In Of Love and War Angela Wanhalla details the intimate relationships forged during wartime between women and U.S. servicemen stationed in the South Pacific, traces the fate of wartime marriages, and addresses consequences for the women and children left behind. Paying particular attention to the experiences of women in New Zealand and in the island Pacific-including Tonga, Fiji, Samoa, and the Cook Islands-Of Love and War aims to illuminate the impact of global war on these women, their families, and Pacific societies. Wanhalla argues that Pacific war brides are an important though largely neglected cohort whose experiences of U.S. military occupation expand our understanding of global war. By examining the effects of American law on the marital opportunities of couples, their ability to reunite in the immediate postwar years, and the citizenship status of any children born of wartime relationships, Wanhalla makes a significant contribution to a flourishing scholarship concerned with the intersections between race, gender, sexuality, and militarization in the World War II era.
Reviews / Votes
"Of Love and War is a much-needed addition to the scholarship on World War II brides, militarized intimacy, and gendered migration. Not only does it fill a gap in the historiography, but it also encourages readers to consider the experiences of Indigenous women and the women and children who were left behind after the Americans left."-Sonia C. Gomez, Journal of Arizona History "Of Love and War is a captivating book that provides a rich history of the global forces of war and militarism that shaped the local lives of women. Scholars positioned in Pacific studies, women and gender studies, and US military studies will find this book useful."-Sara Kang, H-Diplo "Wanhalla's work is an important and compelling social and legal history that not only centres Pacific women in considering how wartime marriages were shaped by and later remade US immigration policy, but also reveals the spectre of military control in private lives across the Pacific long after hostilities ended."-Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History "Of Love and War offers a methodological case study that historians of other conflicts can apply to their work in order to demonstrate the effects of war and militarization on women's lives and the involvement of the U.S. military in regulating the personal lives of soldiers and occupied citizens. Angela Wanhalla paints a rich and compelling picture of the lives of soldiers and civilians in love and war. . . . Fascinating and well-researched."-Heather Marie Stur, author of Saigon at War: South Vietnam and the Global SixtiesMore details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
