Book Fear and Conventionality

Download or read book Fear and Conventionality written by Elsie Clews Parsons and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fear and Conventionality So wont are we by way of disclaimer to call a man in a fit of temper or lust a beast or a savage that likenesses of another kind between us and other creatures, essential likenesses, too, we overlook. Like other expressions of racial pride, this particular trick of castigation dulls our observation, and even leads us astray; for is it not in our reputed virtues rather than in our crying vices that we most resemble our so-called inferiors, beast or savage, in our orderly habits rather than in our lapses? Are not we all of us extremely conservative and usually far more staid than passionate? To all of us, to the animal, to the savage, and to the civilized being few experiences are as uncomfortable or painful, as disquieting or fearful, as the call to innovate! Adaptations we all of us dislike or hate. We dodge or shirk them as best we may. And we have protected ourselves against having to make them as well as we could.

Download or read book Wealth and Rebellion written by Rosemary Lévy Zumwalt and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boss-lady had a unique position in Boss-man's, an old, retired, pimp's, whorehouse. She was the madam in charge of keeping the girls on their toes, or backs, as it were. And to top things off, Boss-man had given her permission to throw weekly parties in which she was allowed to freak with any of the women she chose. She being a recently released lesbian from prison, took full advantage of Boss's gratuity.Everything was running fine until the elderly Boss-man suffered a fatal heart attack, some saying, because of the pressure he was under to sell the Mob's dope, which they forced on him, and he didn't know how to handle, while fearing the wrath of the organization if he messed up.Immediately after the death of Boss-man, Lady, while grieving his loss, wasn't sure she could fill his shoes. But with the aid of Old Ben, one of Boss's life long friends, and barber shop owner, she pulled herself together and managed to keep the whorehouse open, even getting more girls to join her stable.Once Boss-lady found her feet, she became unsatisfied with only running one place. She was ambitious. She, while using money Boss-man left her, purchased another house and hired another, retired, pimp, to run it.The question is, would her ambition be the catalyst, which would bring her criminal life crashing down on her head?

Book Heretics and Hellraisers

Download or read book Heretics and Hellraisers written by Margaret C. Jones and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-01-27 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Masses was the most dynamic and influential left-wing magazine of the early twentieth century, a touchstone for understanding radical thought and social movements in the United States during that era. As a magazine that supported feminist issues, it played a crucial role in shaping public discourse about women's concerns. Women editors, fiction writers, poets, and activists like Mary Heaton Vorse, Louise Bryant, Adriana Spadoni, Elsie Clews Parsons, Inez Haynes Gillmore, and Helen Hull contributed as significantly to the magazine as better-known male figures. In this major revisionist work, Margaret C. Jones calls for reexamination of the relevance of Masses feminism to that of the 1990s. She explores women contributors' perspectives on crucial issues: patriarchy, birth control, the labor movement, woman suffrage, pacifism, and ethnicity. The book includes numerous examples of the writings and visual art of Masses women and a series of biographical/bibliographical sketches designed to aid other researchers.

Book The Problem of Pleasure

Download or read book The Problem of Pleasure written by Carol Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tourism and leisure industries are big business. Opportunities for leisure and tourism have escalated as disposable income, technology, travel and education have become increasingly available in recent times. However, this trend has been juxtaposed with an increase in crime, particularly since the early the 1950s. Acquisitive crimes have been facilitated with the development of more portable and valuable commodities; some activities, such as drink driving and disorder, have now been socially defined as crimes and are more readily identified through new technology such as the increasing use of CCTV. The Problem of Pleasure covers them all. The purpose of this book is to inform and enlighten a range of readers, whose interests may be academic or commercial on possible crime events and modus operandi of criminals. The book has a global perspective, bringing together leading academics from the UK, the US, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand who examine several aspects of leisure that are vulnerable to crime, from illegal hunting to street racing, as well as the impact of crime upon tourists and the tourism industry. This book will be a key text for students of tourism and leisure as well as criminology and sociology; people working in the tourism and recreation industry; policy makers and the police.
