David Bret
Clark Gable: Tormented Star

2007 y.
Publisher: Da Capo
Description: Clark Gable was the archetypal Hollywood gentleman, the kind of man red-blooded women lusted after, and who their envious husbands yearned to be. Yet as David Bret reveals, Gable was also bisexual, a facet of his complex persona that was airbrushed out in an age when such men were invariably mocked as effete and lily-livered. Bret recounts Gable`s two failed marriages to women who turned a blind eye towards his affairs with men, such as the actors Earl Larimore, Johnny Mack Brown, William Haines, and Rod LaRocque — men whom Gable outed to the press to prevent himself from being outed. Bret also reveals exclusively that Gable`s wartime `heroics,` which saw him promoted through the ranks from private to major in less than a year, were no more than an elaborate publicity stunt, which subsequently embarrassed the U.S. government. Bret draws on a wealth of unpublished material to examine every aspect of Clark Gable`s career and personal life, telling his story as it has never been told… [detailed...]

Marc Egnal
Clash of Extremes: The Economic Origins of the Civil War

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Clash of Extremes takes on the reigning orthodoxy that the American Civil War was waged over high moral principles. Marc Egnal contends that economics, more than any other factor, moved the country to war in 1861. Drawing on a wealth of primary and secondary sources, Egnal shows that between 1820 and 1850, patterns of trade and production drew the North and South together and allowed sectional leaders to broker a series of compromises. After midcentury, however, all that changed as the rise of the Great Lakes economy reoriented Northern trade along east-west lines. Meanwhile, in the South, soil exhaustion, concerns about the country’s westward expansion, and growing ties between the Upper South and the free states led many cotton planters to contemplate secession. The war that ensued was truly a “clash of extremes.” Sweeping from the 1820s through Reconstruction and filled with colorful portraits of leading individuals, Clash of Extremes emphasizes economics while giving careful… [detailed...]

Clash of the Titans: How the Unbridled Ambition of Ted Turner and Rupert Murdoch Has Created Global Empires that Control What We Read and Watch Each Day

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Amazon.comWhat do Ted Turner and Rupert Murdoch want out of life? Apart from the usual pleasures--love, fortune, good health--they apparently want to control the world`s media. And, to judge by this account, each wants the other`s head on a platter. `In another time, they might have dueled on a grassy plain with muskets, or faced each other at high noon at opposite ends of a dusty street, holsters slung low on their hips,` writes media/entertainment pundit Hack. Turner and Murdoch have chosen to fight it out, with undisguised venom, in a singularly public venue--Turner through CNN and other networks, Murdoch through Sky and Fox TV, plus a host of magazines and newspapers. Turner espouses liberal views while Murdoch is a hard-line conservative, but both are supreme `controllers of information` and `manipulators of public opinion,` according to Hack. Their fight has cost billions of dollars, and it`s wounded more than a few bystanders. It has also, as Hack rightly notes, set the… [detailed...]

Class Degrees: Smart Work, Managed Choice, and the Transformation of Higher Education

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Since the 1980s there has been considerable discussion of the `vocationalizing` of universities in the U.S. Critics see a narrowing of focus to career objectives at the expense of a more broad-based humanities education and the citizenship training necessary to a democracy. There has been much less discussion, however, of the reform initiatives intended to change actual vocational education programs. In its beginnings early in the 20th century vocational education was designed to train a working class for massive industrialization. Influential figures like Charles Prosser insisted on a rigid separation between vocational and academic training. Students were to be taught limited and very job-specific skills. The reforms of the 1980s and 1990s in contrast were directed not only at making vocational training more `academic` in content, but also at transforming the psychology of student expectations toward the idea of middle class careers. This book argues that the complexities of… [detailed...]

Class Struggle in Hollywood, 1930-1950 : Moguls, Mobsters

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: `This book is destined to be a bombshell in the field and perhaps far beyond the field.` -Paul Buhle, coauthor of Tender Comrades: A Backstory of the Hollywood Blacklist As World War II wound down in 1945 and the cold war heated up, the skilled trades that made up the Conference of Studio Unions (CSU) began a tumultuous strike at the major Hollywood studios. This turmoil escalated further when the studios retaliated by locking out CSU in 1946. This labor unrest unleashed a fury of Red-baiting that allowed studio moguls to crush the union and seize control of the production process, with far-reaching consequences. This engrossing book probes the motives and actions of all the players to reveal the full story of the CSU strike and the resulting lockoutof 1946. Gerald Horne draws extensively on primary materials and oral histories to document how limited a `threat` the Communist party actually posed in Hollywood, even as studio moguls successfully used the Red scare to undermine… [detailed...]

Class in America [Three Volumes]: An Encyclopedia

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the United States, social class ranks with gender, race, and ethnicity in determining the values, activities, political behavior, and life chances of individuals. Most scholars agree on the importance of class, although they often disagree on what it is and how it impacts Americans. This A-Z encyclopedia, the first to focus on class in the United States, surveys the breadth of class strata throughout our history, cross-discipline, for high school students to the general public. Class is illuminated in 525 essay entries on significant people, terms, theories, programs, institutions, eras, ethnic groups, places, and much more. This useful set is an authoritative, fascinating source for in-demand information on key aspects of our culture and society and helps researchers to narrow down a broad topic. Class is revealed from angles that often intersect: through history, with entries such as Founding Fathers, the Industrial Revolution, Westward Expansion, through economics, with entries… [detailed...]

Class-Passing: Social Mobility In Film And Popular Culture

Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionOprah Winfrey, Donald Trump, Roseanne Barr, and Britney Spears typify class-passers?those who claim different socioeconomic classes as their own?asserts Gwendolyn Audrey Foster in Class-Passing: Social Mobility in Film and Popular Culture . According to new rules of social standing in American popular culture, class is no longer defined by wealth, birth, or education. Instead, today?s notion of class reflects a socially constructed and regulated series of performed acts and gestures rooted in the cult of celebrity. In examining the quest for class mobility, Foster deftly traces class-passing through the landscape of popular films, reality television shows, advertisements, the Internet, and video games. She deconstructs the politics of celebrity, fashion, and conspicuous consumerism and analyzes class-passing as it relates to the American Dream, gender, and marriage. Class-Passing draws on dozens of examples from popular culture,… [detailed...]

Classes on Modern Poets and the Art of Poetry

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionWidely known as the winner of the 1966 National Book Award and author of the best-selling novel Deliverance, James Dickey devoted himself as much to the critique of the modern literary tradition as to his participation in it. A writer enthralled by teaching, he lectured at several major universities before settling at the University of South Carolina for nearly three decades as poet-in-residence. After his death in 1997, a transcription of his lectures was found among his papers. Collected here and published for the first time, these lectures reveal judgments and appraisals Dickey would use to great effect in his teaching. They also contribute to the unraveling of Dickey`s art from the larger-than-life myth that surrounded him. In a comprehensive introduction to Dickey`s remarks, Donald J. Greiner evaluates the relevance of the writer`s often sharply worded opinions. The volume brings to life class sessions planned and delivered soon after Dickey took up full-time… [detailed...]
