![]() But Rebecca decides to look deeper, and her journey takes her through old court records, slave ship captain's logs, crumbling correspondence, and even the forensic evidence from the bones of enslaved women from the "negro burying ground" uncovered in Manhattan. The accepted history of slave revolts has always told her that enslaved women took a back seat. Rebecca Hall, a historian, granddaughter of slaves, and a woman haunted by the legacy of slavery. They fought their enslavers throughout the Americas. ![]() Women warriors planned and led slave revolts on slave ships during the Middle Passage. ![]() Part graphic novel, part memoir, Wake is an imaginative tour-de-force that tells the story of women-led slave revolts and chronicles scholar Rebecca Hall's efforts to uncover the truth about these women warriors who, until now, have been left out of the historical record. ![]() ![]() ![]() The fact that we are even conditioned into having to pick sides, both actively and retroactively, in past events, is baffling. And this is what made the reading so important and meaningful for me. ![]() ![]() American denial of race issues, Russian denial of colonial past, Jewish denial of the Palestinian genocide: it’s all complex ambiguities that are cancelled out by the political correctness. What she writes about her cultural upbringing is fascinating, and akin to the many cultures of denial that I witness. Yes, inherited trauma, all that, but it seems like a reductive way to build one’s narrative.īut I also understand where Krug is coming from. I feel the same way about children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors, by the way. ![]() It seems overindulgent to me to put oneself at the forefront of a particular historical event, especially if you had nothing to do with it, and are just trying to make sense of your long-dead grandparents. That said, I am normally peeved when I encounter narratives of identity, especially when they come from positions of privilege. I was a little jealous-how can Nora Krug be simultaneously so good at both illustration and writing?-but also extremely inspired to experiment with the visuals in my own writing. This is one of the most visually beautiful books that I’ve ever read, which at the same time treats the reader to some really great creative nonfiction. ![]() ![]() But in the actual work of Jean Shepherd, the radio raconteur and author who first wrote these stories for radio, magazines, and novels, a darker message is at play that resonates uncannily well today.Īmong other things, Shepherd’s tales are about the role of mass communications and consumerism in American life. ![]() ![]() ![]() To most people, fans and detractors alike, the movie is about nothing more than nostalgia, an idealized look at the pains and pleasures of childhood. The film follows Ralphie Parker and his family - mom, dad (“The Old Man”), and brother Randy - through a holiday season at the tail end of the Great Depression, with the primary plot revolving around Ralphie’s crazy desire for a BB gun, or as he puts it, an “official Red Ryder, carbine action, 200-shot, range model air rifle, with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time.” His longing meets frustration after frustration as adults, including his mother, his teacher, and a department store Santa Claus, tell him, “You’ll shoot your eye out.” Some people love it others hate it and still others see it as part of the anodyne backdrop to the march toward Christmas. ![]() Cable channels TBS and TNT feature the TV marathon “24 Hours of A Christmas Story.” It is a polarizing bit of popular culture.

Get briefed on the story of the week, and developing stories to watch across the Asia-Pacific. Every historian, he explained, “is situated in a point-moment of time, and he can only observe the universe from this shifting point-moment in his very brief life.” Urban and Toynbee agreed that historians bring to their studies their own prejudices and biases. Toynbee acknowledged that all historians’ views of history are shaped by their life experiences as well as their research. The first part of the dialogue dealt with Toynbee’s approaches to the study of history. Urban had familiarized himself with Toynbee’s magisterial A Study of History and his lesser works. The Toynbee-Urban dialogue consisted of twelve radio discussions in 19 that were published in 1974 under the title Toynbee on Toynbee. More than two years later, Toynbee sat down with George Urban, the Hungarian writer who moved to England in 1948, wrote for Encounter magazine, and worked for the BBC and Radio Free Europe. ![]() ![]() A few weeks ago, I wrote in these pages about the fascinating 1970 dialogue between Arnold Toynbee and Japanese professor Kei Wakaizumi, which was later edited and published in book form as Surviving the Future. ![]() |
