Classic Hollywood, Classic Whiteness - Daniel Bernardi - Bog - University of Minnesota Press - Plusbog.dk

Classic Hollywood, Classic Whiteness - Daniel Bernardi - Bog - University of Minnesota Press - Plusbog.dk

Leading scholars address the myriad ways in which America’s attitudes about race informed the production of Hollywood films from the 1920s through the 1960s. From the predominantly white star system to segregated mise-en-scènes, Hollywood films reinforced institutionalized racism. The contributors to this volume examine how assumptions about white superiority and colored inferiority and the politics of segregation and assimilation affected Hollywood’s classic period.

Kafka - Gilles Deleuze - Bog - University of Minnesota Press - Plusbog.dk

Kafka - Gilles Deleuze - Bog - University of Minnesota Press - Plusbog.dk

In this classic of critical thought, Deleuze and Guattari challenge conventional interpretations of Kafka's work. Instead of exploring preexisting categories or literary genres, they propose a concept of "minor literature"—the use of a major language that subverts it from within. Writing as a Jew in Prague, they contend, Kafka made German "take flight on a line of escape" and joyfully became a stranger within it. His work therefore serves as a model for understanding all critical language that must operate within the confines of the dominant language and culture.

Lob Trees In The Wilderness - Clifford Ahlgren - Bog - University of Minnesota Press - Plusbog.dk

Lob Trees In The Wilderness - Clifford Ahlgren - Bog - University of Minnesota Press - Plusbog.dk

The classic account of human impact on the North Woods. Along the Minnesota-Ontario border, in the days of voyageurs, tall trees were used as guideposts in the uncharted wilderness to help fur traders and explorers find their way through the maze of lakes and portages. Branches were cut, leaving the middle of the trees bare with branches above and below. Clifford and Isabel Ahlgren, two of the most knowledgeable ecologists of the area, use nine native trees to serve as lob trees for this book, an ecological history of human activity in the Quetico-Superior wilderness area.

Gone Is Gone - Wanda Gag - Bog - University of Minnesota Press - Plusbog.dk

Gone Is Gone - Wanda Gag - Bog - University of Minnesota Press - Plusbog.dk

The classic illustrated folktale by the author of Millions of Cats-now back in print after nearly thirty years!Gone Is Gone addresses an age-old question between couples-who works harder? This long-out-of-print children’s book is based on a charming Bohemian tale recited to Wanda GÁg when she was a child, and is now once again available to enchant audiences of all ages. The tale’s sly peasant humor and conversational style combined with GÁg’s expressive black-and-white illustrations made the book an instant classic. In this delightful story we meet Fritzl, who lives on a farm with his wife Liesi and their baby. Fritzl works hard in the fields every day. Liesi works hard all day, too, but Fritzl somehow feels that he works harder. When he complains about how hard he works and how easy Liesi has it, doing nothing but “putter and potter about the house a bit,” Liesi calls his bluff and suggests they trade places. The hilarious outcomes of Fritzl’s calamitous day at home are portrayed in GÁg’s singular illustrations. In the end Fritzl admits that Liesi’s work is “none too easy” and begs to return to his fields and not do housework another day. “Well then,” says Liesi, “if that’s how it is, we surely can live in peace and happiness for ever and ever.”

Homeward To Zion - William Mulder - Bog - University of Minnesota Press - Plusbog.dk

The classic history of this emblematic moment in U.S. immigration. In the late nineteenth century, thirty thousand Mormons from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland immigrated to Utah, dissatisfied with conditions in their homelands. As their countrymen were farming rich fields in other parts of the United States, Scandinavian Mormons were making their way to Salt Lake City. Homeward to Zion tracks this movement from northern Europe to the western desert, examining the Mormon recruiting efforts in Scandinavia as well as the arduous journey across the Great Plains. Mulder draws extensively from personal narratives of these immigrants to relate their pioneering experience and their role in the history of Scandinavian migration and of the settlement of the American West.
