  Remembering the Forgotten War: The Enduring Legacies of the U.S.-Mexican War

  Michael S. Van Wagenen, Georgia Southern University

  9-12-2012
  

  Georgia Southern faculty member, Michael S. Van Wagenen, authored Remembering the Forgotten War: The Enduring Legacies of the U.S.-Mexican War. On February 2, 1848, representatives of the United States and Mexico signed the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo officially ending hostilities between the two countries and ceding over one-half million square miles of land to the northern victors. In Mexico, this defeat has gradually moved from the periphery of dishonor to the forefront of national consciousness. In the United States, the war has taken an opposite trajectory, falling from its once-celebrated prominence into the shadowy margins of forgetfulness and denial.

  Women and the Great War: Femininity under Fire in Italy

  Allison Scardino Belzer, Armstrong State Univeristy

  2010
  

  Drawing on both wartime discourse about women and the voices of individual women living at the Italian Front, Allison Belzer analyzes how women participated in the Great War and how it affected them. The Great War transformed women into purveyors and recipients of a new feminine ideal that emphasized their status as national citizens. Although Italian women did not gain the vote, they did encounter a less empowering form of female citizenship just after the war ended with Mussolini's Fascism. Because of the Great War, many women seized the opportunity to participate in a society that continued to recognize them ... Read more
