Hippie Dictionary: A Cultural Encyclopedia of the 1960s and 1970s
by John Bassett McclearyWhether you lived through the sixties and seventies or just wish you had, this revised and expanded edition of the HIPPIE DICTIONARY entertains as much as it educates. Cultural and political listings such as "Age of Aquarius," "C?©sar Ch?°vez," and "Black Power Movement," plus popular phrases like "acid flashback," "get a grip," and "are you for real?" will remind you of how revolutionary those 20 years were. Although the hippie era spans two decades beginning with the approval of the birth control pill in 1960 and ending with the death of John Lennon in 1980, it wasn'¬?t all about sex, drugs, and rock '¬?n'¬? roll. These were the early years of pro-ecology and anti-capitalist beliefs-beliefs that are just as timely as ever. So kick back and trip out on the new entries as well as the old, and discover why some are dubbing the sixties and seventies "the intellectual renaissance of the 20th century."From the Trade Paperback edition.
Hippie Food: How Back-to-the-Landers, Longhairs, and Revolutionaries Changed the Way We Eat
by Jonathan Kauffman“An outstanding food and cultural history . . . details how the concept of health food [evolved and] inspired the food co-ops and whole food stores [of] today.” —Publishers Weekly, starred reviewFood writer Jonathan Kauffman journeys back more than half a century—to the 1960s and 1970s—to tell the story of how a coterie of unusual men and women embraced an alternative lifestyle that would ultimately change how modern Americans eat. Impeccably researched, Hippie Food chronicles how the longhairs, revolutionaries, and back-to-the-landers rejected the square establishment of President Richard Nixon’s America and turned to a more idealistic and wholesome communal way of life and food.From the mystical rock-and-roll cult known as the Source Family and its legendary vegetarian restaurant in Hollywood to the Diggers’ brown bread in the Summer of Love to the rise of the co-op and the origins of the organic food craze, Kauffman reveals how today’s whole-foods staples—including sprouts, tofu, yogurt, brown rice, and whole-grain bread—were introduced and eventually became part of our diets. From coast to coast, through Oregon, Texas, Tennessee, Minnesota, Michigan, Massachusetts, and Vermont, Kauffman tracks hippie food’s journey from niche oddity to cuisine that hit every corner of this country.“An astute, highly informative food expose that educates without bias.” —Kirkus Reviews“Alongside playful prose the great joy of Hippie Food is its rich cast of characters.” —Wall Street Journal“Fascinating.” —NPR’s The Salt“Briskly entertaining . . . I thought I knew this story, but Kauffman has added a lot to it, in the way of both fresh information and narrative verve.” —Michael Pollan for the New York Times
Hipster Hitler
by James Carr Archana KumarIn a competition of the most hated memes of modern times, "Hipster" has now caught up with "Hitler." Artists James Carr and Archana Kumar thought, why not combine the two? After all, Hitler was indeed a hipster of his time, a failed artist in Vienna scrounging up extra dollars or kroner painting quick architecture scenes for the tourists. In their heavily trafficked website, "hipsterhitler.com," these comic artists posit a new sort of history in which Hitler, wears Silverlake-trendy glasses, thrift store sweaters, and outspoken T-shirts, and the reader begins to quickly understand the history of Hitler in a new and strangely engaging way. The Feral House book of Hipster Hitler includes a few dozen pages of comics heretofore unseen online.
Hipster Porn: Queer Masculinities and Affective Sexualities in the Fanzine Butt (Masculinity, Sex and Popular Culture)
by Peter RehbergHipster Porn examines models of gay hipster masculinity through the lens of the gay fanzine Butt. The book reconstructs an important chapter of recent gay and queer history in order to make sense of the cultural shifts of the last 20 years in the contemporary gay world. Butt exemplifies the changing nature of gay contemporary masculinity as it marked the beginning of a new era of queer fanzines such as They Shoot Homos Don't They?, Kink, Kaiserin, and Meat reflecting a specific cosmopolitan gay lifestyle in the West of the 2000s. The new forms of masculinity and sexuality demanded new ways of thinking about gender and desire. Hipster Porn takes the aesthetics of Butt to find a way of critiquing and rearticulating key concepts from gender, queer and affect theory, and delivers new accounts of subjectivity and sociality as they apply to queer media culture. This book is suitable for researchers in gender studies, queer and masculinity studies, cultural studies, media studies, and sociology.
Hired Daughters: Domestic Workers among Ordinary Moroccans
by Mary MontgomeryHired Daughters examines a fading tradition of domestic service in which rural girls familiar to ordinary Moroccan families were placed in their homes until marriage. In this tradition of "bringing up," the girls are considered "daughters of the house," and part of their role in the family is to help with the housework. Gradually, this tradition is transforming into one in which workers unfamiliar to their host families are paid a wage and may not stay long, but where the Islamic ethics of charity, religious reward, and gratitude still inform expectations on both sides. Mary Montgomery examines why Moroccans so often talk about their domestic workers as daughters, what this means for workers and employers, and how this is changing in contemporary Morocco. Prioritizing the experiences and perspectives of these women, Montgomery charts the tension that has developed between socially embedded, loyal domestic workers who operate within narratives of kinship and obligation and women who seek greater individualization, privacy, and self-empowerment. Hired Daughters offers a nuanced understanding of a world that bridges public and private, morality and money, family and outsiders. In doing so, it provides an intimate consideration of contemporary Moroccan households as economic enterprises and sites of navigation between the traditional and the global.

