On the Las Vegas Strip, blockbuster casinos burst out of the desert, billboards promise "hot babes," actual hot babes proffer complimentary drinks, and a million happy slot machines ring day and night. It’s loud and excessive, but, as the Project on Vegas demonstrates, the Strip is not a world apart. Combining written critique with more than one hundred photographs by Karen Klugman, Strip Cultures examines the politics of food and water, art and spectacle, entertainment and branding, body and sensory experience. In confronting the ordinary on America’s most famous four-mile stretch of pavement, the authors reveal how the Strip concentrates and magnifies the basic truths and practices of American culture where consumerism is the stuff of life, digital surveillance annuls the right to privacy, and nature—all but destroyed—is refashioned as an element of decor.

Every June the city of Lowell, Massachusetts, celebrates Franco-American Day, raising the Franco-American flag and hosting events designed to commemorate French culture in the Americas. Though there are twenty million French speakers and people of French or francophone descent in North America, making them the fifth-largest ethnic group in the United States, their cultural legacy has remained nearly invisible. Events like Franco-American Day, however, attest to French ethnic permanence on the American topography.
In Franco-America in the Making, Jonathan K. Gosnell examines the manifestation and persistence of hybrid Franco-American literary, musical, culinary, and media cultures in North America, especially New England and southern Louisiana. To shed light on the French cultural legacy in North America long after the formal end of the French empire in the mid-eighteenth century, Gosnell seeks out hidden French or “Franco” identities and sites of memory in the United States and Canada that quietly proclaim an intercontinental French presence, examining institutions of higher learning, literature, folklore, newspapers, women’s organizations, and churches. This study situates Franco-American cultures within the new and evolving field of postcolonial Francophone studies by exploring the story of the peoples and ideas contributing to the evolution and articulation of a Franco-American cultural identity in the New World. Gosnell asks what it means to be French, not simply in America but of America.

Описание: Bruce Fleury's The Negro Project: Margaret Sanger's Diabolical, Duplicitous, Dangerous, Disastrous, and Deadly Plan for Black America is an in-depth and engrossing cautionary tale written by the author to serve as a warning to all Americans not to forget their history, and perform their due diligence in order to be able to see the not-so-obvious objectives behind the deeds of others. This work surrounds the author's realization of the harm Margaret Sanger and others like her brought upon the black community in the name of "women's health" through her organization, Planned Parenthood.
He sees the black population as being in mortal danger of extinction if Americans don't wake up and fight the battle against abortion. Mr. Fleury raises some very compelling points in his expos and has provided a great amount of research to support his findings. The reader will most certainly learn a historical lesson that was never taught in school.

Описание: With a collection of encouraging testimonies and prayers, Sherry Higdon explores the power of prayer and tells the story of how one simple prayer for the United States of America has grown into a great ministry in which believers from across the country participate in prayer and fasting for the nation and its president. Sherry shares what God told her the day Mr. Trump made that fateful ride down the escalator to announce he was running for president. She describes how that message from The Lord is what has enabled her to pen and post a new prayer everyday since starting in 2015. Sherry invites readers to open their hearts and minds to the amazing gift of prayer and how they can affect change and contribute to this positive movement of faith. The book's subject matter covers an extremely important and timely topic, especially with the discord that is happening all over the country. The author provides beneficial and valuable solutions for this discord and succeeds in her goal to develop powerful prayers and to offer explanations of the purpose behind these prayers. The author's writing is eloquent and expressive, sharing both her story and her heart for prayer and this nation with the readers through a book that is well-organized and strongly developed. Sherry is married to husband of thirty years, Dean Higdon and contributes her ability to sustain and maintain this ministry to his support and constant encouragement. She remains amazed to this day at how at a moment when writing a book seemed to be an absurd idea God clearly confirmed that this was, in fact, what He wanted her to do www.TheAmericaProject.us
