Bill Minutaglio, "In Search of the Blues: A Journey to the Soul of Black Texas"
English | 2010 | ISBN: 0292722893 | 184 pages | EPUB | 2.4 MB
The rich, complex lives of African Americans in Texas were often neglected by the mainstream media, which historically seldom ventured into Houston's Fourth Ward, San Antonio's East Side, South Dallas, or the black neighborhoods in smaller cities. When Bill Minutaglio began writing for Texas newspapers in the 1970s, few large publications had more than a token number of African American journalists, and they barely acknowledged the things of lasting importance to the African American community. Though hardly the most likely reporter―as a white, Italian American transplant from New York City―for the black Texas beat, Minutaglio was drawn to the African American heritage, seeking its soul in churches, on front porches, at juke joints, and anywhere else that people would allow him into their lives. His nationally award-winning writing offered many Americans their first deeper understanding of Texas's singular, complicated African American history. This eclectic collection gathers the best of Minutaglio's writing about the soul of black Texas. He profiles individuals both unknown and famous, including blues legends Lightnin' Hopkins, Amos Milburn, Robert Shaw, and Dr. Hepcat. He looks at neglected, even intentionally hidden, communities. And he wades into the musical undercurrent that touches on African Americans' joys, longings, and frustrations, and the passing of generations. Minutaglio's stories offer an understanding of the sweeping evolution of music, race, and justice in Texas. Moved forward by the musical heartbeat of the blues and defined by the long shadow of racism, the stories measure how far Texas has come . . . or still has to go.

Red State Blues: How the Conservative Revolution Stalled in the States by Matt Grossmann
English | Oct 31, 2019 | ISBN: 1108476910, 1108701752 | 204 pages | PDF | 6 MB
Over the last quarter century, a nationalized and increasingly conservative Republican Party made unprecedented gains at the state level, winning control of twenty-four new state governments. Liberals and conservatives alike anticipated far-reaching consequences, but what has the Republican revolution in the states achieved? Red State Blues shows that, contrary to liberals' fears, conservative state governments have largely failed to enact policies that advance conservative goals or reverse prior liberal gains. Matt Grossmann tracks policies and socioeconomic outcomes across all 50 states, interviews state insiders, and considers the full issue agenda. Although Republicans have been effective at staying in power, they have not substantially altered the nature or reach of government. Where they have had policy victories, the consequences on the ground have been surprisingly limited. A sober assessment of Republican successes and failures after decades of electoral victories, Red State Blues highlights the stark limits of the conservative ascendancy.

Nabokov's Blues: The Scientific Odyssey of a Literary Genius By Kurt Johnson, Steve Coates
1999 | 395 Pages | ISBN: 1581950098 | PDF | 6 MB
Although he had no formal training in biology, during the 1940s Vladimir Nabokov was an acknowledged expert on Blues, a diverse group of butterflies inhabiting some of the remotest parts of Latin America. In 1945, while serving as curator at Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology, he published a radical new classification of Blues, a paper that initially caused a stir in the rarified field of lepidoptery.After the war, with the increasing movement of science toward theory and specialization, his groundbreaking work was largely forgotten. With the publication of Lolita in 1958 Nabokov himself turned away from formal scientific lepidoptery, though he never gave up his great love of collecting butterflies. It was nearly fifty years before scientists followed up on his pioneering work with a series of expeditions to the high Andes of South America. What they found led not only to new thinking about Nabokov's place in science but to fresh insights on the global movement of species and the threat of their extinction.Part biography of one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, and part scientific detective story, Nabokov's Blues explores the rich and varied place butterflies hold in Nabokov's fiction, as well as far-reaching questions of biogeography and evolution, and the worldwide crisis in ecology and biodiversity.
