Book excerpt: Excerpt from Among the Americans, And, a Stranger in America Three centuries ago the Reformation broke out, when it was pre dicted that everybody would come to have ideas of his own. A few new creeds ew into the air and alighted upon ledges in the old rocks of Opinion, where they have nestled in inadventurous content, and the groves of thought have seldom since been enlivened by new brightness of plumage or cheered by varieties of song. The republican equality and the republican freedom of America, with their infinite incentives and fertility of aspirations, were to me as a land of new color and new notes, where the minds of the people, like keyless watches, wind them selves up and always keep going. I should have been glad to live there for years, so as to write about it; as it is, I content myself with relating a few of the things which I noticed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Scene The following pages duly explain themselves, I judge, as to the Author's point of view and his relation to his subject; but I prefix this word on the chance of any suspected or perceived failure of such references. My visit to America had been the first possible to me for nearly a quarter of a century, and I had before my last previous one, brief and distant to memory, spent other years in continuous absence; so that I was to return with much of the freshness of eye, outward and inward, which, with the further contribution of a state of desire, is commonly held a precious agent of perception. I felt no doubt, I confess, of my great advantage on that score since if I had had time to become almost as fresh as an inquiring stranger, I had not on the other hand had enough to cease to be, or at least to feel, as acute as an initiated native. I made no scruple of my conviction that I should understand and should care better and more than the most earnest of visitors, and yet that I should vibrate with more curiosity - on the extent of ground, that is, on which I might aspire to intimate intelligence at all than the pilgrim with the longest list of questions, the sharpest appetite for explanations and the largest exposure to mistakes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Americans To outline American life for readers beyond the sea is one thing; to appear before an American audience and to tell them solemnly that there is a Republican and a Democratic party, and that there are troubles between capital and labour, is quite another thing. To inform my German countrymen about America may be to fill a long-felt want; but, as a German, to inform the Ameri cans on matters which they knew before they were born seems, indeed, worse than superﬂuous. When I was urged, on so many sides, to bring my Americans before the Americans, it was, therefore, clear to me from the outset that I ought not to do it myself under any circumstances. If I had translated the book myself, it would have become simply an Eng lish book, written in English by the author and yet its only pos sible right to existence must lie in its reﬂected character, in its hav ing been written for others, in its coming back to the New World from the Old. My friend, Dr. Holt, who has been for years my assistant in the Harvard Psychological Laboratory, has assisted, therefore, in this social psychological experiment, and translated the book from the German edition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an extraordinary blend of narrative history, personal recollection, & oral testimony, the author presents a sweeping history of Asian Americans. He writes of the Chinese who laid tracks for the transcontinental railroad, of plantation laborers in the canefields of Hawaii, of "picture brides" marrying strangers in the hope of becoming part of the American dream. He tells stories of Japanese Americans behind the barbed wire of U.S. internment camps during World War II, Hmong refugees tragically unable to adjust to Wisconsin's alien climate & culture, & Asian American students stigmatized by the stereotype of the "model minority." This is a powerful & moving work that will resonate for all Americans, who together make up a nation of immigrants from other shores.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our American Cousins: Being Personal Impressions of the People and Institutions of the United States There is no country in the world, except his own, through which an Englishman will find it pleasanter to travel than America. He is so kindly received, so hospitably entertained, I may say so affectionately treated, that be naturally feels as much at home as if he were in England. Our cousins across the broad Atlantic, indeed, scarcely regard an Englishman as a stranger at all. They certainly do not behave towards him as if he were one. England is called the old country, the mother country, but never a foreign country. And the respect paid to the old land is extended to the travellers who come from it. Every courtesy and attention are given to him. He is told to make himself, and is made to feel himself, perfectly at home. If the visitor does not have a good time of it, or, to put it more emphatically, a high old time of it, it must be mainly his own fault.