Italian Folk
Sunday dinners, basement kitchens, and backyard gardens are everyday cultural entities long associated with Italian Americans, yet the general perception of them remains superficial and stereotypical at best. For many people, these scenarios trigger ingrained assumptions about individuals' beliefs, politics, aesthetics, values, and behaviors that leave little room for nuance and elaboration. This collection of essays explores local knowledge and aesthetic practices, often marked as "folklore," as sources for creativity and meaning in Italian-American lives. As the contributors demonstrate, folklore provides contemporary scholars with occasions for observing and interpreting behaviors and obj...
Stockton Memories
One of the leading historians of the state of California and a photographer-collector of historical photographs of Stockton and San Joaquin County have collaborated to create this pictorial review of days past. The combined talents of Dr. R. Coke Wood and Leonard Covello have resulted in this attractive book, with its careful balance of text and photographs. The photographers (over 400 in the book) are a part of Mr. Covello's enormous collection, accumulated over a period of thirty years. Although alone they could tell the tale well, their value is expanded by the addition of Dr. Wood's text. All the subjects that are important to the people of Stockton are covered in these pages. Headings include waterways, education, law enforcement, transportation, entertainment, churches, the fire department, communications, hospitals, government, agriculture, business and commerce, sports, and buildings. Each chapter is a mini-history of the city in itself, with photographs from as long ago as 120 years and as recently as 1977--Inside flap.

Tennessee Williams y la Norteamérica de posguerra
A través de las obras dramáticas que Tennessee Williams escribió durante los años inmediatamente posteriores al fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial se analizan los entresijos y las grietas de los que adoleció el sueño americano. El estudio de los diversos personajes que las protagonizan va más allá de una interpretación puramente literaria y se enmarca dentro del contexto histórico y social con el fin de analizarlos como sujetos que reflejan su época. Todos ellos persiguen de una forma u otra la felicidad, una quimera que acaba convirtiéndose para muchos en una trampa de la que difícilmente pueden escapar.
