How the Irish Became White
Author: Noel Ignatiev
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135070695
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
'...from time to time a study comes along that truly can be called ‘path breaking,’ ‘seminal,’ ‘essential,’ a ‘must read.’ How the Irish Became White is such a study.' John Bracey, W.E.B. Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies, University of Massachussetts, Amherst The Irish came to America in the eighteenth century, fleeing a homeland under foreign occupation and a caste system that regarded them as the lowest form of humanity. In the new country – a land of opportunity – they found a very different form of social hierarchy, one that was based on the color of a person’s skin. Noel Ignatiev’s 1995 book – the first published work of one of America’s leading and most controversial historians – tells the story of how the oppressed became the oppressors; how the new Irish immigrants achieved acceptance among an initially hostile population only by proving that they could be more brutal in their oppression of African Americans than the nativists. This is the story of How the Irish Became White.

Lucifer's Lodge
Author: William H. Kennedy
Publisher: Reviviscimus
ISBN: 9780900588068
Category : Child sexual abuse by clergy
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Many people are not only appalled but puzzled by the Catholic pedoplilia scandal. What could explain the Church's ongoing tendency to protect molesters, even after they have brought that institution to the brink of ruin? William H. Kennedy may have the answer: that behind some of the molestations lies a cabal of Satanists operating within the Catholic Church, sometimes with the protection of high Church officials. Fr. Malachi Martin (Windswept House; Hostage to the Devil), Fr. Charles Fiore (a traditional Catholic priest), and Fr. Alfred Kunz to investigate charges of pedophilia within the Catholic Church, years before the scandal broke. These men believed they had solid evidence that some of the pedophilia was the work of organized Satanists. Fr. Kunz who hosted the Catholic Family Hour radio program in Wisconsin through which he attempted to expose pedophile priests, was murdered in March of 1998, just before Fr. Fiore was to take over the program, effectively silencing both of them. In view of the recent publication of major reports on the Catholic pedophile scandal, which have left many victims unsatisfied, and increasing news coverage of priestly sexual abuse with ritualistic elements, no book could be more timely than Lucifer's Lodge.

Cultivating Music in America
Author: Ralph P. Locke
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520083950
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
"The Victorian cup on my shelf--a present from my mother--reads 'Love the Giver.' Is it because the very word patronage implies the authority of the father that we have treated American women patrons and activists so unlovingly in the writing of our own history? This pioneering collection of superb scholarship redresses that imbalance. At the same time it brilliantly documents the interrelationship between various aspects of gender and the creation of our own culture."--Judith Tick, author of Ruth Crawford Seeger: A Composer's Search for American Music "Together with the fine-grained and energetic research, I like the spirit of this book, which is ambitious, bold, and generous minded. Cultivating Music in America corrects long-standing prejudices, omissions, and misunderstandings about the role of women in setting up the structures of America's musical life, and, even more far-reaching, it sheds light on the character of American musical life itself. To read this book is to be brought to a fresh understanding of what is at stake when we discuss notions such as 'elitism, ' 'democratic taste, ' and the political and economic implications of art."--Richard Crawford, author of The American Musical Landscape "We all know we are indebted to royal patronage for the music of Mozart. But who launched American talent? The answer is women, this book teaches us. Music lovers will be grateful for these ten essays, sound in scholarship, that make a strong case for the women philanthropists who ought to join Carnegie and Rockefeller as household words as sponsors of music."--Karen J.

Tahiti Nui
Author: Colin W. Newbury
Publisher: University of Hawaii Press
ISBN: 0824880323
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
Tahiti Nui is an account of the survival of a Polynesian society in the face of successive settlements of missionaries, traders, and administrators. Beginning with the first explorers and Captain Cook's scientific observations at Point Venus, Dr. Newbury has separated the various strands interwoven in the fabric of Tahitian society, tracing their development and showing how they interacted at successive stages. Missionaries and foreign traders, administrators and Polynesians, planters and immigrant Chinese have all contributed to the distinctive flavor of French Polynesia, with Tahiti and Tahitians becoming increasingly dominant, not just as the focus of the French administration in Pape'ete, but in the social networks and trading patterns that have evolved.
