    CHAPTER THIRTY THE AFFLUENT SOCIETY Objectives A thorough study of Chapter 30 should enable the student to understand: 1. The strengths and weaknesses of the economy in the 1950s and early 1960s. 2. The changes in the American lifestyle in the 1 950s. 3. The significance of the Supreme Court’s desegregation decision and the early civil rights movement. 4. The characteristics of Dwight Eisenhower’s middle-of-the-road domestic policy. 5. The new elements of American foreign policy introduced by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. 6. The causes and results of increasing United States involvement in the Middle East. 7. The sources of difficulties for the United States in Latin America. 8. The reasons for new tensions with the Soviet Union toward the end of the Eisenhower administration. Main Themes 1. That the technological, consumer-oriented society of the 1 950s was remarkably affluent and unified despite the persistence of a less privileged underclass and the existence of a small corps of detractors. 2. How the Supreme Court’s social desegregation decision of 1954 marked the beginning of a civil- rights revolution for American blacks. 3. How President Dwight Eisenhower presided over a business-oriented “dynamic conservatism” that resisted most new reforms without significantly rolling back the activist government programs born in the 1930s. 4. That while Eisenhower continued to allow containment by building alliances, supporting anticommunist regimes, maintaining the arms race, and conducting limited interventions, he also showed an awareness of American limitations and resisted temptations for greater commitments. Glossary 1. Third World A convenient way to refer to all the nations of the world besides the United States, Canada, the Soviet Union, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, China, and the countries of Europe.

DR-1766, the result of severe flooding in late May and early June , was clearly the most substantial with 44 counties declared as Presidential disaster areas. FEMA estimates that total IA and PA for this disaster will exceed $350 million. FEMA and the SBA received 17,844 applications for IA during DR-1766, resulting in over $127 million in assistance. The PA process is now in full swing with FEMA having 471 applicants from local and state government and an estimated 2,092 project worksheets. Currently 26 million dollars have been obligated to local governments, and PA total estimates exceed $150 million. While the estimated FEMA assistance is substantial, it will not cover the estimated recovery needs in the areas of economic and workforce development, infrastructure, and housing. The following summarizes the key unmet needs in each of these areas: Economic and Workforce Development The largest economic impact to Indiana will be in the area of agriculture where early estimates indicate that crop losses will exceed $300 million and land rehabilitation losses for activities like debris and sediment removal, levee repair and soil erosion repair will exceed $200 million.

  • Why Did the Import of Dirhams Cease? Viacheslav Kuleshov Institutionen För Arkeologi Och Antikens Kultur Doktorandseminarium 2018-01-31 Kl
    Why did the import of dirhams cease? Viacheslav Kuleshov Institutionen för arkeologi och antikens kultur Doktorandseminarium 2018-01-31 Kl. 15-17 1. Introduction The minting of post-reform Islamic silver coins (Kufic dirhams) started under the Umayyad period in 78 AH (697/698). Kufic dirhams were minted using a more or less stable design pattern for more than three centuries until around the middle of the 11th century. The most common are Abbasid and Samanid dirhams of mid-8th to mid- 10th centuries. The later coinages are those of the Buyid, Ziyarid, ‘Uqaylid, Marwanid and Qarakhanid dynasties. 2. Inflows of dirhams under the Abbasid period (750–945), and their silver content The inflow of Kufic dirhams from the Caliphate northwards started as early as around 750. By the beginning of the 9th century the first waves of early Islamic coined silver reached Gotland and Uppland in Sweden, where the oldest grave finds with coins have been discovered. The largest volumes of collected and deposited silver are particularly well recorded in Eastern Europe for the 850s to 860s, 900s to 910s, and 940s to 950s. Of importance is the fact that, as visual examination and many analyses of coins show, from the early 8th to the early 10th centuries an initially established silver content in coins was normally maintained at 92 to 96 per cent. In the first half of the 10th century the same or even higher fineness was typical of the early Samanid dirhams from Central Asia. Such fineness is also evident from colour and metal surface. 3.

  • Diplomacy Between Emperors and Caliphs in the Tenth Century
    86 »The messenger is the place of a man’s judgment«: Diplomacy between Emperors and Caliphs in the Tenth Century Courtney Luckhardt* Travel and communication in the early medieval period were fundamental parts of people’s conceptions about temporal and spiritual power, which in turn demonstrated a ruler’s legit­ imacy. Examining the role of messengers and diplomatic envoys between the first Umayyad caliph of al­Andalus, ‘Abd al­Rahman III, and his fellow tenth­century rulers in Christian kingdoms, including the Byzantine emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogennetos and the first Holy Roman emperor, Otto I, illuminates internal and external negotiations that defined the pluralistic Iberian society in the early Middle Ages. Formal religious and ethnic differences among Muslim rulers and non­Muslim messengers enhanced the articulation of political le­ gitimacy by the caliph. Diplomatic correspondence with foreign rulers using the multiplicity of talents and ethno­religious identities of their subjects was part of the social order provided by the Andalusi rulers and produced by those they ruled, demonstrating the political autho­ rity of the Umayyad caliphate. Keywords: diplomacy, messengers, al-Andalus, political authority, ‘Abd al-Rahman III, Muslim- Christian relations »The wise sages have said… the messenger is the place of a man’s judgment, and his letter is the place of his intellect.« So related Ibn al­Farra’ in the Rasul al-muluk, a treatise on diplomacy commissioned by the caliph of al­Andalus in the second half of the tenth century.1 Political and diplomatic connections between elite groups and proto­states happened at the personal and individual level in the early medieval period.

It is clear that these words denoted a territory of broadly similar size and shape to what we think of as ‘England’, distinct from Wales and stretching from the Channel to somewhere north of York.

  • Looking for Interpreter Zero: (12) Hasday Ibn Shaprut and Recemund, Intermediaries and Interpreters in 10Th-Century Al-Andalus
    Looking for Interpreter Zero: (12) Hasday ibn Shaprut and Recemund, intermediaries and interpreters in 10th-century al-Andalus Caliph Abd ar-Rahman III's protracted negotiations with the court of Otto I of Saxony, in which both go-betweens were involved, shed light on language and politics of the time. Christine ADAMS. Published: November 15, 2016 Last updated: November 15, 2016 At his time, Cordoba ambassadors are usually from ‘minority groups’, Jews or Christians, whose dual culture made into almost ‘natural’ intermediaries between the Umayyad Caliphate and Christian countries. [i] Hasday ibn Shaprut, leader of the Cordoba Jewish community, and Recemund, a Christian court official, are the best known of these intermediaries. There was clearly a need for many more: "There are many references in the Arabic sources to Christian members of embassies from Cordoba to Europe and Byzantium, but the Arabic historians supply little more than the names of these men, sometimes adding that they acted as interpreters ." [ii] Caliph Abd ar-Rahman III needed intermediaries as he sought to consolidate his rule, and they were almost always non-Moslems. There is some suggestion that by the mid-tenth century the Arab elites in al-Andalus had become closed in on themselves and reluctant to deal with non-Moslems [iii]. Be that as it may, the Caliph’s protracted negotiations with the court of Otto I of Saxony in which both ibn Shaprut and Recemund were involved sheds some light on language and politics at that time. There were good reasons for Otto I – future king of Italy and Holy Roman Emperor - to send an embassy to Cordoba in the 950s.
