  • Race and Cricket: the West Indies and England At
    RACE AND CRICKET: THE WEST INDIES AND ENGLAND AT LORD’S, 1963 by HAROLD RICHARD HERBERT HARRIS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON August 2011 Copyright © by Harold Harris 2011 All Rights Reserved To Romelee, Chamie and Audie ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My journey began in Antigua, West Indies where I played cricket as a boy on the small acreage owned by my family. I played the game in Elementary and Secondary School, and represented The Leeward Islands’ Teachers’ Training College on its cricket team in contests against various clubs from 1964 to 1966. My playing days ended after I moved away from St Catharines, Ontario, Canada, where I represented Ridley Cricket Club against teams as distant as 100 miles away. The faculty at the University of Texas at Arlington has been a source of inspiration to me during my tenure there. Alusine Jalloh, my Dissertation Committee Chairman, challenged me to look beyond my pre-set Master’s Degree horizon during our initial conversation in 2000. He has been inspirational, conscientious and instructive; qualities that helped set a pattern for my own discipline. I am particularly indebted to him for his unwavering support which was indispensable to the inclusion of a chapter, which I authored, in The United States and West Africa: Interactions and Relations , which was published in 2008; and I am very grateful to Stephen Reinhardt for suggesting the sport of cricket as an area of study for my dissertation.

Hawkins (right) and Rosa L. Hawkins (left), joined by Athelgra Neville. Photo by Richard Strauss, Smithsonian Institution Rhythm and Blues 53 Tell It Like It Is by Mark Puryear In 1964 The Dixie Cups®, a female vocal trio from New Orleans, crooned out a cheerful version of “Chapel of Love” and knocked the Beatles from their number one spot on the pop charts. A year later, the trio released “Iko Iko,” a song first released in 1954 by James “Sugar Boy” Crawford as “Jock-A-Mo,” whose lyrics recount the meeting of two groups of Mardi Gras Indians. Since then, this song has been cov- ered by artists from the Grateful Dead to Cyndi Lauper, and continues to move new generations with its infectious New Orleans rhythms. The career of The Dixie Cups, and their direct and indirect roles in carrying rhythm and blues (R&B) into mainstream consciousness, speaks to the enduring pow- er of this music to transcend region and musical category and become a representative sound of the country. Musical Crossroads by Dwandalyn Reece The National Museum of African American History of musical genres, highlighting musical innovations, and Culture (NMAAHC) was established by an act of significant time periods and events along with Congress in 2003 making it the nineteenth museum historic performances to capture the music’s impact of the Smithsonian Institution.

Tonbridge School. 2. Hildenborough. Index 99 3 Foreword Although the origins of the phrase ‘total war’ are disputed, there is no doubt that it was the Second World War that most clearly represents the concept. The vast scale of the forces deployed in that conflict required the mobilization of whole populations, not only to provide the military personnel, but also the logistical support on which they depended. Added to this was an array of ancillary services - transport, medicine, intelligence, science, civil, agriculture, etc. - without which modern industrial warfare could not function. They were organized and controlled by the state and correspondingly became targets for attack by an enemy that, thanks to air power, could strike more or less anywhere and at any time. For the first time, therefore, it was not only the territories of the combatants that had to be defended but their populations too.

  • Thirty-Seven Kings Legends of Kent & Records of the Family of Boys by Lilian Boys Behrens
    UNDER THIRTY-SEVEN KINGS LEGENDS OF KENT & RECORDS OF THE FAMILY OF BOYS BY LILIAN BOYS BEHRENS LONDON THE SAINT CATHERINE PRESS ST AM FORD STREET S.E. 1926 Dedicated to The Men of Kent and Kentish Men and to The Maids of Kent and Kentish Maids PREFACE T is with pleasure that I write a few words of introduction to this book, which records the legends an~ deeds of an historical family in some respects unique. The name of Boys has been known in Kent and other counties since 1066, when a knight of Wm. the Conqueror, one Richard de Bosco, landed on these shores. In later years the spelling of the name was changed to Boys, Boyes, Boyce and Bois. This Godfearing, honourable family have not only been always loyal to their King and Country, but have done much to help in the making of England and her colonies. This record is the result of long and earnest study from all available documents, and the author is very grateful to all her relations and friends who have so kindly assisted her in the work. The book will be found of great interest, not only to members of the family, but to archreologists and historians generally, and should. find a place in every public and private library. As all profits resulting from the sale of this work ( after publishing expenses are paid) are to go towards a fund to enlarge Jesus Hospital, Canterbury, it is hoped that it may obtain widespread and liberal support. MARTIN CONWAY. Allington Castle, Kent, June 28th, 1926.
