Vietnam at 24 Frames a Second

A Critical and Thematic Analysis of 360 Films About the Vietnam War

By: Jeremy M. Devine

Beginning in 1948 with Paramount's Saigon and Universal's Rogue's Regiment, Hollywood has produced hundreds of features and made-for-television films about Vietnam and the ensuing conflict. With the exception of The Green Berets (1968), few were designed to rally Americans to the cause as earlier war movies had done. Many were not even combat films, instead dealing with such domestic issues as protests, veteran re-entry, MIAs and POWs. Arranged chronologically, this is a critical analysis of Vietnam War films from 1948 through 1993. Recurring themes are stressed along with the ways that movie America reflected the national reality, with essays blending plot synopses and critical commentary. The movies run the gamut of genres: dramas, action, adventure, horror, comedies and even one musical.

Tucson

A History of the Old Pueblo from the 1854 Gadsden Purchase

By: David Devine

Once considered the "Metropolis of Arizona," Tucson is in many respects a college town with a major military base onto which a retirement community has been grafted. A sprawling city of one million in the Sonoran Desert, Tucson was developed during and especially for the second half of the 20th century, a reality which has left it possibly unprepared for the challenges of the 21st century. Tracing the remarkable history of Tucson since 1854, this book describes many aspects of the community--its ceremonies and customs, its early bitter battle to secure the University of Arizona, its multitude of problems, its noteworthy successes and its racial divides. The recollections of those who have made Tucson such a memorable place are included, from political leaders to celebrities to ordinary residents.

Wow!

By: James G. Devine

This book is a collection of wonderful short stories. The longer stories include a young boy who purchases a used trunk at the thrift store only to discover it is magical. Two brothers investigate a murder during the winter months while at the cottage. A bully takes control of life at school and one boy decides to stand up to her. A selection of stories from a book of Grimms Fairy Tales comes to life while a boy sleeps at night. The final story brings to a conclusion a story started in another book titled Echoes from the Classroom. This is definitely a book that once you start reading is hard to put down.

Turning Right and Keeping Straight

How God’s Love, Mercy, and Amazing Grace Continues to Manifest

By: Faith Devine

Nibila’s Testimony! I absolutely know the power of the name Jesus! I began to call on Jesus early on in my youth. Having parents who love you unconditionally was God’s first manifestation to me and what I will cherish the most from him. My journey to a deeper relationship evolved much later in my fifties. The twists and left turns began once I became a woman in my early teens. It was then I began to navigate through life ignoring the GPS (God’s perfect solutions) for my life. It was Jesus who kept me and that still small voice who guided me time and time again out of my detours, roadblocks, potholes, fender benders, and the head-on collisions that I willingly drove right into before giving Jesus full control of me. God’s love, mercy, and amazing grace continue to manifest in my life today. Jesus continues turning me right and keeping me straight and focused on his love, which is for all who believe in Christ Jesus.

Native and National in Brazil

Indigeneity After Independence

By: Tracy Devine Guzmán

How do the lives of indigenous peoples relate to the romanticized role of "Indians" in Brazilian history, politics, and cultural production? Native and National in Brazil charts this enigmatic relationship from the sixteenth century to the present, focusing on the consolidation of the dominant national imaginary in the postindependence period and highlighting Native peoples' ongoing work to decolonize it. Engaging issues ranging from sovereignty, citizenship, and national security to the revolutionary potential of art, sustainable development, and the gendering of ethnic differences, Tracy Devine Guzman argues that the tensions between popular renderings of "Indianness" and lived indigenous experience are critical to the unfolding of Brazilian nationalism, on the one hand, and the growth of the Brazilian indigenous movement, on the other. Devine Guzmán suggests that the "indigenous question" now posed by Brazilian indigenous peoples themselves-how to be Native and national at the same time-can help us to rethink national belonging in accordance with the protection of human rights, the promotion of social justice, and the consolidation of democratic governance for indigenous and nonindigenous citizens alike.

The day his bride threw a temper tantrum and refused to walk down the aisle was the happiest day of Sam Garrison's life. To free himself forever from the spoiled brat's clutches, the cynical Montana rancher needed a new fiancée--just until he could get out of New York and back home where he belonged. Julianne Montgomery, the beautiful cousin of the bride, seemed the perfect choice; she was practical enough to treat the whole matter as a business proposition. If only she weren't also so dangerously tempting. Her smooth ivory skin begged for his caress, her full red lips nearly cried out for his kiss...and soon their business relationship was the last thing on his mind!" -Back cover.
