A bad month for the Iron Lady and the suffragette

There is never a good time to be a statue in England. You are out in all weathers, for a start, and on the rare days the Sun does shine pigeons seize the opportunity to take a dump on your head. But you do usually get to hang around on your pedestal or plinth for a few decades, or even centuries, before you are abused by humans. That, like much in the old country, is changing, and 2020 shall henceforth be known as the year of the great toppling. But the last month has seen attacks on statues of two famous English women, proving equality is alive and well. (more…)

Dear American friends,

In recent years, it has been the case that wherever there is a war in the world, the Americans are there. The current civil war between two kinds of Russians is no different. Wherever a coup takes place and a country that was previously livable descends into chaos and violence, the Americans are there. (more…)

Partie 1, Partie 2

“C’est ce que nous sommes” est l’argument final de la politique identitaire. “Qui nous sommes” est un composé de parenté et de culture. Mais l’identité est politiquement impuissante si un peuple n’est pas prêt à s’affirmer, à prendre parti pour son propre camp dans un combat. (more…)

Les Blancs sont prêts pour la politique identitaire blanche. Cela est clair d’après la montée des politiciens et des partis populistes et nationalistes dans le monde blanc, ainsi que par les recherches de la politologue Ashley Jardina, qui montre qu’un nombre important d’Américains blancs a des identités raciales positives, pense que le système actuel est anti-Blancs, rejette la culpabilité blanche, et pense qu’il est approprié pour les Blancs de s’organiser politiquement pour protéger leurs intérêts collectifs [1].

Wendy K. Z. Anderson
Rebirthing a Nation: White Women, Identity Politics, and the Internet
Jackson: University Press of Mississippi, 2021

This is a book that the author conceived back in 2005 on a cute but shaky premise. A young academic in “Communications Studies,” Wendy K. Z.

Michael Brendan Dougherty
My Father Left Me Ireland: An American Son’s Search for Home
New York: Sentinel Books, 2019

When this was first published a couple of years ago, reviewers had two distinct takes about the book. One was that it was a wistful, sometimes bittersweet memoir about growing up without a father, because the father was off in Ireland, having never married Dougherty’s American mother; and also, the author had some romantic notions about Ireland, and wasn’t that special.  (more…)

The Western dominated American pop culture until the early 1970s, when it suddenly winked out like an aging athlete. TV was infested with Westerns. Jonathan Winters once complained that though he loved Westerns, he didn’t like “fifteen of them in a row.” It sure seemed that way. (more…)

When I was but a wee beardless prepubescent male in the 1960s, there was to be no questioning of the immutable fact that not only was the USA the greatest country in the world at that time, it was the greatest country the world had ever seen.

The Club King: My Rise, Reign, and Fall in New York Nightlife
Seattle: Little A, 2020

Driving with my father one day, we passed an imposing building, the Cornwall headquarters of the Orange Lodge, the Grand Order of British North America. “What’s that, papa?” I asked.

“It’s like a club,” he answered dismissively. (more…)
