Chinese Author Jisheng's TOMBSTONE a Grim Reminder of Dangers of Authoritarian Leadership
Yang Jisheng's Tombstone, the Great Chinese Famine 1958-1962, is not the kind of book I could rate based on nothing more than how much I did or did not like it. The subject matter is much too deep for that and the dangers the author endured to write this phenomenal work far too real.
Jisheng's account as presented to us in the English-language edition of Tombstone is a single-volume 629-page condensed version of the original Chinese-language 1,200-page 2-volume set first published in Hong Kong a decade ago. There's no need to question what may or may not have been lost in translation because Jisheng provided so much fact-based data with which to work in the original publication.
Moreover, Tombstone is much more than just a triumph of historical writing. It represents in many ways the triumph of a movement to shed light on "the worst famine in human history." As an integral part of that movement: "Yang got people who experienced the famine to describe it in their own words. He found local journalists who'd witnessed and reported on murders and starvation and got them to write their memoirs. He located and interviewed local implementers of the fatal policies. He got surviving resisters to recount their experiences" (pp. X-XI).
Magnitude of the Horror
It took a while for me to adjust my brain to magnitude of the fact that the horror described actually occurred less than 70 years ago. In that hellish avoidable atrocity an estimated 30 to 45 million people died within a four-year period basically because of authoritarian arrogance and a total disregard for the freedom of individuals. Yet my shocked incredulity as a reader is nothing compared to the painful awakening Jisheng experienced as a member of the Communist Youth League proudly committed to promoting the policies of Mao Zedong's "Great Leap Forward" initiative only to discover those very policies in 1959 caused his father's death.
Ironically, it was while working in the late 1960s as an official journalist that he learned "how 'news' was manufactured, and how news organs served as the mouthpiece of political power." (Very different dynamics from what U.S. President Donald Trump's so often proclaims as "fake news.") However, it was not until the late 1970s that the awful deadly scope of the great famine became apparent:
"Now we knew that it was a man-made disaster that had caused tens of millions of people to starve to death... In my effort to shake off deception, I came to understand the social background of my father's death and to reflect more profoundly on his life..." (pp. 11-12).
That "deception" has remained hard for a lot of Chinese to shake off in part because of many official's refusal to acknowledge the famine for what it was and insist on referring to it in such euphemistic terms as "the three years of natural disaster," or "the years of difficulties." Another seems to be to avoid the appearance of discrediting the legacy of People's Republic of China founder Zedong.
Double Objectives
Tombstone is not easy reading by any means. Where Jisheng narrates the actions leading up to the abuses of power, and fear of the same, which led up to the famine, he is straightforward and factually dense. That is a quality hardcore historians relish but average readers might find less entertaining. And in a way that is the point.
Jisheng's objective as a journalist is to share awareness of an event which it would seem impossible for the entire world not to know about already, but which it appears relatively few actually do. As a human being and the son of foster-parents who gave all they had to raise him and support his education goals, he is determined to honor those parents and the dozens of millions who lost their lives to the famine. Therefore, the title selected for the book: "A tombstone is a memory made concrete." (p. 3)
The result his investigative labors is indispensible documentation of officials' motives for allowing the tragedy to occur; and, how many hypocritically gorged themselves on the good life while entire villages literally starved to death. Yet such documentation is balanced with reports difficult to read for a very different reason. In short, Jisheng does not censor the stories of people describing acts of cannibalism which they either witnessed or committed themselves.
We learn about: people in villages who wait for strangers to come along so they can kill and eat them, an adolescent sister who kills and eats her younger brother after their parents have died, people who wait a few hours after funerals so they can dig up corpses and consume them. These and other actions seem too extreme to believe they really occurred in a civilized nation. But we are aware now that they did. Some people even describe which parts of the human body they found most delectable.
If you're a fan of the movie Bone Tomahawk, starring Kurt Russell, Lili Simmons, and Patrick Wilson, and you did not flinch watching the scene where "Troglodytes" split a man in half to eat him, then the above accounts of cannibalism might not bother you too much. Anyone who did flinch, throw up, scream, or faint, can empathize to some meaningful degree with those who survived the horror of the Great Famine and with Jisheng's determination to tell their collective story.
The Record of This Particular Memory
The importance of the history provided in Tombstone is evident enough in its own right, or at least it should be. "Human memory," the author tells us, "is the ladder on which a country and a people advance. We must remember not only the good things, but also the bad; the bright spots, but also the darkness" (p. 3).
The record of this particular memory is a significant indicator of the dangers that can befall populations which opt for authoritarian rule by a single individual, or small group of individuals, versus government by a robust engaged citizenry exercising some form of democracy. Even more than pitting one political ideology against another, it is about accepting some share of communal responsibility that automatically comes with living in any society hoping to make great strides forward, or just to maintain for its citizens peace, security, and decently-stocked refrigerators.

American Dream Meets Black Reality in Johnson's 'From "N Word" to Mr. Mayor'
To fully appreciate reading former Savannah mayor Otis S. Johnson's From 'N Word' to Mr. Mayor, Experiencing the American Dream, you might want to note some important clues he shares at the book's beginning. The first is his identification of himself as a "scholar activist." Take that for exactly what it sounds like: he has long been devoted to the cultivation of knowledge within himself and others, as well as to the reversal of heinous social and political injustices.
A second shared hint is his struggle over whether to spell out the word "nigger" in this book's title or employ the more politically-accepted abbreviation. Following his publisher's suggestion, he chose the latter but felt the original more "symbolic of my struggle as a black male in American society." With that in mind, the book in general, he states, "documents my struggle to achieve the American Dream while having to confront the vicissitudes of being black in a racist society" (p. 11)
A Timeline of Powerful History
From 'N Word' to Mr. Mayor, Experiencing the American Dream autobiography by Dr. Otis S. Johnson.
The above words may sound, to some, like little more than sensationalistic jargon employed to grab attention. It would be more accurate to describe them as precise when considering Johnson was born in 1942 and, from the beginning until the present era, his experience of the American dream has unfolded along a timeline of powerful history-shaping events on personal, national, and international levels.
For its precisely-balanced combination of social history and personal memoir, Johnson's book under any title is one of the most valuable written in recent years by an African-American man, and one of the most important for any time by a native of Savannah, Georgia. Being the former dean of Savannah State University's College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, and current Scholar in Residence and Professor Emeritus that he is, Dr. Johnson's text often reflects the language of his intellectual leanings. That allows him to place his life and his times within an analytical context similar to important works by some of his scholarly heroes, like Harlem Renaissance strategist W.E.B. Du Bois and political scientist Hanes Walton Jr.
Yet, at the same time, he is a very down-to-earth writer who engages readers with stories of his family's Gullah culture heritage, what it meant to lose his father at an early age, learning about racism for the first time, falling in love and getting his heart broken, discovering the world as a young sailor, and confronting the challenges of leadership within a demographically-evolving community.
Anti-racism Activism
The city of Savannah and the state of Georgia as Johnson experienced them while growing into maturity during the 1960s were much like America at that time as a whole. African Americans with many White Americans alongside them were calling for an end to Jim Crow apartheid and battling against the system by staging public sit-ins, conducting protest marches, and targeting racial barriers ripe for breaking.
Of his position in this history, Johnson writes, "My life has been full of being in places where I shocked non-blacks with my presence" (p. 88). One such place was on the campus of Armstrong State College (now Atlantic University) where in 1963 he famously became the first African American to enroll in the school. Another was the campus of the University of Georgia, Athens, where he was the first Black from Savannah to attend that institution. At UGA, he walked out of one class after a white professor discussing the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark Brown vs. Board of Education decision proclaimed the only reason African-Americans wanted to integrate schools in Georgia was to marry white women.
Most of the kind of anti-racism activism Johnson chronicles is to be expected given the time-frame. In his chronicling, however, he provides important snapshots of black leaders in Savannah, like Wesley Wallace "W.W." Law and Hosea Williams, in political action. But his reportage goes beyond the dynamics of blackness clashing with whiteness.
Through his account of how segregation laws prevented Whites from attending the historically black Savannah State College, founded some 45 years prior to the establishment of Armstrong (as a junior college) in 1935, he demonstrates how racism has caused grievous injury on both sides of the color line. It has also been extremely absurd when considering that in order for him to become the first African-American to integrate Armstrong in 1963 for sake of racial progress in the name of democracy, he had to switch from Savannah State's senior college program curriculum to Armstrong's junior college curriculum.
Navigating Major Changes
Early in From 'N Word' to Mr. Mayor (2016, Donning Company Publishers) Johnson discusses three types of black leadership attributed to sociologist Daniel C. Thompson (author of Sociology of the Black Experience) and with which many readers of African-American literature are familiar: "...the Uncle Tom...racial diplomat...and race advocate" (p. 48). He places himself closer to the third category but more as a "human rights advocate" who believes the following: "'We are all God's children,' but I live in an institutional and structural racist society. 'Self-preservation is the first law of nature'" (p. 49).
By the time Dr. Johnson took office in 2004 as the sixty-fourth mayor of Savannah, and its second consecutive black mayor (after the late Floyd Adams), the city was well on its way to navigating major changes in its multicultural and economic make-up. His determination to meet that challenge at every level resulted in 2006 in a major heart attack experienced while attending the National Conference of Black Mayors in Memphis, Tennessee. Consequently, he writes, "How I approached the job of being mayor during the period before and the period after my heart attack were two very different periods" (p. 291).
As it pertained to his labors as mayor, Johnson's professed sense of racial "self-preservation" took a back seat to his role as a servant leader committed to advocating "for improving conditions that impact people of all races and classes" (p. 261). In the wake of the Great Recession that would create chaos in American cities during his second term, he worked with city council members to help Savannah avoid the kind of disastrous lay-offs and cancellation of services which occurred in cities like Atlanta and Camden. As he points out:
"In 2011, we were still in the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression. We had to find a way to continue providing all of the services to citizens with about $8 million less than we had in 2010...while the 2011 budget was extremely difficult, it was balanced with minimal impact to our citizens and without an increase in property taxes. That was due to strong leadership, clear priorities, and tough resolve by this council, which chose not to spend wildly when times were good" (p. 325).
Candidates lining up for the 2020 presidential race in America could take a few helpful lessons from this former mayor's playbook. One might be committing to running a campaign based on proven abilities and a strategic comprehensive vision rather than one based on negative personal attacks. In fact, though he won his first election to mayor before former U.S. President Barack H. Obama won his first election to the White House, their campaign styles bore striking similarities. (The president and mayor met when Mr. Obama visited Savannah in 2010.)
At times, From 'N Word' to Mr. Mayor reads a bit too much like a college paper, or lecture, as Johnson parenthetically informs readers where he will continue the thread of a particular subject or on which page he has already discussed it. This is easy enough to overlook, and even smile about, when remembering these pages are coming to us from a master scholar at whose literary feet we are fortunate indeed to sit and learn as much as possible.
Text and Meaning in Dick Gregory's 'Nigger' part 2: Unyielding Commitment

