submerged passed in the united states and of the path that we thought we had that was passed, but as william faulkner said, the past isn't even the past. they took over the labor party and declared at the time that israel was becoming like alabama in the 1930's and he urged the president to speak up against the racism. perez said nothing who has been awarded the congressional medal of honor by barack obama. we see finish 48 in the party. it is a pro settler religious party that is the third largest party in israel. they recently endorsed a decision by the national civil service administration banning the jewish, a religious jewish women from volunteering in hospitals after 9 p.m. from the fear that they would date arab doctors and i find that unusual, this decision unusual because i've been found it's good to date doctors.

kind one" was not a reading he did on slavery and united states states are in his studies of william faulknerom freedom in indiana across the ohio river, slavery in kentucky. the novel has often been called faulknerian with its multiple narrators and it's physical and metaphysical shifts, shifts of time and place. but in fact hunt pinpoints the start of this thinking for this novel and a course he took on the history of the caribbean slave. and the haitian revolution. two worlds set in the caribbean in which slavery was even more brutal and in which human beings were seen as much more disposable than here in the united states. and that of the haitian revolution in which african slaves and their descendents successfully overthrew their tyrannical masters. the first time in human history. the first time in human history that slaves overthrew their masters and set up an independent in their case republic. these two worlds were translated by hounds rich imagination and to what the atlanta journal constitution calls and i quote, a haunting meditation on the crushing legacy of slavery in the americ

in terms of the diversity of american literature, you have people like william faulkner or mark twain who put certain regions of the united states on the literary map. that's what ella higginson did for the pacific northwest you're the only way people knew about the pacific northwest at the time was through her writing. as long as the writing isn't recovered, a crucial piece of the diversity of american literature remains missing. so i think it's important in terms of state pride, i think it's important that people remember ella higginson. but in terms of national pride when you're talking american literature, you want the whole country represented. because if you don't have a whole country represented, you can make the mistake of thinking american literature is one monolithic voice. that's not what it is about. we want all the literary voices involved. so it is still a real pleasure to read ella higginson's work today because suddenly you see this remote frontier location come to life in this very dramatic way. >> on our recent visit to boeing in washington, booktv stop at village bo
