Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Francis Lieber For a long time Germany has paid a high price for her military supremacy and her somewhat rigid system of government, by the constant drain that emigration to this country has made upon her population. During the last sixty years, no less than three million Germans have reached these shores, most of whom have made themselves homes where it was possible to enjoy immunity from some Of the discomforts which. They felt in their own land. Among these immigrants, who have formed a very valuable part of the population of the United States, have been many political exiles, who have been the special Object of the despotic measures that have occasionally threatened to stifle the national life of Germany during the present cen tury and it is impossible to overlook the almost infallible accuracy with which the German police put their hand on those young men who, under different circumstances, have shown themselves able to shed glory on the land of their adoption, as well as on that Of their birth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout American literature, the figure of the child is often represented in opposition to the adult. In Cradle of Liberty Caroline F. Levander proposes that this opposition is crucial to American political thought and the literary cultures that surround and help produce it. Levander argues that from the late eighteenth century through the early twentieth, American literary and political texts did more than include child subjects: they depended on them to represent, naturalize, and, at times, attempt to reconfigure the ground rules of U.S. national belonging. She demonstrates how, as the modern nation-state and the modern concept of the child (as someone fundamentally different from the adult) emerged in tandem from the late eighteenth century forward, the child and the nation-state became intertwined. The child came to represent nationalism, nation-building, and the intrinsic connection between nationalism and race that was instrumental in creating a culture of white supremacy in the United States. Reading texts by John Adams, Thomas Paine, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Augusta J. Evans, Mark Twain, Pauline Hopkins, William James, José Martí, W. E. B. Du Bois, and others, Levander traces the child as it figures in writing about several defining events for the United States. Among these are the Revolutionary War, the U.S.-Mexican War, the Civil War, and the U.S. expulsion of Spain from the Caribbean and Cuba. She charts how the child crystallized the concept of self—a self who could affiliate with the nation—in the early national period, and then follows the child through the rise of a school of American psychology and the period of imperialism. Demonstrating that textual representations of the child have been a potent force in shaping public opinion about race, slavery, exceptionalism, and imperialism, Cradle of Liberty shows how a powerful racial logic pervades structures of liberal democracy in the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Francis Lieber This volume contains extracts from the Diary and the copious correspondence of the late Dr. Francis Lieber, with such additional information as was necessary concerning his early years. Fortunately the greater part of his life was told by his own pen, and'the incidents of his later years were so few in number that they may be gathered from his letters. These were many in number, and the reader will see how varied were the subjects which attracted Lieber's attention. His zeal for the great questions of civic duty is familiar to those who have studied his books. Dr. D. C. Gilman, the accomplished president of Johns Hopkins University, has collected in two volumes the most important of Lieber's miscellaneous writings. This book, it is hoped, will complete the picture of the man. Doctor Lieber's widow had faithfully preserved every memorial of her distinguished husband, and the task of the editor has been almost entirely one of selection from a vast mass of material.

Download or read book Army Diplomacy written by Walter M. Hudson and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the immediate aftermath of World War II, the United States Army became the principal agent of American foreign policy. The army designed, implemented, and administered the occupations of the defeated Axis powers Germany and Japan, as well as many other nations. Generals such as Lucius Clay in Germany, Douglas MacArthur in Japan, Mark Clark in Austria, and John Hodge in Korea presided over these territories as proconsuls. At the beginning of the Cold War, more than 300 million people lived under some form of U.S. military authority. The army's influence on nation-building at the time was profound, but most scholarship on foreign policy during this period concentrates on diplomacy at the highest levels of civilian government rather than the armed forces' governance at the local level. In Army Diplomacy, Hudson explains how U.S. Army policies in the occupied nations represented the culmination of more than a century of military doctrine. Focusing on Germany, Austria, and Korea, Hudson's analysis reveals that while the post–World War II American occupations are often remembered as overwhelming successes, the actual results were mixed. His study draws on military sociology and institutional analysis as well as international relations theory to demonstrate how "bottom-up" decisions not only inform but also create higher-level policy. As the debate over post-conflict occupations continues, this fascinating work offers a valuable perspective on an important yet underexplored facet of Cold War history.

Book excerpt: Beginning with a summary of Francis Lieber's life, this book demonstrates that the man who introduced the study of hermeneutics to the United States, applying it to practical reason, deserves an important place in the history of American hermeneutics.