To read part 1 of this article please CLICK HERE. Part 2 begins now:
One measure of Dick Gregory's commitment to eradicating the blight of racial injustice from America's potential democratic paradise was a marked willingness to risk nearly everything he valued in pursuit of it. Prospective employers and audiences alike could easily turn their backs on a comedian specializing in his brand of in-your-face political satire, not to mention "blackball" someone increasingly identified with freedom marchers.
In fact, the political component expressed in the pages of Nigger was not something in which publisher E.P Dutton, according to Gregory, was interested at all. As explained in conversation with the late Dr. Marable Manning (1950-2011, author of the biography Malcolm X, A Life of Reinvention) just before receiving the Hung Tao Choy Mei Leadership Institute's 2006 Paul Robeson "Here I Stand" award, the publisher expected the comic to deliver a manuscript showcasing his ethnic "wit and wisdom" with minimal focus on the racial realities of the time. What they wanted, essentially, was a joke book which left no room for expansions of consciousness.
However, having already received an advance of $200,000 for the proposed work, Gregory opted to partner with white author Robert Lipsyte to produce a book which could simultaneously: 1) help raise people's awareness about the effects of racial disparity in the United States; 2) share humor based on the human condition as he lived it; and 3) inspire participation in the Civil Rights Movement. This unexpected gamble at first stunned both the publisher and the public but ultimately yielded across-the-board rewards for all stakeholders involved.
Partners in the Struggle
Further evidence of the humanitarian's unyielding commitment came early on when he insisted on sharing his battle for civil and human rights with his beloved wife, Lillian. Living with that decision proved difficult more than once. As her husband, for example, struggled to observe principles of nonviolent conflict resolution while policemen in the South spat in his face and white supremacists tossed a grenade into a church where he gathered with other activists, Lillian found herself alone when their infant son, Richard Jr., died.
Sometime later, she took Gregory's place on the front lines of a protest in Selma, Alabama. There, she was arrested and spent a week in jail while pregnant with twins.
Over the years, as their family continued to grow and racial oppression remained a deadly reality, the activist-entertainer made it clear to his children that their personal time and enjoyments as a family would have to come second to the demands of "the movement." It was the same kind of bitter, but possibly unavoidable, pill of historical destiny which the children of other iconic leaders (again, consider King and Malcolm X) had to swallow.
Prophetic Inclinations
People who laughed at Gregory's famously racially-tinged monologues, as well as protesters who marched alongside him at various rallies around the country (through the South, yes, but also in Chicago, Washington, DC, and elsewhere) recognized within his personality characteristics associated with prophets.
That specific aspect of his demeanor is particularly noticeable in chapter seven of Nigger . The section contains a transcript of his response to a startling discovery. Preparing to address activists gathered in a church in Selma to coordinate the registration of Black voters, Gregory observed that the front row of the church had been "filled that night with policemen pretending to be newspaper reporters and taking notes" (p. 200). Rather than becoming dismayed or frightened, he used this development to address the infiltrators directly:
"…What do you think would happen to Christ tonight if He arrived in this town a black man and wanted to register to vote on Monday? What do you think would happen? Would you be there? You would? Then how come you're not out there with these kids, because He said that whatever happens to the least, happens to us all… Let's analyze the situation…" (p. 202).

Getting Stronger
In his determination to help America become as great as he believed it was/is meant to become, Gregory touched so many people's lives at different stages of his own that his voice and influence––like those of athlete Muhammad Ali (1942-2016), author James Baldwin (1924-1987) and Civil Rights icon Rosa Parks (1913-2005) are likely to increase rather than decrease as the 21st century unfolds. In addition, he often pointed out that he was only one of movement's numerous foot-soldiers and, in truth many, like Congressman John Lewis and educator Angela Davis, are still standing strong and lend validity to Gregory's contention as directed to the spirit of his mother:
"Those of us who weren't destroyed got stronger, got calluses on our souls. And now we're ready to change a system, a system where a white man can destroy a black man with a single word. Nigger… When we're through, Momma, there won't be any niggers any more" (p. 209).
Although it appeared America had reached a kind of final goal when former POTUS Barack Obama occupied the White House for eight years, Gregory knew we had not. He nevertheless retained faith in the American people's ability to one day achieve such a goal.Sitting on the sidelines and dreaming or complaining about it could never be enough to make it happen. An accomplishment of that magnitude would require––as demonstrated by his own amazing life example––an unwavering dedication combined with a willingness to make sometimes painful sacrifices, and, a sustained belief that ultimately the benefits of the long hard struggle will come to outweigh all untold anguish endured.
On any given day of the week, the creator of Postered Chromatic Poetics and co-author of Encyclopedia of the Harlem Renaissance, Aberjhani, may be found wearing any number of hats descriptive of multiple pursuits: historian, visual artist, poet, advocate for compassion, novelist, journalist, photographer, and editor. Having recently completed a book of creative nonfiction on his hometown of Savannah, Georgia (USA) he is currently working on a play about the implications of generational legacies as symbolized by efforts to rename the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Bridge.

text:
Skinhead (traduzido do inglês, "cabeça-raspada", ) é uma subcultura originária dos jovens da classe operária no Reino Unido no final dos anos 1960, mais tarde, espalhou-se para o resto do mundo. Chamados desta forma devido ao corte de cabelo, os primeiros skinheads se originaram dos mods britânicos, e foram fortemente influenciados pelos rude boys jamaicanos que imigraram para a Inglaterra nessa época, em termos de moda, música e estilo de vida.

