- W247192102 abstract "IN 2000 OTIS L. GRAHAM PUBLISHED A STATUS REPORT ON environmental history in and of South. Noting that many of region's first professional historians had acknowledged and discussed significance of at least some aspects of what today we would call or southeastern environment, Graham observed that since then southern history has been losing its environmental instincts. Since 1960s general field of U.S. and for that matter world environmental history has blossomed and with good reason: evidence of natural environment's impact on human history, and vice versa, has become increasingly obvious. And yet, Graham lamented, for South the ecological connection as a central dynamic and also a problem, has made little mark on telling of our regional story. The reason, Graham supposed, was that with few exceptions historians could not stop thinking about war, slavery, race, and gender long enough to think about environment. (1) Regrettably, much that Graham lamented still holds. Environmental history has yet to catch full attention of historians. Over last twelve years, six articles on environmental history topics, one of them a historiographical essay, have appeared in Journal of History. Not until 2001 did Journal include in its annual Southern History in Periodicals bibliography a section on environmental history, with citations for 13 articles. The 2008 installment of Southern History in Periodicals lists 22 articles published in 2007, indicating some growth in field. By comparison, it lists 64 titles under heading Military and Naval and 155 under African American. (2) If environmental history has made few inroads into literature of history, it has, not surprisingly, failed to catch eye of other U.S. environmental historians. The field's leading journal, Environmental History, has published seven articles in last five years on places, more than any other journal has published on environmental history. (3) However, as might be expected given intended audience of Environmental History, articles often speak more to environmental historians outside history than to historians, which raises question of whether such scholarship is best considered history or environmental history that happens to be situated in South. Of course, this is a convenient but completely unnecessary dichotomy arising from environmental history's challenge to dominant narrative of history, as well as from dominant narrative's irrelevance for environmental history. For example, if antebellum environmental history does not help explain, say, coming of Civil War, then is it relevant to history? Conversely, if war is central event in narrative of history, then is that narrative relevant to environmental history? If there is an emerging environmental history of South, it is not yet integrated into general field of history. And history is not yet integrated into U.S. environmental history. Survey texts of history say relatively little about environment, their authors clearly not knowing what to do with Albert E. Cowdrey's This Land, This South, which fails to appear in their bibliographies. Nor is history well integrated into U.S. environmental history. Environmental history textbooks for undergraduate classroom treat South briefly and perfunctorily with discussions mostly of antebellum cotton and postbellum logging. (4) The inclusion of this essay in this special issue of Journal of History is an indication of modest but, I think, real change since Graham published his essay. So too is inclusion in The New Encyclopedia of Culture of a volume on environment. (5) Several recently published historiographical essays suggest as much, even as their authors also express frustration with slow pace of history's environmental turn. …" @default.
