The story of the birth of the worlds first independent black republic has since held an iconic fascination for a diverse array of writers, artists, and intellectuals throughout the Atlantic diaspora. Examining twentieth-century responses to the Haitian Revolution, Philip Kaisary offers a profound new reading of the representation of the Revolution by radicals and conservatives alike in primary texts that span English, French, and Spanish languages and that include poetry, drama, history, biography, fiction, and opera.In a complementary focus on canonical works by Aime Cesaire, C. L. R. James, Edouard Glissant, and Alejo Carpentier in addition to the work of Rene Depestre, Langston Hughes, and Madison Smartt Bell, Kaisary argues that the Haitian Revolution generated an enduring cultural and ideological inheritance. He addresses critical understandings and fictional reinventions of the Revolution and thinks through how, and to what effect, authors of major diasporic texts have metamorphosed and appropriated this spectacular corner of black revolutionary history.", "author": "Philip Kaisary", "slug": "the-haitian-revolution-in-the-literary-imagination-22679-9780813935485-philip-kaisary", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9780813935485.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "22679", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/22679/the-haitian-revolution-in-the-literary-imagination-22679-9780813935485-philip-kaisary", "bisac_codes": [ "LIT004100", "LR" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9780813935461", "EISBN13": "9780813935485", "EISBN10": "0813935482" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010026584847" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000022678", "attributes": { "name": "The Republican Party in the Age of Roosevelt", "subtitle": "Sources of Anti-Government Conservatism in the United States", "description": "Elliot Rosen's Hoover, Roosevelt, and the Brains Trust focused on the transition from the Hoover administration to that of Roosevelt and the formulation of the early New Deal program. Roosevelt, the Great Depression, and the Economics of Recovery emphasized long-term and structural recovery programs as well as the 193738 recession. Rosens final book in the trilogy, The Republican Party in the Age of Roosevelt, situates distrust of the federal government and the consequent transformation of the party. Domestic and foreign policies introduced by the Roosevelt administration created division between the parties. The Hoover doctrine, which sought to restrict the reach of independent agencies at the federal level in order to restore business confidence and investment, intended to reverse the New Deal and to curb the growth of federal functions. In his new book, Elliot Rosen holds that economic thought regarding appropriate functions of the federal government has not changed since the Great Depression. The political debate is still being waged between advocates for direct intervention at the federal level and those for the Hoover ethic with its stress on individual responsibility. The question remains whether preservation of an unfettered marketplace and our liberties remain inseparable or whether enlarged governmental functions are required in an increasingly complex national and global environment. By offering a well-researched account of the antistatist and nationalist origins not only of the debate over legitimate federal functions but also of the modern Republican Party, this book affords insight into such contemporary political movements as the Tea Party.", "author": "Elliot A.

Recent accounts of \"the rise of American democracy\" between the Revolution and the Civil War applaud political parties for opening up public life to mass participation and making government responsive to the people. Yet this celebratory narrative tells only half of the story.By exploring American political practices during the early 1820s, a period of particular flux in the young republic, Peart argues that while parties could serve as vehicles for mass participation, they could also be employed to channel, control, and even curb it. Far from equating democracy with the party system, Americans freely experimented with alternative forms of political organization and resisted efforts to confine their public presence to the polling place.Era of Experimentation demonstrates the sheer variety of political practices that made up what subsequent scholars have labeled \"democracy\" in the early United States. Peart also highlights some overlooked consequences of the nationalization of competitive two-party politics during the antebellum period, particularly with regard to the closing of alternative avenues for popular participation.", "author": "Daniel Peart", "slug": "era-of-experimentation-22677-9780813935614-daniel-peart", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9780813935614.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "22677", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/22677/era-of-experimentation-22677-9780813935614-daniel-peart", "bisac_codes": [ "HIS036030", "HE" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9780813935607", "EISBN13": "9780813935614", "EISBN10": "081393561X" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010026584786" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000022676", "attributes": { "name": "From Theology to Theological Thinking", "subtitle": "", "description": "\"Christian philosophy\" is commonly regarded as an oxymoron, philosophy being thought incompatible with the assumptions and conclusions required by religious faith.

Stepping back from contemporary philosophical concerns, Lacostea leading figure in the philosophy of religionlooks at the relationship between philosophy and theology from the standpoint of the history of ideas. He notes in particular that theology and philosophy were not considered separate realms until the high Middle Ages, this distinction being a hallmark of the modern era that is coming to an end.

It consists of a circuit of eighty-eight temples around the perimeter of Shikoku, the smallest of Japan's four main islands. Every henro, or pilgrim, is said to follow in the footsteps of Kobo Daishi, the ninth-century ascetic who founded the Shingon sect of Buddhism. Over the course of two months, the author walked this 1,400-kilometer route (roughly 870 miles), visiting the sacred sites and performing their prescribed rituals.Although himself a gaijin, or foreigner, Sibley saw no other pilgrim on the trail who was not Japanese. Some of the people he met became not only close companions but also ardent teachers of the language and culture. These fellow pilgrims own stories add to the authors narrative in unexpected and powerful ways.

