Book excerpt: This book expounds values which the author styles 'patrician'. It is also a critique of distinctively 'plebeian' attitudes. These two terms refer to beliefs and responses which any individual may evince, regardless of social class. The main issues in life are within our own consciousness, not in the external world. Our experiences are fraught with symbolisms, noble and ignoble, which our free imagination can reveal and our choices select, in our endeavours to create a successful human identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book expounds a set of values that the author styles patrician. It is simultaneously a critique of plebeian attitudes to life. The figures of the patrician and the plebeian do not represent different social classes, but are rather personifications of sharply contrasting beliefs and responses that any individual may evince. Dr. Paterson argues that the main issues we face are within our own consciousness and are to be resolved by transforming our self-images, rather than by changing the external world. Our experiences are not mere brute occurrences but are pregnant with symbolism, which we can construe to reveal hope, opportunity and purposiveness, or meaninglessness, sterility and disenchantment. This we do through our feelings and emotions, but above all through the quality and intensity of our imagination.

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1987. Since Machiavelli, historians and political theorists have sought the sources of the stability that earned for Venice the appellation La Serenissima, the Most Serene Republic. In Patricians and Popolani, Dennis Romano looks to the private lives of early Renaissance Venetians for an explanation. Fourteenth-century Venice escaped the tumultuous upheavals of the other Italian city-republics, Romano contends, because the patricians and common people of the city did not divide sharply along class or factional lines in their personal associations. Rather, Venetians of the era moved in a variety of intersecting social networks that were shaped and influenced by an overriding sense of civic community. Drawing on the private archives of Venice—notarial registers, collections of testaments, and records of estates maintained by the procurators of San Marco—Romano analyzes the primary social bonds in the lives of the city's inhabitants. In separate chapters, Patricians and Popolani examines the forms of association in everyday Venetian life: marriage and family structure; artisan workshops and relations among tradesmen; the role of the parish clergy and the "sacred networks" that formed around convents, hospitals, and confraternities; and neighborhood and patron–client ties. By the beginning of the fifteenth century, Romano argues, all these networks of association had been transformed as a new hierarchical spirit took hold and overwhelmed the older, more freewheeling tendencies of Venetian society. The old sense of community yielded to a new and equally compelling sense of place, and La Serenissima remained stable throughout the later Renaissance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patricians in the Roman Empire provides a glimpse into the day-to-day lives of ancient Rome's ruling class. Emperors, senators, and generals wielded almost unimaginable power at the height of the empire, and their decisions shaped not just the people they ruled but the history of Rome. This book examines the consequences of that power, from the luxury of a patrician life to the power plays that could erase it all.
Download or read book The New York City Draft Riots written by Iver Bernstein and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1991-10-10 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For five days in July 1863, at the height of the Civil War, New York City was under siege. Angry rioters burned draft offices, closed factories, destroyed railroad tracks and telegraph lines, and hunted policemen and soldiers. Before long, the rioters turned their murderous wrath against the black community. In the end, at least 105 people were killed, making the draft riots the most violent insurrection in American history. In this vividly written book, Iver Bernstein tells the compelling story of the New York City draft riots. He details how what began as a demonstration against the first federal draft soon expanded into a sweeping assault against the local institutions and personnel of Abraham Lincoln's Republican Party as well as a grotesque race riot. Bernstein identifies participants, dynamics, causes and consequences, and demonstrates that the "winners" and "losers" of the July 1863 crisis were anything but clear, even after five regiments rushed north from Gettysburg restored order. In a tour de force of historical detection, Bernstein shows that to evaluate the significance of the riots we must enter the minds and experiences of a cast of characters--Irish and German immigrant workers, Wall Street businessmen who frantically debated whether to declare martial law, nervous politicians in Washington and at City Hall. Along the way, he offers new perspectives on a wide range of topics: Civil War society and politics, patterns of race, ethnic and class relations, the rise of organized labor, styles of leadership, philanthropy and reform, strains of individualism, and the rise of machine politics in Boss Tweed's Tammany regime. An in-depth study of one of the most troubling and least understood crises in American history, The New York City Draft Riots is the first book to reveal the broader political and historical context--the complex of social, cultural and political relations--that made the bloody events of July 1863 possible.
