Book Description
In the 1920s, thousands of white migrants settled in the Los Angeles suburb of South Gate. Six miles from downtown and adjacent to Watts, South Gate and its neighboring communities served as L.A.'s Detroit, an industrial belt for mass production of cars, tires, steel, and other durable goods. Blue-collar workers built the suburb literally from the ground up, using sweat equity rather than cash to construct their own homes.
As Becky M. Nicolaides shows in My Blue Heaven, this ethic of self-reliance and homeownership formed the core of South Gate's identity. With post-World War II economic prosperity, the community's emphasis shifted from building homes to protecting them as residents tried to maintain their standard of living against outside threats—including the growing civil rights movement—through grassroots conservative politics based on an ideal of white homeowner rights. As the citizens of South Gate struggled to defend their segregated American Dream of suburban community, they fanned the flames of racial inequality that erupted in the 1965 Watts riots.

Am I Blue?.......2004-07-12
Though I've read many books on obscure topics, Becky Nicolaides' 'My Blue Heaven' surely tops them all for being a conversation-stopper. Telling someone you're reading a history of a blue-collar suburb of Los Angeles through the middle decades of the 20th century nearly guarantees eye-glazing, if not outright abandonment. Yet, if a reader has even a passing interest in any of the ambitious ground Ms. Nicolaides covers--urban trends, suburban sociology, the political emergence in the 1960s of the famous "silent majority," among many others--I wholeheartedly recommend this work. Only some thready allegations in the final chapter mar an otherwise superb survey.
I'll also admit to a personal interest. Both my parent's families--at least two generations worth--hail from these neighborhoods. Beyond some sketchy childhood memories from the 60s, I don't have any solid impressions of how my immediate ancestors grew up and therefore found myself riveted by--in essence--a detailed family history.
So beyond supplying a nearly endless string of familial "ah-ha!" moments for me, Ms. Nicolaides also blankets her study with incredible (and often myth-puncturing) detail; among them:
* Impressive majorities of pre-WW2 homeowners actually *built* their own homes in the south LA "suburbs." Prototypical developer housing arrived much later.
* In the late 20s (*before* The Depression) the average household spent over a third of its income on food--but only a quarter on housing
* As soon as LA residents could drive, they did: 50% of residents owned a car by *1925* (concurrently compared to 16% nationwide, and 9% in Chicago), and as many commuted to downtown as took (excellent and cheap) public transit. This early automotive embrace neatly skewers the "Roger Rabbit myth," i.e., that evil oil companies "forced" Angelenos into smog-belching cars and conspiratorially drove the beloved streetcars out of business
* Teenagers commonly hitchhiked (!) to popular hangouts like movie theaters and the beach
This list could go on and on. The author is nothing if not comprehensive--and, as shown, she backs up her claims with reams of statistics. A more nuanced and revealing portrait of emerging suburban America would be hard to find.
But the book reaches far beyond strings of lifestyle anecdotes, however fascinating and well-supported. The formation and consolidation of local political attitudes provide both the strongest and most contentious parts of her thesis. The author rarely misses a chance to show how these blue-collar suburbanites swung from being 1920s "Republicans" (boot-strapping home-builders and farmers) to 1930s/40s "Democrats" (New Deal-embracing proponents of post-war government expansion)--and finally back to 1960s "Republicans" (anti-Civil right protectionists), the so-called "silent majority." Her best work shows the underpinnings of these political transformations, fleshing out how they were both formed at the local level and reflected nationally.
My strongest objection to her political theses comes in her final chapter--on race. Leaving aside any sensitivities about my south LA relatives being natural bigots (I can personally attest that many were), I'll only note that the author fails to connect some obvious dots about neighborhood segregation. For example, after a withering critique of blatant bigotry shown by the New Deal-spawned Home Owners Loan Corporation--their notorious loan appraisal maps included such lovely language as "blighted," "menace," and "subversive racial elements" while denying loans to blacks and hispanics--she conveniently neglects mentioning this government segregation complicity in any later contexts. This omission struck me as especially curious since she saves her strongest venom later for white homeowners who opposed many civil rights measures on economic grounds. Whether whites were segregationist bigots or trying to protect their property values (or both), to neglect the money-loaning agent who initially subsidized these conditions struck me as selective at best.
