Summary

"Ridicule History" explores the underappreciated power of ridicule as a tool in shaping social and political landscapes throughout history. It examines how humor, satire, and mockery have been used strategically to influence public opinion and challenge authority. The book highlights that ridicule isn't just entertainment; it's a potent force with both positive and negative potential. For example, lampoons during the French Revolution helped fuel societal change, while satirical cartoons served as propaganda during World War II. 

 
The book progresses by first dissecting the anatomy of ridicule, delving into the psychological factors that make it effective. It then presents historical case studies, analyzing pivotal moments where ridicule played a defining role. Finally, it considers the lasting impact of ridicule on contemporary society, exploring its influence on political campaigns and the perpetuation of social norms. By understanding these mechanisms, readers can better navigate the complexities of modern political and social discourse.

  • The Great American Transit Disaster - A Century of Austerity Auto-Centric Planning and White Flight - cover

    The Great American Transit...

    A potent re-examination of America’s history of public disinvestment in mass transit. 
      
    Many a scholar and policy analyst has lamented American dependence on cars and the corresponding lack of federal investment in public transportation throughout the latter decades of the twentieth century. But as Nicholas Dagen Bloom shows in The Great American Transit Disaster, our transit networks are so bad for a very simple reason: we wanted it this way. 
      
    Focusing on Baltimore, Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, and San Francisco, Bloom provides overwhelming evidence that transit disinvestment was a choice rather than destiny. He pinpoints three major factors that led to the decline of public transit in the United States: municipal austerity policies that denied most transit agencies the funding to sustain high-quality service; the encouragement of auto-centric planning; and white flight from dense city centers to far-flung suburbs. As Bloom makes clear, these local public policy decisions were not the product of a nefarious auto industry or any other grand conspiracy—all were widely supported by voters, who effectively shut out options for transit-friendly futures. With this book, Bloom seeks not only to dispel our accepted transit myths but hopefully to lay new tracks for today’s conversations about public transportation funding.

    Cajuns and Creoles The: The...

    Deep within the bayous and swamps of Louisiana resides a population descended from an exodus. These people, called Cajuns or Acadians, were expelled from their homelands. Persecuted and homeless, they traveled hundreds of miles south in search of a new home and ultimately settled in the Pelican State, where they made new lives for themselves free from their British conquerors. Though not always warmly welcomed, they were accepted, allowing them to practice their different culture amidst their new neighbors. 
    	Though their home has changed flags over the centuries, the people themselves have remained, retaining a culture that goes back several centuries. While people continue to assimilate, some have continued to live same lifestyles their ancestors did for generations, and they continue to fascinate outsiders, so much so that they occasionally end up being featured on the History Channel. 
    	Contrary to popular belief, the term “Creole” is not restricted to the Louisiana Creole, nor the Creoles of color, which collectively refers to the overall ethnic group and different local Creole cultures that blossomed across the Spanish and French colonies in Louisiana, Mississippi, and northwestern Florida. Today, the term is much more complex and may be applied to any of the various Creole cultures around the globe. The word may also be used to describe any language that has spawned from a mixture of languages, or specifically the associated, but distinct tongues developed within Creole communities, as well as the speakers of these languages themselves.  
    Generally speaking, however, the word “Creole” refers to the cultures birthed from the colonial-era racial and cultural mixing between Europeans (mostly of French, Spanish, or Portuguese descent) and Africans, as well as Native Americans, and other local or indigenous peoples in French, Spanish, and Portuguese territories.
