Diverging experiences of decolonisation / Wm. Roger Louis."Decolonising Europe? Popular Responses to the End of Empire offers a new paradigm to understand decolonisation in Europe by showing how it was fundamentally a fluid process of fluxes and refluxes involving not only transfers of populations, ideas and socio-cultural practices across continents but also complex intra-European dynamics at a time of political convergence following the Treaty of Rome. Decolonisation was neither a process of sudden, rapid changes to European cultures nor one of cultural inertia, but a development marked by fluidity, movement, and dynamism. Rather than being a static process where Europe's (former) metropoles and their peoples 'at home' reacted to the end of empire 'out there', decolonisation translated into new realities for Europe's cultures, societies, and politics as flows, ebbs, fluxes, and cultural refluxes reshaped both former colonies and former metropoles. The volume's contributors set out a carefully crafted panorama of decolonisation's sequels in European popular culture by means of in-depth studies of specific cases and media, analysing the interwoven meaning, momentum, memory, material culture, and migration patterns of the end of empire across eight major European countries. The revised meaning of 'decolonisation' that emerges will challenge scholars in several fields, and the panorama of new research in the book charts paths for new investigations. The question mark in the title asks not only how European cultures experienced the 'end of empire' but also the extent to which this is still a work in progress"--Provided by publisher.Empires and the making of the modern world, 1650-2000.Collective memoryEuropePostcolonialismSocial aspectsDecolonizationHistoryEuropeColoniesSocial conditions20th centuryCollective memoryPostcolonialismSocial aspects.DecolonizationHistory.325.3094Sèbe BernyStanard Matthew G.OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910825890703321Decolonising Europe4020465UNINA04318oam 22007094a 450 991080599980332120250905110032.09798890850966978146962977314696297719781469629780146962978X(CKB)3710000000844733(EBL)4525847(StDuBDS)EDZ0001599652(MiAaPQ)EBC4525847(OCoLC)957998283(MdBmJHUP)muse53346(Perlego)539684(ODN)ODN0003379718(EXLCZ)99371000000084473320160229d2016 uy 0engur|n|---|||||rdacontentrdacontentrdamediardacarrierDefiant BracerosHow Migrant Workers Fought for Racial, Sexual, and Political Freedom /Mireya LozaChapel Hill :The University of North Carolina Press,[2016]Baltimore, Md. :Project MUSE,2016©[2016]1 online resource (254 p.)The David J.

Representing memory: braceros in the archive and museum."In this book, Mireya Loza sheds new light on the history of the Bracero Program (1942-1964), the binational agreement between the United States and Mexico that allowed hundreds of thousands of male Mexican workers to enter this country on temporary work permits. While this program and the issue of temporary workers has long been politicized on both sides of the border, Loza argues that the prevailing romanticized image of braceros as a family-oriented, productive, legal workforce has obscured the real, diverse experiences of the workers themselves. Focusing on underexplored aspects of workers' lives such as their transnational union organizing efforts, the sexual economies of both gay and straight workers, and the ethno-racial boundaries among Mexican indigenous braceros, Loza reveals how these men defied perceived political, sexual, and racial norms. Basing her work on an archive of more than 800 oral histories from the United States and Mexico, Loza is the first scholar to carefully differentiate between the experiences of Spanish-speaking guest workers and the many Mixtec, Zapotec, Purhepecha, and Mayan laborers. In doing so, she demonstrates how these transnational workers were able to forge new identities in the face of intense discrimination and exploitation"--Provided by publisher.David J.
