Jim Tully
Jim Tully spent most of his teenage yers in the company of hoboes. Drifting across the country as a"road-kid", he spent those years scrambling into boxcars, sleeping in hobo jungles, avoiding railroad cops, begging meals from back doors, and haunting public libraries. After six years on the road, he jumped off a railfoad car in Kent, Ohio, with wild aspirations of becoming a writer. After moving to Hollywood, Tully quickly established himself as a major American author. - Book jacket.
On Global Citizenship
This book is open access and available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by Knowledge Unlatched. In his lead essay, Tully applies his distinctive philosophy to the global field of citizenship. The second part of the book contains responses from influential interlocutors including Bonnie Honig and Marc Stears, David Owen and Adam Dunn, Aletta Norval, Antony Laden, and Duncan Bell. These provide a commentary not just on the ideas contained in this volume, but on Tully's approach to political philosophy more generally, thus making the book an ideal first source for academics and students wishing to engage with Tully's work. The volume closes with a response from Tully to his interlocutors. This is the opening volume in Bloomsbury's Critical Powers series of dialogues between authors and their critics. It offers a stimulating read for students and scholars of political theory and philosophy, especially those engaged with questions of citizenship. It is an ideal first source for academics and students wishing to engage with Tully's work.
Circus Parade
Circus Parade originally published in 1927, presents the sordid but albeit fascinating side of life traveling with a small-time circus life during the 1920s in America. From "The Moss-Haired Girl" to "Whiteface" the clown, Tully paints a vivid picture of each of these troubled characters that make up his daily experience in the circus. Circus Parade was one of Tully's most successful books, both commercially and critically. This is by no means a romantic story about a boy joining the circus. Tully knows too well its seamier side. Instead, he paints a picture of life at the edges-earthy, wolfish, and brutal. Fans of Jack London, Jack Kerouac, John Steinbeck, Charles Bukowski, and hard-boiled writers of the 1930s will find a kindred spirit in Jim Tully.
Strange Multiplicity
In the inaugural set of Seeley Lectures, the distinguished political philosopher James Tully addresses the demands for cultural recognition that constitute the major conflicts of today: supranational associations, nationalism and federalism, linguistic and ethnic minorities, feminism, multiculturalism and aboriginal self government. Neither modern nor post-modern constitutionalism can adjudicate such claims justly. However, by surveying 400 years of constitutional practice, with special attention to the American aboriginal peoples, Tully develops a new philosophy of constitutionalism based on dialogues of conciliation which, he argues, have the capacity to mediate contemporary conflicts and bring peace to the twenty-first century. Strange Multiplicity brings profound historical, critical and philosophical perspectives to our most pressing contemporary conflicts, and provides an authoritative guide to constitutional possibilities in a multicultural age.
Beggars of Life
A young outlaw's adventures surviving the turn of the century underworld.
Resurgence and Reconciliation
The two major schools of thought in Indigenous-Settler relations on the ground, in the courts, in public policy, and in research are resurgence and reconciliation. Resurgence refers to practices of Indigenous self-determination and cultural renewal whereas reconciliation refers to practices of reconciliation between Indigenous and Settler nations, such as nation-with-nation treaty negotiations. Reconciliation also refers to the sustainable reconciliation of both Indigenous and Settler peoples with the living earth as the grounds for both resurgence and Indigenous-Settler reconciliation. Critically and constructively analyzing these two schools from a wide variety of perspectives and lived ex...
Shanty Irish
Jim Tully (1886-1947) was a vagabond, pugilist, and an American writer known as the most-hated man in Hollywood for his free-lance, an often unflattering, writings about celebrities. The New York World said "with its tales of brawls and battles, of drinking contests in the good old days in Ohio, Shanty Irish has all the imagery, the realism, the virile characterization of Beggars of Life."
Circus Parade
Sketches based on personal experience with the life and people of a traveling circus.
Shadows of Men
The idea of men in jail had interested Jim Tully for years, going back to his youthful reading of Dostoyevsky's The House of the Dead and his own time in jail and on a work crew. It was to this subject that he turned with Shadows of Men. He had already written about drifters and the underworld in Beggars of Life and Circus Parade, but those episodes were, respectively, part of his larger story of life as a road kid and working for a small-time circus. Shadows of Men would be different. Its first eighteen chapters focused exclusively on the brutal aspects of his road years. These chapters are set in hobo camps, boxcars, railroad yards, jails, and cotton fields. As Tully wrote in the foreword to a later book, Blood on the Moon, Shadows of Men, "contains the tribulations, vagaries and hallucinations of men in jail." Shadows of Men, unsparing in its depiction of bleak people and places at cruel edges of the American landscape, was the book that cemented that reputation.
