This is basically a small book of short story length......and it has some clever aspects.....It is in essence the speech given at a retirement celebration for a local doctor hanging up his black bag after 40 years; the speech being off the cuff remarks by his best friend. O'Hara has a wonderful way of capturing the tone of small to mid-size towns in the Pennsylvania of his mind and he does so again quite brilliantly by basically just letting this man ramble on. I pulled it out of my bag on a flight from Portland, Maine to Washington, D.C. and plowed right through it in no time. Lots of warmth and genuineness in neat small package.

Distinctions
Movements for social change are by their nature oppositional, as are those who join change movements. How people negotiate identity within social movements is one of the central concerns in the field. This volume offers new scholarship that explores issues of diversity and uniformity among social movement participants. Featuring case studies that range widely from Jewish resistance fighters in Nazi-occupied Poland to antigay Christian movements in the United States to online white supremacy groups the essays show how participants set aside issues of personal identity in order to merge together and how these processes affect mobilization and the attainment of goals. Contributors: Mary Bernstein, Kimberly B. Dugan, Elizabeth Kaminski, Susan Munkres, Kevin Neuhouser, Benita Roth, Silke Roth, Todd Schroer, Verta Taylor, Jane Ward." No library descriptions found. |
