Katrin Himmler
The Himmler Brothers: A German Family History

2007 y.
Publisher: Pan Books
Description: When Katrin Himmler, the great-niece of Heinrich Himmler, the head or Hitler`s SS and chief perpetrator of the Holocaust, was fifteen, one of her schoolmates asked during a history lesson if she was related to the Himmler. `Yes,` she stammered, at which there was a deathly hush in the classroom and the teacher, embarrassed and unsure, quickly moved the lesson on. As she grew older - and having married an Israeli Jew with whom she had a son - Katrin realized that she could no longer avoid her family history. Katrin Himmler`s cool but meticulous examination of the Himmler story reveals -in all its dark complexity - the gulf between the `normality` of bourgeois family life and the horrors perpetrated by one member. This riveting family memoir provides essential new information on the private life and background of one of the twentieth century`s most notorious killers - not a lone evil executioner, but a middle-class family man, loved and fully supported by his respectable German… [detailed...]

Tricia Rose
The Hip Hop Wars: What We Talk About When We Talk About Hip Hop-and Why It Matters

2008 y.
Publisher: Basic Civitas Books
Description: Hip-hop is in crisis. For the past dozen years, the most commercially successful hip-hop has become increasingly saturated with caricatures of black gangstas, thugs, pimps, and ’hos. The controversy surrounding hip-hop is worth attending to and examining with a critical eye because, as scholar and cultural critic Tricia Rose argues, hip-hop has become a primary means by which we talk about race in the United States. In The Hip-Hop Wars, Rose explores the most crucial issues underlying the polarized claims on each side of the debate: Does hip-hop cause violence, or merely reflect a violent ghetto culture? Is hip-hop sexist, or are its detractors simply anti-sex? Does the portrayal of black culture in hip-hop undermine black advancement? A potent exploration of a divisive and important subject, The Hip-Hop Wars concludes with a call for the regalvanization of the progressive and creative heart of hip-hop. What Rose calls for is not a sanitized vision of the form, but one… [detailed...]

Publisher: Warner Books
Description: A menacing cloud hangs over the eighth adventure of 19th-century archeologists Amelia Peabody and her husband, Radcliffe Emerson (seen before in The Snake, the Crocodile and the Dog). Unfortunately, the cloud rains suspense only in the book`s final quarter, long after the warning of a dire threat has paled. In Cairo, Amelia and Emerson are visited by a mysterious man who shows them a scarab ring and claims that it is the symbol of the High Priest of Queen Tetisheri, whom he has sworn to protect. He offers to lead them to her tomb, thereby passing his `sacred duty` onto Emerson. But after the man acts as if he`s poisoned and then vanishes, the couple dismiss his words. They are soon reminded of his visit when a notorious antiquities dealer, whom they liken to a hippopotamus because of his girth, warns them to watch whom they trust. With their preteen son, Ramses, and their ward, Nefret, the family travels to western Thebes in search of Tetisheri`s tomb. There, after a series of minor… [detailed...]

The Historian`s Wizard of Oz : Reading L. Frank Baum`s Classic as a Political and Monetary Allegory

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Historian`s Wizard of Oz synthesizes four decades of scholarly interpretations of L. Frank Baum`s classic children`s novel as an allegory of the Gilded Age political economy and a comment on the gold standard. The heart of the book is an annotated version of The Wizard of Oz that highlights the possible political and monetary symbolism in the book by relating characters, settings, and incidents in it to the historical events and figures of the 1890s, the decade in which Baum wrote his story. Dighe simultaneously values the leading political interpretations of Oz as useful and creative teaching tools, and consolidates them in a sympathetic fashion, yet he rejects the commonly held, and by now well-debunked, view that those interpretations reflect Baum`s likely motivations in writing the book. The result is a unique way for readers to acquaint themselves with a classic of children`s literature that is a bit different and darker than the better-known film version. [detailed...]

Description: Filmmaker and author Peter Greenaway`s preoccupation with the deficiencies of taxonomy yields further fruit in this second installment of his 100-book project, The Historians, `an encyclopedic compendium of everything in the world gathered together in one place.` In this volume, Toys, a team of historians investigates the genres, media and function of childrens` playthings, with the aim of making an inventory of their variety and applications, toys, they believe, are a key to determining what sort of adults children become. But in the course of constructing this ambitious inventory of 10,000 items, the historians` mutual competitiveness clouds their judgment to the point of self-defeat and calumny, resulting ultimately in both a gruesome self-reflexive punishment for them and a toy encyclopedia of no use to anybody. This volume affiliates Greenaway with certain of his literary predecessors, such as Jorge Luis Borges and Georges Perec, who likewise parodied the strict conventions of… [detailed...]

Irving M. Zeitlin
The Historical Muhammad

2007 y.
Publisher: Polity
Description: In his quest for the historical Muhammad, Zeitlin`s chief aim is to catch glimpses of the birth of Islam and the role played by its extraordinary founder. Islam, as its Prophet came to conceive it, was a strict and absolute monotheism. How Muhammad had arrived at this view is not a problem for Muslims, who believe that the Prophet received a revelation from Allah or God, mediated by the Angel Gabriel. For scholars, however, interested in placing Muhammad in the historical context of the seventh-century Arabian Peninsula, the source of the Prophets inspiration is a significant question. It is apparent that the two earlier monotheisms, Judaism and Christianity, constituted an influential presence in the Hijaz, the region comprising Mecca and Medina. Indeed, Jewish communities were salient here, especially in Medina and other not-too-distant oases. Moreover, in addition to the presence of Jews and Christians, there existed a third category of individuals, the Hanifs, who,… [detailed...]

The Historical Reliability of the Gospels

2008 y.
Publisher: IVP Academic
Description: For over twenty years, Craig Blomberg`s The Historical Reliability of the Gospels has provided a useful antidote to many of the toxic effects of skeptical criticism of the Gospels. Offering a calm, balanced overview of the history of Gospel criticism, especially that of the late twentieth century, Blomberg introduces readers to the methods employed by New Testament scholars and shows both the values and limits of those methods. He then delves more deeply into the question of miracles, Synoptic discrepancies and the differences between the Synoptics and John. After an assessment of noncanonical Jesus tradition, he addresses issues of historical method directly. This new edition has been thoroughly updated in light of new developments with numerous additions to the footnotes and two added appendixes. Readers will find that over the past twenty years, the case for the historical trustworthiness of the Gospels has grown vastly stronger. [detailed...]

The Historicity of the Patriarchal Narratives: The Quest for the Historical Abraham

2002 y.
Publisher: Trinity Press International
Description: Archaeology seems to have become an active partner in the attempt to prove the historical truth of the Bible. Biblical archaeologists have gone to the field in search of Noah`s ark or the walls of Jericho, as if the finding of these artifacts would make the events of scripture somehow more true or real. Thomas Thompson is one of the most vocal contemporary critics of biblical archaeology. His simple but powerful thesis is that archaeology cannot be used in the service of the Bible. Focusing on the patriarchal narratives—the stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—he demonstrates that archaeological research simply cannot historically substantiate these stories. Going further, Thompson says that archaeological materials should never be dated or evaluated on the basis of written texts. Looking to the patriarchal narratives in Genesis, he concludes that these stories are neither historical nor were they intended to be historical. Instead, these narratives are written as… [detailed...]