Hired Hands:
by Cecilia DanyskFarm workers were central to the development of Canada's prairie West. From 1878, when the first shipment of prairie grain went to international markets, to 1929, when the Great Depression signalled the end of the wheat boom, the role of hired hands changed dramatically. Prior to World War One, hired hands viewed themselves and were treated in the rural community as equals to their farmer employers. Many were farmers in training, informal apprentices who worked for wages so they could accumulate the capital and experience needed to secure their own free 160-acre parcels of land. In later years, as free lands were taken, hired hands increasingly faced the hkehhood of remaining waged labourers on the farms of others. They became agricultural proletarians. In this first full-length study of labour in Canadian prairie agriculture during the period of settlement and expansion, Cecilia Danysk examines the changing work and the growing rural community of the West through the eyes of the workers themselves. World War One was a catalyst in bringing into focus the conflicting nature of labour-capital relations and the divergent aims of workers and their employers. Yet, attempts at union organization were unsuccessful because most hired hands worked alone and because governments assisted farmers by stifling such attempts. The workers' greatest form of workplace control was to walk off one job and find another. Previously published by McClelland & Stewart
Hired: Six Months Undercover in Low-Wage Britain
by James BloodworthTHE SHOCKING INSIDE STORY OF THE GIG ECONOMY, AS ENDORSED BY BERNIE SANDERS A powerful and revelatory piece of journalism that exposes the exploitation at the heart of the low-wage economy. We all define ourselves by our profession. But what if our job was demeaning, poorly paid, and tedious? Cracking open the gig economy, journalist James Bloodworth spends six months undercover working the most grueling low-wage jobs. He lives on the meagre proceeds and discovers the anxieties and hopes of those he encounters, including working-class men and women, young students striving to make ends meet, and Eastern European immigrants. From a harrowing Amazon warehouse to Uber taxi-cabs, Bloodworth uncovers horrifying employment practices and shows how traditional working-class communities have been decimated by the move to soulless service jobs with no security, advancement or satisfaction. But this is more than an exposÉ of unscrupulous employers; this is a gripping examination of a divided society which needs to understand the true reality of how other people live and work, before it can heal.
Hiring the Black Worker
by Timothy J. MinchinIn the 1960s and 1970s, the textile industry's workforce underwent a dramatic transformation, as African Americans entered the South's largest industry in growing numbers. Only 3.3 percent of textile workers were black in 1960; by 1978, this number had risen to 25 percent. Using previously untapped legal records and oral history interviews, Timothy Minchin crafts a compelling account of the integration of the mills. Minchin argues that the role of a labor shortage in spurring black hiring has been overemphasized, pointing instead to the federal government's influence in pressing the textile industry to integrate. He also highlights the critical part played by African American activists. Encouraged by passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, black workers filed antidiscrimination lawsuits against nearly all of the major textile companies. Still, Minchin notes, even after the integration of the mills, African American workers encountered considerable resistance: black women faced continued hiring discrimination, while black men found themselves shunted into low-paying jobs with little hope of promotion.
Hirndoping & Co.: Die optimierte Gesellschaft
by Andreas G. FrankeLeistungssteigerung per Pille oder kurz „Hirndoping“ ist zu einem regelrechten Trend geworden, der innerhalb weniger Jahre besorgniserregende Ausmaße angenommen hat. Doch wie kommt das?Das Buch beleuchtet das brisante Thema „Hirndoping" erstmals aus zahlreichen Blickwinkeln wie Soziologie, Medizin, Sport- und Rechtswissenschaften und vielen weiteren Disziplinen.Es zeichnet den Weg von der Agrargesellschaft, in der die Geschwindigkeit des Lebens von den natürlichen Gegebenheiten abhing, bis in die heutige Zeit nach. Eine Zeit, in der es durch Globalisierung und Digitalisierung vermeintlich keine Grenzen mehr gibt. Die letzte Grenze, die es zu überwinden gilt, scheint unser Geist. „Hirndoping“ bietet sich hier als Antwort aus den Regalen der Arzneimittelindustrie an. Eine Antwort, die aber nur begrenzt funktioniert und die gesundheitlich, juristisch und ethisch nicht frei von Risiken und Nebenwirkungen ist. Alternativlos ist „Hirndoping“ jedenfalls nicht.
Hiroshima After Iraq: Three Studies in Art and War
by Rosalyn DeutscheMany on the left lament an apathy or amnesia toward recent acts of war. Particularly during the George W. Bush administration's invasion of Iraq, opposition to war seemed to lack the heat and potency of the 1960s and 1970s, giving the impression that passionate dissent was all but dead. Through an analysis of three politically engaged works of art, Rosalyn Deutsche argues against this melancholic attitude, confirming the power of contemporary art to criticize subjectivity as well as war. Deutsche selects three videos centered on the deployment of the atomic bomb: Krzysztof Wodiczko's Hiroshima Projection (1999), made after the first Gulf War; Silvia Kolbowski's After Hiroshima mon amour (2005-2008); and Leslie Thornton's Let Me Count the Ways (2004-2008), which followed the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Each of these works confronts the ethical task of addressing historical disaster, and each explores the intersection of past and present wars. These artworks profoundly contribute to the discourse of war resistance, illuminating the complex dynamics of viewing and interpretation. Deutsche employs feminist and psychoanalytic approaches in her study, questioning both the role of totalizing images in the production of warlike subjects and the fantasies that perpetuate, especially among the left, traditional notions of political dissent. She ultimately reveals the passive collusion between leftist critique and dominant discourse in which personal dimensions of war are denied.

