The Best of Enemies
Author: Osha Gray Davidson
language: en
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
Release Date: 2007-08-27
C. P. Ellis grew up in the poor white section of Durham, North Carolina, and as a young man joined the Ku Klux Klan. Ann Atwater, a single mother from the poor black part of town, quit her job as a household domestic to join the civil rights fight. During the 1960s, as the country struggled with the explosive issue of race, Atwater and Ellis met on opposite sides of the public school integration issue. Their encounters were charged with hatred and suspicion. In an amazing set of transformations, however, each of them came to see how the other had been exploited by the South's rigid power structure, and they forged a friendship that flourished against a backdrop of unrelenting bigotry. Rich with details about the rhythms of daily life in the mid-twentieth-century South, The Best of Enemies offers a vivid portrait of a relationship that defied all odds. By placing this very personal story into broader context, Osha Gray Davidson demonstrates that race is intimately tied to issues of class, and that cooperation is possible--even in the most divisive situations--when people begin to listen to one another.
Queer Movie Medievalisms
How is history even possible, since it involves recapturing a past already lost? It is through this urge to understand, feel and experience, that films based on medieval history are made. They attempt to re-create the past, but can only do so through a queer re-visioning that inevitably replicates modernity. In these mediations between past and present, history becomes misty, and so, too, do constructions of gender and sexuality leading to the impossibility of heterosexuality, or of any sexuality, predicated upon cinematic medievalism. Queer Movie Medievalisms is the first book of its kind to grapple with the ways in which mediations between past and present, as registered on the silver screen, queerly undercut assumptions about sexuality throughout time. It will be of great interest to scholars of Gender and Sexuality, Cultural and Media Studies, Film Studies and Medieval History.
The Ancestor 2
The great war that had killed a quarter of Earth's population had come to an end. The Derkadans focused on dismantling the remnants of the theocracy that had oppressed them for centuries and caused the deaths of three hundred million people. To ensure that the peace would last, the Eyan leadership approved a plan to reduce the maximum testosterone levels of all men, hoping the measure would lessen the aggression of their sex. Once the Derkadan leadership also agreed, the plan was implemented on a global scale. Despite countless tests, something went terribly wrong. A race against time for the future of humanity had begun.
