In the wake of the 1919 White Sox scandal and the suspension for life of eight players, baseball saw a precipitous decline in popularity, especially among America's youth. To combat this, a group of World War I veterans who were members of the newly formed American Legion created an organization to promote teenage interest in baseball. Led by John L. Griffith, who became the first commissioner of the Big Ten Conference, the Legion undertook the revival of baseball. In the 1920s and through the Great Depression and World War II, Legion baseball grew steadily. By 1950 it had become the principal training ground for major league players, boasting at its peak more than 16,000 teams across the country. Tracing the long history of this uniquely American institution, this work details each year's American Legion World Series and the ups and downs of participation over nearly a century.

Stories of change in four countries

Uptake and implementation of WHO’s Mental Health Gap Action Programme Humanitarian Intervention Guide (mhGAP-HIG) has been limited in many settings despite interest and effort from humanitarian actors. According to global assessments, international agencies report a considerable need for further capacity development to implement the tool within their humanitarian health activities. In response, the mhGAP-HIG capacity-building project was initiated in 2018. This report partially assesses the impact of the mhGAP-HIG capacity-building project on individual programmes and at the organizational level through case studies that describe the work of agencies in four complex settings. In reviewing these four examples, the report also identifies key factors that support success in implementation, as well as challenges and lessons learned, which may be useful for informing future implementation of mhGAP-HIG by humanitarian actors working in emergency settings.

Military Masculinity and Postwar Recovery in the Soviet Union

Military Masculinity and Postwar Recovery in the Soviet Union

Catastrophic wartime casualties and postwar discomfort with the successes of women who had served in combat roles combined to shatter prewar ideals about what service meant for Soviet masculine identity. The soldier had to be re-imagined and resold to a public that had just emerged from the Second World War, and a younger generation suspicious of state control. In doing so, Soviet military culture wrote women out and attempted to re-establish soldiering as the premier form of masculinity in society. Military Masculinity and Postwar Recovery in the Soviet Union combines textual and visual analysis, as well as archival research to highlight the multiple narratives that contributed to rebuilding military identities. Each chapter visits a particular site of this reconstruction, including debates about conscription and evasion, appropriate role models for cadets, misogynist military imagery in cartoons, the fraught militarized workplaces of nuclear physicists, and the first cohort of cosmonauts, who represented the completion of the project to rebuild militarized masculinity.
