Children of Rus'

Right-Bank Ukraine and the Invention of a Russian Nation

By: Faith Hillis

In Children of Rus', Faith Hillis recovers an all but forgotten chapter in the history of the tsarist empire and its southwestern borderlands. The right bank, or west side, of the Dnieper River—which today is located at the heart of the independent state of Ukraine—was one of the Russian empire’s last territorial acquisitions, annexed only in the late eighteenth century. Yet over the course of the long nineteenth century, this newly acquired region nearly a thousand miles from Moscow and St. Petersburg generated a powerful Russian nationalist movement. Claiming to restore the ancient customs of the East Slavs, the southwest’s Russian nationalists sought to empower the ordinary Orthodox residents of the borderlands and to diminish the influence of their non-Orthodox minorities.Right-bank Ukraine would seem unlikely terrain to nourish a Russian nationalist imagination. It was among the empire’s most diverse corners, with few of its residents speaking Russian as their native language or identifying with the culture of the Great Russian interior. Nevertheless, as Hillis shows, by the late nineteenth century, Russian nationalists had established a strong foothold in the southwest’s culture and educated society; in the first decade of the twentieth, they secured a leading role in local mass politics. By 1910, with help from sympathetic officials in St. Petersburg, right-bank activists expanded their sights beyond the borderlands, hoping to spread their nationalizing agenda across the empire.Exploring why and how the empire’s southwestern borderlands produced its most organized and politically successful Russian nationalist movement, Hillis puts forth a bold new interpretation of state-society relations under tsarism as she reconstructs the role that a peripheral region played in attempting to define the essential characteristics of the Russian people and their state.

Utopia's Discontents

Russian Émigrés and the Quest for Freedom, 1830s-1930s

By: Faith Hillis

In April 1917, Lenin arrived at Petrograd's Finland Station and set foot on Russian soil for the first time in over a decade. For most of the past seventeen years, the Bolshevik leader had lived in exile, moving between Europe's many "Russian colonies"--large and politically active communities of émigrés in London, Paris, and Geneva, among other cities. Thousands of fellow exiles who followed Lenin on his eastward trek in 1917 were in a similar predicament. The returnees plunged themselves into politics, competing to shape the future of a vast country recently liberated from tsarist rule. Yet these activists had been absent from their homeland for so long that their ideas reflected the Russia imagined by residents of the faraway colonies as much as they did events on the ground. The 1917 revolution marked the dawn of a new day in Russian politics, but it also represented the continuation of decades-long conversations that had begun in emigration and were exported back to Russia. Faith Hillis examines how émigré communities evolved into revolutionary social experiments in the heart of bourgeois cities. Feminists, nationalist activists, and Jewish intellectuals seeking to liberate and uplift populations oppressed by the tsarist regime treated the colonies as utopian communities, creating new networks, institutions, and cultural practices that reflected their values and realized the ideal world of the future in the present. The colonies also influenced their European host societies, informing international debates about the meaning of freedom on both the left and the right. Émigrés' efforts to transform the world played crucial roles in the articulation of socialism, liberalism, anarchism, and Zionism across borders. But they also produced unexpected--and explosive--discontents that defined the course of twentieth-century history. This groundbreaking transnational work demonstrates the indelible marks the Russian colonies left on European politics, legal cultures, and social practices, while underscoring their role during a pivotal period of Russian history.

