Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dearest Spot on Earth Home, Sweet Home How did the world live without it so long What immeasurable solace and sweetness it has added to life during these last seventy-five years! Looked at from this distance, Clari, or the Maid of Milan, of which the song was a part, was a divinely inspired opera. Home, Sweet Home is a language of itself. It is a kind of Esperanto of the soul in which men, strangers to each other, may unite in common worship, he of the cottage and he of the palace, each kneeling at the shrine set up in his own hallowed memory. It is one of those songs that help to make democracy. Its passion is a common one, recogniz ing neither border, nor breed, nor birth. Let our country sing it more and more!

The corruption and imbecility of our officials will grow upon us, until the press is aroused to take up the work and apply the cautery.

Download or read book Border Songs written by Jim Lynch and published by Random House Canada. This book was released on 2010-07-06 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brandon Vanderkool’s severe dyslexia and six-foot-eight height give him an unusual perspective on his new job with the American Border Patrol, along the Washington/BC border — just a long, grassy ditch, really, barely dividing neighbours who used to be as congenial as those in any small community. Though his curious mind proves surprisingly adept at intercepting Canadian pot smugglers and potentially dangerous illegals, years of security hysteria and cross-border resentment — and a fascinating young Canadian who has turned her green thumb to a more lucrative crop — complicate Brandon’ s world in ways even he might not be able to see past. Border Songs is that rare delight: a gently satirical portrait, an extraordinary love story and a celebration of the coincidental and the miraculous.

Download or read book Trampling Out the Vintage written by Frank Bardacke and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2012-10-09 with total page 857 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first-ever comprehensive history of the rise and fall of the United Farm Workers and its infamous leader, Cesar Chavez—"one of the most attractive and charismatic figures U.S. politics has produced” (The Guardian). In its heyday, the United Farm Workers was an embodiment of its slogan “Yes, we can”—in the form “¡Sí, Se Puede!”—winning many labor victories, securing collective bargaining rights for farm workers, and becoming a major voice for the Latino community. Today, it is a mere shadow of its former self. Trampling Out the Vintage is the authoritative and award-winning account of the rise and fall of the United Farm Workers and its most famous and controversial leader, Cesar Chavez. Based interviews conducted over many years—with farm workers, organizers, and the opponents and friends of the UFW—the book tells a story of collective action and empowerment rich in evocative detail and stirring human interest. Beginning with the influence of the ideas of Saul Alinsky and Catholic Social Action at the union’s founding, through the UFW’s thrilling triumphs in the California fields, the drama concludes with the debilitating internal struggles that effectively crippled the union. A vivid rendering of farm work and the world of the farm worker, Trampling Out the Vintage is a dramatic reappraisal of the political trajectory of Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers and an essential re-evaluation of their most tumultuous years.
