Scholar, Professor, Author, Former Newspaper Reporter, Maverick, and an Advocate of First Amendment Rights David Demers Has Written a Thought-Provoking Work “Scholar, professor, author, former newspaper reporter, maverick, and an advocate of First Amendment rights David Demers has written a thought-provoking work ... I very much enjoyed reading this book and was particularly interested in the author’s description of his fighting for what he believes in despite the obstacles. I found the discussion of his years in academia especially fascinating. ... a highly readable and thought-provoking book.” –Lucy Heckman, St. John’s University Library, Jamaica, NY “[Sociologist] C. Wright Mills defined sociology as the study of intersections between biography and history. By Mills’ definition, this book is sociology par excellence. It is an exemplar of sociological method. By tracing and reflecting on his personal initiatives and activities in the twilight decades of the twentieth century, Demers powerfully illuminates the direction of American society. On the other hand, The Lonely Activist doesn’t quite fit the bill of sociology [because] the prose is too smooth, engaging, and jargon-free. Better to call it social commentary or first-rate journalism. Whatever it is, read it and learn.” –Dr. Kenneth Westhues, professor emeritus of sociology, University of Waterloo, Canada, and expert on workplace mobbing “I loved every minute of this piece and was fully engaged with it. I found it beautifully written and very interesting. One thing I really like about this is that it deals with what could be difficult issues for average readers — philosophy, law, rights, history — but it is very understandable. I think a person with no or limited background could enter the work well and understand what [the author was] talking about. I never felt like [he was] writing over the reader’s head.” –Carolyn Walker, Writer’s Digest “With an approachable and easy style, Dr. Demers uses his life as a means to examine the history of the various sociological theories and trends that have shaped our culture to this day. These are supported by extensive research. Among the many ways Demers tried to reach out beyond ‘the ivory tower’ and make a difference in the world was by supporting his students in overcoming obstacles in having their stories published.” –Nancy Barthelemy, Archivist, Peabody Institute Library, Peabody, MA “This book is ... incredibly well researched and a very interesting, relevant story. It was thought-provoking and an unexpected story. My background is in the social sciences (political science) and I was both shocked and completely identified with the author’s story. Demers has a great voice and manages to tell his narrative without sounding holier-than-thou or just someone with a grudge match.” –Amada Scott, Librarian, Cambridge Springs Public Library, PA This book is “part biographical study of his own fight for his First Amendment rights while working as a college professor and part background of social science and its application. ... it was very interesting. Mostly I was reminded of the study that says the more people witnessing a crime, the less likely someone will help. For instance if a woman is being mugged on the street and there is one man witnessing it, it is far more likely that he will try to help her than if a group of people are passing by. .. This book is the story of a man who comes to help the woman before she knows she’s in trouble.” –Princess of the Library, http://princessofthelibrary.wordpress.com/2009/12/23/the-ivory-tower-of-babel “The author writes in an easy-to-understand style that makes it very readable.” – Ken Neubeck, Patchogue, NY This book “questions what role academics plays in the social world to help ‘solve’ societal problems. His passionate commitment to being a proponent of change emanates off every page as well as his zest for upholding First Amendment issues. ... Demers fuses so much of his own life experiences into the reading that one becomes caught up in his academic memoir and learns much more than anticipated because of how Demers explains everything with such detail and explication. Well worth reading for those interesting in journalism, mass communication, and academia. ... The greatest strength of the book is the passion and questioning Demers has. I believe that this is an important and relevant look into academic institutions and the responsibilities they have in their immediate environments and larger communities as well.” –Anne M.

  • Edward R. Murrow
    Edward R. Murrow Edward Roscoe Murrow (April 25, 1908 – April 27, 1965), born Egbert Roscoe Murrow,[1] was an American broadcast journalist and war correspondent. He first gained Edward R. Murrow prominence during World War II with a series of live radio broadcasts from Europe for the news division of CBS. During the war he recruited and worked closely with a team of war correspondents who came to be known as the Murrow Boys. A pioneer of radio and television news broadcasting, Murrow produced a series of reports on his television program See It Now which helped lead to the censure of Senator Joseph McCarthy. Fellow journalists Eric Sevareid, Ed Bliss, Bill Downs, Dan Rather, and Alexander Kendrick consider Murrow one of journalism's greatest figures, noting his honesty and integrity in delivering the news.

  • The Edward R. Murrow of Docudramas and Documentary
    Media History Monographs 12:1 (2010) ISSN 1940-8862 The Edward R. Murrow of Docudramas and Documentary By Lawrence N. Strout Mississippi State University Three major TV and film productions about Edward R. Murrow‟s life are the subject of this research: Murrow, HBO, 1986; Edward R. Murrow: This Reporter, PBS, 1990; and Good Night, and Good Luck, Warner Brothers, 2005. Murrow has frequently been referred to as the “father” of broadcast journalism. So, studying the “documentation” of his life in an attempt to ascertain its historical role in supporting, challenging, and/or adding to the collective memory and mythology surrounding him is important. Research on the docudramas and documentary suggests the depiction that provided the least amount of context regarding Murrow‟s life (Good Night) may be the most available for viewing (DVD). Therefore, Good Night might ultimately contribute to this generation (and the next) having a more narrow and skewed memory of Murrow. And, Good Night even seems to add (if that is possible) to Murrow‟s already “larger than life” mythological image. ©2010 Lawrence N. Strout Media History Monographs 12:1 Strout: Edward R.

  • “The Battle for the Enlightenment”: Rushdie, Islam, and the West
    i “The Battle for the Enlightenment”: Rushdie, Islam, and the West Adam Glyn Kim Perchard PhD University of York English and Related Literature August 2014 ii iii Abstract In the years following the proclamation of the fatwa against him, Salman Rushdie has come to view the conflict of the Rushdie Affair not only in terms of a struggle between “Islam” and “the West”, but in terms of a “battle for the Enlightenment”. Rushdie’s construction of himself as an Enlightened war-leader in the battle for a divided world has proved difficult for many critics to reconcile with the Rushdie who advocates “mongrelization” as a form of life-giving cultural hybridity. This study suggests that these two Rushdies have been in dialogue since long before the fatwa. It also suggests that eighteenth-century modes of writing and thinking about, and with, the Islamic East are far more integral to the literary worlds of Rushdie’s novels than has previously been realised. This thesis maps patterns of rupture and of convergence between representations of the figures of the Islamic despot and the Muslim woman in Shame, The Satanic Verses, and Haroun and the Sea of Stories, and the changing ways in which these figures were instrumentalised in eighteenth-century European literatures. Arguing that many of the harmful binaries that mark the way Rushdie and others think about Islam and the West hardened in the late eighteenth century, this study folds into the fable of the fatwa an account of European literary engagements with the Islamic world in the earlier part of the eighteenth century.
