Book Description
Over the last quarter-century hip-hop has grown from an esoteric form of African-American expression to become the dominant form of American popular culture. Today, Snoop Dogg shills for Chrysler and white kids wear Fubu, the black-owned label whose name stands for “For Us, By Us.” This is not the first time that black music has been appreciated, adopted, and adapted by white audiences—think jazz, blues, and rock—but Jason Tanz, a white boy who grew up in the suburban Northwest, says that hip-hop’s journey through white America provides a unique window to examine the racial dissonance that has become a fact of our national life. In such culture-sharing Tanz sees white Americans struggling with their identity, and wrestling (often unsuccessfully) with the legacy of race.
To support his anecdotally driven history of hip-hop’s cross-over to white America, Tanz conducts dozens of interviews with fans, artists, producers, and promoters, including some of hip-hop’s most legendary figures—such as Public Enemy’s Chuck D; white rapper MC Serch; and former Yo! MTV Raps host Fab 5 Freddy. He travels across the country, visiting “nerdcore” rappers in Seattle, who rhyme about Star Wars conventions; a group of would-be gangstas in a suburb so insulated it’s called “the bubble”; a break-dancing class at the upper-crusty New Canaan Tap Academy; and many more. Drawing on the author’s personal experience as a white fan as well as his in-depth knowledge of hip-hop’s history, Other People’s Property provides a hard-edged, thought-provoking, and humorous snapshot of the particularly American intersection of race, commerce, culture, and identity.

OPP: A journey through rap, race and the making of a cultural moment.......2007-07-16
Hip-hop music, what some of us still think of as "rap," isn't easy to sort out these days. It seems to have invaded all aspects of life, even in the seemely far-removed and lilly-white suburbs.
So what counts today as "authentic" hip-hop? Is it necessarily black? If it's commercialized to identify with a product, say Sprite, does that make the rapper a "sellout?"
And if you're white, suburban and, say, over 35, what is hip-hop culture all about?
These, it turns out, are exceedingly complicated questions.
They cut deeply to the root of what was once a raw expression of black realism to a place where, even within hip-hop, debates rage. But Jason Tanz, a rap-loving white kids from suburban Tacoma, Wash., has some surprising and fascinating answers for you in this thoughtful book with a perfect title -- Other People's Property.
Tanz takes us on an illuminating journey from rap's emergence among graffiti artists and break dancers on the streets of the Bronx, through his own experience as a sometimes guilt-ridden rap music lover cocooned in safe, white suburia, to today's wildy diverse and commercially bankable hip-hop scene.
Tanz personal story will, in turns, make you cringe, laugh and cheer. But his look at rap's varied charecters is what will keep you turning the pages.
There's Grandmaster Flash's Rahiem, an icon of rap's roots on New York City's rough streets, now a "Legends of Hip-Hop" tour guide busing white fans through the Bronx for $75 a pop. There's Papa Rich, an authentic NYC street performer who teaches break dancing to the wealthy suburban children of Connecticut's soccer moms. There's Tha Pumpsta, an earnest white rap lover who misses entirely the irony when he DJ's "kill whitie" parties in the Virginia suburbs. And there's MC Frontalot, a comical hip hop anti-hero who excites nerdy white fans with his brand of "Geeksta" rap.
Tanz travels to Green Bay to explore a rap radio experiment in one of America's whitest cities and to a garage studio in suburban L.A. where a group of goofy white losers play act the part of black gangsters.
More than anything, this is a smart book. The anecdotes carry the story, but Tanz peppers in sharp analysis and displays a deep understanding of the delicate balances -- and sometimes blatant contradictions -- of race, culture, commerce and sincerity (or a lack of it) in hip-hop.
And if you ever wondered how we got here, to an America where hip-hop music and style dominate the mainstream, Tanz's book takes you through it all with both unblinking criticism and fond affection.
In a brilliant chapter on the marketing of hip-hop, Tanz concludes rap has has the potential, perhaps untapped, to be a cultural bridge between white and black America:
"Inner city black kids, seeking a modicum of respect and financial security, create a point of entry into the commerical world that has ignored them for so long. We white kids, drawn to the implicit escape that their music and lifestyles represented, bought it. Hip-hop is where we meet, we on our way out of the system, they on their way in. Is hip-hop a door that swings open between our two cultures, letting us mix freely with each other, or is it a revolving door, endlessly spinning, allowing us to pass in opposite directions without ever actually touching?"
A hard-hitting analysis.......2007-04-07
OTHER PEOPLE'S PROPERTY; A SHADOW HISTORY OF HIP HOP IN WHITE AMERICA could also have appeared in our 'Social Issues' section but is reviewed here for its focus on the obstacles that stand between producers and consumers of rap music: a very different approach than your usual music book covering the history of rap and the evolution of rapsters. It blends a personal story of growing up in a racially divided America with cultural analysis and music insights: while this approach might defy easy categorization, it does make for a hard-hitting analysis which will reach not only college-level collections strong in social issues and music, but the general-interest public and libraries with holdings strong in ethnic issues debates.
Very impressed!.......2007-02-07
I picked up this book because I like hip hop, but didn't really understand the incredibly interesting larger cultural and social context in which it arose and operates. Having read my fair share of books on jazz, I was concerned because I know authors can take great art forms and turn them into boring academic treastises. Thankfully, Jason Tanz has richly and engagingly captured an inner city art form and its often uncomfortable, yet strangely symbiotic, relationship with white middle America. Norman Mailer, Thoreau and Eminem all make an appearance as Tanz entertainingly traces the origins of hip-hop and the way it has influenced, but also been subverted by, the white audience and market.

