Download or read book A F Carl Wiese Descendants written by O'Levia Neil Wilson Wiese and published by . This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1979, this book is the result of a Wiese family reunion. Initially, it was merely supposed to cover the immediate family or the children of Fred and Hulda Wiese. However, the search quickly expanded to encompass many more family members. Much of the information was yielded by the living children and grandchildren of Carl and Minna Wiese who came to the United States from Germany in 1869, leaving a farm that had been registered since 1689 and is still in the possession of a Chris Wiese. This work is full of well-documented facts such as: ship's logs, U.S. census records, church records, and wills. It also includes a genealogical table, citizenship papers, military records, emigration papers, family bibles, marriage records, etc. Maps and family photographs abound. Although the information contained within this book is a good mix of "both hazy memories as well as documented evidence," the author suggests that the reader "take into consideration that if time and age have distorted the facts and truths, these memories are better than knowing nothing."
Download or read book Places of Their Own written by Andrew Wiese and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-04-24 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Melbenan Drive just west of Atlanta, sunlight falls onto a long row of well-kept lawns. Two dozen homes line the street; behind them wooden decks and living-room windows open onto vast woodland properties. Residents returning from their jobs steer SUVs into long driveways and emerge from their automobiles. They walk to the front doors of their houses past sculptured bushes and flowers in bloom. For most people, this cozy image of suburbia does not immediately evoke images of African Americans. But as this pioneering work demonstrates, the suburbs have provided a home to black residents in increasing numbers for the past hundred years—in the last two decades alone, the numbers have nearly doubled to just under twelve million. Places of Their Own begins a hundred years ago, painting an austere portrait of the conditions that early black residents found in isolated, poor suburbs. Andrew Wiese insists, however, that they moved there by choice, withstanding racism and poverty through efforts to shape the landscape to their own needs. Turning then to the 1950s, Wiese illuminates key differences between black suburbanization in the North and South. He considers how African Americans in the South bargained for separate areas where they could develop their own neighborhoods, while many of their northern counterparts transgressed racial boundaries, settling in historically white communities. Ultimately, Wiese explores how the civil rights movement emboldened black families to purchase homes in the suburbs with increased vigor, and how the passage of civil rights legislation helped pave the way for today's black middle class. Tracing the precise contours of black migration to the suburbs over the course of the whole last century and across the entire United States, Places of Their Own will be a foundational book for anyone interested in the African American experience or the role of race and class in the making of America's suburbs.

Download or read book In Search of the Mexican Beverly Hills written by Jerry González and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Residential and industrial sprawl changed more than the political landscape of postwar Los Angeles. It expanded the employment and living opportunities for millions of Angelinos into new suburbs. In Search of the Mexican Beverly Hills examines the struggle for inclusion into this exclusive world—a multilayered process by which Mexican Americans moved out of the barrios and emerged as a majority population in the San Gabriel Valley—and the impact that movement had on collective racial and class identity. Contrary to the assimilation processes experienced by most Euro-Americans, Mexican Americans did not graduate to whiteness on the basis of their suburban residence. Rather, In Search of the Mexican Beverly Hills illuminates how Mexican American racial and class identity were both reinforced by and took on added metropolitan and transnational dimensions in the city during the second half of the twentieth century.
