Abstract

Eight hundred and six of Hawaii's sons gave their lives while serving in the armed forces of the United States during the Second World War. In Freedom's Cause is a tribute and a memorial to these men. For this roll of honor, the compilers have tried to secure biographical data and photographs of all men of Hawaii who died in military service between December 7, 1941, and December 31, 1946, when President Harry S. Truman proclaimed the termination of hostilities. Collection of these records started almost as soon as the Hawaii War Records Depository was established at the University of Hawaii in the spring of 1943. The Depository, set up as a result of cooperative action on the part of members of the faculty of the University, territorial legislators, and other public leaders, was authorized to collect and preserve all available historical records pertaining to Hawaii's participation in World War II. One of its first projects was to assemble a file of biographical data on men who had died in military service, which would become one of many sources from which information for this volume was gathered.

Abstract

First published in 2011, You Can Help Your Country: English children's work during the Second World War reveals the remarkable, hidden history of children as social agents who actively participated in a national effort during a period of crisis. In praise of the book, Hugh Cunningham, celebrated author of The Invention of Childhood, wrote: 'Think of children and the Second World War, and evacuation comes immediately to mind. Berry Mayall and Virginia Morrow have a different story to tell, one in which all the children of the nation were encouraged to contribute to the war effort. Many responded enthusiastically. Evidence from school magazines and oral testimony shows children digging for victory, working on farms, knitting comforts for the troops, collecting waste for recycling, running households. What lessons, the authors ask, does this wartime participation by children have for our own time? The answers are challenging.' You Can Help Your Country is a stimulating, entertaining and scholarly contribution to the history of childhood, prompting thought about childhood today and on children's rights, as citizens, to participate in social and political life. This revised edition includes a new preface and illustrations, and offers an up-to-date reflection on the relevance of thinking historically about children's work for global campaigns to end child labour. It is essential reading for academics, researchers and students in childhood studies, the sociology of childhood and children's rights. Its engaging style will also appeal to anyone interested in social history and the history of the Second World War.

Abstract

Op het moment dat de Duitsers op 10 mei 1940 Nederland binnenvielen, wist christen en socialist J.H. Scheps precies wat hem te doen stond: de vijand weerstaan. Dat heeft Scheps ook op bijzondere wijze gedaan. Afkerig als hij was van het gebruik van geweld, geloofde hij slechts in de kracht van geestelijke weerbaarheid. Scheps liet zich daarbij leiden door het evangelie, het socialisme, de democratie en het positieve recht.In tal van spreekbeurten en brochures riep hij zijn landgenoten op tot dezelfde houding. Hij ging er tot het einde van de bezettingstijd mee door, ook in de periode 1944-1945

Abstract

A Study of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia UniversityKingdom of Beauty shows that the discovery of mingei (folk art) by Japanese intellectuals in the 1920s and 1930s was central to the complex process by which Japan became both a modern nation and an imperial world power. Kim Brandt's account of the mingei movement locates its origins in colonial Korea, where middle-class Japanese artists and collectors discovered that imperialism offered them special opportunities to amass art objects and gain social, cultural, and even political influence. Later, min

Abstract

The Second World War is often seen as a period of emancipation, because of the influx of women into paid work, and because the state took steps to relieve women of domestic work. This study challenges such a picture. The state approached the removal of women from the domestic sphere with extreme caution, in spite of the desperate need for women's labour in war work. Women's own preferences were frequently neglected or distorted in the search for a compromise between production and patriarchy. However, the enduring practices of paying women less and treating them as an inferior catego

Abstract

Het essay Tussen ooggetuigen en erflaters is een onderzoek naar de verantwoordelijkheid voor de nalatenschap van de generatie die '40-'45 nog meemaakte. Bij de overheid? Bij de vele lotgenotenorganisaties? Of vooral bij de kinderen? En moet de herinnering aan WO II inderdaad wel eeuwig levend worden gehouden? Een zoektocht op de grensvlakken van persoonlijke herinnering, collectief gedenken en erfgoedzorg.
