Massive Resistance is a compelling account of the white segregationist opposition to the US civil rights movement from the late 1940s to the mid-1960s. It provides vivid insights into what sparked the confrontations in US society during the run-up to the major civil rights laws that transformed America's social and political landscape. George Lewis has written a comprehensive overview of this controversial era of US history using his own research and interpretation, as well as new work by other experts in the field. The book concentrates on the political complexities of a campaign rooted in the white South that was intent on forestalling the march to racial equality. Themes covered include a white supremacist reading of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence; regional arguments for a 'distinctive' South; social and political doctrines of racial separatism as the core of southern identity; political oppression for the maintenance of white power; the role of physical intimidation and economic arguments used by the Ku Klux Klan.Lewis's authoritative work on southern segregationists and what drove them to oppose civil rights reform is a valuable resource for students of twentieth century American history.

Inside notorious and influential struggles to define what it means to be un-American, illuminating the complex evolution of the term throughout US historyThe term un-American has been wielded as a powerful tool throughout US history, from Jeffersons vision of the early Republic to the Trump era, yet no objective definition has ever been universally agreed upon. For the first time, George Lewiss Un-Americanism offers a long history of this term, tracing what it has meant to whom through close looks at the most prominent contests for control of its definition and deployment.Lewis examines case studies that show politicians using the idea of the un-American to advance their agendas, organizations using it in racial nationalist campaigns, and federal committees using it in investigations such as those of the anticommunist Red Scare of the Cold War, along with activists and coalitions who have countered rhetoric of the un-American by claiming their own use of the term. In these chapters, Lewis delves into the role of institutions and organizations such as the American Legion, the House Un-American Activities Committee, and the American Civil Liberties Union. Lewis paints a compelling picture of how the term has both shaped and been shaped by the countrys social and political landscape.Un-Americanism offers a profound analysis of how this term has drawn and redrawn lines between what is considered good or bad politically. By exploring its complex evolution, the book highlights how the term has impacted each generations understanding of national values and American identity. Lewis challenges readers to reflect on its ongoing influence in defining who truly belongs in the American story.

The Knot Handbook is an essential guide to 50 knots and their uses.A fresh redesign of the bestselling The Knot Handbook, this book is an old favourite of a classic craft that is now being re-imagined for new and old readers alike.This book shows readers how to tie 50 knots. Some have been chosen for their fame, some for their beauty, and some because they are knots that everyone should know how to tie. On every great theme, there are always possible variations, and, as the text makes clear, from time to time people come up with new effective methods of tying. Some of us may be destined to create knots that will bear our names for eternity, but first we need to study the time-honoured techniques: an intricate art that has been practised since before poetry or painting were dreamt of, which can’t be mastered in five minutes.Many of the knots featured are strongly associated with – and probably originated – from sailing, but even the saltiest of them have extensive applications on land: adhesive tape and Velcro have their uses, but they have not rendered knots redundant; no technological advance ever will.Knots are classified by their areas of use: climbing, boating, scouting, camping, arborist, rescue, fishing, household, archery, general, equestrian, livestock, indicated by colour coded symbols.
