Rutgers University Press The Puerto Rican Problem in Postwar New York
Book SynopsisThe "Puerto-Rican Problem" in Postwar New York City presents the first comprehensive examination of the emergence, evolution, and consequences of the “Puerto Rican problem” campaign and narrative in New York City from 1945 to 1960. This notion originated in an intense public campaign that arose in reaction to the entry of Puerto Rican migrants to the city after 1945. The “problem” narrative influenced their incorporation in New York City and other regions of the United States where they settled. The anti-Puerto Rican campaign led to the formulation of public policies by the governments of Puerto Rico and New York City seeking to ease their incorporation in the city. Notions intrinsic to this narrative later entered American academia (like the “culture of poverty”) and American popular culture (e.g., West Side Story), which reproduced many of the stereotypes associated with Puerto Ricans at that time and shaped the way in which Puerto Ricans were studied and perceived by Americans. Trade Review"Meticulously researched and politically savvy, Edgardo Meléndez illuminates how the mainstream U.S. press, government agencies, academia, and public opinion mistreated the Puerto Rican exodus after 1945. A highly readable, insightful, and thought-provoking analysis." -- Jorge Duany * author of Puerto Rico: What Everyone Needs to Know *"The first in-depth study of the origins, ingrained biases, and stereotypes of the 'Puerto Rican problem' discourses propagated in most of the early post-World War II mass migration research about the Puerto Rican community. An outstanding and indispensable addition to Puerto Rican migration studies." -- Edna Acosta-Belén * Distinguished Professor Emerita, University at Albany, SUNY *"Meticulously researched and politically savvy, Edgardo Meléndez illuminates how the mainstream U.S. press, government agencies, academia, and public opinion mistreated the Puerto Rican exodus after 1945.

Rutgers University Press Forgotten Bodies: Imperialism, Chuukese
Book SynopsisWomen from Chuuk, Federated States of Micronesia, who migrate to Guam, a U.S. territory, suffer disproportionately poor reproductive health outcomes. Though their access to the United States is unusually easy, through a unique migration agreement, it keeps them in a perpetual liminal state as nonimmigrants, who never fully belong as part of the United States Chuukese women move to Guam, sometimes with their families but sometimes alone, in search of a better life: for jobs, for the education system, or to access safe health care. Yet, the imperial system they encounter creates underlying conditions that greatly and disproportionately impact their ability to succeed and thrive, negatively impacting their reproductive health. Through clinical and community ethnography, Sarah A. Smith illuminates the way this system stratifies women’s reproduction at structural, social, and individual levels. Readers can visualize how U.S. imperialist policies of benign neglect control the body politic, change the social body, and render individual bodies vulnerable in the twenty-first century but also how people resist.Trade Review"Written with clarity, compassion, and theoretical acuity, Forgotten Bodies describes the reproductive health disparities of Micronesian migrant women in Guam, set within wider stories of imperialism, colonialism, and racism. This book will be valuable to students of decolonizing anthropology and Pacific Studies, to health practitioners committed to more equitable and adequate care, and to anyone who cares about the lives, struggles, and strengths of Chuukese women. "— Don Rubinstein, professor of Micronesian Studies at University of Guam "Based in deep ethnographic research, Smith's essential book challenges us to understand Chuukese women's poor reproductive health chances as a result of a broad set of imperial forces. We learn so much from this book about the gender and health damages the U.S. empire has wrought in Guam, Chuuk, and elsewhere in Micronesia."— Catherine Lutz, coeditor of War and Health: The Medical Consequences of the Wars in Iraq and AfghanistanTable of ContentsForeword by Lenore Manderson List of Abbreviations Introduction: Imperial Chuukese Bodies, Transnational Migration, and Stratified Reproduction in Guam 1 Imperial Occupations 2 Imperial Observations 3 Imperial Migrations 4 Reproducing Imperialism in the Body 5 Discourses of Imperial Sexuality 6 Contempt, Confusion, and Care in Guam’s Imperial Public Healthcare System 7 Resisting Imperial Effects Acknowledgments Notes References Index

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Weimarer Erfahrungen
Book SynopsisText in German. This study is dedicated to the origins of two decisive processes - the transformation of post-war Germany from the National Socialist community to a liberal democracy and the ideological genesis of the Cold War. The study focuses on five German emigrants, the political thinker and Protestant Carl J. Friedrich, the socialist political scientist Ernst Fraenkel, the Catholic publicist Waldemar Gurian, the liberal lawyer and lawyer Karl Loewenstein and finally Hans Morgenthau, political scientist, lawyer and theorist on the Field of international relations. All of them participated intensively in the political debates of the Weimar period, survived the Nazi era in exile in the United States, and advanced to become influential American intellectuals and political advisors. Udi Greenberg follows in their footsteps and shows, including historical and political perspectives, that the cornerstone for Germany's democratic reconstruction as well as for the transatlantic post-war order was based on experiences of the Weimar Republic. From the interwar period in Germany to the end of the East-West conflict, the study sheds light on five personalities, their ideas and the resulting political decisions that had a lasting impact on Germany's relationship with America and the structure of the Cold War.
