Book Synopsis Rosie the Riveter was Italian American by : K'Ehleyr Ariana McKeever

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World War II is not only a significant moment in world history, but in the history of the United States. In order to fully understand the impact the war had on the nation, historians need to acknowledge the various groups that played key roles in the war effort. Italian American women have silently been a part of the historiography, waiting for their recognition by scholars. While faced with years of discrimination and isolation from the nation they were calling home, Italian Americans gained their right to claim being an American through the work they did during the war. By denouncing ties with their ancestral nation, Italian Americans paved the way towards being considered American through learning English, becoming educated through American schools, losing their Italian surnames through marriage, and even changing the names of their social clubs to be more American sounding. Italian American men ranked the most enlisted in the United States military per capita during World War II, while Italian American women left their traditional lives as mothers and wives to work in male dominated industries to contribute to the war effort. The Italian American women who shaped the Rosie the Riveter character have remained in the shadows of history, though, while male participation in the war has received ample recognition. The lack of scholarly work dedicated to Italian American women's participation in the war effort is a disservice to the historiography, leaving holes that need to be filled in order to have a complete understanding of how the war impacted the nation. Through the use of oral histories with Italian American Rosie the Riveters, as well as connecting women's labor during the war through propaganda posters, this thesis aims to fill some of the gaps in the historiography, while also showcasing how much more work needs to be done to better appreciate the participation of this ethnic group.

Book Synopsis Italian Americans in World War II by : Peter L. Belmonte
Download or read book Italian Americans in World War II written by Peter L. Belmonte and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2001 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the first-hand accounts and stories of Italian World War II Veterans who answered the call to serve their country, despite being deemed Enemy Aliens by their own government. At the beginning of World War II, Italian citizens living in the United States were referred to as Enemy Aliens. Yet hundreds of young Italian Americans flocked to recruiting stations, and over 500,000-perhaps as many as 1.5 million-served in the military during the war. Despite the difficulties they faced, including the possibility of having to fight against Italians, countless Italian Americans received decorations for bravery, fourteen of whom received the Medal of Honor. Italian Americans in World War II offers their stories, which, for the most part, have yet to be told. Belmonte interviewed almost 50 Italian-American veterans of World War II, from all branches and types of service. Stories of daily life, food, equipment, and training from soldiers, sailors, and airmen are captured. You'll read personal tales about how survivors of D-Day, Iwo Jima, Tarawa, Okinawa, and The Battle of the Bulge felt about entering combat. This fitting tribute also includes photographs from this period in history, bringing the men's stories to life.

Download or read book Uncivil Liberties written by Stephen Fox and published by Dissertation.com. This book was released on 2000 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the relocation of Japanese Americans during World War II is a well-known blemish on American history, few people are aware that from February through June of 1942 the federal government enacted a relocation program that forced thousands of West Coast Italian and German aliens and their families to leave their homes for so-called safe zones. Law-abiding people who had lived in the United States for decades, including some who had sons in the armed forces, were subjected to surveillance and harassment simply because they had never obtained U.S. citizenship. The government eventually abandoned this program, but only because the process of relocating so many proved economically and politically unfeasible. Other Italians, including American citizens, whose loyalty was deemed doubtful, were interned or excluded without trial. In UnCivil Liberties: Italian Americans Under Siege during World War II Stephen Fox combines interviews with Italian Americans, government files, and newspaper accounts to reveal this previously untold chapter in American history. The testimonies of those who were the objects of the government's unfounded suspicions and accusations provide a vivid portrait of the times and illuminate a neglected episode. Fox connects his discussion of the Italian American experience with that of other suspected "enemy" aliens during World War II, illustrating how a national security crisis led to the use of group labels and challenged the government's commitment to its libertarian ideals. The voices in UnCivil Liberties will speak to students, scholars, and all readers interested in this period of American history. Published originally as "The Unknown Internment: An Oral History of the Relocation of Italian Americans during World War II."

Book Synopsis Enemies Among Us by : John E. Schmitz
Download or read book Enemies Among Us written by John E. Schmitz and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2021-08 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent decades have drawn more attention to the United States' treatment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Few people realize, however, the extent of the country's relocation, internment, and repatriation of German and Italian Americans, who were interned in greater numbers than Japanese Americans. The United States also assisted other countries, especially in Latin America, in expelling "dangerous" aliens, primarily Germans. In Enemies among Us John E. Schmitz examines the causes, conditions, and consequences of America's selective relocation and internment of its own citizens and enemy aliens, as well as the effects of internment on those who experienced it. Looking at German, Italian, and Japanese Americans, Schmitz analyzes the similarities in the U.S. government's procedures for those they perceived to be domestic and hemispheric threats, revealing the consistencies in the government's treatment of these groups, regardless of race. Reframing wartime relocation and internment through a broader chronological perspective and considering policies in the wider Western Hemisphere, Enemies among Us provides new conclusions as to why the United States relocated, interned, and repatriated both aliens and citizens considered enemies.

Book Synopsis American Passage by : Vincent J. Cannato
Download or read book American Passage written by Vincent J. Cannato and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-06-09 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most of New York's early history, Ellis Island had been an obscure little island that barely held itself above high tide. Today the small island stands alongside Plymouth Rock in our nation's founding mythology as the place where many of our ancestors first touched American soil. Ellis Island's heyday—from 1892 to 1924—coincided with one of the greatest mass movements of individuals the world has ever seen, with some twelve million immigrants inspected at its gates. In American Passage, Vincent J. Cannato masterfully illuminates the story of Ellis Island from the days when it hosted pirate hangings witnessed by thousands of New Yorkers in the nineteenth century to the turn of the twentieth century when massive migrations sparked fierce debate and hopeful new immigrants often encountered corruption, harsh conditions, and political scheming. American Passage captures a time and a place unparalleled in American immigration and history, and articulates the dramatic and bittersweet accounts of the immigrants, officials, interpreters, and social reformers who all play an important role in Ellis Island's chronicle. Cannato traces the politics, prejudices, and ideologies that surrounded the great immigration debate, to the shift from immigration to detention of aliens during World War II and the Cold War, all the way to the rebirth of the island as a national monument. Long after Ellis Island ceased to be the nation's preeminent immigrant inspection station, the debates that once swirled around it are still relevant to Americans a century later. In this sweeping, often heart-wrenching epic, Cannato reveals that the history of Ellis Island is ultimately the story of what it means to be an American.
