Sinopse

"Beijing Legacy" explores the historical, political, and global dimensions of Beijing, revealing how it became the epicenter of China's identity and power. From its roots as an imperial capital with landmarks like the Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven to its current status as a global metropolis, the book examines how Beijing reflects China's transformation. Intriguingly, the city's urban planning has always been deeply intertwined with political symbolism, and its modern development is pivotal to understanding China's Belt and Road Initiative.

 
The book progresses chronologically, first establishing Beijing's imperial past and the shaping of its landscape by successive dynasties. It then transitions to Beijing's role in modern Chinese history, covering periods of revolution and the rise of the Communist Party. Finally, it analyzes Beijing's contemporary rise as a global city, looking at economic reforms and its increasing influence in international affairs, while also addressing the challenges it faces. This approach provides a comprehensive viewpoint of understanding China's evolving global posture.

    Megan Fox, a diabolic indie rock band, toxic friendship, fluid sexuality, feminist reckoning, and a literal man-eater in the body of a high school cheerleader: Jennifer’s Body has it all 
     
    Featuring an original interview with director Karyn Kusama 
     
    What would be an easy sell in 2021 ― women at the helm (screenwriter Diablo Cody, director Karyn Kusama), a bankable cast (Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried), and a deceptively complex skewering of gender politics ― was a box office flop in 2009. In Extra Salty, Frederick Blichert flips the script on how Jennifer’s Body was labeled a failure to celebrate all that is scrumptious (as Jennifer would say) about it: supernatural horror, dark comedy, queer love, and a nuanced handling of gendered violence. The movie could have been to the aughts what Heathers was to the eighties, and it’s finally getting its due ― whether in the flood of tenth-anniversary praise, the parade of Jennifer Halloween costumes, or Halsey’s nod to it (“Killing Boys”) on her platinum-selling album. 
     
    With insight into the genre’s cinematic tropes, our current cultural reckoning with misogyny, and an original interview with director Karyn Kusama, Extra Salty solidifies the status of Jennifer’s Body as a cult classic.

    Our recent storms didn't start in 2020 or 2016. They started decades ago in the 1960s - a whirlwind of threatened nuclear catastrophe, then police dogs and rednecks terrorizing civil rights marchers down south, then Vietnamese children fleeing from napalm flames. Then draft notices to go to Vietnam to "fight commies." 
    A small town boy started by supporting rightist Goldwater against the "peace candidate" Johnson, but rapidly changed in the face of the civil rights and anti-war movements, and started a quest that hasn't ended yet. 
    This book tells Dee Knight's story of "waking up" to the truth about the US war in Vietnam, then refusing the draft and going to Canada where he lived for six years. It relates the years-long campaign for amnesty, in which Knight was a leader. After war resisters won a partial amnesty, Knight continued campaigning against US wars up to the present day. 
    There are chapters on: 
    The political storms of 1968 
    Exile life in Canada 
    The years-long campaign for universal unconditional amnesty 
    Antiwar veterans and active duty soldiers and sailors, including the sanctuary movement 
    Witnessing Portugal's "Carnation Revolution" of 1975 
    Living and working in Sandinista Nicaragua 
    Socialism and the Green New Deal 
    "Messages from the Future" 
    Reflections on the Pandemic 
    The Battle to Expand and Protect Democracy 
    Appendices on Vietnam's victory in 1975, and on the reality of life and politics in China