An Extraordinary View of Remote Mountain Kingdoms.......2007-02-18
This extraordinary book presents 113 sepia-toned photographs, with commentary, of the people, architecture and landscape of Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, and Sikkim, taken by a career British officer in the late 19th and very early 20th century. Anyone with an interest in this region should be enthralled by his remarkable photographs of these remote mountain worlds. The photos represent an important historical record, and give us a fascinating view of these mysterious hidden kingdoms. The book is beautifully designed, and the authors provide important historical background on the photographer (John Claude White), his life and times, and the history of the region.

the records on this book are very very variable and important matwerial even if you have not any interest in this country.because many people never heard the name of "sikkim",that's the important point.we thought we know all countries around this small globe,but it's not correct.because we never know about sikkim at all,even the name of this coutry.I hope you agree with me about this point,at least.today you can touch and know every countries at book stores except sikkim.hope you may have the same feeling and thoughts about this small black hall in this world.how can i say...we have to know more about sikkim any way . thank you.
Book Description
Born in New York City in 1928, Stanley Kubrick began taking photographs when in high school. At sixteen, he sent a photograph he took of a newsstand after President Roosevelt's death to Look Magazine. The publication of the photograph marked the beginning of Kubrick's work for the magazine, which lasted until 1950, when Kubrick made his first 16mm documentary film. During those five years Kubrick completed dozens of photographic reportage assignments in New York City as well as abroad. The resulting thousands of negatives have remained in the archives of Look Magazine ever since. Kubrick's photographs vary in subject, but people are the central focus of attention, as is his commitment to narration. Whether capturing the meditative state of passengers in a series of portraits made in the New York subway, following famous boxer Rocky Graziano on the ring and in intimate moments, portraying the coming of age of socialite Betsy Von F++rstenberg, or narrating the tale of a shoe-shine boy in the streets of New York City, Kubrick draws psychological portraits that combine drama, irony, and often mystery, anticipating his trademark cinematic style.If Kubrick's photographs are fascinating accounts of life in the late 1940s, they are also a major contribution to American photography of that era. At nineteen, Kubrick already had an immense talent in constructing complex compositions in which camera positioning and lighting played a crucial role. The book is introduced by an essay by Rainer Crone, who also edited the selection of photographs for this book. Crone is an expert on Kubrick's photographic work, and has already published a catalogue on this subject (see Related Titles below). An art historian, he gives context and examines Kubrick's photographs in relation to not only his later films but also the history of twentieth-century art and photography. Crone also wrote short introductions to most stories in the book.An invaluable contribution to the history of photography, this book explores how one of the most influential and successful film directors of our time used photography to master visual techniques and cultivate his signature style.

