Extractions: Despite these quibbles, Radical Revisions is a welcome addition to the increasing number of studies of 1930s literary radicalism. It opens up a wide range of discussions that have not occurred, or are only beginning to occur, and that are long overdue. For African Americanists, these discussions are crucial for understanding the formation of the poetics of so many of those writers recognized as canonical within the field and for extending and revising the powerful arguments made by Harold Cruse regarding the centrality of the 1930s (and 1940s) to the development of African American literary and intellectual traditions in this century.

The opening session, "La Guardia and the Holocaust," featured new research by Wyman Institute director Dr. Rafael Medoff revealing the little-known role played by New York City Mayor Fiorello La Guardia in lobbying the Roosevelt administration to rescue Jewish refugees from the Holocaust. The session was chaired by one of La Guardia's successors, former Mayor Ed Koch, who said President Roosevelt's unresponsiveness to appeals for the refugees was "unforgivable." Koch said, "I am sure FDR is in purgatory as punishment for turning his back on Holocaust victims." Also on the panel were LaGuardia biographer Prof. Thomas Kessner and Dr. Rochelle Saidel, who is editing the memoirs of La Guardia's sister Gemma.

Extractions: William Boelhower (ed.) This volume of essays on ethnic modernism in American literature marks another international sortie of European and American scholars into the currently mined field of discussion on literary historiography and the canon. The original forum was a workshop titled Ethnic Writing and the Changing Literary Canon which the editor monitored for the 1988 Berlin Conference of the European Association of American Studies. The general theme was `Looking Inward - Looking Outward: The United States from the 1930s through the 1940s'. 90-6256-917-x, Hfl. 69,50/$ 49.50/# 23.00 Steve Ickringill (ed.) In this volume scholars from a range of discipline backgrounds, joined by their interest in the US, discuss some of the elements that make the 1930s and 1940s such an intriguing period to study. These years saw the US undergo its most sustained economic crisis and subsequently become involved in a war of unprecedented size and complexity. The country then emerged as the dominant world power, with all the strains this put on domestic American politics. In this context American creative artists looked inward at what it meant to be an American while responding to a range of impulses from other cultures. Although this is a very varied collection, there are certain concentrations of attention, notably on black writers and on the immigrant experience. The contributions in this volume were originally presented to the 1988 Berlin Conference of the European Association for American Studies

Concerned parents around the world need to understand today's global management system which merges labor and "lifelong learning" with socialist ideology, psycho-social manipulation and high tech monitoring. Only then, can we take our stand, equip our children and prepare for the future. For background information, please read: Bush, Gorbachev, Shultz and Soviet Education Molding Human Resources for a Global Workforce Solidarity Versus Christianity Nadezhda Krupskaya: "Following the Eight All-Russian Congress of Soviets [1920], a Party conference was planned on public education.... instructions should be linked with practical work, with the problems of building socialism which country faced... that the range of knowledge which should be taught in the schools at each level should be determined in a new way."

Extractions: 264 pp 5.5x8.25 "In an era dominated by television and increasingly focused on the Internet as the new kid on the media block, Miller offers a valuable history lesson by reminding us of the power once yielded by radio. The best inoculation against the hyperbolic claims of new media is to understand the commonalities as well as the unique features of the various media that have shaped public consciousness in the past century. In this still unfolding narrative, radio has often been overlooked or taken for granted. Miller helps us avoid these mistakes and should encourage us all to take another, closer listen to the voices in the ether."

Extractions: Each generation of scholars, it seems, must come to terms with the cultural legacy of the 1930s. A period that somehow seemed codified even before it was concluded, the decade has regularly been revisited by intellectuals who grapple with it in toto , pushing it to the Left or to the Right, or who, at key moments, rescue one select cultural figure from the political fray (William Faulkner in the 1940s, Tillie Olsen and Zora Neale Hurston in the 1970s, and Nathanael West, apparently, in the 1990s). And as with any historical endeavor, each generation returns to the scene (the scene of political possibility in this case) with its own set of ideological and aesthetic questions, its own intellectual [End Page 159] curiosities and needs, and its own definitions of a "usable past." This truism belies, however, a gulf that divides this newest group of scholars from their predecessors.

