In this exploration of the 20th-century civil rights and black power eras, Martin uses cultural politics as a lens through which to understand the African-American freedom struggle. In freedom songs, in the exuberance of an Aretha Franklin concert, in Faith Ringgold's exploration of race and sexuality, the personal and social became the political.

Harry Farr was born in north London in December 1890. His life ended while tied to a post, without a blindfold, shot to death by his fellow soldiers at the height of the First World War.In between, he served two years as a regular soldier before the war, fell in love, got married and became a father to baby Gertie, before spending two years on the Western Front with the West Yorkshire Regiment.Yet his service to his country was to end in disgrace when he was officially branded a coward and condemned to death despite showing signs of shell shock in what was to become the most infamous miscarriage of justice of the Great War.For years his tragic demise was kept quiet by his relatives, the shame of the circumstances echoing down the generations until his granddaughter Janet Booth discovered his fate in the 1980s.The shocking family secret, shared by Harry's wife Gertrude and confirmed by her mother Gertie, proved to be a catalyst for an extraordinary and ultimately successful campaign to pardon 306 British Empire soldiers who were executed for military offences in the First World War.The Shot At Dawn campaign - led in parliament by Labour MP Andrew MacKinlay but supported by hundreds of relatives, volunteers and enthusiasts - took almost 15 years to come to fruition.And it was Harry's case, taken by Gertie and Janet to the High Court, that proved to be the key to forcing a reluctant government and a hostile establishment into officially pardoning those who were executed for cowardice, desertion and throwing down of arms.The recognition that the Armed Forces had acted erratically and at times illegally in how cases were pursued and sentences handed down was a defining moment in the lives of Gertie and Janet.As direct descendants of the unfortunate private they felt as if a cloud had been removed - and the hurt of the untimely death of a good and kindly man could finally be allowed to recede.Here for the first time is the story of Harry's life, military service, trial and execution brought to life alongside the history of his descendants' fight for justice, featuring interviews with many key men and women in what was to be a drama played out in the national media.He Was No Coward: The Harry Farr Story reveals the reality of when ordinary people become part of something extraordinary - and how British history was changed forever.About the authorsJanet Booth is a retired secretary and the granddaughter of Private Harry Farr. She lives in Farnham, Surrey with her husband Jim to whom she has been married to for 53 years. They have two daughters and four grandchildren.James White is a news and sports journalist, currently working as Deputy Sports Editor for MailOnline. He met Janet while working as a senior reporter for the Harrow Observer, a local newspaper in north west London that campaigned with her.

The definitive biography of one of the twentieth century’s most celebrated and controversial dramatists. To several generations, actor, playwright, songwriter, and filmmaker Noël Coward (1899-1973) was the very personification of wit, glamour, and elegance. Given unprecedented access to the private papers and correspondence of Coward family members, compatriots, and numerous lovers, Samuel Johnson Prize-winning biographer Philip Hoare has produced an illuminating and sophisticated biography of Coward, whose relentless drive for success and approval fueled the stunning bursts of creativity that launched the once-painfully middle class boy from the suburbs of London into a pantheon of theatrical deities that includes Gilbert and Sullivan, Oscar Wilde, and George Bernard Shaw. As much the embodiment of a lifestyle as an actual inhabitant of it, Coward’s carefully cultivated image defined the aspirations of untold numbers of actors, artists, and writers who succeeded him, and Hoare’s meticulously researched biography peels away the layers of this complex persona to reveal the man underneath it all, whom The Times of London decreed upon his death to be the most versatile of all the great figures of the English theater.

Why do I write? I write because it brings me great joy and God gives me the ability to pen words to paper In the midst of my pain I write In sorrow I write In the midst of my totally devastating journey through illness I write Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I write For all the days I wanted to sing and was not allowed to I write When I look in to the pain in my daughters eyes I then write Through long suffering I write In the midst of my lifes storms I write In the good times I write and happy times I write From a child when I needed to get away Id write I write because it makes me happy Why do I write? My heart sings out the words from my mind In this my lifes writings there will be expressions of love, thoughts, hope, dreams and emotions So as you look into the corner you will find Pieces of my heart pen to paper From the corners of my mind I write.

In Radical Play Rob Goldberg recovers a little-known history of American children’s culture in the 1960s and 1970s by showing how dolls, guns, action figures, and other toys galvanized and symbolized new visions of social, racial, and gender justice. From a nationwide movement to oppose the sale of war toys during the Vietnam War to the founding of the company Shindana Toys by Black Power movement activists and the efforts of feminist groups to promote and produce nonsexist and racially diverse toys, Goldberg returns readers to a defining moment in the history of childhood when politics, parenting, and purchasing converged. Goldberg traces not only how movement activists brought their progressive politics to the playroom by enlisting toys in the era’s culture wars but also how the children’s culture industry navigated the explosive politics and turmoil of the time in creative and socially conscious ways. Outlining how toys shaped and were shaped by radical visions, Goldberg locates the moment Americans first came to understand the world of toys—from Barbie to G.I. Joe—as much more than child’s play.
