Abstract

The article "Agents of Empire: Domestic Class Conflict and US Imperial Expansion" published in Diplomatic History discusses the significance of the Insular Cases in defining US imperial political categories. It explores the 1897 Arago ruling, focusing on maritime labor resistance and the relationship between labor and empire. The author, William D. Riddell, argues that labor and markets are interconnected in imperial projects, emphasizing the role of class struggle in shaping US imperial expansion. Riddell's research sheds light on how labor's opposition to overseas imperialism impacted the white working class and influenced US labor policies. [Extracted from the article]
