Bohemians - A Very Short...

David Weir

The Romantic myth of Bohemia originated in the early nineteenth century as a way of describing the new conditions faced by artists and writers when the previous system of aristocratic patronage collapsed in the wake of the Age of Revolution. Without the patron system, the artist was free to move around, to seek an audience wherever fortune beckoned. This marketing model likening the artist's vagabond career to the "gypsy" life helps to explain part of the bohemian myth, but not all of it. Most bohemians have scant interest in commercial gain and are not so itinerant after all, confining their movements to down-market urban neighborhoods where the rent is cheap and the morals are loose. 
 
 
 
This Very Short Introduction traces the myth of Bohemia through its various fictional manifestations, from Henry Murger's novel Scenes of Bohemian Life and Giacomo Puccini's opera La Bohème to Aki Kaurismäki's film La vie de Bohème and Jonathan Larson's musical Rent. It goes on to examine the history of different bohemian communities, including those in the Latin Quarter of Paris and the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York. David Weir also considers the politics of Bohemia and traces the careers of the artists Gustave Courbet and Pablo Picasso and the great chanteuses Yvette Guilbert, Fréhel, and Edith Piaf in the Montmartre neighborhood of Paris.

The Dust Bowl - America's Great...

Nova Ashford

The Dust Bowl was one of the most devastating environmental disasters in American history, affecting the Great Plains during the 1930s. A combination of severe drought, poor agricultural practices, and economic hardship led to massive dust storms, which wiped out crops, destroyed farmland, and caused widespread suffering. The impact of the Dust Bowl was felt not only in the affected regions but throughout the nation, as it brought attention to the fragile relationship between human activity and the environment.
The Great Plains, which stretches across parts of Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado, was once a region of rich soil and expansive farmland. As settlers moved westward in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the area became a major agricultural hub, known for wheat production. However, the rapid expansion of farming techniques, including over-plowing and monoculture farming, had unintended consequences. The deep-rooted grasses that once protected the soil from erosion were removed, leaving the land vulnerable to the forces of nature.
In the early 1930s, the region experienced a prolonged drought, which exacerbated the situation. Without the natural protection of grasslands, the dry, cracked soil was easily swept up by strong winds, creating massive dust storms that could last for days. These "black blizzards" blotted out the sun and coated everything in a thick layer of dust, suffocating both people and animals. The economic hardships of the Great Depression, which had already affected the nation, further intensified the crisis, leaving farmers struggling to survive.
