Book Description
Since tsarist times, Roma in Russia have been portrayed as both rebellious outlaws and free-spirited songbirdsâin each case, as if isolated from society. In Soviet times, Russians continued to harbor these two, only seemingly opposed, views of âGypsies,â exalting their songs on stage but scorning them on the streets as liars and cheats. Alaina Lemon’s Between Two Fires examines how Roma themselves have negotiated these dual images in everyday interactions and in stage performances.
Lemon’s ethnographic study is based on extensive fieldwork in 1990s Russia and focuses on Moscow Romani Theater actors as well as Romani traders and metalworkers. Drawing from interviews with Roma and Russians, observations of performances, and conversations, as well as archives, literary texts, and media, Lemon analyzes the role of theatricality and theatrical tropes in Romani life and the everyday linguistics of social relations and of memory. Historically, the way Romani stage performance has been culturally framed and positioned in Russia has served to typecast Gypsies as ânaturalâ performers, she explains. Thus, while theatrical and musical performance may at times empower Roma, more often it has reinforced and rationalized racial and social stereotypes, excluding them from many Soviet and Russian economic and political arenas. Performance, therefore, defines what it means to be Romani in Russia differently than it does elsewhere, Lemon shows. Considering formal details of language as well as broader cultural and social structures, she also discusses how racial categories relate to post-Soviet economic changes, how gender categories and Euro-Soviet notions of civility are connected, and how ontological distinctions between âstage artâ and âreal lifeâ contribute to the making of social types. This complex study thus serves as a corrective to romantic views of Roma as detached from political forces.
Book Description
"The return to the kitchen was not easy. I wanted my daughter to know her past, to eat what I had eaten in my childhood; however, I quickly realized that I no longer remembered my family's recipes....I forced myself to try and remember a recipe on my own. And that is how I discovered, as I had already known in my childhood, that it was possible to hear voices in the kitchen."
Mexican novelist Laura Esquivel leapt to international fame with Like Water for Chocolate. With millions of copies sold in hardcover and paperback, and with the phenomenal success of the movie, it is truly one of the most beloved stories of the last decade. In her latest book, Between Two Fires, Laura Esquivel continues to sustain us on levels beyond the physical.
Between Two Fires is a wonderful collection of the best of her passionate speeches, short writings, and recipes from the last decade or so, most never published in English. Funny, poignant, imaginative, and insightful, Esquivel muses on all the topics we have come to associate with her -- love, life, family, and of course, the importance of food in all aspects of the human experience -- while also giving us a rare look at what makes her tick. Beautifully illustrated with delightful drawings, this gem is the perfect gift book for her many fans, as well as for foodies and readers of Latin literature everywhere.

A collection of thoughts........2001-03-24
For those of you who expect something along the same lines as "Like Water for Chocolate" and "The Law of Love," you will be disappointed. "Between Two Fires" is basically a collection of thoughts, or short essays, taken from articles published in "Vogue de Mexico;" prologues to books such as "The Secrets of Jesuit Breadmaking," by Rick Curry; or speeches made at book fairs and psychoanalyst workshops.
"Between Two Fires" does not carry the heady aroma and full body of Esquivel's previous books. One feels as though someone forgot to keep stoking the fire and the meal, so to speak, has well ... gone cold in places.
If however, you want a quick, short read to pass the time on the bus, train, underground, in the doctor's waiting room or waiting for the kettle to boil whilst in the full knowledge that you can finish a chapter by the time you get to your destination, are called for your appointment or need to make tea for the neighbours, then this is an ideal book to carry along with you. It is basically an anthology of memories, thoughts, ideas, short stories, interwoven with the ever present taste and aroma of the kitchen.

Complex Subject Made Simpler but not Simplistic.......2006-11-29
One of the best books on this murky period. The author's format is to put a microscope on a pivotal event in each country that was an important player in the development of European politics and policies which paved the way to WW2. These re-shaped Europe's will and ability to resist Hitler in the 5 short years from 1933-38. I like that he uses these to develop the shades of complexity of the situation, not to package everything up in a neat, simple explanation.