Bob Hope

A Life In Comedy

By: William Robert Faith,William Faith

Reporter: "What's it like to be Bob Hope?"Hope: "I wouldn't have it any other way."From Bob Hope's early career as an upstart among professionals like Jack Benny and Milton Berle in the rollicking world of traveling comedians, to his blazing success as a radio, television, and film star, this completely revised and updated version of William Faith's acclaimed biography takes a straightforward, appreciative, and very funny look at Hope's life and times on the occasion of his 100th birthday. Filled with anecdotes, photographs, and plenty of jokes, the book reveals the real Bob Hope from his boyhood in England and youth in Cleveland to his present status as a living legend-a full-blooded, authentic appraisal of the man and his humor, a comic institution who is also a brilliant businessman, manipulator of the media, and politically influential figure. And of course Hope is the man who brought laughter and cheer (and long-legged beauties) to GIs throughout the world. At a time when patriotic fervor has never been running higher it's worth recalling the singular tribute paid Hope by none other than John Steinbeck: "When the time for recognition of service to the nation in wartime comes to be considered, Bob Hope should be high on the list.... He gets laughter wherever he goes from men who need laughter." Happy 100th, Bob!

Children, Young People and the Press in a Transitioning Society

Representations, Reactions and Criminalisation

By: Faith Gordon

This book assesses the implications of how children and young people are represented in print media in Northern Ireland – a post-conflict transitioning society. Gordon analyses how children and young people’s perceived involvement in anti-social and criminal behaviour is constructed and amplified in media, as well as in popular and political discourses. Drawing on deviancy amplification, folk devils and moral panics, this original study specifically addresses the labelling perspective and confirms that young people are convenient scapegoats – where their negative reputation diverts attention from the structural and institutional issues that are inevitable in a post-conflict society. Alongside content analysis from six months of print media and a case study on the representation of youth involvement in ‘sectarian’ rioting, this book also analyses interviews with editors, journalists, politicians, policy makers and a spokesperson for the Police Service of Northern Ireland. Noting the importance of prioritising the experiences of children, young people and their advocates, this timely and engaging research will be of specific interest to scholars and students of criminal justice, criminology, socio-legal studies, sociology, social policy, media studies, politics and law, as well as media professionals and policy makers.

Life

Light and Dark Joy and Anguish

By: Sister Mary Faith

When loving God, it is possible to move beyond the hope of a good outcome. In doing so, we begin to firmly believe that our destiny is God and heaven. In a compilation of Christian reflections and meditations accompanied by illustrations, Sister Mary Faith explores a variety of spiritual topics that include biblical references to light and dark in holy scripture, the annunciation, and the agony in the garden to gently remind all followers of the Lord that he is all-good, all-loving, and all-merciful, that each of us is responsible for making a conscious decision to follow him to enter bliss, and that in his eyes, we are all equally one of his children. Life: Light and Dark shares lyrical reflections and meditations that lead Christians on a journey inward to explore their faith in God while embracing his grace and steadfast love.

I am that B.I.T.C.H. (Blessed In The Church House) Lady

Volume 1

By: Faith Ta'Mistic Johnson

I am that B. I. T. C. H. lady, was and is divinely inspired by God, through dreams and visions. They were received in my spirit, to share and pass on with simple instructions. This "title" was birthed to keep us in line with our "kingdom-purpose destinations." This book is also a tool to keep us "hyped" about what God is really about in our lives and how He "loves" us! It also reflects the dreams and visions that I received from Him to build my ministry, for His kingdom purpose. If you just commit to reading every page in this book and apply the simple instructions that were revealed to me, I assure you that you will develop your own direct communication with God; and if you already have one, I am sure that you will be closer than before!

One Sister of Faith Packing Up

By: One Sister oF Faith

ONE SISTER OF FAITH PACKING UP" a book of Christian short stories and poems that Iwas inspired to writewhile going through a storm of trials and tribulations.While writing down some of my thoughts and personal experiences, I began to see myself in the storm, andalso my lack of faith.I could see were my trust in God had grown, thank God I knew to call apon him. Yet I still did not have the faith that I needed to walk away from being bound, trusting and believing that the same God who kept meduring those storms,is the same God able to keep me through all the storms in my life. I thank God for inspiring me to write at an early age. I thank him for the bells that woke me up in the early hours of the morning, so that I would read his word.I thank him because he had plans for my life and I am so glad that God never fails.
