CFP: Legal History and Mass Migration
[We have the following call for papers. DRE]
Legal Response to Mass Migration Between the 19th Century and the WWII
Confronted with mass migration, since the mid-19th century Western legal culture was forced to face migrants not just as a sum of individuals, but as a phenomenon demanding new legal concepts and mechanisms appropriate to govern and regulate groups and collective subjects. European migrants moving towards colonies and the East led to a reconceptualization of traditional international law doctrines on state sovereignty in order to de-territorialize Western citizens who occurred to be in the Eastern countries, freeing them from the imperium of the local authority and entrusting them to their own consular courts. Whereas immigration into Western countries led to the adoption of protective legal strategies and exclusion mechanisms to bar the dangerous others, emigration of European citizens towards colonized regions and Eastern countries prompted the elaboration of exceptional safeguards and privileges for ‘civilizing’ migrants. The new challenges of mobility led jurists and legislators to reshape the peculiarity of ius migrandi through terminological as well as conceptual revisions (e.g. the notions of citizenship, sovereignty, territorial state, undesirable and dangerous alien), the elaboration of new disciplines such as international labor law and international migration law, and the creation of special administrative bodies or jurisdictions (e.g. immigration officers; board of inspectors; consular courts; inspectors of emigration; arbitral commissions for emigration).
The Legal History and Mass Migration project (PRIN 2017) invites proposals for papers relating to the theme of the juridical response to mass migration between the mid-19th century and WWII. Papers can be based on different methodologies and may refer to a broad variety of subjects, including, by way of example:
- application of methodologies such as global legal history, comparative legal history, critical analysis of law to the study of migration issues;
- relationship between local rules and international migration law;
- tensions between human rights’ recognition and border control policies;
- non-Western legal approaches to migration issues;
- construction of legal discourses, theories, justifications to support, contrast, govern, or limit mass migration;
- models of citizenship and integration or exclusion of alien immigrants in different countries;
- role of case law and/or resort to special tribunals with jurisdiction in migration issues as means of departing from ordinary rules and constitutional protections;
- institutional and informal mechanisms (such as ‘soft law’, role of unions or charitable institutions, nets of assistance of national citizens abroad etc.) adopted to deal with mass migration problems in different countries of both departure and destination;
- impact of mass migration on national and international labour law;
- racial paradigms and immigration laws;
- local/global economic impact of migration and its legal regulation;
- exploitation of criminal law concepts, discourses, practices to stir the public conviction about the social danger of mass migration
Proposals for papers are due by 30 March 2021 and should be submitted by e-mail at legalhistoryandmassmigration@gmail.com in Word format, following this order: (a) author(s); (b) affiliation; (c) e-mail address; (d) title of abstract; (e) body of abstract (apx 350 words).

The Serbian Royal Family Celebrate the Baptismal Feast of St. Andrew the First Called
On Sunday, 13 December, the Royal Family of Serbia commemorated the baptismal feast (Slava) of St. Andrew the First Called. Crown Prince Alexander and Crown Princess Katherine marked the occasion in New York with His Grace Bishop Irinej of Eastern America. The crown prince stated:
Slava is one of the most important Serbian customs, and a very important day in the year for each Serbian Orthodox family. In previous years, we celebrated Slava in our Belgrade, with our Patriarch Irinej, with family and friends. Unfortunately, this year is much different. All of us have tragically lost our great spiritual leader, our Patriarch Irinej. My family and I are grateful for all the moments spent with His Holiness, for every wise word and advice he gave us.
Celebrating Slava is an opportunity to gather family and friends. We pray to Saint Andrew the First Called and to the Lord to give us the strength to overcome these challenging times, that when the pandemic ends, we will continue the tradition of our ancestors and pass on the legacy to future generations.
Prince Philip and Princess Danica with their son Prince Stefan marked Slava at Oplenac. They were joined by cousins Prince Mihailo and Princess Ljubica with their daughter Princess Natalija. Princess Linda, the widow of Prince Tomislav and mother of Prince Mihailo, was also present.
Cox & Rodríguez, "The President and Immigration Law"
Oxford University Press has released The President and Immigration Law, by Adam B. Cox (New York University School of Law) and Cristina M. Rodríguez (Yale Law School). A description from the Press:
Who controls American immigration policy? The biggest immigration controversies of the last decade have all involved policies produced by the President — policies such as President Obama's decision to protect Dreamers from deportation and President Trump's proclamation banning immigrants from several majority-Muslim nations. While critics of these policies have been separated by a vast ideological chasm, their broadsides have embodied the same widely shared belief: that Congress, not the President, ought to dictate who may come to the United States and who will be forced to leave.
This belief is a myth. In The President and Immigration Law, Adam B. Cox and Cristina M. Rodríguez chronicle the untold story of how, over the course of two centuries, the President became our immigration policymaker-in-chief. Diving deep into the history of American immigration policy — from founding-era disputes over deporting sympathizers with France to contemporary debates about asylum-seekers at the Southern border — they show how migration crises, real or imagined, have empowered presidents. Far more importantly, they also uncover how the Executive's ordinary power to decide when to enforce the law, and against whom, has become an extraordinarily powerful vehicle for making immigration policy.
This pathbreaking account helps us understand how the United States has come to run an enormous shadow immigration system-one in which nearly half of all noncitizens in the country are living in violation of the law. It also provides a blueprint for reform, one that accepts rather than laments the role the President plays in shaping the national community, while also outlining strategies to curb the abuse of law enforcement authority in immigration and beyond.