Examples:
FRANCE. 1933. In the Stavisky Affair and the "twilight of the third republic" yet another emanation of anti-semitism leads to several changes of government and a precarious balance between strong leftists and rightists who bring their grievances into bloody or threatened conflicts in the streets.
AUSTRIA. 1934. Socialists and fascists struggled for control of the ruins of the Hapsburg empire center. Fascists conduct a terror campaign eerily similar to Hamas or Hezbollah, and a bloody civil war followed.
ENGLAND. 1936. The Jarrow crusade shows how the country's democratic institutions and ideas of how to address grievances operate in stark contrast to the rise of strong men and civil war on the continent.
SOVIET UNION. 1933-38. "The revolution eats its children" as endless purges emasculated the army and made the country vulnerable to invasion. Duplicitous Stalin publicly demonized Hitler while cunningly working behind the shadows to be his ally.
And on it goes with Spain, Italy and Czechoslovakia. By the 1938 Munich conference we've seen a continent exhausted and still suffering the economic and psychological effects of the horribly mismanaged WW1. Governments have changed hands and most stand on shaky footing. Alliances are shifting. Everyone is tired of war except Hitler who is chomping at the bit. Historians dispute the interpretation of the Munich appeasement. It's clear that, while it bought everyone more "breathing space" to repair military deficiences, that Germany "breathed deeper."
The speed of re-positioning alliances should be instructive for us all. Highly recommended reading.
A little gem of history!.......2005-01-22
A fantastic and well-written book about the events leading up to WWII. Excellent information for a mere 425 pages!
A wonderful read for any history buff.......2004-03-05
As a history major, I've read and seen my fair share of books used as texts. This one is a really good one required for my "Age of Dictators" course. It's easy to read and it's really, really interesting. Professor Large appears to be an excellent writer and historian. I am looking forward to reading more of his works.

Well-researched and thorough .......2005-02-12
As the title clearly tells us, this is a book (primarily) about the contributions of the American Indian to the American Civil War. It starts the reader with some of the early atrocities and misunderstandings that have characterized Indian and White interactions throughout American history. Some are the same things you will read about in any decent high school history text, and some are new for those that are not Indian history "buffs", such as myself. For example, I was not aware of the cruel and deliberate destruction of the Indian populations in California during the Gold Rush of 1849 until I read about it here.
The book discusses Indian participation on both sides of the war and their various motivations for joining in the fight. These motivations range from genuine patriotism to wanting to suck up to the government (be it Union or Confederate) for favors to wanting a steady, if small income to just wanting to get involved in the biggest thing that was going to happen to this generation of Americans.
Among the more interesting vignettes are the story of how the Eastern Band of the Cherokees (if you have been to the Smoky Mountain Nat'l Park you've heard of them) earned their land through service to the CSA, the biography of Colonel Ely Parker, the Indian who drafted Lee's surrender for his friend U.S. Grant and the Battle of the Crater. This Battle in the Petersburg siege had 3 different groups of Indians fighting (one on the side of the CSA, two on the USA) along with Blacks and Whites. It was probably the most integrated battle the U.S. fought until the Korean War, when Truman desegegrated the armed forces.
This is one of the most heavily referenced books I've ever read. There are 53 pages of end notes and 42 pages of bibliography for a 192 page book! If you are ever looking for a great source of information for a paper or research project on the Civil War, I'd recommend starting with this list.
Final Grade: B+ (good writing style, ocassionally too in-depth and bordering on trivia)
I was hoping for more.......2000-04-07
In this book Hauptman tells about a little known part of Civil War/American Indian history-the Native Americans who fought on both sides of the conflict. Before reading this I generally thought of the Civil War as a period when the Plains Indians got a brief respite from their battle for freedom and the tribes of the East-well, I didn't really know.