Phenomenal compilation of regrettably forgotten works..........2006-04-05
These are masterpieces of insightful timing & guerrila portraiture. Avedon said photography was mostly lies - photographs only captured an instant in time & usually the wrong instant. Kubrick almost always managed to get the right instant. That's great photography!
Sheds some light on Kubrick but does not stand alone as photography.......2006-04-01
The editors of this book were wise in prominently placing the photo that you see here on the cover. It is the most distinct and mysterious image in a book of otherwise indistinct work. Most of the photos are commercial and are interesting in so far as they reveal little hints of Kubrick's budding genius for mis-en-scene. But as photos the work doesn't stand alone very well, nor was it intended to.
Great photographs.......2006-03-01
The photographs in this book are worth the price of it. If you're a Kubrick fan, you can't do without it. The photographs teach more about film than a dozen histories.

Customer Reviews:
A transition period.......2007-09-27
This is a crime story set in Tampa, Florida, in 1955. It is a transition period. The older crime bosses are aging and noting that the ways of doing business are changing. Events are coming to a boil in Cuba. The story is based on real incidents and involves news reporters, police, criminals, and Cubans. There are some scenes set in Havans. Fidel Castro makes an appearance late in the story.
A retired crime boss has been murdered in his home. The police seek a motive and a killer. He had information that could be damaging to many people. There are questions about what happened to the information and about who he was talking to. It can be dangerous if an old man gets drunk and rambles on about what he knows.
The story moves back and forth between news reporters, police, criminal elements, and the Cubans (particularly a young woman refugee). Some of the police are on the take, and some of the criminal elements are not playing by the rules. News reporters investigate at their peril, and Cubans form their own society.
Some people get what they deserve. others walk away clean, and there are questions about betrayal of establishments and betrayal of ideals. The retired crime boss leaves behind some messages.
The novel was a nominee for the 2007 Barry Award for best mystery novel.
Any Ace Atkins book a cause for celebration.......2006-08-31
Atkins never disappoints; whether it's Nick Travers tracking down a killer or his latest, "White Shadow", a fictionalized history of the strange and savage death of Florida kingpin, Charlie Wall. Watkins command of texture and prose is exceptional and delightful. If you love the printed word arranged in beautiful weaved phrases you will love this book. Atkins loves the area and has an artist's passion for this work.
Ace Atkins is a blossoming superstar. And, he's young so his best is yet to come.
"White Shadow". Buy it, read it, let the prose wash over your mind. -- W. L. Ripley
TOO MUCH OF EVERYTHING.......2006-08-18
Starts promisingly but meanders into subplots galore and peripheral characters that only distract the reader from the "point". Speaking of which, I think the point is to include every scrap of local color and historical data that Atkins compiled for the book. It's as if no detail is too extraneous to be omitted, and every notorious character of the period must be included. A little judicious editing would have been much appreciated.
Complex Cast of Characters Became Too Confusing - Too Much Work to Read.......2006-07-19
