Download or read book The Shameful Peace written by Frederic Spotts and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-12-09 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The German occupation of France from 1940 to 1945 presented wrenching challenges for the nation's artists and intellectuals. Some were able to flee the country; those who remained—including Gide and Céline, Picasso and Matisse, Cortot and Messiaen, and Cocteau and Gabin—responded in various ways. This fascinating book is the first to provide a full account of how France's artistic leaders coped under the crushing German presence. Some became heroes, others villains; most were simply survivors. Filled with anecdotes about the artists, composers, writers, filmmakers, and actors who lived through the years of occupation, the book illuminates the disconcerting experience of life and work within a cultural prison. Frederic Spotts uncovers Hitler's plan to pacify the French through an active cultural life, and examines the unexpected vibrancy of opera, ballet, painting, theater, and film in both the Occupied and Vichy Zones. In view of the longer-term goal to supplant French with German culture, Spotts offers moving insight into the predicament of French artists as they fought to preserve their country's cultural and national identity.

Download or read book The Shameful State written by Sony Labou Tansi and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-03 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in a fictitious African nation, this novel by the distinguished writer Sony Labou Tansi takes aim at the corruption, degeneracy, violence, and repression of political life in Africa. At the heart of The Shameful State is the story of Colonel Martillimi Lopez, the nation's president, whose eccentricity and whims epitomize the "shameful situation in which humanity has elected to live." Lopez stages a series of grotesque and barbaric events while his nation falls apart. Unable to resist the dictator's will, his desperate citizens are left with nothing but humiliation. The evocation of this deranged world is a showcase for the linguistic and stylistic inventiveness that are the hallmark of Sony Labou Tansi's work. This first English translation by Dominic Thomas includes a foreword by Congolese writer Alain Mabanckou that contextualizes the novel's importance in literary history and the significance of Sony Labou Tansi for future generations of writers.

Book excerpt: The two myths: Gene Ronzani and Lisle Blackbourn each resigned from being the head coach of the Green Bay Packers.The truth: both were fired, and the Packer organization to this day continues to deny that both were dismissed; one because of his ethnic background and the other because he tried to do the job he was hired to do.This fourth volume in the series on the history of the Green Bay Packers reveals the truth behind the headlines of the 1950s. After having fought for three decades for survival in a league consisting of big city teams, the Packers finally achieved financial solvency and even growth, only to have this incredible feat soiled by underhanded dealings by the corporation's executive committee.Not all was rotten in Bay City. The Packers did make some remarkable strides in the '50s, the most memorable being the construction of a new stadium, which the corporation partially financed with the taxpayers of the city of Green Bay. The Packers got their new stadium despite some wheeling-and-dealing by the corporation's own president that might have cost Green Bay its franchise in the NFL.Once again the Packers survived the turmoil within the NFL and in their own back yard. They appealed to the fans of Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for more money through a stock sale, then they appealed to the voters and taxpayers of Green Bay for a new stadium. In both cases, they received overwhelming support.On the field, the Packers went through a trio of coaches from 1950 through 1958. Gene Ronzani had the unenviable task of rebuilding a team that had been decimated by the Pro Football War between the NFL and the AAC. Wisconsin native son Lisle Blackbourn was hired away from his job as head coach at Marquette University to replace Ronzani. Ray ''Scooter'' McLean, an assistant under both Ronzani and Blackbourn, was given the top post in 1958.

Download or read book The Shame of the Nation written by Jonathan Kozol and published by Crown. This book was released on 2006-08-01 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1980s, when the federal courts began dismantling the landmark ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, segregation of black children has reverted to its highest level since 1968. In many inner-city schools, a stick-and-carrot method of behavioral control traditionally used in prisons is now used with students. Meanwhile, as high-stakes testing takes on pathological and punitive dimensions, liberal education has been increasingly replaced by culturally barren and robotic methods of instruction that would be rejected out of hand by schools that serve the mainstream of society. Filled with the passionate voices of children, principals, and teachers, and some of the most revered leaders in the black community, The Shame of the Nation pays tribute to those undefeated educators who persist against the odds, but directly challenges the chilling practices now being forced upon our urban systems. In their place, Kozol offers a humane, dramatic challenge to our nation to fulfill at last the promise made some 50 years ago to all our youngest citizens.

Book excerpt: Poignant, laugh-out-loud-funny, a must-read book for any woman who has ever felt like she just doesn't measure up.—Crystal Paine, New YorkTimes best-selling author Every woman is intimately acquainted with feelings of insecurity and inadequacy. Whether fueled by a culture of makeover shows, by the lingering memories of mean girls, or by events much more wounding to the soul, we can become so conditioned by self-doubt that it becomes our inner monologue. What we want is to be free of shame and comparison, to turn our uncertainty into a bold confidence. But to flourish in our own skin, we first have to rewrite the narrative. In this fearless, funny, and refreshingly relatable chronicle of her own metamorphosis from the insecurity that once held her captive, author Kayla Aimee unfolds the blueprint for women to: • Identify the deep-seated sources of our assumed inadequacy and replace them with steadfast truths of scriptural affirmation • Replace our need for approval with the enduring promise of acceptance • Uncover our purpose, unlock our potential, and celebrate the God-given gifts in our unique personality To every woman who longs for belonging, this journey through Kayla’s inviting prose, biblical promises, and journaling prompts will help guide her from restless insecurity to a beautiful becoming.
