Barthé, Jr. (Doctorate of Philosophy in History) Becoming American in Creole New Orleans: Family, Community, Labor and Schooling, 1896-1949 Summary: The Louisiana Creole community in New Orleans went through profound changes in the first half of the 20th-century. This work examines Creole ethnic identity, focusing particularly on the transition from Creole to American. In "becoming American," Creoles adapted to a binary, racialized caste system prevalent in the Jim Crow American South (and transformed from a primarily Francophone/Creolophone community (where a tripartite although permissive caste system long existed) to a primarily Anglophone community (marked by stricter black-white binaries). These adaptations and transformations were facilitated through Creole participation in fraternal societies, the organized labor movement and public and parochial schools that provided English-only instruction.

  • The Politician Truth Will Ultimately Prevail Where There Is Pains Taken to Bring It to Light
    The Politician Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains taken to bring it to light. —George Washington Obvious pressures to smother and ignore The Politician since its official publication are unmatched in the history of the American book world. Now that this explosive volume is available to anyone who will read and judge for himself, the hundreds of periodicals which were quoting and misquoting from it regularly for two years have failed to give it a review or a mention of any nature. There have been many case histories showing the influence exerted on the seven thousand regular bookstores in the United States which has resulted in a virtual boycott of the book—even by those stores that wanted to offer it for sale. In spite of these problems, the sale of forty thousand copies in the first six months after publication and the continuing strong sale have been encouraging. The truth, so fully documented, is not easy to keep buried, even by all of the powerful influences that are so determined to hide it.

  • 3. the Montreal Jewish Community and the Holocaust by Max Beer
    Curr Psychol DOI 10.1007/s12144-007-9017-3 The Montreal Jewish Community and the Holocaust Max Beer # Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2007 Abstract In 1993 Hitler and the Nazi party came to power in Germany. At the same time, in Canada in general and in Montreal in particular, anti-Semitism was becoming more widespread. The Canadian Jewish Congress, as a result of the growing tension in Europe and the increase in anti-Semitism at home, was reborn in 1934 and became the authoritative voice of Canadian Jewry. During World War II the Nazis embarked on a campaign that resulted in the systematic extermination of millions of Jews. This article focuses on the Montreal Jewish community, its leadership, and their response to the fate of European Jewry. The study pays particular attention to the Canadian Jewish Congress which influenced the outlook of the community and its subsequent actions. As the war progressed, loyalty to Canada and support for the war effort became the overriding issues for the community and the leadership and concern for their European brethren faded into the background. Keywords Anti-Semitism . Holocaust . Montreal . Quebec . Canada . Bronfman . Uptowners . Downtowners . Congress . Caiserman The 1930s, with the devastating worldwide economic depression and the emergence of Nazism in Germany, set the stage for a war that would result in tens of millions of deaths and the mass extermination of Europe’s Jews. The decade marked a complete stoppage of Jewish immigration to Canada, an increase in anti-Semitism on the North American continent, and the revival of the Canadian Jewish Congress as the voice for the Canadian Jewish community.

  • Chapter Fourteen 'Party Projects in England' (January 1902) Max Beer
    Chapter Fourteen ‘Party Projects in England’ (January 1902) Max Beer In his essay on ‘Party Projects in England’, Max Beer turns from the Fabian ideas of Sidney Webb to pro- posals from John Hobson to create what Beer calls a party of ‘socialism sans doctrines’ – a fusion of social- ist, radical and labour groups into a single, centre-left party. Beer’s account of the economic ideas behind Hobson’s project is in some ways reminiscent of Eduard Bernstein’s thinking in The Preconditions for Socialism. In particular, Hobson and Bernstein both rejected Marx’s labour-theory of value. Bernstein thought Marx could account neither for the distribu- tion of incomes in modern society nor for the grow- ing contribution to prosperity by service industries,1 while, for Hobson, ‘true surplus-value’, or ‘dis- guised profit’, was simply the excess that any party to a bargain acquired through shrewd negotiating or superior power. Bernstein reviewed three of Hobson’s early works in Die Neue Zeit: The Evolution of Modern Capitalism, Problems of Poverty and The Problem of the Unem- ployed.2 He was enthusiastic about Hobson’s ethi- cal convictions, but he disputed his emphasis on 1. Bernstein 1993, pp. 47–56. 2. Hobson 1894, 1891, 1896. 266 • Max Beer underconsumption.3 According to Bernstein, Hobson borrowed his theory of underconsumption from Thomas Robert Malthus’s explanation of trade depressions. Bernstein denied that capitalism necessarily entailed undercon- sumption, even citing Marx’s point that crises typically began when workers acquired a larger share than usual of the commodities intended for consump- tion.4 Hobson’s remedy for unemployment was to increase the consumption of the masses through taxing unearned income, shortening working time and raising wages.

