Download or read book America s Asia written by Colleen Lye and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-05-24 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What explains the perception of Asians both as economic exemplars and as threats? America's Asia explores a discursive tradition that affiliates the East with modern efficiency, in contrast to more familiar primitivist forms of Orientalism. Colleen Lye traces the American stereotype of Asians as a "model minority" or a "yellow peril"--two aspects of what she calls "Asiatic racial form"-- to emergent responses to globalization beginning in California in the late nineteenth century, when industrialization proceeded in tandem with the nation's neocolonial expansion beyond its continental frontier. From Progressive efforts to regulate corporate monopoly to New Deal contentions with the crisis of the Great Depression, a particular racial mode of social redress explains why turn-of-the-century radicals and reformers united around Asian exclusion and why Japanese American internment during World War II was a liberal initiative. In Lye's reconstructed archive of Asian American racialization, literary naturalism and its conventions of representing capitalist abstraction provide key historiographical evidence. Arguing for the profound influence of literature on policymaking, America's Asia examines the relationship between Jack London and leading Progressive George Kennan on U.S.-Japan relations, Frank Norris and AFL leader Samuel Gompers on cheap immigrant labor, Pearl S. Buck and journalist Edgar Snow on the Popular Front in China, and John Steinbeck and left intellectual Carey McWilliams on Japanese American internment. Lye's materialist approach to the construction of race succeeds in locating racialization as part of a wider ideological pattern and in distinguishing between its different, and sometimes opposing, historical effects.

Book The Old South Frontier

    Book Details:
  • Author : Donald P. McNeilly
  • Publisher : University of Arkansas Press
  • Release : 2000-01-01
  • ISBN : 1557286191
  • Pages : 281 pages

Download or read book The Old South Frontier written by Donald P. McNeilly and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this deeply researched and well-written study, Donald P. McNeilly examines how moderately wealthy planters and sons of planters immigrated into the virtually empty lands of Arkansas, seeking their fortune and to establish themselves as the leaders of a new planter aristocracy west of the Mississippi River. These men, sometimes alone, sometimes with family, and usually with slaves, sought the best land possible, cleared it, planted their crops, and erected crude houses and other buildings. Life was difficult for these would-be leaders of society and their families, and especially hard for the slaves who toiled to create fields in which they labored to produce a crop. McNeilly argues that by the time of Arkansas's statehood in 1836, planters and large farmers had secured a hold over their frontier home, and that between 1840 and the Civil War, planters solidified their hold on politics, economics, and society in Arkansas. The author takes a topical approach to the subject, with chapters on migration, slavery, non-planter whites, politics, and the secession crisis of 1860-1861. McNeilly offers a first-rate analysis of the creation of a white, cotton-based society in Arkansas, shedding light not only on the southern frontier, but also on the established Old South before the Civil War.

Book Farm Contracts Between Landlord and Tenant  Classic Reprint

Download or read book Farm Contracts Between Landlord and Tenant Classic Reprint written by W. C. Tichenor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Farm Contracts Between Landlord and Tenant From such conditions and by such methods of leasing farms it is not strange that confusion, disagreement, trouble and quite often law suits arise. Every year in agricultural sections the court dockets are crowded with cases between landlord and tenant, most of which might have been avoided by the use of carefully prepared contracts making clear the covenants be tween the parties. The expense of such leases is not great and it is a very doubtful economy not to secure them because iof the slight cost. Even by the best system of leasing farms the relation of landlord and tenant is one easily strained. There are so many kinds of work to be done on a farm, so many ways of doing it, the methods are changing so rapidly, that opportunities for differences of opinion are constantly being presented. Farmers as a class are very independent. Their life and labor have made them so. The farmer has learned to rely upon himself. He has by habit acquired his own way of doing things and he is inclined to resent suggestion as being dictated to.

Book Cry from the Cotton

    Book Details:
  • Author : Donald Grubbs
  • Publisher : University of Arkansas Press
  • Release : 2000-07-01
  • ISBN : 1557285225
  • Pages : 237 pages

Download or read book Cry from the Cotton written by Donald Grubbs and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2000-07-01 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Southern Tenant Farmers' Union was founded in eastern Arkansas in 1934 to protest the New Deal's enrichment of Southern cotton barons at the expense of suffering sharecroppers, both black and white. Their courageous struggle, in the face of determined and often violent resistance from their landlords, is the subject of this thorough study from Donald H. Grubbs, which was published to critical acclaim in 1971. Cry from the Cotton was the first full-scale look at the STFU and its leaders. It discloses that, although the union operated under noticeable socialist party sponsorship in its infancy, it drew much more upon the native Southern evangelical and populist traditions, much as the civil rights movement would do twenty-five years later. Grubbs convincingly demonstrates that while the STFU failed to gain immediate social justice for its members, it resulted in the formation of the Farm Security Administration, which even today continues to aid the rural poor, and it played a large part in forcing the formation of the La Follette Civil Liberties Committee, whose spotlight on management terrorism helped the CIO toward success. The volume stands as a classic on labor issues and class struggle and still echoes with the haunting plea of the dispossessed for equity.
