BOOK REVIEW:Red Rubber Introduction Leopold II is best known as the organizer and proprietor of the not well really popular Congo Free State. To most English-talking learners his name inspires ‘Red Rubber’ and a universe of loot and outrage: the Congo Reform Association which battled against his merciless misuse of the Free State has deserted it a thought of a matured, snow-whiskery Satan who utilized dark bondage to get cash, and cash to purchase the favors of young ladies. The citation is from Neal Ascherson’s The King Incorporated, distributed over thirty years back. Numerous stories merit retelling for every era; and the story of Leopold’s trickery, lubriciousness and insatiability, and of the savageries and plunders with which his workers in the Congo Free State bolstered his longings and their own, is positively one of them. Adam Hochschild has taken the vast majority of the material for his new book from distributed sources; however about that I have no slant to gripe. A long way from it. The discoveries of pro students of history have continually to be “interpreted” for the…

Stephen Symonds Foster, The Brotherhood of Thieves (1843) New Hampshire reformer Stephen Symonds Foster studied for the ministry but left Union Theological Seminary when the faculty demanded he stop giving antislavery lectures. Throughout his career, he sought to hold the church accountable for what he viewed as its complicity in slavery. Foster’s incendiary rhetoric thrilled his supporters and often led his opponents to respond with violence. In the following document, he describes a speech he gave in Nantucket in 1842 that provoked an anti-abolitionist riot.   I said at your meeting, among other things, that the American church and clergy, as a body, were thieves, adulterers, man-stealers, pirates, and murderers ; that the Methodist Episcopal church was more corrupt and profligate than any house of ill-fame in the city of New York; that the Southern ministers of that body were desirous of perpetuating slavery for the purpose of supplying themselves with concubines from among its hapless victims ; and that many of our clergymen were guilty of enormities that would disgrace an Algerian pirate! These sentiments called forth a burst…

Urban Legends as Cultural Symbols             Urban legends are used to act as interpellations in our society today. According to Brunvand’s essay about the urban legends, I agree to his assertion which states that urban legends are such significant elements of the cultures from which they emerge, that they may sometimes rise to the status of becoming “cultural symbols”. Urban legends play an essential part in popular culture as they offer insights to societal fears. Academics, however, argue that urban legends are too fantastic to be true because they are passed on by mouth (Whipps). They disagree that the legends lack an original source since they infer to happening to a friend of a friend. Brunvand therefore explains the important lessons they impart and how they act as indicators of happenings in a given society hence referred to as cultural symbols. In his essay “The Boyfriend’s Death”, Brunvand explains how the urban legend is an example of a cultural symbol. A cultural symbol is a word, action or sign manifested and that which signifies a particular meaning within a culture.…
