American Labor Unions in the Electoral Arena (People, Passions, and Power)

Ч y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Are contemporary U.S. labor unions irrelevant, or in fact a changing force to be reckoned with as they grow into a new economy in a globalized America? Is the current political power exercised by U.S. labor unions more akin to the social movements of thesixties or the interest politics of the nineties? After winning the presidency of the AFL-CIO in 1995, John Sweeney and his colleagues have taken strides to make labor more important in the United States economically and politically, despite reduced membership. Here, four authors come together to survey the status of labor unions past, present, and future, nationally as well as through the microcosm of the labor situation in Ohio, one of the largest, most representative, and most electorally significant states in the country. The authors focus on union membership, leadership, political attitudes, strategies, and grassroots mobilization to paint a picture of union revitalization in a context of economic and social change.

American Labor and the Cold War: Grassroots Politics and Postwar Political Culture

2004 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Book Description`This book is one of the most outstanding of recent years in all the history of U.S. labor, and nearly alone in tackling the complexities at the cross-section of Left politics and unionism.` ??Paul Buhle, senior lecturer in American Civilization, Brown University, and co-editor of The Encyclopedia of the American Left The American labor movement seemed poised on the threshold of unparalleled success at the beginning of the post-World War II era. Fourteen million strong in 1946, unions represented thirty five percent of non-agricultural workers. Why then did the gains made between the 1930s and the end of the war produce so few results by the 1960s? This collection addresses the history of labor in the postwar years by exploring the impact of the global contest between the United States and the Soviet Union on American workers and labor unions. The essays focus on the actual behavior of Americans in their diverse workplaces and communities during theЕ [detailed...]

American Labor in the Era of World War II

Publisher: Ч
Description: The 1940s were a pivotal decade in the history of the American labor movement. Large migrations significantly changed the composition of the industrial work force while, simultaneously, the organized labor movement sought to consolidate its base. These essays examine topics including aspects of the institutional development of the labor movement at the national level, while west coast case studies explore the conflicts generated at the workplace and in communities by the increased presence of women and minority workers. American labor historians and labor studies specialists will find this collection fills a major void in the research on American labor. [detailed...]

American Lazarus: Religion and the Rise of African-American and Native American Literatures

2003 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Book DescriptionThe 1780s and 1790s were a critical era for communities of color in the new United States of America. Even Thomas Jefferson observed that in the aftermath of the American Revolution, ``the spirit of the master is abating, that of the slave rising from the dust.`` This book explores the means by which the very first Black and Indian authors rose up to transform their communities and the course of American literary history. It argues that the origins of modern African-American and American Indian literatures emerged at the revolutionary crossroads of religion and racial formation as early Black and Indian authors reinvented American evangelicalism and created new postslavery communities, new categories of racial identification, and new literary traditions. While shedding fresh light on the pioneering figures of African-American and Native American cultural history--including Samson Occom, Prince Hall, Richard Allen, Absalom Jones, and John Marrant--this work alsoЕ [detailed...]

Publisher: Ч
Description: It was an explosion that reverberated across the countryЧand into the very heart of early-twentieth-century America. On the morning of October 1, 1910, the walls of the Los Angeles Times Building buckled as a thunderous detonation sent men, machinery, and mortar rocketing into the night air. When at last the wreckage had been sifted and the hospital triage units consulted, twenty-one people were declared dead and dozens more injured. But as it turned out, this was just a prelude to the devastation that was to come.In American Lightning, acclaimed author Howard Blum masterfully evokes the incredible circumstances that led to the original Уcrime of the centuryФЧand an aftermath more dramatic than even the crime itself. With smoke still wafting up from the charred ruins, the cityТs mayor reacts with undisguised excitement when he learns of the arrival, only that morning, of AmericaТs greatest detective, William J.

