Book excerpt: This volume offers a multidisciplinary approach to shaping and imposition of “formulas for betrayal” as a result of changing memory politics in post-war Europe. The contributors, who specialize in history, sociology, anthropology, memory studies, media studies and cultural studies, discuss the exertion of political control over memory (including the selection, imposition, silencing or ideological “twisting” of facts), the usage of “formulas for betrayal” in various cultural-political contexts, and the discursive framing of the betraying subject for the purpose of legitimizing various memory regimes and ideologies.

Download or read book Bobo Newsom written by Jim McConnell and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-11-26 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For three decades, Louis Norman "Bobo" Newsom (1907-1962) was one of the most well-known pitchers in baseball. Frequently quoted by sportswriters, he appeared in all the popular sports publications as well as on Wheaties boxes and bubblegum cards, and was the undisputed star of the 1940 World Series. Despite his success, he was sold or traded 14 times during his 20-year career. He pitched for nine of 16 Major League teams--including five stints with the Washington Senators--and made sports headlines nearly every year for holding out, being suspended or traded. In an era when players seldom changed teams more than once and rarely defied authority, Newsom seemed always at odds with the powers that be. Drawing on interviews with family, friends and former teammates, this first full-length biography of Newsom takes an entertaining look at the life and career of one of sports' most memorable characters. Despite his nickname and nonstop antics, Bobo was much more than a clown, and gave more to the game than he ever got from it.

Download or read book The World of Jak Smyrl written by Joan A. Inabinet and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2020-02-27 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I was just a poor artist. I couldn't afford a 'C.'" This quip by Jak Smyrl, born Oscar Jackson Smyrl, Jr., in Camden, South Carolina, captures all the charm, humility, and humor of a one-of-a-kind character, beloved cartoonist, artist, and journalist who uniquely rendered his era and place with his pen, brushes, and words. In this long-overdue biography ranging from his humble beginnings to being honored by the South Carolina General Assembly "for his distinguished career as an artist" with thanks for "lightening the heart of uncounted South Carolinians," his life and legacy is honored, and his love for South Carolina is magnified. Warm and intimate, this is the story of a gentle and self-effacing man with an uncanny talent and a dry, whip-smart sense of humor that was never cruel but brought people together while enlarging their lives with pleasure. He discovered his talent while young and used it throughout his life to spotlight not only the foibles of the world around him but the goodness he found there as well. It was a good life, well lived yet not without its sorrows—but always infused with an admirable and infectious optimism, a hallmark of his character. From Smyrl's work illustrating members of his high school football team for a newspaper to his war experiences, and from his struggling-artist days as a student at the University of South Carolina and the Art Institute of Pittsburgh to landing his dream job, where he became "Jak" (without that "C"), as the first staff artist of the State newspaper in Columbia, South Carolina, Joan A. Inabinet and L. Glen Inabinet highlight excerpts from his letters and diaries that offer trenchant insights into the man and his times. Enhanced by photographs and Smyrl's illustrations, The World of Jak Smyrl presents a remarkable slice of small-town and rural southern life in the 1920s and 30s, moving on to the wider world and the turmoil of World War II through the turn of the millennium. Some artists' lives are worth chronicling because their unique vision and their works are fine-tuned to capturing the flavor of an era and its color—Jak Smyrl's life is one of these.

Download or read book University of La Verne written by Marlin Heckman and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 1891, Lordsburg College opened its doors to some 65 students in an unused, land-boom hotel in the new town of Lordsburg, California. As the decades passed, the college became one of the most prestigious institutions of Southern California. Detailed here in over 200 vintage images is the history of the University of La Verne, from its first degree granted in 1914, to the eve of its 110th anniversary. Described in its alma mater as "a dear favored spot, that shall ne'er be forgot," the University of La Verne has seen 3 name changes, 17 presidents, and over 40,000 alumni. The photographs in this volume chronicle the history of this grand institution, from the earliest buildings and dirt basketball courts of the late 19th century, to the new 2001 law school and wooden floors of the Supertents. Filled with diverse images from the University Archives, author Marlin Heckman compiles a visual heritage of the school that can be recognized by students and alumni alike, including the Women's Glee Club of the 30s, the origins of Build La Verne Day, Founders Hall, painting The Rock, and even Leo the Mascot.