A subcultura skinhead era originalmente baseada nesses elementos, e não na política nem em questões raciais. No final dos anos 1970, entretanto, a raça e a política viraram fatores determinantes, gerando divergências e divisões entre os skinheads. O espectro político dentro da cena skinhead abrange da extrema-direita à extrema-esquerda, apesar de muitos skinheads serem apolíticos.

A moda skinhead apresenta um estilo particular de se vestir (que costuma incluir botas e/ou suspensórios), o culto à virilidade, ao futebol e ao hábito de beber cerveja. A cultura skinhead é também ligada à música, especialmente ska, skinhead reggae e streetpunk/oi!, mas também punk rock e hardcore punk.

Histórico

Início
Derivada da cultura mod, as primeiras manifestações desta cultura ocorreram por volta de 1967, alcançando o seu primeiro auge em 1969. Este período é chamado nostalgicamente pelos próprios skinheads como "espírito de 69" (ou "spirit of 69", termo cunhado na década de 1980 pela gangue Spy Kids). Eram majoritariamente formados por brancos e negros (estes últimos em sua maioria imigrantes jamaicanos) que frequentavam juntos clubes de soul e reggae, andavam em gangues e se vestiam de uma forma muito particular, em especial pelo corte de cabelo muito curto (daí o nome skinhead, que traduz-se grosseiramente como "cabeça pelada").

Os skinheads ganharam notoriedade nos jornais e na cultura popular da época por muitos deles promoverem confrontos nos estádios de futebol (o chamado hooliganismo) e alguns deles participarem de agressões contra imigrantes paquistaneses e asiáticos, influenciados por manchetes xenófobas de jornais sensacionalistas ingleses. No entanto, muitas das gangues xenófobas antiasiáticos detestavam os grupos neonazistas e repudiavam o racismo contra negros, como foi o caso da gangue da década de 1970, Tilbury Skins, fundadora da Liga Antipaquistaneses e, no entanto, um grupo antinazista. Numa entrevista do livro Skinhead Nation, Mick, membro de uma das gangues skinheads Trojan, diz:

Segunda geração
No final da década de 1970, houve uma "segunda geração" skinhead, chamados de bootboys, ou simplesmente skinhead (chamados pela imprensa inglesa da época de "grupos de anfetamina" ou skinheads), decorrente da agitação provocada pela cultura punk e que acabou desencadeando um grande interesse por outros movimentos juvenis do passado, como os mods, teddy boys e skinheads. A geração anterior ("espírito de 69") tinha, como uma de suas características, a ligação com a música jamaicana, principalmente o reggae, o rocksteady e o ska.

Com o surgimento da "revolução musical" do punk rock e sua ética de faça-você-mesmo, muitos skinheads se agregaram ao emergente streetpunk/oi!, que abrange tanto os aspectos musicais quanto culturais. Isso, no entanto, não significou o abandono do reggae e do ska. Nessa mesma época, muitos skinheads tornam-se grandes adeptos do revival do ska chamado Two Tone ("dois tons", em referência às cores preta e branca — simbolizando a união de raças).

Fragmentação
A partir da década de 1980, a constante pressão da mídia sensacionalista inglesa acerca da infiltração do preconceito racial dentro da cultura skinhead (infiltração promovida por uma política deliberada do partido de extrema-direita National Front), somada ao surgimento de um engajamento político dentro desta cultura (tanto à esquerda quanto à direita, além do anarquismo) resultou na fragmentação em vários submovimentos rivais. Desde então, constantemente estes grupos não reconhecem uns aos outros como verdadeiros representantes da cultura skinhead, e é comum que cheguem a se enfrentar fisicamente.

Entre os principais atritos, estão as divergências explícitas, como entre esquerdistas e direitistas, racistas e não racistas, politizados e apolíticos. Mas também há grande hostilidade entre grupos de divergência sutil, como os nazistas, conservadores xenófobos, defensores de uma supremacia racial branca, antissemitas.

Características
A cultura skinhead da década de 1960 era formada maioritariamente por jovens da classe operária britânica. O vestuário skinhead, com botas e suspensórios, reflete em certa medida a indumentária operária da Inglaterra desta época. Existem diversas particularidades culturais e ideológicas que definem diferentes tipos de skinheads: é impossível distinguir, pela avaliação visual, um skinhead de direita, tradicional, SHARP ou RASH.

Grupos de skinheads políticos e apolíticos

Skinhead trojan

Skinhead trojan (também conhecido como skinhead tradicional ou apenas trad skin) é um indivíduo que se identifica com a subcultura skinhead original britânica do final dos anos 1960, quando o ska, rocksteady, reggae e soul eram populares, e havia uma forte ênfase na influência do estilo de vestuário mod. Nomeado de acordo com o nome da gravadora Trojan Records, os skinheads se identificam com a subcultura rude boy jamaicana e com a classe trabalhadora britânica dos mod roots.

Devido à sua apreciação da música tocada por negros, eles tendem a não serem racistas ou a serem mesmo antirracistas, estando associados a grupos como o SHARP (Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice) contrários dos skinheads white powers (uma facção que se desenvolveu no final dos anos 1970, com a ajuda do British National Front (Frente Nacional Britânica, NF). Os skinheads trojan geralmente se vestem num estilo skinhead típico dos anos 1960, que inclui itens como: camisas button-down Ben Sherman, camisas polo Fred Perry, cintas, ternos equipados, pulôveres, blusas sem mangas, jaquetas Harrington e casacos Crombie. O cabelo é geralmente raspado entre 2 e 4 centímetros (curto, mas não careca), em contraste com os cabelos curtos dos punks influenciados pelos Oi! skins dos anos 80.

The Spirit of '69 é a frase usada por skinheads tradicionais para comemorar o que eles identificam como auge da subcultura skinhead de 1969. A frase foi popularizada pelo grupo de skinheads escoceses Glasgow Spy Kids. Seu uso no título do livro que conta a história dos skinheads (Spirit of 69: A Skinhead Bible) levou os skinheads a adotá-la em todo o mundo. O livro foi publicado no início de 1990 pelo autor George Marshall, um skinhead de Glasgow. No documentário Spirit of '69: A Skinhead Bible, Marshall mostra as origens e o desenvolvimento da subcultura skinhead, descrevendo os elementos, tais como música, vestuário e política, na tentativa de refutar muitas percepções populares sobre os skinheads, como a mais comum, que diz que todos eles são racistas.

Durante a primeira metade da década de 1970, o movimento skinhead estava em declínio. É com o nascimento do punk 77 e o declínio da música jamaicana que o skinhead volta à vida, trazendo de volta em voga, no entanto, um culto diferente do original, agora com a nova música classificada como Oi!, uma espécie de punk rock arruaceiro da classe proletária. Enquanto o vestuário adotou os traços do skinhead "trabalhador": botas, suspensórios, camisas xadrez, jaqueta, cabeça raspada e calças jeans. Na década de 1980, alguns skinheads tentaram retornar às antigas raízes do movimento, influenciado pela cultura mod e os rude boys jamaicanos e a maioria sem influências da política, em oposição à nova geração de skinheads que tinham abandonado as raízes dos anos 1960 e apoiado a música punk que ia surgindo, muitas vezes proclamando ativistas políticos. Daí o termo skinheads trojan ser atribuído também para aqueles indivíduos que, posteriormente, preservaram a cultura original, e não apenas ao movimento original sessentista.

Foi precisamente por causa destes ocorridos que nasceu em Nova York, em torno de meados dos anos 1980, a organização SHARP (Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice), com a intenção de restaurar as antigas raízes, identificando-se como apolíticos e reagrupamento de skinheads com diferentes pontos de vista políticos, mas antirracistas, em oposição ao racismo e aos skins neonazistas. A organização foi, mais tarde, também exportada para a Europa, graças a Roddy Moreno, líder do Oppressed.

Esta organização optou por se identificar com o logotipo de capacete troiano, que pertencia à mesma gravadora Trojan Records (selo inglês de música negra que se caracterizou no primeiro movimento skinhead politizado), desejando assim simbolizar a ligação entre a organização e não de idade, as origens político e antirracista dos anos sessenta e parte dos anos setenta. Também por esta razão, eles decidiram mudar o nome "skinhead tradicional" para "skinhead trojan".

Suedehead

Suedehead ou sued foi uma tendência skinhead surgida entre 1970 e 1973. Assim como os suedeheads, havia outros grupos que também tiveram uma curta existência, como os smoothies, os crombie boys, entre outros.

