Описание: This volume gathers an array of voices to tell the stories of Cleveland's twentieth century Jewish community. Strong and stable after an often turbulent century, the Jews of Cleveland had both deep ties in the region and an evolving and dynamic commitment to Jewish life. The authors present the views and actions of community leaders and everyday Jews who embodied that commitment in their religious participation, educational efforts, philanthropic endeavors, and in their simple desire to live next to each other in the city's eastern suburbs. The twentieth century saw the move of Cleveland's Jews out of the center of the city, a move that only served to increase the density of Jewish life. The essays collected here draw heavily on local archival materials and present the area's Jewish past within the context of American and American Jewish studies.

Описание: Examines the folding fan`s multiple roles in fin-de-siecle and early twentieth-century French literature. Focusing on the fan`s identity as a symbol of feminine sexuality, as a collectible art object, and, especially, as an alternative book form well suited to the reception of poetic texts, the study highlights the fan`s suitability as a substrate for verse.

Описание: Philosopher Horace Meyer Kallen is credited with the concept of cultural pluralism. Though living and teaching in Wisconsin when he developed the theory, his sojourn in the Midwest rarely figures in accounts of the theory`s origins. And yet, Michael Steiner suggests, the Midwest was the essential catalyst for the theory of cultural pluralism.
