The Stardust of Yesterday
While other casino-hotels came and went on the Las Vegas Strip, the Stardust stood steadfast through tremendous change, enduring for almost 50 years. Opening in Las Vegas' ingénue era of boom-or-bust development, it was the dream of bootlegging and gambling figure Tony Cornero, who died suddenly - some say suspiciously - just as the world's largest hotel and casino at the time was about to open. The Stardust's future would include an era immortalized in Nicholas Pileggi's Casino and the movie of the same name, and eventual legitimacy as part of modern corporate-run Las Vegas. Lavishly illustrated with archival photos and memorabilia, the legend will live on through The Stardust of Yesterday.
Muslim American Hyphenations
The essays in Muslim American Hyphenations: Cultural Production and Hybridity in the Twenty-first Century contest the lack of nuance in the public debates about American Islam and reclaim a self-determined identity by twenty-first century Muslim American writers, artists, and performers. Muslim American Hyphenations covers a wide spectrum of cultural representation based upon a shared religion that encompasses multiethnic and polylinguistic communities in the American landscape, challenging both the sacred-secular binary and the confines of multiculturalism. The contributors to this volume explore the codes of belonging in different American spheres, from transnational and local negotiations of immigrant and domestic Muslim Americans with nation, race, class, and gender, to the performance of faith in the creative manifestations of these identities. In their analyses, these scholars propose that Muslim American cultural productions provide an alternative space of dissensus and the utopian potentiality of connections with other minoritarian communities.