Os suedeheads são outra dessas tendências. Formada por skinheads frequentadores das festas de ska, reggae, rocksteady e northern soul que lotavam as entradas dos clubes e bailes, e como 1969 ainda era recente, havia uma enorme influência do universo mod, tanto no seu lado musical, visual e no seu estilo de vida.

O estilo de vida dos suedeheads tinha um certo sentido revival, mas de maneira bem mais moderna, que ajudou a fundar costumes no meio skinhead. Assim como os mods, eles cultuavam scooters Lambretta e Vespa, gostavam de cultuar a imagem, estavam sempre arrumados, alinhados, com botas e sapatos bem polidos. Também estavam sempre em festas e envolvidos na vida noturna.

Os suedeheads foram responsáveis por popularizar muitas das marcas de roupas conhecidas hoje em dia como marcas tradicionais da cultura skinhead. Enquanto os bootboys saqueavam lojas e usavam roupas como Lonsdale, Warriors e Adidas, os suedeheads usavam camisas polos Fred Perry, Ben Sherman, roupas e acessórios da Merc, sueters sem manga, sobretudo alinhado. Com a popularização do reggae na Inglaterra em 1970, os suedeheads viram um sinal de que sua cultura podia continuar moderna e viva nas festas de ska/reggae.

A gravadora Trojan Records, que foi uma das responsáveis pela difusão e propaganda do reggae na Inglaterra, chegou a lançar, em 1971, um box com 50 músicas em homenagem aos suedeheads londrinos. O box mostra faces do ska/reggae mais moderno, como Lee Perry ("Jungle Lion" e "Black Ipa") e Toots & the Maytals ("Louie Louie").

Redskin

Redskin, no contexto da subcultura skinhead, é um skinhead de esquerda comunista ou socialista. Este movimento surgiu em oposição ao movimento bonehead que estava se desenvolvendo no mesmo período.

O termo é uma combinação da palavra red (uma gíria usada para socialista ou comunista) com a da palavra skin, que é um termo curto usado para skinhead. Os redskins tomam uma posição antifascista e militante (por vezes revolucionários) da classe pró-trabalhadores. A mais bem conhecida organização associada aos redskins é a Red and Anarchist Skinheads (R.A.S.H.). Outros grupos que têm membros redskins incluem a Anti-Fascist Action (AFA), Red Action e a Red Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice (S.H.A.R.P.) (embora não tenham uma ideologia oficial de esquerda). Bandas redskins associadas incluem: The Redskins, Angelic Upstarts, Blaggers I.T.A., Skin Deep, Kortatu, Skalariak, Banda Bassotti, The Burial, Negu Gorriak, Núcleo Terco, Brigada Flores Magon, Inadaptats, Opció k-95, Los Fastidios e The Press . Uma gravadora associada com a subcultura é a Insurgence Records.

Cintas vermelhas e laços às vezes são usados pelos redskins para indicar suas tendências de esquerda, embora, em algumas áreas geográficas, este itens sejam usados para indicar as convicções da extrema-direita. Alguns redskins têm cabelos curtos raspados mais atrás e dos lados, deixando-os mais evidentes no centro da cabeça, por oposição ao tradicional de toda cultura, enquanto os nazi skins costumam raspá-lo totalmente. Este estilo era usado por vários membros redskins, embora fosse mais popular entre os redskins franceses no final dos anos oitenta. O que também era popular entre os redskins franceses foi o hábito de virar as jaquetas do averso, para que o forro laranja de suas jaquetas fossem mostrados e os diferenciassem especialmente durante os confrontos frequentes com os boneheads. Símbolos e slogans  esquerdistas são geralmente usado em adesivos, buttons e camisetas.

R.A.S.H.

R.A.S.H (abreviação de Red and Anarchist Skinheads, em português: skinheads comunistas e anarquistas) são skinheads ligados ao anarquismo ou ao comunismo. Se posicionam abertamente contra o fascismo, o neonazismo e todo tipo de preconceito como o racismo e a homofobia. Alguns membros da RASH fundaram torcidas organizadas como as "Ultras Contra o Racismo" em Portugal, como uma forma de se posicionar contra o racismo e o neonazismo presente nas torcidas organizadas de futebol. Os RASHs fazem campanhas e organização de concertos. Eles também atacam skinheads de extrema-direita (os boneheads) tentando expulsá-los das ruas. Sua luta atinge as principais causas da justiça e da luta global contra o capitalismo.

Foi fundada em Nova York nos Estados Unidos em 1993, e em Montreal e Quebeque em 1994. Apareceu pela primeira vez na França em Le Havre antes de se espalhar para as cidades de Marselha e Bordeaux e no resto do país. A R.A.S.H. é de um grupo relativamente recente do final dos anos 90 de redskins comunistas e skinhead da nova geração influenciados pelo anarquismo. Os skinheads estão comprometidos com a extrema-esquerda, ou mesmo o que os cientistas políticos chamam de ultraesquerda (discurso revolucionário) ou grupos de autônomos, isto é, não vinculados a grandes partidos políticos. O termo "red", que remete para o comunismo, literalmente significa "vermelho" e "redskins" pode parecer em desacordo com o "anarquista".

O anarquismo é, estritamente falando, uma doutrina libertária socialista (baseado no ideal de liberdade), que tende a criar uma sociedade sem um estado ou propriedade privada (veja os escritos de Proudhon, Bakunin, Kropotkin…). O comunismo é outra doutrina socialista, construído principalmente por Karl Marx, que observou uma luta de classes que existe entre a burguesia, por um lado e do proletariado, por outro. Ele defende a tomada do poder pelo Partido Comunista em nome do proletariado, para estabelecer a aquisição por parte do proletariado, o único esquema considerados aptos a realizar as reformas que levariam a uma sociedade ideal, sem um estado ou propriedade privada. Em resumo, podemos dizer que os comunistas e anarquistas tendem para o mesmo ideal, mas estão divididos sobre como chegar lá.

Os RASHs são animados pela convicção de que os skinheads são um movimento juvenil verdadeiramente proletário e internacional. Composição do movimento skinhead é um complemento lógico à política ou sindical. Os RASHs franceses são próximos das seguintes organizações: a CNT' (Confederação Nacional do Trabalho, sindicalista revolucionária), FA (Federação Anarquista), l'UA (União anarquista), l'OCL (Organização Comunista Libertária) e LCR (Liga Comunista Revolucionária, um partido trotskista), SCALP. Outro exemplo é a internacional Anarchist Black Cross (organização anarquista revolucionária) ou Internacional Socialismo (movimento trotskista anglo-saxónico).

F.A.S.H.

F.A.S.H (abreviação de Federación Anarco Skinhead, em português: Federação Anarquista de Skinhead) é uma federação criada pelo Renan Dimachaeri entre o fim de 2002 e início de 2003 em Madrid, na Espanha formada em sua maioria por skinheads e também por pessoas ligadas ao movimento, diferenciando-se da R.A.S.H. e S.H.A.R.P. por possuir membros exclusivamente anarquistas. Teve início através de debates entre skinheads antifascistas e anarco-punks. O intuito era expandi-la para o resto do país e também para outras partes do mundo. Seus objetivos são coletivos e permitem que novos indivíduos forneçam novas ideias. Acreditam que, com sua luta, combateram a manipulação do movimento skinhead feita pela mídia burguesa. A F.A.S.H. Zona Norte, surgiu para organizar e estabelecer vínculos com indivíduos e grupos. Eles têm uma visão comum da vida que é a luta para que skinheads e anarquistas cresçam o mais rapidamente possível, mudando o mundo em que eles vivem  e transformando suas próprias vidas.

S.H.A.R.P

S.H.A.R.P (abreviatura de Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice, em português: skinheads contra o preconceito racial) é uma organização antirracista que não está envolvida com partidos e organizações políticas, formada por skinheads.

Em 1986, um grupo de Minneapolis chamado Skinheads Against Racism (skinheads contra o racismo) deu origem ao projeto Anti-Racist Action (ação antirracista) para congregar skinheads na luta contra o racismo e a xenofobia.