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does cinema culture imagine one of its favorite figures, the rebel? The reputation of the American director Nicholas Ray provides a particularly notable example. Most famous for Rebel Without a Cause, Ray has since been canonized as a "rebel auteur" and celebrated for seeking a personal vision and signature style under the industrial pressures of Classical Hollywood during its late studio period. In American Stranger, Will Scheibel reconstructs how Ray's reputation developed over time, analyzing the different historical practices of modernism that set new horizons for artistic rebellion in postwar cinema. Drawing on biographical legends, interviews, film reviews, articles in both national newspapers and international film magazines, and star promotion and publicity, Scheibel examines the contexts in which Ray's reputation was constructed. These include the consolidation of director-based film criticism and the rise of film studies as an academic discipline; star performances and personifications of the rebel male in Ray's films; the counterculture in which Ray promoted himself as a teacher and worked as a political avant-gardist; and the art cinemas of Jean-Luc Godard, Wim Wenders, and Jim Jarmusch, each of whom were influenced by Ray. In addition to Rebel Without a Cause, Scheibel also analyzes such classic films as The Lusty Men and In a Lonely Place, as well as collaborative, less-examined films from his later career outside of Hollywood, We Can't Go Home Again and Lightning Over Water. Reconstructing the evolution of Ray's place in cinema culture, this intellectual history measures the standards for both rebellion and convention, for the vanguard and the establishment, that determine an artistic reputation.

This book was released on 2016-08-13 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Spirit in the Writings of Americans of Foreign Birth Nearly all the selections included in this volume will be found charged with a strong human quality, revealing the poignant Wickness of the stranger in a new world, his sensitiveness, his forward-looking hope, his realization of both the humorous and the tragic side of his case, his fine hero-worship, his firm belief in the unique mission and high destiny of his adopted country, and his faith in the brother hood of man and the dawning of a new day upon the earth. It is not within the scope of this introduction to plead for any particular immigration policy. Whether we shall adopt one of rigid restriction or assume a liberal attitude, and what shall be the bases of the selection of the immigrant in the future, are questions to be answered not by the petty poli tician, the unscrupulous demagogue, the uninformed pro vincial, or the alarmists of little faith who, in their hysteria, would completely reverse the traditions of the nation by closing the gates entirely, but are matters to be determined by fair-minded and representative leaders after a careful and unbiased study of the problem in its various economic, social and national aspects. The chief concern here is with our attitude toward the millions of unassimilated immigrants already among us. To them it would be well for most of us to give our attention before attempting to solve the in trieste and perplexing question of an immigration policy. Perhaps if we did, we might get more light and arrive at a more unanimous and consistent conclusion regarding the ad mission of those who are now said to be ready in such great numbers to knock at our gates.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American I Saw: In 1916-1918 Dear Reader, - You probably know all you ought to know about America: you arc full of the facts no gentleman's mind should be without. But have you ever wandered about America with nothing to do but to learn to love her? If you have, you have already learnt all that this 'thing in book's clothing' can tell you; if you have not, then come with me, and see her as I did. If you do this, I am sure you will forgive me for only giving familiar descriptions from a home diary. I do it as the best way of making you in some degree realise my two years' experience of the minute, gracious care which a passing stranger may receive in America. I always felt like Tobit in Perugino's picture, wandering over the world with successive angels holding my hand, leading me across every street; or, as an American might say, telling me 'where to get off, ' and 'when to come in out of the rain.' My whole heart is full of one big 'Thank you' to a country which has been so wondrously kind to me, that if you pin me down to one adjective to describe America, it would be lovable.

Little Billy and I had long been friends and had become so intimate that we were more like brothers than friends. Some brothers indeed do not stick to each other as closely as Billy and I did for we never quarreled and the worst that ever happened between us was a little growl which we soon got over. Billy and I had been on the bum together a long while and had prospected for gold and other things in Utah, Nevada and California. The adventures we had if I were to relate them would fill several such volumes as this. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
