The Only Game That Matters
As Harvard graduate Roger Angell once said, “The Game picks us up each November and holds us for two hours and...all of us, homeward bound, sense that we are different yet still the same. It is magic.” For hundreds of thousands of alumni and fans, the annual clash between Harvard and Yale inspires a sense of nostalgia and pride unequaled anywhere in sports. For much of the year Ivy League football is overshadowed by powerhouse programs such as Miami and Michigan. But not on the third Saturday of November, when all eyes turn to New England for the legendary battle between the Crimson and the Blue. In The Only Game That Matters, Bernard M. Corbett and Paul Simpson explore what makes this i...
Gambling with Failure
This unique look at learned and acquired cultures explores the power and weaknesses of society, especially as it applies to those of Italian heritage. A strong argument is made for ethnic, cultural, and political independence; the importance of failure in relation to culture is also stressed.
Exterminated Angel
Gerald Godin gives us an astonishing first novel written in the tradition of the American thriller with a journalist whom Humphrey Bogart would have liked to have played as the protagonist.
Harvard Football
The storied history of Harvard University football can be traced back to the very roots of the collegiate game in America. Harvard's athletic contest with McGill University in 1874 marked the inception of the modern game for the Crimson. The club from Cambridge then went on to become one of the dominant football programs of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, winning seven national championships between 1890 and 1919, culminating with its Rose Bowl victory over Oregon in January 1920. Since 1956, the team has been a perennial contender in the Ivy League. Images of Sports: Harvard Football captures all the drama and excitement of the pioneering football program's legacy. Included are the exploits of Charlie Brickley in the 1910s and Barry Wood in the 1930s; the school's first Ivy League title in 1961 and the 29-29 "victory" over Yale in the most famous of all one hundred eighteen riveting match-ups. The captivating images included in Harvard Football detail these accounts up to the Crimson's 2001 run to perfection, a 9-0-0 record, marking the first undefeated, untied season in eighty-eight years.
Happy Slaves
In this duologue, William Anselmi and Kosta Gouliamos bring to a head their racial revisioning of the stale concepts of (multi)cultural politics. They discuss and dissect the irrationalities and destructiveness that have undermined the modern techniques of the neocolonial elites and demonstrate how these hegemonic elites have brought about social disruption and ethnocultural extermination on a scale never before conceivable. Instead of being an anti-thesis to the elites' practices, 'Happy Slaves' seeks to establish an organic critical apparatus. Such an apparatus is essential if citizens are ever to gain control over the dehumanised fantasies and aggressions that threaten to enslave the entire world.
Mary Melfi
Expanding on her analysis of the Canadian literary canon, this collection of essays offers an in-depth look at accomplished writer Mary Melfi. Focusing on a variety of genres, from poetry and the novel to drama and the modern fairy tale, this volume expertly establishes the timeless relevance of Melfi's work. Featured contributors--including Domenico D'Alessandro, Lise Hogan, and Marino Tuzi--explore issues such as her emphasis on displacement, irony, ethnicity, class, and gender.