Many of those posts deal in one way or another with holiday reading. That makes me think of my 2019 Sebastian McCabe – Jeff Cody mystery novel, Too Many Clues. It is set at Christmas and features a subplot in which both Mac and a robber play Santa. There’s a holiday office party scene in the book that makes me a little weepy-eyed when I re-read it. Mac also played Santa in “Santa Crime,” one of the stories in my book Rogues Gallery. Both books are available in paperback and e-book ediitons.
Why I Focus on Eating Healthy Not Counting Calories
Now I have a healthy relationship with food and just keep it simple and nutritious. I don't feel the need to track my calories because I eat primarily plant-based foods loaded with nutrients and antioxidants. I also listen to body cues of hunger and satiety so eat slowly and with enjoyment.
The food I eat keeps me strong, healthy and feeling good and that's what matters. When your food is nutritious, it promotes healthiness and appropriate body weight.
Eating Healthy
I keep my refrigerator and pantry stocked with plenty of organic vegetables, fruits, yogurts, raw nuts, grains, and lean meats. I graze throughout the day eating small healthy meals every three hours. This keeps me satisfied and well-fueled for work and physical training.
Maintaining a healthy body is about living a quality life. This means being mindful of the quality of food consumed. There's a big difference in choosing to eat a fast food meal compared to an organic chicken breast with mixed greens. Healthy food is nutrient-dense, fewer calories, and provides health benefits. It even looks like you're eating more when eating healthy because you are.
This is a great example of why I don't bother counting calories. As long as I am eating lots of veggies, fruits, grains, and lean protein, the need and stress behind counting calories are pointless. I eat for health and listen to the cues of my body that tell me to fuel up.
Shop Healthy
I also apply a strategy when buying groceries. I shop the perimeter of the store and steer clear of the center aisles full of processed foods. Most grocery store setups are the same, produce to the right or left, dairy to the back, and the meat counter on the opposite side.
Part of my grocery shopping also means sticking to a grocery list. This allows me to stay on track and on the budget. I really enjoy the local farmer’s markets and shop those for organic produce as much as possible. I also love the organics at Costco.
I believe in keeping my food intake simple. Eating healthy gets a slam for being complicated and this is really untrue. How is eating vegetables and chicken breast complicated? The problem is not with the food but how we feel about making changes to our lifestyle. Diet culture has done a great disservice to society making us feel bad for fulfilling a basic need in life - eating.
Keep it Simple
Eating an organic apple with peanut or almond butter is healthy food at its simple best. Not complicated at all and something we can all manage. Grilling or baking a chicken breast is another basic way to eat healthily. Nothing difficult in the process. Again, the issue is believing healthy eating is some sort of restrictive diet that is a burden and doesn't taste good.
If we could just get back to the basics of eating to live, eating real food, and not stressing about it so much. Forgetting the unrealistic diets with their false claims and simply enjoying wholesome foods.
Think about our ancestors, what they ate, how it was provided, and prepared. They worked hard physically growing crops, raising cattle and dairy all from their own land. It was freshly picked, cooked, and consumed throughout the day. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner the way it should be.
I realize many of us don't live on farms or even grow our own food. However, I do try to eat as close to farm-to-fork as possible. What I do count is quality nutrients when it comes to my calories and that's good enough for me.