Extractions: Dr. Virginia R. Domnguez The study of U.S. culture takes place among scholars in many parts of the globe, but most scholars of U.S. culture living and working in the United States are unfamiliar with this work by their foreign colleagues. The Forum works to internationalize the practice of "American Studies" in the U.S. by placing foreign and domestic scholars in dialogue. Simultaneously, it fosters scholarly relations across multiple national boundaries and regions outside the United States by bringing scholars from all parts of the globe together for shared research residencies and conferences. It is our belief that these multiple angles of vision, forged in the academic traditions and national contexts of each participant's scholarly community, will yield a more complex understanding of the many facets of U.S. culture than is otherwise possible. RESEARCH RESIDENCIES The appointment of Fellows for Research Residencies lies at the heart of the Forum's activities. Through a combination of open global competitions and direct invitations, the Forum hosts exceptional scholars from outside the U.S. for residencies lasting from two weeks to three months. While in residence, Fellows pursue their own research with access to excellent library facilities. They also lead colloquia, participate in faculty seminars and sometimes offer a course in their specialty area. With applicants from more than 60 countries, the range of scholarship represented is truly diverse in terms of topic and methodology. Fellows from Nigeria, Italy, Australia, Japan, China, Russia, Israel, India, Great Britain, South Africa, Argentina, Spain, Sri Lanka, and Hungary are among those who have participated so far. Their research has focused on topics as diverse as Jewish writers of the 1930s, Gay life in New York City, the urban geography of Chicago, American female missionaries in Japan, the "English-Only" movement in the U.S., and many other issues in U.S. history, literature, political science, social anthropology, media studies, and visual culture.

The course will begin with a brief overview of the histories of the major Latinos national origin groups in the United States. The bulk of the course will examine a number of topics and issues that are key to understanding contemporary Latinos; e.g., immigration, language, education, employment, etc. The third and briefest part of the course will build upon the previous sections by asking how the history and current status of Latinos might influence their near term future, under various assumptions. The goals of this course include the following: 1) helping its student develop an informed basis for talking and thinking about Latinos; 2) developing an awareness on how Latinos fit or don't fit into American society; and, 3) applying this knowledge to assess current issues and future possibilities.

Extractions: The 2005 annual meeting of the historians in the German Association for American Studies was hosted by the Center for U.S. Studies at the Leucorea Foundation, Wittenberg. Major financial and logistical support was provided by the U.S. Embassy in Berlin and the Leucorea Foundation in Wittenberg. The conference was dedicated to taking stock of major historiographical trends and developments that have shaped scholarship on U.S. history over the past few decades. In his case study "Trouble in Sarkhan: 'The Ugly American' Revisited," Andreas Etges (Free University of Berlin) focused on ideas and ideology in the history of American foreign relations. Taking a closer look at William Lederer's and Eugene Burdick's 1958 novel "The Ugly American," Etges described its immense public success and the way it shaped debates on foreign aid as well as on the recruitment and training of the diplomatic corps. While highly critical of Americans overseas, the book's message is based on the belief in the superiority of the American way of life. By promoting simplistic modernization theories, the "Ugly American" guided foreign policymakers in the 1960s. Eckhardt Fuchs's (University of Mannheim) paper "From 'Western Civ' to 'Cultural Wars': Teaching and Writing World History at U.S. American Universities in the Twentieth Century" presented an overview of the development of World History at American secondary schools and universities in the twentieth century, especially since the late 1960s. Tracing the debates and struggles over reforming the curricula of both high schools and colleges, Fuchs challenged the prevailing notion that teaching World History in higher education represents an unbroken success story.

The '70's witness the evolution of '60's optimism and rebellion into new forms. This is the decade of feminism, Watergate, Kent State, and the Vietnam War; of punk, glam, folk-rock, and "I Will Survive" ; of Altamont survivors, veterans, and hippies turning corporate, political, or simply tired. While '60's social critique evolved (among some) into individualistic materialism, the decade also demonstrated quiet strides in the rights of women, gays, and African-Americans, particularly through and in the arts. We will read fiction and non-fiction from popular and controversial writers who record the end of the '60's and the changes of the '70's. Writers covered include Kurt Vonnegut, Rita Mae Brown, Tim O'Brien, Alex Haley, Gloria Steinem, Richard Brautigan, Lester Bangs, and Toni Morrison. Popular music from artists as diverse as the Talking Heads, David Bowie, and Donna Summer will be discussed. Clips from films will be shown, including The Deer Hunter Gimme Shelter All the President's Men Annie Hall Saturday Night Fever Five Easy Pieces

Extractions: U.S. Geological Survey, P.O. Box 25046, MS 413, Denver Federal Center, Lakewood, Colorado 80225 Return to Table of Contents An overview of artificial recharge studies requires a precise definition of the topic to be covered. Todd (1959) defines artificial recharge, for his bibliography, as the practice of increasing by artificial means the amount of water that enters a ground-water reservoir. For this review, a narrower definition is invoked that includes direct recharge of potable water through spreading basins, pits, and injection or drainage wells, but excludes induced infiltration from wells, galleries, and collectors placed near streams. Deep well waste disposal and irrigation with sewage effluent as a recharge mechanism are not included. Literature reviews, except those used here, and papers that only mention artificial recharge as a solution to water-supply problems are also omitted. Sources of information for this review include Todds (1959) bibliography of artificial recharge through 1954, Signor et al.s (1970) bibliography for 1955-67, and the web-based Water Resources Abstracts for the period after 1967. Studies that have not resulted in citation by those sources, such as those summarized in administrative reports, are thus not included.
