A new look at a beloved classic film that explores the philosophical dynamics of Casablanca Celebrating its eightieth anniversary this year, Casablanca remains one of the world’s most enduringly favorite movies. It won three Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay. It is still commonly quoted: “We’ll always have Paris” and “Here’s looking at you, kid” And who can forget, “You must remember this…a kiss is just a kiss.” Yet no one expected much to come of this little film, certainly not its blockbuster stars or even the studio producing it. So how did this hastily cranked-out 1940s film, despite its many limitations, become one of the greatest films ever made? How is it that year after year, decade after decade, it continues to appear in the lists of the greatest movies ever produced? And why do audiences still weep when Rick and Ilsa part? The answer, according to Casablanca’s Conscience, is to paraphrase Rick, “It’s true.” Much has already been written about the film and the career-defining performances of Bogart and Bergman. Casablanca is an epic tale of love, betrayal, and sacrifice set against the backdrop of World War II. Yet decades later, it continues to capture the imagination of filmgoers. In Casablanca’s Conscience, author Robert Weldon Whalen explains why it still resonates so deeply. Applying a new lens to an old classic, Whalen focuses on the film’s timeless themes—Exile, Purgatory, Irony, Love, Resistance, and Memory. He then engages the fictional characters—Rick, Ilsa, and the others—against the philosophical and theological discourse of their real contemporaries, Hannah Arendt, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Albert Camus. The relationships between fictional and historical persons illuminate both the film’s era as well as perennial human concerns. Both the film and the work of the philosophers explore dimensions of the human experience, which, while extreme, are familiar to everyone. It’s the themes that resonate with the viewer, that have sustained it as an evergreen classic all these years.
Was Princess Diana murdered? Yes, she was. That part is easily seen—even the means are known. She was gravely injured in a deliberate car wreck that immediately killed two other people, and she was then allowed to slowly bleed to death from internal injuries. But why? And to what end? She stirs up our passions even today—but she will never die. Not really. She has joined the Pantheon. Diana began life as we all do—but then, she revealed herself in her goddess form, and the world responded. And we still respond, even though she has returned to the place where there is no time, and even though we no longer see her moving amongst us. She was a bridge figure, both human and divine. We have met such figures before, through all the ages—gods and goddesses, saints and saviors—and their fate has always been the same. They have always been killed. But by whom? And to what purpose? Royal Vengeance answers all these questions and more.

Miles recovered from the gunshot wounds he suffered in his ill-fated to escape his Miles of Stolen Sales crimes. Recovery for Miles was an escape from a high-security hospital that included Jess, a victim turned girlfriend. The heat on Miles was so great he decided to leave the country and kidnaped a pilot with a plane. His style of a fundraiser for the trip came as a crime spree that nets millions during a Gay Pride Day celebration in Provincetown on Cape Cod. Leaving his life sentence and the lives of broken people behind they decided to settle in South America. A stay in Peru for an ayahuasca experience was abruptly ended by an altercation between Miles and a cartel owner. That escape landed them in Uruguay, where Miles's bar-hopping habits found him a new partner in crime who accepted Miles's idea of a new product. As Miles describes making the ayahuasca vine into a pill that offers women what they are looking for in a "Woman Only" pill, his friend decides to fund the development. As Miles describes the properties and designs the pill's purposes, he is murdered. Jess and his son are kidnapped by the financier's cartel. In a love-driven attempt to free her, a family friend burns down the cartel hacienda forcing him, Jess, and the boy to flee the country. As they make their way to Miles's old hideout in New York State, Jess breaks down telling the group what Miles did to her and others in a past lifetime. Turns out fire and weather have destroyed the hideout buildings, except his old beat-up pickup, where his black book was found. His daughter and first victim aid the FBI in tracking down his victims still alive to offer them heroin addiction detox/rehab recovery. With Miles's relatives in prison, his son inherits a small fortune which will be used to build a center to help the abused and addicted. Its reputation of healing the wounded and assisting people to get clean and sober becomes Miles of Recovery.
Native Students at Work tells the stories of Native people from around the American Southwest who participated in labor programs at Sherman Institute, a federal Indian boarding school in Riverside, California. The school placed young Native men and women in and around Los Angeles as domestic workers, farmhands, and factory laborers. For the first time, historian Kevin Whalen reveals the challenges these students faced as they left their homes for boarding schools and then endured an "outing program" that aimed to strip them of their identities and cultures by sending them to live and work among non-Native people. Tracing their journeys, Whalen shows how male students faced low pay and grueling conditions on industrial farms near the edge of the city, yet still made more money than they could near their reservations. Similarly, many young women serving as domestic workers in Los Angeles made the best of their situations by tapping into the city's indigenous social networks and even enrolling in its public schools. As Whalen reveals, despite cruel working conditions, Native people used the outing program to their advantage whenever they could, forming urban indigenous communities and sharing money and knowledge gained in the city with those back home.
A mostly overlooked chapter in Native American and labor histories, Native Students at Work deepens our understanding of the boarding school experience and sheds further light on Native American participation in the workforce.
