And yet many of the white men who went to the gold fields were products of the Victorian era: the same people popularly remembered as strait-laced, repressed, and order-loving. How do we make sense of this difference? Examining the closely linked gold rushes in California and British Columbia, historian Christopher Herbert shows that gold rushers worried about the meaning of white manhood in the near-anarchic, ethnically mixed societies that grew up around the mines. Their anxieties about reproducing the white male dominance they were accustomed to played a central role in the construction of colonial regimes. As white gold rushers flocked to the mines, they encountered a wide range of people they considered inferior and potentially dangerous to white dominance, including Indigenous people, Latin Americans, Australians, and Chinese. The way that white miners interacted with these groups reflected the distinct political principles and strategies of the US and British colonial governments, as well as the ideas about race and respectability the newcomers brought with them. In addition to renovating traditional understandings of the Pacific Slope gold rushes, Herbert argues that historians' understanding of white manliness has been too fixated on the Eastern United States and Britain. In the nineteenth century, popular attention largely focused on the West, and it was in the gold fields and the cities they spawned that new ideas of white manliness emerged, prefiguring transformations elsewhere."--Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a California $x Social aspects. $x Social aspects. 651 0 $a British Columbia $x Social aspects. $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Masculinity $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Men $z United States $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Whites $x History $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Gold mines and mining $x Social aspects. 650 7 $a Gold mines and mining $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00944493 650 7 $a Masculinity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011027 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a British Columbia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205265 651 7 $a California. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204928 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 830 0 $a Emil and Kathleen Sick lecture-book series in western history and biography. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n42010601 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240117013630.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=414A85960CF611EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