While Hauptman gives us some interesting facts, however, he never really treats the obvious question. Why? Why did so many American Indians put their lives on the line for a battle between two factions of whites? Unfortunately Hauptman devotes little time to this part of the issue, simply stating over and over that the Indians saw this as a way to ward off even further dislocation and perhaps as "a bargaining chip" with their conquerors. I would have liked him to go into more detail. For example, was it individual Indians who chose to fight, or were they encouraged by tribal leaders? Were there any negotiations going on between Indians and whites? Were the whites making promises to the Indians in order to recruit them? In his last chapter, Hauptman tells us what we already know. Whatever the Indians hoped to gain pretty much came to nothing. But he doesn't tell us what, if anything the Indians did to fight this outcome.
This was worth reading because I learned some interesting things. For example how Indians were seen in the South vis a vis Blacks; how different tribes viewed slavery, etc. However, I was hoping for more.
Worthy goal, but hindered by weak writing........1999-05-18
"Between Two Fires" reveals little new and signficant material on the Native American's role in the Civil War, but it does attempt to cover both sides of the War. Hauptman should be commended on making Indian involvment on both the sides the focus of his book, but his clumsy narrative dilutes the subject's impact.
An Interesting subject usually overlooked........1998-07-23
A rich and infinitely interesting subject -- a sad, mistreated people join in a war to help the very ones responsible for their wretched condition in a last, desperate effort to secure a happier existence for their tribes by proving their worth to their oppressors. I did not find this book particularly well written and often felt its lack of narrative interest getting in the way of my enjoyment of and attention to the subject. There were many points that made the book well worth reading however, and if it did nothing else, it gave me a deeper understanding of the "Native American ordeal" leading up to and following the ACW. It also did a good job of pointing out how the story of the African American's emancipation has overshadowed many other stories of the Civil War and while their (the African Americans') situation was well improved by war's end, the Native American's problems were just beginning and that theirs is perhaps one of the "real" tragedi! es of the Civil War. Although I don't feel the book lives up to its potential given its rich subject, I would recommend it to anyone looking for an entirely different slant on Civil War history.
A fine overview of Native Americans in the Civil War........1997-12-08
This history by Hauptman is a long overdue light on the hidden stories of Native Americans in the Civil War. As a Delaware Indian, I really appreciated his chapter on the Delaware Tribe, and our brave scouts, Black Beaver and Capt. Falleaf. It is good to see our heroes get the recognition they deserve. Non-Indians who read this will have to wonder at the courage and dedication of Indian people who fought in the Civil War, despite not being U.S. citizens. The stories of sacrifice and suffering of Indian people in this war needed to be told, and Hauptman has done an excellent job.
Book Description
Commanding his small, bitterly divided squadron deep into enemy waters, John Paul Jones must master both the opposition and himself as he joins the battle that will seal his fame. Meanwhile, his former comrade John Severence confronts another, more ominous brand of warfare on the frontiers of colonial New York. Both men are transformed in the crucible of combat, courage, and wartime folly.

History isn't a pretty thing. But it certainly isn't dull........2005-01-06
I read this almost immediately after finishing The Eighteenth Captain. I was happy to see characters I'd just met again.
Different stories run side by side in time and are connected, if only by a thread. It's a complex book.
With distressing verisimilitude, the anguish, pain, ugliness, and gore are written onto the pages. The author describes horrors that depict the events of the time; these horrors are so unlike my shining, sparkling image of an army walking home with freedom held high, a vision I developed in an apparent haze of patriotism, that I find myself a bit disappointed in history.
The novel has succussfully conveyed that the world was as dirty and complex then as it is now. Nothing is simple. Seeing Washington behave as a politician rather than a hero takes some of the shine away from his sterling image.
I can blame my shift in perception on character development. Having read his previous book, I know the author can create characters who have enough depth to make me actively hate them and love them, all at once. This book's characters, happily, do not escape that talent. The players were intriguing enough to make me want to know them better, to spend time with all of them so I could watch as they tell each other what fools they each are or clap each other on the back with congratulations.
