The US Supreme Court says that there needs to be a strict separation between church and state--but the Mississippi Constitution includes references to "Almighty God" and even asks for His blessing. It also states that "the Holy Bible cannot be excluded from any public school in this state." Author Jeff Wallace, a former Mississippi state representative candidate, explores the contradictions between his state's constitution and what the courts say about the separation of church and state. In his analysis, he explores how litigation curbs free speech and belief; widely different philosophies are pulling the nation apart; politicians of the past provided a clear vision for the future; and citizens can find common ground as we move into the future. By examining Mississippi's constitution, Wallace makes a case that an In God We Trusted philosophy cannot move us past turmoil and confusion. Instead, it's time to return to "one nation under God."

Modernism was the artistic and intellectual revolution of the early twentieth century. Yet despite its now-secure location in history, the radical experimental practices of modernism continue to bewilder as much as they excite. Beginning Modernism offers a clear and reader-friendly introduction to this complex and invigorating subject. With an emphasis on the close reading of modernist artefacts, from literary texts to buildings, paintings to musical compositions, the book aims to demystify the notorious difficulties of 'high' modernism, showing them to be an incentive rather than an obstacle to understanding and exploration. At the same time, it highlights the emergence of a new modernist studies, emphasizing the eclectic, the popular, and the global or transnational. Readers are encouraged to situate their reading of modernist literature within a wider set of cultural contexts, which include: visual art; ideas of time and space; sculpture; photography; film; politics; technology; sexuality; primitivism; architecture; dance; drama, and music. Beginning Modernism will be of interest both to the general reader, and to undergraduates and postgraduates in the fields of literary studies, art history and cultural studies.
