Book Synopsis Marching on Washington by : Lucy G. Barber
Download or read book Marching on Washington written by Lucy G. Barber. This book was released on 2004-04-05. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Beautifully written. Lucy G. Barber has taken different stories and woven them together so that each builds into a larger narrative about the history of political protest. By looking across a series of marches, Barber explores issues that escape more focused studies, such as the development of marching on Washington as a political strategy, and the changing conception of Washington as a public space. The scope of the research and the author's craft in telling these stories sheds new light on important moments in American history."—Mary L. Dudziak, author of Cold War Civil Rights

Book Synopsis The Conscience of a Movement by : Matthew Kyle Yates
Download or read book The Conscience of a Movement written by Matthew Kyle Yates. This book was released on 2011. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The rise of a conservative ideology within a broader New Right Movement in the United States is well documented among scholars of domestic U.S. history. That said, historians so far largely have ignored how foreign policy in general---and the Vietnam War in particular---both elevated and shaped conservatism as a leading political tradition. Debates over foreign aid, war strategy and tactics, the draft and Antiwar Movement, and Vietnamization shattered the New Right into warring camps, even as these issues drew the attention of the American electorate to the New Right as a whole. By the mid-1960s, conservatives ranging from intellectuals to media figures won preeminence within the broader New Right, not simply because of their views on domestic policy, but also as a result of their persuasive articulation of an evolving ideological position on these foreign policy issues. This dissertation will present an intellectual history of conservatism to argue that domestic debates about the Vietnam War gradually redefined the emergent philosophy as a politics of natural law theory, one well situated within the broader context of American and Western political philosophy.

Book Synopsis Understanding Vietnam by : Neil L. Jamieson
Download or read book Understanding Vietnam written by Neil L. Jamieson. This book was released on 2023-11-10. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American experience in Vietnam divided us as a nation and eroded our confidence in both the morality and the effectiveness of our foreign policy. Yet our understanding of this tragic episode remains superficial because, then and now, we have never grasped the passionate commitment with which the Vietnamese clung to and fought over their own competing visions of what Vietnam was and what it might become. To understand the war, we must understand the Vietnamese, their culture, and their ways of looking at the world. Neil L. Jamieson, after many years of living and working in Vietnam, has written the book that provides this understanding. Jamieson paints a portrait of twentieth-century Vietnam. Against the background of traditional Vietnamese culture, he takes us through the saga of modern Vietnamese history and Western involvement in the country, from the coming of the French in 1858 through the Vietnam War and its aftermath. Throughout his analysis, he allows the Vietnamese—both our friends and foes, and those who wished to be neither—to speak for themselves through poetry, fiction, essays, newspaper editorials and reports of interviews and personal experiences. By putting our old and partial perceptions into this new and broader context, Jamieson provides positive insights that may perhaps ease the lingering pain and doubt resulting from our involvement in Vietnam. As the United States and Vietnam appear poised to embark on a new phase in their relationship, Jamieson's book is particularly timely.
