The result is a penetrating account of the far-reaching consequences of the massive accrual of wealth and a troubling portrait of a changing American West where romanticizing rural poverty and conserving nature can be lucrative, socially as well as financially.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Justin Farrell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.20w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691217123\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJustin Farrell\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor at Yale University in the School of the Environment.

A year later, the band's self-titled debut album burst onto the \u003ci\u003eBillboard\u003c\/i\u003e charts, capturing the imagination of fans and music critics worldwide. The fact that the group had formed in the sleepy southern college town of Athens, Georgia, only increased the fascination. Soon, more Athens bands followed the B-52's into the vanguard of the new American music that would come to be known as \"alternative,\" including R.E.M., who catapulted over the course of the 1980s to the top of the musical mainstream. As acts like the B-52's, R.E.M., and Pylon drew the eyes of New York tastemakers southward, they discovered in Athens an unexpected mecca of music, experimental art, DIY spirit, and progressive politics -- a creative underground as vibrant as any to be found in the country's major cities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Athens in the eighties, if you were young and willing to live without much money, anything seemed possible. \u003ci\u003eCool Town\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the passion, vitality, and enduring significance of a bohemian scene that became a model for others to follow. Grace Elizabeth Hale experienced the Athens scene as a student, small-business owner, and band member.

He begins with the earliest European settlers, whose desire for vast forests to hunt in was frustrated by absentee owners--including George Washington and other founders--who laid claim to the region. Even as Daniel Boone became famous as a backwoods hunter and guide, the economy he represented was already in peril. Within just a few decades, Appalachian hunters and farmers went from pioneers to pariahs, from heroes to hillbillies, in the national imagination, and the area was locked into an enduring association with poverty and backwardness. Stoll traces these developments with empathy and precision, examining crucial episodes such as the Whiskey Rebellion, the founding of West Virginia, and the arrival of timber and coal companies that set off a devastating \"scramble for Appalachia.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt the center of \u003ci\u003eRamp Hollow \u003c\/i\u003eis Stoll's sensitive portrayal of Appalachian homesteads. Perched upon ridges and tucked into hollows, they combined small-scale farming and gardening with expansive foraging and hunting, along with distilling and trading, to achieve self-sufficiency and resist the dependence on cash and credit arising elsewhere in the United States.

Drawing powerful connections between Appalachia and other agrarian societies around the world, Stoll demonstrates the vitality of a peasant way of life that mixes farming with commerce but is not dominated by a market mind-set. His original investigation, ranging widely from history to literature, art, and economics, questions our assumptions about progress and development, and exposes the devastating legacy of dispossession and its repercussions today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven Stoll\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hill \u0026amp; Wang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.30w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780809080199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteven Stoll\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of history at Fordham University and the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Great Delusion\u003c\/i\u003e (Hill and Wang, 2008) and \u003ci\u003eLarding the Lean Earth\u003c\/i\u003e (Hill and Wang, 2002).

As the weeks pass, she is mystified by how easily her students lie, unnerved by their obedience to the regime. At the same time, they offer Suki tantalizing glimpses of their private selves--their boyish enthusiasm, their eagerness to please, the flashes of curiosity that have not yet been extinguished.

In the 1930s, Mao Zedong's Red Army fled into the Tibetan plateau to escape their adversaries in the Chinese Civil War. By the time the soldiers reached Ngaba, they were so hungry that they looted monasteries and ate religious statues made of flour and butter--to Tibetans, it was as if they were eating the Buddha. Their experiences would make Ngaba one of the engines of Tibetan resistance for decades to come, culminating in shocking acts of self-immolation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eEat the Buddha\u003c\/i\u003e spans decades of modern Tibetan and Chinese history, as told through the private lives of Demick's subjects, among them a princess whose family is wiped out during the Cultural Revolution, a young Tibetan nomad who becomes radicalized in the storied monastery of Kirti, an upwardly mobile entrepreneur who falls in love with a Chinese woman, a poet and intellectual who risks everything to voice his resistance, and a Tibetan schoolgirl forced to choose at an early age between her family and the elusive lure of Chinese money.

Micronesia is last domino in the quest to globalize the Earth into a singular monoculture. It is the region least  affected  by the increasingly global culture of conspicuous consumption and individualistic materialism. Micronesia is at a crossroads, as is the human race. If the last region on earth in which, among the majority of the population, communal living based on interconnectedness, extended families, shared resources, non-linear thinking, and a sustainable relationship with the natural environment is the norm is allowed to be destroyed, the future of humanity is truly in jeopardy. When imagination of indigenous youth and the viability of sustainable living are allowed to die, so does hope for the entire human race. Micronesia is one of the last corners on earth where people, on the whole, still pattern life in humane and interdependent arrangements built on sustaining, life-supporting values, in short, where people still mostly function as people. This resilience, perhaps, is an offering of beauty - its contribution to the world. This book is a series of essays describing the present day realities of the U.S.-Micronesia relationship through the eyes of the folk on the ground, being disappeared. Both elders and youth tell of the continuing harm of the U.S. colonial project in Micronesia, revealing how that project continues to starve the imaginations of entire peoples. Made up of more than 2,000 islands and atolls in three major archipelagos, the Carolines, the Marshalls, and the Marianas, Micronesia was known from the last World War until the 1970s as the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. All of it, the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), the Republic of Palau (Belau), and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), less Guam, which was cut from the rest after the Spanish-American war and lumped with the other 1898 Unfortunates: the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Cuba. While the world looks away, this region of the planet is facing down death. Mostly losing. Current U.S. militarist and corporate plans for the region now threaten to destroy the life-affirming values that bind and sustain these ancient civilizations by deepening dispossession of the people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julian Aguon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blue Ocean Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.34d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9784902837674","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Julian Aguon \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47351409410205,"sku":"9784902837674","price":29.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_813bc3bc-937b-4e24-9ee7-c9afafcfc8e5.jpg?v=1761688781"},{"product_id":"rainbow-fleur-de-lis-essays-on-queer-new-orleans-history-9781496857583","title":"Rainbow Fleur de Lis: Essays on Queer New Orleans History","description":"\u003ci\u003eRainbow Fleur de Lis: Essays on Queer New Orleans History\u003c\/i\u003e is an anthology of eighty-five short, easy-to-read essays that originally appeared in \u003ci\u003eAmbush Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFrench Quarter Journal\u003c\/i\u003e.

