Fighting for the Union Label: The Women`s Garment Industry and the Ilgwu in Pennsylvania

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: It is no coincidence that the garment industry gained a foothold in Pennsylvania?s hard-coal region as mines were closing or reducing operations. `Runaway` factories, especially ones from Manhattan, set up shop in mining towns where labor was plentiful and unions scarce. By the 1930s garment factories employed thousands of wives and daughters of unemployed or underemployed coal miners in the Wyoming Valley but organizing workers would prove difficult for the International Ladies? Garment Workers? Union (ILGWU). Fighting for the Union Label tells the story of how workers in the Wyoming Valley, led by Min Lurye Matheson and her husband, Bill, banded together and built one of the largest and most activist movements of garment workers in the ILGWU?s vast network. Workers? education, political activism, a health care center, and a widely recognized chorus were among the union?s trademarks. Despite the union?s influence, however, the apparel industry… [detailed...]

Fighting the Anti-Sicilians: Combating 2 c3, the Closed, Bb5 lines, the Morra Gambit and other tricky ideas

2007 y.
Publisher: Everyman Chess
Description: The Sicilian Defence is by far Black’s most popular answer to 1 e4 at all levels of chess. The reason is easy to understand: from the very first move Black unbalances the position and can play for a win without needing to take unjustified risks. This is particularly the case with the Open Sicilians, where Black can take comfort in the fact that his superior pawn structure ensures control of the centre and excellent long term chances. Faced this with type of problem, along with the fact that many Open Sicilians carry with them a massive build-up of opening theory, it’s unsurprising that many White players prefer to avoid the Open Sicilian altogether, preferring one of the many ‘Anti-Sicilians’ lines on offer.

Harriet Lamb
Fighting the Banana War and Other Fairtrade Battles

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: It started very small and full of hope. But its daring campaigns have placed Fairtrade goods at the heart of the supermarket shelves. From bananas and coffee beans to cotton and chocolate, Fairtrade has grown to become an important global movement that has revolutionized the way we shop. As Harriet Lamb, director of the Fairtrade Foundation, explains in this fascinating story, Fairtrade is about a better deal for workers and famers in the developing world. It`s about making sure the food on our plates and shirts on our backs don`t rob people in other countries of the means to feed or clothe themselves. She explores the journey, through an often unjust system, that Fairtrade items make from farm to consumer, and she uncovers the shocking cost of our demand for cheaper food. [detailed...]

Edward M. Graham
Fighting the Wrong Enemy : Antiglobal Activists and Multinational Enterprises

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Antiglobalist forces have been gaining ever greater momentum in recent years in their efforts to reverse what they view as the negative effects of an integrating global economy, with the 1999 WTO meeting in Seattle serving as an example. Their influencewas felt earlier when efforts to create a Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI) ended in failure in 1998 after France left the bargaining table at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, effectively killing the initiative. In this study, through an evaluation of the MAI itself and the issues raised by its opponents, Edward M. Graham takes a fresh look at the growing backlash against globalization. He first explores whether the MAI negotiations failed due to political maneuvering by antiglobalist nongovernmental organizations (supported by US organized labor) or because of irreconcilable differences among the negotiating parties over the substance of the issue of foreign direct investment. He then objectively… [detailed...]

As he grows older, the people call upon him to find a king for Israel, and the Lord directs him to Saul, whom he anoints as king. As Saul disobeys the Lord, Samuel is redirected to anoint a young David to be the new King of Israel. David serves the lord faithfully, though his reign over Israel is not without trouble or circumstance, as he must deal with enemies both outside and insides his borders… not to mention his greatest battle himself.

Figural Realism: Studies in the Mimesis Effect

Description: `Hayden White… is the most prominent American scholar to unite historiography and literary criticism into a broader reflection on narrative and cultural understanding.` -- The Johns Hopkins Guide to Literary Theory and Criticism In his earlier books such as Tropics of Discourse and The Content of the Form, Hayden White focused on the conventions of historical writing and on the ordering of historical consciousness. In Figural Realism, White collects eight interrelated essays primarily concerned with the treatment of history in recent literary critical discourse. ``History` is not only an object we can study,` writes White, `it is also and even primarily a certain kind of relationship to `the past` mediated by a distinctive kind of written discourse. It is because historical discourse is actualized in its culturally significant form as a specific kind of writing that we may consider the relevance of literary theory to both the theory and the practice of historiography.` [detailed...]

Joseph Rosa
Figuration in Contemporary Design

2008 y.
Publisher: Art Institute of Chicago
Description: This handsome book explores the recent use of figurative characteristics in the design arts. Through digital literacy and enhanced fabrication techniques, this avant-garde movement has reintroduced hybrids of methods and ideologies that were once considered too ornamental in character or too handcrafted for the 20th-century minimalist design lexicon. Both large urban-scale architecture and the small domestic realm of design are employing this avant-garde vocabulary formally and figuratively in the terms of shapes and surfaces that evoke trees, tornadoes, parasols, photography, death, illness, food, music, and sensuality. The volume includes recent work by a wide array of international architects, designers, and studios, including Herzog &, de Meuron, Zaha Hadid, Jurgen Mayer H., UNStudio, and many others, and features full-page spreads devoted to illustrations of everything from tattooed and perforated surfaces to woven and sculptural forms - a rich aesthetic charting new… [detailed...]

Professor Barbara Straumann
Figurations of Exile in Hitchcock and Nabokov

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This comparative study of Alfred Hitchcock and Vladimir Nabokov opens up their work to issues of exile and migration. Questions about the contingencies of history and the rupture of the real are rarely brought to bear on these self-reflexive texts. Barbara Straumann responds to this critical gap by reading real-life exile as the `absent cause` of Hitchcock and Nabokov`s brilliant virtuosity. Her `cross-mapping` of the two seemingly disparate authors takes as its point of departure the conditions of exile in which they found themselves and shows how the relentless playfulness of their language and irony creates a new home in the world of signs.Straumann closely reads Speak, Memory, Lolita, The Real Life of Sebastian Knight, Suspicion, North by Northwest, and Shadow of a Doubt, exploring the connections between language, imagination, and exile. The book will appeal to those interested in Nabokov, Hitchcock, Freud, Lacan, cultural theory, media, and exile. [detailed...]

Figures in a Dance: The Theater of Yeats and Soyinka

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe correlation between the sensibility and the environment of an artist has been pivotal to critical debate for centuries and will continue to be so as long as the creative impulse and its expression remains an inexorable fact of life. This book makes its own peculiar contribution to the debate in the context of a comparative study of the theater of W.B. Yeats and Wole Soyinka, prominent artists from quite different environments and time frames, with reference to their major plays. It argues that when faced with particularized national experiences, both artists adopted similar as well as contrasting approaches to expressing their reaction. Both turned to theater, adjudged the most revolutionary form of communication known because of its psychical as well as visual audience affective properties, to express an ontological and universal vision of the individual, who is projected as a tragic figure in the dance of life. Yeats and Soyinka immerse themselves in the… [detailed...]
