Projects
FA-50167, Anthony J. Barbieri-Low:
Artisans in Early Imperial China.
Anthony J. Barbieri-Low, assistant professor of history at the University of California, Santa Barbara, received a 2004 fellowship that resulted in Artisans in Early Imperial China (University of Washington Press, 2007).  He studied painters, sculptors, masons, woodcarvers, and other Chinese artisans, 221 BCE-220 CE.  China had one of the most highly organized craft industries in the ancient world, and Barbieri-Low’s work places that industry in the context of Chinese social history, as well as the history of Chinese slavery and convict labor.
FB-37999, Michael Robertson:
Worshipping Walt: The Whitman Disciples.
Michael Robertson, professor of English at the College of New Jersey, received a fellowship in 2002 to research Worshipping Walt: The Whitman Disciples (Princeton University Press, 2008). Some early-twentieth-century admirers of Walt Whitman saw him as more of a prophet than a poet. Illuminating the early influence of Whitman’s poetry, Robertson’s study of several of Whitman’s admirers links their enthusiasm to the religious sentiments of the period and to other social and cultural trends.
FB-52330, Martin William Daly:
A History of Darfur.
Martin W. Daly, an independent scholar living in Maine, received a 2006 fellowship to write Darfur’s Sorrow: A History of Destruction and Genocide (Cambridge University Press, 2007). This is the first history in English of Darfur, the troubled western region of Sudan. It describes the region’s political history since the seventeenth century and traces the roots of the current crisis there.
