    LAW, SECURITY, AND ETHNIC PROFILING: ITALIANS IN THE UNITED STATES DURING WORLD WAR II Mary Elizabeth Basile Chopas A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2013 Approved by: Wayne E. Lee Richard H. Kohn Eric L. Muller Zaragosa Vargas Heather Williams ©2013 Mary Elizabeth Basile Chopas ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Mary Elizabeth Basile Chopas: Law, Security, and Ethnic Profiling: Italians in the United States During World War II (under the direction of Wayne E. Lee) The story of internment and other restrictions during World War II is about how the U.S. government categorized persons within the United States from belligerent nations based on citizenship and race and thereby made assumptions about their loyalty and the national security risk that they presented. This dissertation examines how agencies of the federal government interacted to create and enact various restrictions on close to 700,000 Italian aliens residing in the United States, including internment for certain individuals, and how and why those policies changed during the course of the war. Against the backdrop of wartime emergency, federal decision makers created policies of ethnic-based criteria in response to national security fears, but an analysis of the political maturity of Italian Americans and their assimilation into American society by World War II helps explain their community’s ability to avoid mass evacuation and internment. Based on the internment case files for 343 individuals, this dissertation provides the first social profile of the Italian civilian internees and explains the apparent basis for the government’s identification of certain aliens as “dangerous,” such as predilections for loyalty to Italy and Fascist beliefs, as opposed to the respectful demeanor and appreciation of American democracy characterizing potentially good citizens.

    A MAGAZINE WHERE BEING THE FIRST MATTERS | SPRING/SUMMER 2016 THE RETURN OF “BROTHERMAN: DICTATOR OF DISCIPLINE” Alumnus introduces groundbreaking Black superhero to new generations FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Lincoln University Family, Despite the uncertainty associated with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania budget impasse, Lincoln University has maintained its course as a distinct and exemplary institution of higher learning and had much to celebrate. Throughout the 2015-2016 academic year, the University welcomed the largest incoming class since 2009 and was listed among the Top 20 HBCUs in the country by U.S. World News & World Report. Lincoln’s Baccalaureate Degree program in nursing received accreditation for five years by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education and 100% of the 2015 nursing program graduates are Registered Nurses (RNs). Many students gained entrance to medical and graduate schools around the country, received scholarships and internships from multiple sources, presented research, traveled to study abroad and received Scholar Athlete Awards. The Orange Crush Roaring Lions marching band performed at its first Honda Battle of the Bands Invitational Showcase and the Lincoln University Concert Choir traveled and performed in various venues. Alumni have helped Lincoln advance its mission through thoughtful generosity, dedication and commitment. By LEAPS* and bounds and STEM**, the efforts of the faculty of all three Colleges are to be commended. Overcoming challenges by building on our strengths, we reinforced the University’s foundation on which to cultivate an enhanced learning environment for our students.

  • The Maintenance of Wilderness Diversity in Africa K.L
    In October 1977 South Africa hosted the first international World Wilderness Congress. Delegates to the congress came from 26 countries; among them were statesmen and artists, scientists and poets, writers and businessmen and indigenous people from many parts of the globe. All came with the intention of expressing their hopes, fears and plans for the world's wilderness on an international platform. They came to establish a world understanding of the need for conservation, to make known to the public and the administrators of nations the fact that commercial and industrial growth must go hand in hand with the setting aside and preservation of more wild and natural areas. They came to establish a world wilderness order. Voices of the Wilderness is an edited compilation of papers presented to this congress. It will provide a worthy souvenir of the event for those who attended the congress, but more than this, it gives valuable insight into the problems threatening wilderness and wildlife throughout the world for all lovers of nature and the wild. Among the eminent contributors to the book are Laurens van der Post, (who has also written the foreword) Robert Ardrey, Iain Douglas-Hamilton, Ian Player, Edmund d.e Rothschild and a host of other renowned conservationists. Voices of the Wilderness is a handsome volume which should find a place in the library of every nature lover. International .... · WIidernessLeadnhlp ,-; Foundation 211 West Magnolia Vance G.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 /H £S F ABSTRACT This dissertation deals with the American military build-up of 1950-1951, a crucial event in starting the Cold War arms race. It examines the decision to initiate the arms build-up, and some consequences of that decision. In considering the beginning of the arms build-up, it accounts for the influence of external events, such as Soviet and European capabilities and actions, as well as internal factors, including public pressure and lobbying. In doing so, it seeks to assess the relative importance of the object being perceived, the Soviet military, and the lens through which that object was viewed, the political culture of the American foreign policy establishment.
