crowns

also geographically across Europe and the Mediterranean

Again, central question is WHAT religion is secondary is how belief is created (imposition vs agency)

EDGES on positing that religion and "society" are inseparable but not quite

Structural functionalism

What is he referring to here?

Good outline for summary -> examines origins of cult-of-saint phenomenon -> over x amount of time (1000 years + w/ emphasis on the nature and PRACTICE of cult worship over time. Thereby LESS concerned w/ epistemologies and MORE with the actual material reality of how this played out

NOT like Vauchez in that h doesn't show us a vision of religion that was dictated and controlled by the Church -> DOES show how laity was involved in decisions and all that -> influencing change over time

Change over time: - Does he fall into "progress" trap? -> talk about the Reformation maybe -> blames "progress" more on environmental change (lower pop because of Black Death following 14th century)

1. Overall, might still be a functionalist in terms of using religion to EXPLAIN action -> but takes a view that the top-down approach is wrong and the laity have more of a role in shaping religion

Hmm that's a good point. Instead of just asking about the saints, looks at WHO turns to them and why

Unlike Japanese, Bin Laden and Al-Quaeda were NOT engaged in negotiations with the US -> did not have a military infrastructure, though the US did take the vision of a great caliphate seriously

this is all a FAILURE OF IMAGINATION on behalf of Americans - Racism is PART of this but not whole picture -> actually general sense of cultural superiority

So overall, clear evidence that the Japanese had military might and even technological advantage, but consistent underestimation by US forces

"Imagination" on display prior to Pearl Harbour - Pacific fleet relocated as a deterrent in 40 - Yellow Peril since Russo-Japanese war and role of media peddling this here

hmm

Three problems make Iraq's prospects poor despite elections success: 1. Ethnic divide (what author is arguing needs to be addressed through learning of nationalist movement 2. Religious revival of 90s -> radicalism and Islam in the constitution 3. Tanked economy -> no education or job opportunities

SO...young Iraqis (MOST, remember) might be drawn to radicalism instead

Iraqis themselves say standards of living and security are higher priorities than functioning democracy (understandably)

Hope: - All reject authoritarianism and Baathist ideology since 91 -> new ways of thinking about politics here - New constitution to prevent state excess power -> could hold return to authoritarianism at bay with legal checks - Most powerful Islamic leaders, as discussed, are NOT radical and anti clerical-state -> secularists NEEDED to form a new govt.

Saddam and the project to rewrite history: - Erased all pre-63 accomplishments/historical traditions - A new project could revive Iraqi historical memory

A NEW campaign: - Will need to assert Democracy's compatibility w/ Islam - tolerance of Iraqi political opposition has historic grounds / cooperation - Baghdad University here is key -> US SHOULD FUND THIS AND PROJECTS OF THIS TYPE HERE ALSO UN - NEEDS TO CENTRE NATIONALIST TRADITIONS AND RESISTANCE TO BAATHIST RULE - create national PRIDE by doing so (key) - Use the internet (lol) - USe this to spread word of democratic success in Muslim societies (like in Afghanistan lmao) - Using media (internet, TV, radio) to combat sectarianism -> talkshows w/ multiple viewpoints - Emphasis on folklore -> many formerly rural -> myths endure - National "town hall meetings" over zoom basically - Infrastructure infrastructure, infrastructure - truth and reconciliation commission - Emphasize interethnic trust here -> SO ONE GROUP DOESN'T GET BLAMED FOR TRAUMA LIKE IN RWANDA AND SA -

IN NONE OF THIS DOES DAVIS SUGGEST US INTERVENTION / CONTROL -> WHAT IS ROLE OF INVADER HERE?

" Iraq reminds us, in often dramatic ways, how important it is to intelligently synthesize the universal norms and principles of democratic theory with the unique experiences and practices of countries that yearn for freedom after years of suffering under official intolerance, political exclusivity, and dictatorship

KEY: - Is Davis "right" in all this? Ie, is the whole democracy project even a good thing, or is it just an imposition by the Americans. - Says that "individual rights, institutions for civil society, transparency of governance, MARKET MECHANISMS, and LIMITED ROLE OF STATE in social/econ affairs are all NECESSARY FOR ESTABLISHING DEMOCRACY

Ok, that said, Davis explitly says classical-liberal understanding / model of state here is non-effective

Answer is: - State that shoulders responsibility for employment, social welfare, and infrastructure - Crippled by Hussein and sanctions so free market utopia a bollocks dream - This would draw once again on Nationalist tradition -> Iraqi communist and National Democratic Parties of earlier-in-the-century. - Need land reforms, education and employment guarantees, etc

Baathist Political Makeup: - Hussein favours Sunni's overwhelmingly. A group who, historically, are mostly poor/rural having not lived in the oil-rich areas of the north (Kurds) and south (Shi'ites) Therefore fear any loss of power as economic turbulence Baathists have made this nationalist tradition unknown / not talked about REVIVING knowledge and education of this Nationalist movement would – posits Davis – help young Iraqis preserve democracy by demonstrating that anti sectarian cooperation is possible and has been done before.

