Abstract

The fourth volume of The Cambridge History of America and the World examines the heights of American global power in the mid-twentieth century and how challenges from at home and abroad altered the United States and its role in the world. The second half of the twentieth century marked the pinnacle of American global power in economic, political, and cultural terms, but even as it reached such heights, the United States quickly faced new challenges to its power, originating both domestically and internationally. Highlighting cutting-edge ideas from scholars from all over the world, this volume anatomizes American power as well as the counters and alternatives to 'the American empire.' Topics include US economic and military power, American culture overseas, human rights and humanitarianism, third-world internationalism, immigration, communications technology, and the Anthropocene.

Abstract

De beeldvorming over de Nieuwe Wereld was de voorbije decennia aan fundamentele veranderingen onderhevig. Het perspectief bleef echter vaak westers. Het vijfde volume in de reeks 'Historisch denken' volgt zowel de voetstappen van de veroveraars als van de overwonnenen. 'Van ontdekking tot ontwrichting' analyseert chronologisch de gebeurtenissen in Amerika na 1492. De ontdekking van Amerika door Columbus resulteerde in een ontmoeting met de oorspronkelijke bewoners van het continent, waarna de ontginning van het grondgebied begon, die een enorme ontwrichting met zich meebracht. De vier thema's ontdekking, ontmoeting, ontginning en ontwrichting worden belicht vanuit een intercultureel perspectief van wederkerigheid en steunen op de meest recente historiografie. Daarbij gaat speciale aandacht naar de rol van vrouwen in de Nieuwe wereld. In een tweede deel krijgt de lezer aan de hand van een waaier aan historische bronnen een didactische vertaling geschikt voor leerlingen van de tweede graad secundair onderwijs, helemaal conform de nieuwe eindtermen geschiedenis.

Abstract

Since the mid-nineteenth century photography has played a central role in cultural encounters within and between migrant communities in the United States. Migrant histories have been mediated through the photographic image, and the cultural practices of photography have themselves been transformed as migrant communities mobilise the photographic image to navigate experiences of cultural dislocation and the forging of new identities. Exploring photographic images and the cultural practices of photography as ‘contact zones’ through which cultural exchange and transformation takes place, this volume addresses the role of photography in migrant histories in the United States from the mid-nineteenth century to today. Taking as its focal point photography’s role in shaping migrant experiences of cultural transformation, and how migrant experiences have re-configured culturally differentiated practices of photography, case studies on migration from Europe, Central America, and North America position photography as entwined with cultural histories of migration and cultural transformation in the United States.
