Český Američan Alois Richard Nykl (1885-1958) se do historie zapsal především jako lingvista, polyglot a orientalista. Po své devítileté pouti světem se v roce 1916 vrátil do Chicaga, kde se podílel na tamním hnutí krajanů za samostatnost Čech. V Poznámkách k revoluční akci v Chicagu zaznamenal vzpomínky na svou činnost ve válečných letech 1916-1918, do níž se aktivně zapojil na podzim 1916 jako tajemník českého oddělení demokratické kampaně za znovuzvolení Woodrowa Wilsona. Své autobiografické vyprávění doplnil komentářem k činnosti českého hnutí za samostatnost v letech 1914-1916, s níž se seznámil prostřednictvím chicagského krajanského tisku. Výjimečný historický dokument představuje netradiční interpretaci událostí let 1914-1918 a jednu z prvních kritických reflexí české akce za nezávislost. Autor se v knize vyrovnává i se změnami, jimiž česká komunita v Chicagu a americká společnost prošly během válečných a poválečných let. Edici textu napsaného v letech 1926-1927 doplňuje úvodní studie, v níž jsou přiblíženy životní osudy autora, jeho válečná pouť z Jokohamy do Chicaga a cesta z krajanské společnosti do amerického univerzitního prostředí. Kniha chronologicky navazuje na první díl autorova životopisu Padesát let cest jazykozpytce a filosofa. Text bohatě ilustrují unikátní fotografické a archivní materiály z pozůstalostí A. R. Nykla a E. St. Vráze. V přílohách ... Unknown localization key: "more"

V raných osmdesátých letech 20. století dostal mladičký student chicagské univerzity Jan Novák nečekaně dopis od Josefa Škvoreckého; věhlasný spisovatel a exilový nakladatel mu v něm sděloval, že četl jeho povídku, a že pokud má takových víc, rád by mu vydal knihu. "Myslím, že bych spočítal na prstech okamžiky, kdy jsem měl v životě větší radost," vzpomíná na ten okamžik Novák a pokračuje: "Obratem jsem Škvoreckému odepsal a hned se vrhl na Striptease Chicago. První povídku své první knihy jsem už měl, a tak stačilo jen ještě něco ukrást Jamesi Joyceovi, podle jehož Dubliňanů jsem črtal ten svůj divně rozpolcený svět, a něco Balzacovi, který propojoval různé příběhy stejnými postavami, aby se mu za nimi lehounce rýsoval román." Ačkoli je Striptease Chicago Novákovým literárním debutem, autor se už zde představuje v suverénní vypravěčské formě, bez začátečnických lapsů, jež často prvotiny provázejí. V několika tematicky propojených povídkách Novák líčí život českých exulantů v Chicagu; činí tak s až hrabalovskou vervou a citem pro jazyk i groteskní detail a jeho příhody jsou stejně zábavné jako mrazivé, stejně kritické jako empatické. Podobně zásadní jako jednotliví protagonisté je přitom pro Nováka prostředí jeho příběhů. Jak sám říká: "Chicago je tvrdé město s tropickými léty ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Winner of the Immigration and Ethnic History Society’s First Book Award: an exploration of how the Windy City became a postwar Latinx metropolis in the face of white resistance. Though Chicago is often popularly defined by its Polish, Black, and Irish populations, Cook County is home to the third-largest Mexican-American population in the United States. The story of Mexican immigration and integration into the city is one of complex political struggles, deeply entwined with issues of housing and neighborhood control. In Making Mexican Chicago, Mike Amezcua explores how the Windy City became a Latinx metropolis in the second half of the twentieth century. In the decades after World War II, working-class Chicago neighborhoods like Pilsen and Little Village became sites of upheaval and renewal as Mexican Americans attempted to build new communities in the face of white resistance that cast them as perpetual aliens. Amezcua charts the diverse strategies used by Mexican Chicagoans to fight the forces of segregation, economic predation, and gentrification, focusing on how unlikely combinations of social conservatism and real estate market savvy paved new paths for Latinx assimilation. Making Mexican Chicago offers a powerful multiracial history of Chicago that sheds new light on the origins and ... Unknown localization key: "more"

In 1924, the murder trials of Beulah Annan and Belva Gaertner shocked the world, providing the real-life inspiration for Maurine Watkins’s unforgettable characters, Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly. Now, a century later, this reissue of Watkins’s play offers a fresh look at the origins of the story that has since become a household name. From the silent film Chicago produced by Cecil B. DeMille in 1927 to the 1942 film Roxie Hart starring Ginger Rogers and the Broadway sensation created by Bob Fosse, Fred Ebb, and John Kander, this play has continuously evolved. It even inspired the 2002 Oscar-winning film Chicago starring RenÉe Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Richard Gere. But until recently, as editor Thomas H. Pauly writes in the book’s introduction, the real-life roots of the story were obscured. While researching for a book on crime-as-entertainment during the 1920s, Pauly came across Maurine Watkins’s play, which was then out of print. After noticing similarities between the play and a series of articles Watkins penned for the Chicago Tribune prior to the creation of her play, Pauly knew he had stumbled upon a revelation: Watkins’s play was based on real people.

At the New Bauhaus and what later became the Institute of Design, teachers like László Moholy - Nagy, György Kepes and später Arthur Siegel, Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind taught an uninhibited approach to the medium which influenced generations of photographers. To mark the start of the great Bauhaus anniversary in 2019, the Bauhaus Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung Berlin is presenting its collecti on of “New Bauhaus Photography” which is unique in Europe.

The wide range of illustrations extends from abstract photograms and material experiments to conceptual and process - oriented works series. Contemporary works from Chicago complete the picture and reflect the importance of the Bauhaus thought process for th e present day.

Blending travelogue, memoir, and environmental reportage, Walking Chicago's Coast takes readers on an urban journey. Michael McColly begins his walk at his far–North Side Chicago apartment and proceeds for two long days along the shore of Lake Michigan to the Indiana Dunes National Park. As he walks, McColly reflects on the layers of history, the constructed magnificence, and the troubling divides in this polyglot mecca of the Midwest. From its descriptions of grand parks and architecture to packed sandy beaches to polluted neighborhoods called "sacrifice zones" along industrial waterways and rivers, Walking Chicago's Coast shows how such urban hiking lets one contemplate a city's grandeur and history, confront environmental and social realities, and trigger emotions and memories. Through Superfund sites, brownfields, scrapyards, and industrial ruins, McColly discovers the remarkable patterns of urban nature and the surprising beauty along his path.

''Fascinating, panoramic, wonderful'' Tom HollandA magical book which explores how the world was seen at twelve points in history, through twelve extraordinary maps and the minds of those who made themWhat you see depends on where - and when - you are looking from. As Jerry Brotton''s enthralling book shows, maps have shaped our view of the world throughout history, and are themselves shaped by the ideas, prejudices, systems of power and creativity of their age. Brotton examines twelve world maps from global history - from the mystical representations of ancient civilizations and the fourteenth-century Mappamundi to the satellite-derived imagery of today - to show how, by reading them, we can better understand the worlds that produced them. You will not look at a map in quite the same way again.
