Book excerpt: BOHEMIAN REVIEW ENTERS UPON SECOND YEAR Much has happened, since the first issue of the Bohemian Review came out. A year ago the United States was still neutral, and though thoughtful men foresaw the necessity of our active participation, few imagined that January, 1918, would see hundreds of thousands of American boys under arms in France. We are at war both with Germany and its vassal, Austria-Hungary. Peace it not yet in sight, in fact it seems to be as far away as it was a year ago; but this much is certain that the most powerful voice in the settlement of affairs, after the guns shall have been silenced, will be the voice of the United States. If there were reasons a year ago to call into being this little review that it might advocate the claims of Bohemia to freedom, there are many more reasons today to keep it alive and to widen its usefulness. We said in the first issue: "To earn the sympathy and good will of America for the struggles of Czechs and Slovaks toward freedom will be the main purpose of the Bohemian Review." How vastly more important to the Czechs and Slovaks is the sympathy and good will of America now that this premiere republic of the world has staked its all on the defeat of the Central Empires, and how difficult it is to gain over the United States. Not because the American people are indifferent to the struggles of a brave nation for freedom, but because this country is so big, because the causes which claim the attention of the people are so many, and because this little monthly has so far reached only a few of the influential citizens whose sympathies and active help we want to enlist. You can help in this work. Renew your own subscription so that the necessary expenses of publication may be defrayed. And then subscribe the Review for someone who ought to read it. Your local newspaper editor ought to have it; very likely he will reprint occasionally some news item or argument which will inform thousands of his readers what the Bohemians are doing for the cause of the Allies and for their own liberation. The Bohemian Review ought to be in your public library and in the university library, where it would be seen by many. It ought to be sent to men of influence in your town that they may know who the Czechs and Slovaks are and learn to distinguish them from Austrians and Hungarians. At this time, when our unnaturalized people are classed as alien enemies, it is more than ever desirable that local authorities all over the United States should be informed of the absolute loyalty of Czechoslovaks to the cause of America. Help to have the Bohemian Review read, and you will help both the people of Bohemia and the Bohemian and Slovak residents of the United States. -The Bohemian Review, Vol. 2 [1918]

Download or read book The Bohemian Ethos written by Judith R. Halasz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The iconoclastic ingenuity of bohemians, from Gerard de Nerval to Allen Ginsberg, continually captivates the popular imagination; the worlds of fashion, advertising, and even real estate all capitalize on the alternative appeal of bohemian style. Persistently overlooked, however, is bohemians' distinctive relationship to work. In this book, sociologist Judith R. Halasz examines the fascinating junctures between bohemian labor and life. Weaving together historiography, ethnography, and personal experiences of having been raised amidst downtown New York's bohemian communities, Halasz deciphers bohemians' unconventional behaviors and attitudes towards employment and the broader work world. From the nineteenth-century harbingers on Paris' Left Bank to the Beats, Underground, and more recent bohemian outcroppings on New York's Lower East Side, The Bohemian Ethos traces the embodiment of a politically charged yet increasingly precarious form of cultural resistance to hegemonic social and economic imperatives.
Download or read book The Price of Freedom written by Piotr S. Wandycz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Price of Freedom surveys and explains the fascinating and intricate history of East Central Europe - the present day countries of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. Taking a thematic approach, the author explores such issues and controversies as the tension between the industrial developed West and the agrarian East Central Europe, the rise of modern nationalism, democracy and authoritarianism and Communism. While the countries of East Central Europe have differed dramatically from one another, the author asserts that they have been bound by a certain community of fate. These comparisons are traced through the Middle Ages and the Early Modern era to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This exploration reveals that it is no accident that the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland were the first among the former Soviet bloc nations to be admitted to NATO, and are likely to become the first members of the expanded European Union. Thus an understanding of their experiences, contributions and their place within the European community of nations vastly enriches our knowledge of Europe's past and present.The second edition of this distinguished book brings the history of the region up to date. It discusses the events of the post-communist decade of the 1990s and the problems resulting from the transition to democracy and market economy.
Download or read book Freedom in the World 2011 written by Freedom House and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 862 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freedom in the World, the Freedom House flagship survey whose findings have been published annually since 1972, is the standard-setting comparative assessment of global political rights and civil liberties. The survey ratings and narrative reports on 194 countries and 14 territories are used by policymakers, the media, international corporations, civic activists, and human rights defenders to monitor trends in democracy and track improvements and setbacks in freedom worldwide. The Freedom in the World political rights and civil liberties ratings are determined through a multi-layered process of research and evaluation by a team of regional analysts and eminent scholars. The analysts used a broad range of sources of information, including foreign and domestic news reports, academic studies, nongovernmental organizations, think tanks, individual professional contacts, and visits to the region, in conducting their research. The methodology of the survey is derived in large measure from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and these standards are applied to all countries and territories, irrespective of geographical location, ethnic or religious composition, or level of economic development.
Download or read book International Bohemia written by Daniel Cottom and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-04-08 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did this vagabond word, bohemia, migrate across national borderlines over the course of the nineteenth century, and what happened to it as it traveled? In International Bohemia, Daniel Cottom studies how various individuals and groups appropriated this word to serve the identities, passions, cultural forms, politics, and histories they sought to animate. Beginning with the invention of bohemianism's modern sense in Paris during the 1830s and 1840s, Cottom traces the twists and turns of this phenomenon through the rest of the nineteenth century and into the early years of the twentieth century in the United States, England, Italy, Spain, and Germany. Even when they traveled under the banner of l'art pour l'art, the bohemians of this era generally saw little reason to observe borderlines between their lives and their art. On the contrary, they were eager to mix up the one with the other, despite the fact that their critics often reproached them on this account by claiming that bohemians were all talk—do-nothings frittering away their lives in cafés and taverns. Cottom's study of bohemianism draws from the biographies of notable and influential figures of the time, including Thomas Chatterton, George Sand, George Eliot, Henry Murger, Alexandre Privat d'Anglemont, Walt Whitman, Ada Clare, Iginio Ugo Tarchetti, and Arthur Conan Doyle. Through a wide range of novels, memoirs, essays, plays, poems, letters, and articles, International Bohemia explores the many manifestations of this transnational counterculture, addressing topics such as anti-Semitism, the intersections of race and class, the representation of women, the politics of art and masquerade, the nature of community, and the value of nostalgia.

Download or read book Borders and Freedom of Movement in the Holy Roman Empire written by Luca Scholz and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-16 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Holy Roman Empire 'no prince... can forbid men passage in the common road', wrote the English jurist John Selden. In practice, moving through one the most fractured landscapes in human history was rarely as straightforward as suggested by Selden's account of the German 'liberty of passage'. Across the Old Reich, mobile populations-from emperors to peasants-defied attempts to channel their mobility with actions ranging from mockery to bloodshed. In this study, Luca Scholz charts this contentious ordering of movement through the lens of safe conduct, an institution that was common throughout the early modern world but became a key framework for negotiating freedom of movement and its restriction in the Empire. Borders and Freedom of Movement in the Holy Roman Empire draws on sources discovered in twenty archives, from newly unearthed drawings to first-hand accounts by peasants, princes, and prisoners. Scholz's maps shift the focus from the border to the thoroughfare to show that controls of moving goods and people were rarely concentrated at borders before the mid-eighteenth century. Uncovering a forgotten chapter in the history of free movement, the author presents a new look at the unstable relationship of political authority and human mobility in the heartlands of old-regime Europe.
