Thanks to the careful efforts and research of Francis Clifford Lawyer's daughter, Patricia Lawyer Davis, an account of a little known episode in American history, known as "MacAuthurs's Jungle War", is shown from letters and photos spanning the period of 1941-1945. General Douglas MacArthur was the Commander in Chief of this Pacific war. Francis Clifford Lawyer's dog tag identifies him as a native of Deming, Washington. Other members of the Army, Navy, and Marines also left their home towns, jobs, and families all over the United States to fight this just war. "Letters from a Jungleer" is a story which pieces together the life of a soldier, Cliff Lawyer and his sweetheart, Marge Wheeler, going day to day, sharing their thoughts and the daily experiences of their lives both stateside and in Pacific warzone within a background of strict censorship. Marge kept every letter that Cliff sent from the warzone, but none of her letters from stateside survived. Cliff had saved them up until his first action and then was ordered to get rid of them. From then on, he burned them after reading them, "so no Jap would read his personal mail". Though he was also corresponding with his mother, and two brothers, none of those letters were saved. Both of his brothers were also serving in the war: Perry Ellsworth, nicknamed Bud saw action in Europe and Alfred Gordon, nicknamed Al or Gordy served in North Africa. The journey for Cliff began in 1942 in Fort Lewis, Washington south of Seattle. Inductees were assembled in Ft. Lewis, to be trained as hard fighting soldiers in a difficult environment. After some administrative changes, the field artillery was reorganized and the 41srt Infantry was formed. Cliff's battalion left on April 22 on the train for San Francisco and onto U.S.S. Matsonia which was pressed into national service by the military.When Cliff arrived in Australia in May of 1942, he imagined that the Pacific War would only last a year, and that he would be back soon. Near Melbourne, Cliff trained to fight the Japanese who were in New Guenea. Even if he had known anything about McArthur's war strategy, he would never have hinted at it in his letters, due to the strict censorship of G.I.'s mail. The 41st was divided into several parts for its departure overseas. Cliffs was with the 205th Battalion which was the last of the group to reach Australia. The hardest fight was about to begin in the early spring or 1944, when "the real battles of the Pacific were shaping up. Such places as Aitape, Wakde, Hollandia, and Biak were little known to the men of the 41st. All of these places would become quite familiar to Cliff as he and his unit fought their way up the New Guinea coast that spring. The 41st Division had acquired the name "The Bloody Butchers", in the words of Tokyo Rose in the Spring of 1944, a nickname that their commander said "could not make me happier". But this is hardly the picture that Cliff presented to Marge in his letters from these strife-worn months. Although he was not allowed to speak of their incredible heroism in his censored letters, he was anxious to hear from Marge about whether they had been publicized back home. From a letter dated April 15, 1944, "There must be something wrong with our publicity department if you haven't heard of any of the doings of the 41st division back there. I know there's been a few mentions in different papers and magazines back there. I've seen a few of them.Maybe you don't do much reading, do you? I don't imagine you have any too much time."

Much has been written about a state's use of the threat of military force or economic sanctions to change the behavior of another state. Less is known about the use of positive measures such as economic assistance and investment as a means of influence. This study looks at the ways in which government officials use economic instruments for foreign policy gains. More specifically, it examines the means by which a government can enhance its efforts at economic persuasion by inducing domestic business trade and investing in the target nation. The author demonstrates the domestic conditions under which the state can use commercial economic incentives to achieve foreign policy goals, especially where these incentives are meant to induce cooperative behavior from another state. Using the process of German-Polish reconciliation in the 1970s and 1980s as a case study, The Art of Economic Persuasion, argues that complex institutional links between the German government and the German business community enabled the government to encourage commercial relations with Poland, which supported the government's policies.With singular access to archives of business associations in Germany as well as numerous interviews with German and Polish officials, the author carefully retraces German foreign policy towards Poland in the 1970s and 1980s.The Art of Economic Persuasion is a theoretical addition to the literature on international political economy and international relations. It will be of interest to specialists in international relations, foreign policy, and international political economy, as well as economists, political scientists, and historians of Germany, Poland, the United States, and Cold War relations.Patricia Davis is Assistant Professor of Government and International Studies, University of Notre Dame.

