Book excerpt: Keith A. Owens"Detroit Stories is our attempt to expose both the beauty and the horror, the white hot friction of their coexistence that gave birth to an idea that some have mistaken for an illusion."Cornelius Fortune"Today, it's hip to reference Detroit because of this apparent resurgence everyone's talking about. Fair enough. With all this national attention, other outlets are telling our stories: outsiders looking in. But Detroiters - and those native to the city - are the voices really qualified to tell the tale. It's a view from the inside, from the idea factory, unfiltered. The cross-pollination of blue/white/collar/industrialization/technological wonder. It's chili fry grease on the paper bag. Westside and eastside like two twin star systems derived from the same node."Dr. Robert McTyre"Detroit's story; it's hearkening to something glorious and wonderful and always ALWAYS In the process of becoming. We ARE the timeless journey of discovering and rediscovering DETROIT." -

Download or read book The Way it was written by George Bulanda and published by Momentum Books LLC. This book was released on 2004 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The photos in this volume were culled from the back pages of Hour Detroit magazine, offering a representative glimpse back at the way Detroit was, from the earliest shot, 1880, to the most recent, 1987. "The Way It Was" is a popular feature with the magazine's readers, many of whom being reading each issue from the back page first. Some readers recall events or buildings because they lived through that particular time. Youthful readers, familiar only with a largely forlorn city, are frequently astounded by images of a town that once pulsated with energy. Most of these pictures don't depict important or cataclysmic moments in the city's history, although there are shots of famous people visiting Detroit, from John F. Kennedy speaking to a downtown crowd, to Frank Sinatra performing at Cobo Hall. But the majority are simply images capturing a time and place that are no more. In their spontaneity, they evoke life as it was lived.
Download or read book Detroit written by Scott Martelle and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detroit was established as a French settlement three-quarters of a century before the founding of this nation. A remote outpost built to protect trapping interests, it grew as agriculture expanded on the new frontier. Its industry leapt forward with the completion of the Erie Canal, which opened up the Great Lakes to the East Coast. Surrounded by untapped natural resources, Detroit turned iron into stoves and railcars, and eventually cars by the millions. This vibrant commercial hub attracted businessmen and labor organizers, European immigrants and African Americans from the rural South. At its heyday in the 1950s and ’60s, one in six American jobs were connected to the auto industry and Detroit. And then the bottom fell out. Detroit: A Biography takes a long, unflinching look at the evolution of one of America’s great cities, and one of the nation’s greatest urban failures. It seeks to explain how the city grew to become the heart of American industry and how its utter collapse resulted from a confluence of public policies, private industry decisions, and deep, thick seams of racism. This updated paperback edition includes recent developments under Michigan’s Emergency Manager law. And it raises the question: when we look at modern-day Detroit, are we looking at the ghost of America’s industrial past or its future? Scott Martelle is the author of The Fear Within and Blood Passion and is a professional journalist who has written for the Detroit News, the Los Angeles Times, the Rochester Times-Union, and more.

Download or read book All Our Yesterdays written by Frank Bury Woodford and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 1969 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All Our Yesterdays is the first history of the City of Detroit to be published in the last twenty-five years. It is an account based on extensive historical research, yet is written in such a style as to make interesting and enjoyable reading. The authors tell of the founding of the the town by the French, control by the British, and growth as an American city. These episodes are recounted in the words and deeds of the people who lived and worked here, men like Judge Woodward, Father Gabriel Richard, and Governor Lewis Cass. Here also are accounts of the expansion of the automobile industry, the days of the roaring twenties, prohibition, the great depression, World Wars I and II, and the city of the 1950s and 1960s. This is the story of a great city; a story of past deeds, present problems, and future hopes. But more important, this is a story by and about the people of Detroit, for it is the people that have made this city great.
Download or read book Theory for the World to Come written by Matthew J. Wolf-Meyer and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2019-04-15 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can social theories forge new paths into an uncertain future? The future has become increasingly difficult to imagine. We might be able to predict a few events, but imagining how looming disasters will coincide is simultaneously necessary and impossible. Drawing on speculative fiction and social theory, Theory for the World to Come is the beginning of a conversation about theories that move beyond nihilistic conceptions of the capitalism-caused Anthropocene and toward generative bodies of thought that provoke creative ways of thinking about the world ahead. Matthew J. Wolf-Meyer draws on such authors as Kim Stanley Robinson and Octavia Butler, and engages with afrofuturism, indigenous speculative fiction, and films from the 1970s and ’80s to help think differently about the future and its possibilities. Forerunners: Ideas First Short books of thought-in-process scholarship, where intense analysis, questioning, and speculation take the lead

Download or read book The Dead City written by Paul Dobraszczyk and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dead City unearths meanings from such depictions of ruination and decay, looking at representations of both thriving cities and ones which are struggling, abandoned or simply in transition. It reveals that ruination presents a complex opportunity to envision new futures for a city, whether that is by rewriting its past or throwing off old assumptions and proposing radical change. Seen in a certain light, for example, urban ruin and decay are a challenge to capitalist narratives of unbounded progress. They can equally imply that power structures thought to be deeply ingrained are temporary, contingent and even fragile. Examining ruins in Chernobyl, Detroit, London, Manchester and Varosha, this book demonstrates that how we discuss and depict urban decline is intimately connected to the histories, economic forces, power structures and communities of a given city, as well as to conflicting visions for its future.

Download or read book Dictionary of Midwestern Literature Volume 1 written by Philip A. Greasley and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2001-05-30 with total page 980 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dictionary of Midwestern Literature, Volume One, surveys the lives and writings of nearly 400 Midwestern authors and identifies some of the most important criticism of their writings. The Dictionary is based on the belief that the literature of any region simultaneously captures the experience and influences the worldview of its people, reflecting as well as shaping the evolving sense of individual and collective identity, meaning, and values. Volume One presents individual lives and literary orientations and offers a broad survey of the Midwestern experience as expressed by its many diverse peoples over time.Philip A. Greasley's introduction fills in background information and describes the philosophy, focus, methodology, content, and layout of entries, as well as criteria for their inclusion. An extended lead-essay, "The Origins and Development of the Literature of the Midwest," by David D. Anderson, provides a historical, cultural, and literary context in which the lives and writings of individual authors can be considered.This volume is the first of an ambitious three-volume series sponsored by the Society for the Study of Midwestern Literature and created by its members. Volume Two will provide similar coverage of non-author entries, such as sites, centers, movements, influences, themes, and genres. Volume Three will be a literary history of the Midwest. One goal of the series is to build understanding of the nature, importance, and influence of Midwestern writers and literature. Another is to provide information on writers from the early years of the Midwestern experience, as well as those now emerging, who are typically absent from existing reference works.