Download or read book The New American Anti Semitism written by Benjamin Ginsberg and published by Independent Institute. This book was released on 2024-02-19 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book could not be timelier. Benjamin Ginsberg uses his deep knowledge of Jewish history to show that Jews, long identified with leftwing causes, in many ways, are not natural allies of the left. A culture of separateness and high achievement make the Jews vulnerable to political pathologies from wherever they come— and two of the most destructive, anti-Zionism and wokeism, come from the left. With the help of fascinating detail, this book shows that Jews need neither right nor left but a society based on the universal values they brought into the world many centuries ago." — David Satter, author of Age of Delirium: The Decline and Fall of the Soviet Union The New American Anti-Semitism: The Left, the Right, and the Jews is a clarion call— not only to Jews, but to all Americans. As a nation, we must wake up and face the rising anti-Semitic threat and act accordingly. But that threat is not coming from its usual source. The most virulent form of anti-Semitism today, Ginsberg warns, is the result of toxic identity politics and anti-Israeli sentiment coming from today's political Left. Perhaps the most persecuted people in all of history, Jews have stood tall in the face of unprecedented persecution in all places, at all times. Their culture's rigorous emphasis on education and achievement catapults them, Ginsberg argues, to the upper echelons of the societies in which they live. But their success too often breeds resentment and jealousy, leading to an ugly anti-Semitism that has led, historically, to unspeakable violence. In this urgent new work, Dr. Benjamin Ginsberg— political scientist, professor, and bestselling author— exposes the ugly face of this new, progressive anti-Semitism (which is also thriving in Europe). To combat it, he urges American Jews to form new political alliances, particularly with evangelical Christians. The stakes of not doing so, says Ginsberg, are horrifically high— not only for the survival of the Jewish people, but for America's survival. After all, the Jews have contributed immeasurably to America's scientific, cultural, and economic achievements. Jews have been good for America; and America has been good to the Jews. But what once was so can change ... and Jews can never afford to forget their history. Read this book and learn: Why the Jews have always persisted in the face of persecution;Why the new face of Jewish persecution has found a home on university campuses, Left-leaning media outlets, and other unlikely places;The high and horrible costs of anti-Semitism;The profound benefits of philo-Semitism;The details of the new alliances that must be made to ensure the continuing success of American Jews— and America itself;And much, much more...In this must-read tour de force, Ginsberg enlightens readers by tracing the history of the Jewish people— starting from the children of Abraham and ending with Jews today— and urging all Jews and all Americans to learn the lessons of that history.

Download or read book Philadelphia written by John Lukacs and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unorthodox historian known and respected for his work on the grand conflicts of nations and civilizations, John Lukacs has peopled a smaller canvas in this volume, with seven colourful figures who flourished in Philadelphia before 1950. Their stories are framed by chapters that describe the city in 1900 and in 1950.The Philadelphians selected are a political boss, Boies Penrose; a magazine mogul, Edward Bok; an elegant writer, Agnes Repplier; an impetuous diplomat, William C. Bullitt; a lawyer, George Wharton Pepper; a prophet of decline, Owen Wister; and a great art collector, Albert C. Barnes. The political boss was perhaps the most monumental political figure of his age. The magazine mogul was the most famous embodiment of the American success story during his lifetime. The now almost forgotten writer was the Jane Austen of the essay. The diplomat was the most brilliant of ambassadors. The terrible-tempered collector was a radical proponent of his unusual theory of art.Through these seven portraits, Lukacs paints a picture of Philadelphia that is "like all living things, having the power to change out of recognition and yet remain the same." This work is a must read for all historiansand Philadelphians.
