"A GOOD WAY to describe John Wilcock is to say that he is a talented bohemian counter-culture journalist who once played a major role in the emergence of America's underground press. Born 1927 in Sheffield, England, he left school aged 16 to work on various newspapers in England, and on Toronto periodicals before moving to New York City. There in 1955 he became one of the five founders of the Village Voice in which he and co-founder Norman Mailer wrote weekly columns. Wilcock called his column "The Village Square", an intended pun. He and young Mailer were not quite friends, although Wilcock was at times annoyed, but always amused, by Mailer's monstrous ego." -From the preface of Manhattan Memories, by Martin Gardner His weekly column, which dates back to the early Village Voice years, and his cable TV travel show which has covered a score of countries, appear on his website at www.ojaiorange.com along with his personal magazine.

Matrimonial advertisements symbolize the hopes of every youth of marriageable age. The anxiety, fear, nonchalance and aspirations of the prospective bride and groom form an array of human interest stories in NYC Classified Memories by Annette Gonsalves, Retd. Sr. Manager of the Classifieds Ads. Dept. at India Abroad Publications, NYC. It clinches her observations from a first-hand account of the horror of 9/11, through the nostalgic, true love stories of advertisers who gladly shared their experiences with her. Coupled with the flamboyant Indian festivals and seasonal events that unfolded in NYC, each story is unique and grips the reader with the mystic aura of India blending in with the potpourri of America. “NYC Classified Memories brings alive a personal appraisal of Indian Americans in their quest to find a life partner. The easy flow of thoughts, with a humorous twist and mind-boggling trivia grips the reader from page one.” - Sr. Maisie P. Psol, Retd. Principal, Divine Child High School, Mumbai. “NYC Classified Memories puts together a truly unique and fascinating compilation of vignettes from the newspaper India Abroad. Anyone who has ever read it will fondly remember Annette's weekly column of funny, thoughtful and poignant stories wonderfully preserved for posterity in this charming book, for an even wider audience, as long as people live, laugh and love!” - J. Gallentine, Ads. Exec., Bulletin Board, India Abroad, NYC. “The insight into human nature in this book is relatable across all ethnicities. Learning about Annette’s observations on the Indian cultural rituals and traditions makes one realize that we are all so much more alike than dissimilar. This manuscript was a joy to read.” - J. Monroe, Educator, NYC.

Manhattan's Lower East Side stands for Jewish experience in America. With the possible exception of African-Americans and Harlem, no ethnic group has been so thoroughly understood and imagined through a particular chunk of space. Despite the fact that most American Jews have never set foot there--and many come from families that did not immigrate through New York much less reside on Hester or Delancey Street--the Lower East Side is firm in their collective memory. Whether they have been there or not, people reminisce about the Lower East Side as the place where life pulsated, bread tasted better, relationships were richer, tradition thrived, and passions flared. This was not always so. During the years now fondly recalled (1880-1930), the neighborhood was only occasionally called the Lower East Side. Though largely populated by Jews from Eastern Europe, it was not ethnically or even religiously homogenous. The tenements, grinding poverty, sweatshops, and packs of roaming children were considered the stuff of social work, not nostalgia and romance. To learn when and why this dark warren of pushcart-lined streets became an icon, Hasia Diner follows a wide trail of high and popular culture. She examines children's stories, novels, movies, museum exhibits, television shows, summer-camp reenactments, walking tours, consumer catalogues, and photos hung on deli walls far from Manhattan. Diner finds that it was after World War II when the Lower East Side was enshrined as the place through which Jews passed from European oppression to the promised land of America. The space became sacred at a time when Jews were simultaneously absorbing the enormity of the Holocaust and finding acceptance and opportunity in an increasingly liberal United States. Particularly after 1960, the Lower East Side gave often secularized and suburban Jews a biblical, yet distinctly American story about who they were and how they got here. Displaying the author's own fondness for the Lower East Side of story books, combined with a commitment to historical truth, Lower East Side Memories is an insightful account of one of our most famous neighborhoods and its power to shape identity.

New Yorcœur Je n'ai jamais ressenti une émotion aussi forte ailleurs. Manhattan est une dope. Depuis la première minute, quand j'ai atterri à JFK en 1981. Coup de foudre sur la skyline. New York n'est pas une ville tendre, c'est une ville de béton et de brique, de glace et d'acier, une ville dure, une ville d'efficacité et d'utilité pour survivre, une ville qui ne tient pas compte des petites misères et qui reste inflexible. Et pourtant, New York trouve un équilibre grâce à sa beauté moderne. Vivre à New York : un rêve devenu réalité pour CharlElie. Si loin de la France, Big Apple et ses habitants l'inspirent, le surprennent, et parfois lui jouent de mauvais tours... La ville s'amuse de lui tout autant qu'il s'amuse d'elle. CharlElie la peint et la dépeint, la met en musique, y prend ses marques. Jusqu'à ce que l'émerveillement et la frénésie des premières années s'estompent. Et s'il était temps de revenir ?

Defending Their Own in the Cold: The Cultural Turns of U.S. Puerto Ricans explores U.S. Puerto Rican culture in past and recent contexts. The book presents East Coast, Midwest, and Chicago cultural production while exploring Puerto Rican musical, film, artistic, and literary performance. Working within the theoretical frame of cultural, postcolonial, and diasporic studies, Marc Zimmerman relates the experience of Puerto Ricans to that of Chicanos and Cuban Americans, showing how even supposedly mainstream U.S. Puerto Ricans participate in a performative culture that embodies elements of possible cultural "Ricanstruction." Defending Their Own in the Cold examines various dimensions of U.S. Puerto Rican artistic life, including relations with other ethnic groups and resistance to colonialism and cultural assimilation. To illustrate how Puerto Ricans have survived and created new identities and relations out of their colonized and diasporic circumstances, Zimmerman looks at the cultural examples of Latino entertainment stars such as Jennifer Lopez and Benicio del Toro, visual artists Juan Sánchez, Ramón Flores, and Elizam Escobar, as well as Nuyorican dancer turned Midwest poet Carmen Pursifull. The book includes a comprehensive chapter on the development of U.S. Puerto Rican literature and a pioneering essay on Chicago Puerto Rican writing. A final essay considers Cuban cultural attitudes towards Puerto Ricans in a testimonial narrative by Miguel Barnet and reaches conclusions about the past and future of U.S. Puerto Rican culture. Zimmerman offers his own "semi-outsider" point of reference as a Jewish American Latin Americanist who grew up near New York City, matured in California, went on to work with and teach Latinos in the Midwest, and eventually married a woman from a Puerto Rican family with island and U.S. roots.

Short subject films have a long history in American cinemas. These could be anywhere from 2 to 40 minutes long and were used as a "filler" in a picture show that would include a cartoon, a newsreel, possibly a serial and a short before launching into the feature film. Shorts could tackle any topic of interest: an unusual travelogue, a comedy, musical revues, sports, nature or popular vaudeville acts. With the advent of sound-on-film in the mid-to-late 1920s, makers of earlier silent short subjects began experimenting with the short films, using them as a testing ground for the use of sound in feature movies. After the Second World War, and the rising popularity of television, short subject films became far too expensive to produce and they had mostly disappeared from the screens by the late 1950s. This encyclopedia offers comprehensive listings of American short subject films from the 1920s through the 1950s.