ASLH Announces New Fellowship
The American Society for Legal History has established the Herbert A. Johnson Fellowship, made possible by a generous gift from Jane and Harry Scheiber. The fellowship will be awarded to an early career scholar who works on the legal history of North America and is selected to attend the annual Student Research Colloquium. The new fellowship honors the prolific legal and constitutional historian Herbert Johnson, distinguished professor emeritus at the University of South Carolina and past president of the ASLH from 1973 to 1975.
In noting the significance of the fellowship, ASLH President Lauren Benton explained, “The Student Research Colloquium has been a wonderful addition to our annual meeting, bringing eight early career scholars each year for a full day of scholarly interchange and collegial engagement. The fellowship helps to lay a permanent foundation for this vital resource for the newest members of our field.”
Benton went on to praise Jane and Harry Scheiber for their vision in establishing the fellowship. “The Scheibers’ generous support of early career scholars and their choice to honor Herb Johnson beautifully advance the ASLH mission of promoting the future of legal history while celebrating the contributions of our most distinguished scholars.”
The Herbert A. Johnson Fellowship will be awarded for the first time in 2021. The ASLH continues to work to create other named fellowships in order to fully endow the Student Research Colloquium, adding to a similar effort to endow named fellowships for the Hurst Summer Institute.
Advancement of the Cause of Beatification for King Francesco II of the Two Sicilies

| His Majesty King Francesco II of the Two Sicilies in his later years. |
The opening for the case of the beatification of King Francesco II of the Two Sicilies, the last monarch of that kingdom, is to take place in the coming week. The announcement was made on 11 December by Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe, the Archbishop of Naples from 2006 until 12 December 2020, in a public session of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints.

"In the next meeting," Cardinal Sepe stated, "the Bishops of Campania will present two new candidates for sainthood, among them there is a king, Francesco II." The meeting of the Campania Bishops' Conference is scheduled for 16 December. Monsignor Antonio Salvatore Paone, of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, explained "The Conference must issue the nulla osta for the opening of the investigation into the 'heroic virtues' for the Servant of God Francesco II of the Two Sicilies. Immediately afterward, the Congregation will start the investigation, with the interrogation of witnesses." The final king of the Two Sicilies will be proclaimed Servant of God, which is the first step on the path towards sainthood. The last stage will require the verification of any miracles. "This is a separate investigation," added Mgr. Paone, "on scientifically inexplicable facts, but which can take place in parallel with that on heroic virtues."

