"An uncommonly well balanced account of the political biases of American movies ... A fine read for the generalist yet a scholarly achievement."---Choice. "You cannot but be seduced and even sometimes bedazzled by Bodnar's clear, well-informed and impartial analysis."---Cercles. "Bodnar provides a useful provocation. He asks us to think imaginatively about the subtle and complex ways movies communicate ideas and attitudes."---Journal of American History. "Open minded and even handed, he appreciates the nuances and mixed messages of Hollywood cinema."---American Historical Review. "The "Good War" in American Memory dispels the long-held myth that Americans forged an agreement on why they had to fight in World War II. John Bodnar's sociocultural examination of the vast public debate that took place in the United States over the war's meaning reveals that the idea of the "good war" was highly contested." "Bodnar's comprehensive study of the disagreements that marked the American remembrance of World War II in the six decades following its end draws on an array of sources: fiction and nonfiction, movies, theater, and public monuments. He identifies alternative strands of memory---tragic and brutal versus heroic and virtuous---and reconstructs controversies involving veterans, minorities, and memorials. In building this narrative, Bodnar shows how the idealism of President Franklin Roosevelt's Four Freedoms was lost in the public commemoration of World War II, how the war's memory became intertwined in the larger discussion over American national identity, and how it only came to be known as the "good war" many years after its conclusion."--BOOK JACKET. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aCollective memory$zUnited States 606 $aMemory$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aWar and society$zUnited States 606 $aNational characteristics, American 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xSocial aspects 615 0$aCollective memory 615 0$aMemory$xSocial aspects 615 0$aWar and society 615 0$aNational characteristics, American. 676 $a940.53/73 700 $aBodnar$b John E.$f1944-$0876095 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464251403321 996 $aThe "Good War" in American memory$91956526 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03874nam 2200697Ia 450 001 9910454590503321 005 20210814004657.0 010 $a0-674-03425-2 024 7 $a10.4159/9780674034259 035 $a(CKB)1000000000786774 035 $a(StDuBDS)AH23050669 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000175293 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11154375 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000175293 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10190136 035 $a(PQKB)10602587 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3300329 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3300329 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10315833 035 $a(OCoLC)923110581 035 $a(DE-B1597)574590 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780674034259 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000786774 100 $a20010609d2001 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aHungering for America$b[electronic resource] $eItalian, Irish, and Jewish foodways in the age of migration /$fHasia R.

How they experienced the realities of America's abundant food--its meat and white bread, its butter and cheese, fruits and vegetables, coffee and beer--reflected their earlier deprivations and shaped their ethnic practices in the new land. Hungering for America tells the stories of three distinctive groups and their unique culinary dramas. Italian immigrants transformed the food of their upper classes and of sacred days into a generic "Italian" food that inspired community pride and cohesion. Irish immigrants, in contrast, loath to mimic the foodways of the Protestant British elite, diminished food as a marker of ethnicity. And, East European Jews, who venerated food as the vital center around which family and religious practice gathered, found that dietary restrictions jarred with America's boundless choices. These tales, of immigrants in their old worlds and in the new, demonstrate the role of hunger in driving migration and the significance of food in cementing ethnic identity and community. Hasia Diner confirms the well-worn adage, "Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are." 606 $aItalians$xFood$zUnited States 606 $aIrish$xFood$zUnited States 606 $aJews$xFood$zUnited States 606 $aImmigrants$zUnited States 606 $aFood habits$zUnited States 606 $aFood habits$zEurope 606 $aFamines$zEurope 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aItalians$xFood 615 0$aIrish$xFood 615 0$aJews$xFood 615 0$aImmigrants 615 0$aFood habits 615 0$aFood habits 615 0$aFamines 676 $a394.108900973 700 $aDiner$b Hasia R$0458823 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454590503321 996 $aHungering for America$92157105 997 $aUNINA