Some may think it unfair that I gave this book 2 stars, but let me explain why. I did think this was a story of merit, a fictionalized account of a real gangster who ruled in Tampa in the early 1900's. Being a Florida resident, I have visited Tampa many times and reading about the places I know and their history was quite fascinating. But this book has the same problem that The French Connection had for me. It's so too dang hard to follow. There are so many people to remember. Even very minor characters are given names, names that you needn't remember and simply muddle the mind. No adequate references are included to help you identify these numerous people as you get farther and farther into the story and they reappear. Neither my husband nor I could get past 100 pages of this story. We did try, but when a book becomes this much work, it's no longer fun. For those who love a complicated story and have a much better memory than ours, you'll love this book. But any book I can't finish, doesn't get over a 2 from me.
A fantastic work of fiction.......2006-07-06
WHITE SHADOW is a very different work for Ace Atkins, who has garnered critical and popular acclaim with his Nick Travers novels, a very readable series featuring a protagonist who is by turns a music professor and a somewhat reluctant private eye. What we have here is a more serious, much darker worldview.
It is a fictionalized account of the infamous and unsolved Charlie Wall murder, which occurred in Tampa, Florida in 1955. Wall, a one-time criminal kingpin specializing in the areas of bootlegging and illegal gambling, was found bludgeoned to death in his home, putting the city in an uproar and causing the ethically challenged police department to shift into overdrive to determine who was behind the deed. There was a surfeit of suspects, given that Wall had made a number of enemies, particularly among the Cuban and Sicilian gangsters who maintained a de facto control of the streets of Tampa while warily vying with and eying each other.
The narrative of the crime and its subsequent investigation are presented from different points of view. The primary of these are L.B. Turner, a reporter for The Tampa Daily Times, and Ed Dodge, a tough city detective who clings to ethics and truth in a sea full of sharks. There are others, however, including a beautiful young woman with a quiet, smoldering passion for revenge, and criminals who have various reasons for rejoicing in Wall's death, even as they work at cross-purposes. For even as Wall's murder is investigated, it has repercussions that quietly but surely affected events on an international scale --- even to this day --- among people and within places that did not even know of Charlie Wall's flamboyant existence and brutal end.
The foregoing elements, taken together, would be enough to make WHITE SHADOW a compelling read. Atkins, however, does much more here. The research that was involved in its writing is remarkable, as is its result, which is the literary recreation of a time and place removed from the present by a half-century. Atkins recreates the imagery and rhythm of Tampa in 1955 so unerringly that, at times while I was reading this work, the world outside of its pages looked foreign by comparison. Atkins's characterizations are all memorable and jolting; switching points of view continuously throughout the book, Atkins unerringly bestows each character with their own voice, so much so that one narrative smoothly follows another without the confusion that a lesser writer might otherwise impart on a reader.
That said, the primary element of WHITE SHADOW that ultimately lifts it to the summit of fictional works is its imagery. Atkins evokes the spirit of such varied figures as E. L. Doctorow (without, thankfully, sacrificing imagery for clarity), Cormac McCarthy, Elmore Leonard and James Ellroy. Violence is sudden and sure; there are double-crosses from beginning to end; and there is romance, or what passes for it.
A note on the latter: there are many types of love affairs that take place here, and it is with this element that Atkins infuses his greatest irony in its most subtle sense. For it is between the least likely of couples that the most --- and only --- successful relationship in WHITE SHADOW occurs. You'll know it when you read it.

