  • Culture, Coercion, and Patriotism: the German-American Experience in San Francisco During World War I
    CULTURE, COERCION, AND PATRIOTISM: THE GERMAN-AMERICAN EXPERIENCE IN SAN FRANCISCO DURING WORLD WAR I Marcus L. Bacher N July 15, 1914, a German naval cruiser, the Nürnberg, sailed from Q Mexican waters into the port of San Francisco. That evening, fifteen of the ship’s officers attended a banquet joined by San Francisco Mayor James Roiph and sixty prominent San Francisco Germans at the Saint Francis Hotel, to toast the Kaiser, President Woodrow Wilson, and the Nürnberg. The following day the front page of the California Staats Zeitung read, “City representatives and Germans warmly welcome the cruiser Nurnberg” and featured a picture of the warship and its captain, Commander von Schonberg. Over the following days, local German organizations like the German singing society and the German-American League of San Francisco entertained and celebrated the ship’s officers and crew, sang the German national anthem and the “Star Spangled Banner,” and exchanged toasts offriendship between the two nations in what the San Francisco Chronicle summarized as a “brilliant reception.” Three weeks later, American-German relations splintered as Germany became embroiled in war with England, France, and Russia.’ This paper is an examination of a period when international affairs had radical domestic impact. The First World War and the perceived belligerence ofthe German Empire produced a domestic hysteria against German Americans. A broad cross-section of Americans attacked their patriotism and loyalty and sought to restrict and marginalize their culture. Such widespread hatred directed against them was something entirely new to most of the German population. Since colonial times, German immigrants and German Americans had been one of the most diverse and influential non-English speaking ethnic groups in the U.S.

  • GERMAN IMMIGRANTS, AFRICAN AMERICANS, and the RECONSTRUCTION of CITIZENSHIP, 1865-1877 DISSERTATION Presented In
    NEW CITIZENS: GERMAN IMMIGRANTS, AFRICAN AMERICANS, AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF CITIZENSHIP, 1865-1877 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alison Clark Efford, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Doctoral Examination Committee: Professor John L. Brooke, Adviser Approved by Professor Mitchell Snay ____________________________ Adviser Professor Michael L. Benedict Department of History Graduate Program Professor Kevin Boyle ABSTRACT This work explores how German immigrants influenced the reshaping of American citizenship following the Civil War and emancipation. It takes a new approach to old questions: How did African American men achieve citizenship rights under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments? Why were those rights only inconsistently protected for over a century? German Americans had a distinctive effect on the outcome of Reconstruction because they contributed a significant number of votes to the ruling Republican Party, they remained sensitive to European events, and most of all, they were acutely conscious of their own status as new American citizens. Drawing on the rich yet largely untapped supply of German-language periodicals and correspondence in Missouri, Ohio, and Washington, D.C., I recover the debate over citizenship within the German-American public sphere and evaluate its national ramifications. Partisan, religious, and class differences colored how immigrants approached African American rights. Yet for all the divisions among German Americans, their collective response to the Revolutions of 1848 and the Franco-Prussian War and German unification in 1870 and 1871 left its mark on the opportunities and disappointments of Reconstruction.

In this paper, I analyze Asian American literature in three distinct yet interrelated paradigms: the Asian American literature of immigration, the Asian American literature of diaspora, and the indigenous literature of Pacific America, namely of Hawai‘i. I argue that the diasporic model has not entirely displaced or replaced the immigration one in the United States and in Asian American literature in spite of compelling historical evidence that by now the earlier established paradigm should have shifted into a background.

Luebke F or a hundred years, from the Age of Jackson to the Era of Franklin Roosevelt, German Americans complained about the political apathy they perceived to be characteristic of their ethnic group. As they saw it, German immigrants tended to be phlegmatic or lethargic when it came to political matters, at least in contrast to the vigor and industry they displayed in their economic pursuits. The Germans also appeared to be politically backward and ineffective, at least in comparison to the Irish.

  • Giving Room to the Anointing: Carrie Judd Montgomery's Influence On
    chapter 5 Giving Room to the Anointing: Carrie Judd Montgomery’s Influence on Women in Ministry Jennifer A. Miskov Introduction Carrie Judd Montgomery (1858–1946) was a leader in her generation who created space to launch many powerful women into ministry. By regularly celebrating and imparting her testimonies to others, she became an early pioneer in the Divine Healing Movement in North America1 as well as played an important role for the Holiness Movement.2 Additionally, Montgomery’s 1 “The Divine Healing Movement roughly spans from 1870 to the early twentieth century. Faith Cure, Faith Healing, and Divine Healing were all used to refer to the same American move- ment of which Carrie was a part.” This movement was birthed out of the Holiness Movement and was ecumenical in nature. For a more in-depth overview of the Divine Healing Move- ment, see Jennifer A. Miskov, Life on Wings: The Forgotten Life and Theology of Carrie Judd Montgomery (1858–1946) (Cleveland, tn: cpt Press, 2012), 57–69.

