Dan Shiffman - Rooting Multiculturalism: The Work of Louis Adamic



















Dan Shiffman is an Assistant Professor of English, Rhetoric, and Writing at Berry College in Mount Berry, Georgia, where he teaches writing, humanities, and American studies courses.


Dan Shiffman - Rooting Multiculturalism: The Work of Louis Adamic

Publisher: Fairleigh Dickinson University Press 2003-08 ISBN: 0838640028 PDF 191 pages 1.04 MB

Rooting Multiculturalism: The Work of Louis Adamic offers the American immigrant writer, editor, and social critic's insights about democracy and diversity to the ongoing "culture wars." This study begins with a chronological overview of Adamic's career from his boyhood in Slovenia, to the growth of his reputation as an advocate for ethnic diversity in the 1930s and 1940s, to the suspicious circumstances surrounding his death in 1951. Rooting Multiculturalism then considers Adamic's relationship to the development of American cultural pluralism between the Wars, his populist rhetoric of progressive social reform, and his analysis of the plight of "second-generation" immigrants. By evaluating Adamic's life and work, Rooting Multiculturalism reveals that multiculturalism has a longer and deeper history than is often acknowledged. Moreover, this study underscores Adamic's dynamic model of multicultural identity and American citizenship in which individuals draw from a variety of cultural and philosophical perspectives without being bound by any of them. http://www.ebookee.com/Dan-Shiffman-Rooting-Multiculturalism-The-Work-of-Louis-Adamic_351005.html

米グーグルの電子書籍、10年に日本で有料サービス 


検索大手の米グーグルは、パソコンなどで書籍を一冊丸ごと読めるようにする有料サービスを2010年中に日本で開始する。書籍の一部分だけを読める「ブック検索」を拡大した事業で、出版社の同意を得たうえで、開始時点で最大1万冊をそろえる計画。ただ大手出版社の多くは現時点で作品提供に慎重で、普及に時間がかかる可能性もある。

 新サービス「グーグル・エディション」では、グーグルが出版社から提供を受けた書籍をスキャナーを使って電子データ化、ネットを通じて有料で販売する。無料のブック検索では内容の一部しか読めないのに対し、全ページを閲覧できる。米英など英語圏で10年春にも開始する予定で、約半年遅れで日本に導入する。

REX STOUT and Louis ADAMIC

REX STOUT and Louis ADAMIC



























REX STOUT and ADAMIC were Friends
And frequent Political Allies.


The Black Mountain (1954) Wolfe's best friend Marko Vukcic is murdered by a Yugoslavian agent who has already made his escape from New York. Wolfe and Archie are therefore obliged to clandestinely go to Yugoslavia in order to avenge his death which means bringing the killer back to American justice.


* * *
Plagued by failing health, he is believed to have shot himself at his residence in Milford, New Jersey. He died at a time of political tension and intrigue in Yugoslavia, and there was press speculation in America that his death might have been an assassination by some Balkan faction, but no definitive proof of this theory has ever surfaced.


According to John McAleer's Edgar Award-winning Rex Stout: A Biography (1977), it was the influence of Adamic that led Rex Stout to make his fictional detective Nero Wolfe a native of Montenegro, in what was then Yugoslavia. (Wolfe's origins were murky in the early novels.) Stout and Adamic were friends and frequent political allies, and Stout expressed uncertainty to McAleer about the circumstances of Adamic's death. In any case, the demise inspired Stout's novel The Black Mountain, in which Nero Wolfe returns to his homeland to hunt down the killers of an old friend. Rex Stout, full name Rex Todhunter Stout, (December 1, 1886 - October 27, 1975) was an American writer best known as the creator of the larger-than-life fictional detective Nero Wolfe. ... Bitter End a?” Carl Mueller illustrated Rex Stouts Nero Wolfe novella for The American Magazine (November 1940) Nero Wolfe is a fictional detective, created by the American mystery writer Rex Stout, who made his debut in 1934. ... The Black Mountain is a Nero Wolfe mystery novel by Rex Stout, first published by Viking Press in 1954. ...

As a Fullbright fellow in 19993/94 I've met mr.Christian in Philadelphia but then we werent in contact for the rest of his life.Next year I will try to find a possibility to visit USA again and work on further research for a documentary film.
I will be more than happy if we stay touch.

NIKOLA TESLA by Louis Adamic

NIKOLA TESLA by Louis Adamic


Room in New Yorker Hotel where Nikola Tesla lived for last ten years of his life and died on January 7th, 1943
Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia's Eulogy to Nikola Tesla on January 10, 1943, written by Louis Adamic


Tribute to the great American
http://www.nikolatesla.hr/news.aspx?newsID=126&pageID=14

"I am honored to be asked to read a tribute to a great American - Nikola Tesla, written by another great American - Louis Adamic. Both natives, of what we know as Yugoslavia, but coming from different parts. They were friends. On last Thursday night, here in our city of New York, a man who was 87 years of age, died in his humble hotel room. His name was Nikola Tesla. He died in poverty, but he was one of the most useful and successful man who ever lived. His achievements were great and are becoming greater as time goes on. Nikola Tesla could have hundreds of millions of dollars, could have become the richest man in the country, in the world, if he wished for riches. He didn't. He did not care for anything, did not have time for anything to spell success for too many..."

“Inventors, Nobel-Prize winners, the leading
figures in the field of electrical engineering,
high officials of the Yugoslav government in New
York, and men and women who distinguished
themselves in many other areas, honored Nikola
Tesla, the father of the radio, the modern mode of
production and transport of electricity.” The
New York Times, January 13th 1943.

achievement, which is great, almost beyond
calculation, and an integral part of our
civilization, our daily lives, our current war
effort

His life is a triumph."
