This study examines Chinese laborers on the transcontinental railroad and in the California gold rush. Through a study/survey of sources such as, Chinese Soujorn Labor and the American Transcontinental Railroad. Journal of Institutional and Theoretical Economics (JITE) / Zeitschrift Für Die Gesamte Staatswissenschaft 161, no. 1 (2005): 80–102. http://www.jstor.org/stable/40752497/. In this source, the author describes why the Chinese labor force was so prevalent on the Transcontinental Railroad. The Railroad administrators needed a cheap labor force that would continue to work hard. The Chinese were willing to work for a lower wage than Native Americans and Europeans, making them a good choice for administers to employ. My research relies on primary sources including photographs of structures that Chinese laborers built with no machinery and personal correspondence between workers on the railroad. I also analyze discriminatory legislation and legal cases from the 1870s and 1880s to highlight the extreme racism Chinese laborers experienced while helping build a country that was not their own. I supplement my primary source research with secondary source material describing what life was like in Chinese camps along the railroad and in California during the gold rush. Significance: The Chinese labor force that arose in the United States was crucial to the Transcontinental Railroad and to the United States. It is important as historians to understand the racial scrutiny that the Chinese were under while connecting the United States. As a country, we like to skip over parts of our history that gives credit to minorities. It is significant to view the Chinese immigrants that were putting their lives on the line for almost no money to make the United States a more united country, all while dealing with racism in both laws that were being passed by the government, and through violence.

AbstractIn the colonisation of Queensland, Australia it is commonly accepted that large numbers of Indigenous people were killed in the second half of the nineteenth century. Calculations of violent mortality have recently been revised radically upwards. We suggest that the methodology deployed in these new studies is unreliable, reflecting errors in counting and calculation, as well as underestimating the selection bias of the samples. We caution against projecting aggregate violent mortality where the underlying data are so imperfect and emphasise the value of more detailed local and regional studies to inform better understanding of colonisation's impact on First Peoples.

Prevention is becoming ever more central in UK care policy for older people, though precisely what this entails, and how it works most effectively in social care and support, remains ambiguous. Set against the "newness" of recent social care legislation in Wales, this article explores the perspectives of professionals on prevention and community development, particularly for older people. This draws on qualitative data collected from 11 Welsh local authorities, four NHS Wales health boards, and eight regional third-sector organisations, incorporating 64 interviews with directors, executives, and senior managers. Recent research has highlighted concerns over the slipperiness of prevention as a concept, resulting in multiple interpretations and activities operating under its banner. Consistent with this, our data suggested a kaleidoscopic picture of variously named community-based initiatives working to support the intricate web of connections that sustain older people, as well as provide practical or material help. Similarly, professionals highlighted varied agendas of community resilience, individual independence, and reducing the need for state-funded health and social care, as well as a range of viewpoints on the roles of the state, private sector, and the third sector. Analysis revealed fragments of familiar themes in community development; positive hopes for community initiatives, tensions between the mixed agendas of state-instigated activities, and the practical challenges arising from systems imbued with neo-liberal ideas. Realising the promise of prevention will require deft steering through these challenges.

Abstract
Prevention is a core principle in social care legislation across the UK. However, history shows great variability in how a preventative social care agenda is conceptualised and implemented. We report findings from an independent evaluation of the implementation of the '2014 Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act' incorporating a document analysis of reports and plans from Wales' twenty-two local authorities (LAs) and eighty-eight qualitative interviews from social services strategic leaders and operational managers within four Welsh LAs. Analysis highlighted multiple interpretations of national policy, with notable overlapping agendas. In Gramscian terms, there is a constant process of negotiating prevention values and agendas, with consequences for whose interests are served. This was apparent through drives towards cost-saving, financial sustainability and reduced service demand operating alongside values-based principles rooted in well-being and mutualism. Following Kenny's work in community development, we argue a 'fusing' of principles whilst espousing benefits for service users, potentially blurs the aims of the legislation, with implications for practice.

Recently there has been a chorus of demands to "re‐imagine" social care. Community and faith‐based organisations, policy, and academic communities are engaged in discussions on issues such as human rights for older populations, the future of residential care, how to better support family/community care, and strengthen local place‐based community development. Moreover, the Covid‐19 pandemic has added new urgency to this mission, galvanizing developments for change and collective action and exposing public troubles of endemic system failings, prevailing discourses of ageism, tensions with health systems, and limitations of market models of care and support. Prevention is a central social welfare principle in many countries. It is associated with policy and practices that aim to meet social care needs early and is explored in this thematic issue.
