Wraps. Condition: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. 128 pages. Illustrations. Source Bibliography. Catalog of the Exhibition. Gerald Z. Levin was a Historian at the National Portrait Gallery. This work was published for the National Portrait Gallery. Smithsonian Institution Press Publication No. 5063. Cover has slight wear and soiling. The National Portrait Gallery was authorized and founded by Congress in 1962 with the mission to acquire and display portraits of "men and women who have made significant contributions to the history, development, and culture of the people of the United States." Today, the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery continues to narrate the multi-faceted and ever-changing story of America through the individuals who have shaped its culture. As the nation's only complete collection of presidential portraits outside the White House, the "America's Presidents" exhibition lies at the heart of the Portrait Gallery's mission to tell the country's history through the individuals who have shaped it. Gilbert Stuart's "Lansdowne" painting of George Washington is the grand introductory image to this exhibition. "America's Presidents" continues to acquire portraits-including paintings, sculpture, photographs, caricatures, video, and time-based media-of each succeeding president. Over the years the collections, which were initially restricted to paintings, prints, drawings, and engravings, have grown to over 23,000 items in all media, from daguerreotypes to digital. President James Monroe's 1823 annual message to Congress contained the Monroe Doctrine, which warned European powers not to interfere in the affairs of the Western Hemisphere. Understandably, the United States has always taken a particular interest in its closest neighbors - the nations of the Western Hemisphere. Equally understandably, expressions of this concern have not always been favorably regarded by other American nations. The Monroe Doctrine is the best known U.S. policy toward the Western Hemisphere. Buried in a routine annual message delivered to Congress by President James Monroe in December 1823, the doctrine warns European nations that the United States would not tolerate further colonization or puppet monarchs. The doctrine was conceived to meet major concerns of the moment, but it soon became a watchword of U.S. policy in the Western Hemisphere. The Monroe Doctrine was invoked in 1865 when the U.S. government exerted diplomatic and military pressure in support of the Mexican President Benito Juárez. This support enabled Juárez to lead a successful revolt against the Emperor Maximilian, who had been placed on the throne by the French government. Almost 40 years later, in 1904, European creditors of a number of Latin American countries threatened armed intervention to collect debts. President Theodore Roosevelt promptly proclaimed the right of the United States to exercise an "international police power" to curb such "chronic wrongdoing." As a result, U. S. Marines were sent into Santo Domingo in 1904, Nicaragua in 1911, and Haiti in 1915, ostensibly to keep the Europeans out. Other Latin American nations viewed these interventions with misgiving, and relations between the "great Colossus of the North" and its southern neighbors remained strained for many years. In 1962, the Monroe Doctrine was invoked symbolically when the Soviet Union began to build missile-launching sites in Cuba. With the support of the Organization of American States, President John F. Kennedy threw a naval and air quarantine around the island. After several tense days, the Soviet Union agreed to withdraw the missiles and dismantle the sites. Subsequently, the United States dismantled several of its obsolete air and missile bases in Turkey.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a complete translation of selected plays by three seminal Yiddish playwrights of the early 20th century. The plays in this volume highlight the range and depth of Yiddish theatre, from its roots in Jewish history and folklore to its groundbreaking modernist experiments. The three playwrightsâ"Pinski, Hirschbein, and Kobrinâ"explored many of the themes that continue to engage us todayâ"social justice, assimilation and identity, and the tension between tradition and modernity. Their plays provide a unique window into the vibrant Yiddish-speaking world of Eastern Europe, painting an unforgettable portrait of Jewish life and struggles during a time of profound change. Pinski's two pieces included in this collection demonstrate his mastery of both realistic and expressionistic forms, capturing the sweep of Jewish history and the intimate experiences of individuals with astonishing power. Hirschbein's shorter plays showcase his gift for poetic realism, while Kobrin's plays explore the complexities of assimilation and interfaith relationships. Through these works, we glimpse the vibrant culture of Yiddish theatre and its profundo influence on the development of modern drama. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
