America's Forgotten Majority: Why the White Working Class Still Matters

2 reviews
Ruy Teixeira, Joel Rogers

Basic Books, 2001

Timely
The mere mention of a white working class causes many pundits to cringe. Liberals, because the notion of a "white" anything smacks of political incorrectness; conservatives, because mention of any kind of working class puts the fear of Marx in their soul. For decades this key demographic group has been either ignored in polite conversation or caricatured in popular culture. Either way their ...

Seattle

Graphic Arts Center Publishing Company, 2007

Intimate view of Seattle
Most city photo books are for tourists, awards or perhaps libraries. They usually don't give you a sense of the people and emotions of the city just some photos of landmarks. Joel Roger's book is different because he knows Seattle so well and he is a great photojournalist. His book left me happy I live here and reminded me of many sweet and breathtaking moments. It is the perfect book to hand to ...

From Superman to Man

Joel Augustus Rogers

Helga M. Rogers, 1985

Pleasant surprise
While cleaning out a closet full of books at the community center where I serve as its Educational Director, this book falls off of the shelf. It has been the most enlightening book I have ever read! The previous reviewers have spoken ever so eloquently, I will simply say, given the psuedo-intellectual, "we have overcome" times we live in, J.A. Rogers' work should be manditory reading for all. ...

Alyson Books, 2002

TOTAL FUN
This short book is entertaining while being informative. A "how-to" guide, it will teach the neophite how to do the deed, and will offer the expert some nuances that might not already be in one's repertoire. This should be standard issue when one applies for one's Gay Card. Buy this and LEARN...there are so many out there who simply haven't mastered the art. Don't you be one of them.

Joel Townsley Rogers

Carroll & Graf, 1997

Rod Serling Meets Hitchcock
A corpse with a missing hand, sightings of a twisted gnome driving a sleek convertible, the lone hitchhiker on a deserted highway comes straight from a nightmare's central casting. "The Red Right Hand", written in 1945, fresh and jolting in the 21st century, must have absolutely rocked the literary world of its day with this strangely creepy tale of young love gone impossibly wrong. Dr. Harry ...

Eureka Productions, 2006

Captain Blood and the Plague of Ghosts
I knew next to nothing about Rafael Sabatini before I picked up this latest volume of Graphic Classics. I always did love a good swashbuckler though, and I figured the creator of Captain Blood and Scaramouche was worth a look. Graphic Classics hasn't let me down yet, and this certainly won't be the last time they introduce me to a fantastic writer. Remembered primarily for the slate of ...

Beyond Backyard Environmentalism (New Democracy Forum)

Do Americans Shop Too Much? (New Democracy Forum)

25 reviews
Juliet Schor, Joshua Cohen, ...

Beacon Press, 2000

Yes They Do
After finishing Schor's Do Americans Shop Too Much, I came to have a great appreciation for the democracy forum that the book is structured in. Although Schor's writing dominates the book, I found the contributing authors to be just as important. Not only did they give different perspectives to the debate, but I thought that some, especially Robert Frank, had better ideas on how to curb the ...
