“…the campaign led by black nurses for equality and acceptance in the early decades of the twentieth century was remarkable in many ways. Their protest served as an important foundational movement. It also expanded the role of nurses as political activists. Notwithstanding seemingly insurmountable obstacles, these ‘soldiers’ helped nurture a new political self-consciousness, for they saw themselves not only as health care professionals but also as dedicated civil rights fighters.”

This Remembrance Day, we invite you to consider the legacy of black nurses in WWI in “Black Nurses in the Great War: Fighting for and with the American Military in the Struggle for Civil Rights,” available online in CJH 47.3: https://bit.ly/CJH473C

Submit to the Canadian Journal of History’s special issue on Crisis History.

How has the pandemic context shaped our understanding of crisis? How are historians accommodating a pandemic context when studying other events? Can we tease apart the pandemic from other major historical events? How will the pandemic influence the historical implications of other crises? In short, how has, or will, pandemic thinking affect the way we do history?

“Sport is never about sport alone; rather, it is a visible expression of the unequal power relations that structures relationships between different groups of people. Within the context of the Indian residential school system, sport became the vehicle through which those unequal relations were reinforced.”

Braden Te Hiwi and Janice Forsyth examine the control and disciplinary effects of hockey at Pelican Lake Indian Residential School in “‘A Rink at this School is Almost as Essential as a Classroom’: Hockey and Discipline at Pelican Lake Indian Residential School, 1945–1951.” Learn how government officials and Church administrators leveraged school's hockey team, the Sioux Black Hawks, as a useful public relations tool to promote the “success” of residential schooling to the Canadian public.

This article is for the month of September as a part of Journals - University of Toronto Press National Day for Truth and Reconciliation collection.

While Covid 19-related policies overwhelmed our social media feeds and dominated our lives for at least several months, the pandemic eventually competed for our attention with other crises: Black Lives Matter movements, escalating climate crises, a new war in Ukraine, the findings of mass grave sites at Indian Residential Schools in Canada, freedom convoys, and a reversal of Roe v. Wade. These events suggest that we might need to better understand how pandemics trigger, exacerbate, or reveal other tensions, perhaps enough to warrant a characterization of this moment as a crisis era.

We are seeking contributions to a new special issue on Crisis History than answers the question: How has, or will, pandemic thinking affect the way we do history.

Themed Issue on Crisis History

For this special issue guest editors Jim Clifford, Erika Dyck, & Elizabeth Scott of the University of Saskatchewan, seek contributions from historians working on crisis histories.

How has the pandemic context shaped our understanding of crisis? How are historians accommodating a pandemic context when studying other events? Can we part the pandemic from other major historical events? How will the pandemic influence the historical implications of other crises? Does the 2022 US Supreme Court decision about abortion have particular implications due to the lingering effects of the pandemic that may continue to restrict people’s movement and access to healthcare? How have Ukrainian refugees negotiated the need to move and shelter amidst Covid? In short, how has, or will, pandemic thinking affect the way we do history?

Deadline for submissions is September 30, 2022

“The Gastromythology of English Tea Culture: On the UKTC’s Advertisements and Making Tea a “Fact” of English Life” written by author Arup K. Chatterjee of O.P. Jindal Global University is published in our Spring 2022 Volume 57, Issue 1.

Drawing on Roland Barthes’s notion of mythologies, he argues that the United Kingdom Tea Company’s advertisements, among others, reconfigured and standardized a gastromythology in English culture.

In 1927 the Nova Scotian government enacted Bill 174, which amended the existing Children’s Protection, Education, and Poor Relief Acts and instituted the Nova Scotia Training School Act. This legislative combination and the resulting Brookside Training School were the visible markers of success for eugenicists in their long campaign to institute eugenic policy in the province.

Featured in our Spring 2022 Volume 57, Issue 1, and available now on Project MUSE, is the article “’Louis Must Die, Because the Nation Must Live”: Blood, National Regeneration, and the Ex*****on of Louis XVI” from author Ari Hallgrímur Finnsson of University of Toronto.

Blood figured importantly in the rhetoric of both groups in almost exactly the same kinds of ways and relied heavily in both cases on the traditions of the pre-revolutionary era. Ultimately, the article seeks to use the symbolic power of Louis’s blood to trace important lines of continuity between the ancien régime, the Revolution, and the Bourbon Restoration. Paying attention to this continuity has two important effects.

“Japanese Public Health Concerns in Treaty-Port Manchuria” written by author Bill Sewell of Saint Mary's University Halifax is published in our Spring 2022 Volume 57, Issue 1.

“A more focused view also acknowledges the inherently abusive side of the colonial project, underscoring the potential to become categorically worse should the historical context shift. The Japanese imperialist effort in Manchuria in the first half of the twentieth century exhibits this range clearly, resulting as it did in particularly extreme behaviour.”

“Digging deeper, an analysis of the primary sources available suggests that Canada did, in fact, have additional and unique considerations during the Kosovo crisis, namely national unity. This analysis amply illustrates the close interconnection between domestic issues and Canadian foreign policy. During the Kosovo War, Canada had to balance sovereignty sensitivities with humanitarian concerns.”

“After World War I, cinema emerged as a powerful instrument of (counter) information for the colonial cause in the service of the European colonial powers, and Portugal was no exception.”

“This study discusses the overlooked subject of the Canadian state’s attempts to remove South Asians who had already settled in the country, as well as the agency of South Asians in early-twentieth-century Canada. The documents examined throughout this article show that the British Honduras Scheme failed when South Asians could not be convinced that it served their interests and found that they possessed the necessary resources to challenge deportation.”
