  On Heroes Hero-Worship and the...

  Thomas Carlyle

  Though uncompromising, polemical and argumentative, Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) made a lasting impact on 19th-century culture as a multi-talented man of letters. And though his lengthy history of the French Revolution proved his major scholarly legacy, On Heroes, Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History remains perhaps his most popular and accessible work. It presented his deep-seated belief that ‘Universal History, the history of what man has accomplished in this world, is at bottom the History of the Great Men who have worked here'. 
   
  It is with this bold declaration that Carlyle opened the collection of six lectures that comprise ‘On Heroes'. Initially delivered in 1840, he published them a year later in an expanded form, and the book's popularity gave him the broader national presence to which he aspired. The six lectures covered a wide range of man's activities, but of particular interest were the categories, as much as the individual figures. 
   
  Lecture I. The Hero as Divinity: Odin. Paganism: Scandinavian Mythology. 
   
  Lecture II. The Hero as Prophet. Mahomet: Islam. 
   
  Lecture III. The Hero as Poet. Dante, Shakespeare. 
   
  Lecture IV. The Hero as Priest. Luther. Reformation: Knox; Puritanism. 
   
  Lecture V. The Hero as Man of Letters. Johnson, Rousseau, Burns. 
   
  Lecture VI. The Hero as King. Cromwell, Napoleon: Modern Revolutionism. 
   
  These categories challenged opinions from the outset: Carlyle's fundamental approach, breaking away from an overbearing militaristic description of the hero figure in history, was revolutionary. He chose to take a more radical view, less hide-bound by the conventional constraints of his day, placing the poet, the philosopher and the revolutionary where, in popular imagination, the conqueror and the champion held sway. This was reflected further in the individuals he chose to represent the categories. If modern-day sensibilities may take a less emphatic ‘Great Men' approach to history, Carlyle's original work continues to provide an engaging template for contemporary revision.

  In her new inspirational memoir, Dr. Hattie N. Washington reveals how a country girl from the backwoods of Meherrin, Virginia succeeded through life with optimism, drive, and a belief in God to become an honor student, a master teacher, a parent to two accomplished daughters, and a foster parent to numerous abused foster boys over twenty-two years.  She writes about family, relationships, and the complexities of growing up during the segregation and desegregation era, when the strike at R.R. Moton High School in Farmville, Virginia in 1951 led to the historic Brown v. Board of Education 1954 desegregation case.

  Come Out Come Out Whoever You Are

  While people used to conceal the fact that they were gay or lesbian to protect themselves from stigma and discrimination, it is now commonplace for people to "come out" and encourage others to do so as well. Come Out, Come Out, Whoever You Are systematically examines how coming out has moved beyond gay and lesbian rights groups and how different groups wrestle with the politics of coming out in their efforts to resist stigma and enact social change. It shows how different experiences and disparate risks of disclosure shape these groups' collective strategies.Through scores of interviews with LGBTQ+ people, undocumented immigrant youth, fat acceptance activists, Mormon fundamentalist polygamists, and sexual harassment lawyers and activists in the era of the #MeToo movement, Come Out, Come Out, Whoever You Are explains why so many different groups gravitate toward the term coming out. By focusing on the personal and political resonance of coming out, it provides a novel way to understand how identity politics work in America today.

  Dublin Burning: The Easter...

  Dublin Burning is a vivid, clear-eyed account of the 1916 Rising and is the most complete account we have from a senior participant. No other senior Volunteer figure has left a similar memoir of Easter Week.
  Commandant W.J. Brennan-Whitmore was officer commanding the Volunteer position at the head of North Earl Street, an outworking of the GPO garrison. Its purpose was to delay and frustrate any attempt by the British to deploy reinforcements coming from Amiens Street railway station (now Connolly).
  Commandant Brennan-Whitmore and his men held this position for over seventy-two hours until forced out by British artillery. He and his troops attempted to retreat northwards through the slums, hoping to reach the safety of the suburbs. But he and his men were not Dubliners and were unfamiliar with the city. They were captured in a tenement where they had taken refuge and were interned in Frongoch in Wales until 1917.
  Brennan-Whitmore's book is a unique document, one of the most valuable accounts of the Rising available to us.