Inspirados na ideia, um grupo de skinheads de Nova Iorque fundou a organização SHARP, organizada em sedes regionais. Embalados pelo hardcore punk americano, tinham mais um sentido de unidade do que de revival da cultura skinhead. Bandas como Iron Cross e Agnostic Front foram influência e consequência de sua formação, inclusive esteticamente. Notou-se também a influência do hardcore punk e a presença de Straight Edges na SHARP, assim dando origem ao skin edge.

Os SHARPs, em seu início nos Estados Unidos, eram patriotas, pregavam a distância da cultura skinhead dos partidos e organizações políticas, fossem elas de direita ou de esquerda, e pregavam uma atitude positivamente antirracista, numa demonstração de coerência, já que, sem o ska e os rude boys jamaicanos, o movimento skinhead jamais teria existido. Estão mais voltados para o lado de seu convívio social no dia a dia, que inclui não somente estereótipos como punk ou skinhead, mas também uma unidade social e urbana. Hoje em dia, no mundo, pode se notar que a SHARP se aproximou da política, além do antirracismo, e podemos perceber grupos seus em manifestações anti-homofobia e atuando ao lado da R.A.S.H.

Essas posições têm o objectivo de diferenciar skinheads não racistas, que sempre foram a maioria, de skinheads racistas (conhecidos como boneheads), evitando, assim, a generalização da cultura skinhead como sendo racista. Outros objectivos são "informar a opinião pública sobre a verdadeira cultura skinhead, desmascarar os impostores boneheads e expulsá-los dos bairros por todos os meios necessários".

Roddy Moreno, vocalista da banda galesa The Oppressed, conheceu a ideia ao visitar Nova Iorque em 1988 divulgando-a e incentivando a criação de secções na Europa.

Devido à posição da SHARP de se distanciar de políticas de esquerda, em 1993 ocorreu uma divisão que deu origem aos RASH (Red and Anarchist Skinheads).

Atualmente, a SHARP é mais uma designação pessoal de uma atitude antirracista. Existem pessoas que se afirmam SHARPs sem serem filiados a uma secção. No Brasil, apesar de não existirem secções reconhecidas, muitos indivíduos se dizem SHARPs. Em Portugal, a SHARP tem uma secção desde 1995.

Carecas

Carecas do Brasil

Surgido no início dos anos 1980, como uma dissidência do movimento punk na zona leste de São Paulo e no ABC paulista. Inicialmente sem nenhuma informação e ligação com a cultura skinhead do final dos anos 1960 e início dos anos 1970, foram influenciados pelo punk oi! que existia na Inglaterra dos anos 1980.

A proposta original era um retorno às origens do movimento punk paulista, aliada à uma ideologia baseada na violência e no vandalismo, no patriotismo, no antiracismo, no antimilitarismo, contra os políticos e seus partidos, contra a polícia, contra a igreja. Com o passar do tempo, foram se desvinculando dessa proposta original e adquiriram um caráter conservador, que levou a se posicionar e promover ações contra esquerdistas, diferentes tribos urbanas (em especial àquelas ligadas ao pensamento de esquerda), preserva os direitos da família contra , drogados, racismo e homossexuais..

As principais gangues e a maioria dos indivíduos são antirracistas, uma vez que defendem a tese de que a identidade e raça original da população brasileira é a miscigenação de todas as raças, mas existem carecas indiferentes ou simpatizantes de ideais nazifascistas e racistas, em especial nas regiões Sul e Sudeste do país, onde há um movimento de independência de caráter muitas vezes branco-separatista.

Atualmente, sua postura ideológica é fundamentada, numa mistura de nacionalismo, homofobia, racismo, anticomunismo, antianarquismo e antidrogas. Sua postura ideológica é confusa e cheia de contradições. Além de bandas do estilo musical punk oi! (não envolvidas com ideologias racistas), ouvem bandas internacionais ligadas à ideologia white power, cujo estilo musical é denominado de RAC (envolvidas em países europeus e norte-americanos com ideologias racistas) e as bandas de carecas brasileiros se autorrotulam dentro desse estilo. Sua postura antidrogados entra em contradição com o problema do alcoolismo dentro do movimento careca.

As gangues paulistas Carecas do Subúrbio e sua dissidência, Carecas do ABC, se tornaram famosas na cultura popular devido a episódios de violência amplamente divulgados pela mídia.

Alguns integrantes dos Carecas do Subúrbio, nas comemorações de 1 de maio de 1988, unidos a membros da extinta Ação Integralista Brasileira e do Movimento Participativo Nacionalista Social, além de mais três entidades políticas de extrema-direita, entraram em confronto com manifestantes da organização sindicalista de esquerda Central Única dos Trabalhadores. Isso gerou divergências dentro do movimento careca na época, pois alguns não queriam a entrada de ideologias associadas a movimentos políticos dentro do movimento careca e nem serem usados como massa de manobra por esses movimentos. Ainda no final dos anos 1980, esse e outros episódios provocaram a fragmentação do movimento careca em várias facções devido a divergências ideológicas.

Agressões no Brasil
No Brasil, já ocorreram confrontos documentados de skinheads envolvendo grupos de punks, homossexuais, negros, moradores de rua, e mesmo com outros neonazistas, ou até mesmo entre os próprios skinheads.

 Em São Paulo
Em 6 de fevereiro de 2000, o adestrador de cães e homossexual Edson Néris da Silva foi espancado até a morte por membros da gangue Carecas do ABC por estar andando de mãos dadas com seu companheiro, Dário Pereira Netto, que conseguiu fugir. A polícia apurou o envolvimento de 18 indivíduos.

Em 7 de dezembro de 2003, os Carecas do ABC se tornaram novamente notícia quando três de seus membros, no caminho de volta de uma reunião da gangue, ameaçaram, com armas brancas, dois adolescentes (Cleiton da Silva Leite, 20 anos, e Flávio Augusto Nascimento Cordeiro, 16 anos, motivados pelas camisetas com estampa de bandas de punk rock), e os forçaram a pularem pela janela do trem em movimento em que estavam, resultando na morte de Cleiton e no amputamento do braço direito de Flávio.

No dia 15 de abril de 2007, na rua Augusta, um grupo de punks matou um skinhead com golpes de barra de ferro na nuca e facadas nas costas.

No dia 4 de setembro de 2011, durante um show de um banda britânica, um street punk também morreu em conflito com boneheads. No mesmo dia, foram registrados confrontos entre punks e skinheads envolvendo aproximadamente 200 pessoas.

 Em Minas Gerais
No dia 3 de setembro de 2011, em Belo Horizonte, uma briga entre punks e Carecas do Brasil deixou duas pessoas feridas por facadas na Praça da Liberdade.

Em 2013, o skinhead Donato di Mauro publicou fotos agredindo um morador de rua na Praça da Savassi. Ele só veio a ser preso duas semanas depois, em Americana, São Paulo.

 No Rio Grande do Sul
No dia 6 de agosto de 2011, em Porto Alegre, uma briga envolvendo punks, skinheads e neonazistas resultou em 8 feridos.

No dia 15 de outubro de 2011, em Porto Alegre, um grupo de pessoas antifascistas entrou em confronto com um grupo White Power no bairro Cidade Baixa, deixando dois skinheads feridos.

Grupos de White Powers  neonazistas

White powers/Boneheads

Skinhead white power (também conhecido como nazi-skin, skin 88, skinhead nazista ou ainda bonehead, que é uma denominação pejorativa utilizada pela maioria dos skinheads não racistas, significando algo como "cabeça dura" ou "parvo" na gíria inglesa) é uma ramificação da cultura skinhead que possui individuos antissemitas da supremacia branca. Muitos deles são filiados com organizações do nacionalismo branco. Eles são conhecidos por seus ataques, especialmente contra imigrantes paquistaneses (paki bashing, o "linchamento de paquistaneses"), contra hippies e contra militantes ativistas de extrema-esquerda (comunistas em particular). A radicalização de alguns skinheads de extrema-direita foi iniciada pelo desvio da banda inglesa Skrewdriver, que, inicialmente, era uma banda de street-punk apolítica. A British National Front foi responsável na transformação de parte do movimento skinhead neonazista nos anos 1970 e 1980.

Hammerskins

Hammerskins (também conhecido como Hammerskin Nation) é um grupo da supremacia branca formado em 1988 em Dallas, no Texas. Os hammerskins, assim como os boneheads, fazem parte dos "skins neonazistas" e têm uma ideologia totalmente contrária à dos demais grupos da subcultura skinhead como os trad skins, os R.A.S.H.s, os S.H.A.R.P.s, os redskins, entre outros subgrupos antifascista.

