Anatomy of Four Race Riots - Lee E. Williams Ii - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

Anatomy of Four Race Riots: Racial Conflict in Knoxville, Elaine (Arkansas), Tulsa and Chicago, 1919-1921by Lee E. Williams and Lee E. Williams IIAnatomy of Four Race Riots is a study of the terrible racial violence that erupted in four different American communities during the post World War I years, racial violence that left hundreds dead or injured and a massive amount of destruction in its wake. Although the igniting incident or event varied somewhat, there was a similarity in the racial climate that existed in each town. The emerging blacks, boosted economically and idealistically by the war effort, were viewed as a threat by some of the whites. The bloody confrontations described here were grave evidence of the intensity of the fear and hatred that existed between a portion of the races. Lee E. Williams (deceased) was Dean for Administration at Jackson State University.Lee E. Williams II is Professor of History at the University of Alabama, Huntsville.

VanderHaagen, and Michelle Taylor Watts The Brownies'' Book occupies a special place in the history of African American children''s literature.

The Comic Book Film Adaptation - Liam Burke - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

"By far the most insightful look ever at superheroes in film. It''s not about what''s been translated from comics to the movies-it''s about why it has, how it has, and why it works well enough to produce some of the most popular movies in all of cinema history. There is no better, smarter examination of the relationship between comics and film." -Mark Waid, Eisner Award-winning writer of Kingdom Come and Daredevil"Liam Burke takes the reader on a compelling journey through this new ''Golden Age'' of adaptation, his argument combining the rigorous, exhaustive research of a committed scholar with the energy and encyclopedic knowledge of a passionate fan. This is a serious book about comic books and their relationship with cinema; it is seriously enjoyable, and also seriously important." -Will Brooker, author of Hunting the Dark Knight and editor of Cinema Journal"What is all too often an overlooked form is finally given the seriousness it deserves in The Comic Book Film Adaptation. A most welcome intervention in the field of adaptation studies." -Deborah Cartmell, coauthor of Screen Adaptation: Impure Cinema and coeditor of the journal Adaptation"Burke presents a masterly and engaging argument regarding cultural, technological, and industry transformations, which have facilitated a shift in the comic book form-on page and on screen-from the margins to the mainstream. This excellent book is sure to become a key text in the burgeoning field of comics studies, while also having a great deal to offer film and media studies." -Angela Ndalianis, editor of The Contemporary Comic Book Superhero and Super/Heroes: From Hercules to SupermanLiam Burke is a media studies lecturer at Swinburne University of Technology. His publications include the Pocket Essential Superhero Movies and the edited collection Fan Phenomena: Batman.

In America¿s collective imagination, Mississippi, a state that aptly may be described as the most southern place in America, is often deemed a sinister, forbidding landscape. While popular conceptions of other states are evoked by rosy likenesses chosen by promoters of tourism, the mere word Mississippi too often conjures thoughts of brutality, repression, and backwardness. To many outsiders, Mississippi¿s controversial history continues to resonate in the present. By allowing divergent historical voices to describe their understanding of events as they were unfolding, this new book of narrative history supports, emends, and even complicates such a vision of Mississippi¿s past and present. The only book ever to present Mississippi¿s story in a chronological documentary fashion, it includes a wide variety of public records, newspaper articles, academic papers, correspondence, ordinances, constitutional amendments, journal entries, and other documents. Although many of these documents are well known, many also have never been seen since their inception. In juxtaposition they offer a striking portrait. The parts and the whole alike show that Mississippi remains ever controversial, ever puzzling, ever fascinating.

The Catfish Book - Linda Crawford - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

The Catfish Book - Linda Crawford - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

The Catfish Bookby Linda CrawfordForeword by Craig ClaiborneHere is everything that any reader, diner, cook, or angler could wish to know about the South''s fish of choice. This light-hearted book of catfish facts and folklore offers you the catfish''s consequential story because he is the darling of the southern depths-and, more recently, of southern catfish farms, where he is bred in refinement that his river brethren never dreamed of. Without the catfish how could the South survive? What would the state of southern plate and palate be without this staple? What is his great appeal? What is his family tree? How do you hook him? And if you do, how do you cook him? But first you have to clean him, so how do you do that? The Catfish Book provides ample answers to these momentous questions and to others just as acute. And cooks wishing to greet their catfish on the stovetop rather than on the riverbank will delight in this book''s variety of award-winning recipes from the National Farm-Raised Catfish Cooking Contest.Linda Crawford served as executive director of South Delta Library Services and the Triangle Cultural Center in Yazoo City, Mississippi.Craig Claiborne (1920-2000) was a restaurant critic, food writer, and former food editor of the New York Times. A native Mississippian, he wrote numerous cookbooks and an autobiography.

Working-Class Comic Book Heroes - - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

Contributions by Phil Bevin, Blair Davis, Marc DiPaolo, Michele Fazio, James Gifford, Kelly Kanayama, Orion Ussner Kidder, Christina M. Knopf, Kevin Michael Scott, Andrew Alan Smith, and Terrence R. WandtkeIn comic books, superhero stories often depict working-class characters who struggle to make ends meet, lead fulfilling lives, and remain faithful to themselves and their own personal code of ethics. Working-Class Comic Book Heroes: Class Conflict and Populist Politics in Comics examines working-class superheroes and other protagonists who populate heroic narratives in serialized comic books. Essayists analyze and deconstruct these figures, viewing their roles as fictional stand-ins for real-world blue-collar characters.Informed by new working-class studies, the book also discusses how often working-class writers and artists created these characters. Notably Jack Kirby, a working-class Jewish artist, created several of the most recognizable working-class superheroes, including Captain America and the Thing. Contributors weigh industry histories and marketing concerns as well as the fan community's changing attitudes towards class signifiers in superhero adventures.The often financially strapped Spider-Man proves to be a touchstone figure in many of these essays. Grant Morrison's Superman, Marvel's Shamrock, Alan Moore and David Lloyd's V for Vendetta , and The Walking Dead receive thoughtful treatment. While there have been many scholarly works concerned with issues of race and gender in comics, this book stands as the first to deal explicitly with issues of class, cultural capital, and economics as its main themes.

Comic Book Culture - Matthew J. Pustz - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

What are super-devoted fans of comic books really like? What draws them together and energizes their zeal? What do the denizens of this pop-culture world have in common? This book provides good answers as it scrutinizes the fans whose profiles can be traced at their conventions, in pages of fanzines, on websites, in chat-rooms, on electronic bulletin boards, and before the racks in comic-book stores. They are a singular breed, and an absorbing interest in comic books (sometimes life-consuming) unites them. Studies have shows that the clustering, die-hard disciples of Star Trek have produced a unique culture. The same can be said of American enthusiasts of comic books. These aficionados range from the stereotypical “fanboy” who revels in the minute details of mainstream superhero titles like X-Men to the more discriminating (and downright snobbish) reader of idiosyncratic alternative comics like Eightball . Literate comics like Watchman , Radioactiv
