This chapter explains reconstruction and redemption after the Civil War. Bishop Benjamin Tanner was convinced that Congressional Reconstruction heralded the beginning of a New World. Reconstruction brought the abolition of slavery and the restoring of their family life on a more permanent basis. Despite the gains of Congressional Reconstruction for black families, the Civil War was a lingering catastrophe for South Carolina's children.Less

This book explores the integration of children born of war (CBOW) into post-conflict societies by investigating children fathered by foreign soldiers in several conflicts spanning much of the 20th and 21st centuries: the Second World War, the Vietnam War, the Bosnian War, the sub-Saharan African conflicts around the Rwandan Genocide and the LRA conflict and late 20th century peacekeeping operations. Using these case studies as starting points, the volume explores the challenges faced by the children themselves and their mothers within their post-conflict receptor communities by looking at the development of experience over time and across different geographical regions. It contextualises historically the conflict and post-conflict policies towards children born of war and their families and discusses the consequences of such policies. In particular, it analyses comparatively childhood adversities and psychosocial challenges as well as changes to the legal and political environments while being mindful of giving the CBOW themselves a voice through participatory research methods. The book is based on extensive archival research including archival research in Germany, France, the United Kingdom, the United States Canada and the Netherlands as well as oral history research among CBOW in the UK, US, Germany and Uganda. Its insights will be of value not only for academic scholars in history, political and social science, development studies and psychology, but also for NGO practitioners, policy makers and those engaged in advocacy.Less

After the Holocaust, is it really possible to talk about “German suffering?” This chapter uses the author’s family history as a site for examining this question and exploring the tension between German memories of wartime trauma and the popular narrative of “German suffering” that neglects the moral distinction between perpetrator and victim. It begins with a personal account of the World Trade Center bombing and then refers back to the author’s inherited memories of the Allied bombing of Hanover. It contrasts the Allied bombing and destruction of his mother’s family home with the simultaneous annihilation of the Jewish community in Hanover and the experience of local German-Jewish families. The author suggests that the focus on German suffering has created an environment in which memories of wartime traumas are inherently politicized, a dynamic that has come to shape talk of German children of war.Less

Chapter 6 reads Le Ly Hayslip’s paired autobiographies, When Heaven and Earth Changed Places and Child of War, Woman of Peace as major acts of reframing the war. In these works, the refugee claims center stage. The chapter considers Hayslip’s direct address to the wounded GI and the humanitarian partnership she offers as a critical rehabilitation of the friendly. Hayslip’s efforts are read in relation to the contexts of Thich Nhat Hanh’s Buddhist philosophy of peace and Maxine Hong Kingston’s writing workshops for veterans. This chapter situates Hayslip’s politics within a spiritual and literary tradition that exposes American violence as it caters to American desires for healing.Less
