Fitzhugh Brundage, "Remembering Reconstruction: Struggles over the Meaning of America's Most Turbulent Era" English | 2017 | ISBN: 0807166022 | EPUB | pages: 304 | 0.5 mb Academic studies of the Civil War and historical memory abound, ensuring a deeper understanding of how the war's meaning has shifted over time and the implications of those changes for concepts of race, citizenship, and nationhood. The Reconstruction era, by contrast, has yet to receive similar attention from scholars. Remembering Reconstruction ably fills this void, assembling a prestigious lineup of Reconstruction historians to examine the competing social and historical memories of this pivotal and violent period in American history.  Free Download Polly E. Bugros McLean, "Remembering Lucile: A Virginia Family's Rise from Slavery and a Legacy Forged a Mile High" English | 2021 | ISBN: 1646421957, 1607328240 | EPUB | pages: 333 | 2.0 mb In 1918 Lucile Berkeley Buchanan Jones received her bachelor's degree from the University of Colorado, becoming its first female African American graduate (though she was not allowed to "walk" at graduation, nor is she pictured in the 1918 CU yearbook). In Remembering Lucile, author Polly McLean depicts the rise of the African American middle class through the historical journey of Lucile and her family from slavery in northern Virginia to life in the American West, using their personal story as a lens through which to examine the greater experience of middle-class Blacks in the early twentieth century.  Free Download Michael Jimenez, "Remembering Lived Lives: A Historiography from the Underside of Modernity" English | 2017 | ISBN: 1498234852, 1498234879 | EPUB | pages: 182 | 0.3 mb Remembering Lived Lives is a religious historiography book that focuses on issues and theorists located primarily in Latin America. Instead of joining the chorus of contemporary European intellectuals like Slavoj Zizek, who insist on a renewed Eurocentrism, this study challenges both historians and theologians to take seriously the work done by theorists located in what Enrique Dussel calls the underside of modernity. This is an interdisciplinary work that opens with Karl Barth's outline for historical-theological study and closes with an analysis of the film The Mission. Written for both the history or theology instructor and student, it deals with subjects like church history, biography as theology, liberation theology as primary source material, photographs, and historical movies.  Free Download H. K. Shin, "Remembering Korea 1950: A Boy Soldier's Story" English | 2001 | ISBN: 0874174821 | EPUB | pages: 176 | 1.2 mb Hyung K. Shin was sixteen years old when the North Korean army invaded South Korea in June 1950. Fleeing his home, Shin soon found himself alone in Pusan, a refugee without resources or any means of support. To save himself from destitution, he lied about his age and volunteered for service in the South Korean army. Shin's account of the months that followed is a moving record of the Korean War from the perspective of an ordinary ROK soldier. He recounts his hasty training and subsequent experiences as a battlefield soldier in North Korea, as a guard in a prisoner-of-war camp, and as a refugee again in the massive flight of civilians and ROK military personnel retreating before the onslaught of the Chinese invasion. Through it all, Shin struggles to retain his humanity and pursue his education. In the process, the naïve schoolboy becomes a man. Today, Hyung K. Shin is an internationally respected chemist, but in the pages of this memoir he carries us back to Korea during a pivotal moment in that country's history. This is the first account in English that describes the war from the perspective of a Korean who lived through and fought in it. Shin's detailed and lively narrative is a stirring monument to the survival of human decency and kindness in the midst of terror, cruelty, despair, and the destruction of a proud nation.  Free Download Paul Harvey, Eddie Rickenbacker, "Remember These Things" English | 2016 | ISBN: 1258449439 | EPUB | pages: 190 | 0.8 mb This book records strains and stresses, doubts and uncertainties such as were never known, on such a scale, since men first trod the surface of the earth.  Free Download Drew a Swanson, "Remaking Wormsloe Plantation: The Environmental History of a Lowcountry Landscape" English | 2012 | ISBN: 0820341770, 0820347442 | EPUB | pages: 320 | 2.6 mb Why do we preserve certain landscapes while developing others without restraint? Drew A. Swanson's in-depth look at Wormsloe plantation, located on the salt marshes outside of Savannah, Georgia, explores that question while revealing the broad historical forces that have shaped the lowcountry South.  Free Download Brian A. McKenzie, "Remaking France: Americanization, Public Diplomacy, and the Marshall Plan" English | 2005 | ISBN: 1845451546 | EPUB | pages: 272 | 1.9 mb Public diplomacy, neglected following the end of the Cold War, is once again a central tool of American foreign policy. This book, examining as it does the Marshall Plan as the form of public diplomacy of the United States in France after World War Two, offers a timely historical case study. Current debates about globalization and a possible revival of the Marshall Plan resemble the debates about Americanization that occurred in France over fifty years ago. Relations between France and the United States are often tense despite their shared history and cultural ties, reflecting the general fear and disgust and attraction of America and Americanization. The period covered in this book offers a good example: the French Government begrudgingly accepted American hegemony even though anti-Americanism was widespread among the French population, which American public diplomacy tried to overcome with various cultural and economic activities examined by the author. In many cases French society proved resistant to Americanization, and it is questionable whether public diplomacy actually accomplished what its advocates had promised. Nevertheless, by the 1950s the United States had established a strong cultural presence in France that included Hollywood, Reader's Digest, and American-style hotels.  Free Download Stephen Green, "Reluctant Meister: How Germany's Past is Shaping Its European Future" English | 2016 | ISBN: 1910376574 | EPUB | pages: 320 | 0.4 mb The Euro crisis has served as a stark reminder of the fundamental importance of Germany to the larger European project. But the image of Germany as the dominant power in Europe is at odds with much of its recent history. Reluctant Meister is a wide-ranging study of Germany from the Holy Roman Empire through the Second and Third Reichs, and it asks not only how such a mature and developed culture could have descended into the barbarism of Nazism but how it then rebuilt itself within a generation to become an economic powerhouse. Perhaps most important, Stephen Green examines to what extent Germany will come to dominate its relationship with its neighbors in the European Union, and what that will mean.  Free Download Charles Tilly, David William Cohen, William B. Taylor, "Reliving the Past: The Worlds of Social History" English | 1985 | ISBN: 0807841374, 0807816582 | EPUB | pages: 346 | 0.8 mb Five historians uncover the ties between people's daily routines and the all-encompassing framework of their lives. They trace the processes of social construction in Western Europe, the United States, Latin America, Africa, and China, discussing both the historical similarities and the ways in which individual history has shaped each area's development. They stress the need for a social history that connects individuals to major ideological, political, and economic transformations.  Free Download Bernard M. G. Reardon, "Religious Thought in the Reformation" English | 2013 | ISBN: 0582259606, 0582259592 | EPUB | pages: 322 | 0.6 mb The book starts with an introductory overview of the late medieval precursors of the Reformation. It then devotes a separate chapter, or chapters, to Erasmus, Luther, Melanchthon, Calvin and the radical reform movements; and there is a particularly full treatment of the Reformation in Britain. The book closes with a discussion of the Council of Trent. |
