Remembering African Labor Migration to the Second World

Socialist Mobilities between Angola, Mozambique, and East Germany

Remembering African Labor Migration to the Second World

Socialist Mobilities between Angola, Mozambique, and East Germany

By: Marcia C. Schenck

This open access book is about Mozambicans and Angolans who migrated in state-sponsored schemes to East Germany in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s. They went to work and to be trained as a vanguard labor force for the intended African industrial revolutions. While they were there, they contributed their labor power to the East German economy. This book draws on more than 260 life history interviews and uncovers complex and contradictory experiences and transnational encounters. What emerges is a series of dualities that exist side by side in the memories of the former migrants: the state and the individual, work and consumption, integration and exclusion, loss and gain, and the past in the past and the past in the present and future. By uncovering these dualities, the book explores the lives of African migrants moving between the Third and Second worlds. Devoted to the memories of worker-trainees, this transnational study comes at a time when historians are uncovering the many varied, complicated, and important connections within the global socialist world.

When Hope is Deferred

By: Marcia G. Berger

How does one hold on to hope when everything in your personal life and the world around you turns to ashes? This was the plight of Zachariah and Elisheva. During the tempestuous reign of King Herod the Great, upheaval was common. There was war, corruption, conspiracy, drought, famine, pestilence, and death, which dogged the people on every side. This was the world all around them. Between their personal anguish and their world, will they be able to navigate through life without losing their trust and faith in Adonai? Can they hold on to the promises of Adonai for themselves and their nation even when the heavens seem like brass when they pray?

Jews of Florida: Centuries of Stories

By: Marcia Jo Zerivitz

This first comprehensive history of the Jews of Florida from colonial times to the present is a sweeping tapestry of voices. Despite not being officially allowed to live in Florida until 1763, Jewish immigrants escaping expulsions and exclusions were among the earliest settlers. They have been integral to every facet of Florida's growth, from tilling the land and developing early communities to boosting tourism and ultimately pushing mankind into space. The Sunshine State's Jews, working for the common good, have been Olympians, Nobel Prize winners, computer pioneers, educators, politicians, leaders in business and the arts and more, while maintaining their heritage to help ensure Jewish continuity for future generations. This rich narrative - accompanied by 700 images, most rarely seen - is the result of three-plus decades of grassroots research by author Marcia Jo Zerivitz, giving readers an incomparable look at the long and crucial history of Jews in Florida.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to 30,000 Baby Names

By: Marcia Layton Turner,Robbi Hess

The Complete Idiot s Guide to 30,000 Baby Namesoffers a little something extra than the majority of books on the market. Rather than provide readers with an alphabetized name list for each gender (which, by the way, it also does), it dedicates approximately half of its total pages to various lists that help parents zero in on the perfect name for their baby and add some fun to the baby-naming process. In addition to the various lists of names and a two-color alphabetized name section, this book also contains colorful name histories and helpful information on how to go about finding and choosing the perfect name. Lists include something for everyone.
