While the regime was strengthening its police power, those on the margins of society organised themselves around peddlers ( tekiya) and professional gamblers ( bakuto). It all began during the Tokugawa shogunate (1603-1867). Their book, Yakuza, Japan’s Criminal Underworld, is a comprehensive and thoroughly researched and sourced text on the origin of this movement and its implementation. While photographers Anton Kusters and Chloé Jafé captured the yakuza‘s everyday existence on glossy paper, the Japanese mafia often keep themselves hidden from foreign eyes, preferring to leave themselves and their activities shrouded in mystery.Īlec Dubro and David Kaplan, two American journalists, decided to investigate this world, without judgement or sensationalism. The world of the yakuza is a source of fascination as so few people have had the opportunity to enter into it without being a member of the clan. The way he formulated the question of the literary dimension of history writing, in his monumental 1973 Metahistory: The Historical Imagination in Nineteenth-century Europe, was exemplarily provocative. Over a period of more than half a century, his interventions were pivotal to ongoing debates on the limits and benefits of History as a discipline, to the extent that it is difficult to tell whether White placed himself in the eye of the storm or his interventions were the storm itself. This special issue of the journal Práticas da História – Journal on Theory, Historiography and Uses of the Past was organised upon hearing news of Hayden White’s death – born in 1928, in the U.S.A., White would live there for most of his life and there he died, on March 2018.

Dean Koontz: Odd Facts About Author of Odd Thomasīestselling author Dean Koontz is the most famous author that refuses to do a book tour. And unless a motley group of ill-prepared defenders can harness an ancient native magic, there will be no stopping the malevolent shaman’s terrible rebirth-and no escaping the wholesale carnage it will engender. Something terrible is returning from the shadows to which it has been confined for centuries-a Native American monstrosity determined to destroy every vestige of the white race that oppressed and preyed upon America’s Indians. When the mass is revealed by doctors to contain something living, the stakes skyrocket-not only for Karen and Harry but for all humanity. Phony psychic and conman Harry Erskine never really believed in the occult until Karen Tandy approached him with a rapidly growing tumor on her neck, complaining of dark and disturbing dreams. An ancient vengeful spirit attempts to return through the body of a terrified young woman in this horror classic by an award-winning “master of the genre” ( Rocky Mountain News ). Over the course of the book, we meet her little brother Zindel (who's kind of a brat, in a sweet way), her older sister Gittel (who's fourteen and already thinking about whether Gittel's oddities are going to keep her from getting a good marriage match), her stepsister Rochel (who giggles a lot), and her stepmother Fruma who is smarter and more awesome than Mirka initially realizes.

He also admits that he has not felt regret for it. Sir Robert vehemently says that his decision to sell government secrets to the Baron was an act of courage and not weakness.
