Sinopsis

Boston Tea examines the Boston Tea Party as more than just a historical event; it was a pivotal act of colonial resistance and political theater that ignited the American Revolution. The book explores the economic grievances stemming from British policies like the Tea Act, which fueled revolutionary sentiment among colonists yearning for self-governance. It reveals how this event was a calculated challenge to British authority, uniting disparate colonies against perceived oppression.

 
The book unfolds by first establishing the historical context of British-colonial relations, detailing the economic burdens imposed on the colonists. It then meticulously examines the planning and execution of the Boston Tea Party itself. Finally, the book analyzes the immediate and long-term consequences, including the passage of the Intolerable Acts and the subsequent escalation towards armed conflict, ultimately considering the event's lasting legacy in American history.

The Battle for George Square...

Gordon Barclay, Louise Heren

The Battle of George Square, a riot during the Forty Hours Strike in Glasgow, on 31 January 1919, is routinely claimed to be one of the most iconic events in Scottish working-class history. It is also the most mythologised. For a century, the narrative created for the defence of the strike leaders charged with incitement to riot – an 'unprovoked attack on a peaceful crowd' as an act of oppression – has been repeated uncritically by academic and popular writers. Mythology has almost completely replaced reality, most notably in the Scottish education system, where educational materials have been described by two prominent historians as, 'arrant propaganda' and a 'perversion of history'.
Now, Gordon Barclay and Louise Heren have undertaken a meticulous examination of the contemporary evidence to tell a more complex story. In doing so they examine the ways writers have failed to subject the celebratory mythology of this iconic event to adequate scrutiny. They document the creation of the mythology, from the writings of the strike leaders to those who use the mythology of the Battle to promote their own politics. They also examine the legal basis and reality of the military deployment to Glasgow in the aftermath of the riot.

Gentlemen of the Shade: My Own...

Jen Sookfong Lee

Gus Van Sant’s film and the ’90s cult of the alternative Gus Van Sant’s 1991 indie darling My Own Private Idaho perplexed and provoked, inspiring a new ethos for a new decade: being different was better than being good. Gentlemen of the Shade examines how the film was a coming-of-age for a generation of young people who would embrace the alternative and bring their outsider perspectives to sustainability, technology, gender constructs, and social responsibility. My Own Private Idaho ― fragmented and saturated with colour and dirt and a painfully beautiful masculinity ― also crept into popular media, and its influence can still be traced. R.E.M. Portlandia. Hipsterism. James Franco. Referencing the often-funny and sometimes-tragic cultural touchstones of the past 26 years, Gentlemen of the Shade sets the film as social bellwether for the many outsiders who were looking to join the right, or any, revolution.
