Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A deep and dedicated investigation into how German immigrants assimilated in South Carolina up to the mid-20th century.The Charleston community is rendered with great care in this interesting historical account.If you think you know a city, think again-just below the surface, the history is vast.' -Independent Book Review'An engaging history of Germans in Charleston, South Carolina, and the fading of a cultural identity.' -BookLifeBy 1900, the German population in the United States was close to 2.7 million. In numerous cities in the Northeast and Midwest, those who had immigrated in the nineteenth century congregated in demarcated ethnic neighborhoods-'little Germanies.' This was not the case of the German immigrant community in Charleston, South Carolina. The establishment and evolution of the nineteenth-century German immigrant community there was as unique as the southern Lowcountry city itself.Early German-speaking immigrants had become settled Charlestonians by the middle of the eighteenth century, having founded the first German militia in America (the German Fusiliers), supported America in the Revolutionary War, and established themselves as successful merchants, a number of whom could be counted among the city's leaders.By the middle of the nineteenth century, a new wave of German immigrants-primarily of North German origin-constituted an ethnic community that would become fully integrated with the southern host community by the turn of the century. These German-Americans and their descendants would nonetheless experience the anti-German animus that prevailed in the period before and after WWI. The ethnic heritage of Charleston's German-Americans, many of whom had contributed significantly to the city's rich social, cultural, political, and economic history, would be suppressed and denied to the extent that it almost completely disappeared.Robert Alston Jones, a Charleston native and Emeritus Professor of German at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, takes us back in time to this unique period in Charleston's history. He uncovers the vibrant and often surprising lives, contributions, and culture of the city's nineteenth-century German community of immigrants as it developed, matured, and transitioned into the twentieth century. He argues that the legacy of that ethnic community is still perceptible, if only infrequently acknowledged. He invites the reader to reflect on what it has meant to have had North Germans cross the Atlantic to settle in Charleston and become Charlestonians.

Soft cover. Zustand: Good. The first historical survey of Omani-British relations. Original A4 staple-bound illustrated wraps. Printed by Mazoon Printing Press. 40pp including full page colour frontis portraits of Sultan Qaboos and Queen Elizabeth II, and b/w photos and drawings throughout. Covers about very good, lightly creased. Interiors mostly very good except for a little underlining and annotation, and some foxing, with the centre pages loose. Presumably prepared for participants and other stakeholders, this appears to be extremely rare with Worldcat and Library Hub locating only 2 copies (SOAS, Exeter University), with an online search locating another at the Anglo-Omani Society. This was issued to accompany the Oman with Britain Festival held during Feb 1989 at venues across Oman in Muscat, Nizwa, Sohar, and Salalah. The Festival included educational, economic, cultural and sporting activities, and a major trade exhibition. With Sultan Qaboos' support, it was initiated by Ambassador Robert Alston, who in a later interview with the Anglo-Omani Society, described this book as "the first systematic look at the history of Britain relations with Oman from the seventeenth century onwards", and the precursor to his book "Unshook till the End of Time - A History of Britain and Oman". It contains opening statements by Alston and PM Margaret Thatcher, with sections on first contact, ships seafarers and diplomats, 19th and 20th centuries, explorers in the Rub al Khali, official contacts, development, defence, culture and society. Illustrations include historic maps and engravings, vintage b/w photos of locations, events, local people, landscapes, explorers, top level diplomatic and royal visits, etc. Reference: Anglo-Omani Society (1989) "Oman with Britain Celebrations: Friendship and Cooperation".
