Download or read book The Nation That Never Was written by Kermit Roosevelt and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-06-24 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Persuasively argues that we must liberate ourselves from our sentimentalized attachment to the ‘Founders’ and even the Declaration of Independence” --Sanford Levinson, author of Our Undemocratic Constitution There’s a common story we tell about America: that our fundamental values as a country were stated in the Declaration of Independence, fought for in the Revolution, and made law in the Constitution. But, with the country increasingly divided, this story isn’t working for us anymore—what’s more, it’s not even true. As Kermit Roosevelt argues in this eye-opening reinterpretation of the American story, our fundamental values, particularly equality, are not part of the vision of the Founders. Instead, they were stated in Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address and were the hope of Reconstruction, when it was possible to envision the emergence of the nation committed to liberty and equality. We face a dilemma these days. We want to be honest about our history and the racism and oppression that Americans have both inflicted and endured. But we want to be proud of our country, too. In The Nation That Never Was, Roosevelt shows how we can do both those things by realizing we’re not the country we thought we were. Reconstruction, Roosevelt argues, was not a fulfillment of the ideals of the Founding but rather a repudiation: we modern Americans are not the heirs of the Founders but of the people who overthrew and destroyed that political order. This alternate understanding of American identity opens the door to a new understanding of ourselves and our story, and ultimately to a better America. “An inspiring reexamination of America's past.” —Publishers Weekly “Compelling and well worth consideration.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Download or read book The Baseball Film written by Aaron Baker and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-14 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baseball has long been viewed as the Great American Pastime, so it is no surprise that the sport has inspired many Hollywood films and television series. But how do these works depict the game, its players, fans, and place in American society? This study offers an extensive look at nearly one hundred years of baseball-themed movies, documentaries, and TV shows. Film and sports scholar Aaron Baker examines works like A League of their Own (1992) and Sugar (2008), which dramatize the underrepresented contributions of female and immigrant players, alongside classic baseball movies like The Natural that are full of nostalgia for a time when native-born white men could use the game to achieve the American dream. He further explores how biopics have both mythologized and demystified such legendary figures as Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jackie Robinson and Fernando Valenzuela. The Baseball Film charts the variety of ways that Hollywood presents the game as integral to American life, whether showing little league as a site of parent-child bonding or depicting fans’ lifelong love affairs with their home teams. Covering everything from Bull Durham (1988) to The Bad News Bears (1976), this book offers an essential look at one of the most cinematic of all sports.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading "Realizing the Answer" gives a special look and insight into the struggles and the triumphs that were experienced due to involvement in the development of a dream by one and how it can be used to positively impact so many others. It is my hope that this book offers encouragement to those who are seeking to become "mentors". It is also hoped that this book is beneficial to those who are willing to dream simply because they have faith which says that dreams do come true. The intent of this work is to offer hope for change in this country that is long overdue. The change that I speak of asserts that we must be willing to help others without having any motivations or expectations of rewards or immediate benefits for doing so. More-over, we must be willing to do more simply because it is the morally and ethically correct thing to do. Hopefully, the outcomes will indicate success in the life of a child for the overall good of mankind, even if it means helping one child at a time.
