Mencken The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2006 Excellent! An anthology of Mencken's newspaper reports and analyses on politics between 1920 and 1936. Most of them, I think, do not appear in any of the other various Mencken anthologies. They are written in lucid and musical prose, full of refreshing honesty and vigor.             Carnival Strippers4 reviews Susan.

If future historians learn to write and marshall their facts as well as Hair does here, the tales of our past will remain vivid and important to young readers of the future.             Rituals of Power & Rebellion: The Carnival Tradition in Trinidad & Tobago, 1763-19625 reviews Hollis Chalkdust, Ph.D. Liverpool Frontline Distribution International, 2001 Rituals of Power & Rebellion - A Must Read A REVIEW OF "RITUALS of POWER and REBELLION" November 26, 2001 A masterpiece of social history, Dr.Liverpool's book, "Rituals of Power & Rebellion -The Carnival Tradition in Trinidad & Tobago 1763-1962" is an invaluable addition to the scattered body of literature available on this topic.

This book is the bible to the ...             Carnival Desires4 reviews Mark Lindquist Atlantic Monthly Pr, 1990 Why didn't someone make a movie of this? Highly entertaining, almost shamefully so. This very funny novel of young Hollywood in the late eighties focuses on a group of friends in the industry.
