Civilians in a world at war, 1914-1918 / by Proctor, Tammy M.,1968-;

Includes bibliographical references and index.World War I heralded a new global era of warfare, consolidating and expanding changes that had been building throughout the previous century, while also instituting new notions of war. The 1914-18 conflict witnessed the first aerial bombing of civilian populations, the first widespread concentration camps for the internment of enemy alien civilians, and an unprecedented use of civilian labor and resources for the war effort. Humanitarian relief programs for civilians became a common feature of modern society, while food became as significant as weaponry in the fight to win. The author argues it was World War I, the first modern, global war, that witnessed the invention of both the modern "civilian" and the "home front," where a totalizing war strategy pitted industrial nations and their citizenries against each other. This work explores the different ways civilians work and function in a war situation, and broadens our understanding of the civilian to encompass munitions workers, nurses, laundresses, refugees, aid workers, and children who lived and worked in occupied zones, on home and battle fronts, and in the spaces in between. Global in scope, spanning the Eastern, Western, Italian, East African, and Mediterranean fronts, the author examines in detail the role of experts in the war, the use of forced labor, and the experiences of children in the combatant countries. As in many wars, civilians on both sides of WWI were affected, and vast displacements of the populations shaped the contemporary world in countless ways, redrawing boundaries and creating or reviving lines of ethnic conflict. Exploring primary source materials and secondary studies of combatant and neutral nations, while synthesizing French, German, Dutch, and English language sources, the author transcends the artificial boundaries of national histories and the exclusive focus on soldiers. Instead she tells the story of the civilian in the Great War, allowing voices from the period to speak for themselves.Citizens in uniform -- Civilians and the labor of war -- Constructing home fronts -- Caught between the lines -- Caring for the wounded -- Creating war experts -- Civilians behind the wire -- Civil War and revolution -- Conclusion: Consequences of World War I.

Contemporary grandparenting : changing family relationships in global contexts / by Arber, Sara,1949-; Timonen, Virpi.;

Includes bibliographical references and index."Grandparenting in the 21st century is at the heart of profound family and societal changes. It is of increasing social and economic significance, yet many dimensions of grandparenting are still poorly understood. Contemporary Grandparenting is the first book to take a sociological approach to grandparenting across diverse country contexts and combines new theorising with up-to-date empirical findings to document the changing nature of grandparenting across global contexts. In this highly original book, leading contributors analyse how grandparenting differs according to the nature of the welfare state and the cultural context, how family breakdown influences grandparenting, and explore men's changing roles as grandfathers. Grandparents today face conflicting norms and expectations about their roles, but act with agency to forge new identities within the context of societal and cultural constraints. Contemporary Grandparenting illuminates key issues relevant to students and researchers from sociology and social policy, including in the fields of family, childhood, ageing and gender studies"--Publisher description.

Farmworker civil rights movement / El Movimiento Campesino -- Organized labor and Mexican Labor Organization -- Backlash and retrenchment (1980s-1990s) -- pt. III. Regions. Mexican labor in Aztlǹ -- Mexican labor in the heartland -- Mexican labor in the hinterlands -- Mexican labor en la Frontera -- Mexican labor in Mexico : the impact of NAFTA from Chiapas to Turismo -- Mexican labor in Canada : from temporary workers to precarious labor."Mexican migration to the United States and Canada is a highly contentious issue in the eyes of many North Americans, and every generation seems to construct the northward flow of labor as a brand new social problem. The history of Mexican labor migration to the United States, from the Bracero Program (1942-1964) to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), suggests that Mexicans have been actively encouraged to migrate northward when labor markets are in short supply, only to be turned back during economic downturns. In this timely book, Mize and Swords dissect the social relations that define how corporations, consumers, and states involve Mexican immigrant laborers in the politics of production and consumption. The result is a comprehensive and contemporary look at the increasingly important role that Mexican immigrants play in the North American economy."--P. [4] of cover.

