Americana from Sabin's Dictionary of books relating to
AmericaNotes: Collation: 107 p.; 24 cm
Here are 23 essays, interviews, and public letters representing the
best of C. Wright Mills's "politics of truth." The first collection
of Mills's writings to be published since 1963, these essays show
how America's best known sociologist grew into a representative for
dissenters in Europe, Latin America, and Europe, and was
posthumously declared one of the three most influential figures in
the international Left by the CIA. First published in Evergreen
Review, Harper's, The Nation, Dissent, and New Left Review, these
out-of-print and hard to find writings show Mills's growth from
academic sociologist to intellectual maestro in command of a mature
style, in search of an independent radical public to oppose the
drift toward permanent war. Seminal papers including "Letter to the
New Left" appear alongside notably prescient but lesser known
meditations like "Are We Losing Our Sense of Belonging?" Historians
interested in United States foreign policy and in the Latin
American Left will find Mills's cogent and probing thoughts on
these subjects, sociologists and engaged members of the citizenry
who analyze the relationship between culture and politics will find
no less incisive essays on these topics. John Summers provides both
a new introduction to this book, including an overview of Mills'
life and career, as well as annotations that restore each piece's
context.
The book also offers a wealth of related websites and a detailed
index for quick reference. Not all community college facilities and
students are the same, but this book will teach you and your
students to “see” your particular physical environment and
procedures through a safety-conscious lens.
When John Summers moved to a small town in the Wairarapa and began
to look closely at the less-celebrated aspects of local life - our
club rooms, freezing works, night trains, hotel pubs, landfills -
he saw something deeper. It was a story about his own life, but
mostly about a place and its people. The story was about life and
death in New Zealand. Combining reportage and memoir, The
Commercial Hotel is a sharp-eyed, poignant yet often hilarious tour
of Aotearoa: a place in which Arcoroc mugs and dog-eared political
biographies are as much a part of the scenery as the hills we tramp
through ill-equipped. We encounter Elvis impersonators, the
eccentric French horn player and adventurer Bernard Shapiro, Norman
Kirk balancing timber on his handlebars while cycling to his
building site, and Summers's grandmother: the only woman imprisoned
in New Zealand for protesting World War Two. And we meet the ghosts
who haunt our loneliest spaces. As he follows each of his
preoccupations, Summers reveals to us a place we have never quite
seen before.