O foco principal dos hammerskins é a produção e divulgação da música supremacista branca que é mais conhecida como Rock Against Communism. Muitas bandas white powers são afiliadas a eles. Os Hammerskins são afiliados com a gravadora 9% Productions. Eles idealizam aqueles que consideram guerreiros históricos para a raça ariana, como os nazistas. Muitos de seus membros foram condenados por assédio, assaltos e assassinatos de pessoas não brancas.

Os Hammerskins são considerados nos Estados Unidos como o grupo mais conhecido e organizado de skinheads racistas. A luta pelo poder acabou dividindo o grupo em várias facções, algumas das quais estão agora defuntos, mas os membros reorganizaram e fortaleceram a organização. Os Hammerskins também têm torcidas organizadas e a maioria dessas nações são conhecidas como Crew 38. O Hammerskins host several e vários outros concertos anuais, incluindo Hammerfest, um evento anual, tanto nos Estados Unidos como na Europa, renderam homenagem a Hammerskin Joe Rowan, vocalista da banda Nordic Thunder.

O logotipo dos Hammerskins é representados por dois martelos atravessados um no outro, assemelhando-se ao passo de soldados, é baseado em uma organização neonazi fictícia retratada no filme "Pink Floyd The Wall" de 1982. No entanto, o retrato do grupo fictício do filme foi a intenção de mostrar o nazismo negativamente. O logotipo dos Hammerskins e seu lema "Hammerskins Forever, Forever Hammerskins" (HFFH) frequentemente aparecem em seus apetrechos e tatuagens.

Carecas de Portugal
Em Portugal, o termo "Carecas" é empregado também por skinheads patriotas, nacionalistas e conservadores de extrema-direita. O nacionalismo defendido pelos carecas portugueses está profundamente ligado à ideologia da supremacia branca e ao neonazismo, uma vez que estes indivíduos afirmam ser a raça branca a origem e verdadeira identidade portuguesa.

Um caso de violência ligado aos carecas portugueses foi o assassinato de Alcindo Monteiro, em Agosto de 1995, no Bairro Alto, em Lisboa, apenas por ser negro.

Simbologia dos skinheads neonazistas

Música
A subcultura 'skinhead era, originalmente, associada a gêneros de músicas como o soul, ska, rocksteady e reggae. A ligação entre skinheads e a música jamaicana levou ao estilo reggae original ser chamado na Inglaterra de skinhead reggae, termo este utilizado por artistas como Desmond Dekker, Derrick Morgan, Laurel Aitken, Symarip e The Pioneers.

No começo da década de 1970, alguns suedeheads também ouviam bandas britânicas de glam rock como Sweet, Slade e Mott the Hoople.

O estilo de música mais popular entre os skinheads no final da década de 1970 era o 2 Tone, que era uma fusão musical do ska, rocksteady, reggae, pop e punk rock. O gênero 2 Tone recebeu esse nome como referência a uma gravadora em Coventry, na Inglaterra, que trabalhava com bandas como The Specials, Madness e The Selecter, pregando uma atitude antirracista, ja que os dois tons são o preto e o branco.Moskowitz, David V. (2006). Caribbean Popular Music. Westport, Connecticut: Greenwood Press, 270. ISBN 0-313-33158-8

Alguns skinheads dos anos 1970 também gostavam de algumas bandas de street-punk como Sham 69 e Menace e, no fim dos anos 1970, o gênero Oi! foi aceito por muitos punks e skinheads. Musicalmente o Oi! combina elementos do punk rock, cânticos de futebol, pub rock e glam rock britânico. O Oi! não é exclusivamente um gênero musical só para skinheads, pois muitas bandas incluem skins, punks e pessoas que não se encaixam em nenhuma subcultura (algumas vezes chamadas de Herberts).

O Oi! norte-americano começou na década de 1980 com bandas como The Press, Iron Cross, The Bruisers, Anti-Heros and Forced Reality.Dementlieu Punk Archive: Washington, DC: Iron Cross interview from If This Goes On 2 Os skinheads da costa leste norte-americana criaram uma ligação entre a sua sub-cultura e da música hardcore punk com bandas como Warzone, Agnostic Front, Murphy's Law e Cro-Mags. O estilo Oi! também se espalhou para outras partes do mundo, e continua sendo muito popular entre os skinheads. Mais tarde, muitas bandas Oi! combinaram influências do hardcore americano dos anos 1970 com street-punk britânico.

Embora muitos skinheads white powers ouviam Oi!, eles também desenvolveram um gênero separado conhecido como Rock Against Communism (RAC). A banda mais conhecida do cenário RAC foi a Skrewdriver, que começou como uma banda de street-punk apolítica no final dos anos 1970 e, algum tempo depois, encerrou suas atividades, voltando no início dos anos 1980 somente com o vocalista da antiga formação e com novas músicas contendo letras fazendo apologia ao racismo e ao neonazismo.Skrewdriver- Press Cuttings O RAC começou musicalmente semelhante ao Oi! e ao punk rock e adotou alguns elementos do heavy metal e outros gêneros do rock. Outro gênero que também é ligado aos nazi-skins é o hatecore''.

Home Arkansas Football Mike Leach: No. 6 Best Hogs Coach Candidate
Mike Leach: No. 6 Best Hogs Coach Candidate
-Tommy Foltz
This is the second in a series of seven columns counting down the search for a new Hog football coach.
MIKE LEACH:
Last time around, I made the case for Lane Kiffin being no better than seventh-best prospect for the Hogs' coaching vacancy. At number 6, Leach is not much closer to God's Country than Kiffin, but I could tolerate him because he's had a lot of Power 5 success. He he's stuck around programs where he's been the HEAD coach.
AS AN ASSISTANT? NOT SO MUCH:
From 1987 until 1999 he spent 1 year at Cal Poly, 1 year at College of the Desert, 1 year with the Pori Bears (whoever they are), 2 years at Iowa Wesleyan, 4 years at Valdosta State, 2 years at Kentucky and 1 year at Oklahoma.
However, as a head coach he spent 10 seasons at Texas Tech and he's been with Washington State since 2012. In between Tech and WSU he did some media stuff.
The reason he left Texas Tech is because……..well, he was fired.
It's been 10 years, but remember when he mistreated the son of Craig James of ESPN and the SMU Probation Ponies? Adam James suffered a concussion in practice and couldn't practice the next day on doctor's orders.
He made James stand in the equipment room close to where Tech practices. The vision I get here is that he was trying to make James seem like a sissy to the rest of the team for not playing through a concussion, even though doctors advised against it.
Look, I'm the first to say, "You play through the small hurts, but not real injuries." But a concussion is a real, sometimes life-changing injury. It shouldn't be made fun of.
Mike Leach was ordered by the University to apologize to James in writing, but refused and was dismissed. Then, a bunch of lawyers made a lot of money.
He also had a player (Marquess Wilson) quit at Washington State because of "physical, emotional and verbal abuse" from the coaches. Investigations led to a decision that there was "no merit" to the claims. But, there's got to be something there when your ace receiver quits.
CONSISTENTLY INCONSISTENT:
WSU's record since he's been there……
—2012: 3-9
—2015: 9-4 (opening game loss to Portland State)
—2018: 11-2
—2019: 3rd in Pac 12 North with a 6-5 record
You can see a good trend here, until this year, and there's no denying his success at Tech……until he mishandled what we now call "concussion protocol."
There are a few ways to look at "balance" in an offense:
—You can ask, "Are you personally balanced enough to handle both advances in the game and the treatment of a guy who has a concussion?" The jury's out on that one.
—Did you call an equal number of passing plays vs. running plays, which he scoffs at. "I want all of the positions to touch it," Mike Leach said in October. "There's nothing balanced about 50 percent run, 50 percent pass, because that's 50 percent stupid."
Instead, he sees balance like this: "When you have 5 skill players……if all 5 are contributing to the offensive effort in a somewhat equal fashion." That's balance to him, but that pre-supposes that you have 5 skill players who CAN contribute somewhat equally.
Hey, I've never taken Texas Tech, Washington State, or any other college football team to a bowl game and he has, so take this for what it's worth. But, balance to me is about being mentally balanced enough to call the plays that your current personnel can execute and have a good chance of working against the specific defense you're facing. That seems fairly reasonable to me.
Is what I'm saying, and he has, although it's been spotty at times. The 3-9 vs. 11-2 seasons point to a coach who is going to coach the way he coaches regardless of his players' talent or experience. That leads to wins when you have the right players and losses when you don't.
It should also be mentioned that he has a history of using his post-game press conferences to beat down the referees for what he sees as bad calls. This is a big no-no in the SEC. If he's going to come here he's gonna have to change his ways a little bit.
But, unlike Kiffin, he lived in Lubbock for 10 years. If you can take Lubbock for 10 years, you can take Fayetteville for 150.

