Sinopse

Humor In War explores the unexpected role of humor as a vital coping mechanism during wartime. It delves into how soldiers and civilians use jokes, satire, and gallows humor to navigate the horrors of conflict. The book isn't about military strategy but instead focuses on the resilience of the human spirit, highlighting how humor serves as stress relief and helps build camaraderie amid chaos. One intriguing aspect explored is the distinction between officially sanctioned humor, like propaganda, and the subversive, underground jokes that reflect genuine anxieties. The book examines the diverse forms of wartime humor and its psychological functions, considering social and cultural contexts. It draws on personal letters, diaries, and military archives, analyzing humor through psychology, sociology, and cultural studies. The approach challenges traditional war narratives by emphasizing everyday acts of resilience. Understanding the impact of humor as a coping mechanism is crucial, as it allows individuals to process trauma and maintain a sense of control. The book progresses from establishing a theoretical framework to case studies across different conflicts, from World War I to the present, examining specific humor forms and their target audiences. Ultimately, Humor In War considers the long-term effects of wartime humor on collective memory and national identity, offering insights into psychological resilience and the maintenance of sanity.

    Few figures in Christian history bridge denominational divides and cultural narratives like St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Revered for over fifteen centuries, Patrick’s life and mission stand as a beacon of spiritual courage, theological depth, and the enduring power of God’s grace. 
    In this illuminating exploration, Saint Patrick delves into the man behind the legend. From his dramatic early years as a Roman Briton enslaved by Irish raiders to his calling as a missionary in the land of his captivity, Patrick’s story is one of transformation, faith, and unwavering devotion. 
    Taking a look through the lens of both Catholic and Protestant perspectives, this book offers a nuanced examination of Patrick’s life and ministry. Was he a Catholic saint, celebrated for his miracles, his role as a bishop, and his establishment of monastic centers that would transform Europe? Or was he a proto-Protestant hero, defined by his reliance on Scripture, evangelical zeal, and personal relationship with Christ?

    The philosopher and author of Beyond Blood Identities offers a new paradigm of persona freedom and moral self-possession. As a Jamaican immigrant arriving in the United States at the age of twenty, Jason Hill noticed how often Americans identified themselves in terms of race and ethnicity. He observed, for example, the reluctance of West Indians to joins 'black causes' for fear of losing their identity. He began to ask himself what sort of world he wanted to live in, a quest that in time led him to the idea of the cosmopolitan.   In Becoming a Cosmopolitan, Jason D. Hill argues that we need a new understanding of the self. He revives the idea of the cosmopolitan, the person who identifies the world as home. Arguing for the right to forget where we came from, Hill proposes a new moral cosmopolitanism for the new millennium.

    Army Letters from an Officer's...

    "There appeared from the bushes in front of me, and right in the path, two immense gray wolves . . .  Rollo saw them and stopped instantly, giving deep sighs, preparing to snort, I knew . . .  To give myself courage, I talked to the horse, slowly turning him around . . . when out of the bushes in front of us, there came a third wolf!  The situation was not pleasant and without stopping to think, I said ‘Rollo, we must run him down -  now do your best’ and taking a firm hold of the bridle, and bracing myself in the saddle, I struck the horse with my whip and gave an awful scream. . .” Thus, the spunky and resourceful Frances Roe recounts one of her many adventures.  Frances was the young wife of a West Point Army officer, whose career took them both to frontier garrisons in what are now the states of  Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Utah, Montana, and Wyoming. Her letters home to her family in upstate New York, written between 1871 and 1888, and published in book form in 1909, are a fascinating chronicle of life on the frontier.  Despite the grittiness of  keeping house in tent-and-log-cabin quarters,  Frances took to Western  life, learning to shoot and ride (side saddle), fly fish for trout and hunt buffalo.  Her letters, chatty and detailed, open windows on varied aspects of frontier and army life: army protocol (including the right of senior officers to bump subordinates out of their housing ); the Indian tribes--Arapahoe, Cheyenne, Apache, Kiowa (ceremonial visits from chiefs as well as Indian warfare); the  black cavalry troops (at Camp Supply in Indian Territory); Chinese cooks (also Polish, Irish, and enlisted men doing kitchen duty).  Her letters span years of rapid change in the West.  They touch on  the disappearance of the buffalo herds, the decline of the Indian tribes and the coming of the railroads.  Even Yellowstone Park, established in 1872, gets a mention: “Now that the park can be reached by railroad, all of the generals, congressmen, and judges are seized with a desire to inspect it--in other words, it gives them a fine excuse for an outing at Uncle Sam’s expense.”Her emotions run deep when she writes: “I love army life here in the West, and I love all the things that it brings to me--the grand mountains, the plains, and the fine hunting.”    But, Frances’ husband, Fayette Washington Roe, is eventually promoted to a headquarters desk job.  Frances tries to evinse enthusiasm for town life: “since I cannot return to the plains, I might as well go to the city, where we will meet people of culture.”   But even shopping for the necessary clothes distresses her: “Parasols have bothered me.  I would forget to open them in the street, and would invariably leave them in the stores when shopping and then have to go about looking them up.”   She then utters a timeless cry of urban angst: “It is the feeling of loneliness I mind here--of being lost and no one to search for me.” (written at a hotel in Omaha, Nebraska in August 1888)  Anyone with  nostalgia for or curiosity about the Old American West will certainly enjoy this book.
