A local girl, holding a banner advertising “Holy Rosary Greater Italian Day” stands beside him, while Galento stuffs a huge forkful of pasta into his mouth.1 How was it that fifty years after the mass immigration of Italians to the United States, Italians had come to use a constellation of symbols like spaghetti to express a newly developed ethnic identity? During the period between the two World Wars, in the industrial city of Reading, Pennsylvania, Italians appropriated and recontextualized a bricolage of American and Italian folk and popular images and rhetoric in ritual public events of ceremony and celebration. Through the lens of the two most significant celebrations, the Columbus Day and the Italian Day Festivals, we will see how Italians used these displays to create a public ethnic memory, shaping a unique past distinct from the mainstream cultural consensus.2 Public memory is constituted in physical spaces. Italians staged celebrations in public locations historically infused with symbolic meaning for the majority population. By using and sometimes permanently altering spaces (City Park, for instance) that were sacred in a civic sense, Italians reinscribed these material places, creating ethnic sites of memory in their adopted city.

  • Max Baer, Jr., He Cried and Had Nightmares Over the Incident for Decades Afterwards

    Max Baer, Jr., He Cried and Had Nightmares Over the Incident for Decades Afterwards

    Biography He was born Maximilian Adelbert Baer in Omaha, Nebraska, the son of German immigrant Jacob Baer (1875-1938), who had a Jewish father and a Lutheran mother, and Dora Bales (1877-1938). His older sister was Fanny Baer (1905-1991), and his younger sister and brother were Bernice Baer (1911-1987) and boxer-turned actor Buddy Baer (1915-1986). His father was a butcher. The family moved to Colorado before Bernice and Buddy were born. In 1921, when Maxie was twelve, they moved to Livermore, California, to engage in cattle ranching. He often credited working as a butcher boy and carrying heavy carcasses of meat for developing his powerful shoulders. He turned professional in 1929, progressing steadily through the ranks. A ring tragedy little more than a year later almost caused him to drop out of boxing for good. Baer fought Frankie Campbell (brother of Brooklyn Dodgers Hall of Famer Adolph Camilli) on August 25, 1930 in San Francisco and knocked him out. Campbell never regained consciousness. After lying on the canvas for nearly an hour, Campbell was finally transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital where he eventually died of extensive brain hemorrages. An autopsy revealed that Baer's devastating blows had knocked Campbell's entire brain loose from the connective tissue holding it in place within his cranium. This profoundly affected Baer; according to his son, Max Baer, Jr., he cried and had nightmares over the incident for decades afterwards. He was charged with manslaughter. Although he was eventually acquitted of all charges, the California State Boxing Commission still banned him from any in-ring activity within their state for the next year.

M An outlaw practice : boxing, governance and western law Abstract This investigation examines the uses of Western law to regulate and at times outlaw the sport of boxing. Drawing on a primary sample of two hundred and one reported judicial decisions canvassing the breadth of recognised legal categories, and an allied range fight lore supporting, opposing or critically reviewing the sport's development since the beginning of the nineteenth century, discernible evolutionary trends in Western law, language and modern sport are identified. Emphasis is placed on prominent intersections between public and private legal rules, their enforcement, paternalism and various evolutionary developments in fight culture in recorded English, New Zealand, United States, Australian and Canadian sources. Fower, governance and regulation are explored alongside pertinent ethical, literary and medical debates spanning two hundred years of Western boxing history. & Acknowledgements and Declaration This has been a very solitary endeavour.
