Mexico, an escape route, inspiration, and ecstatic terminus of the celebrated novel On the Road, was crucial to Jack Kerouac's creative development. In this dramatic and highly compelling account, Jorge Garci?a-Robles, leading authority on the Beats in Mexico, re-creates both the actual events and the literary imaginings of Kerouac in what became the writer's revelatory terrain. Providing Kerouac an immediate spiritual freshness that contrasted with the staid society of the United States, Mexico was perhaps the single most important country in his life. Sourcing material from the Beat author's vast output and revealing correspondence, Garci?a-Robles vividly describes the milieu and people that influenced him while sojourning there and the circumstances between his myriad arrivals and departures. From the writer's initial euphoria upon encountering Mexico and its fascinating tableau of humanity to his tortured relationship with a Mexican prostitute who inspired his novella Tristessa, this volume chronicles Kerouac's often illusory view of the country while realistically detailing the incidents and individuals that found their way into his poetry and prose. In juxtaposing Kerouac's idyllic image of Mexico with his actual experiences of being extorted, assaulted, and harassed, Garci?a-Robles offers the essential Mexican perspective. Finding there the spiritual nourishment he was starved for in the United States, Kerouac held fast to his idealized notion of the country, even as the stories he recounts were as much literary as real."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aAuthors, American$y20th century$vBiography 606 $aAmericans$zMexico$vBiography 606 $aBeat generation$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAuthors, American 615 0$aAmericans 615 0$aBeat generation 676 $a813/.54 676 $aB 700 $aGarci?a-Robles$b Jorge$f1956-$01032326 702 $aSchechter$b Daniel C. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460257003321 996 $aAt the end of the road$92450628 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05190nam 22007095 450 001 9910416089103321 005 20250610110432.0 010 $a9783030454357 010 $a3030454355 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-45435-7 035 $a(CKB)4100000011392428 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6313443 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-45435-7 035 $a(Perlego)3481632 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC29091059 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000011392428 100 $a20200819d2020 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAmerican Creationism, Creation Science, and Intelligent Design in the Evangelical Market /$fby Benjamin L.

Conclusion. 330 $a'In this compelling and thoroughly researched book, Benjamin Huskinson demonstrates that just as there is broad diversity within evangelicalism, so too there is broad diversity among "creationists." His work on the Intelligent Design movement is superb, and he prompts me to rethink my long held conviction that Intelligent Design is merely the most recent evolutionary form of creationism. This is a very fine book.' -Randall Balmer, Author of Evangelicalism in America and writer-host of "In the Beginning": The Creationist Controversy 'Benjamin Huskinson's study of American creationism will be an eye-opener for those who sit on the opposite side of the evolution debate. He shows that far from being a unified assault on Darwinism, the campaign was actually a sequence of separate movements launched by rival evangelical groups competing for influence within their own community.' -Peter Bowler, Author of Monkey Trials and Gorilla Sermons: Evolution and Christianity from Darwin to Intelligent Design 'A thoughtful and careful analysis that throws as much light on the diversity of American evangelicalism as it does on Christian attitudes to evolutionary theory. Huskinson offers a smart analysis of religious anti-evolution movements which neither demonises nor ridicules but seeks to understand the tenets and beliefs of a movement far more complex and multivalent than most of us appreciate. A must-read for science communicators.' -Philippa Levine, Walter Prescott Webb Chair in History and Ideas, University of Texas at Austin, USA This book explores the cultural history of anti-evolution efforts in the United States from 1960 to the present, refuting several popular narratives about creation science in evangelical America. Separating theological terms like "creationism" from cultural movements such as "creation science" and "intelligent design" in an evangelical marketplace of ideas, it contests assumptions that evangelical movements against evolution are homogeneous, and it argues that intelligent design is not an off-shoot of the creation-science movement. It demonstrates that the rationale of creationist groups is relational as well as ideological, showing that the social function of American creationism, which is to establish the boundaries of 'orthodox' religion, is key to understanding the competing strategies of creation-science organisations. Benjamin Huskinson finished his PhD at Queen's University Belfast, UK. An historian of science and religion, he has also been a guest commentator for BBC Radio on various issues relating to American political behaviour, and a contributing writer to several publications. . 410 0$aChristianities in the Trans-Atlantic World,$x2634-5846 606 $aUnited States$xHistory 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aReligion$xHistory 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aSocial history 606 $aUS History 606 $aModern History 606 $aHistory of Religion 606 $aCultural History 606 $aSocial History 615 0$aUnited States$xHistory. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aReligion$xHistory. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 14$aUS History. 615 24$aModern History. 615 24$aHistory of Religion. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aSocial History. 676 $a231.7652 676 $a231.76520973 700 $aHuskinson$b Benjamin L.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0990130 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910416089103321 996 $aAmerican Creationism, Creation Science, and Intelligent Design in the Evangelical Market$92264756 997 $aUNINA
