156. Journal of American History 85.4 (March 1999). JAH editor David Thelen deserves credit for a range of efforts undertaken to bring international voices into the journal. "A Note to Readers on the Internationalization of the JAH" in this issue notes, for example, that the first phase involved offering "perspectives on American history from some of our international contributing editors (September 1992)" and inaugurating "an annual award that provides the JAH's readers with an English translation of the best article of the year on American history that has been published in a foreign language" (1279)

Vaidhyanathan's "technocultural history of voting," which will be published before the 2008 election, will address voting technologies in developing countries, the 2000 Florida recount, and the Diebold controversy, among other issues, and "will examine how Americans put faith in technology to mediate the country's most important decisions."
