To read Hal Crowther is to find yourself agreeing with views on topics you never knew you cared so much about. In Gather at the River, Crowther extends the wide-angle vision of Southern life presented in his highly acclaimed collection Cathedrals of Kudzu. He cuts to the heart of recent political, religious, and cultural issues but pauses to appreciate the sweet things that the South has to offer, like music, baseball, great writers, and strong women. Some of these essays invite debate. Crowther gives a balanced perspective on the tragedy of the Branch Davidians at Waco, shedding light on a different world of religiosity and revealing urban media prejudices for what they are. He describes the unique heroism of a fallen Marine in the Iraq war, a war fought by one class and promoted by another. And his solution to racial conflict—interracial procreation—will jump-start readers’ sensibilities. In other chapters, Crowther discusses the grim portrayal of the South in early film and the triumphs of Southern music. His literary essays include appreciations of William Faulkner, Thomas Wolfe, Elizabeth Spencer, and Wendell Berry, and a biting lampoon of exhibitionist memoirs. Among the Southerners Crowther profiles with pride are the art historian and Museum of Modern Art curator Kirk Varnedoe; the great, cursed baseball player Shoeless Joe Jackson; the curmudgeonly realist H. L. Mencken; and the singer Dolly Parton, whose candid artifice inspires the author’s litmus test for Southern authenticity.

In the writing of Hal Crowther, lyrical language joins wit and frankness, and the South—with all its burdens, curiosities, and promises—comes vividly into view. Gather at the River enhances Crowther’s reputation as one of the most eloquent and original observers of Southern letters, morals, and manners..

Soccer fandom has traditionally been seen as an important part of adolescent, generally male, identity-making. In this timely and important contribution to the field of popular cultural studies, Steve Redhead looks at the way youth culture is being reshaped by media culture in its various aspects at the end of the millennium. He looks at "post-fandom", the style conscious shifting allegiences heavily influenced by advertising and popular music at the globalization and mediaization of sports culture through such events as the World Cup staged in America in 1994 and at the complicated relations between football and the law reflected in the public obsession with so-called soccer hooliganism at a time when the phenomena concerned seemed to be dying away..

CONTEMPORARY SEX AND SEXUAL MORES THROUGH THE LENS OF GENDER THEORY

Who do you love? What do you do in bed? And what else would you like to do in bed? Queerer Than You Think: Post-Millennial Bodies, Sex, & Porn takes a candid, refreshing look at the these questions in a series of essays exploring the sexual realm and the politics of sexual representation - sexual words and pictures.  These can be used to titillate and educate, and also serve as a record of the social and political climates of a given point in history.  Debates revolving around pornography often hinge on the importance of freedom of speech. This witty, readable collection covers a variety of controversial subjects including feminism, homosexuality, pornography, prostitution, current sex laws, definitions of "erotica" versus "pornography," censorship, and sexual humor as political commentary. The author, a gay male anthologist, who works in the mental health and substance abuse fields, covers such enthralling topics as "Sweet Potato Pie: Women, Pornography, and Catching the Third Wave of Feminism," which looks at the debate between the pro-censorship feminist movement, backed by the religious right and other conservative organizations, and "third wave" feminists, who celebrate female sexuality in all its forms; "Erotica vs. Pornography: A Delicious Debate," which shows how what are called "society's definitions of the obscenity" conflict with those of authors of erotica and the reading public; "Pornographic Propaganda," a compendium of ways sexual materials can be manipulated for political gain; "Pandora's Hive Takes Flight: The Buzz on Prostitution," a peek at the ideological war storming around world's oldest profession since "sex workers" began to unionized and demand an end to antiprostitution laws; and other essays like, "Dancing Cheek to Cheek: Gay Men and Pornography Obsession," "Bone Tickling: The Politics of Sexual Humor," "Take Me At Midnight: Vampire Sexuality," "Busted: Sex and the Law," and more. Queerer Than You Think will turn readers' traditional notions of sex upside down and inside-out, while pointing toward the next set of questions we face as we move on into this new millennium.

Many modern Pretribulationists and other Dispensationalists claim that most (if not all) of the first Early Church Fathers were Rapturists Such believe Jesus could return "any moment" to resurrect dead Christians and then secretly "rapture" His dwindling though still-living Church "up in the air" before "the great tribulation" of ungodly earthlings. Thereafter, the Church would then return and rule with Christ on Earth for a thousand years - until God would resurrect the wicked dead. That notion is false. Neither the Church of the Older Testament (even when under foreign domination) nor the always-struggling and often-persecuted Church of the Newer Testament ever expected to dwindle or to be whisked away; but only to conquer this great planet Earth under her victorious Messiah. That Church expected God not to the rapture her - but to heal the World His Son had come to save..
