Описание: The Fateful Lightning is the second volume of Kathleen Diffley's trilogy on Civil War magazine fiction. While her first book of the trilogy, Where My Heart Is Turning Ever, charted the role of magazine fiction from the Northeast in "grounding the rites of citizenship" following the end of the Civil War, The Fateful Lightning traces the sectional conflicts in a postwar nation and how region shaped the political agendas of these postwar editorials.

Diffley argues that the journals she examines present stories that give unpredictable results of sectional conflict and commemorate the Civil War differently from the northeastern publishing establishments. She weaves this argument through her analysis of four literary journals: Baltimore's Southern Magazine, Charlotte's The Land We Love, Chicago's Lakeside Monthly, and San Francisco's Overland Monthly. Diffley uses a method of literary analysis that looks at what is not only present in the text but also present throughout its historically informed context, gleaning cultural meanings from what the stories also filter out. Coupling this literary analysis with city studies, Diffley's innovative approach demonstrates how these editorials offer varying gauges of continued political unrest, rising social opportunity, and conflicting commemorative investments as Reconstruction began to unfold.

Описание: By January 1978, the Sex Pistols were the most talked about band on the planet. This book covers the Pistols 1978 tour of America from varying perspectives - with many people sharing their experiences for the first time. The book also endeavours to separate fact from the many fallacies that still surround those twelve days of mayhem when the Sex Pistols wended their way across an unsuspecting USA.

Описание:

"Hall's main argument rests on the notion that the greatest problem of the 21st century is living with and understanding differences."
--Times Higher Education

"In this long-awaited work, Stuart Hall...bracingly confronts the persistence of race--and its confounding liberal surrogates, ethnicity and nation...This is a profoundly humane work that...finds room for hope and change."
--Orlando Patterson

"Marked by struggle and sobriety, this important work makes a significant contribution to a vision of community and an ethics of solidarity."
--Homi K. Bhabha

"Essential reading for those seeking to understand Hall's tremendous impact on scholars, artists, and filmmakers on both sides of the Atlantic."
--Artforum

"Given the current political conditions, these lectures on race, ethnicity, and nation...may be even more timely today."
--Angela Y. Davis, University of California, Santa Cruz

In The Fateful Triangle--drawn from lectures delivered at Harvard University in 1994--one of the founding figures of cultural studies reflects on the divisive, often deadly consequences of the politics of identity. Migration was at the heart of Hall's diagnosis of the global predicaments taking shape around him. Explaining more than two decades ago why migrants are the target of new nationalisms, Hall's prescient vision helps us to understand today's crisis of liberal democracy. As he challenges us to find sustainable ways of living with difference, Hall gives us the concept of diaspora as a metaphor, redefining nation, race, and identity in the twenty-first century.

Описание: More than fifty years after publication of Oscar Handlin's pioneering work, Boston's Immigrants, this book takes a fresh look at the city's most recent arrivals. Although Massachusetts ranks high in the United States in immigrant arrivals, it has been little studied in the scholarship of either recent migration or ethnic enterprise. This book seeks to redress that oversight. Using an ethnographic, comparative approach, New Migrants in the Marketplace: Boston's Ethnic Entrepreneurs examines the economic culture and small business activity of a range of new migrant groups in the Greater Boston Area, including Jews from the former Soviet Union, British West Indians, Greeks, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Khmers, and Haitians. Contributors are Mehdi Bozorgmehr, Claudia Der-Martirosian, Marilyn Halter, Violet Johnson, Peggy Levitt, Ivan Light, Caesar Mavratsas, Georges Sabagh, and Nancy Smith-Hefner. The book includes a photo essay by Steven J. Gold.

Описание: Offers the first book-length study of a poet who, though still frequently anthologised, has fallen into some obscurity. Yet Sydney Clouts (1926-1981) was acknowledged by many during his lifetime as the strongest poet of his generation, albeit a difficult and elusive one.