A book to savor.......2005-01-01
Diane Wind Wardell brings us a glowing picture of Janet Mentgen, who developed and teaches Healing Touch (HT), and established the Healing Touch International organization. Many nurses and other caregivers are using HT, which includes a variety of interventions in addition to hand and distant healing.
At the same time, this book is a marvelously detailed journal of the development of Wardell as a healer and HT teacher.
This is the sort of book one likes to dip into, ponder its lessons, and return to savor again and to chew on. The lack of index and references will hinder such deeper study.
Substance and process.......2004-04-19
This is an experiential tale of being the "sorcerer's apprentice" written in a stream of consciousness style which envelops the reader in a sense of the experience of the healing touch training.
A Fine Piece of Art on Healing.......2001-03-08
Combining her poetic and clinical writing style, Diane Wardell has captured the essence of multi-dimensional healing found within the Healing Touch certification program. Wardell is both courageous and strong as she teaches and inspires while telling the story of Healing Touch and its founder, Janet Mentgen. Wardell's sensitivity and at times personal journey vulnerabilities guide the reader through the essence of healing in its purest and truest form of a compassionate mother teaching her child about life and its challenges. I applaud the author for the courage to open herself up to the world and especially her world, the medical community. White Shadow is the first book I would recommend for anyone who is called to hands-on healing arts. It contains a wealth of knowledge and wisdom for Healing Touch practitioners as well, in training and certified. On a final note, I find White Shadow provides a spiritual framework of unity to those of us within the Healing Touch community but also touches all of us as healers around the world in a way which far exceeds our peer relationships and professional training.
Healing Touch.......2001-02-21
Diane Wardell has written a very moving account of her mentor and her own life changing experiences. In White Shadow Ms. Wardell has given us a wonderful insight into the art of healing touch and the lives of those who are dedicated to its practice. While the book is directed towards health professionals and those who strive to acquire the ancient skill it is also enlightening to anyone who wishes to learn more about healing touch. White Shadow is a very personal account of the people involved in bringing this art into modern times and western medicine. I was very taken up by this story, educated, and touched. Wardell has given us an opportunity to see how an individual can awaken the healing abilities that lie within us all. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in personal and world wide healing.

Absolutely perfect!!.......2002-07-24
I read her second book first and loved it and little did I know when I picked up this one that I would love it even more!!!! It defintely is one I wished would never end!!! I have tried new (to me at least) authors and have never struck gold before!!! She is now writing contemporary novels, but I hope in time she will return to the time travel, she's just amazing!!
A Stunner!.......2001-04-17
A time travel romance that is beyond any I have read before! Amazingly, this is Karen White's first novel. I didn't know that until I finished the book and went to her website to write to her and tell her how much I enjoyed "In the Shadow of the Moon".
The book centers on Laura Truitt and a strange lunar eclipse combined with a comet. Laura travels back to the Civil War era in search of her daughter. Here she meets Stuart Elliott and his family. This book kept me enthralled as Laura attempts to blend with the era she finds herself in and at the same time find her way back to the twentieth century. I had to laugh as Laura stuns and surprises Civil War era men with the independent spunk of a twentieth century woman. This book is a keeper and I will read it again, which I rarely do. Readers who enjoy romance, time-travel and edgy excitement will positively love this book!
Wanted: Likeable Heroine.......2000-11-27
While the writing is smooth and competent, the plotting and characterizations leave something to be desired. Laura Truitt, apparently intended to be spunky and forthright, comes across as thoughtless, rude and sometimes cruel, often acting like a child with no social graces. The hero, Stuart, is longsuffering and bland to the point of boredom. Laura's search for her daughter was the most compelling part of the book, yet that did not deliver the emotional punch that it should have. Many of the plot elements seemed contrived. That said, Ms. White has great promise and will hopefully attempt something in the future that is more original and borrows less heavily from those who have gone before (namely, Diana Gabaldon and Margaret Mitchell).
Brilliant first novel!.......2000-09-21
Karen White is a rising star whose first novel was a "grabber" from beginning to end. Current reading tastes don't favor the first person but Ms.White has used this technique so superbly, I can't imagine this tale told in any other format. Nor was there ever a moment during the reading that I was wishing the book were written in other than the first person. Though we weren't in the thoughts of any one but the heroine, Ms. White was still able to develop the hero so well, I "knew" him just as well as I might have had we been privy to his thoughts.
All her characters are very well drawn and the paranormal/time travel element handled to perfection. This is a well-researched book that reflects the authors strong grasp of history--but she weaves it through the tale so skillfully, the action is never halted. From the first moment Linda Truitt stepped over the threshold of that house, I felt like I became her and traveled with her as she searched for her lost daughter and stepped into the turmoil of our country's civil war. I was as torn as Linda was when she couldn't reveal all to the hero for fear of changing history and wondered whether had I been put to such a test would I have had the same strength.
I couldn't turn the pages fast enough but by the book's end-- satisfying ending that it was-- I would've loved 400 more pages so I could continue experiencing the trials and joys Linda faced living out her life in a time long before her actual birth. Instead I closed the book with a sigh and am eager for the next book by this talented new writer.
True Entertainment!.......2000-09-15
The main character is Laura Truit --- an educated and spunky woman of the 21st century. Unexpectedly she finds herself flung back into the 1860's. I cried with her, and learned a new perspective of the Civil War. I also laughed with her, got frustrated and angry, and fell in love with the people in her new life. In other words -- I became her and couldn't put the book down. In my opinion, this is true entertainment. Buy it, you'll love it!

