Download or read book Paradise Valley written by Reuben Ray II and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paradise Valley / Black Bottom was an area in Detroit where African Americans lived and survived. This story was about a time in American history in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s, concerning citizens who, because of restrictions based on their race, were forced to build and create their own social order and leave for their successors a rich legacy and an indelible mark for posterity. This is a story of Reuben Ray Sr. and his resolve to exist successfully in a space that didnt seem too receptive to his presence. His son, Reuben Ray II, and daughters, Izetta Carol Jackson and Gayle Hawkins, encouraged him to put his life story on tape so that his grandchildren could enjoy his commanding voice as much as they had. Little did they realize the significance of their request until after Reuben Ray Sr.s death on Tuesday, March 18, 1980.

Download or read book Rats Alley written by Peter Chasseaud and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2017-08-21 with total page 896 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When first published in 2006, Rats Alley was a ground-breaking piece of research, the first-ever study of trench names of the Western Front. Now, in this fully updated and revised second edition, the gazetteer has been extended to well over 20,000 trench names, complete with map references – in itself an essential tool for any First World War researcher. However, combined with the finely considered history and analysis of trench naming during the First World War, this is an edition that no military history enthusiast should be without. Discover when, how and why British trenches were first named and follow the names' fascinating development throughout the First World War, alongside details of French and German trench-naming practices. Looked at from both contemporary and modern points of view, the names reveal the full horror of trench warfare and throw an extraordinary sidelight on the cultural life of the period, and the landscape and battles of the Western Front. Names such as Lovers Lane, Idiot Corner, Cyanide Trench, Crazy Redoubt, Doleful Post, Furies Trench, Peril Avenue, Lunatic Sap and Gangrene Alley can be placed in context. With useful information on where original trench maps are held, and how to obtain copies, Rats Alley is a vital volume for both military and family historians.
Book Synopsis Signs of the Signs by : William Brevda
Download or read book Signs of the Signs written by William Brevda and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-16 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of signs in American literature and culture. It is mainly about electric signs, but also deals with non-electric signs and related phenomena, such as movie sets. The 'sign' is considered in both the architectural and semiotic senses of the word. It is argued that the drama and spectacle of the electric sign called attention to the semiotic implications of the 'sign.' In fiction, poetry, and commentary, the electric SIGN became a 'sign' of manifold meanings that this book explores: a sign of the city, a sign of America, a sign of the twentieth century, a sign of modernism, a sign of postmodernism, a sign of noir, a sign of naturalism, a sign of the beats, a sign of signs systems (the Bible to Broadway), a sign of tropes (the Great White way to the neon jungle), a sign of the writers themselves, a sign of the sign itself. If Moby Dick is the great American novel, then it is also the great American novel about signs, as the prologue maintains. The chapters that follow demonstrate that the sign is indeed a 'sign' of American literature. After the electric sign was invented, it influenced Stephen Crane to become a nightlight impressionist and Theodore Dreiser to make the 'fire sign' his metaphor for the city. An actual Broadway sign might have inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. In Manhattan Transfer and U.S.A., John Dos Passos portrayed America as just a spectacular sign. William Faulkner's electric signs are full of sound and fury signifying modernity. The Last Tycoon was a sign of Fitzgerald's decline. The signs of noir can be traced to Poe's 'The Man of the Crowd.' Absence flickers in the neons of Raymond Chandler's Los Angeles. The death of God haunts the neon wilderness of Nelson Algren. Hitler's 'empire' was an non-intentional parody of Nathanael West's California. The beats reinvented Times Square in their own image. Jack Kerouac's search for the center of Saturday night was a quest for transcendence. This book will interest readers who want to learn more about the city, the history of advertising, electric lighting, nightlife, architecture, and semiotics. In contrast to other cultural studies, however, Signs of the Signs is primarily a work of literary criticism. Lovers of literary light will appreciate this book the most.

Book Synopsis The American metropolis - From Knickerbocker Times to the year 1900 by : Frank Moss
Download or read book The American metropolis - From Knickerbocker Times to the year 1900 written by Frank Moss and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author aptly characterizes this work as a “series of itineraries" by which the reader is made familiar with much of the history of Manhattan Island by being led to the very spots associated with important historical events. But this book is much more. It is surprising and refreshing to read a defense of the Five Points from the pen of so intelligent a witness. We who are deeply interested in New York history thank the author for the facts which he has collected. There is a unique arrangement of the interesting, instructive, and inspiring matter which makes it a literary work of a high order. And: the book has a distinct purpose — the interesting of the people in the history and historic localities of the city and the awakening in them of civic pride and affection.

Book Synopsis The Many Lives of Tom Waits by : Patrick Humphries
Download or read book The Many Lives of Tom Waits written by Patrick Humphries and published by Omnibus Press. This book was released on 2009-12-17 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This full length biography is the first comprehensive account of a truly legendary artist. It covers every aspect of the life and career of a man who has never seemed to be in the slightest danger of losing his credibility to mainstream success. With twenty albums to his credit and a legion of passionate fans, the uncompromising Waits continues to conjure up tender, ragged and magical songs that have attracted cover versions by artists as esteemed as Bruce Springsteen, Rod Stewart, The Eagles, Elvis Costello, Meat Loaf, The Ramones and Johnny Cash. Abrasive and single-minded, the gravel voiced singer/songwriter and occasional movie actor has followed one of the most unlikely career paths in popular music. Patrick Humphries' biography finally does this unique character justice with an in-depth critical overview of his life and work supplemented with authoritative discography and filmography.
