Book Description
The days were long… Kyle Stuart was on the brink of disaster! His company was crumbling, his employees were planning a mutiny and he was shunned from polite society in Jeffersonville, Georgia, simply because he was born north of the Mason-Dixon line. Only one person could help him—bright, gorgeous, my-family-hates-Yankees Maggie Jefferson. But the nights were longer! For Maggie, falling for sexy-as-sin Kyle Stuart was as good as consorting with the enemy. But the steamy nights she spent in Kyle's arms were definitely worth the risk.

On the Edge
Author: Dennis Tourish
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317463633
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
This is the first book to document the extent of political cults on both the right and left and explain their significance for mainstream political organizations. The authors outline the defining characteristics of cults in general, and analyze the degree to which a variety of well-known movements fall within the spectrum of cultic organizations. The book covers such individuals and groups as Lyndon LaRouche, Fred Newman, Ted Grant, Marlene Dixon, the Christian Identity movement, Posse Commitatus, Aryan Nation, militias, and the Freemen. It explores the ideological underpinnings that predispose cult followers to cultic practices, along with the measures cults use to suppress dissent, achieve intense conformity, and extract extraordinary levels of commitment.

Eudora Welty and Politics
Author: Harriet Pollack
Publisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 9780807126189
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
This collection of complementary and interrelated essays by ten well-known Welty critics brings welcome clarification to the controversial subject of Eudora Welty and the political, a topic once presumed to be closed tight. As the essays prove, Welty has been inaccurately assessed by critics from Diana Trilling in the Nation (1943) to Claudia Roth Pierpont in the New Yorker (1998) as a writer who avoids political, historical, or cultural engagement in her fiction. The better question these essayists explore is not whether but how Welty’s work is to be understood as political. Harriet Pollack, Suzanne Marrs, Peggy Prenshaw, Noel Polk, Suzan Harrison, Ann Romines, Rebecca Mark, Barbara Ladd, Sharon Baris, and Danièle Pitavy-Souques place Welty’s seeming rejection of the political in her 1961 essay “Must the Novelist Crusade?” into the cultural and historical context of 1940–1960, when “individualism” was a code word for political and personal freedom and was defined in contrast to totalitarianism as represented by Mussolini, Hitler, and Stalin. Welty, they show, though she repudiated the concept of fiction as editorial, wrote stories that were inherently and unavoidably political. The essayists look closely at how surprisingly often Welty’s fiction, criticism, and photographs are oblique responses to public political issues—political corruption, racial apartheid, poverty, McCarthyism and the Rosenberg trials, violent resistance to the civil rights movement, integration of schools, and filial piety and southern reverence for identities of the cultural past. The deceptive opposition of the terms private and political may be most at fault for misreading Welty. As the only living author to be reedited by the Library of America, Eudora Welty deserves a sound appreciation of her complex oeuvre. Eudora Welty and Politics provides just that, approaching Welty’s work from an all-new point of view to reveal how the writer repeatedly registered a political vision in her work.