A further racial swipe perhaps comes closer to the author's philosophical biases. After noting that Southern migrants to the area brought "a new style of working-class populism, melding racism, economic populism, and anti-elitism," (a point I'll surely concede) she notes in the same paragraph that "self-help, Americanism, homeowner rights, and a distaste for activist government persisted as core values (among residents); in the new context of economic prosperity and racial encroachment, they *blended easily with the southern political style*." (Italics mine.) We're to conclude that racism and populism "blended easily" with self-help and "Americanism" (whatever that is)? To be fair, Nicolaides sets the context ("The values forged in the distinctive context of working-class suburbia during the interwar years fused smoothly with these imported ideals"), but unlike the rest of the book she provides no evidence for these profound statements.
Ultimately, I found 'My Blue Heaven' a five star effort with a severe markdown for these objections. Aside from an occasional anti-capitalist sneer ("the vagaries of the free market subjected working people to lives of economic instability ...")--almost *de rigeur* from an academic, I suppose--I found her scholarship sound, her organization tight, and her supporting data nearly overwhelming. (Indeed, she is her own worst enemy as topics lacking evidence clearly stand out.) I discovered more here about my parents and relatives than I could have probably ever unearthed on my own and for that Ms. Nicolaides has my utmost gratitude and respect.
A Must-Read.......2003-12-15
I was absolutely riveted by Ms. Nicolaides' study of LA suburban culture and how the struggles therein eventually culminated into the Watts riots. This is a must-read for anyone searching for answers about how these neighborhoods developed and how the families within them struggled from poverty to middle-class. It is written beautifully and I thoroughly enjoyed every page.
My Blue Heaven - a fascinating history of L.A. Suburbia.......2002-12-08
I loved this book! I never thought of suburbs as being all that
interesting or important, thinking that cities were important, and suburbs were minor satellites around them. This book, however, tells the real story of the working class suburbs of L.A. and how they developed. Often, one hears that the purpose of studying history is to understand why things are the way they are today. As a history buff, this book motivated me to travel to LA and ride around the streets of South Gate and some of the other suburbs, visualizing the events of days gone by. Ms. Nicolaides shows how these suburbs changed from street after street of self-built houses inhabited by struggling workers, chicken coops, and makeshift stores into the dynamic communities of today. Once I started it, I was totally engaged through the last chapter.
Book Description
Refiner's Fire book 3. Kitty, a house slave, always figured it was easiest to do what she'd always done--obey Missy and follow orders. But when word arrives that the Yankees are coming, Kitty is faced with a decision: will she continue to follow the bidding of her owners, or will she embrace this chance for freedom? Never allowed to have ideas of her own, Kitty is overwhelmed by the magnitude of her decision. Yet it is her hope to find the "happy ever after" ending to her life--and to follow Grady, whom she loves--that is the driving force behind her choice. Where will it lead her?
Customer Reviews:
Beginning reasonable...Ending unsatisfying.......2007-07-02
This book starts out as a reasonable "grab in". It depicts the story of a young girl, "Kitty" (later young lady), who has trouble grasping freedom as her own. She later meets a young man, Grady, who's driven by hatred and past sorrows. She begins to have feelings for the man (who's really a young boy) but is almost driven away from him because of his anger and frustration, mainly at white people. This book appears to have the value of forgiveness, but in the end it gives the imnpression that money resolves Grady's anger problems. Also, their relationship, "Kitty" and Grady, seems based on dashing looks and not of true love. The part of faith in this story is not "preachy" at all which is good, but almost has a "backseat" in the whole of the story. Faith has to be a main part otherwise you can't imagine all the main character's happy endings. I believe this to be a good read as far as storyline, but the moral of the story doesn't seem to play out well enough for you to understand.
A great Book.......2007-04-09
This was the first book I've read by Lynn Austin and I just finished reading another one by her called Hidden Places. Both books are excellent. In a Light to my Path, she really shows how only God can take a horrible situation and use it for good.
The characters were very well developed, especially as you continued to discover more and more about them. Grady's character was wonderful in that I felt his rage, his anger, his unbelief and Kitty (Anna)'s character made me cry.
Although the end could have been a little bit more...something, the book was an enjoyable read. I would recommend her books to anyone who is looking for a fresh and unique voice in the Christian book world.
recommended.......2006-12-05
very interesting book. i really enjoyed it. only problem was thatt the language of the people (slave owners, slaves...) did not match the characters, along with the region and time period they were living in. otherwise, very very well-written.
Another great novel.......2006-11-22
It took me a while to get into this book in the beginning because I hate reading how a slave is being torn away from his family and being sbused by his owner. It got better as I kept reading when the story start to show some hope for the slaves. It's amazing to see how ignorant America was back then and how we still are today!