American Literature Before 1880. (Longman Literature in English Series)

Publisher: Ч
Description: Book Description American Literature Before 1880 attempts to place its subject in the broadest possible international perspective. It begins with Homer looking westward, and ends with Henry James crossing the Atlantic eastwards. In between, the book examines the projection of images of the East onto an as-yet unrecognised West, the cultural consequences of Viking, Colombian, and then English migration to America, the growth and independence of the British American colonies, the key writers of the new Republic, and the development of the culture of the United States before and after the Civil War. It is intended both as an introduction for undergraduates to the richness and variety of American Literature, and as a contribution to the debate about its distinctive nature. The book therefore begins with a lengthy survey of earlier histories of American Literature. [detailed...]

American Masala: 125 New Classics from My Home Kitchen

2007 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: In Indian Home Cooking, Suvir Saran introduced our taste buds, and our kitchens, to the wonders of cumin, coriander, cardamom, and curry leaves. American Masala takes the next step, marrying Indian flavors with American favorites to create dishes that are exotic, yet familiar, full of complex tastes, yet easy enough for weeknight suppers. Masala-the Hindi word for a blend of spices-is at the heart of Indian cooking. Whether toasted, ground, fried, infused in oil, or fresh, spices are used to layer flavors in simple but profound ways. Bring the same techniques to American classics such as meatloaf, macaroni and cheese, or roasted turkey, and the result is something truly special. Masala also refers to the excitement and vibrancy that come from a house full of friends and family. Simple recipes prepared with staples found in every supermarket mean less time laboring in the kitchen and more time spent enjoying the spice of life. [detailed...]

Description: The four artists featured in American Masters of the Mississippi Gulf Coast: George Ohr, Dusti Bonge, Walter Anderson, Richmond Barthe are linked as pioneers of modernism in the South and are further bonded by their connections to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. In this catalog to one of the American Masters Series exhibits funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, art historian Patti Carr Black examines the work of these four individuals, placing them in the contexts of twentieth-century American art and southern culture.George E. Ohr (1857?1918), from Biloxi, created highly inventive ceramics that were on the leading edge of the American modern pottery movement. Using local clays, rudimentary wood-burning kilns, and the formulae for old-world lead glazes, Ohr created and exhibited thousands of pieces.Dusti Bonge (1903?1993), also from Biloxi, is widely considered the first modernist painter in Mississippi. Her paintings of the city, in oil and watercolor, are entrenched firmly inЕ [detailed...]

American Military Commitments in Europe: Power, Perceptions and Neo-classical Realism

2008 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Four motives contend for the title of maindeterminant of international behavior: power,security, economic gains, and ideals. These four canbest be tested by comparing five American militarycommitments in Europe: World War I, World War II, theestablishment of NATO at the beginning of the ColdWar, the perpetuation of NATO after the end of theCold War, and the campaigns in the Bosnia &, Kosovo. The research finds that power was the predominantfactor. As American relative power grew, the UnitedStates sought to increase control over Europeanaffairs by expanding its political interests in thecontinent. This, however, did not happen in a uniformmanner. States do not expand when their relativenational power increases, but rather when decisionmakers perceive a relative increase in state power.The theory most useful in explaining this isneoclassical realism.

It identifies and examines great works in advertising, information design, identity, magazine design, print, dimensional design, and posters that by mid-century had defined American graphic design.

The heart of the book brings together the key works of mid-century Modernism, presenting them chronologically from the 1930s to the 1950s.

American Monroe: The Making of a Body Politic

1995 y.
Publisher: University of California Press
Description: Marilyn Monroe is alive and well in the American imagination. She is the stuff of memory, living as icon, mysterious suicide, transgressive goddess--a character that tells the story of America itself. American Monroe explores the ways we remember Marilyn--from playing cards, books, and fan clubs, to female impersonators, political conspiracies, and high art, her ubiquitous presence informs our cultural common ground. Finding in Marilyn a `representative character` of our time, Baty explores some of the cultural lives she has been made to lead. We follow `the mediatrix` from the biographies by Mailer and Steinem, to the shadowy Kennedy connection, to the coroner Noguchi`s obsession with the body of the dead star. Representations of Marilyn, Baty shows, displace neat categories of high and low culture, of public and private, male and female. She becomes a surface that mirrors everything it touches, a site upon which to explore the character of the postmodern condition. AmericanЕ [detailed...]
