But there's little on his legendary speech and how he came to write it. Martin Luther King, Jr. was once asked if the hardest part of preaching was knowing where to begin. No, he said. The hardest part is knowing where to end. "It's terrible to be circling up there without a place to land." Finding this place to land was what Martin Luther King, Jr. struggled with, alongside advisors and fellow speech writers, in the Willard Hotel the night before the March on Washington, where he gave his historic "I Have a Dream" speech. But those famous words were never intended to be heard on that day, not even written down for that day, not even once. Barry Wittenstein teams up with legendary illustrator Jerry Pinkney to tell the story of how, against all odds, Martin found his place to land.

In Search of Ulster-Scots Land

In Search of Ulster-Scots Land

Barry Aron Vann

University of South Carolina Press
2008
sidottu
This is a cultural geographic view on Scots-Irish immigration from Ulster to the Bible Belt. Drawing insights from geography, history, social psychology, sociology, and theology, Vann investigates the ways in which Scottish Calvinism affected the sense of identity and the migrations of native Scots first to Ulster and then to the American South. Vann presents a geographical perspective on the migrations of Scots to Ulster, showing that most population flows involving southwest Scotland during the first half of seventeenth century were directed across the Irish Sea via centuries-old sea routes that had allowed for the formation of evolving cultural areas. As political or religious motivational factors presented themselves in the last half of that century, Vann holds, the established social and familial links stretched along those sea routes facilitated chain migration that led to the birth of a Protestant Ulster-Scots community - a community constituted along religious and institutional rubrics of dissent from the monarch's churches. Within a century of the birth of this ""Ulster-Scots Land,"" five immigration waves to America served as conduits for diffusing significant elements of that culture to the upper American South where the Scots-Irish presence helped to form the cultural area referred to as the Bible Belt. Vann maps this significant portion of the South's ethnic mosaic to show the genesis of the educational, political, and religious institutions that stem from Ulster Scots' presence. With such deeply ingrained values, the southern Scots Irish have influenced the region's staunchly conservative belief systems and political ideology.

Protests, Land Rights, and Riots

Protests, Land Rights, and Riots

Barry Morris

Berghahn Books
2014
sidottu
The 1970s saw the Aboriginal people of Australia struggle for recognition of their postcolonial rights. Rural communities, where large Aboriginal populations lived, were provoked as a consequence of social fragmentation, unparalleled unemployment, and other major economic and political changes. The ensuing riots, protests, and law-and-order campaigns in New South Wales captured the tense relations that existed between indigenous people, the police, and the criminal justice system. In Protests, Land Rights, and Riots, Barry Morris shows how neoliberal policies in Australia targeted those who were least integrated socially and culturally, and who enjoyed fewer legitimate economic opportunities. Amidst intense political debate, struggle, and conflict, new forces were unleashed as a post-settler colonial state grappled with its past. Morris provides a social analysis of the ensuing effects of neoliberal policy and the way indigenous rights were subsequently undermined by this emerging new political orthodoxy in the 1990s.

The Man Who Loved the Midnight Lady / In the Stone House

Barry N Malzberg

Stark House Press
2021
pokkari
Barry N. Malzberg has been called "outrageous and outraged" Theodore Sturgeon], "wildly imaginative, and darkly hilarious" Brian Doherty], and "a comic genius" Michael Hurd]. He has written over 70 novels, and has published at least 15 story collections, including the two you hold here in your hand-The Man Who Loved the Midnight Lady (1980) and In the Stone House (2000). Malzberg is known for writing science fiction, crime, erotica, political thrillers and action adventure. He has written some marvelous what-if stories that play with 20th century history, and a series of satiric stories featuring thinly-veiled famous authors. His plots range from religious allegory and time conundrum, to assassination and ascension. He has written fictional stories about everyone from Christopher Columbus to Ring Lardner, from Adolph Hitler to Bobby Kennedy. You will even find a dinosaur or two. These two volumes of classic Malzberg extravaganzas contain fifty-four stories from his long and varied career-including a road trip tale with Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler, an essay on 1950s science fiction, extrapolations on Emily Dickinson and ruminations on Cornell Woolrich.

R Barry O'Brien

Westphalia Press
2024
pokkari
The Parliamentary History of the Irish Land Question is a significant historical work written by R. Barry O'Brien. The book delves into the complex and contentious issue of land ownership and land reform in Ireland, specifically focusing on the debates and legislative actions that took place in the British Parliament.The Irish Land Question was a central issue during the 19th and early 20th centuries, revolving around the unequal distribution of land ownership in Ireland and the grievances of tenant farmers who faced unfair treatment by landlords. This issue was intertwined with broader questions of Irish nationalism, home rule, and the relationship between Ireland and Britain.Published in the late 19th century, O'Brien's work is an important historical resource for understanding the dynamics of land reform, political debates, and the broader context of Ireland's relationship with Britain during a critical period in its history.This new edition is dedicated to Dermot McMahon, able teacher in far lands and proud son of Ireland.