Civil War Historical Fiction- A Slaves Perspective.......2006-06-28
This book is one of those that can be easily read in one sitting. It's the 3rd in a series, depicting slaves' perspectives living through slavery and the civil war. I was gripped at the abuse and portrayal of what it was like to be owned by someone. The realization that one could be ripped away from loved ones or because of the whim of an owner be whipped and/or sent down to "slave row". Mercy was rarely received, and was truly a gift when given.
The sovereignty of God is weaved throughout the pages, as the reader can see how seemingly cruel events were used later to save and protect. God's unconditional love and faithfulness were also portrayed.
I liked how the author used kind-hearted, loving, God-fearing white people in this series to show that not everyone from the white race, or down south were hateful towards the slaves.
The author did a great job of ending this 3 book series. One of the main characters, Grady, was introduced in the first book. The ending was sweet. It could have extended further for additional reunions from others from the first book, but it still is an excellent read.

Book Description
What started as a simple advertising campaign for the Turner South network has expanded into a phenomenon. The beautiful language brings the South to life in the experiences, memories and emotions of her people.
My south is home
It's the tall pines under which I played in my youth
It's the soft red clay that was a key ingredient in my mud pies
It was those hot summers
When my cousins and I would gather in the shade sucking on icees we had made with red cherry Kool-Aid and a Styrofoam cup
My South has big families where everyone remembers everyone else's birthday. In my South, we put peanuts in bottles of cola and hot sauce on almost everything. My South was cane-pole fishing and creek swimming. In my South, grandmothers pass around pictures of grandbabies and argue about the best azalea fertilizer. In my South, people still say "please" and "thank you," "yes, ma'am" and "no, sir." My South is the best kept secret in the country.

My South: A People, a Place, a World All Its Own A Review.......2007-09-30
My South: A People, a Place, a World All Its Own, edited by Bryan Curtis, is a 128 page book of poetry and photographs describing the love and sense of home that the various poets within the book have for their Southland. It is a wonderfully written and edited book which gets to the heart of what it means to be a Southerner: a person who understands that God, family and home are truly important and that ancestors are more than just names on headstones or in old genealogy books. This book is a must read for every Southern born and Southern bred individual. More than that it's a must read for those who aren't from the South and just don't get it. In conclusion, a poem found on page 44 of the book sums it up nicely:
In my South, we know the difference between
surviving and truly living.
Around here to be rich means to never go hungry,
so you'll find food, and love, and opportunity a'plenty,
and there'll be people telling you to pull up
that extra chair that always seems to be handy
and to make yourself at home at the table that
overflows with wisdom and corn bread.
And we'll quench your thirst with sun tea--
made sweet and made cold and served best in
jelly glasses and Mason jars, if you please.
--Tressy McMillian
Pick this book up y'all. Read it yourself and get copies for your friends and families. They'll thank you for it.
Gift for the Person that has Everything.......2006-10-30
My purchase of My South: A People, a Place, a World All Its Own was a gift for my 77 year old godmother who has everything she could ever need or want. I saw the book in a bookstore and fell in love with it but felt I "could find it cheaper" That I did through Amazon. It is a warm reminder of what we Southerners know and love. It was not historical documentation but memories were stirred and merely inuendos hinted of a way of life and maybe a better time.
Wonderful Experience.......2005-11-01
I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of participating in Turner South's My South Spoken Word events, and was greatly surprised and honored to be selected for inclusion in the book and DVD. The photos and words are a wonderful broad canvas of what the South really is, which bears very little resemblance to some cute British Chick talking about turnips in a bad accent. This book covers all aspects of Southern life, and the performances on the DVD are wonderfully honest and heartwarming. 3 guesses what my family is getting for Christmas presents!
This is my South.......2005-10-14
St. John has combined pictures and text to form a wonderful little book that accurately describes *my* South. The only limitation is in the eyes of the viewer---only a true child of the South will fully appreciate this jewel. I have purchased three books for gifts; now, I must get one for myself.
Passion for My South!.......2005-08-29
What a wonderful experience! The written and the spoken word presented here is very powerful. As a Southerner I identify with the feelings expressed, but even those of you who are not born southern can find sentiments that you can relate to about family and freedom. And you can learn about the REAL South!
Book Description
James Shelby Downard, who died at the age of eighty-three in 1996, is one of the most compelling conspiracy theorists of the twentieth century.
