Colombia and the United States: The Making of an Inter-American Alliance, 1939–1960
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/new_foreign_relations/4/thumbnail.jpgA valuable addition to the New Studies in U.S. Foreign Relations Series
World War II and the Cold War transformed U.S.-Colombian security relations. The republics first partnered to defend the Western Hemisphere during World War II, a wartime affiliation that promoted hemispheric solidarity, inter-American military readiness, and regional stability. After the war, Colombian and U.S. combat units fought together in Korea. A Colombian infantry battalion and frigate joined the U.S.-led United Nations Command in 1951; Colombian soldiers later served with the United Nations Emergency Force during the Suez Conflict (1956–1958). Soon thereafter, Colombian and American authorities began focusing on Colombian internal security problems, particularly issues associated with the domestic political, social, and religious convulsion known as la Violencia (1946–1958). In doing so, the two countries had formed the basis of the modern Colombian-American partnership.
Placing the bilateral relationship in a global context, this military and diplomatic history examines the importance of ideology, material interests, and power in U.S.-Latin American relations. Historian Bradley Coleman demonstrates how the making of the Colombian-American alliance exemplified hemispheric interconnectedness, a condition of ever-growing importance in the twenty-first century.
Employing available Colombian and U.S. archival sources, this book fills a gap in the literature on U.S. relations with less developed countries and provides new research on the origins an development of the U.S–Colombian alliance that will serve as an invaluable resource for scholars of U.S. and Latin American diplomacy.</p

Reading Hemingway’s Men Without Women: Glossary and Commentary
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/hemingway/10/thumbnail.jpgA close reading of a major Hemingway short story collection
“The aim of this book is not to have the final word on the meaning of the stories that compose Men Without Women. Rather, the study attempts to probe the events of each story as we encounter them. It seeks to explain historical references, to identify allusions, to see how form suggests meaning.”—From the Preface
Because of the fame The Sun Also Rises brought Ernest Hemingway, when Men Without Women was published just one year later, in 1927, it commanded popular and critical attention. Even reviewers who objected to a masculine emphasis and a sometimes harsh realism identified stories in the collection that could not be ignored. Close commentary, with special attention to allusions, demonstrates that Men Without Women merits a place among the best story collections in American literature.
Reading Hemingway’s Men Without Women guides readers toward understanding how Hemingway tested old ideas of family, gender, race, ethnicity, and manhood. This close study invites scholars, teachers, students, and general readers to take a careful look into Hemingway’s prose.</p
Teaching Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/hemingway/13/thumbnail.jpg “It is, I think, the collective hope of us involved with this volume that—through its authors’ collective experience, intellectual rigor, practical advice, conversational tone, sample syllabi, and enthusiastic encouragement—it inspires future generations of teachers to return to this iconically modernist novel so that students once again have the opportunity to understand its artistry for themselves.”—from the Introduction This first volume in the new Teaching Hemingway Series is a collection of richly nuanced, insightful, and innovative essays on teaching A Farewell to Arms from authors with varied backgrounds, including all levels of secondary and higher education. Read separately, the essays contribute to an enhanced understanding and appreciation of this master work. These seasoned instructors offer practical and creative classroom strategies, sample syllabi, and other teaching tools. Contributors include J. T. Barbarese, Brenda Gaddy Cornell, Peter L. Hays, Jennifer Haytock, Ellen Andrews Knodt, Any Lerman, James H. Meredith, Kim Moreland, Jackson A. Niday II, Charles M. (Tod) Oliver, Mark P. Ott, David Scoma, Gail D.

A Sea of Change
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/hemingway/4/thumbnail.jpgA fresh perspective on Hemingway’s work Early in his career, when To Have and Have Not was published, Ernest Hemingway’s portrayal of themes, setting, and character was often compared to Cezanne’s art—abstract. By contrast, in 1952, with the publication of The Old Man and the Sea, his style was described as comparable to Winslow Homer’s—realistic. At the center of this evolution is the contention that Hemingway’s preoccupation with and scientific study of life in the Gulf Stream moved his theory and practice of writing away from the Paris art circle of the 1920s to the new realism of the 1950s. A Sea of Change explores the importance of Hemingway’s relationship to the waters of the Gulf Stream that transformed his imaginative work. Drawing primarily on Ernest Hemingway’s handwritten and unpublished fishing logs and from published and unpublished correspondence and newspaper articles, Mark P. Ott structures this literary biography chronologically to tell the story of Hemingway’s life as it becomes immersed in the Gulf Stream. Ott connects To Have and Have Not and The Old Man and the Sea with Hemingway’s philosophical and stylistic transformation as he became increasingly educated in the natural world. A Sea of Change is the first study to examine Hemingway’s complex relationship with the Gulf Stream and how it transformed his fiction.</p
