The Chicago Race Riot of 1919, the most intense of the riots comprising the nation's Red Summer, has shaped the last century but is not widely discussed. In 1919, award-winning poet Eve L. Ewing explores the story of this event - which lasted eight days and resulted in 38 deaths and almost 500 injuries - through poems recounting the stories of everyday people trying to survive and thrive in the city. Ewing uses speculative and Afrofuturist lenses to recast history and illuminates the thin line between the past and the present.

The Amritsar Massacre of 1919 was a seminal moment in the history of the British Empire, yet it remains poorly understood. In this dramatic account, Kim A. Wagner details the perspectives of ordinary people and argues that General Dyer's order to open fire at Jallianwalla Bagh was an act of fear. Situating the massacre within the "deep" context of British colonial mentality and the local dynamics of Indian nationalism, Wagner provides a genuinely nuanced approach to the bloody history of the British Empire.

It has been a century since the massacre at Jallianwala Bagh, but Punjab is still to recover from the shock of it. The British Empire never did either-the impact of those bullets fired for ten minutes at an unarmed, peaceful crowd inside a community park with one narrow exit rang through its...

An extraordinary lost chapter in the history of World War I: the story of America’s year-long invasion of Russia, in which a contingency of brave soldiers fought the Red Army and brutal conditions during the fall and winter of 1918–1919. In August 1918, the 339th regiment of the U.S...

Считается, что закон не имеет обратной силы. Да, но только – не закон человеческих отношений. Можно ли заключить в строгие временные рамки родственные чувства, любовь, дружбу, честь, служебный долг? Как определить точку отсчета для этих понятий? Они – вне времени, если речь идет о людях, до конца преданных своему делу.

This book is a compilation of twenty-two addresses given by Sir William Osler in various settings. He spoke on the philosophical and moral foundations of medical science, giving instruction to the student the teacher, the physician and the nurse. In his own eloquent words, "we are here not to get all we can out of life for ourselves, but to try to make the lives of others happier... The practice of medicine is an art, not a trade; a calling, not a business; a calling in which your heart will be exercised equally with your head. Often the best part of your work will have nothing to do with ...

ثم يستحيل كل هذا جحيمًا وتصرخ النساء ، وسرعان ما يظهر الجنود .. الجنود شقر الشعور زرق العيون الذين يلبسون السراويل القصيرة .. الزى الرسمى للإنجليز فى مستعمراتهم الحارة ، ويصرخ أحد الضباط آمرًا الجند بفتح النار ، وتنهمر الطلقات .. إنه لمشهد لا يصدق .. و( عبير ) لم تعتد قط أن ترى الرصاص يُطلق على مظاهرة بهـذا الشكل الفج .. أيـن الغازات والعصى المكهربة والطلقات المطاطيـة ؟ الضحايا يتسـاقطون بالعشرات وتتبعثر الصفوف : كأنما هى مياه جدول ألقى فيها طفل شقى بحجارته ..

1919 was a world-shaking year. America was recovering from World War I, and black soldiers returned to racism so violent that that summer would become known as the Red Summer. The suffrage movement had a long-fought win when women gained the right to vote. Labourers took to the streets to protest working conditions, nationalistic fervour led to a communism scare, and temperance gained such traction that Prohibition went into effect. Each of these movements reached a tipping point that year. Now, 100 years later, these same social issues are more relevant than ever.

PUBLISHERS NOTE On August 27, 1914, while in London, I jotted down a thought in my memorandum book Met Arthur Ransome at_____s; we discussed a potential book exploring the Russians relationship to the war through the lens of their psychological and folkloric backgrounds. Although that book never materialized, the ideas sparked during that conversation resonate throughout Ransomes insights on Russian matters. A versatile figure, Ransome is not only a respected biographer of Poe and Wilde but also a translator and commentator on Remy de Gourmont, and a devoted folklorist committed to uncovering ...

1919, the Year of Racial Violence recounts African Americans' brave stand against a cascade of mob attacks in the United States after World War I. The emerging New Negro identity, which prized unflinching resistance to second-class citizenship, further inspired veterans and their fellow Black citizens. In city after city, Black men and women took up arms to repel mobs that used lynching, assaults, and other forms of violence to protect white supremacy; yet, authorities blamed Blacks for the violence, leading to mass arrests and misleading news coverage.

Ein Glücksfall für die Historiker: Harry Graf Kessler (1868 - 1937) beschreibt bis in die Kleinigkeiten das rastlose Berlin, die schwächelnden Politiker, die aufgeregten Künstler und vor allen Dingen das Unwesen der Straßenkämpfe mit ihren Panzerwagen und Maschinengewehren. Und er schaut genau hin.

Siamo nel 1919. La prima guerra mondiale è finita da poco. "Il dottor Benjamin fugge dalla casa di suo padre, il luogotenente Wittgenstein commette un suicidio finanziario, il libero docente Heidegger perde la fede e monsieur Cassirer lavora sul tram alla propria illuminazione." Comincia un decennio di eccezionale creatività, che cambierà per sempre il corso delle idee in Europa e senza il quale alcuni pensieri non sarebbero mai stati pensati.

Carl von Ossietzky (1889 - 1938) Journalist, Schriftsteller, Pazifist, Friedensnobelpreisträger von 1935, starb an den Folgen seiner in KZ-Haft erlittenen Misshandlungen. Ob gegen links, rechts oder die Mitte, er kämpfte unabhängig und unerbittlich mit seinen Artikeln für den Erhalt der Demokratie.

Was beschäftigte diesen Titan der Weltliteratur in seinem Leben außerhalb der Literatur? Gab es so etwas überhaupt für ihn? Und falls ja - wie sah dieses Leben aus? Was waren seine persönlichen Ansichten hinsichtlich seiner Umgebung, seiner Familie, seines Freundeskreises, der Gesellschaft und der Welt der Literatur und in welchem Verhältnis stand Franz Kafka zu seinen Mitmenschen und seinem Berufsumfeld?
