But, who is the real Barbra Streisand, the Jewish girl from Flatbush, who grew up to become the biggest multimedia star of her generation? Despite the thousands of articles and handful of books that have been written about her, that question remains unanswered. Until now. Randall Riese has uncovered the fascinating, startling, and often disturbing facts of Streisand's life. Hers is the ultimate Cinderella story: that of an ugly duckling whose father died when she was an infant. Her Name Is Barbra reveals for the first time the true account of Streisand's troubled, emotionally abused childhood. Now in her fourth decade of international music and movie stardom, Streisand, a woman of great paradox, shies away from an adoring public. She is not only afraid as is well known to sing in public, she also fears going out in public, taking public transportation, even using public restrooms. She has become as one of her friends puts it, "one of the great introverts of our time." Ever since she arrived in Hollywood in 1967 to make Funny Girl, the film version of her Broadway smash, she has been depicted as the all-time bitch: cold, brash, obsessively controlling. Now Her Name Is Barbra reveals another side of Streisand, a side which the men in her life - Elliott Gould, Warren Beatty, Pierre Trudeau, Ryan O'Neal, Jon Peters, Don Johnson, Peter Weller, Andre Agassi, among them - have discovered for themselves. Her Name Is Barbra includes detailed, behind-the-scenes information, much of it never before revealed about her discovery in a gay nightclub in Greenwich Village; the Broadway shows that launched her career; and her films, including Funny Girl, The Way We Were, A Star Is Born, and Yentl, the last of which marked her official debut as a director. There is also an examination of her political leanings, from Kennedy to Clinton, and her activiities.

In this illuminating book Mr. Rosenblatt offers both sensitive analyses of individual works and a provocative and compelling thesis. He argues that black fiction has a unity deriving not from any chronological sequence, or simply from its black authorship, but from a particular cyclical conception of history on which practically every significant black american novel and short story is based. marked for oppression by an external physical characteristic, black characters struggle constantly against and within a hostile world. Mr. Rosenblatt's analysis of the way black protagonists try to break historical patterns provides an integrated and sustained interpretation of motives and methods in black fiction. The black hero, after starting on a circular track, may try to change direction by means of his youth, love, education, or humor; or he may try to escape into his own elusive and vague history. But, as Mr. Rosenblatt demonstrates, these attempts all fail. And the black hero discovers in the failure of his attempts that the society which caused all this failure is not only unattainable but undesirable.

From the Preface: It was a year ago today that Carl Parker died - March 17, 1918. His fortieth birthday would have come on March 31. His friends, his students, were free to pay their tribute to him, both in the press and in letters which I treasure. I alone of all, - I who knew him best and loved him most, - had no way to give some outlet to my soul; could see no chance to pay my tribute. One and another have written of what was and will be his valuable service to economic thought and progress; of the effects of his mediation of labor disputes, in the Northwest and throughout the nation; and of his inestimable qualities as friend, comrade, and teacher. "He gave as a Federal mediator