  • The Holocaust, Canadian Jews, and Canada's “Good War” Against Nazism
    Canadian Jewish Studies / Études juives canadiennes, vol. 24, 2016 103 Norman Erwin The Holocaust, Canadian Jews, and Canada’s “Good War” Against Nazism 104 Norman Erwin / The Holocaust, Canadian Jews, and Canada’s “Good War” Against Nazism This paper examines the Canadian Jewish response to the Holocaust during the Second World War. Rather than disparaging the Canadian Jewish community for timidity in its dealings with Canadian institutions or suggesting that Canadian Jews were disinterested in their European brethren, historians need to contextualize Canadian Jewish actions within the domestic power structures of the 1940s and the confines of the Canadian Jewish imagination. With the Canadian Government censoring the Holocaust, the Canadian Jewish community framed the European Jewish tragedy around the idea of resistance to bolster Canadian sym- pathy for European Jews and give meaning to the Holocaust. Cet article analyse la réaction des Juifs canadiens face à l’Holocauste. Plutôt que de dénigrer la communauté juive canadienne pour sa timidité ou son indifférence, les historiens doivent remettre les actions juives canadiennes dans le contexte des structures nationales de pouvoir des années 1940 et des limites de l’imagination de l’époque. À cause de la censure gouver- nementale, la communauté juive canadienne a pensé la tragédie des Juifs européens autour de l’idée de résistance afin de renforcer la sympathie des Canadiens et de donner du sens à l’Holocauste. On October 16, 1942, Prime Minister Mackenzie King opened up Canada’s Third Victory Bond drive in Montreal by describing what the war against Nazi Germa- ny meant for Canadians. According to King, Hitler’s war was a Manichean clash between two diametrically opposed philosophies.

  • Military Government Officials, US Policy, and the Occupation of Bavaria, 1945-1949
    Coping with Crisis: Military Government Officials, U.S. Policy, and the Occupation of Bavaria, 1945-1949 By Copyright 2017 John D. Hess M.A., University of Kansas, 2013 B.S., Oklahoma State University, 2011 Submitted to the graduate degree program in the Department of History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Adrian R. Lewis Theodore A. Wilson Sheyda Jahanbani Erik R. Scott Mariya Omelicheva Date Defended: 28 April 2017 The dissertation committee for John D. Hess certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Coping with Crisis: Military Government Officials, U.S. Policy, and the Occupation of Bavaria, 1945-1949 Chair: Adrian R. Lewis Date Approved: 28 April 2017 ii Abstract This dissertation explores the implementation of American policy in postwar Germany from the perspective of military government officers and other occupation officials in the Land of Bavaria. It addresses three main questions: How did American military government officials, as part of the institution of the Office of Military Government, Bavaria (OMGB), respond to the challenges of the occupation? How did these individuals interact with American policy towards defeated Germany? And, finally, how did the challenges of postwar Germany shape that relationship with American policy? To answer these questions, this project focuses on the actions of military government officers and officials within OMGB from 1945 through 1949. Operating from this perspective, this dissertation argues that American officials in Bavaria possessed a complicated, often contradictory, relationship with official policy towards postwar Germany.
