Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peace as a Women's Issue is a comprehensive history of the feminist peace movement in the United States during the last two centuries. This absorbing history traces the development of the women's campaign for peace from its roots in nineteenth-century abolitionist and suffrage movements to its expression during the recent war in the Middle East. The development of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) takes center stage, but many other groups, ranging from the Women's Peace Union of the 1920s to later movements such as Women Strike for Peace, Women for Racial and Economic Equality, and the peace encampments of the 1980s arc all examined. Here too one will read about the many prominent figures who have had major roles in this history: Jane Addams and Carrie Chapman Catt of the Woman's Peace Party; Fanny Garrison Villard, daughter of abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison; Nobel Peace Prize winner Emily Greene Balch; Dorothy Detzer of the WILPF; and Mary Church Terrell, the first president of the National Association of Colored Women. This much-needed history of the feminist peace movement in the United States makes possible a fuller, better nuanced, and more balanced treatment of the history of the entire US peace movement.

Book excerpt: A study of the Women's Peace Union illustrates what some suffragists did after winning the vote and how pacifists tried to heal a world recently torn apart by war. For former suffragists, the period after World War I presented a unique challenge; that is, how to utilize existing organizations and the newly won vote to achieve world peace. For the Women's Peace Union, the answer lay[s] within the suffragist movement itself. Adapting the ideas of Salmon O. Levinson, the founder of the Outlawry of War movement, the WPU leaders, including Elinor Byrns, Caroline Lexcow Babcock, Tracey Mygatt, Gertrude Franchot Tone, Frieda Langer Lazarus and, for six months, Jeannette Rankin, wrote and campaigned for a constitutional amendment to outlaw war and the manufacturing and trading of war materiel. As powerless individuals in a patriarchal society, the women, through extensive lobbying, found a male senator, Lynn Joseph Frazier, to espouse their cause. Frazier, a North Dakota populist, introduced the amendment into every Congressional session from 1936 to 1939. The WPU also organized three Senate hearings (1927, 1930 and 1934) and sent a representative to the League of Nations Disarmament Conference in Geneva in 1932 to campaign for international outlawry laws. Although strong and active in the 1920s, the WPU faced many problems in the 1930s. First, Depression economics greatly limited their finances. Second, their uncompromising pacifist position and one issue program isolated them from the majority of the other peace activities. Third, their concentration on cultivating high-level politicians prevented grassroots organizing. Finally, their Utopian vision inhibited the adaption of their demands to the 1930s growth of fascism and militarism. Although never officially disbanded, the WPU ceased operations in 1941, just before Pearl Harbor was attacked.

Book excerpt: The Women's Peace Union (WPU), founded in 1921, consisted of suffrage leaders and pacifists who advocated for the total elimination of war. The materials in this collection consist of administrative records and correspondence dating from the organization's founding through its gradual dissolution around 1940. In 1923, WPU members Elinor Byrns, a lawyer, and Caroline Lexow Babcock wrote a constitutional amendment that declared preparing for, spending money on, and waging war to be illegal and unconstitutional. Passing this amendment became the WPU's sole focus. Populist North Dakota senator Lynn Frazier introduced the amendment in Congress every year from 1927 to 1940. On behalf of the amendment, WPU members lobbied Congress; gave speeches; solicited letters and petitions from supporters across the country; and collaborated with other pacifist groups. The WPU was run by a committee and kept no membership lists. In addition to Byrns and Babcock, the most active members included Jeanette Rankin and Tracy D. Mygatt. The majority of the collection is correspondence, with an abundance from the first decade of the WPU's existence. Administrative records include meeting minutes from 1922 to 1939, press releases, and form letters. Other documents include literature and bulletins; speeches; newspaper clippings; peace plans; petitions; materials relating to Congressional hearings and resolutions, especially regarding the Frazier Amendment; and correspondence with Frazier himself. The correspondence with Frazier, mostly from 1926 to 1931, illustrates the group's close collaboration with the senator. There are also letters to and from other individuals, including Senator Robert La Follette, Jr. and Hungarian pacifist and suffragist Rosika Schwimmer. Other correspondence involves pacifist groups no longer in existence; institutions such as churches and colleges; and events such as Mobilization Day. This collection will interest those researching pacifist movements in the United States and worldwide; twentieth-century women's movements; populism; and the era between the two world wars.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the Brexit vote, this book offers a timely historical assessment of the different ways that Britain’s economic future has been imagined and how British ideas have influenced global debates about market relationships over the past two centuries. The 2016 EU referendum hinged to a substantial degree on how competing visions of the UK should engage with foreign markets, which in turn were shaped by competing understandings of Britain’s economic past. The book considers the following inter-related questions: - What roles does economic imagination play in shaping people’s behaviour and how far can insights from behavioural economics be applied to historical issues of market selection? - How useful is the concept of the ‘official mind’ for explaining the development of market relationships? - What has been the relationship between expanding communications and the development of markets? - How and why have certain regions or groupings (e.g. the Commonwealth) been ‘unimagined’- losing their status as promising markets for the future?

Book excerpt: This collection brings together top scholars to discuss the significance of violence from a global perspective and the intersections between the global structures of violence and more localized and intimate forms of violence. Activists and academics consider questions such as; are there situations in which violence should be politically supported? Are non-violent or anti-war movements in the US able to effectively respond to violence? Do we need to rethink our understanding of both 'religion' and 'secularism' in light of the current world situation? Have new paradigms been developed in response to violence? The essays in this collection offer inclusive analysis of particular situations and creative alternatives to the omnipresence of violence.

Download or read book June 1940, Great Britain and the First Attempt to Build a European Union written by Andrea Bosco and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-22 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: June 2016 represents a significant moment in British history. The decision to leave the European Union at the most critical period since its existence could bring unpredictable and far-reaching consequences both for the United Kingdom and the Union itself. June 1940 was also a turning point in British history. On the afternoon of 16 June, a few hours before the French Government opted for the capitulation, Churchill made, on behalf of the British Government, an offer of “indissoluble union.” When a sceptical Churchill put forward to the British Cabinet the text of the declaration drafted by Jean Monnet, Sir Arthur Salter, and Robert Vansittart, he was surprised at the amount of support it received. The Cabinet adopted the document with some minor amendments, and de Gaulle, who saw it as a means of keeping France in the war, telephoned Reynaud with the proposal for an “indissoluble union” with “joint organs of defence, foreign, financial and economic policies,” a common citizenship and a single War Cabinet. The proposal, however, never reached the table of the French Government. The spirit of capitulation, embodied in Weygand and Pétain prevailed, and France submitted herself to the German will, for the second time in seventy years. After the Munich crisis, Great Britain had to face the danger of another European war, with the inevitable loss of the Empire, and it was at this point that the country first began to favour the application of the federalist principle to Anglo-French relations. In this conversion to federalism, a fundamental role was played by the Federal Union, the first federalist movement organised on a popular basis. The contribution of Federal Union to the development of the federal idea in Great Britain and Europe was to express and organise the beginning of a new political militancy, and it represented the first step of a historical process: the overcoming of the nation State, the modern political formula which institutionalises the political division of mankind. This study principally examines the first eighteen months of the Federal Union, during which time it was able to raise itself to the attention of the general public, and the political class, as the heir of the League of Nations Union. The research is based on extensive unpublished archival material, found across the globe, from London, Oxford, Brighton, and Edinburgh to Washington, Paris, and Geneva.
