| Summary/Abstract |
“Interior’s Exterior” investigates an unexamined material lineage of the Point Four program, the foreign policy initiated by President Truman in 1949 to offer technical assistance to the developing world. Unlikely foreign diplomats hailing from the Department of the Interior spearheaded efforts within participating Point Four countries to target and unearth foreign minerals. Decision makers rationalized the hidden mineral agenda within development by citing two resource-based ideologies, “resource globalism” and “resource primitivism,” which posited that minerals by nature evaded national sovereignty and primitive people’s understanding. To enact this plan, Interior technicians utilized procedures, from geological reconnaissance to juridical reform, to develop new commodity markets and ease foreign investments. Such procedures were historically and simultaneously used in the domestic context in order to dispossess Native Americans of their minerals. Building upon the history of U.S. settler colonialism, Interior field agents materially re-ordered foreign landscapes in preparation for the globalization of American capitalism.

| Summary/Abstract |
There, but for an accident of geography, stands a corpse!" thundered Max Shachtman-once known as Leon Trotsky's "foreign minister"-in New York City in 1950. By popular account, the line had been cooked up that night by a young Shachtmanite named Irving Howe; it ended the debate between the anti-Stalinist socialist Schachtman and his opponent, Earl Browder, former head of the Communist Party USA, who had been expelled from the party in 1946 at the behest of Moscow Central after suggesting that Soviet Communism and American capitalism might coexist after all.

| Summary/Abstract |
David M. Kennedy revisits the New Deal's relevance to our own time. He concludes that the stubborn persistence of the Great Depression through the decade of the 1930s opened the political space for the New Deal's greatest accomplishments, all of which were aimed at reducing risk in key sectors of the economy and imparting a measure of security to American life for generations thereafter.
