Youth and Sexuality in the Twentieth-Century United States

Youth and Sexuality in the Twentieth-Century United States
John C. Spurlock, "Youth and Sexuality in the Twentieth-Century United States"
English | ISBN: 113881749X | 2015 | 172 pages | EPUB | 1349 KB
When did the sexual revolution happen? Most Americans would probably say the 1960s. In reality, young couples were changing the rules of public and private life for decades before. By the early years of the twentieth century, teenagers were increasingly free of adult supervision, and taking control of their sexuality in many ways. Dating, going steady, necking, petting, and cohabiting all provoked adult hand-wringing and advice, most of it ignored. By the time the media began announcing the arrival of a 'sexual revolution,' it had been going on for half a century.

Youth Culture, Popular Music and the End of 'Consensus'

Youth Culture, Popular Music and the End of 'Consensus'
The Subcultures Network, "Youth Culture, Popular Music and the End of 'Consensus'"
English | ISBN: 1138799920 | 2014 | 170 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
This book examines youth cultural responses to the political, economic and socio-cultural changes that affected Britain in the aftermath of the Second World War. In particular, it considers the extent to which elements of youth culture and popular music served to contest the notion of 'consensus' that historians and social commentators have suggested served to frame British polity from the late 1940s into the 1970s. The collection argues that aspects of youth culture appear to have revealed notable fault-lines in and across British society and provided alternative perspectives and reactions to the presumptions of mainstream political and cultural opinion in the period. This, perhaps, was most acute in the period leading up to and after the seemingly pivotal moment of Margaret Thatcher's election to prime minister in 1979.

Youth Activism in Egypt Islamism, Political Protest and Revolution

Youth Activism in Egypt Islamism, Political Protest and Revolution
Ahmed Tohamy, "Youth Activism in Egypt: Islamism, Political Protest and Revolution "
English | ISBN: 1780769210 | 2016 | 336 pages | EPUB | 1155 KB
In this book, Ahmed Tohamy analyses the often-neglected trajectory that led up to the protests in Egypt that culminated in the fall of Hosni Mubarak in February 2011. Tohamy's assertion is that by examining the decade preceding this momentous event, we see that the youth movement far from being inert was extremely active. Tohamy uses the Social Movements Theory to argue how Egyptian youth became a new agent of change in the Middle East. By positioning the youth activists as dynamically engaging with their social and political contexts within a framework of opportunities and constraints, his analysis strikes at the heart of the debates concerning the nature and substance of revolution and its effects on state and society."

Your Heritage Will Still Remain Racial Identity and Mississippi's Lost Cause

Your Heritage Will Still Remain Racial Identity and Mississippi's Lost Cause
Michael J. Goleman, "Your Heritage Will Still Remain: Racial Identity and Mississippi's Lost Cause"
English | ISBN: 1496830857 | 2021 | 186 pages | EPUB | 428 KB
Your Heritage Will Still Remain details how Mississippians, black and white, constructed their social identity in the aftermath of the crises that transformed the state beginning with the sectional conflict and ending in the late nineteenth century. Michael J. Goleman focuses primarily on how Mississippians thought of their place: as Americans, as Confederates, or as both. In the midst of secession, white Mississippians held firm to an American identity and easily transformed it into a Confederate identity venerating their version of American heritage. After the war, black Mississippians tried to etch their place within the Union and as part of transformed American society. Yet they continually faced white supremacist hatred and backlash. During Reconstruction, radical transformations within the state forced all Mississippians to embrace, deny, or rethink their standing within the Union.

You're nicked Investigating British television police series

You're nicked Investigating British television police series
Ben Lamb, "You're nicked: Investigating British television police series "
English | ISBN: 1526125854 | 2019 | 232 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
You're nicked is the first comprehensive study of television police series in the UK. It shows how British television's most popular genre has developed stylistically, politically and philosophically from 1955 to the present. Each chapter focuses on a particular decade, investigating how the most-watched series represent the inner workings of the police station, the civilian life of criminals and the private lives of police officers. This new methodological approach unearths the complex ideology underpinning each series and discerns the key insights the genre can provide into the breakdown of the post-war settlement. A must-have for scholars and students of British history, television, sociology and criminology, the book will also be of interest to crime-drama enthusiasts worldwide.

You Win or You Die The Ancient World of Game of Thrones

You Win or You Die The Ancient World of Game of Thrones
Ayelet Haimson Lushkov, "You Win or You Die: The Ancient World of Game of Thrones"
English | ISBN: 1784536997 | 2017 | 256 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
If the Middle Ages form the present-day backdrop to the continents of Westeros and Essos, then antiquity is their resonant past. The Known World is haunted by the remnants of distant and powerful civilizations, without whose presence the novels of George R. R. Martin and the ever popular HBO show would lose much of their meaning and appeal. In this essential sequel to Carolyne Larrington's Winter is Coming: The Medieval World of Game of Thrones, Ayelet Haimson Lushkov explores the echoes, from the Summer Islands to Storm's End, of a rich antique history. She discusses, for example, the convergence of ancient Rome and the reach, scope, and might of the Valyrian Freehold. She shows how the wanderings of Tyrion Lannister replay the journeys of Odysseus and Aeneas. She suggests that the War of the Five Kings resembles the War of the Four Emperors (68-69 AD). She also demonstrates just how the Wall and the Wildlings advancing on it connect with Hadrian's bulwark against fierce tribes of Picts. This book reveals the remarkable extent to which the entire Game of Thrones universe is animated by its ancient past.
