Download or read book Not in Our Name written by Jesse Stellato and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2012-07-16 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not in Our Name collects and analyzes the most important antiwar speeches in American history. It is a book about the origins and consequences of America’s wars, but also about the integrity and sacrifices of those who fought on the front lines of dissent. By telling the stories of the people who spoke out in good-faith disagreement with their government and fellow citizens, Not in Our Name records some of the most compelling acts of courage in American politics and some of the most passionate, beautiful, and mighty speeches in American history. In Not in Our Name, Jesse Stellato presents the history of American antiwar speeches in a readable way that is neither pacifist nor partisan, featuring speakers with diverse backgrounds and political beliefs. By combining historical research with a review of classical Greek and Roman rhetorical theory, Not in Our Name also helps answer a fundamental question: “What makes a great antiwar speech?”

Download or read book Eleanor Roosevelt s Views on Diplomacy and Democracy written by Dario Fazzi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-29 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume fills a void in current studies of Eleanor Roosevelt. Offering a comprehensive analysis of Roosevelt as a diplomat during the Cold War era, it is particularly insightful in analyzing her position on United States race relations while at the United Nations. It provides a new look at Roosevelt’s leadership from an American perspective played out on a global stage."- Maurine H. Beasley, Professor Emerita, University of Maryland College Park, USA "My grandmother was an ardent "small-d" democrat, as well as a Democrat - but she didn't think we were very mature in our living of it! This well-written and illuminating collection of essays, focused on what ER thought it meant to be a global citizen, offers a unique perspective of her views on a host of issues. Let us hope these fresh insights can inspire young people today to construct that better world to which she dedicated much of her life." - Anna Eleanor Roosevelt This book focuses on Eleanor Roosevelt’s multifaceted agenda for the world. It highlights her advocacy of human rights, multilateral diplomacy, and transnationalism, and it emphasizes her challenge to gendered norms and racial relations. The essays of this collection describe Eleanor Roosevelt as a public intellectual, a politician, a public diplomat, and an activist. She was, undeniably, one of the protagonists of the twentieth century and a proactive interpreter of the many changes it brought about. She went through two world wars, the harshness of the Great Depression, and the emergence of nuclear confrontation, and she deciphered such crises as the product of misleading nationalism and egoism. Against them, she offered her commitment to people’s education as an example of civic engagement, which she considered necessary for the functioning of any democratic order. Such was the world Eleanor Roosevelt envisioned and tried to build – symbolically and practically – one where people, the citizens of the world, may really be at the center of international affairs.

Download or read book The Paradox of Paternalism written by Elizabeth S. Manley and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin American Studies Association Haiti-Dominican Republic Section Isis Duarte Book Prize From the rise of dictator Rafael Trujillo in the early 1930s through the twelve-year rule of his successor Joaquín Balaguer in the 1960s and 1970s, women are frequently absent or erased from public political narratives in the Dominican Republic. The Paradox of Paternalism shows how women proved themselves as skilled, networked, and non-threatening agents, becoming indispensable to a carefully orchestrated national and international reputation. They garnered concrete political gains like suffrage and paved the way for their continued engagement with the politics of the Dominican state through intense periods of authoritarianism and transition. In this volume, Elizabeth Manley explains how women activists from across the political spectrum engaged with the state by working within both authoritarian regimes and inter-American networks, founding modern Dominican feminism, and contributing to the rise of twentieth-century women's liberation movements in the Global South. Publication of the paperback edition made possible by a Sustaining the Humanities through the American Rescue Plan grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Book excerpt: Leo Krzycki (1881-1966) was one of the most talented speakers in the union movement, and only John L. Lewis (1880-1969), considered the most skillful orator in the union movement, could surpass him. While he was described as "one of the most dramatic men in the American Labor movement," Krzycki has generally been ignored by historians and writers. Today, no one in the labor movement remembers him. "There was no one like him," exclaimed Mrs. Mildred Jeffrey. "He was a real orator; a very effective speaker who could make rousing speeches bringing people to their feet. Whenever they needed a speaker, they called on Leo." Accordingly, Krzycki has been recognized in every labor who's who since 1925. No labor organizer has made such large contributions to the formation of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America (ACWA), the steel workers, the rubber workers, and the auto workers as Krzycki. For over five decades he dedicated himself to securing social justice for the American worker through the union movement as well as the Socialist Party. Krzycki proved to be a premier organizer who met regularly with workers; walked the picket lines; and was arrested on several occasions. Unlike other union leaders who directed strategy from their offices safely ensconced from the battle lines, Krzycki struggled in the trenches, in the front lines, personally leading rank and file workers. A product of Polonia (Latin describing the Polish American community), Krzycki was molded by his Polish American environment. Born in Milwaukee, Krzycki learned early of the brutality inflicted upon striking workers. "The story of Grandpa Martin Krzycki's association with the steel workers at the Bay View rolling mills was told many times, of workers beaten and bloodied strikers gathering at Martin's saloon during the strike in 1886 and of 'matkas (mothers)' coming there tearfully seeking word of their sons and husbands," recalled Gene Krzycki. Fired at the age of fifteen while leading a lithographers walkout of teen-age press tenders in Milwaukee, Krzycki was blacklisted two years. Later he began his organizing career on behalf of unions. Initially, he was a member of the Lithographers Union becoming a vice president in the International President Lithographer Press Feeders Union. A founding member of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America in 1914, Krzycki enjoyed a life-long, collegial relationship with President Sidney Hillman. Promoted from chief labor organizer to the Executive Board of the Amalgamated in 1922, Krzycki became a vice-president eleven years later. Naming his first son, Eugene, for Eugene Debs and his second son, Victor, for Congressman and socialist leader, Victor Berger, Krzycki joined the Socialist Party in 1908. Elected twice on the socialist ticket, he served as a Milwaukee alderman and then under sheriff. Running for Congress with Berger, he too was arrested in 1918. He ran again for Congress and also the U.S. Senate on the Socialist ticket. Working with all of the celebrated Socialist leaders of the XXth century, like Debs, Morris Hillquit, Berger, Norman Thomas, Hoan, Oscar Ameringer, Powers Hapgood, Krzycki became a member of the Executive Board and then its national chairman. Gene Krzycki revealed that "the closeness of Berger must have felt to my Dad and his family" was expressed in the token of gifts like the silver commemorative cup (see photo), a wooden play pen on casters, and tricycle bestowed upon Victor Krzycki. As testimonial of his rhetorical skills, Krzycki joined Thomas and Theodore Debs in a "Debs Commemoration Dinner." Using his Polish language skills, Krzycki traveled to the various Polonian centers of clothing workers organizing and resolving strikes. Polish Professor Adam Walaszek documented the many Polish locals of the Amalgamated, which also included Ukrainians and Russians. Often, Krzycki c
