Book excerpt: From Out of the Shadows was the first full study of Mexican-American women in the twentieth century. Beginning with the first wave of Mexican women crossing the border early in the century, historian Vicki L. Ruiz reveals the struggles they have faced and the communities they have built. In a narrative enhanced by interviews and personal stories, she shows how from labor camps, boxcar settlements, and urban barrios, Mexican women nurtured families, worked for wages, built extended networks, and participated in community associations--efforts that helped Mexican Americans find their own place in America. She also narrates the tensions that arose between generations, as the parents tried to rein in young daughters eager to adopt American ways. Finally, the book highlights the various forms of political protest initiated by Mexican-American women, including civil rights activity and protests against the war in Vietnam. For this new edition of From Out of the Shadows, Ruiz has written an afterword that continues the story of the Mexicana experience in the United States, as well as outlines new additions to the growing field of Latina history.

Book excerpt: In this appealing autobiography, Rose Cohen looks back on her family's journey from Tsarist Russia to New York City's Lower East Side. Her account of their struggles and of her own coming of age in a complex new world vividly illustrates what was, for some, the American experience. First published in 1918, Cohen's narrative conveys a powerful sense of the aspirations and frustrations of an immigrant Jewish family in an alien culture. With uncommon frankness, Cohen reports her youthful impressions of daily life in the tenements and of working conditions in garment sweatshops and domestic service. She introduces a large cast, including her co-workers, employers, mentors, family members, and friends. In simple yet moving terms, she recalls how, while confronting setbacks caused by poor health and dilemmas posed by courtship, she finds opportunities to educate herself. She also records the gradual weakening of her family's commitment to religion as they find their way from the shadow of poverty toward the mainstream of American life.

Book excerpt: After years of struggling with guilt and shame for being associated with a serial killer sitting on death row, a sister comes to grip with the fact that she and all family members of death row inmates are, indeed, victims as well. Although her brother was, indeed, guilty of his crimes and deserved to pay for the lives he took, society placed her into the same category as him and quickly labeled her guilty by association. Bringing public awareness to the loved ones of death row inmates is something that is frowned upon, and families are often warned by their lawyers not to do so, which leads to detrimental health issues for those family members. They are punished not only for being associated with the inmate but also for loving them and standing by their side despite the horrendous crime they committed. The death penalty brings about many more victims when an inmate is executed. Its grasp is so far-reaching, not only for the victims' families and inmates' families but also for so many others placed in a position they did not ask to be in but were so because of the crime our loved ones committed. The weight of carrying that pain as a result of what our loved one has done can sometimes become too much to bear, and because of that, we are not able to grieve the loss of someone we loved. It has been five years since her brother's execution, and although the healing process has been slow, by publicly sharing her journey with her brother, she hopes to help others begin their healing process as well.

Lee Thompson’s 1962 original and Martin Scorsese’s 1991 remake; and a pair of Clint Eastwood films, In the Line of Fire and Blood Work.

Read and Download Alice Maurice book The Cinema and Its Shadow in PDF, EPub, Mobi, Kindle online. Free book TThe Cinema and Its Shadow. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 400 pages. Book excerpt: The Cinema and Its Shadow argues that race has defined the cinematic apparatus since the earliest motion pictures, especially at times of technological transition. In particular, this work explores how racial difference became central to the resolving of cinematic problems: the stationary camera, narrative form, realism, the synchronization of image and sound, and, perhaps most fundamentally, the immaterial image—the cinema’s “shadow,” which figures both the material reality of the screen image and its racist past. Discussing early “race subjects,” Alice Maurice demonstrates that these films influenced cinematic narrative in lasting ways by helping to determine the relation between stillness and motion, spectacle and narrative drive. The book examines how motion picture technology related to race, embodiment, and authenticity at specific junctures in cinema’s development, including the advent of narratives, feature films, and sound. In close readings of such films as The Cheat, Shadows, and Hallelujah!, Maurice reveals how the rhetoric of race repeatedly embodies film technology, endowing it with a powerful mix of authenticity and magic. In this way, the racialized subject became the perfect medium for showing off, shoring up, and reintroducing the cinematic apparatus at various points in the history of American film. Moving beyond analyzing race in purely thematic or ideological terms, Maurice traces how it shaped the formal and technological means of the cinema.