Historical surveys of several organizations are then provided, followed by a unit on the Up Stairs Lounge fire.

The most powerful earthquake to have hit Japan in recorded history, it produced a devastating tsunami with waves reaching heights of over 130 feet that in turn caused an unprecedented multireactor meltdown at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. This triple catastrophe claimed almost 20,000 lives, destroyed whole towns, and will ultimately cost hundreds of billions of dollars for reconstruction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003e3.11\u003c\/i\u003e, Richard Samuels offers the first broad scholarly assessment of the disaster's impact on Japan's government and society. The events of March 2011 occurred after two decades of social and economic malaise--as well as considerable political and administrative dysfunction at both the national and local levels--and resulted in national soul-searching. Political reformers saw in the tragedy cause for hope: an opportunity for Japan to remake itself. Samuels explores Japan's post-earthquake actions in three key sectors: national security, energy policy, and local governance. For some reformers, 3.11 was a warning for Japan to overhaul its priorities and political processes. For others, it was a once-in-a-millennium event; they cautioned that while national policy could be improved, dramatic changes would be counterproductive. Still others declared that the catastrophe demonstrated the need to return to an idealized past and rebuild what has been lost to modernity and globalization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSamuels chronicles the battles among these perspectives and analyzes various attempts to mobilize popular support by political entrepreneurs who repeatedly invoked three powerfully affective themes: leadership, community, and vulnerability. Assessing reformers' successes and failures as they used the catastrophe to push their particular agendas--and by examining the earthquake and its aftermath alongside prior disasters in Japan, China, and the United States--Samuels outlines Japan's rhetoric of crisis and shows how it has come to define post-3.11 politics and public policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard J.

Half a century before Hillbilly Elegy put the wrong story in front of millions of readers, James Branscome was already telling the right one. Annihilating the Hillbilly Redux brings together five decades of investigative journalism by one of Appalachia's most consistent and credible voices, with chapters drawn from the Mountain Eagle of Whitesburg, Kentucky (where Branscome has been a contributor since 1973), the Washington Post, American Heritage, the New York Times Magazine, Business Week, Southern Exposure, the Daily Yonder, Cardinal News, the Kentucky Lantern, and West Virginia Watch. The book documents what others ignored: the deliberate impoverishment of a people and the systematic extraction of their wealth by industries, agencies, and institutions that claimed to be helping them. Its thirty-seven chapters cover the mythologies that justified exploitation, from John Fox Jr. through The Beverly Hillbillies to J.D. Vance; the migration crisis that has emptied the sixty-county Central Appalachian coalfield region; the Tennessee Valley Authority's transformation from New Deal idealist to the nation's largest strip-mine coal consumer; the Appalachian Regional Commission's structural underinvestment; and the data-center industrial complex now establishing itself on former mine land. Unlike many critiques of Appalachian conditions, the book moves beyond diagnosis to propose a serious policy framework for reversing the depopulation crisis: an Ascend Central Appalachia talent-attraction program, a contemporary Appalachian Homestead Act, and a time-limited Universal Basic Income experiment scaled to the region's challenges. The book closes with critical assessments of recent Appalachian literature, including J.D. Vance's Hillbilly Elegy, the Appalachian Reckoning response volume, William H. Turner's The Harlan Renaissance, Charles B. Keeney's The Road to Blair Mountain, and Tom Hansell's After Coal. Praise for Annihilating the Hillbilly Redux: \"From Appalachian migration to hog castration, this book contains the wisdom (and humor) of a lifetime. Jim Branscome has been a guide, teacher and prophet for all of us who want to better know the eastern mountains.\" - Bill Bishop, author of The Big Sort and co-founder of The Daily Yonder \"No other journalist has covered the Appalachian odyssey for as long and with as much insight as James Branscome. This book is a must read for anyone who wants to understand Appalachia's past and current struggles.\" - Ronald D. Eller, author of Uneven Ground: Appalachia Since 1945 \"Appalachia is America's least understood major region. Jim Branscome has a deep knowledge of it, a firm independence, and an understanding of how the world works - and what it has done to Appalachia, and its unrealized potential.\" - Al Cross, founding director, Institute for Rural Journalism, University of Kentucky \"He has told a story the 'established press' has, to its shame, neglected to tell.
