Beschreibung

Rural Urban Divide explores the historical tensions between urban and rural areas during periods of significant political and social change. Focusing on France, Britain, and America, the book examines how differing economic interests, social structures, and cultural values led to varied responses to revolutions. It highlights that revolutions, while aiming for unity, often fracture along urban-rural lines due to the resistance in rural areas rooted in concerns about economic survival and the preservation of local autonomy. The book argues that understanding this divide is crucial, as ignoring it can undermine the very revolutions intended to create equitable societies.

The book systematically progresses across chapters, first introducing a theoretical framework to define 'urban' and 'rural' within each nation. It then analyzes the French Revolution, focusing on the antagonism between Paris and the countryside, where issues like land ownership ignited rural rebellions. Next, it examines Britain's industrialization, urbanization, and rural displacement, exploring how the Enclosure Acts fueled resentment in the countryside. Finally, it contrasts the revolutionary fervor of American coastal cities with the conservatism of agrarian communities, revealing how issues like taxation exacerbated regional tensions. By comparatively analyzing these distinct national contexts, the book offers a unique perspective that is relevant to both historians and policymakers grappling with similar issues today.

Notorious Memphis Gangster Diggs...

Mr. Patrick O'Daniel

The Memphis Underworld King   Diggs Nolen's name was the byword for crime in 1920s Memphis. As a child, he dreamed of becoming a swashbuckling outlaw. He turned his back on a promising career, his family and consorted with the worst elements of society. Under the tutelage of train robber Frank Holloway, Nolen became a notorious con artist. Later, he and his gun-slinging wife built an empire out of selling narcotics and trafficking stolen goods. Law enforcement caught Nolen, but they could not hold him. Nolen escaped from Leavenworth Prison, led the largest jailbreak in Memphis history and confounded prosecutors with legal wranglings. Author Patrick O'Daniel details Nolen's quixotic quest for criminal fame that earned him the title King of the Memphis Underworld.

The Dogma of Christ - And Other...

Erich Fromm

“Fromm’s developing thought merits the critical attention of all concerned with the human condition and its future.” —The Washington Post The essays in this fascinating volume examine present-day psychological and cultural problems with the keen insight and humanistic sympathies characteristic of Erich Fromm’s work.The Dogma of Christ provides some of the sharpest critical insights into how the contemporary world of human destructiveness and violence can no longer separate religion, psychology, and politics. The book brilliantly summarizes Fromm’s ideas on how culture and society shape our behavior. “It’s the new post-religious theme song. The Fromm exhortations are imaginative and he has a definite audience.” —Kirkus Reviews “Of all the psychological theorists who have tried to formulate a system better than Freud’s to approach problems of contemporary life, no one has been more creative or influential than Erich Fromm. He is the most articulate advocate on the role of social forces in molding our character and on our manner of relating to others. This volume is an expansion of his systematic doctrine.” —Louis L. Lunsky, MD, Archives of Internal Medicine