Making the Difference is the first book ever to examine the category of gender as it has been and is now understood in the social sciences and its pertinence for religion and theology. One of the most significant phenomena within Western Christianity over the last generation has been the emergence of feminism and feminist theology. They are sparked by such issues as inclusive language, understandings of God, ordination of women, patriarchal patterns reflected in Christian traditions, and the role of women's experience in religion. Yet, in confronting all these concerns, feminist reflections return inexorably to the debate over the meaning and significant of gender, gender difference, and the social construction of gender. Increasing sophistication in theology and ministry on gender questions requires disciplined attention to how gender itself has been analyzed in anthropology, biology, psychoanalysis, and philosophy. Graham's bright and clear work is a detailed and critical inquiry into these disciplines and their profound import for our understanding of human culture and identity, as well as for theology, church policy, and Christian practice.
In Laying Claim: African American Cultural Memory and Southern Identity, Patricia Davis identifies the Civil War as the central narrative around which official depictions of southern culture have been defined. Because that narrative largely excluded African American points of view, the resulting southern identity was monolithically white. Davis traces how the increasing participation of black public voices in the realms of Civil War memory-battlefields, museums, online communities-has dispelled the mirage of 'southernness' as a stolid cairn of white culture and has begun to create a more fluid sense of southernness that welcomes contributions by all of the region's peoples. Laying Claim offers insightful and penetrating examinations of African American participation in Civil War reenactments; the role of black history museums in enriching representations of the Civil War era with more varied interpretations; and the internet as a forum within which participants exchange and create historical narratives that offer alternatives to unquestioned and dominant public memories. From this evolving cultural landscape, Davis demonstrates how simplistic caricatures of African American experiences are giving way to more authentic, expansive, and inclusive interpretations of southernness. As a case-study and example of change, Davis cites the evolution of depictions of life at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. Where visitors to the site once encountered narratives that repeated the stylized myth of Monticello as a genteel idyll, modern accounts of Jefferson's day offer a holistic, inclusive, and increasingly honest view of Monticello as the residents on every rung of the social ladder experienced it. Contemporary violence and attacks about or inspired by the causes, outcomes, and symbols of the Civil War, even one hundred and fifty years after its end, add urgency to Davis's argument that the control and creation of public memories of that war is an issue of concern not only to scholars but all Americans. Her hopeful examination of African American participation in public memory illuminates paths by which this enduring ideological impasse may find resolutions.

What Is a Western?

There's "western", and then there's "Western" - and where history becomes myth is an evocative question, one of several questions posed by Josh Garrett-Davis in What Is a Western? Region, Genre, Imagination. Part cultural criticism, part history, and wholly entertaining, this series of essays on specific films, books, music, and other cultural texts brings a fresh perspective to long-studied topics. Under Garrett-Davis's careful observation, cultural objects such as films and literature, art and artifacts, and icons and oddities occupy the terrain of where the West as region meets the Western genre. One crucial through line in the collection is the relationship of regional "western" works to genre "Western" works, and the ways those two categories cannot be cleanly distinguished - most work about the West is tinted by the Western genre, and Westerns depend on the region for their status and power. Garrett-Davis also seeks to answer the question "What is a Western now?" To do so, he brings the Western into dialogue with other frameworks of the "imagined West" such as Indigenous perspectives, the borderlands, and environmental thinking. The book's mosaic of subject matter includes new perspectives on the classic musical film Oklahoma!, a consideration of Native activism at Standing Rock, and surprises like Pee-wee's Big Adventure and Dr. Seuss's The Lorax. The book is influenced by the borderlands theory of Gloria Anzaldúa and the work of the indie rock band Calexico, as well as the author's own discipline of western cultural history. Richly illustrated, primarily from the collection of the Autry Museum of the American West, Josh Garrett-Davis's work is as visually interesting as it is enlightening, asking readers to consider the American West in new ways.
Much to the astonishment of retired teachers Jane and Cathy, their goal of sharing the World War One experience of Jane's father, Charles Ryan, evolved into this book. The story is based primarily on the letters found at the Ryan family farm a few years ago. The letters describe the impressions of a young soldier stationed in England as a member of the air squadron at the beginning of the American Air Force. In his writing, Charles was able to capture the bravery, challenges, and loneliness of a young man placed in an unfamiliar, threatening environment. Each letter subtly expresses a constant awareness of the chance of loss of life and most of all, the possibility of never returning to a beloved country and family.

Although the information age offers individuals from all walks of life the power to make their voices heard, we often end up with a cacophony of competing voices rather than a conversation. With so many people empowered to join the decision-making process, the number and diversity of stakeholders in governance situations poses a special challenge: how do you steer when so many hands are on the wheel? Catalytic Governance offers a proven approach to managing this challenge, built on the insight that effective leadership and governance depends less on traditional top-down approaches and more on creating shared meanings and frameworks. Drawing on their experiences managing transformational change in a complex, multi-stakeholder environment on issues ranging from finance to climate change, health, and the digital revolution, Patricia Meredith, Steven A. Rosell, and Ged R. Davis demonstrate how to use dialogue to engage stakeholders, explore alternative perspectives, develop shared mental maps and a vision of the future, and co-create strategies and initiatives to realize that future. While elements of this approach will be familiar, this is the first time they have been combined into a coherent model and tested together in practice. The book describes in detail how this was done in the process of transforming the Canadian payments system. The catalytic approach to governance is a powerful tool for leaders in the public and private sectors looking to lead and govern more effectively.
