Book Synopsis Abandoned War Bride by : Monique D. Downs
Download or read book Abandoned War Bride written by Monique D. Downs and published by . This book was released on 2003-11-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monique´s Miraculous Destiny. Abandoned War Bride is the life story of 3 generations. Back in time we view the 30´s, 40´s, 50´s, and beyond, starting in the city of Marseille in south France and continuing in three states: Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama, located in Dixieland. It has an expanded geography throughout France, Italy and other countries in Europe. The book is written in prose, with many quotations written in French with an English translation. The subjets are: Memoirs/history/traditions/drama/religion/love and travel The beginning of the book is the story of a hard working big family who were making progress before the war described by a young lady. When WWII began, dramatic changes took place such as the loss of freedom, food, and education for the children. The misery increased when the father of that family lost his vision. (the most dramatic chapters in the book). Liberation was welcome but the young lady became infatuated with an american soldier and married him. Her arrival in the US, as a War Bride, was a dramatic situation because he had abandoned her in rural Mississippi. She took refuge in New Orleans, La. and had to face shocks and solve her problems by herself at that age.( the most discouraging chapters in the book). As time passed, one of the greatest love story ever told develops of two strangers which was God´s plan. This young lady found Love and happiness with a family. These stories are followed by many events taking place in Mobile and Birmingham, Al. There are also many comical stories and details of traveling in Europe as well as her husband recounting his war experiences in the US Navy Sea Bees in the Pacific theater during WWII. (the most rewarding chapters in the book). The young lady who is telling the story as far back as she can remember is a grandmother today and is telling the stories to her children who are BABY BOOMERS and to her grandchildren who are very curious and want to know everything. This memorable life story is an open book to discussion and sharing a unique quality of life with all of our family and friends. ( the most unique story ever told). I hope this book will influence others to write their stories to their children, grandchildren, and to their friends. " Our children cannot know who they are if they do no know where their parents came from and how they come about to live in this country especially if they are born in another part of the world." Today, there is nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about because people make mistakes and we learn from them. We all have regrets, secrets and confessions to make and what a relief it is in someone´s life to tell it all. The theme: DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU".
Book Synopsis Entangling Alliances by : Susan Zeiger
Download or read book Entangling Alliances written by Susan Zeiger and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2010-03-22 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the twentieth century, American male soldiers returned home from wars with foreign-born wives in tow, often from allied but at times from enemy nations, resulting in a new, official category of immigrant: the “allied” war bride. These brides began to appear en masse after World War I, peaked after World War II, and persisted through the Korean and Vietnam Wars. GIs also met and married former “enemy” women under conditions of postwar occupation, although at times the US government banned such unions. In this comprehensive, complex history of war brides in 20th-century American history, Susan Zeiger uses relationships between American male soldiers and foreign women as a lens to view larger issues of sexuality, race, and gender in United States foreign relations. Entangling Alliances draws on a rich array of sources to trace how war and postwar anxieties about power and national identity have long been projected onto war brides, and how these anxieties translate into public policies, particularly immigration.
