Ron Kuzar, "Hebrew and Zionism: A Discourse Analytic Cultural Study"
English, German | 2001 | ISBN: 3110169932, 3110169924 | PDF | pages: 336 | 19.2 mb
This book observes and critiques controversies on the genesis and the character of Israeli Hebrew. Did it emerge through revival? Did Ben-Yehuda play a role in it? Is Hebrew a normal language now? The hegemonic ideology of the revival of Hebrew is shown to have been harmonious with various Zionist streams, as well as with its rival, Canaanism. The effects of revivalism are evaluated, and an argument is made in favor of non-revivalist alternatives in linguistics and in language education.

Health in the City: Race, Poverty, and the Negotiation of Women's Health in New York City, 1915-1930 By Tanya Hart
2015 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 1479867993 | PDF | 3 MB
Shortly after the dawn of the twentieth century, the New York City Department of Health decided to address what it perceived as the racial nature of health. It delivered heavily racialized care in different neighborhoods throughout the city: syphillis treatment among African Americans, tuberculosis for Italian Americans, and so on. It was a challenging and ambitious program, dangerous for the providers, and troublingly reductive for the patients. Nevertheless, poor and working-class African American, British West Indian, and Southern Italian women all received some of the nation's best health care during this period.Health in the City challenges traditional ideas of early twentieth-century urban black health care by showing a program that was simultaneously racialized and cutting-edge. It reveals that even the most well-meaning public health programs may inadvertently reinforce perceptions of inferiority that they were created to fix.

Douglas R. Egerton, "He Shall Go Out Free: The Lives of Denmark Vesey"
English | 2004 | ISBN: 0742542238 | EPUB | pages: 296 | 0.9 mb
On July 2, 1822, Denmark Vesey was hanged in Charleston, S.C., for his role in planning one of the largest slave uprisings in the United States. During his long, extraordinary life Vesey played many roles-Caribbean field hand, cabin boy, chandler's man, house servant, proud freeman, carpenter, husband, father, church leader, abolitionist, revolutionary. Yet until his execution transformed him into a symbol of liberty, Vesey made it his life's work to avoid the attention of white authorities. Because he preferred to dwell in the hidden alleys of Charleston's slave community, Vesey remains as elusive as he is today celebrated, and his legend is often mistaken for fact.

David Marriott, "Haunted Life: Visual Culture and Black Modernity"
English | 2007 | ISBN: 0813540283 | PDF | pages: 256 | 28.7 mb
In Haunted Life, David Marriott examines the complex interplay between racial fears and anxieties and the political-visual cultures of suspicion and state terror. He compels readers to consider how media technologies are "haunted" by the phantom of racial slavery. Through examples from film and television, modernist literature, and philosophy, he shows how the ideological image of a brutal African past is endlessly recycled and how this perpetuation of historical catastrophe stokes our nation's race-conscious paranoia.

Hard Rain: Bob Dylan, Oral Cultures, and the Meaning of History (The Columbia Oral History Series) by Alessandro Portelli
English | May 17, 2022 | ISBN: 0231205929, 0231205937 | True EPUB | 200 pages | 1.6 MB
Bob Dylan's iconic 1962 song "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" stands at the crossroads of musical and literary traditions. A visionary warning of impending apocalypse, it sets symbolist imagery within a structure that recalls a centuries-old form. Written at the height of the 1960s folk music revival amid the ferment of political activism, the song strongly resembles―and at the same time reimagines―a traditional European ballad sung from Scotland to Italy, known in the English-speaking world as "Lord Randal."
