  • World War Ii and Us Cinema
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: WORLD WAR II AND U.S. CINEMA: RACE, NATION, AND REMEMBRANCE IN POSTWAR FILM, 1945-1978 Robert Keith Chester, Ph.D., 2011 Co-Directed By: Dr. Gary Gerstle, Professor of History, Vanderbilt University Dr. Nancy Struna, Professor of American Studies, University of Maryland, College Park This dissertation interrogates the meanings retrospectively imposed upon World War II in U.S. motion pictures released between 1945 and the mid-1970s. Focusing on combat films and images of veterans in postwar settings, I trace representations of World War II between war‘s end and the War in Vietnam, charting two distinct yet overlapping trajectories pivotal to the construction of U.S. identity in postwar cinema. The first is the connotations attached to U.S. ethnoracial relations – the presence and absence of a multiethnic, sometimes multiracial soldiery set against the hegemony of U.S. whiteness – in depictions of the war and its aftermath. The second is Hollywood‘s representation (and erasure) of the contributions of the wartime Allies and the ways in which such images engaged with and negotiated postwar international relations. Contrary to notions of a ―good war‖ untainted by ambiguity or dissent, I argue that World War II gave rise to a conflicted cluster of postwar meanings. At times, notably in the early postwar period, the war served as a progressive summons to racial reform. At other times, the war was inscribed as a historical moment in which U.S. racism was either nonexistent or was laid permanently to rest. In regard to the Allies, I locate a Hollywood dialectic between internationalist and unilateralist remembrances.

    REPORT OF THE CHIEF LEGISLATIVE ANALYST August 30, 2006 TO: Honorable Members, Intergovernental Relations Committee FROM: Gerr F. Miler ~k1 C.F.06-l727 Chief Legislative AnaiYst Assignent No. 06-08-1362 Guy Gabaldon: Recommended to Receive the Congressional Medal of Honor CLA RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution (Huizar - Reyes) to encourage the President, the U.S. Congress, and the U.S. Marine Corps to recognize Guy Gabaldon's accomplishments during World War 11 and honor him with the Congressional Medal of Honor. SUMMARY: The Congressional Medal of Honor is the highest award for valor in action against an enemy force and can be bestowed upon an individual serving in the Armed Services of the United States. It is generally presented to its recipient by the President of the United States of America in the name of Congress. Captain John Schwabe ofthe 2nd Marnes recommended Guy Gabaldon for the Congressional Medal of Honor, but that recommendation was not honored and this highest commendation has not yet been bestowed upon Gabaldon. No specific reason has been identified as to why this recommendation was not honored. However, Steve Rubin, producer of the documentary about Guy Gabaldon's life entitled East L.A. Marine: The Untold True Story o/Guy Gabaldon, states that "...it appeared there was discrimination in the military, particularly in the Marine Corps." He further states that "(the documentary) will...look at what Gabaldon did in Saipan and why he and other Hispanic Americans and Jewish Americans who served as Marines received lesser awards." In 2001, Congress passed a law that required the Secretary of each military department to review the service records of any Jewish American or Hispanic American war veteran.
