This is a handsome book; brown cloth quarterpanels in photographic jacket , specially made to view the close up photo of Rosa ... Jacket protected in New, non-stick clear mylar sleeve ... Gift Giving quality ... 246 pages ... The brave and beloved American icon Rosa Parks, an African American seamstress in 1955 Alabama, had no idea she was changing history when, work-weary, she refused to surrender her seat to a white passenger on a segregated bus ... In the second volume of the popular Penguin Lives series to be devoted to a woman ( only four of the projected 26 subjects will be female) , historian Brinkley shreds several key myths surrounding Rosa Parks, the African-American woman who became "the Mother of the Civil Rights Movement" at the age of 42, when she boldly defied Jim Crow laws, catalyzed the historic 381-day Montgomery bus boycott and stirred the nation's conscience... Now she is immortalized for the defiance that sent her to jail and triggered a bus boycott that catapulted Martin Luther King, Jr, into the national spotlight ... Who was she, before and after her historical act, and how did it sound the death knell for Jim Crow ? ... A more complex personality than is suggested by her shy, soft-spoken public persona, Brinkley reveals. Despite a humble, fatherless childhood in rural Alabama, she quickly distinguished herself as a tireless worker with the local NAACP, devoting her energies to area youth groups, recording the problems of victims of hate crimes and participating in the organization's major state conferences ... Historian Douglas Brinkley, whose "vigorous language" and "marvelous portraits" ( Stephen Ambrose ) have made him an acclaimed author, brings mid 20th century America alive in this brilliant examination of a celebrated heroine in the context of her life and tumultuous times ...

These and other highly charged terms have saturated news broadcasts and everyday conversation since September 11 ... But to keen ears, their meanings change depending upon who's doing the talking ... So what do these words really mean? ... And what are people trying to say when they use them? ... Each of the fourteen essays in Collateral Language offers an informed perspective on a particular word or phrase that serves as a building block in the edifice of post-World Trade Center rhetoric ... In some cases this involves a systematic examination of the term in question (e,g, "anthrax" or "unity"), its historical roots, the development of its meaning and usage in the United States over time, and its employment in the current context ... In other cases, authors provide a set of more philosophical or autobiographical reflections on a particular idea (e.g. "vital interests" or "evil"), suggesting a need to consider the ethical and moral implications of using the concept uncritically ... In every instance, however, the over-riding goal is to give the reader a set of practical tools to analyze the political language that surrounds all of us at this critical point in our nation's history ...

In Dublin, New Hampshire, and on up to New York City, where he admires drag queens in Greenwich Village, incorrectly describes the Brooklyn Bridge and makes snide cracks about New Yorkers ... but nothing, no doubt, to what they said about him ! He continues his visits to Dublins in Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Indiana, Ohio, Georgia, Texas and California, and enjoys himself in Nashville, where he enthusiastically worships at the shrine of Elvis and contemplates the connection between the Everly Brothers and the poetry of William Butler Yeats.

Schiff and his wife Teresa; Hyman Epstein in his store in 1900; Beth Israel Synagoge1897 , 1911, and 1913 and with members of the congregation circa 1930; the Rockefellers; Rosserne house Northeast Harbor; Arthur Unobskey with Senator Margaret Chase Smith; and more ... Author Judith S. Goldstein , M.A, Ph.D. history, is a graduate of Columbia ... She lives in Maine, and in New York City. This book provides a sharply etched history of the Protestant establishment and Jewish immigrants in 3 communities in the State of Maine in America - Bangor, Mount Desert Island, and Calais ... fro the period of the Gilded Age, pre First World War, on through to the 1960s Civil Rights Movement. This highly unusual perceptive narrative brings together Yankee lumber barons and Jewish peddlers, Wall Street financiers and Main Street clothing merchants, local and national elites, and immigrants from Germany and Russia. Some of the personalties present in this book went on to fame and fortune, and maintain strong national reputations many years later ... John D. Rockefeller Jr, Jacob H. Schiff, Charles W. Eliot, Henry Morgenthau Sr... Others achieved distinction purely on a local scale - Dr. Lawrence Cutler , and Sara & Arthur Unobskey ... Patterns of acceptance toward the new immigrants varied from place to place and town to town ... Calais, Maine was the most tolerant of the Jewish newcomers; in Bangor and Mount Desert Island, rejection of the Jews, fueled by anti-immigrant and anti-Semitic attitudes, eventually gave way to acceptance and economic mobility ... In all three towns, a deep respect for American-style success was evident - wealth, civic pride, residential and commercial development, proud reputations, and confidence in the future ... Although Jewish immigrants in the three places within the state of Maine differed in their numbers, cohesiveness, and inclination to build Jewish institutions, they were similar in their patterns of development. The first immigrants were street peddlers, the more successful among them eventually going on to establish clothing and dry-goods stores. They scrimped and saved to bring their familes from Russia, and put their children through the American public school system, and eventually into the middle class ... As the immigrants and their children reached out to be part of American life, their Eastern-European religious and cultural traditions were radically, often awkwardly and even painfully, transformed. From the Gilded Age , through WWI, through the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, the Second World War, postwar prosperity in the 1950s, and on to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. Beginning within a framework of Gentile domination and wealth, in contrast to immigrant poverty, the book concludes with exclusivity giving way to equal opportunity for Jews in all but a few pockets of life ... Fascinating history of an area of America which is a microcosm of American history in general ... The immigrant experience is the American experience ... and the American experience is the story of her immigrants ...

