The nail-biting story of when the hardhats of downtown Manhattan beat scores of hippies bloody in May 1970, four days after Kent State, and how the nation reacted. In May 1970, four days after Kent State, construction workers chased students through downtown Manhattan, beating scores of protestors bloody. As hardhats clashed with hippies, it soon became clear that something larger was happening; Democrats were at war with themselves. In The Hardhat Riot, David Paul Kuhn tells the fateful story-how chaotic it was, when it began, when the white working class first turned against liberalism, when Richard Nixon seized the breach, and America was forever changed. It was unthinkable one generation before: FDR's "forgotten man" siding with the party of Big Business and, ultimately, paving the way for presidencies from Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump. In the shadow of the half-built Twin Towers, on the same day the Knicks rallied against the odds and won their first championship, we relive the schism that tore liberalism apart. We experience the tumult of Nixon's America and John Lindsay's New York City, as festering division explodes into violence. Nixon's advisors realize that this tragic turn is their chance, that the Democratic coalition has collapsed and that "these, quite candidly, are our people now." In this nail-biting story, Kuhn delivers on meticulous research and reporting, drawing from thousands of pages of never-before-seen records. We go back to a harrowing day that explains the politics of today. We experience the battle between two tribes fighting different wars, soon to become different Americas, ultimately reliving a liberal war that maimed both sides. We come to see how it all was laid bare one brutal day, when the Democratic Party's future was bludgeoned by its past, as if it was a last gasp to say that we once mattered too.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, Note: 1,7, Georg-August-Universitat Gottingen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Harry Potter-Romane erweisen sich uber alle Landergrenzen hinaus als Kassenschlager. Filme werden gedreht, illegale Raubkopien kursieren im Internet und Buchladen fuhren Sonderveranstaltungen zu den Erscheinungsterminen der Folgeromane durch. Kinder, Jugendliche und Erwachsene lesen die Bucher Joann K. Rowlings mit grosser Begeisterung und es bilden sich Fan-Foren im Internet, in denen eifrig uber die Auslegung der Harry Potter-Elemente debattiert wird. Was also ist das Erfolgsrezept der Romanreihe? Aus welchen Zutaten setzen sich die Bucher zusammen? Aus literaturwissenschaftlicher Sicht ist die Gattung der Harry Potter-Romane irgendwo zwischen Phantastischer Literatur, Abenteuerroman, Internatsgeschichte, Kriminalgeschichte und Adoleszenzroman anzusiedeln (vgl. Bak 2004, S. 88; Karg & Mende 2010, S. 184). Selten und wenn, dann meist zuletzt, konstatiert man auch marchenhafte Einflusse (vgl. Mattenklott 2001, S. 34). Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es diese marchenhaften Elemente zu finden und kritisch zu hinterfragen. Dabei soll nicht die Behauptung bewiesen werden, dass die Harry Potter Romane zur Gattung Marchen" gehoren wurden. Dies soll auf Grundlage des ersten Bandes Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen geschehen, da eine Analyse anhand mehrerer Bande der Reihe den Rahmen dieser Arbeit uberschreiten wurde
