  • June 2019 Stonewall at 50: a Major Anniversary Offers Opportunity For
    June 2019 Stonewall at 50: A Major Anniversary Offers Opportunity for New Historical Perspectives by Lexi Adsit Stonewall: For the LGBTQ community, this one word conjures up a range of emotions and beliefs. This month marks the 50th anniversary of the 1969 riots at the eponymous New York City bar, often mistakenly described as the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ movement. As we celebrate this symbolic episode, it's worth remembering that the riots are a complex and contested event, one whose legacy remains a subject of debate. For fresh perspectives on this iconic event, History Happens interviewed Marc Stein, vice chair of the GLBT Historical Society Board of Directors. A professor of history at San Francisco State University, Stein is the author of the new book The Stonewall Riots: A Documentary History (NYU Press, 2019). His research places Stonewall in a broader national context that positions the riots not as a starting point, but as a turning point. How were the Stonewall Riots viewed in California? News didn’t travel as quickly then as it does now, but many people found out via telephone conversations, friendship networks and word- of-mouth. Mainstream media didn’t provide much coverage, but alternative newspapers such as the Berkeley Barb and Berkeley Tribe and LGBTQ periodicals such as The Ladder in San Francisco and The Advocate in Los Angeles did better. Their reports suggest that many Californians viewed the Stonewall rebellion through the prism of recent developments on the West Coast. For everyone who knew about the anti-gay police killings of Howard Efland in Los Angeles (March 1969), Frank Bartley in Berkeley (April 1969), and Philip Caplan in Oakland (June 1969), the police raid on the Stonewall seemed like yet another instance of violent state repression.

  • George Galloway to Sue Momentum Founder Jon Lansman in Israel Spat
    MENU wednesday january 31 2018 George Galloway to sue Momentum founder Jon Lansman in Israel spat Lucy Fisher, Senior Political Correspondent January 31 2018, 12:01am, The Times George Galloway also accused David Baddiel, the comedian, of being a “vile Israel-fanatic” DANNY LAWSON/PA ! " # $ Share Save$ George Galloway announced yesterday that he would sue the founder of Momentum after he was accused of antisemitism. The former leader of the Respect Party, 63, said that he had instructed solicitors to launch a defamation case against Jon Lansman, a newly elected member of Labour’s governing body. Mr Lansman, 60, who is Jewish, waded into a row between Mr Galloway and the comedian and author David Baddiel, 53, who is also Jewish. On Twitter Mr Galloway called Baddiel a “vile Israel-fanatic”. He later wrote: “I was wrong to tweet that David Baddiel was an ‘Israel fanatic’, he is not and I have deleted it. I should have said that David Baddiel routinely slanders Israel critics like me as ‘antisemites’.” IN YOUR INBOX Politics daily briefing Get the inside track on UK politics from Red Box editor Matt Chorley, every morning at 8am Sign up now % Mr Lansman tweeted his “solidarity” with Baddiel, adding on social media: “Since he’s a Jew who’s talked about being non-Zionist, there’s no possible reason to call him a “vile Israel-fanatic” other than antisemitism. There clearly should be no place for @georgegalloway in @UKLabour or in the employment of @talkRADIO.” Mr Galloway said yesterday on Twitter: “I have never said an antisemitic word in my life.

Ballard, Adam Phillips Summary A high­security luxury housing estate in the Thames Valley is the setting for a disturbing outbreak of violence in this compelling novella from the acclaimed author of 'Cocaine Nights' and 'Super­Cannes'. Pangbourne Village housing estate is exclusive, expensive and protected from the outside world by the very latest in security systems. It should be the perfect place to bring up a child. So why, in the space of ten minutes early one morning, were the thirty­two adult residents brutally murdered, and all thirteen children abducted? No kidnapper has ever come forward, and the police are mystified. It is only when psychiatrist Richard Greville is called in that the truth behind the massacre gradually becomes clear… Contributor Bio J. G. Ballard was born in 1930 in Shanghai, where his father was a businessman. After internment in a civilian prison camp, he and his family returned to England in 1946. He published his first novel, The Drowned World, in 1961. His 1984 bestseller Empire of the Fourth Estate Sun won the Guardian Fiction Prize and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, and was 9780006548195 shortlisted for the Booker Prize. His memoir Miracles of Life was published in 2008. J. G. 0006548199 Ballard died in 2009.
