{"product_id":"entangling-alliances-susan-zeiger-9780814797174","title":"Entangling Alliances: Foreign War Brides and American Soldiers in the Twentieth Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThroughout the twentieth century, American male soldiers returned home from wars with foreign-born wives in tow, often from allied but at times from enemy nations, resulting in a new, official category of immigrant: the \"allied\" war bride. These brides began to appear en masse after World War I, peaked after World War II, and persisted through the Korean and Vietnam Wars. GIs also met and married former \"enemy\" women under conditions of postwar occupation, although at times the US government banned such unions.\u003cbr\u003eIn this comprehensive, complex history of war brides in 20th-century American history, Susan Zeiger uses relationships between American male soldiers and foreign women as a lens to view larger issues of sexuality, race, and gender in United States foreign relations. Entangling Alliances draws on a rich array of sources to trace how war and postwar anxieties about power and national identity have long been projected onto war brides, and how these anxieties translate into public policies, particularly immigration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Zeiger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814797172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814797174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.38w x 0.98d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2011","brand":"Susan Zeiger","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44491382522111,"sku":"9780814797174","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7f4488a0-5c29-46b8-bd5b-dbae74df4bb9.jpg?v=1699450880","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/entangling-alliances-susan-zeiger-9780814797174","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
