Download or read book Hooligan S Alley written by Joanna Kelly and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-02-28 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fueled with in-depth research and personal recollections, Hooligans Alley presents a historic novel embracing generations of early European immigrants and their amazing struggles. In the style of a novel, author Joanna Kelly tells the true story of Wilhelmina Huebner Metting, an orphaned farm girl who uprooted her life in Germany to search for an aunt living far away in America. Her quest took her to New Yorks infamous Hells Kitchen, an area of overcrowded slums, lumberyards, slaughterhouses, factories, and immigrants troubled by poverty and violence. There, seventeen-year-old Wilhelmina started a seamstress business and kept cows on a vacant city lot. Wilhelmina was, above all things, a passionate social reformer. She encountered American society first during the Civil War, a time of great social unrest. Her involvement with the Colored Orphan Asylum put her in the center of the New York City Draft Riots, the largest uprising in the history of the United States. Wilhelminas story inspired Kelly, who fleshed out the few hard facts she could find with a lovingly researched fictional visit to a long-lost time and place in Americas history. Joanna Kellydraws special strength from her Quaker faith as well as her insatiable thirst for history in writing her first novel, Hooligans Alley. She is a gifted writer who explores her love of music, wildflowers, and passion for family in weaving this remarkable series of adventures that will set your heart to racing, while stretching your own recollections and imagination. Hooligans Alley is a must-read for New Yorkers and history lovers, and everyone who cares about origins and family. E. Barrie Kavasch best-selling author of The Medicine Wheel Garden

Download or read book Face to the Village written by Tracy McDonald and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1924, the Bolshevik Party called on scholars, the police, the courts, and state officials to turn their attention to the villages of Russia. The subsequent campaign to 'face the countryside' generated a wealth of intelligence that fed into the regime's sense of alarmed conviction that the countryside was a space outside Bolshevik control. Richly rooted in archival sources, including local and central-level secret police reports, detailed cases of the local and provincial courts, government records, and newspaper reports, Face to the Village is a nuanced study of the everyday workings of the Russian village in the 1920s. Local-level officials emerge in Tracy McDonald's study as vital and pivotal historical actors, existing between the Party's expectations and peasant interests. McDonald's careful exposition of the relationships between the urban centre and the peasant countryside brings us closer to understanding the fateful decision to launch a frontal attack on the countryside in the fall of 1929 under the auspices of collectivization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was once part of a notorious group that visited football grounds around Britain. Meeting with the opposition fans for—well, let’s just say it wasn’t to share stories over a cup of tea and biscuits! I was also a very well-known doorman working the rave and city centre nightclubs. I have compiled some interesting scenarios that we encounter during our lives, and I will try to offer some help and advice, to anyone who is willing to listen. You’re in a situation where running is out the question and the only means of survival is to fight for your life. This is the situation you’ve been eagerly waiting for; how will you react? Will you stand and battle, which could result in a loss of life, or will you run and risk serious retribution? Whatever decision you make, represents the passing or failing of life’s Ten-Metre Walk. This is the distance between battle and bottle. It also represents the fight-or-flight syndrome, or a possible flatline in the local hospital. The situation faced is met by many doormen as well. “Shall we sort these lads out, or do we let them take the piss?” Either scenario is met with the Ten-Metre Walk. How will you make yours?

Download or read book No Enemies No Hatred written by Xiaobo Liu and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-02 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded on December 10, 2010, its recipient, Liu Xiaobo, was in Jinzhou Prison, serving an eleven-year sentence for what Beijing called “incitement to subvert state power.” In Oslo, actress Liv Ullmann read a long statement the activist had prepared for his 2009 trial. It read in part: “I stand by the convictions I expressed in my ‘June Second Hunger Strike Declaration’ twenty years ago—I have no enemies and no hatred. None of the police who monitored, arrested, and interrogated me, none of the prosecutors who indicted me, and none of the judges who judged me are my enemies.” That statement is one of the pieces in this book, which includes writings spanning two decades, providing insight into all aspects of Chinese life. These works not only chronicle a leading dissident’s struggle against tyranny but enrich the record of universal longing for freedom and dignity. Liu speaks pragmatically, yet with deep-seated passion, about peasant land disputes, the Han Chinese in Tibet, child slavery, the CCP’s Olympic strategy, the Internet in China, the contemporary craze for Confucius, and the Tiananmen massacre. Also presented are poems written for his wife, Liu Xia, public documents, and a foreword by Václav Havel. This collection is an aid to reflection for Western readers who might take for granted the values Liu has dedicated his life to achieving for his homeland.

Download or read book Hooligans Ultras Activists written by Radosław Kossakowski and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first comprehensive attempt to identify the deeper causes that have shaped contemporary behaviour patterns and motivations among football fans in Poland. Fan culture in Poland has long been based on a distinctively grassroots, spontaneous movements that ruled out any cooperation with local authorities and sports organizations. The activity of supporter groups has regularly failed to meet the principles set by official bodies, intentionally breaching the moral and legal standards of the day. Based on data derived from ethnographic fieldwork, content analysis of fan journals, magazines, social media and online forums, as well as a wide range of qualitative interviews conducted over the years, the book analyses the ways in which fandom culture in Poland has evolved: from its moderate beginnings in the shadows of a communist regime in the 1970’s, through the anomic, ‘uncivilized’ and pathological decade of the 1990’s, to the peculiar culture based on strong cohesion, capabilities of social mobilization and emerging 'resistance identity' in the 21st century. It thus provides a detailed analysis of Polish fandom’s multi-dimensional structure, and will be of interest to students and academics interested in the growing field of football research, as well as those researching the transformation of Central and Eastern Europe, or more generally in European Studies.
