Building Milwaukee City Hall - Dennis Pajot - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

Building Milwaukee City Hall - Dennis Pajot - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

Milwaukee''s City Hall on East Wells and North Water streets is a landmark. Not only officially, but as part of Milwaukee''s identity, from the city''s flag to the Laverne and Shirley sit-com in the 1970s. The site for this familiar building was not easily chosen. The final location was not the first choice for most of Milwaukee''s movers and shakers, and after it was finally settled upon, the difficulties only became bigger. Battles over designs and the bidding process became politically heated and personal in nature. Cost overruns in the construction, although common at the time, grew to gigantic proportions. The completed building was, however, structurally sound and pleasing to the eye. Still standing 115 years later, it is a monument to the Milwaukee government officials, architect and builder.

The Heimatklaenge and the Danube Swabians in Milwaukee - Julia Anderle De Sylor - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The Heimatklaenge and the Danube Swabians in Milwaukee - Julia Anderle De Sylor - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

For over 300 years, Danube Swabians had maintained their German dialect and culture in Hungary and Yugoslavia. The events after WWII, including expulsion from their homes and ethnic persecution, radically destabilized this minority’s conception of Heimat . Written specifically for the Danube Swabians in Milwaukee, the Heimatklänge newsletters provide insight into the challenges and successes of a Catholic immigrant community in America. This study seeks to define Structured Grounded Theory, which was informed by Charmaz Constructivist Grounded Theory (2006). The method examined parish newsletters for a German immigrant community and developed a Model of Holistic Integration, which identifies the parishioners’ past trauma and immigrant challenges and seeks innovative strategies to reconcile the two.

Intersections of Race, Gender, and Precarity - Stephanie M. Baran - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Intersections of Race, Gender, and Precarity - Stephanie M. Baran - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

In Intersections of Race, Gender, and Precarity: Navigating Insecurities in an American City, Stephanie Baran argues that when it comes to assistance the United States government often creates more problems than it solves. These institutions are not in the business of creating a pathway for people to escape poverty, often compounding that poverty instead. Through a two-year ethnographic study of poverty and insecurity in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the author shows how people navigate situations of poverty through interviews with recipients and organizations as well as those working at a local community pantry. Consequently, research uncovered how local food organizations with connections to the Milwaukee Chapter of the Black Panther Party hide their more radical roots to protect food donations from white donors, in essence protecting white fragility. People are far closer to experiencing poverty than they realize, as shown by the Government Shutdown of 2019 and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and typically have incomplete and inaccurate ideas of poverty as well as how people can experience upward mobility. Intersections of Race, Gender, and Precarity reveals this gap through a focus on how all these factors show up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The Welsh in Metro America - Robert Llewellyn Tyler - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The Welsh in Metro America - Robert Llewellyn Tyler - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The Welsh comprised a distinct and highly visible community in many areas of the United States during the late decades of the nineteenth century and the early decades of the twentieth. Through a consideration of settlement patterns, economic activity, language use, and cultural and religious institutions, The Welsh in Metro America: Respectability and Assimilation in San Francisco, Seattle, Columbus, and Milwaukee, 1870–1930 provides a micro study of four identifiable Welsh communities in Columbus, Ohio; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Seattle, Washington; and San Francisco, California over a set period of time. In addition, the book endeavors to understand the strength and long-term viability of these communities and the ways in which they changed by analyzing the forces that enabled Welsh immigrants and their children to so rapidly become Welsh Americans and, ultimately, to almost seamlessly enter the mainstream world of white, English-speaking, Protestant America.

The Middle Front - - Bog - Park Books - Plusbog.dk

The Middle Front - - Bog - Park Books - Plusbog.dk

The Middle Front is the first-ever monograph on La Dallman Architects, a Milwaukee-based firm with offices also in Boston and Miami. Lavishly illustrated, it articulates a profound architectural stance amid the extremes of radical innovation and banal convention. The firm’s founding principles Grace La and James Dallman explore this middle ground through designs that navigate between avant-garde aesthetics and pragmatic solutions. Their reflective book – born from their formative years and experiences at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, and subsequent practice in Milwaukee, Wisconsin – rejects both the spectacle of the avant-garde and the ubiquity of conventional forms. It engages with architecture''s potential in a complex world, seeking a balanced, inclusive disciplinary approach. The Middle Front unfolds through essays and featured projects, demonstrating La Dallman Architect''s commitment to a nuanced, contextually responsive architecture that embraces the challenges and opportunities of urban and environmental complexities. It invites a re-examination of architectural practice, advocating for a responsive, thoughtful approach that values depth and connection over mere novelty or tradition.

Cultural Safety,Healthcare and Vulnerable Populations - Lucy (university Of Wisconsin Milwaukee Mkandawire Valhmu - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd -

Cultural Safety,Healthcare and Vulnerable Populations - Lucy (university Of Wisconsin Milwaukee Mkandawire Valhmu - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd -

Culturally safe healthcare is rapidly challenging previous notions of cultural competency or cultural sensitivity in healthcare provision. The increasing number of vulnerable populations means healthcare must be given by a healthcare provider who has developed a social consciousness in relation to his or her own socio-cultural positioning versus that of the patient. A culturally safe practitioner has engaged in an active examination of the power differences existing in this patient-provider relationship. In this book, Lucy Mkandawire-Valhmu critically analyzes the complex issues affecting the health of vulnerable populations. Written from a critical theoretical perspective she seeks to enhance the ability of the healthcare student to develop a social consciousness about the realities faced by many populations living on the margins of society, and thereafter make an active and conscious decision to engage in culturally safe healthcare and contribute to the elimination of health disparities. Through the application of postcolonial feminist theory this book conceptualizes health as being historically situated in social relations of power and emphasizes health interventions that are potentially empowering, and enhance emancipatory change. Through discussions of health provision for ethnic minorities, immigrant populations, and refugees, the book seeks to provide pragmatic guidance for culturally safe care for a variety of marginalized populations and invites students and professionals to think deeply about the implications of power, culture and health.

Central Labor Councils and the Revival of American Unionism: - Immanuel Ness - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Central Labor Councils and the Revival of American Unionism: - Immanuel Ness - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Central Labor Councils are the local arm of the labor movement responsible for coordinating collective activities among different unions in a region. Once quite powerful organizations with important political roles at local and regional levels, CLCs waned significantly during the 1940s and 50s. This work examines the recent re-emergence of Central Labor Councils and how they are being utilized as effective bodies to help rejuvenate the labor movement. It combines comprehensive history of the CLCs in America since the early 19th century and case studies by CLC leaders in Atlanta, Milwaukee, San Jose, and Seattle -- the regions where CLCs have re-emerged as important players in advancing the labor movement.

The Black Panthers in the Midwest - Andrew Witt - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Black Panthers in the Midwest - Andrew Witt - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This book analyzes the community programs of the Black Panther Party, specifically those of the Milwaukee branch, with the aim of dispelling many of the existing stereotypes about the Party. Misconceptions range from the Party being labeled as bent on the violent destruction of the United States to it being an overwhelmingly sexist group. This book challenges stereotypes such as these by examining the community programs of the Party and by looking at the role of women in the Party. Witt argues that the Party was not an extremist group dedicated to overthrowing the government of the United States, but rather an organization committed to providing essential community services for lower-income and working-class African American communities around the nation.
