The rhetorical presumption of war's necessity makes violence
regrettable, but seemingly sane, and functions to shame anyone who
opposes military action. Ivie proposes that the presence of dissent
is actually a healthy sign of democratic citizenship, and a
responsible and productive act, which has been dangerously miscast
as a threat to national security. Ivie, a former US Navy petty
officer, puts a microscope to the language of war supporters
throughout history and follows the lives and memories of soldiers
and anti-war activists who have dealt with degrees of confusion and
guilt about their opposition to war. Arguing that informed dissent
plays out largely in the realm of rhetoric, he equips readers with
strategies for resisting the dehumanizing language used in war
propaganda. Through his careful study of language strategies, he
makes it possible to foster a community where dissenting voices are
valued and vital.
Brooklyn Modern is the first book to explore the connection between
Brooklyn’s astounding rebirth and its emerging architecture. As
the new cultural heart of New York, Brooklyn has recently attracted
many young people interested in creating their own sense of space,
as well as in renovating brownstones and townhouses. The results
are homes that express the optimism, resourcefulness, and
experimentation of many of Brooklyn’s bohemian residents.
Cutting-edge new public buildings have also enhanced the area’s
cachet.Working with spatial and financial restraints, architects in
Brooklyn have demonstrated deft solutions to urban living
everywhere. Likewise, the architects working in Brooklyn are no
longer just local firms, but "star-chitects" such as Frank Gehry,
Richard Meier, and David Adjaye, among others. Essays by two very
popular bloggers, Grace Bonney of Design*Sponge and Jonathan Butler
of Brownstoner, give perspective on new ways of living as
aesthetics and landscape change.
