Searching for Subversives - The Story of Italian Internment in Wartime America

Summary

When the United States entered World War II, Italian nationals living in this country were declared enemy aliens and faced with legal restrictions. Several thousand aliens and a few U.S. citizens were arrested and underwent flawed hearings, and hundreds were interned. Shedding new light on an injustice often overshadowed by the mass confinement of Japanese Americans, Mary Elizabeth Basile Chopas traces how government and military leaders constructed wartime policies affecting Italian residents. Based on new archival research into the alien enemy hearings, this in-depth legal analysis illuminates a process not widely understood. From presumptive guilt in the arrest and internment based on membership in social and political organizations, to hurdles in attaining American citizenship, Chopas uncovers many layers of repression not heretofore revealed in scholarship about the World War II home front. 
 
In telling the stories of former internees and persons excluded from military zones as they attempted to resume their lives after the war, Chopas demonstrates the lasting social and cultural effects of government policies on the Italian American community, and addresses the modern problem of identifying threats in a largely loyal and peaceful population.

    Do you just have the blues...or something more?  
     
    Feeling down is entirely reasonable in the present quick-paced society. Individuals are more stressed than any time in recent memory, but the first step is understanding what you are going through. 
     
    Depression can be a continuous withdrawal from your self-motivated life. 
     
    What differentiates every-so-often feeling down for a couple of days from depression is the seriousness of the side effects recorded above, and to what extent you've had the manifestations. Regularly, for most depressive disorders, you need felt some of those manifestations for longer than two weeks. They likewise need to cause you a considerable lot of distress in your life and meddle with your capacity to bear on your ordinary day-by-day schedule. 
     
    Depression is an extreme disorder and one that can often go undetected in a few people's lives since it can crawl up on you. Depression doesn't have to strike at the same time; it can be a continuous and almost unnoticeable withdrawal from your dynamic life and satisfaction in living. Or then again it can be caused by an unmistakable occasion, for example, the separation of a long-haul relationship, a divorce, family issues, and so forth. Finding and understanding the reasons for depression isn't so essential as getting proper and compelling treatment for it. 
     
    Here is a preview of what you'll learn....

    A survey of exemplary SoTL research projects and the use of their results on a broader scale. 
     
    When the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) emerged, it often concentrated on individual faculty practice in one classroom; it is now, however, increasingly common to find work in SoTL focused more broadly. SoTL studies may engage with a cluster of courses, a program, a particular population of students, a pedagogical approach, or a field—all of which are represented in the essays collected here by authors from a diverse array of institutions and nations. This volume features examples of SoTL research conducted in, and applied to, a variety of contexts and disciplines, offering a theoretical framework for an expanded vision of SoTL—one that moves beyond the individual classroom.

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. Jung's primary concern in Flying Saucers is not with the reality or unreality of UFOs but with their psychic aspect. Rather than speculate about their possible nature and extraterrestrial origin as alleged spacecraft, he asks what it may signify that these phenomena, whether real or imagined, are seen in such numbers just at a time when humankind is menaced as never before in history. The UFOs represent, in Jung's phrase, "a modern myth."

    Thoughts on patriotism, peace, politics, and more from Washington, Hamilton, Adams, Franklin, Jefferson, and others—in their own words. 
     
    America’s Founding Fathers were men of words as well as deeds. Keenly intelligent and deeply committed to their ideals and to the cause for American independence, they left us a legacy of addresses and documents whose profound ideas still speak with authority. The Essential Wisdom of the Founding Fathers collects more than three hundred inspiring and instructive quotations from the men who were present at our nation’s inception. Drawn from their speeches, essays, proclamations, and declarations, the thematically arranged contents reflect the subjects of greatest import to the founders as they forged our new republic. In these selections:George Washington confides that the best way to ensure peace is to be well prepared to meet one’s enemyAlexander Hamilton warns of the dangers of limiting freedom of the pressJohn Adams reasons that true liberty cannot endure without the people’s knowledge of the character and conduct of their rulers, and more 
     
    This volume includes extracts from texts published in the founders’ lifetimes in which they exchange ideas on the meaning of justice, the evils of slavery, the role of the patriot, and the pitfalls of politics. Here, too, are candid excerpts from correspondence in which they express fears about the perilous times they face, and their hopes for a brighter future.
