History may remember the American artists, writers, and musicians of the Left Bank best, but the reality is that there were many more American businessmen, socialites, manufacturers' representatives, and lawyers living on the other side of the River Seine. Nancy L. Green recounts the experiences of a long-forgotten part of the American expatriate population in The Other Americans in Paris. She introduces us for the first time to the Right Bank American transplants. There were newly minted American countesses married to foreigners with impressive titles, American women married to American businessmen, and many discharged American soldiers who had settled in France after World War I with their French wives. This book details the politics of citizenship, work, and business, and the wealth (and poverty) among the Americans who staked their claim to the City of Light.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49725121757457,"sku":"CIN0226306887G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53015768170769,"sku":"CIN0226306887VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0226306887.jpg?v=1751037643"},{"product_id":"citizenship-and-those-who-leave-book-nancy-l-green-9780252074295","title":"Citizenship and Those Who Leave","description":"Exit, like entry, has helped define citizenship over the last two centuries, yet little attention has been given to the politics of emigration. How have countries impeded or facilitated people leaving?  How have they perceived and regulated those who leave?  What relations do they seek to maintain with their citizens abroad and why? Citizenship and Those Who Leave reverses the immigration perspective to examine how nations define themselves not just through entry but through exit as well.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49940027867409,"sku":"CIN0252074297G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50346301882641,"sku":"CIN0252074297VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0252074297.jpg?v=1767348782"},{"product_id":"jewish-workers-in-the-modern-diaspora-book-nancy-l-green-9780520201286","title":"Jewish Workers in the Modern Diaspora","description":"This is a collection of works that compare the experiences of the Jewish worker in Berlin, Paris, London, New York, Amsterdam and Buenos Aires. Using a variety of source material, the book aims to reveal the many-faceted experiences of Jewish workers who emigrated from Eastern Europe to the West in the early decades of the 20th century. Through the workers themselves, their observers and their critics, the book attempts to understand the lives of men and women in a variety of circumstances - at home, in the sweatshop, in school, and on the picket line. It asks to what extent were these Jewish workers alike? How did local conditions shape their experiences? In addressing these questions it provides a comparative perspective on the Jewish working class.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50356400783633,"sku":"CIN0520201280G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51022679081233,"sku":"GOR014165671","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53143855726865,"sku":"GOR014773010","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0520201280.jpg?v=1751391741"},{"product_id":"ready-to-wear-and-ready-to-work-book-nancy-l-green-9780822318743","title":"Ready-to-Wear and Ready-to-Work","description":"Nancy L. Green offers a critical and lively look at New York’s Seventh Avenue and the Parisian Sentier in this first comparative study of the two historical centers of the women’s garment industry. Torn between mass production and \"art,\" this industry is one of the few manufactauring sectors left in the service-centered cities of today. Ready-to-Wear and Ready-to-Work tells the story of urban growth, the politics of labor, and the relationships among the many immigrant groups who have come to work the sewing machines over the last century. Green focuses on issues of fashion and fabrication as they involve both the production and consumption of clothing. Traditionally, much of the urban garment industry has been organized around small workshops and flexible homework, and Green emphasizes the effect this labor organization had on the men and mostly women who have sewn the garments. Whether considering the immigrant Jews, Italians, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, and Chinese in New York or the Chinese-Cambodians, Turks, Armenians, and Russian, Polish, and Tunisian Jews in Paris, she outlines similarities of social experience in the shops and the unions, while allowing the voices of the workers, in all their diversity to be heard.  A provocative examination of gender and ethnicity, historical conflict and consensus, and notions of class and cultural difference, Ready-to-Wear and Ready-to-Work breaks new ground in the methodology of comparative history.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50469517689105,"sku":"CIN0822318741G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008562299153,"sku":"NIN9780822318743","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0822318741.jpg?v=1761389500"},{"product_id":"other-americans-in-paris-book-nancy-l-green-9780226324463","title":"The Other Americans in Paris","description":"While Gertrude Stein hosted the literati of the Left Bank, Mrs. Bates-Batcheller, an American socialite and concert singer in Paris, held sumptuous receptions for the Daughters of the American Revolution in her suburban villa.

Be they newly minted American countesses married to foreigners with impressive titles or American soldiers who had settled in France after World War I with their French wives, they provide a new view of the notion of expatriates. Nancy L. Green thus introduces us for the first time to a long-forgotten part of the American overseas population-predecessors to today's expats-while exploring the politics of citizenship and the business relationships, love lives, and wealth (and poverty for some) of Americans who staked their claim to the City of Light. The Other Americans in Paris shows that elite migration is a part of migration tout court and that debates over Americanization have deep roots in the twentieth century.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50469723144465,"sku":"CIN022632446XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51415569924369,"sku":"CIN022632446XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/022632446X.jpg?v=1750843586"},{"product_id":"century-of-transnationalism-book-nancy-l-green-9780252081903","title":"A Century of Transnationalism","description":"This collection of articles by sociologically minded historians and historically minded sociologists highlights both the long-term persistence and the continuing instability of home country connections. Encompassing societies of origin and destination from around the world, A Century of Transnationalism shows that while population movements across states recurrently produce homeland ties, those connections have varied across contexts and from one historical period to another, changing in unpredictable ways. Any number of factors shape the linkages between home and destination, including conditions in the society of immigration, policies of the state of emigration, and geopolitics worldwide.
