Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuisine and Culture presents a multicultural and multiethnic approach that draws connections between major historical events and how and why these events affected and defined the culinary traditions of different societies. Witty and engaging, Civitello shows how history has shaped our diet--and how food has affected history. Prehistoric societies are explored all the way to present day issues such as genetically modified foods and the rise of celebrity chefs. Civitello's humorous tone and deep knowledge are the perfect antidote to the usual scholarly and academic treatment of this universally important subject.

Download or read book Landfall Press written by Thomas Cvikota and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years in the making, Landfall Press: Five Decades tells the story of one of America's most renowned printer-publishers. It also tells the story of its remarkable founder, Jack Lemon, whose half-century journey to build a business predicated on collaborative relationships is part biography and part business plan laid bare. The book is based on interviews with Lemon, which provide personal and often profound insights into his journey and Landfall's history. Lemon's passion for printmaking, especially lithography, was ignited during his studies at the Kansas City Art Institute (KCAI) and further kindled during his training at the Tamarind Institute of Lithography. Soon after completing his Tamarind training, Lemon founded and directed two celebrated lithography workshops at KCAI and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, respectively. The opportunity to establish his own printshop presented itself in 1970. That year, gallerist Allan Frumkin convinced Lemon to open his own shop in Chicago, for which Frumkin would serve as backer. Lemon agreed, and Landfall Press was born.Over the next fifty years, Landfall Press would go on to collaborate with a wide array of established and emerging artists, including: Vito Acconci, Terry Allen, Robert Arneson, Roger Brown, Judy Chicago, Christo, Chuck Close, Robert Cottingham, Lesley Dill, James Drake, Peregrine Honig, Tom Huck, Luis Jiménez, Allen Jones, Ellen Lanyon, Claes Oldenburg, Dennis Oppenheim, Ed Paschke, Philip Pearlstein, Jeanette Pasin Sloan, Pat Steir, Kara Walker, H. C. Westermann, and William T. Wiley. These collaborations resulted in some 3,500 unique projects in lithography, etching, woodcut, and photogravure, encompassing not only individual prints but also books, three-dimensional multiples, and even music publishing. Uniting this diverse output is Landfall's unique commitment to collaboration, innovation, and excellence--in Lemon's words, "the Landfall way."Featuring hundreds of illustrations, including many previously unpublished workshop photographs, Landfall Press: Five Decades is the definitive account of Landfall and its significant collaborations with artists whose prints, multiples, and editions have come to define the art of contemporary printmaking. A traveling exhibition is being held in conjunction with the book, beginning at the Milwaukee Art Museum in 2019 and concluding in 2025.

Download or read book Sojourners and Settlers written by Clarence E. Glick and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2017-04-30 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the many groups of Chinese who migrated from their ancestral homeland in the nineteenth century, none found a more favorable situation that those who came to Hawaii. Coming from South China, largely as laborers for sugar plantations and Chinese rice plantations but also as independent merchants and craftsmen, they arrived at a time when the tiny Polynesian kingdom was being drawn into an international economic, political, and cultural world. Sojourners and Settlers traces the waves of Chinese immigration, the plantation experience, and movement into urban occupations. Important for the migrants were their close ties with indigenous Hawaiians, hundreds establishing families with Hawaiian wives. Other migrants brought Chinese wives to the islands. Though many early Chinese families lived in the section of Honolulu called "Chinatown," this was never an exclusively Chinese place of residence, and under Hawaii's relatively open pattern of ethnic relations Chinese families rapidly became dispersed throughout Honolulu. Chinatown was, however, a nucleus for Chinese business, cultural, and organizational activities. More than two hundred organizations were formed by the migrants to provide mutual aid, to respond to discrimination under the monarchy and later under American laws, and to establish their status among other Chinese and Hawaii's multiethnic community. Professor Glick skillfully describes the organizational network in all its subtlety. He also examines the social apparatus of migrant existence: families, celebrations, newspapers, schools--in short, the way of life. Using a sociological framework, the author provides a fascinating account of the migrant settlers' transformation from villagers bound by ancestral clan and tradition into participants in a mobile, largely Westernized social order.

Download or read book The Persian Revival written by Talinn Grigor and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most heated scholarly controversies of the early twentieth century, the Orient-or-Rome debate turned on whether art historians should trace the origin of all Western—and especially Gothic—architecture to Roman ingenuity or to the Indo-Germanic Geist. Focusing on the discourses around this debate, Talinn Grigor considers the Persian Revival movement in light of imperial strategies of power and identity in British India and in Qajar-Pahlavi Iran. The Persian Revival examines Europe’s discovery of ancient Iran, first in literature and then in art history. Tracing Western visual discourse about ancient Iran from 1699 on, Grigor parses the invention and use of a revivalist architectural style from the Afsharid and Zand successors to the Safavid throne and the rise of the Parsi industrialists as cosmopolitan subjects of British India. Drawing on a wide range of Persian revival narratives bound to architectural history, Grigor foregrounds the complexities and magnitude of artistic appropriations of Western art history in order to grapple with colonial ambivalence and imperial aspirations. She argues that while Western imperialism was instrumental in shaping high art as mercantile-bourgeois ethos, it was also a project that destabilized the hegemony of a Eurocentric historiography of taste. An important reconsideration of the Persian Revival, this book will be of vital interest to art and architectural historians and intellectual historians, particularly those working in the areas of international modernism, Iranian studies, and historiography.
