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.

  • 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.

Wilbers 2016 ABSTRACT Historians consider the years between World War I and World War II to be a period of decline for German America. This dissertation complicates that argument by applying a transnational framework to the history of German immigration to the United States, particularly the period between 1919 and 1939. The author argues that contrary to previous accounts of that period, German migrants continued to be invested in the homeland through a variety of public and private relationships that changed the ways in which they thought about themselves as Germans and Americans.

    WHAT AMERICANS SAID ABOUT SAXONY, AND WHAT THIS SAYS ABOUT THEM: INTERPRETING TRAVEL WRITINGS OF THE TICKNORS AND OTHER PRIVILEGED AMERICANS 1800-1850 by ASHLEY SIDES Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON May 2008 Copyright © by Ashley Sides 2008 All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS To God I am thankful for the fascinating complexity of humanity, which makes the study of history so challenging and interesting, and for the opportunity and ability to pursue studies of this history. I am also deeply grateful for the support of my wife, Jamie, through this process. From the very beginning she has made my goals hers, has encouraged me, and has patiently sacrificed to help me get through this Master’s program. I dedicate this work to her. I have been blessed to study under excellent professors at the University of Texas at Arlington. Some, in particular, stand out. Professor Thomas Adam has been the most important influence in my graduate studies. He introduced me to the Ticknors and their journals in the first place, and has mentored me through a graduate research assistantship and this thesis. I am indebted to him for the topic of this thesis, which he suggested and I ultimately found quite fascinating. Professors Steven Reinhardt and Joyce Goldberg have helped me to improve my writing by their strict emphasis on good use of language. I also greatly enjoyed working for Professor Goldberg as a graduate teaching assistant, in the process learning a lot about the art of teaching college students.
