We Are the Caretakers
Author: Titus Pankey III
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1728351464
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
I believe that we have accomplished the goals that were set in that unaccredited school that we created. A majority of the forming members of that school are now corporate caretakers, educator and lawyer, entrepreneurs, developers, and investors. More than half of those from that school of sharecroppers are either multi-millionaires or mega-millionaires. From that school there is one husband and wife team who started with only fifty dollars saved from a share from three years of yearly sharecropper’s payout during the year nineteen-nineteen to a nineteen-thirty-four recorded net worth of over eighteen million dollars. It is good to conspire and plan when you are trying to determine which way you are going. It is also good to remember which direction that you have come from.

Barney
Author: Michael Rosenthal
Publisher: Skyhorse
ISBN: 1628726520
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
An impetuous outsider who delighted in confronting American hypocrisy and prudery, Barney Rosset liberated American culture from the constraints of Puritanism. As the head of Grove Press, he single-handedly broke down the laws against obscenity, changing forever the nature of writing and publishing in this country. He brought to the reading public the European avant-garde, among them Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter, radical political and literary voices such as Malcolm X, Che Guevara, and Jack Kerouac, steamy Victorian erotica, and banned writers such as D. H. Lawrence, Henry Miller, and William Burroughs. His almost mystical belief in the sacrosanct nature of the First Amendment essentially demarcates the before and after of American publishing. Barney explores how Grove's landmark legal victories freed publishers to print what they wanted, and it traces Grove's central role in the countercultural ferment of the sixties and early seventies. Drawing on the Rosset papers at Columbia University and personal interviews with former Grove Press staff members, friends, and wives, it tells the fascinating story of this feisty, abrasive, visionary, and principled cultural revolutionary—a modern "Huckleberry Finn" according to Nobel Prize–winning novelist Kenzaburo Oe—who altered the reading habits of a nation.
