Recenzii
“This book is full of interesting essays on the impact of World War I on Arkansas. Editor Mark Christ has assembled a cadre of first-rate historians who address a whole range of topics—from the roles of black Arkansans, to the great flu epidemic, to the roles played by women in the Great War.”
—Tom Dillard, Arkansas history columnist and former president of the Arkansas Historical Association
“Christ explains that the contributors wish to ‘encourage new research into the events of World War I,’ and there are good reasons to think they could succeed. Each of the chapters draws from key secondary literature while carefully analyzing an impressive range of primary sources, as in Roger Pauly’s examination of state newspapers after the Armistice. This means that the next generation of scholars will benefit from a number of critical leads. Moreover, the text is remarkably accessible, a rare feat for an academic anthology, and lay readers and undergraduates may find themselves engrossed in the stories and foundational histories. Finally, the book leaves a great deal of space for new scholarship. This study of Arkansas in the years from 1914 to 1918 is rich in local detail, but sometimes will enlighten readers, but the book may leave them wanting a more general sense of how the war shaped the history of the state and its citizens.”
—J. Laurence Hare, Arkansas Historical Quarterly, Spring 2021
“While many retrospectives highlight the diplomatic and military aspects of the ‘War to End All Wars,’ this one wisely focuses on the home front, in a state that was 80 percent rural in 1918. The War at Home is inclusive in its content, paying special attention not only to military enlistments and industrial mobilization but also to women, common laborers, and African Americans during a time of rapid social, economic, and racial transformation. The authors, all of whom are prominent historians of Arkansas’s past, present a cohesive and compelling story that links the World War I experience to the present.”
