Описание: The New Deal era witnessed a surprising surge in popular engagement with the history and memory of the Civil War era. From the omnipresent book and film Gone with the Wind and the scores of popular theater productions to Aaron Copeland's ""A Lincoln Portrait,"" it was hard to miss America's fascination with the war in the 1930s and 1940s. Nina Silber deftly examines the often conflicting and politically contentious ways in which Americans remembered the Civil War era during the years of the Depression, the New Deal, and World War II. In doing so, she reveals how the debates and events of that earlier period resonated so profoundly with New Deal rhetoric about state power, emerging civil rights activism, labor organizing and trade unionism, and popular culture in wartime. At the heart of this book is an examination of how historical memory offers people a means of understanding and defining themselves in the present. Silber reveals how, during a moment of enormous national turmoil, the events and personages of the Civil War provided a framework for reassessing national identity, class conflict, and racial and ethnic division. The New Deal era may have been the first time Civil War memory loomed so large for the nation as a whole, but, as the present moment suggests, it was hardly the last.

Описание: In Revolutionaries on the Postwar Highway: Disillusionment in El Salvador, the author chronicles the political violence, collective trauma, and continued injustice for the people of El Salvador as they transition to peace and democracy following the twelve-year civil war between the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front and the Salvadoran government. The book is centered largely upon twenty months of fieldwork spanning from 1993-2007 in the former war zone of Chalatenango. Following the war, this area was the focus of national and international reconstruction projects. The book is mainly structured around two central moments, the immediate postwar period of reconstruction (1993-1998), and the more recent period of emigration to the United States (2000-2007). Giving a long term view of what happens in the aftermath of a protracted war, Silber traces the lives of the rank and file members of this historic struggle for justice and reconstruction, following community members along their journey from revolutionary activists to postwar development recipients and ambivalent grassroots actors, to in many cases now undocumented migrants. Silber pays particular attention to the gendered dimensions of the clash between a revolutionary social project and the demands of postwar reconstruction and neoliberalism. She argues that the dynamics of postwar rebuilding served to remarginalize members of destroyed communities. This book will contribute to the recent wave of anthropological scholarship on political violence, providing an important case study on transitional justice and reconciliation.

How silver influenced two hundred years of world history, and why it matters today
This is the story of silver's transformation from soft money during the nineteenth century to hard asset today, and how manipulations of the white metal by American president Franklin D. Roosevelt during the 1930s and by the richest man in the world, Texas oil baron Nelson Bunker Hunt, during the 1970s altered the course of American and world history. FDR pumped up the price of silver to help jump start the U.S. economy during the Great Depression, but this move weakened China, which was then on the silver standard, and facilitated Japan's rise to power before World War II. Bunker Hunt went on a silver-buying spree during the 1970s to protect himself against inflation and triggered a financial crisis that left him bankrupt.
Silver has been the preferred shelter against government defaults, political instability, and inflation for most people in the world because it is cheaper than gold. The white metal has been the place to hide when conventional investments sour, but it has also seduced sophisticated investors throughout the ages like a siren. This book explains how powerful figures, up to and including Warren Buffett, have come under silver's thrall, and how its history guides economic and political decisions in the twenty-first century.
