Book Description
The "stirring," definitive history of America's decisive role in winning World War I (Wall Street Journal). The American contribution to World War I is one of the great stories of the twentieth century, and yet it has all but vanished from view. Historians have dismissed the American war effort as largely economic and symbolic. But as Geoffrey Wawro shows in Sons of Freedom, the French and British were on the verge of collapse in 1918, and would have lost the war without the Doughboys. Field Marshal Douglas Haig, commander of the British Expeditionary Force, described the Allied victory as a "miracle" -- but it was a distinctly American miracle. In Sons of Freedom, prize-winning historian Geoffrey Wawro weaves together in thrilling detail the battles, strategic deliberations, and dreadful human cost of the American war effort. A major revision of the history of World War I, Sons of Freedom resurrects the brave heroes who saved the Allies, defeated Germany, and established the United States as the greatest of the great powers.

Book Description
Muslim American Youth offers a critical conceptual framework to aid in understanding Muslim American identity formation processes, a framework which can also be applied to other groups of marginalized and immigrant youth. In addition, through their innovative data and analytic methods the authors provide an antidote to "qualitative vs. quantitative" arguments that have unnecessarily captured much time and energy in psychology and other behavioral sciences. Muslim American Youth provides a much-needed roadmap for those seeking to understand how Muslim youth and other groups of immigrant youth negotiate their identities as Americans.--Book jacket.

Book Description
The nine essays in Asian North American Identities explore how Asian North Americans are no longer caught between worlds of the old and the new, the east and the west, and the south and the north. Moving beyond national and diasporic models of ethnic identity to focus on the individual feelings and experiences of those who are not part of a dominant white majority, the essays collected here draw from a wide range of sources, including novels, art, photography, poetry, cinema, theatre, and popular culture. The book illustrates how Asian North Americans are developing new ways of seeing and thinking about themselves by eluding imposed identities and creating spaces that offer alternative sites from which to speak and imagine. Contributors are Jeanne Yu-Mei Chiu, Patricia Chu, Rocio G. Davis, Donald C. Goellnicht, Karlyn Koh, Josephine Lee, Leilani Nishime, Caroline Rody, Jeffrey J. Santa Ana, Malini Johar Schueller, and Eleanor Ty.

Book Description
Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. To hyphenate or not to hyphenate has been a central point of controversy since before the imprinting of the first Gutenberg Bible. And yet, the hyphen has persisted, bringing and bridging new words and concepts. Hyphen follows the story of the hyphen from antiquity-"Hyphen” is derived from an ancient Greek word meaning “to tie together” -to the present, but also uncovers the politics of the hyphen and the role it plays in creating identities. The journey of this humble piece of connective punctuation reveals the quiet power of an orthographic concept to speak to the travails of hyphenated individuals all over the world. Hyphen is ultimately a compelling story about the powerful ways that language and identity intertwine. Mahdavi-herself a hyphenated Iranian-American-weaves in her own experiences struggling to find a sense of self amidst feelings of betwixt and between. Through stories of the author and three other individuals, Hyphen collectively considers how to navigate, articulate, and empower new identities. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

Book Description
Writing about the past helps to explain why I am discontent and continuously angry. I am reminded that America is a society dominated by religious fundamentalism and racism. After a time, I rejected the White American world and went to Asia, seeking another basis for my identity. My identity is still in question. I cannot become an Asian and although I was born in this country, I am not accepted as an American citizen. As my birth certificate clearly states - I am not of an accepted racial color.

Book Description
"Hyphenated Americans: A Tale of Systemic Exclusion" sheds light on the struggles faced by diverse communities within the United States and their persistent battle against systemic exclusion. This insightful book explores the experiences of individuals who identify as hyphenated Americans, referring to those whose heritage or identity connects them to a specific cultural or ethnic group hyphenated with their American citizenship.From the early waves of immigrants to contemporary times, hyphenated Americans have encountered various forms of discrimination and marginalization. The book delves into the historical context of this exclusion, tracing its roots to discriminatory policies and attitudes that perpetuated inequality and hindered the full integration of diverse communities.The narrative highlights the challenges faced by different hyphenated American groups, including African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Native Americans, focusing on Hispanics in South Texas. It explores the systemic barriers they encountered, such as restrictive immigration laws, racially biased policies, segregation, and limited access to education, employment, and housing opportunities.Through personal stories, interviews, and compelling anecdotes, the book captures the resilience and determination of hyphenated Americans in their quest for equality and social justice. It underscores the importance of collective action and the role of community organizations, civil rights movements, and advocacy groups in challenging and dismantling systemic exclusion.Furthermore, "Hyphenated Americans" critically examines the intersectionality of identities, recognizing that hyphenated Americans face multiple layers of discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender, religion, and sexuality. The book emphasizes the interconnectedness of various struggles and the need for solidarity among marginalized communities to combat systemic exclusion effectively While acknowledging the progress made in the United States toward dismantling discriminatory practices, the book calls for continued efforts to address the lasting impact of historical injustices and to create a more inclusive society. It encourages readers to reflect on their own biases and actively engage in building a society that values and embraces the rich diversity of hyphenated Americans.In its concise yet thought-provoking approach "Hyphenated Americans: A Tale of Systemic Exclusion" invites readers to confront the legacy of discrimination and envision a more equitable future for all individuals, regardless of their hyphenated identities.