The news of the opening of the beatification process for the king was greeted by the Fondazione Francesco II delle Due Sicilie, which collaborated in the collection and procurement of documents and testimonies on the life of the last Bourbon king of Naples. "He [Francesco II] is a figure who can teach us a lot about the relationship with suffering and poverty," said Don Luciano Rotolo, one of the co-founders of the Fondazione Francesco II delle Due Sicilie. Marina Carrese, of the Fondazione il Giglio, said that "the opening of the cause of beatification is a post-mortem compensation to a king slandered by official historiography, and it gives hope to those who fight to restore the South to its historical memory." Gennaro De Crescenzo, the president of the Movimento Neoborbonico, stated: "A solemn Mass for King Francesco II will also be held this year in Naples, on 27 December. The king was distinguished by his profound religiosity, for the many charitable actions that he undertook, for his love for the people of the Two Sicilies, as witnessed to the very end in the heroic defence of Gaeta."
A retrospective on the new AJLH
[We share the following thoughts from Stefan Vogenauer, Max Planck Institute for European
Looking back at the first five years of the new American Journal of Legal History (2016-2020)
The American Journal of Legal History (AJLH) was founded in 1957 and was the first English-language periodical in the field. When it was relaunched as an Oxford University Press (OUP) journal in early 2016, Stefan Vogenauer (Max Planck Institute for European Legal History, Frankfurt) was appointed as a co-editor. He shared the task with Al Brophy (University of North Carolina School of Law, Chapel Hill; later University of Alabama School of Law). As part of the relaunch, the Editorial Office was established at the Frankfurt Max Planck. In 2019, Al handed over to Felice Batlan (IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law in Chicago) in 2019.
The relaunch involved a major reorientation of the journal. While retaining its traditional focus on the legal history of the United States, it now aimed to reflect the recent enormous broadening of the intellectual horizon of the discipline and include a substantial number of contributions of a comparative, international or transnational nature.
Moreover, the design of the journal was overhauled, with a new cover and a revamped page layout. The editorial process was professionalised: an Editorial Board was established, a Managing Editor (Donal Coffey, since 2019: Victoria Barnes) and book review editors were appointed. New author guidelines had to be drafted, and a state of the art double-blind peer review process was introduced. The publishers created an attractive journal website, making all articles since 1957 available online and offering an advance access function.
The Frankfurt Editorial Office not only handled the peer review process, it also provided linguistic editing of articles written by non-native speakers and style guiding (‘blue booking’ and ‘OSCOLAing’) of all manuscripts. Many members of the Institute were involved in various roles: Ben Kamis, Anselm Küsters, Amber Maggio, Niels Pepels, Christina Pössel, Philipp Schmitt, James Thompson and Emily Whewell. The team took pride in seeing through 21 quarterly issues overall, without missing a single deadline for submission to the publishers, and in consistently beating the OUP journal average for the speed of the review and production processes.
After five years, the relaunch was considered to have been completed, so Felice and Stefan Vogenauer will hand over to a new team of editors who will be announced shortly. Beginning with issue 2 of 2021, the editorial process will be dealt with in-house by OUP.

New listings at Eurohistory.com among them A Poet Among the Romanovs!
Four more of our books were listed today in the Bookstore section (Shop Now) of our website at http://www.eurohistory.com
These new listings include:
This excellent book, authored by Galina Korneva and Tatiana Cheboksarova, includes nearly 600 photos, an overwhelming majority among them collected from the main archives of Russia and several European countries. The moment captured by these original photos is able, often times, to tell the reader far more about the unique world of royalty and aristocracy than countless pages of text. The authors relied on important information obtained from Russian and foreign periodicals, memoirs, and scientific literature. The English-language version of this book was expanded with contributions written by Arturo Beéche, the founder of Eurohistory and publisher of Eurohistory (The European Royal History Journal). Mr Beéche is an expert on European Royalty, as well as author of more than a dozen books about the various royal families that have shaped the continent's history.
The biography of King Michael of Romania, a heroic monarch who led his country through perilous times, only to be betrayed, forced to abdicate, and destined to a life in exile. This book was published as a commemorative for the King's 80th birthday in 2001.
The first-ever biography of Portugal's controversial Queen Maria Pia, wife of King Luis, mother of assassinated King Carlos. Using previously unused sources, as well as the famed Queen's correspondence, the author managed to reconstruct the life of a strong woman who had a terribly difficult life in a kingdom where she arrived as a teen bride. A Savoy princess by birth, Maria Pia dedicated her life to the needs of her adopted country, Portugal.
These new listings include:
Prince Vladimir Paley, first cousin of the last tsar, was a poet among the Romanovs. The rules of the Imperial Family prevented him from being considered a member of the dynasty due to the unequal Prince Vladimir Paley, first cousin of the last tsar, was a poet among the Romanovs. The rules of the Imperial Family prevented him from being considered a member of the dynasty due to the unequal marriage of his parents. This circumstance could have saved his life. Instead, when he was requested by the Bolsheviks to denounce his father, Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovich of Russia, young Prince Vladimir chose love, loyalty, honor, and affection. His only crime was being related to a dynasty of which he had not even been an official member. This is the compelling story of a young man, and a talented poet, who in different circumstances would have attained great heights. Destiny, however, played a sad role in bringing a brutal and early death to a promising life.
