Описание: The use of Western heritage models in the Arabian Peninsula inspires two key areas for research which this book examines: the obscuring of indigenous concepts and practices of heritage and expressions of cultural identity; and the tensions between local/community concepts of heritage and identity and the new national identities being constructed through museums and heritage sites at a state level.
Описание: Ruminations is a synopsis of developmental belief that began in my 20s and has grown exponentially to date. I am a confessed liberal/progressive and firm believer in my required oath on admission to the State Bar of Georgia, i.e. to uphold, honor and defend the Constitutions of the United States and of the State of Georgia "so help me God." That embraces the proscriptions of our forefathers in creating the Republic known as the United States of America. Thus, any attempt by anyone, politician or otherwise, to rebut the proscriptions and/or encourage others to do so is a crime punishable in the criminal courts of this nation. I am not aware of its implementation in my lifetime and I condemn the failure. It inspires my writing and validates my professional oath.

Описание: Robert Prager, a lonely German immigrant searching for the American dream, was probably the most shameful U.S. casualty of World War I. From coast to coast, Americans had been whipped into a patriotic frenzy by a steady diet of government propaganda and hate-mongering. In Collinsville, Illinois, an enraged, drunken mob hung Prager from a tree just after midnight on April 5, 1918. Coal miners in the St. Louis suburb would show the nation they were doing their patriotic part-that they, too, were fighting the fight. And who would stop them anyway? Not the alderman or businessmen who watched silently. Not the four policemen who let Prager from their custody, without drawing a weapon. And who would hold the mob leaders accountable? Certainly not the jury that took just ten minutes to acquit them, all while a band played “The Star-Spangled Banner” in the courthouse lobby. Peter Stehman sheds light on the era’s hijacking of civil liberties and a forgotten crime some might say has fallen prey to “patriotic amnesia.” Unfortunately, the lessons from Patriotic Murder on intolerance and hate still resonate today as anti-immigration rhetoric and ?ber-nationalism have resurfaced in American political discussion a century later.
