When our editorial team devised this year’s theme of “Conflict and Leadership” back in August 2017, we had no idea that a major conflict was about to hit our region in the October wildfires and that the leadership of rescue workers, local officials, and the daily newspaper The Press Democrat—which has since won a Pulitzer Prize—would save our community and put it on a path to rebuilding. This issue became a special issue, then; the first section is devoted to traditional scholarly essays produced by Sonoma State students in pursuit of academic excellence, while the second section is made up of first-hand accounts by students, faculty, and staff who lived through the fires to tell their stories, which provides an archive of primary sources for future historians. We are proud of our community’s work on all fronts and feel proud to be able to publish and preserve this collective work.
Our student authors will teach you about the colonization of Australia and the New England girls who worked in America’s first factories, the role of Greek architecture in building the American idea and what the character of Nancy Drew says about American culture, what exactly is offensive about some kinds of language, what happened in the earthquake of 1906, and what went wrong with Russia after the fall of communism. Our contributors who remembered the fires were people who fled their homes in the middle of the night, first responders who aided the victims, and citizens of Sonoma County who love our community and feel ravaged by the devastation. As these stories become part of history, they will continue to carry their authors’ unique perspectives and experiences.
We are grateful to many essential supports for our collective work. Mike and Sheila McQuillen donate to us because they care about student writing and public education. Faculty, staff, and students as both writers and editors make this content as good as it is. And you, our readers, care about our community and our work. Thank you.

Welcome to this year’s publication of the best historical writing at Sonoma State University. Our editorial team has worked hard across two semesters to solicit and develop these essays, loosely grouped around the theme of “Changes.” The definition of history as a field of inquiry is the study of change over time, so this theme emerged as a possible way of unifying contributions on different topics across a long geographic and chronological expanse, but the great distinction of this collection is that these essays span not only history, but other disciplines as well. The contributors to this year’s journal started their articles as papers submitted to courses in history, anthropology, political science, and more, demonstrating that the human experience remains a unifier across so many divides of discipline, culture, and ideology. This volume, then, represents good writing from around the university.
The editorial team fielded many submissions and selected these exemplars owing to the high quality of the research, writing, and thinking that went into them as well as their reach across human history. Our editorial team has arranged them chronologically, beginning with an imaginative recreation on Neanderthal life and including stops in ancient China, medieval Scandinavian, the pre-Columbian Iberian peninsula, and the modern Middle East, all the way to the contemporary United States, where industrial food and Disney fantasies compete for American consumers’ allegiance. In no way can such a tour be comprehensive, but readers may taste a variety of cultures and times here, including a fictional foray into Vietnam.
Thanks to the editorial team of students who saw this work through with a combination of vision, diligence, and professionalism, and to the authors who trusted the team with their submissions and responded to editorial criticisms with maturity and a devotion to progress. This is an entirely student-produced journal: every comma, stylistic element, footnote, and flourish of design was executed by an undergraduate member of Sonoma State University, demonstrating the ongoing high standards of a community devoted to public education.
Thanks also to the faculty members from various departments who taught their students well enough and raised their standards high enough to foster excellent achievements. Finally, thanks to the History Department, the School of Social Sciences, and especially our longstanding donors Mike and Sheila McQuillen for backing their beliefs in the importance of good historical writing with the financial sponsorship without which this work would be impossible.
This journal was created across one of the most pivotal junctures in American history, as the presidential election of November 2016 created a divide across which old truisms cannot stand. At a moment when the nation appears sundered over the most crucial basic questions of governance and citizenship, it is a source of great consolation to me that at least here, a devotion to truth and excellence survives.
Happy reading!