Hispanic Market Power: America’s Business Growth Engine
by Isaac MizrahiThe US Hispanic segment represents the most prominent demographic growth in the country, and a huge and untapped business opportunity for companies willing to move away from preconceived notions and market effectively to Hispanic customers. This book shows you how. Now more than ever, corporations operating in the US should see the Hispanic population at the core of their existing and future strategies, but many leaders believe Hispanic marketing is the same marketing you run for Anglos but translated into Spanish, or that all Hispanics are undocumented immigrants with no purchasing power, or that using Mariachis in their communications is the way to connect with this diverse segment. It’s time for a modern approach, and in this book, Isaac Mizrahi, one of the country’s leading voices in multicultural marketing, uses his unique experience as a corporate executive, agency CEO, and industry leader to help businesses grow by leveraging the booming Hispanic consumer segment to drive sales. Filled with straightforward talk, illustrative case studies, and pragmatic suggestions and recommendations, this book counterbalances academic books on the topic with little connection to day-to-day reality and other books with a more political standpoint. This is a business book created by a marketer for other marketers and business leaders looking to succeed in the US.

Hispanic Marketing: The Power of the New Latino Consumer
by Felipe Korzenny Sindy Chapa Betty Ann Korzenny Liz VidalThis book is about strategic thinking in Hispanic marketing. The size and economic importance of the Hispanic market in the US are attracting enormous attention. The buying power of the US Hispanic market is now larger than the GDP of the entire country of Mexico, and it is the second largest Hispanic market in the world. Businesses and institutions have launched major initiatives to reach this important segment. Yet, the number of qualified individuals who understand the market is small; and many of those already catering to the market still struggle to learn about its intricacies.

Recent case studies help marketers relate to the material pragmatically. The book integrates concepts and practical examples and provides critical guidance to discern between alternative courses of action.

It takes a profound look at the values, beliefs, and emotions of US Hispanics, which impact consumer behaviour. Each of the chapters has been the subject of public presentations and lectures to marketing professionals. It is their positive reactions as well as the authorsOCO dedication to Hispanic consumers which motivated this book.

Hispanic Methodists, Presbyterians, and Baptists in Texas
by Paul BartonThe question of how one can be both Hispanic and Protestant has perplexed Mexican Americans in Texas ever since Anglo-American Protestants began converting their Mexican Catholic neighbors early in the nineteenth century. <P><P>Mexican-American Protestants have faced the double challenge of being a religious minority within the larger Mexican-American community and a cultural minority within their Protestant denominations. As they have negotiated and sought to reconcile these two worlds over nearly two centuries, los Protestantes have melded Anglo-American Protestantism with Mexican-American culture to create a truly indigenous, authentic, and empowering faith tradition in the Mexican-American community.

Hispanic Spaces, Latino Places: Community and Cultural Diversity in Contemporary America
by Daniel D. ArreolaHispanics/Latinos are the largest ethnic minority in the United States--but they are far from being a homogenous group.<P><P> Mexican Americans in the Southwest have roots that extend back four centuries, while Dominicans and Salvadorans are very recent immigrants. Cuban Americans in South Florida have very different occupational achievements, employment levels, and income from immigrant Guatemalans who work in the poultry industry in Virginia. In fact, the only characteristic shared by all Hispanics/Latinos in the United States is birth or ancestry in a Spanish-speaking country.
