Book Synopsis The Pro Patria Project by : Nathan S. Mitchell
Download or read book The Pro Patria Project written by Nathan S. Mitchell and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-05-15 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pro Patria Project (“for one’s country”) is the sequel to the author’s The ProCon Conspiracy. It involves a dozen powerful men – six each from the federal and private sectors – who hatch a plot to assassinate a dozen of the nation’s most prominent citizens. Believing these men are undermining the country’s morals and values, the Committee of Twelve consists of the National Security Advisor, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman, Secretary of Defense, Directors of the CIA and FBI, and a U. S. Congressman. Pardoned men from the defunct ProCon Conspiracy are recruited by the Committee to plan and execute the plot. General Henry Mullaire and Colonel Manfred West, co-conspirators during the ProCon debacle, manage an intriguing scheme that uses desperate men to carry out the ruthless murders. No witnesses remain at the end; no stone is left unturned. pThe third book in the trilogy, The Bane of Cinco de Mayo, will follow later this year.
Book Synopsis Guillermo Calles by : Rogelio Agrasánchez, Jr.
Download or read book Guillermo Calles written by Rogelio Agrasánchez, Jr. and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1912, Guillermo Calles (1893-1958) became the first Mexican actor to appear in films made in California. Despite limited resources, he began directing and producing his own movies, and in 1929 pioneered production of Spanish-language sound films. His major works, among them the long-unavailable El indio yaqui and Raza de bronce (both 1927), represented Calles' tireless crusade to restore the image of Mexicans and Indians in an era dominated by Hollywood stereotypes. This biography traces Calles' career from his earliest Hollywood days through the 1950s. Included are the only surviving images of the filmmaker's silent productions, a closing commentary on his intimate circle of relatives, and an appendix featuring two fascinating letters written by Calles during a filming trip.

He becomes disillusioned with the political environment and turns into a renegade (wet rogue agent – WRA). The plot thickens when he attempts to murder a governor who is campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination.

Book Synopsis Lions of the North by : Benjamin R. Teitelbaum
Download or read book Lions of the North written by Benjamin R. Teitelbaum and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-02 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often labeled "neo-Nazis" or "right-wing extremists," radical nationalists in the Nordic countries have always relied on music to voice their opposition to immigration and multiculturalism. These actors shook political establishments throughout Sweden, Denmark, and Norway during the 1980s and 1990s by rallying around white power music and skinhead subculture. But though nationalists once embraced a reputation for crude chauvinism, they are now seeking to reinvent themselves as upstanding and righteous, and they are using music to do it. Lions of the North explores this transformation of anti-immigrant activism in the Nordic countries as it manifests in thought and sound. Offering a rare ethnographic glimpse into controversial and secretive political movements, it investigates changes in the music nationalists make and patronize, reading their puzzling embrace of lite pop, folk music, even rap and reggae as attempts to escape stereotypes and craft a new image for themselves. Lions of the North not only exposes the dynamic relationship between music and politics, but also the ways radical nationalism is adapting to succeed in some of the most liberal societies in the world.

Download or read book Forjando Patria written by Manuel Gamio and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2010-01-15 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often considered the father of anthropological studies in Mexico, Manuel Gamio originally published Forjando Patria in 1916. This groundbreaking manifesto for a national anthropology of Mexico summarizes the key issues in the development of anthropology as an academic discipline and the establishment of an active field of cultural politics in Mexico. Written during the upheaval of the Mexican Revolution, the book has now been translated into English for the first time. Armstrong-Fumero's translation allows readers to develop a more nuanced understanding of this foundational work, which is often misrepresented in contemporary critical analyses. As much about national identity as anthropology, this text gives Anglophone readers access to a particular set of topics that have been mentioned extensively in secondary literature but are rarely discussed with a sense of their original context. Forjando Patria also reveals the many textual ambiguities that can lend themselves to different interpretations. The book highlights the history and development of Mexican anthropology and archaeology at a time when scholars in the United States are increasingly recognizing the importance of cross-cultural collaboration with their Mexican colleagues. It will be of interest to anthropologists and archaeologists studying the region, as well as those involved in the history of the discipline.

Book Synopsis How to become a European Tiger by : Magdalena Spendel
Download or read book How to become a European Tiger written by Magdalena Spendel and published by QBS-Quality Business Software sp. z o.o.. This book was released on 2017-05-21 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A former Soviet state, located in northeastern Europe, now a member of the European Union – with this usually ends our knowledge about Estonia. After long reflection, one remembers some of the news headlines: “Baltic Economic Tiger”, “E-residency”, “E-state”. Although we know little, our knowledge allows us to describe a country that has emerged from under the Soviet yoke. Once poor, Estonia today walks the path of growth. Unfortunately, the story of Estonia, and especially the process of its transformation, remains unknown to many. But this success story offers good lessons not only for future generations but also for countries that still struggle with the socialist legacy.
Book Synopsis Clio and the Crown by : Richard L. Kagan
Download or read book Clio and the Crown written by Richard L. Kagan and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monarchs throughout the ages have commissioned official histories that cast their reigns in a favorable light for future generations. These accounts, sanctioned and supported by the ruling government, often gloss over the more controversial aspects of a king's or queen’s time on the throne. Instead, they present highly selective and positive readings of a monarch’s contribution to national identity and global affairs. In Clio and the Crown, Richard L. Kagan examines the official histories of Spanish monarchs from medieval times to the middle of the 18th century. He expertly guides readers through the different kinds of official histories commissioned: those whose primary focus was the monarch; those that centered on the Spanish kingdom as a whole; and those that celebrated Spain’s conquest of the New World. In doing so, Kagan also documents the life and work of individual court chroniclers, examines changes in the practice of official history, and highlights the political machinations that influenced the redaction of such histories. Just as world leaders today rely on fast-talking press officers to explain their sometimes questionable actions to the public, so too did the kings and queens of medieval and early modern Spain. Monarchs often went to great lengths to exert complete control over the official history of their reign, physically intimidating historians, destroying and seizing manuscripts and books, rewriting past histories, and restricting history writing to authorized persons. Still, the larger practice of history writing—as conducted by nonroyalist historians, various scholars and writers, and even church historians—provided a corrective to official histories. Kagan concludes that despite its blemishes, the writing of official histories contributed, however imperfectly, to the practice of historiography itself.

The country-specific chapters are written by scholars with well-documented area expertise on their respective cases: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Albania, Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia.
