The Irish Voice in America

250 Years of Irish-American Fiction

By: Charles Fanning

In this study, Charles Fanning has written the first general account of the origins and development of a literary tradition among American writers of Irish birth or background who have explored the Irish immigrant or ethnic experience in works of fiction. The result is a portrait of the evolving fictional self-consciousness of an immigrant group over a span of 250 years. Fanning traces the roots of Irish-American writing back to the eighteenth century and carries it forward through the traumatic years of the Famine to the present time with an intensely productive period in the twentieth century beginning with James T. Farrell. Later writers treated in depth include Edwin O'Connor, Elizabeth Cullinan, Maureen Howard, and William Kennedy. Along the way he places in the historical record many all but forgotten writers, including the prolific Mary Ann Sadlier. The Irish Voice in America is not only a highly readable contribution to American literary history but also a valuable reference to many writers and their works. For this second edition, Fanning has added a chapter that covers the fiction of the past decade. He argues that contemporary writers continue to draw on Ireland as a source and are important chroniclers of the modern American experience.

History of Louisiana

The French Domination

By: Charles Gayarre

The author of this comprehensive history was the first Louisiana historian to document his studies through research in the national archives of France and Spain. Originally published in 1854, this volume tells of the French in Louisiana. The impact felt by this French influence is still evident today in such areas as architecture, religion, and cuisine. As thorough as it is, this volume tells only the beginning of the story of France's influence of Louisiana, beginning with the first exploration of the Louisiana territory and extending well into the eighteenth century. The fascinating account of the French in Louisiana is completed in Volume II. While reading, one can also enjoy maps of Louisiana as it was during the time discussed.

The Great Lawrence Textile Strike of 1912

New Scholarship on the Bread & Roses Strike

By: Robert Forrant,Jurg K Siegenthaler,Charles Levenstein,John Wooding

In Lawrence, Massachusetts, fully one-half of the population 14 years of age or over is employed in the woolen and worsted mills and cotton mills". Thus begins the federal government's Report on Strike of Textile Workers in Lawrence, Massachusetts in 1912 . This book follows up, one hundred years later. The story's retelling offers readers an exciting reexamination of just how powerful a united working class can be. The Great Lawrence Textile Strike of 1912 - the Bread and Roses Strike - was a public protest by 20,000 to 25,000 immigrant workers from several countries, prompted by a wage cut. Backed by skillful neighborhood organizing, supported by hundreds of acts of solidarity, and unified by a commitment to respect every striker's nationality and language, the walkout spread across the city's densely packed tenements. Defying the assumptions of mill owners and conservative trade unionists alike that largely female and ethnically diverse workers could not be organized, the women activists, as one mill boss described them, were full of "lots of cunning and also lots of bad temper. They're everywhere, and it's getting worse all the time." Events in Lawrence between January 11 and March 25, 1912, changed labor history. In this volume the authors tackle the strike story through new lenses and dispel assumptions that the citywide walkout was a spontaneous one led by outside agitators. They also discuss the importance of grasping the significance of events like the 1912 strike and engaging in the process of community remembrance. This book appeals to a wide constituency. Most directly, it is of great relevance to historians of labor, industrialization, immigration, and the development of cities, as well as researchers studying social movements. The story of the Bread and Roses Strike resonates strongly with social justice supporters, the women's movement, advocates for children's well-being, and anti-poverty organizations. Social studies and college-level teachers will find it a rich resource. Graduate-level students will find inspiration for further research. The Bread and Roses strike has excellent name recognition and has always had a considerable international audience.

Retreat, a Story of 1918

By: Charles Richard Benstead

Retreat is based on the authors combat experiences as a British Fifth Army artillery officer during the massive German advance in March 1918. The book centers on the British retreat as experienced by an egotistical chaplain ill suited to combat. The soldiers have little interest in religion and the pacifist priest is useless in their environment. Juxtaposed against the chaplain is a battle-fatigued officer who maintains his courage in the face of insurmountable odds through an empowering sense of national duty. In this theater of battle, the author describes the cruel injustices of the war as he knew it and the inadequacies of religion to address the harsh circumstances on the front.

A MURDER OF CROWS

AMERICA’S RAUCOUS RIGHT-WING

By: CHARLES E. CROCKETT

BACK COVER: Detailing the far-right’s attempts to alter the American political and economic landscape to satisfy its national ambitions, A MURDER OF CROWS identifies over 100 people and organizations who would seek to turn back America to a time of little governmental participation, lower tax rates for the wealthy, and a closely held corporate and personal control of society’s functions and finances. It exposes the real desires and naked zeal of those who would place property rights over the rights and the needs of the average American citizen. The text is well documented and provides a scathing indictment of those on the right who would wish to alter America’s future to serve only a very prosperous few.
