Paperback. Zustand: Fair. The story of Stax Records unfolds like a Greek tragedy. A white brother and sister build a monument to racial harmony in blighted south Memphis during the civil rights movement. Their success soon pits the siblings against each other, and the brother abandons his sister for a visionary African-American partner. Under integrated leadership, Stax explodes as a national player until, Icarus-like, the heights they achieve result in their tragic demise. They fall, losing everything, and the sanctuary they created is torn to the ground. A generation later, Stax is rebuilt brick by brick and is once again transforming disenfranchised youth into stellar young musicians. Set in the world of 1960s and ?70s soul music, Respect Yourself is a character-driven story of racial integration, and then of black power and economic independence. It?s about music and musicians--Isaac Hayes, Otis Redding, the Staple Singers, and Booker T. and the M.G.?s, Stax?s interracial house band. It?s about a small independent company?s struggle to survive in an increasingly conglomerate-oriented world. And always at the center of the story is Memphis, Tennessee, an explosive city struggling through volatile years. Told by one of our leading music chroniclers, Respect Yourself is the book to own about one of our most treasured cultural institutions and the city that created it.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Images of the Bushmanfrom the innocent hero of the hit movie, The Gods Must Be Crazy, to vermin eradicated by the colonists, to the superhuman trackers conscripted by the South African Defense Forces, and the living embodiment of prehistory for the academicshape our perceptions rather than the actuality. Looking at this interplay between imagery, history, and policy, Robert Gordon focuses not on the Bushman but on the colonizers image of them and the consequences of that image for the people assumed to be Bushmen. }Images of the Bushmanfrom the innocent hero of the hit movie, The Gods Must Be Crazy, to vermin eradicated by the colonists, to the superhuman trackers conscripted by the South African Defense Forces, and the living embodiment of prehistory for the academicshape our perceptions rather than the actuality. Looking at this interplay between imagery, history, and policy, Robert Gordon focuses not on the Bushman but on the colonizers image of them and the consequences of that image for the people assumed to be Bushmen. To understand the image of the Bushmen, we must place them into the context from which they were abstracted.

Lavishly illustrated with archival and recent photographs, the book attempts to convey the extent to which we as Westerners have participated in the creation of the Bushman identity. This book with its poignant example of the Bushmen brings us face to face with the complexities and deceptions of our constructions of the Other. }.…
