Book Synopsis South-Watching by : Fred C. Hobson Jr.
Download or read book South-Watching written by Fred C. Hobson Jr. and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gerald W. Johnson of North Carolina and Baltimore was one of the most prominent American journalists of the twentieth century and one of the outstanding essayists of any age. The author of some three dozen books of history, biography, and commentary on American politics and culture, he was an editorial writer for the Baltimore Sunpapers from 1926 to 1943, a contributing editor of the New Republic from 1954 until his death in 1980, and an advocate of liberal causes for half a century. Johnson was, as Adlai Stevenson said, "the conscience of America." Before Johnson examined the health of America, however, he examined the health of the South--and generally, in the 1920s, he found it poor. The revival of the Ku Klux Klan, the Scopes trial, the anti-Catholicism sparked by Al Smith's presidential candidacy, and the labor violence of 1929 made the South the nation's number one news item, reinforcing the national image of a Savage South. In South-Watching, Fred Hobson contends that Johnson's most important accomplishment was his role as brilliant critic and interpreter of Southern life during this crucial stage in the making of a modern Southern mind. This volume is the first collection of Johnson's essays about the South, and Hobson's perceptive introduction is the first biographical treatment of a man whose vision shaped the destiny of his native region.

Book Synopsis Communism: an American's View by : Gerald White Johnson
Download or read book Communism: an American's View written by Gerald White Johnson and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans find Communism hard to understand, and yet it is vitally important that they do. Young people, in particular, have little to read on this form of government. Now Gerald W. Johnson, in a much-needed book, writes of the origins of Communism and how it has evolved over the years since Karl Marx wrote 'Capital'. With wisdom and clarity, Mr. Johnson colorfully describes the Russian Revolution and the chaos that followed it. He examines the characters of the men who finally got the government working -- Lenin and Trotsky -- and the dictatorship of Joseph Stalin. "If Marxism was the root of the system, and Leninism its flower," writes Mr Johnson, "Stalinism was its fruit." Under Nikita Khrushchev, Communism is entering still another phase, although the Russian love of secrecy makes it as hard to understand as ever. Readers will gain new insights from this penetrating analysis of Communism. They will also be moved by the author's eloquent statement of his belief in freedom of mind and what every American must do to defend it. -- Jacket description.

Book Synopsis Benjamin V. Cohen by : William Lasser
Download or read book Benjamin V. Cohen written by William Lasser and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A key figure in the administrations of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman, Benjamin V. Cohen (1894–1983) was a major architect of public policy from the first days of FDR’s presidency through the early days of the Cold War. Although he kept a low public profile, Cohen’s influence extended across a wide range of domestic and foreign policy initiatives. In this biography, William Lasser offers the first account of Ben Cohen’s life and career, and an assessment of his contribution to the origin and development of modern American liberalism. Cohen’s life provides an extraordinary lens through which to view the development of the evolving political philosophy of the Roosevelt and Truman presidencies. A brilliant lawyer noted for his good judgment and experience, Cohen was a leading member of FDR’s “Brain Trust,” developing ideas, drafting legislation, lobbying within the administration and in Congress, and defending the New Deal in court. The book traces his contributions to domestic financial policy, his activities during the war years in London and Washington, his service as counselor to the State Department and member of the American delegation to the United Nations after the war, and his role in the American Zionist movement. From Cohen’s life and work, Lasser draws important insights into the development of the New Deal and the evolution of postwar liberalism.

Book Synopsis Persons and Things by : Barbara Johnson
Download or read book Persons and Things written by Barbara Johnson and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2008-04-30 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving effortlessly between symbolist poetry and Barbie dolls, artificial intelligence and Kleist, Kant, and Winnicott, Barbara Johnson not only clarifies psychological and social dynamics; she also re-dramatizes the work of important tropes—without ever losing sight of the ethical imperative with which she begins: the need to treat persons as persons. In Persons and Things, Johnson turns deconstruction around to make a fundamental contribution to the new aesthetics. She begins with the most elementary thing we know: deconstruction calls attention to gaps and reveals that their claims upon us are fraudulent. Johnson revolutionizes the method by showing that the inanimate thing exposed as a delusion is central to fantasy life, that fantasy life, however deluded, should be taken seriously, and that although a work of art “is formed around something missing,” this “void is its vanishing point, not its essence.” She shows deftly and delicately that the void inside Keats’s urn, Heidegger’s jug, or Wallace Stevens’s jar forms the center around which we tend to organize our worlds. The new aesthetics should restore fluidities between persons and things. In pursuing it, Johnson calls upon Ovid, Keats, Poe, Plath, and others who have inhabited this in-between space. The entire process operates via a subtlety that only a critic of Johnson’s caliber could reveal to us.
