Under the leadership of Samuel Adams, patriot propagandists conscientiously kept the issue of slavery off the agenda as goals for freedom were set for the American Revolution. This book finds that the patriots avoided, misinterpreted, or distorted news reports on blacks and slaves, even in the face of a vigorous antislavery movement.

The mass media promotion of the feminist profile, according to Patricia Bradley, author of Mass Media and the Shaping of American Feminism, 1963-1975 proved to be a double-edged sword,. She argues that, although millions of women learned about feminism by way of the mass media, detrimental stereotypes emerged overnight.

This book offers a social and cultural history of American culture in the formative years of the twentieth century, examining forms such as vaudeville, early film, popular songs, modernist art, and many others in the context of contemporary social changes.

Thank God, I am a risk-taker. My diary is evidence. I wanted adventure. Perhaps romance. I needed to prove that, at forty, I was not too old to find romance. My instinct told me that the time was right. I went to Turkey in mid-1993 and found both adventure and love. I also predicted that my diary of my year in Turkey would form the basis for a romantic novel. It has done so. In this novel based on my diary, I am Kate, a forty-year-old teacher and loving, single mother of four sons. I have been with my Australian school for twenty years, and now I feel it is time for a break from my responsibilities as a parent. It's time to welcome new adventures and, hopefully, romance. I jump at an offer to take a year's leave from my school and teach in Istanbul. My diary shows how I live life to the full. As I write this novel, I can read the sequence of events that led to perhaps the most romantic, challenging, exciting, scary times in my life. And I can be eternally grateful that I did jump in and face life. At the start of my year in Turkey, two handsome, well-educated men became potential romantic interests. And then, unexpectedly, a third man came into my life.