Robert Anton Wilson wrote that Downard's "King-Kill" essay, regarding the involvement of Freemasons in the murder of John F. Kennedy, is "the most incredible Illuminati theory of them all." Marilyn Manson wrote a song based on "King-Kill 33°," and even two rock bands, one in Atlanta and the other in Seattle, named themselves after Downard's piece.
The Carnivals of Life and Death is James Shelby Downard's thrilling life story, detailing the skullduggery and ritualism of the KKK and Freemasonry and how they imposed themselves on the young Downard and his family in Depression-era Deep-South America in the 1930s.
Editor Elana Freeland writes in her introduction, "Downard's tale is a piece of the puzzle of a very important period when networks of fraternal orders were front and center in consolidating techniques of sociopolitical control."
Interest in the hidden aspects of Freemasonry is reaching boiling point today, and James Shelby Downard's eagerly awaited contribution to this secretive and little-known aspect of American culture will be widely read and discussed.

Coincidence?.......2007-09-21
You can learn something from the experiences of Drownard. His perspective is quite different from that of most people. He used his paranoia as a weapon to help him survive.
His stories are bright bits and pieces in a chain of circumstances that some may call a Grand Design and others a Great Conspiracy.
Oddly enough, the vibe of this book is much like that of HBO's series Carnival. Coincidence???
Lift the Masonic "Hoodwink".......2006-10-24
At last James Shelby Downard's autobiography has emerged from the underground like a Cowan from a Masonic crypt, breathing with vitality and tales of the bizarre. Feral House has edited this account which was previously only available in a rough but thorough form from Downard's protégé, Michael A. Hoffman II (it's still available and makes for an interesting comparison for savants of Downardia). In addition, the book is enlivened with an introduction by Adam Parfrey, recounting his personal experiences with Downard and giving an insightful framework to the reader who is--to put it mildly--in for a wild ride.
The story is at times tragic and by turns hilarious, shot through with the dichotomies of the man himself. Downard uses racial slurs yet fights against racist exploitation; oscillates between eloquence and slang; denigrates immorality while operating by his own confessedly "situational ethics." Above all we have a sense of a mind awake, a brilliant man who takes his dark life by the Devil's horns and gradually discerns in his daily world a web of symbolic connections which lead him to see past his own repeated manipulation, finding his own part in the Play. As he does so, he frustrates his Stage Directors time and again by deviating from the script and outfoxing them all, emerging with a sense of humor and wonder, two qualities his grim pursuers lack.
In addition, the editor has highlighted several of Downard's insights in textboxes, supplementing them with historical details which form a backdrop to the account and educate as they elucidate. Have you read a Masonic whitewash account which reassures you that the Grand Lodge has nothing to do with, say, the occult lodges of the OTO? Downard explains this to be part of the "Masonic hoodwink." Through his life story, Downard helps lift that blindfold enough for us so that after laying the book down, we can go out and see more than we did before, discerning charades, finding patterns, symbols, and even discovering a level of poetry and humor in our existence. We might even be inspired to step outside the script like Downard and fight the Cryptocracy itself.
A Mind Numbing Curiosity at Best.......2006-10-15
From the first time I read Downard's article in the cryptic anti-Masonic symbol inspired rant, "King-Kill 33" in "Apocalypse Culture" from that always challenging publisher Feral House, may Adam Parfrey's tribe increase. I have anxiously awaited the release of Downard's auto-biography (or hagiography?) "Carnivals of Life & Death". I was hoping for I admit a exposition of the nefarious cryptocracy littering the American landscape a la Downard. Perhaps in the same vein as Jim Brandon's "Rebirth of Pan".
What I found instead upon entering Mr. Downard's tacky carnival was a memoir of paranoia as lifestyle coupled with insights into an active Oedipal complex (he just can't say "NO" to his monster Mother), (wait there's still more) and the most jaw dropping violence comitted by little James as a child that would make most Sam Peckinpah movies pale by comparison. His feeding of a wounded bad guy to an anaconda in a sewer during a fast getaway scene was my personal favorite escapade. Discover how as a mere child, Mr. Downard fought off the entire goon squad of Ku Klux Klaner's and Freemasons in Ardmore, Oklahoma and became the most hated kid in Amerika.
