Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The history of rubber production is charged with social injustice and rapacity. Rubber companies, including those in Akron, got their raw material from plantations in Vietnam, Sumatra, the Philippines and Brazil. Gregg Mitman, a professor of history, medical history and environmental studies at University of Wisconsin-Madison, narrows his research to one company and one country in \u201cEmpire of Rubber: Firestone\u2019s Scramble for Land and Power in Liberia.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his preface, Mitman says he was not able to use the Firestone archives for research. He makes up for it with an overview of Harvey Firestone and his establishment in Akron, and his friendship with Henry Ford and Thomas Edison. Mitman then turns to a history of Liberia and its founding by the American Colonization Society as a settlement for Black Americans.The project was endorsed by activist W.E.B. Du Bois, who saw it as an opportunity for self-rule and organization and challenged an elite group of educated, prominent Black men to go to Liberia and \u201clift it up as a nation.\u201d In 1925 Firestone purchased a million acres of land with a loan of $5 million. The company began clearing the land of trees, including one that was considered sacred by indigenous people. Smallpox and yellow fever cases rose.\u2018Sideman\u2019 set in Columbus dive bars of 1980s<\/p>\n

The dive bars of Columbus in the early 1980s are the setting for \u201cSideman,\u201d a semiautobiographical debut novella by Jeff Beitzel of Dover. Beitzel is here represented by Jack Bradley, who plays bass wherever anyone will pay him to do it.<\/p>\n

There is no real plot; the episodic narrative finds Jack first playing with a heroin-addicted kleptomaniac guitarist, then with a hipster harmonica player. Jack lives with a dubious collection of housemates in a place called Little Bohemia, where he brings women and takes hallucinogenic mushrooms. The sex is explicit and the language more so.<\/p>\n

Jack meets real-life musicians Jaco Pastorius, Adrian Belew and Lonnie Mack, with pointed comments on their career trajectories and personal issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cSideman\u201d (82 pages, softcover) costs $7.95 from online retailers.\u2018In Review: The Eclectic Works of the Write Stuff Authors Group\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Review: The Eclectic Works of the Write Stuff Authors Group\u201d is a compilation of prose and poetry from the Canton-based project which began in 2017, according to founder and leader Don Ake.<\/p>\n

Among the fiction standouts are \u201cUntimely Vanishing\u201d by Timothy Schen of Massillon, in which a faded magician\u2019s trick works all too well, and \u201cAnon\u201d by Jeffrey Paolano, not listed in the table of contents, in which a spirited resident plans to escape his assisted living facility.In nonfiction, \u201cYou Are the Current Resident (and Other Observations),\u201d an essay by the pseudonymous \u201cJoe Carrier,\u201d vents about postal patrons who insist on returning junk mail, dodging certified letters or answering the door in the altogether.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Write Stuff\u201d (290 pages, softcover) costs $11.99 from online retailers. A previous book, \u201cIn Context,\u201d was released in 2019 and costs $9.99.<\/p>\n
