Why does interrogation silence its object and not make it speak? Silence vs speech is a central issue in classical and modern literary works. This book studies literary representations of the power relations in which we are forced to speak using a range of texts ranging from the modern crime novel; via classics; to avant-garde plays.

Y. by the author. More specifically it is part of the Images of Modern America series and is more current in nature covering from the 1950s to nearly the present day as opposed to a more historical treatment.This book follows the same general form;at of others published by Arcadia. It consists of a series of photographs with captions with very limited text. Almost all of the photographs are in color; and typically are mostly snapshots instead of professionally produced images. The chapters include "The Evolving City"; "Faith; Service; and Heritage"; and "Landmarks and Legacy". The contents feature scenes around the community; public events; and pictures of selected residents.Having been raised in Glen Cove in the 1950s and 1960s I enjoyed this book as well as the authors previous two. My only significant issue is with the coverage given to local politicians; particularly the Suozzi family; which has been prominent in local politics for about 60 years. It appeared to be a bit gratuitous; and the approximately twenty photographs dedicated to the subject could have been better used for additional scenes of neighborhoods; landmarks; beaches; schools or the downtown area known as the "village". Another shortcoming is the quality of many of the photographs; which is typical of these books in general. As noted previously; they are more like snapshots; and their technical quality can often be mediocre; however; this is acceptable; since they may represent the only visual record of the subject.I recommend the book if you once lived in Glen Cove. I also recommend the previous two Glen Cove books in the series.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. WONDERFUL!!!By Nina M.