They may also want to congratulate their author for making them real enough to convey the interconnectedness of events, people, and the larger implications of both.
Aroused My Interest.......2004-03-30
I'm not into historical fiction, but after reading Nicastros 2 novels, "The Eighteenth Captain" and "Between Two Fires" aroused my interest and made me a fan of this gifted author.
These compelling sagas of tragedy, bravery and adventure kept me reading into the wee hours of the morning. I'm waiting to devour your next book, Mr. Nicastro.
Exciting and tautly written.......2003-02-09
The second novel of the John Paul Jones Trilogy by Nicholas Nicastro, Between Two Fires continues the saga of America's first naval hero. An historical fiction, Between Two Fires offers the reader a riveting 18th Century odyssey of bravery, battle, tragedy, and loss on the high seas, exciting and tautly written. Also very highly recommended is the first novel of this outstanding trilogy, The Eighteenth Captain...
Provocative, Gruesome March to Nationhood.......2002-12-21
There are no easy blacks and whites in Nicholas Nicastro's wonderfully written tales of the American Revolution. Forget about the flag-waving pabulum that your ninth grade textbook passed off as American History. Nicastro portrays John Paul Jones as a Napoleonic .... who alternates his barks with his bites as the never-say-die commander of the Bonhomme Richard. The monomaniac runs many of his men and his ship into extinction while defeating the British Serapis.
The even more engrossing parallel tale in "Between Two Fires" revolves around conscience-stricken Captain Severance, who watches his Colonial comrades barbarically commit genocide against the Iroquois Nation. Nicastro takes Lechterian delight in describing the atrocities perpetrated under General Sullivan's command--officers parade around in flesh cut from the hides of Native Americans while burning and desecrating village after village. Yes the Indians do commit their share of torture, but theirs, as described by Nicastro, is a far more noble form of sadism.
Should David Lynch ever decide to direct an 18th Century war picture, this book is filled with a wonderful cache of quirky historical curiosities. A female character aboard Jones's ship dedicates her life to capturing the ideal physical traits of people she meets in her sketchbook. Her goal is to create a composite which would match the image of Jesus Christ. I won't betray the macabre manner in which she locates the preeminent nose. Joseph, the noble Native American hero aboard the Richard, has his teeth knocked out halfway through the saga and speaks the remainder in a humorous lisp. George Washington is a self-conscious poser, pretending to act as a great commander should act-- the Ronald Reagan of his day.
The book does have a few narrative flaws. Would an eighteenth century officer really write letters describing all the grotesqueries of war, not missing a morbid detail, to his bride-to-be? Would he also write extensively about his obvious attraction for a headstrong Native American woman?
But minor exceptions aside, this is a novel not to be ignored--certainly for fans of seafaring novels but more broadly for anyone hungering for sharply written historical ficition, fiction with a harsher, less propagandistic view of the era.
Book With Fire..........2002-11-05
The worst thing about reading great trilogies is the wait. I re-read the first book, "The Eighteenth Captain", just prior to the release of "Between Two Fires"; as I often do with a much anticipated release. If you haven't read the first book...do yourself a favor and grab a copy.
"Between Two Fires" provided some of the best historical fiction writing I've had the pleasure to page-turn. You don't need to be a history, war or nautical buff to truly enjoy the well-developed, fascinating characters in Nicastro's follow-up book. He has a way of writing dialogue that makes you feel a part of the conversation...as if you might be standing next to the characters. No easy task.
This book has everything I enjoy...action, compelling characters, period atmosphere that draws me into the time, and a great story. Please get the third book out a bit quicker.

Give it a chance.......2007-09-05
This book gives you a peak into a different kind of hero and although we don't learn alot of Quin, James P. Davis pulls off a good read. Beginning to end its a solid book. Give it a chance and you will be surprised.