See also Paul Gale Chappell, “The Divine Healing Movement in America” (Ph.D. diss., Drew University, 1983). 2 Some of the themes of the Holiness Movement were absolute surrender, purity, and holi- ness. See Hannah Whitall Smith, The Christian’s Secret of a Happy Life (Chicago: F.H. Revell, 1883. Reprint, usa: Kessinger Publishing, n.d.) for one example of Holiness literature.

  • The German Element in Texas: an Overview
    THE GERMAN ELEMENT IN TEXAS: AN OVERVIEW by Terry G. Jordan The immigration of German-speaking people to Texas is a well-known part of the state's ethnic development. Historians, cultural geographers, linguists, and folklorists all have done research on the Texas Germans and they have published hundreds of articles, books, and pamphlets.' The main purpose of this essay is not to present new findings, but instead to provide an introduction for the volume by sketching an overview of the German settlement. Persons of German birth or descent form the largest ethnic group in Texas derived directly from Europe. As early as 1850, they constituted over five percent of the total Texas population, a proportion that remained fairly constant through the remainder of the nineteenth century (table 1, next page). Intermarriage has since blurred ethnic lines, and twentieth-century census data are of little help in estimating the size of the German-American group, but the German element in the state probably still accounts for about one of every twenty Texans. From the very beginnings of German immigration in the 1830s, a tendency to cluster in ethnic enclaves can be detected. Most Texas Germans live in a broad, fragmented belt across the south-central part of the state, stretching from Galveston and Houston on the east to Kerrville, Mason, and Hondo in the west; from the fertile, humid Gulf Coastal Plain to the semi-arid Hill Country (figure 1). Contained in this German Belt are the majority ofTeutonic settlements in the state, including both rural and urban concentrations. The German Belt is the product of concepts and processes well-known to students of migration, in particular the concept of "dominant personality," the process called "cluster migration," and the device of "emigrant letters." Most voluntary migrations are begun by a dominant personaIity, sometimes also referred to as a "true pioneer." This individual is a forceful, ambitious type, a natural leader, who perceives emigration as a solution to economic, social, political, or religious problems in his homeland.

  • Reflections on Leah Payne's
    AUTHOR MEETS CRITICS: REFLECTIONS ON LEAH PAYNE’S GENDER AND PENTECOSTAL REVIVALISM: MAKING A FEMALE MINISTRY IN THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY (New York: Palgrave MacMillan, 2015) LINDA M. AMBROSE, CAMILLA BELFON, ERICA B. RAMIREZ, AND LEAH PAYNE LINDA M. AMBROSE: Leah Payne’s book, Gender and Pentecostal Revivalism: Making a Female Ministry in the Early Twentieth Century, is important on a number of levels but as a historian, I would like to begin by setting it in place on the historiographic timeline. For many years now, especially since the second-wave women’s movement of the 1970s, scholars have been engaged in the enterprise of doing Pentecostal women’s history. To date, most of that scholarship has been dominated by what I call “the great woman theory” of history where researchers find women in the Pentecostal past whom they deem exceptional, and worthy of record. With that goal of recovery and celebration in mind, many important untold or forgotten chapters have been added to the annals of Pentecostal scholarship. I am thinking here of the recent important work of fellow SPS scholars like Estrelda Alexander and Amos Yong, Phillips’ Daughters: Women in Pentecostal-Charismatic Leadership (Wipf and Stock, 2009) and Alexander’s The Women of Azusa Street (Seymour Press, 2012) or Abraham Ruelas, Women and the Landscape of American Higher Education: Wesleyan Holiness and Pentecostal Founders (Wipf and Stock, 2010) and No Room for Doubt: The Life and Ministry of Bebe Patten (Seymour Press, 2012) to name but two scholars among many. Whether such scholarship is written with a tone of celebration and recovery or social justice and equity, it serves the purpose of disrupting the meta-narrative of Pentecostal great men and their often-unnamed helpmates and colleagues.
