Download or read book After the War written by David B. Sachsman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the War presents a panoramic view of social, political, and economic change in post-Civil War America by examining its journalism, from coverage of politics and Reconstruction to sensational reporting and images of the American people. The changes in America during this time were so dramatic that they transformed the social structure of the country and the nature of journalism. By the 1870s and 1880s, new kinds of daily newspapers had developed. New Journalism eventually gave rise to Yellow Journalism, resulting in big-city newspapers that were increasingly sensationalistic, entertaining, and designed to attract everyone. The images of the nation’s people as seen through journalistic eyes, from coverage of immigrants to stories about African American "Black fiends" and Native American "savages," tell a vibrant story that will engage scholars and students of history, journalism, and media studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ingenious, dystopian novel of one young woman’s resistance against the constraints of an oppressive society, from the inventive imagination of Joyce Carol Oates “Time travel” — and its hazards—are made literal in this astonishing new novel in which a recklessly idealistic girl dares to test the perimeters of her tightly controlled (future) world and is punished by being sent back in time to a region of North America — “Wainscotia, Wisconsin”—that existed eighty years before. Cast adrift in time in this idyllic Midwestern town she is set upon a course of “rehabilitation”—but cannot resist falling in love with a fellow exile and questioning the constrains of the Wainscotia world with results that are both devastating and liberating. Arresting and visionary, Hazards of Time Travel is both a novel of harrowing discovery and an exquisitely wrought love story that may be Joyce Carol Oates’s most unexpected novel so far.

Download or read book Grey Eagles of Chippewa Falls The A Hidden History of a Women s Ku Klux Klan in Wisconsin written by John E. Kinville and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2020 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on never-before-seen materials, author John E. Kinville unfolds the complex legacy of Women's Klan no.14 aka the Grey Eagles of Chippewa Falls. In the xenophobic atmosphere of the 1920s and 1930s, Ku Klux Klan activity spiked in Wisconsin and gave rise to Women's Klan no. 14, also known as the Grey Eagles of Chippewa Falls. Against a national backdrop that saw the male and female Klan hurl its collective might into influencing presidential elections and federal legislation, quotidian matters often stole the attention of the Grey Eagles. For every minute spent upholding Prohibition and blocking Catholic Al Smith's path to the White House, they spent two raising funds for their order and helping neighbors in need. What unfolds in Kinville's work is the complex legacy of these Chippewa Falls women who struggled to balance their noble intentions against the malicious ideology of the Klan.

This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to Wisconsin Newspapers, 1833-1957 The newspaper in America occupies a singular place in our civilization. With the church, school, and general store, it has served as arbiter of men and events; it uniquely serves as scribe to the passing scene. Its value as a primary source for social history has been obscured by such faults as nostrum promotion, syndicated columns, and inaccurate reporting. But for thousands of lonely communities, untouched by greatness or importance, the local newspaper is the best and only historical record.