Ethnic and religious makeup of Iraq is STILL not known in the west today even in higher levels

Same for, say, Northern Ireland or the Balkans -> but at least a cursory understanding or like you can namedrop the ethnic groups involved -> no such case for the Middle East (same for Vietnam? More of a unified ethnic group?) Also, more of a result of the "war on terror" -> ie, not fighting an enemy like "the Vietnamese" or "The Germans/Japanese" but "terrorists" IN Iraq and Afghanistan

So artistic traditions MUCH like the literary traditions of Russian intellectuals under Nick I: - Drew from "ancient" cultural / Arabic traditions of past empires to question the status quo and address imbalances in society - Also a Pan-Arab movement that exists which is more xenophobic but still broad definition of political unity / community

Nationalist movement promotes democracy because of the independent institutions it generates: - Free press tradition (carried on from Young Turks and ottomans) -> continues even after Batthist coup - Student, worker, academic, artistic associations all foster civil society - Overall VERY MUCH like Russian state under Nick I and Alex III/Nick II

Also democratic acts - ALWAYS promotes cooperation along ethnic lines - 1954 elections -> interethnic cooperation here - Opposition to colonial rule (ethnic unity) - rebellion to Hussein at tail end of First Gulf War -> intertehnic alliance across all 8 provinces

A note on Ottoman traditions: - We view, say, European states like Yugoslavia or what have you as maintaining infrasturucture from the Hapsburgs, Austro-Hungary, etc -> but not for Iraq which we view as a backward desert wasteland of nothing -> but there are imperial traditions here too

Ah, so THESIS: - opposite and yet the same approach as Hoogland Noon -> who argued that historical memory influences US policy for expansionism - Here, argues that scholars ignore uses of historical memory as a tool for democratic transitions - Collective memory definition the same (CHECK THIS AND COMPARE) -> group of narratives that everyone agrees founded the current status quo and led to the events of today

Societies emerging from authoritarian regimes often lack truest among citizens -> divided populace because of exploited wedges and differences (racial hierarchy, religious differences, class, gender) so no common unity Divide and rule Also force citizens into centralized hierarchical bureaucracies that breed authoritarian thinking -> combined w/ low population age in Iraq -> mean that legacy of authoritarianism looms large (they don't know anything else)

Counter? -> Who's to say that being under a fascist regime doesn't make you MORE united? WHAT are the differences between this kind of unity out of fear and/or might of a single unified Volk and this kind of historical memory / nationalism project? - Both use / abuse / TAILOR history to suit an historic memory?

K, so.

Iraq is transitioning to a democracy in 2005 -> 3mil vote despite terrorist threats However, majority lack clear understanding of what democracy is aside from being anti-authoritarian To this end, could an historical memory aid their struggle? There ARE democratic traditions in Iraq's history -> exactly like Russia being progressive under Nicholas I

This memory is: - foundation of the Baath party which was eventually taken OVER by Hussein - Even earlier Iraqi nationalist movement prior to 52 founding of the party (a branch, party itself began in Syria) - Hussein takes over in 68 in a coup -> BUT intellectuals from nationalist movement operate WITHIN system and resist.

The Enemy: -Immediate Pearl harbour comparisons - 9/11 CAST as an act of war by politicians - Michael Kelly and WP -> cites Orwell essay proclaiming pacifists fascist -NYT uses rockwell paintings as America under attack - BIN LADEN ARISES AS HITLER ANALOGY -> HAD BEEN TRYING TO PORTRAY HUSSEIN AND MILOSEVIC as such

All the Boomers fault -> create SPR to reenact the image and PROJECT their own ideals/image onto their parents (idealized images of themselves)

So BEFORE 9/11 Bush is complaining about the "underfunded" military and directly comparing his own times with those of the 30s in Europe. Quotes Churchill. So is drawing legitimacy from that era (lessons) to PREEMPTIVELY launch an American campaign to get back this country's sense of purpose -> a new greatest generation
