“How Ya Gonna Keep ’Em Down on the Farm, After They’ve Seen Paree?” World War I Overseas Military Service and Rural Americans’ Postwar Occupational Mobility

In the aftermath of World War I, U.S. discourse was animated by the concern that demobilized soldiers, having experienced the world outside of their hometowns, would resist returning to farms and to their preinduction occupations. Did military service really encourage an occupational shift? Were rural individuals especially susceptible to and was emplacement in foreign locales especially culpable for this change, as popular culture suggested? Focusing on North Dakota, a state with unusually detailed World War I records, this article uses a novel linked census–military data set and statistical analysis to examine how individuals’ place-based military experience might have inflected their postwar occupational mobility. Whereas univariate models support the contemporary perception that farm boys with overseas service were less likely to remain in agriculture, increasingly complex models suggest more nuanced interpretations, with civilian individual and contextual characteristics and their interaction being significantly predictive of farm leaving. Addressing substantive gaps in World War I historiography by contextualizing neglected subpopulations, this research also shows the value of using quantitative methods to engage with critical military geographies. Operationalizing theories of place–individual co-constitution through the analysis of longitudinal, individual data demonstrates how interest in soldiers’ experiences and in the spatiotemporally distant effects of war can be productively intertwined.

“在他们看到 Paree 之后,你要如何让他们留在农场里?” 第一次世界大战海外兵役和美国农村战后职业流动

第一次世界大战结束后,美国的言论受到关注,即复员士兵在经历了家乡以外的世界后,会拒绝返回农场和他们的职业。服兵役真的鼓励职业转变吗?正如流行文化所暗示的那样,农村人是否特别容易受到这种变化的影响?本文以北达科他州为重点,该州拥有异常详细的第一次世界大战记录,使用新颖的人口普查-军事数据集和统计分析来研究个人基于地点的军事经历可能如何影响他们战后的职业流动性。虽然单变量模型支持当代的看法,即在海外服务的农场男孩不太可能留在农业中,但越来越复杂的模型表明了更细微的解释,平民个人和背景特征及其相互作用显着预测了离开农场。通过将被忽视的亚群置于背景下,解决第一次世界大战史学中的实质性差距,这项研究还展示了使用定量方法来研究关键军事地理的价值。通过对纵向、个体数据的分析,将地方-个体共同构成的理论付诸实践,证明了对士兵经历的兴趣和对战争时空遥远影响的兴趣是如何有效地交织在一起的。越来越复杂的模型表明了更细微的解释,平民个人和背景特征及其相互作用对离开农场具有显着的预测作用。通过将被忽视的亚群置于背景下,解决第一次世界大战史学中的实质性差距,这项研究还展示了使用定量方法来研究关键军事地理的价值。通过对纵向、个体数据的分析,将地方-个体共同构成的理论付诸实践,证明了对士兵经历的兴趣和对战争时空遥远影响的兴趣是如何有效地交织在一起的。越来越复杂的模型表明了更细微的解释,平民个人和背景特征及其相互作用对离开农场具有显着的预测作用。通过将被忽视的亚群置于背景下,解决第一次世界大战史学中的实质性差距,这项研究还展示了使用定量方法来研究关键军事地理的价值。通过对纵向、个体数据的分析,将地方-个体共同构成的理论付诸实践,证明了对士兵经历的兴趣和对战争时空遥远影响的兴趣是如何有效地交织在一起的。通过将被忽视的亚群置于背景下,解决第一次世界大战史学中的实质性差距,这项研究还展示了使用定量方法来研究关键军事地理的价值。通过对纵向、个体数据的分析,将地方-个体共同构成的理论付诸实践,证明了对士兵经历的兴趣和对战争时空遥远影响的兴趣是如何有效地交织在一起的。通过将被忽视的亚群置于背景下,解决第一次世界大战史学中的实质性差距,这项研究还展示了使用定量方法来研究关键军事地理的价值。通过对纵向、个体数据的分析,将地方-个体共同构成的理论付诸实践,证明了对士兵经历的兴趣和对战争时空遥远影响的兴趣是如何有效地交织在一起的。