Australia Delivers The Expected Defeat Upon New Zealand
By Jill Scanlon

BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA - NOVEMBER 09: Mitch Marsh of Australia celebrates the wicket of Brendon McCullum of New Zealand during day five of the First Test match between Australia and New Zealand at The Gabba on November 9, 2015 in Brisbane, Australia. (Photo by Matt Roberts - CA/Cricket Australia/Getty Images)
Australia has defeated New Zealand by 208 runs at the Gabba in Brisbane in the first Test of the three match series.
As expected, Brendon McCullum let his bat do the talking as soon as play got underway reaching his 50 off just 44 balls.
However, on a day when the New Zealand captain undoubtedly had the expectation of a nation squarely on his shoulders, his team mates could not stick with him at the other end and the Kiwis finished their second innings all out for 295 at the end of an extended morning session.
No doubt debate will emerge over the McCullum dismissal, although he said after the match that it was all part of the game and he thought the umpiring had been of a high standard otherwise.
"They're allowed to make the occasional mistake." - McCullum on the match umpires. #AUSvNZ#WWOSpic.twitter.com/zbF4lZU5HZ

"A good game. I think Australia were outstanding. They put us under a lot of pressure (and) we weren't quite able to hit our lengths. Australia certainly deserve this Test match win, but there are a few positives for us to take out of it," he said in a post match interview with the Nine Network.
" We had no excuses in terms of our preparations. We came into this game ready and willing to put up a good show," McCullum added.
This is the McCullum wicket. NZ had no reviews left. Unfortunate. https://t.co/QZ1kL6l7bG#AUSvNZpic.twitter.com/PLlg09xZyD

While Boult and Craig wagged the Kiwi tail slightly adding 46 runs for the final wicket, the earlier loss of four wickets for just sevens runs, in a purple patch by the Australian bowlers, brought about the inevitable result sooner than expected.
For Australia this was a convincing victory by a new team looking to make a statement in the opening Test match of the summer series with both bat and ball.

David Warner was named Man of the Match for his back-to-back centuries and said he was pleased with his performance out of his poor Ashes series mid year.
"Good to put a nice performance on the board and an all-round team effort," he told Channel Nine in the post-match coverage.
The morning's play was action packed as Mitch Marsh found himself bowling for a possible hat-trick at one point and fellow paceman Mitchell Johnson equaled Brett Lee's record as the fourth most prolific wicket taker for Australia with 310 wickets.
The Australian fans may be feeling a small amount of satisfaction for the Rugby World Cup final result as the Trans-Tasman rivalry continues with the series at 1-0 but, in what is a short turnaround for the teams, the second Test will kickoff at the WACA in Perth on Friday where New Zealand will no doubt be aiming to regain some pride.

The first mosque went off at around 5AM with morning prayer echoing around the small town of Moshi. Roosters had already been up for a good while waking me up every now and then.