Selectively painting over much of a forgotten nineteenth-century book, Ruefle's ninth publication brings new meaning to an old story. What remains visible is delicate poetry: artfully rendered, haunted by its former self, yet completely new. A high-quality replica of the original aged, delicate book in which Ruefle "erased" the text, this book will appeal to fans of poetry as well as visual art.
Mary Ruefle's poems and prose have appeared in Best American Poetry and The Next American Essay. Her many awards include a Guggenheim and an NEA. She is currently teaching at the Iowa Writers' Workshop.

A wonderful tribute to A HUMUMENT by Tom Phillips?.......2006-11-25
I see no mention of the great artist, Tom Phillips, whose great work, "A Humument", surely must have been an influence for Mary Ruefle's wonderful "A Little White Shadow".
For such a small volume, and even without Mr. Phillips imaginative artwork, this publication packs in a great amount of emotion and wonder. I hope to send copies to a few dear ones :-)

Mary Ruefle, A Little White Shadow (Wave Books, 2006)
I have no idea what possessed Mary Ruefle to take the text of an obscure nineteenth-century book (the author of which I've been trying to uncover ever since reading this, with no success) and turn it into poetry by whiting out most of it, but whatever it was, I like it.
I originally took it as one long piece, but others have suggested it's actually a collection, and it does make more sense that way. What Ruefle does here is to white out most of the words on the page, leaving just enough to give an intelligible image here, an interesting twist of action there. It's all quite exciting from a creative standpoint, as there are obviously any number of texts out there which can be used to the same ends, but Ruefle's eye for what to leave in makes for some extremely interesting reading, as well. I'm quite fond of this. ****

This "erasure" is true beauty. Ruefle's unceasingly profound and genius spirit comes through in this tiny treasure. It is truly something to behold ... something to hold ...

solid Indian historical romance.......2003-11-07
For fourteen years he survived until he could avenge the massacre of his family and the abduction of his sister Jenny. He believes the time is at hand as his enemy the Sioux medicine chief Hoka Luta is to marry tomorrow. Half-breed Cheyenne White Shadow plans to kidnap the bride Winona and use her to trade for his sibling. The opportunity is perfect as Winona and her sister Spotted Deer walk away from the Hunkpapa camp towards the river. He and his three companions abduct the bride and her sibling on her wedding day.
When Winona tries to escape, White Shadow splits the two hostages into two groups. He takes the bride with him while his companions escort Spotted Deer. To his chagrin White Shadow wants Winona's respect not her scorn. He tries to persuade her that her betrothed is a cruel killer, but she rejects his thoughts as Hoka Luta has too great a reputation to be this vicious murderer. However, in spite of their terrible beginnings, the abductee and his hostage fall in love, but Hoka Luta is coming to kill him and reject soiled goods.
Though the theme has been used as often as stars seen in the nineteenth century sky including by this author, Susan Edwards provides a delightful redemption tale. The lead couple, supported by a strong cast, drives the story line as Winona tries to ease the pain inside White Shadow's soul, but he refuses to let go of the hate until love overwhelms his darkest feelings. Indian historical romance readers will enjoy Susan Edwards' fine tale that appears to have a sequel or two in the offerings.
