Race and War in France: Colonial Subjects in the French

During the First World War,the French army deployed more than colonial subjects to European battlefields. The struggle against a common enemy associated these soldiers with the French nation,but racial and cultural differences left them on the outside.

How far did French egalitarianism extend in welcoming and disciplining nonwhite

The Great War and the Culture of the New Negro (Hardcover)

More than African American soldiers fought in World War I,and returning€troops frequently spoke of color-blind France. Such cosmopolitan experiences,along with the brutal,often desegregated no-man's-land between the trenches,forced African American artists and writers to reexamine their relationship to mainstream (white) American culture.€The war represented a seminal moment for African Americans,and in the s and s it became a touchstone for such diverse cul

Derrida,Literature and War: Absence and the Chance of

Derrida,Literature and War argues for the importance of the relation between absence and chance in Derrida's work in thinking today about war and literature. Sean Gaston starts by marking Derrida's attempts to resist the philosophical tradition of calculating on absence as an assured resource,while insisting on the (mis)chances of the chance encounter. Gaston re-examines the relation between the concept of war and the chances of literature by focusing on narratives of conflict set during the

The Ethics of War and Peace: Cosmopolitan and Other

This book presents a clear and comprehensive introduction to the diverse and wide-ranging ethical aspects of war and peace. In a fair-minded and engaging analysis,Nigel Dower introduces the different ethical theories in traditional and contemporary debates – realism,just war theory and pacifism – and subjects each to detailed critical scrutiny. He frames these debates within a related but distinct framework of three approaches to international relations,namely skeptical realism,internationalism and cosm

The Father of Us All: War and History, Ancient and Modern

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hanson, Victor Davis, PUBLISHER: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, Victor Davis Hanson has long been acclaimed as one of our leading scholars of ancient history. In recent years he has also become a trenchant voice on current affairs, bringing a historian's deep knowledge of past conflicts to bear on the crises of the present, from 9/11 to Iran. "War," he writes, "is an entirely human enterprise." Ideologies change, technologies develop, new strategies are invented?but human nature is constant across time and space. The dynamics of warfare in the present age still remain comprehensible to us through careful study of the past. Though many have called the War on Terror unprecedented, its contours would have been quite familiar to Themistocles of Athens or William Tecumseh Sherman. And as we face the menace of a bin Laden or a Kim Jong-Il, we can prepare ourselves with knowledge of how such challenges have been met before. "The Father of Us All "brings together much of Hanson's finest writing on war and society, both ancient and modern. The author has gathered a range of essays, and combined and revised them into a richly textured new work that explores such topics as how technology shapes warfare, what constitutes the "American way of war," and why even those who abhor war need to study military history. "War is the father and king of us all," Heraclitus wrote in ancient Greece. And as Victor Davis Hanson shows, it is no less so today.

The Alawis of Syria: War,Faith and Politics in the Levant

Throughout the turbulent history of the Levant the 'Alawis - a secretive,resilient and ancient Muslim sect - have aroused suspicion and animosity,including accusations of religious heresy.

To Battle for God and the Right: The Civil War Letterbooks

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Opdycke, Emerson / Longacre, Glenn V. / Haas, John E., PUBLISHER: University of Illinois Press, Emerson Opdycke, a lieutenant with the 41st Ohio Infantry and later a commander of the 125th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, won fame at the Battle of Franklin when his brigade saved the Union Army from defeat. He also played pivotal roles in some of the major battles of the western theater, including Chickamauga, Chattanooga, and Missionary Ridge. Opdycke's wartime letters to his wife, Lucy, offer the immediacy of the action as it unfolded and provide a glimpse into the day--to--day life of a soldier. Viewing the conflict with the South as a battle between the rights of states and loyalty to the Union, his letters reveal his dislike of slavery, devotion to the Union, disdain for military ineptitude, and opinions of combat strategies and high-ranking officers. A thorough introduction by editors Glenn V. Longacre and John E. Haas and a preface by Peter Cozzens provide additional historical context and biographical information.
