Book Americans All

Download or read book Americans All written by Diana Selig and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 1920sâe"a decade marked by racism and nativismâe"through World War II, hundreds of thousands of Americans took part in a vibrant campaign to overcome racial, ethnic, and religious prejudices. They celebrated the âeoecultural giftsâe that immigrant and minority groups brought to society, learning that ethnic identity could be compatible with American ideals. Diana Selig tells the neglected story of the cultural gifts movement, which flourished between the world wars. Progressive activists encouraged pluralism in homes, schools, and churches across the country. Countering racist trends and the melting-pot theory of Americanization, they championed the idea of diversity. They incorporated new thinking about child development, race, and culture into grassroots programsâe"yet they were unable to address the entrenched forms of discrimination and disfranchisement faced by African Americans in particular. This failure to grasp the deep social and economic roots of prejudice ultimately limited the movementâe(tm)s power. In depicting a vision for an inclusive American identity from a diverse citizenry, Americans All is a timely reminder of the debates over difference and unity that remain at the heart of American society.

Book excerpt: Upon receiving a frantic telephone call in the middle of the night from Chaim Potnik in Israel, Robert Durham, President of Citadel World Bank in Los Angeles, California, decided the time is ripe to call a meeting of the eight men from around the world to come to the bank. Not since the finding of the Dead Sea Scrolls has there been such a happening in Israel. It was time to take action. After a performance in Jerusalem, Joshua Ward decides to take a few days to explore the little country of Israel. Today, he is on his way to Masada, a mountaintop in Israel's history. His seatmate on the bus is an Israeli girl, Aviva Potnik. On reaching the very top of the mountain, the busload of tourists is held spellbound by a great shadow looming overhead. Instinctively, Joshua snaps three quick pictures of it, thus starting him on an adventure that could make him the 10th man needed to complete the Circle. With the help of a reformed terrorist, Joshua is able to save Avi and Dr. Katz from the hands of terrorists. With Joshua's return to the States, he decided to retire from the ballet and become part of the circle led by banker, Robert Durham. The object is to do what the circle can to thwart terrorists wherever they can be found. Achmed, the reformed terrorist becomes an important personage in Joshua's life as they work together to gather information for the Circle. Their first assignment is Morocco where the threat of a terrorist activity could cost many lives.

Book The Tenth Man

Download or read book The Tenth Man written by Charles E. Day and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world of law enforcement and criminal justice in the South during the Jim Crow Era was vastly different than it is today, and segregation was especially difficult for black police officers who were challenged to enforce laws. William J. Day was one of the first 10 African American police officers in Savannah, GA. His story is one of courage, fortitude and dedication to his career and his family. In May, 1947, he joined the Savannah police department. In those days of segregation, severe limits were placed on black law enforcement officers. There were segregated drinking fountains in precinct stations. Black policemen were allowed to patrol only in black communities, and had to call in a commander if they arrested a white suspect. White officers would steam-clean the seats of their police cruisers after black officers had driven them. "The black officers were reduced to automatic civilian status when they walked off the job," recalls his son, Charles E. Day, Sr. "My father had to deal with it, plus keep a job and raise a family." William and Laura raised a family of four sons, one of whom was an invalid. Laura had studied nursing, but gave up her career to care for her family. She was always home for her children and the home was always filled with friends and good food. William J. Day, Sr. passed away in April 1972, just shy of his 60th birthday. As his son Charles approached his own 60th birthday, he wanted to memorialize the legacy of his father and pay tribute to a remarkable man. This book is written about this father's life and his family. The Tenth Man: Living in Black and Blue tells the story of this era in Southern history, the city of Savannah, GA, the civil rights movement and the lives of people who endured these hardships.

  • ISBN : 1469632691
  • Pages : 305 pages

Download or read book Making Gullah written by Melissa L. Cooper and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1920s and 1930s, anthropologists and folklorists became obsessed with uncovering connections between African Americans and their African roots. At the same time, popular print media and artistic productions tapped the new appeal of black folk life, highlighting African-styled voodoo as an essential element of black folk culture. A number of researchers converged on one site in particular, Sapelo Island, Georgia, to seek support for their theories about "African survivals," bringing with them a curious mix of both influences. The legacy of that body of research is the area's contemporary identification as a Gullah community. This wide-ranging history upends a long tradition of scrutinizing the Low Country blacks of Sapelo Island by refocusing the observational lens on those who studied them. Cooper uses a wide variety of sources to unmask the connections between the rise of the social sciences, the voodoo craze during the interwar years, the black studies movement, and black land loss and land struggles in coastal black communities in the Low Country. What emerges is a fascinating examination of Gullah people's heritage, and how it was reimagined and transformed to serve vastly divergent ends over the decades.
