<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A book by a MHS graduate now teaching
history at the U of Tennessee, Chattanooga, Tony Steinhoff:
<STRONG>The Gods of the City, Protestantism and Religious Culture in Strasbourg,
1870-1914. </STRONG> I've just barely gotten into it, but so far
it's an interesting book which makes a point that despite the secular movement
in Europe in the 19th and 20th Centuries, religion played a significant role in
the formulation of state policy even as church attendance dropped. There's
much more to it than that, but I've just begun.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, one I just finished, and would recommend to
anyone interested in Hawaiian culture, jazz, or the WWII "comfort women"
imprisoned by Japan, Kiana Davenport's <STRONG>Song of the Exile</STRONG> is, I
will venture to claim, the best novel I will read all summer. Alice Walker
says, "You can't read Kiana Davenport without being transformed."</FONT></DIV>