Like a car wreck I kept staring at this book and flipping pages. Several times I wanted to sail it across the room in a fit of ennui, but fought off the lassitude by incredulity. That is until Mr. Downard invokes the historical reality of Diana Vaughn! Diana Vaughn was an imaginary 19th century victim of Masonic abuse invented by the French journalist Leo Taxil as an example of human gullibility in the face of conspiratorial thinking. The French Catholic community was really pissed off once Taxil revealed the sham.
That said, this is the best paranoic writing on the market today. For those seeking more "King-Kill 33" type of investigation you will be sadly disappointed. Mark Twain once described the "Book of Mormon" as "chloroform in print", this work will make you only slighty disoriented. Dis-oriented...the Masonic Grand Orient...maybe I am part of the Masonic mind control agenda...?
Book Description
A continuing and on-going drama, LSU football is a string of improbable victories and sometimes valiant defeats, and within Game Of My Life: LSU Tigers the players responsible for perpetual story lift the curtain on their greatest acts. Here are the accounts of almost three dozen of the most remembered Tiger games of the last eight decades, as seen through the eyes?and from the memories?of some of LSU's most remembered athletes.

In between, you hear from Billy Cannon as he decided to break a team rule and return a deep punt against Ole Miss.
Product Description
Catch an inside glimpse of the 24 greatest games in Razorbacks football history as remembered by key figures in each contest. Authored by Rick Schaeffer, who publicized Arkansas athletics for more than two decades as sports information director, this book provides mini-biographies of many of the most highly respected names in Razorbacks football. Ron Calcagni gives an inside look at the mammoth upset of Oklahoma in the 1978 Orange Bowl. Bobby Crockett recalls the heart-stopping victory over Texas in 1965. J.J. Meadors and Anthony Eubanks made last-minute touchdown catches to help the Hogs beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa twice. Matt Jones chronicles the seven-overtime win at Ole Miss. Gary Anderson recounts his career that ended with Most Valuable Player honors in a Bluebonnet Bowl win over Florida. Preston Carpenter details the 1954 Ole Miss game, a contest that put Razorbacks football on the map. Chuck Dicus, Ken Hatfield, Madre Hill, Joe Ferguson, Clint Stoerner, and many others tell their stories, many of which have never been published, that give the reader a sense of being in the huddle with Arkansas' all-time greats. If you call the Hogs first thing in the morning and last thing before going to bed at night or if somehow you are just a casual Arkansas fan, you'll love these recollections of the finest moments in Razorbacks football.
Book Description
I Foresee My Life is a study of the ritual performances of the Kayabi, a Brazilian indigenous people, during the 1990s. Kayabi rituals are distinct in that they center on the autobiographical narratives of living people. Suzanne Oakdale discusses these autobiographical performances in the context of shamanic cures, mortuary rites, and political oratory. In each ritual, leaders describe how some of the dramatic environmental, economic, and political changes taking place in the Amazon have affected them. For example, the Kayabi have moved from a heavily colonized area to a reservation and as a result have had to address different facets of Indian identity, new forms of commodity consumption, residence patterns, and leadership.
As they narrate their lives in these rituals, leaders also give other participants ways to address some of the pressing issues in their own lives. Special emphasis is given to the emotional effects of narrative performances and how these accounts move people to identify with others, compel them to act in appropriate ways, or assuage their grief over a lost loved one. Oakdale analyzes autobiographical performances using insights from studies on ritual, life history, and linguistic anthropology to better understand Kayabi notions of self and person and the role these narrative expressions play in their social life. Richly textured with eyewitness accounts and indigenous voices, I Foresee My Life demonstrates the enduring power of indigenous performances today

More than 30 former and current Atlanta Braves players celebrate the extraordinary moments that have shaped the franchise's rich heritage, which includes a major league record 14 straight divisional titles.
Book Description
To borrow the slogan offered over the Bryant-Denny Stadium public address system before to the start of every Alabama home game, "This is Alabama football." Ask a fan to talk about his favorite game and he?ll probably answer, "Which season?" Ask another to describe his favorite Crimson Tide play and he may also respond the same way. And if asking an Alabama fan to recall his favorite player, don?t be surprised if you are asked to be more specific: "Which year? Which game? Which position?" Such is the tradition and legacy of the program. The tradition connects former coaches and players to the current team, and fans from the program's early days to those of today. The telling and retelling of stories of the program's great coaches and great plays, defining moments and All-American players are as much a part of the Crimson Tide program as the team's crimson-and-white uniforms. Written by Tommy Hicks, who has worked for five newspapers in the state of Alabama over a 30-year span.
