Book excerpt: This work explores the arrival of Greek immigrants to the southern urban areas, in the early 1900s, and their remarkably rapid adjustment and acculturation to life in the New South. The majority of these immigrants became modest entrepreneurs and achieved some economic prosperity, which was at the root of their successful settlement in the growing southern cities. Although there was no "melting pot," these newcomers swiftly adapted to the evolving American social, economic, and political tenets - as practiced in the South - even as they retained and adjusted their own deeply ingrained cultural and religious traditions.

Download or read book Radical Hospitality written by Nour Halabi and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2022-12-09 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radical Hospitality: American Policy, Media, and Immigration re-imagines the ethical relationship of host societies towards newcomers by applying the concept of hospitality to two specific realms that impact the lives of immigrants in the United States: policy and media. The book calls attention to the moral responsibility of the host in welcoming a stranger. It sets the stage for the analysis with a historical background of the first host-guest diads of American hospitality, arguing that the early history of American hospitality was marked by the degeneration of the host-guest relationship into one of host-hostage, normalizing a racial discrimination that continues to plague immigration hospitality to this day. Author Nour Halabi presents a historical policy and media discourse analysis of immigration regulation and media coverage during three periods of US history: the 1880s and the Chinese Exclusion Act, the 1920s and the National Origins Act and the 2000s and the Muslim travel ban. In so doing, it demonstrates how U.S. immigration hospitality, from its peaks in the post-Independence period to its nadir in the Muslim travel ban, has fallen short of true hospitality in spite of the nation’s oft-touted identity as a “nation of immigrants.” At the same time, the book calls attention to how a discourse of hospitality, although fraught, may allow a radical reimagining of belonging and authority that unsettles settler-colonial assumptions of belonging and welcome a restorative outlook to immigration policy and its media coverage in society.
Download or read book The American South written by William J. Cooper and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-11-17 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The American South: A History, Fifth Edition, William J. Cooper, Jr. and Thomas E. Terrill demonstrate their belief that it is impossible to divorce the history of the South from the history of the United States. The authors' analysis underscores the complex interaction between the South as a distinct region and the South as an inescapable part of America. Cooper and Terrill show how the resulting tension has often propelled section and nation toward collision. In supporting their thesis, the authors draw on the tremendous amount of profoundly new scholarship in Southern history. Each volume includes a substantial bibliographical essay—completely updated for this edition—which provides the reader with a guide to literature on the history of the South. This volume contains updated chapters, and tables.

Book excerpt: In January 2007, President Bush announced a surge of U.S. forces to Iraq to quell the ongoing insurgency and provide security for the Iraqi people. By June 2007, the aeroscouts of the 4-6 Air Cavalry Squadron deployed for their 15-month rotation in northern Iraq headquartered in Mosul. The Squadron executed combat operations across an area the size of New Jersey with the main effort focused on the violent insurgency in Mosul, the second largest city in Iraq. It was one air cavalry troop's mission to secure the ground forces in Mosul; statistically the most violent city in Iraq and a location the insurgency called "the Final Battle."This is a combat story of A Troop "Thugs", 4-6 Air Cavalry Squadron and the courage, leadership, and bonds that join soldiers together. The Thug Scout Weapons Teams fought fiercely for 15 months and relentlessly pursued the insurgents in Mosul. As the success of the surge in Mosul grew, the Squadron joined the Thugs with aeroscouts from Blackdeath Troop and AH-64 Attack Weapons Teams "Wolfpack" to support the U.S. and Iraqi Army forces in finishing the enemy. Over 15 months the aircrews hunted IED emplacers and provided deadly fire support to troops in contact. The Thug's and Squadron's valorous combat actions added volumes to the history of the Air Cavalry.

Book excerpt: It's the late '50s, that yeasty time of a new era struggling to be born, and Detroit is still the fabled Motor City, full of vitality, swagger and vivid characters. A young reporter is learning his craft, and the facts of life. A brutal murder turns out to be both more and less than it seems, and a handicapped boy becomes a pawn in covering up the truth. A gifted politician launches what will surely be a national career. A beautiful girl is torn between her love and the aphrodisiac of power. The story probes the city's gamy underside, from Jimmy Hoffa's Teamsters and their gangland allies to the "respectable" men who deal with them under the table. In the end, the tangle of interlaced schemes erupts into national news.