Wal-Mart wars : moral populism in the twenty-first century / by Massengill, Rebekah Peeples,1975-;

Includes bibliographical references (pages ages 205-213) and index.Why should we care about the Wal-Mart debate? : Constructing moral markets ; Contextualizing the Wal-Mart wars -- Competing frameworks for market morality : Individuals and communities ; Thrift and benevolence ; Freedom and fairness -- Market morality in media and politics : How Wal-Mart wins the war of words ; Moral populism in the twenty-first century -- Appendix: Methodology."Wal-Mart is America's largest retailer. The national chain of stores is a powerful stand-in of both the promise and perils of free market capitalism. Yet it is also often the target of public outcry for its labor practices, to say nothing of class-action lawsuits, and a central symbol in America's increasingly polarized political discourse over consumption, capitalism and government regulations. In many ways the battle over Wal-Mart is the battle between "Main Street" and "Wall Street" as the fate of workers under globalization and the ability of the private market to effectively distribute precious goods like health care take center stage. In Wal-Mart Wars, Rebekah Massengill shows that the economic debates are not about dollars and cents, but instead represent a conflict over the deployment of deeper symbolic ideas about freedom, community, family, and citizenship. Wal-Mart Wars argues that the family is not just a culture wars issue to be debated with regard to same-sex marriage or the limits of abortion rights; rather, the family is also an idea that shapes the ways in which both conservative and progressive activists talk about economic issues, and in the process, construct different moral frameworks for evaluating capitalism and its most troubling inequalities. With particular attention to political activism and the role of big business to the overall economy, Massengill shows that the fight over the practices of this multi-billion dollar corporation can provide us with important insight into the dreams and realities of American capitalism." -- Publisher's website.

Civil War nurse narratives, 1863-1870 / by Wardrop, Daneen,1952-author.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 237-253) and index.Louisa May Alcott's Hospital Sketches: a readership -- Georgeanna Woolsey's Three Weeks at Gettysburg: connecting links -- Julia Dunlap's Notes of Hospital Life: women's rights, benevolence, and class -- Elvira Powers's Hospital Pencillings: travel, dissent, and cultural ties -- Anna Morris Holstein's Three Years in Field Hospitals of the Army of the Potomac: the dead line -- Sophronia Bucklin's In Hospital and Camp: rank-and-file nursing -- Julia S. Wheelock's The Boys in White: narrative construction.Civil War Nurse Narratives, 1863--1870, examines the first wave of autobiographical narratives written by northern female nurses and published during the war and shortly thereafter, ranging from the well-known Louisa May Alcott to lesser-known figures such as Elvira Powers and Julia Wheelock. From the hospitals of Washington, DC, and Philadelphia, to the field at Gettysburg in the aftermath of the battle, to the camps bordering front lines during active combat, these nurse narrators reported on what they saw and experienced for an American audience hungry for tales of individual experience in the war. As a subgenre of war literature, the Civil War nurse narrative offered realistic reportage of medical experiences and declined to engage with military strategies or Congressional politics. Instead, nurse narrators chronicled the details of attending wounded soldiers in the hospital, where a kind of microcosm of US democracy-in-progress emerged. As the war reshaped the social and political ideologies of the republic, nurses labored in a workplace that reflected cultural changes in ideas about gender, race, and class. Through interactions with surgeons and other officials they tested women's rights convictions, and through interactions with formerly enslaved workers they wrestled with the need to live up to their own often abolitionist convictions and support social equality. By putting these accounts in conversation with each other, Civil War Nurse Narratives productively explores a developing genre of war literature that has rarely been given its due and that offers refreshing insights into women's contributions to the war effort. Taken together, these stories offer an impressive and important addition to the literary history of the Civil War.

Data and documents -- 6. Resources -- 7. Chronology -- Glossary -- Index -- About the author."The horrific reality is that millions of human beings are bought and sold every year worldwide. Human trafficking is not an obsolete practice, and these crimes are not rare in occurrence. Recent examples of human trafficking such as the abduction of hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls by the terrorist organization Boko Haram and depictions of trafficking in films such as Taken have brought human trafficking squarely into the public eye. This book offers a comprehensive understanding of human trafficking in its many forms. It examines the traffickers who range from single operators to large, transnational organizations and investigates how they coerce, deceive, and exploit their victims in the domestic service, farming, construction, and sex industries as well as in the harvesting of organs. The coverage includes common practices of human trafficking like sexual exploitation of women in Western and Central Europe, labor exploitation in the Middle East, and the exploitation of children in Western and Central Africa. Readers are introduced to various experts who have rescued and worked with victims, prosecuted cases, and conducted research to gain more insight into this crime and serious abuse of human rights, and they will gain insight into how a number of people and organizations are working to combat human trafficking and protect victims. Primary source documents that include reports by government, international organizations, and NGOs serve to aid readers in acquiring more knowledge on the topic."-- Publisher's website.