Reports regularly featured familial destruction, flawed economic relations, and the apocalyptic thinking of Protestant clergy.

The answer lies, Brown argues, in the way the bourgeois interior functions as a medium, a many-layered fabric across which different energies travel, be they psychological, political, or aesthetic. In this way, objects are not symbols but rather the materials out of which symbols are made--symbols that constitute the very soul of the bourgeois. In a wide-ranging analysis, moving from works by Daniel Defoe, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, and Henry James to those by Virginia Woolf, Ingmar Bergman, John Updike, and W. G. Sebald, Brown shows that what is at issue is less the economic basis of class than the bourgeoisies imagination of itself. The themes explored include the middle classs ever-increasing desire for more wealth, as well as Victorian womens identification with the domestic interior and the changes that took place when they began working outside the home.

This is just one example of how law in Virginia has been transformed over the past century, as it has across the South and throughout the nation.In Blue Laws and Black Codes, Peter Wallenstein shows that laws were often changed not through legislative action or constitutional amendment but by citizens taking cases to state and federal courtrooms. Due largely to court rulings, for example, stores in Virginia are no longer required by \"blue laws\" to close on Sundays. Particularly notable was the abolition of segregation laws, modified versions of southern states \"black codes\" dating back to the era of slavery and the first years after emancipation. Virginias long road to racial equality under the law included the efforts of black civil rights lawyers to end racial discrimination in the public schools, the 1960 Richmond sit-ins, a case against segregated courtrooms, and a court challenge to a law that could imprison or exile an interracial couple for their marriage.While emphasizing a single state, Blue Laws and Black Codes is framed in regional and national contexts.

These institutions ranged from the poorly lit rooms of backstreet wine sellers to the elaborate marble halls frequented by society's most privileged members. Urban drinking rooms provided more than food, drink, and lodging for their guests. They also conferred upon their visitors a sense of social identity commensurate with their status. Like all German cities, Augsburg during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries had a history shaped by the political events attending the Reformation, the post-Reformation, and the Thirty Years' War; its social and political character was also reflected and supported by its public and private drinking rooms.In Bacchus and Civic Order: The Culture of Drink in Early Modern Germany, Ann Tlusty examines the social and cultural functions served by drinking and tavern life in Germany between 1500 and 1700, and challenges existing theories about urban identity, sociability, and power. Through her reconstruction of the social history of Augsburg, from beggars to council members, Tlusty also sheds light on such diverse topics as social ritual, gender and household relations, medical practice, and the concerns of civic leaders with public health and poverty. Drunkenness, dueling, and other forms of tavern comportment that may appear \"disorderly\" to us today turn out to be the inevitable, even desirable result of a society functioning according to its own rules.", "author": "B.

He evokes the theatrical entertainments he enjoyed, the varied social scene in which the family mixed, and the piecemeal nature of his education.

Beginning when Thomas Jefferson enlisted a Philadelphia editor to carry out his battle with Alexander Hamilton for the soul of the new republic (and got caught trying to cover it up), the centrality of newspapers in political life gained momentum after Jefferson's victory in 1800, which was widely credited to a superior network of papers.

Evelyn Waugh was a declared conservative and fascist sympathizer; George Orwell was a dedicated socialist; Graham Greene wavered between his bourgeois instincts and his liberal left-wing sympathies; and Rebecca West maintained strong feminist and liberationist convictions.Bernard Schweizer explores both the intentional political rhetoric and the more oblique, almost unconscious subtexts of Waugh, Orwell, Greene, and West in his groundbreaking study of travel writing's political dimension. Radicals on the Road demonstrates how historically and culturally conditioned forms of anxiety were compounded by the psychological dynamics of the uncanny, and how, in order to dispel such anxieties and to demarcate their ideological terrains, 1930s travelers resorted to dualistic discourses.Yet any seemingly fixed dualism, particularly the opposition between the political left and the right, the dichotomy between home and abroad, or the rift between utopia and dystopia, was undermined by the rise of totalitarianism and by an increasing sense of global crisiswhich was soon followed by political disillusionment. Therefore, argues Schweizer, traveling during the 1930s was more than just a means to engage the burning political questions of the day: traveling, and in turn travel writing, also registered the travelers' growing sense of futility and powerlessness in an especially turbulent world.", "author": "Bernard Schweizer", "slug": "radicals-on-the-road-22660-9780813921969-bernard-schweizer", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9780813921969.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "22660", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/22660/radicals-on-the-road-22660-9780813921969-bernard-schweizer", "bisac_codes": [ "LIT004120", "LE" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9780813920696", "EISBN13": "9780813921969", "EISBN10": "0813921961" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010026584306" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000022661", "attributes": { "name": "The Origins of African American Literature, 1680-1865", "subtitle": "", "description": "From the earliest texts of the colonial period to works contemporary with Emancipation, African American literature has been a dialogue across color lines, and a medium through which black writers have been able to exert considerable authority on both sides of that racial demarcation.Dickson D.
