@article{zonderman_2022, title={Collecting the Globe: The Salem East India Marine Society Museum}, volume={109}, ISSN={["1945-2314"]}, DOI={10.1093/jahist/jaac154}, abstractNote={The East India Marine Society Museum, with holdings that are now part of today's Peabody Essex Museum of Salem, Massachusetts, was one of the first systemically cataloged and curated collections in the antebellum United States. More than a cabinet of curiosities or collation of sailors' souvenirs, though there were elements of both in the museum, this pioneering institution encompassed maritime history and natural history, as well as the arts and cultures of Asia. Founded in 1799, the museum curated an image of Salem and the nascent nation as growing players in global trade networks—an image constructed along lines of racial hierarchy delineating the “civilized” and “uncivilized” worlds. George H. Schwartz, an associate curator at the Peabody Essex Museum, has drawn on the institution's rich archival and artifactual resources to paint a detailed portrait of the society across the seventy years of its existence as an independent collection. In its first three chapters, the books offers a comprehensive chronology of how the society acquired its holdings as it encouraged members to bring back natural history and ethnological specimens from their far-flung trading voyages across the globe. The fourth chapter focuses on exhibitions and displays mainly by recounting the construction of East India Marine Hall and the terms of successive curators of the collections. The fifth and final chapter examines visitor experiences by reading comments in guest books, as well as travelers' and journalists' accounts of the museum.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY}, author={Zonderman, David A.}, year={2022}, month={Jun}, pages={150–151} } @article{zonderman_2019, title={American Baroque: Pearls and the Nature of Empire, 1492-1700}, volume={106}, ISSN={["1945-2314"]}, DOI={10.1093/jahist/jaz192}, abstractNote={American Baroque is a richly researched contribution to the literature on commodities in global history. Molly A. Warsh traces the harvesting of and commerce in pearls across the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spanish Empire and through early modern European trade networks; she draws on environmental, labor, cultural, and legal history to reconstruct the commodity's impact. Pearls, harvested in the Caribbean, south India, and northern Europe, were a luxury item easily commodified and traded. They were also readily stolen, hidden, and sold in illicit markets to avoid the growing web of imperial regulations and tax laws. Moreover, the demand for skilled pearl divers—who often lived short and brutish lives constantly plunging into the sea—led to a flourishing trade in enslaved Africans. Warsh's study starts with Pliny's Natural History and early Spanish colonial law and then focuses on Christopher Columbus's voyages to the “pearl coast” of the Caribbean region. As the demand for pearls expanded along with the Spanish Empire in the early sixteenth century, pearl divers faced increasingly oppressive working conditions, and pearl traders faced growing surveillance from Spanish authorities. Yet despite the monarchy's constant attention, smuggling continued unabated, and enslaved workers resisted their exploitation.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY}, author={Zonderman, David A.}, year={2019}, month={Jun}, pages={156–157} } @misc{zonderman_2018, title={Civic labors: Scholar activism and working-class studies}, volume={15}, number={2}, journal={Labor-Studies in Working-Class History of the Americas}, author={Zonderman, D.}, year={2018}, pages={117–119} } @misc{zonderman_2014, title={Networks of Power, Knowledge, and Control in Industrializing America}, volume={40}, ISSN={["1552-6771"]}, DOI={10.1177/0096144214524346}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF URBAN HISTORY}, author={Zonderman, David A.}, year={2014}, month={Jul}, pages={806–811} } @misc{zonderman_2006, title={Minding the machine: Languages of class in early industrial America}, number={57}, journal={Labour (Halifax, N.S.)}, author={Zonderman, D.

Even the simple, and perhaps tautological, statement that labor history is the history of labor raises a host of questions that go to the heart of what may delineate this Ž eld of inquiry.
