The Condition of the South

Carl Schurz

Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

In "The Condition of the South," Carl Schurz offers a penetrating analysis of the socio-political landscape of the post-Civil War South. Combining vivid descriptive prose with astute observations, Schurz delves into the complexities of Reconstruction, exploring the interplay between race relations, economic challenges, and the political climate of the time. His firsthand accounts from travels throughout the Southern states provide readers with a rich, nuanced perspective on a region grappling with profound change, encapsulating the optimism and despair of a society in transition. Schurz's literary style is marked by both clarity and passion, situating his work within a pivotal moment in American history where the ideals of freedom and equality were being fiercely contested. Carl Schurz, a prominent figure in American politics and journalism, was a German immigrant who became an influential voice in advocating for civil rights and social justice. His unique background granted him a distinct perspective; having experienced oppression in Europe, he was particularly attuned to the struggles faced by African Americans in the South. Schurz's dedication to educating the public about the conditions in the South stemmed from his commitment to democracy and his belief in the necessity of Reconstruction to heal the nation. "The Condition of the South" is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the intricate dynamics of post-Civil War America. With its keen insights and historical significance, this work not only sheds light on a critical era but also encourages reflection on the ongoing struggle for equality and justice. Readers who appreciate a thoughtful examination of history through a personal lens will find Schurz's analysis both enlightening and enduring.

Actors and Singers - The Lives...

Kelly Mass

This is a compilation of 2 different titles, which are about the following topics:
1: Marilyn Monroe has been part of the sexual revolution during the mid-20th century. Her influence in the movie industry, as an icon for attractiveness and femininity, have been noticed by hundreds of millions, even after her death.
Did Marilyn Monroe have success? Yes. Was her life easy? Not by far. Her failed marriages, early childhood trauma, mood disorder, and some of the struggles with her sexuality, contracts, and Hollywood producers have made her life go up and down so much that I’m sure she would describe some moments as the ultimate bliss and others as a living hell.
To understand such a complicated mess, a life covered in glamor and at the same time, tainted by manipulative individuals and her own weaknesses, addictions, and imperfections, we have to take a closer look. This way, we can understand why the world’s eyes were on her, and why she is still recognized as a symbol of attractiveness.
2: Elvis Presley is the famous singer who caused so much controversy that he was hated and loved among most of the American people. His sexual moves, his novel way of putting songs together… there was just something about him that attracted the ladies and the media attention at the same time.
Elvis didn’t grow up with wealth and fame. In a way, you could say he was living the American dream. However, he was kind of a bad boy as well, facing legal troubles, broken relationships and drug abuse. His death was lamented by many but his music lived on. Explore the era and methods of Elvis with us in this concise book/biography about his life.

Come home Charley Patton

Ralph Lemon

Come home Charley Patton is a moving and an imaginative memoir documenting the Civil Rights Era and contemporary southern culture. Intricately layered and deeply arresting, Ralph Lemon's research on the African American experience intertwines personal anecdotes and family remembrances with diaristic accounts of the making of a dance, as Lemon journeys the mythic roads of migration—visiting the sites of lynchings, following the paths of Civil Rights marches, and meeting the descendants of early blues musicians. Come home Charley Patton is a rich, transcendent text, and a historically-charged meditation on memory in America. It is a formidable finale for the Geography trilogy (including Geography and Tree), three books connected thematically by racial identity and the related dance projects choreographed by Lemon. Generously illustrated with family photos, original art, and photos of the performance, the book will take its place in the canon of great African American writing.