Gift Giving quality ... 246 pages ... The brave and beloved American icon Rosa Parks, an African American seamstress in 1955 Alabama, had no idea she was changing history when, work-weary, she refused to surrender her seat to a white passenger on a segregated bus ... In the second volume of the popular Penguin Lives series to be devoted to a woman ( only four of the projected 26 subjects will be female) , historian Brinkley shreds several key myths surrounding Rosa Parks, the African-American woman who became "the Mother of the Civil Rights Movement" at the age of 42, when she boldly defied Jim Crow laws, catalyzed the historic 381-day Montgomery bus boycott and stirred the nation's conscience... Now she is immortalized for the defiance that sent her to jail and triggered a bus boycott that catapulted Martin Luther King, Jr, into the national spotlight ... Who was she, before and after her historical act, and how did it sound the death knell for Jim Crow ? ... A more complex personality than is suggested by her shy, soft-spoken public persona, Brinkley reveals. Despite a humble, fatherless childhood in rural Alabama, she quickly distinguished herself as a tireless worker with the local NAACP, devoting her energies to area youth groups, recording the problems of victims of hate crimes and participating in the organization's major state conferences ... Historian Douglas Brinkley, whose "vigorous language" and "marvelous portraits" ( Stephen Ambrose ) have made him an acclaimed author, brings mid 20th century America alive in this brilliant examination of a celebrated heroine in the context of her life and tumultuous times ...

Each of the fourteen essays in Collateral Language offers an informed perspective on a particular word or phrase that serves as a building block in the edifice of post-World Trade Center rhetoric ... In some cases this involves a systematic examination of the term in question (e,g, "anthrax" or "unity"), its historical roots, the development of its meaning and usage in the United States over time, and its employment in the current context ... In other cases, authors provide a set of more philosophical or autobiographical reflections on a particular idea (e.g. "vital interests" or "evil"), suggesting a need to consider the ethical and moral implications of using the concept uncritically ... In every instance, however, the over-riding goal is to give the reader a set of practical tools to analyze the political language that surrounds all of us at this critical point in our nation's history ...

Author Judith S. Goldstein , M.A, Ph.D. history, is a graduate of Columbia ... She lives in Maine, and in New York City. This book provides a sharply etched history of the Protestant establishment and Jewish immigrants in 3 communities in the State of Maine in America - Bangor, Mount Desert Island, and Calais ... fro the period of the Gilded Age, pre First World War, on through to the 1960s Civil Rights Movement. This highly unusual perceptive narrative brings together Yankee lumber barons and Jewish peddlers, Wall Street financiers and Main Street clothing merchants, local and national elites, and immigrants from Germany and Russia. Some of the personalties present in this book went on to fame and fortune, and maintain strong national reputations many years later ... John D. Rockefeller Jr, Jacob H. Schiff, Charles W. Eliot, Henry Morgenthau Sr... Others achieved distinction purely on a local scale - Dr. Lawrence Cutler , and Sara & Arthur Unobskey ... Patterns of acceptance toward the new immigrants varied from place to place and town to town ... Calais, Maine was the most tolerant of the Jewish newcomers; in Bangor and Mount Desert Island, rejection of the Jews, fueled by anti-immigrant and anti-Semitic attitudes, eventually gave way to acceptance and economic mobility ... In all three towns, a deep respect for American-style success was evident - wealth, civic pride, residential and commercial development, proud reputations, and confidence in the future ... Although Jewish immigrants in the three places within the state of Maine differed in their numbers, cohesiveness, and inclination to build Jewish institutions, they were similar in their patterns of development. The first immigrants were street peddlers, the more successful among them eventually going on to establish clothing and dry-goods stores. They scrimped and saved to bring their familes from Russia, and put their children through the American public school system, and eventually into the middle class ... As the immigrants and their children reached out to be part of American life, their Eastern-European religious and cultural traditions were radically, often awkwardly and even painfully, transformed. From the Gilded Age , through WWI, through the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, the Second World War, postwar prosperity in the 1950s, and on to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. Beginning within a framework of Gentile domination and wealth, in contrast to immigrant poverty, the book concludes with exclusivity giving way to equal opportunity for Jews in all but a few pockets of life ... Fascinating history of an area of America which is a microcosm of American history in general ...
