Art was Their Weapon
The Workers' Art Guild was a radical cultural and political force in Perth in the 1930s and 1940s, embracing new ideas in a provincial, isolated city. The Guild's innovative approaches to theatre and art were praised by critics, but its left-wing politics, influenced by the Communist Party of Australia, were denounced by many. Police and intelligence officers kept close tabs on the Guild, censoring its activities and intimidating and jailing its members in the lead-up to World War II. Through the lives of its key players, such as writer Katharine Susannah Prichard and theatre maverick Keith George, this book illuminates a fascinating era in Western Australian history and charts the influence of the Communist Party on Western Australian artists.

Veronica Brady
Veronica Brady (1929-2015) was a nun, academic and activist. Her intellectual life, firmly rooted in Australian culture, was focussed on stripping the thin veneer of our dominant materialistic culture to forge a greater understanding of our place in a more just world. One-time member of the ABC Board, Brady was a wine-loving, bike-riding, diminutive figure with a fierce reputation for plain speaking. An expert on Australian literature, and living life as a "communist" in a community of Loreto nuns, teaching, she cut a non-conformist figure in an age when the humanist values she upheld seemed increasingly under threat. She strove to defend them with a sharp mind, a contemporary Christian theo...
Country and Midwestern
The untold story of Chicago’s pivotal role as a country and folk music capital. Chicago is revered as a musical breeding ground, having launched major figures like blues legend Muddy Waters, gospel soul icon Mavis Staples, hip-hop firebrand Kanye West, and the jazz-rock band that shares its name with the city. Far less known, however, is the vital role Chicago played in the rise of prewar country music, the folk revival of the 1950s and 1960s, and the contemporary offspring of those scenes. In Country and Midwestern, veteran journalist Mark Guarino tells the epic century-long story of Chicago’s influence on sounds typically associated with regions further south. Drawing on hundreds of in...

Comme promis
Quand vinrent les années 70, on croisait souvent encore, « sur la route », des « anges vagabonds », des « clochards célestes » si chers à Jack Kérouac. Beatniks, hippies, chevaliers errants des temps modernes, en quête d’amour, de paix et de liberté, en marge d’une société restée conformiste, baignant dans la consommation, ils allaient, le pouce levé, par « les grands chemins ». Paris, Londres, Amsterdam, Copenhague, Ibiza, Istanbul, Tanger, Marrakech... Les plus hardis, ou les plus fous, ralliaient Katmandou, Bénarès ou San Francisco. Comme promis raconte ce qu’il advint d’un garçon et d’une fille qui se rencontrèrent alors.

That problem comes in the shape of her rebellious sixteen-year-old daughter, Ruby, who has been skipping school—along with her friend Dylan, who just happens to be the son of the high school principal, Cam Hyde.

Together, Cam and Sarah face not only the challenge of steering their children back on the right path but giving the feelings between them room to grow. Then the kids really start acting out.
