Decadence and Catholicism
Published in Hardcover by Harvard Univ Pr (February, 1998)
Authors: Ellis Hanson and Aubrey Beardsley
Average review score:

Decadence or Incarnational Reality?
As the editorial reviews state, those of orthodox stripes will likely dismiss this book out of hand, especially those uneasy with homo/sexuality. After re-reading the text, to me the author appears to have unwittingly identified the uneasy tension in Catholicism between having an otherworldly outlook and being an Incarnational faith. Most interesting were the connections between liturgical norms and sexuality, with the elaborate liturgical choreography and vesture of both Catholic and Anglican "High Church" as an expression or sublimation of sexual energies. Overall the book is interesting for its stories and implications--and if the book offends, readers must sort out if offense is caused 1) by the text with unwarranted assumptions or 2) the tension existant in Christian life about whether to best express sexuality through ascetism or an artistic appreciation of the senses.

LAST CALL.... FOR FLIGHT 21

Roosters are lurking in this book ! You know what that means? Your children will if your not careful !Which came first, the chicken or the egg? I know, do you ? I JUST LOVE THE PICTURES OF THE GROWING CHICK IN THE EGG. SEE YA' AT THE HEN HOUSE.


The Ferryman Will Be There: An Ellis Portal Mystery
Published in Hardcover by Bridge Works Pub Co (May, 2001)
Author: Rosemary Aubert
Average review score:

Great insight into the homeless, but weak characters
Former Judge and former homeless person Ellis Portal descends once again into the world of the homeless to track down a girl who vanished when her father was shot. He discovers teen gangs, evil corporations, drug dealing, and the physical underbelly of Toronto.

I loved the way author Rosemary Aubert described the lifestyles of the homeless, their ability to survive and their schemes to protect themselves. Aubert is certainly a talented writer and THE FERRYMAN WILL BE THERE is a pleasant read.

The problem with this book is that although Portal and the other characters express ample emotions, the reader hears about them rather than feeling them. Aubert missed the chance to increase the reader suspense by giving Portal only a tangential direct stake in the outcome. Because Portal doesn't really care, neither does the reader. Finally, this is supposed to be a mystery. Aubert doesn't give us any misdirection to let the readers buy into the solution.

I enjoyed this book, but I could have enjoyed it so much more.

From Ellis Island to JFK: New York's Two Great Waves of Immigration
Published in Hardcover by Yale Univ Pr (October, 2000)
Author: Nancy Foner
Average review score:

Useful, if not brilliant
This book is useful, though not brilliant. It provides a comparison between the great wave of Jewish and Italian immigrants to New York at the turn of the last century, and the present wave of immigrants from Asia, Latin America and the former Soviet Union. Foner's account look at where immigrants live, how they work, immigrant women in particular, the sting of prejudice, the matter of ties to the old country and going to school. She seeks to refute the view which uses the success of the first wave and selected members of the second wave as a stick to beat everyone else. By and large she succeeds. She reminds us that one reason why many Asian-American have excellent education and social mobility records in the United States is because they were well educated members of the middle class back in Asia. She points out that it took a couple of generations before Jews experienced middle class status and high school graduation. She reminds us that despite fears of America becoming increasingly balkanized new immigrants are more "american" than previous waves because of the world of mass culture. There are nuanced discussions about the mixed blessings of wage labor and increased independence. There is an interesting chapter on how Jews and Italians were viewed in the past as non-white, and how Asians and Hispanics are becoming increasingly "white." There is much in here that counters the widespread moralistic underclass discourses that have made The New Republic the fashionable magazine of our day's Vanity Fair. There is a nuanced discussion of the effect immigrants have on black employment. Some pundits, shedding crocodile tears for African-Americans suggest they would be better off if immigrants were not taking their jobs. But in fact, as Foner points out, many immigrants are not directly displacing blacks because they work in niches where blacks either were rarely employed or actually excluded. On the other hand, working in sweatshop jobs often makes them less attractive to native workers and helps lower wage rates. Often employers use stereotypes to immigrants' benefits and blacks' detriment. On the other hand by increasing the New York population they encourage African American strength in public employment and stop the decline in business that comes from a falling population. So why does this book only get three stars? Well, many of its insights aren't particularly new, that they may be a revelation to readers does not mean they are to people who study the topic. There is little about politics of immigrants, either electorally or through such measures as unions. There could be more about class in the book, both within immigrant communities and within the problem of New York as a whole. It is not that the subject goes unmentioned but it is noteworthy that there is no entry under the index for "Gulliani." The result is nourishing, but bland; it could use a little more bite.