Unique and readable!.......2007-06-09
I've been a Forgotten Realms reader for almost 20 years and consider myself very picky when it comes to the genre. I have found many of the new authors lacking when it comes to backstory and character development. However, Bloodwalk gives me new hope. Davis has created compelling characters, each with their own story. I look forward to reading more about Quin and how he came to his current "occupation." Another strength of this book is its uniqueness. Davis has created an imaginative story line that doesn't rely on well-established forms of magic,while still sticking true to D&D rules, in particular Morgynn's brand of blood magic.
Davis has made my list of authors to watch for!
Meh.......2007-03-26
I've read the entire series now and this book left me with a huge "so what" feeling afterward. The wizard, who should have been the main focal point of the book was one dimensional and boring. No plague needed here. She'll just bore you to death. Her pet was more interesting than she.
The Ghostwalker was kind of "OK, he's kinda cool" but he just wasn't supposed to be the main guy in the story. Honestly, I had to go look up Hoar in my Forgotten Realms campaign guide to remind me who he was. And the fighter? Granted she had more charisma than the wizard in the story, but that's like being the best Ballerina in Galveston.
To be honest, I didn't give a rat's patootie about the main character or even the supporting characters. It took me days to read and when I put it down I just grabbed another book without ruminating at all back on the story or the characters in it.
Good, but should've been better.......2007-03-19
"Bloodwalk" is the first novel of the "Wizards" series of stand-alones I've read, and I can say it's a fairly good one. The events are taking place in seldom-used Border Kingdoms region of Faerun.
Surely, the biggest quality of this book is the writing style of James P. Davis, its author. He really goes into details, and offers us beautiful scenes page after page. He livens things up with those descriptions, for example with accessories on a ranger's armor with a story behind them. Rich, detailed writing. Most of the important characters have detailed histories behind them, and one character, the main protagonist (wouldn't call him a hero) has a very interesting concept. The plot is OK, but rather simple. No unexpected twists in this one. Davis keeps a fitting, dark atmosphere throughout this book.
On the other side, the author does not delve into character motivations. It is one segment of the book which is totally disregarded. I mentioned above that one of the characters, Quin, has a new and refreshing concept behind him. Unfortunately, the author fails to capitalize on that, so it stays only a concept, rather than becoming one of the most interesting characters in the FR. The plot has a similar line to it. The author keeps a veil of mystery around it, and keeps you expecting something special. In the end, you get a really simple, predictable explanation. Otherwise, the battles could've been a little shorter in my opinion.
To sum it up, with a better plot and more space given to character development, this could've, or rather should've, been a really great book. As it is, it's merely a good book. A shame. Check it out, anyway.
Excellence.......2007-02-19
I am an avid reader of Fantasy, and I must say I was very impressed with this novel. I picked this book up after I completed Terry Goodkind's most recent volume in his Sword of Truth series. I felt like I was reading the words of a seasoned professional, and was shocked when I went back to the bookstore to find this was his first novel. Now of course I must wait for him to release something else.
About the book:
I found the protagonist, Quin to be very deep. The author has created an excellent veil of mystery about this character that keeps you asking for more. The fight scenes were creative, and imagery is very vivid and crisp. You truly feel immersed when following Quin's journey. This character has the potential to be the next Rand ( from Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time) or Richard ( from Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth ). I would like to see a series devoted to this character, part of the series digging into his past. It is his past that I find most interesting.
The antagonist is also very creative, I had never encountered a villain quite like Morgynn. The mix of power and terror she exudes is impressive. I loved the side stories and history that wrapped together to form a jaw dropping conclusion. Through out the novel I kept thinking someone has got to kill her off now, but the plot twists keep you wondering until the very end.
What really impressed me about this novel was that I was able to read it cover to cover, and never feel bored. Admittedly I have felt bored by many Fantasy writers in the past, so many build such a great setting that they forget to include any action except for the end. Mr. Davis distributes the action from the prologue to the epilogue while still building a rich plot with vivid setting and deep characters.
Five stars from me, I recommend everyone that enjoys Fantasy and Action to read this novel.