After my 2AM flight, 1,5h drive from the airport, and a thorough check for bedbugs before hitting the sack, I eventually didn´t get much sleep on my first night in Africa.
I had arrived to Tanzania with a plan that made me shudder if I let myself think too far ahead. The upcoming weeks included 8 days of running around Mt. Kilimanjaro making a 260k loop with more than 10 000m of elevation gain along the way. After the run, I had squeezed in full two days of recovery before heading up for a 8 day climb to the Kilimanjaro´s highest summit, Uhuru Peak, at 5895m.
Sitting at the hotel breakfast table in my sleep deprived state of mind, I was seriously questioning if my body would be up to the task at hand.
Kilimanjaro Stage Run is an annual ultrarunning event organized and led by Simon Mtuy, the current record holder of fastest unassisted ascend and descent of Kilimanjaro (9:21:47). The ten international runners signed up for the fun started showing up at Simon´s Mbahe farm on Kilimanjaro slopes a couple nights before the scheduled start.
During the last 10 minute hike up to farm from the closest road, we were greeted by a bunch of happy locals enjoying their banana beer at sunset – we decided to skip the beer and just take our share of the sunset as the "warm up run" was scheduled to 7AM the next morning.
First morning on the farm I woke up shortly after 6AM to a cold and misty sunrise. After getting out of my warmest down sleeping bag and putting on my warmest set of polartec underwewewar and a down jacket, I stepped outside to enjoy a cup of hot coffee alone in silence waiting for the sun to come up. The African nights at 2000m up the mountain appeared way colder than I had expected.
Our "easy warm up run" at 7AM gave us the first taste of what was to be expected during the next eight days. Finishing a 8k loop with 400m of elevation took us well over an hour and it was all on "reasonably easy village trails". My heart rate was far from moderate on the climbs that our guide Manase seemed to scale with an effortless jog. We kept our game faces on and chattered along the way trying not to look too exhausted.
Last night before taking off was a mixture of shuffling with gear, getting to know each other, and anxiously waiting to finally get running.
Most interesting part of the pre-run day was getting to know the fellow runners. The three women and seven men included professionals importing the smallest of fruits to Finland (us finns apparently like our fruits small, go figure!), schoolteacher planning to name a future dog Bangi (probably not appropriate in Swahili-speaking parts of the world), frenchmen who don´t like bananas but apparently do eat frog legs and escargot (snails) regularly, and an adventure sports specialist heading off to Ladakh (Northern India) for another ultra a week after finishing the trip in Kilimanjaro.
They all looked a lot like runners to me.
Most of the runners – but where´s Coco?
The logistics of the whole thing still keep amazing me. Our support crew included a "camp team" taking care of our tents, luggage, and most importantly food, and a "guide team" leading us through the route.
After each day on the trail we eventually arrived to a ready-made tented camp with all the services a tired runner could imagine. Our luggage was waiting for us inside each tent, and hot water was being prepared for washing our dusty feet. Mess tent was already stocked with hot drinks and popcorn, and delicious aromas of dinner being prepared were floating from the kitchen tent.
Our journey started from Marangu gate, the starting place for summit climbers using the Marangu route. After finally understanding the fact that we weren´t heading up the mountain in our skimpy running gear, a local guy by the gate proposed to meet me in this very same spot after eight days to get my used running shoes. Eventually, he did actually show up, but the topic of running shoes never came up in our brief discussion. Considering the state (and smell) of my gear at the time, I wasn´t really surprised.
Day 1 started with easy running led by one of the local guides, Manase, who had all four previous editions of Kilimanjaro Stage Run under his belt. During the first hours he had real challenges holding us down behind him. After all the waiting, tapering and rest we all were more than ready to finally get running our "own natural pace" and his way of holding us back felt frustrating.
But having done Kilimanjaro Stage Run four times before, Manase knew better – there was a long journey ahead of us, and once we hit the first valleys his pace started to feel quite comfortable to all of us.
Getting through the first day took us close to 9 hours involving a number of steep valleys, crossing rivers, and accumulating 2000m of elevation along the way. When crossing the last valley before arriving to camp I wasn´t sure whether it was more difficult going up or down as all my leg muscles were totally tired out. The idea of seven more days like this was too distant to comprehend so I focused my thoughts on getting to my tent for the next night.
As we eventually arrived to our first campsite we were greeted by dozens of curious children who were happy to find a mzungu (white people) camp pitched up on their schoolyard. The happiness of reaching the camp combined to the reactions of the children when the runners started arriving momentarily erased the complete exhaustion I had been experiencing a moment earlier and I found myself actually running around the camp with a camera trying to get contact with the children around us.
When darkness fell at around 7PM we retreated to mess tent for much awaited dinner and the children started reluctantly heading towards their homes. Less than an hour later I was back in my tent and fell asleep pretty much immediately listening to the sound of rain drumming on my canvas roof.
The rainy night was followed by a beautiful sunny morning and to my delight my tent had been leaking on the opposite side from where I was sleeping so my gear had stayed somewhat dry through the night. The children were back at their mzungu viewing positions by 6:30 – guess white men don´t camp here that often.
While we were enjoying our breakfast in the sunrise the teachers started the morning routines of their regular school day. Children were lined up outside the classrooms and the national anthem was sung loudly while the naughty ones facing the wall received some proper whacks on their butts from the teacher with an impressive stick for the job. It was already getting warm so we expected a hot day ahead of us.
Day 2 became known as the day of "no valleys".
"No valley" is a thing that pretty much looks like valley to a less experienced eye. It typically has a very steep downhill, a river at the bottom, and an equally steep uphill on the other side. The only thing differentiating it from a valley is the fact that it´s not recognized as one by the guide crew based on the assumption that Simon would be able to run through it without slowing down to hike at any given time.
Eventually, the numerous "non valleys" in the beginning were covered and we entered farmlands. It was a welcome change to the jungle and rainforests we had been scrambling through on the previous day. We started passing farmers carrying huge loads of stuff on their heads and kids playing in the fields.
It was refreshing to be able to run properly on the somewhat even ground and easier trail. However, it soon turned out there was also a downside to it, namely dust.
The soil on the fields is very dry and running caused a constant cloud of very fine dust surrounding us and getting to every place one can imagine (yup, there too). When we finally arrived to camp 2 we were all covered in black and ready to use the one working shower available at the climbing hut. Getting clean was probably more uncomfortable than the whole 5h run as warm water was available only for the lucky 1st ones.
Start running at 8ish, meet up with our "most wanted man" Joseph (with car and water) 2-3 times through the day, and arrive at the camp anywhere between 2PM (still warm enough for washing and ample time for recovery) and 6:30PM (already dark and cold, quick dinner and bed).
Day 3 followed the Kenyan border. It was another hot and sunny day and we still got to enjoy the pleasures of dust.
It was a day of fast running. The elevation gain for the day was less than 1k for the first time on the whole trip and we were mostly running on easy trails and dirt roads.
The most interesting part of the day was passing through a number of Maasai settlements built on the "no man´s land" between Tanzania and Kenya.
The locals seemed to be equally curious of our group of runners as we were in getting a glimpse on their daily lives. Each village crossing consisted of a number of happy shouts of jambo!, curious kids, animals, and in some cases resulted in a dog following us for the next couple of miles.
At times, we needed to stop for a short break due to African wildlife blocking the trail. Luckily, the brave locals were happy to assist in clearing the way and these encounters rarely caused any casualties.
We also witnessed the first signs of big game (giraffe poop) when passing through a short stretch of savannah and learned from Simon that drinking and savannah running don´t mix due to the stingy bushes around.
When approaching camp 3 we noticed two French runners slowly pulling ahead and soon they vanished from our sight. Morally, this was devastating until our resourceful guide Manase tipped us on a shortcut.
Once the French were safely out of sight, we sneaked towards the shortcut and saw our next camp across a field ahead of us. Our plan seemed to work perfectly until we came out in the open and the French spotted us from the other side of the field. That´s when the sprinting begun.
Sprinting pretty much all out after 3 days (with 17 hours) of running wasn´t actually part of my plan – especially as I knew there was still 5 more days and 160k to go – but that´s exactly what happened.
Us and the French approached the camp from two different sides speeding up as fast as we could with our tired feet. Finally, we reached the spot where the trails crossed, pretty much at the same time (Simon beating us others by seconds) and leaned on our legs trying to catch some breath.
Don´t know about the others, but I paid for this short sprint on day 4, as for me it was the most difficult day of the whole run.
Camp 3 tents were pitched right outside a school of 500 children and when we arrived the classes were still on. Teachers were having a hard time keeping the children in control when we walked by the windows full of smiling faces waving at us.
When the schoolday eventually ended, we got a curious audience watching us wash up and get ready for dinner.
Of all the eight days of running, I remember day 4 being the most difficult for me. The sprint finish on day 3 totally messed up my legs and running was difficult (and painful) through the day. Knowing the following day 5 would be our longest one didn´t really help in building my confidence.
Through day 4 I was seriously doubting if I could finish the run. Then we arrived to Simba farm which saved my life!
To sum it up – a proper warm shower, good big dinner, bottle of Kilimanjaro beer and the first night in proper bed for days – come day 5 and my legs had magically recovered!
In all honesty, my legs didn´t really feel fresh at the start of day 5, but they didn´t feel worse than they did the previous morning either.
My newfound confidence on recovery turned out to be short lived. When arriving to the next camp 7,5h later my legs were looking worse than ever. Knees were seriously swollen and it was difficult to get back up after sitting down. But I had been able to run through the day and with only 3 days to go I was starting to smell the finish line.
On day 6 I found the state of my legs pretty much stabilized – through the day they didn´t feel any worse than they did in the morning so I figured the remaining days might actually be doable! Sleeping did require a significant dose of Ibuprofen though.
Regardless of what it said on the brochure, day 6 turned out to be the longest one. We spent close to 9,5h on the trail and ended up finishing at the dusk in the light of our head torches. We missed at least one fueling stop and most of us had been running on empty for hours when we finally reached the camp.
Surprisingly enough, I started gaining strength on day 7. Legs were still sore and swollen, but once I started running the going felt relatively good and effortless.
We were getting close to the finish. Therefore, when the idea of a "small race to the next camp" was brought up, I wasn´t completely against it, even though the memories of my struggles on day 4 were still fresh.
After a bit of faster running, a group of 3 pulled away on an uphill and I realized I didn´t have the legs to keep up with them. We eased the pace up a bit with a fellow runner with similar thoughts, and eventually, even stopped for a chat with a villager curious to hear what we were up to.
When we finally arrived to the camp, we were surprised to see there were no other runners around. It appeared, the 1st group had managed to miss the last crossroads leading to the camp, and were now being chased by our guide sprinting downhill after them. They arrived to the camp half an hour later having run all the way down the valley before realizing they were lost and climbing back up to the camp.
On our last morning Kilimanjaro offered some of its best and while were having breakfast with clear views to the peak. It was hard to imagine we were about to get back to Marangu gate where we started the run eight days ago and then – suddenly no more running!
It was a short day with only a bit more than 20k to cover (with a couple of proper valleys to cross though) and we took our time to soak in the morning before heading on the trail.
During the first half we split to a couple of groups, but for the last part we decided to gather up for finishing together. All went as planned until two runners missed a turn again and the guides shoot off to different directions on a lookout. Half an hour later, the missing runners were found taking selfies with kids at a local school, and our running resumed.
"What if something goes wrong now" crossed through my mind a couple of times during the last 10k. Having run the whole 260k trail all the way here (we got 10k extra with no cost added) seemed like a monstrous effort and being this close to finish line made me carefully watch my step for avoiding any possible injuries.
Suddenly, the trail started feeling familiar – "I´ve passed through here before". I spotted the Mbahe farm somewhere on the right – the gate was getting really close!
A couple more turns and I saw the familiar wooden houses surrounding the gate – this is it!
People started cheering and my mind was filled with a mix of emotions. Someone was broadcasting live to Facebook – I can´t start crying now!
It took me a good while to pull myself together. All the doubts and worries I had along the way had proved wrong and I was finally done with it! It took me days to process what had actually happened.
Tanzania trail running is not what you think – it´s better! Says so on the T-Shirt!

Knock At The Cabin Reactions
Another Original Scream Star Wants To Join Scream 5
By Corey Chichizola
Over the past few years, the horror genre has been in an exciting renaissance. Plenty of exciting projects have hit theaters recently, resulting in critical and box office success. But horror has always been rooted in its long running franchises, leading to the recent revival of projects like Halloween and Child's Play. It was recently revealed that Ready or Not directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett are working on a Scream 5 movie, with Neve Campbell in talks to return as Sidney Prescott. But now it looks like one of her original Scream co-stars wants in on the sequel as well.
Wes Craven brought new life to slashers with his first Scream movie, which was a massive hit when it arrived in theaters in 1996. Craven also assembled a stellar cast of actors, including Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, and Drew Barrymore. Actor Matthew Lillard iconically co-starred as Stu, who turned out to be one of the movie's killers. And despite Stu's death, Lillard still is eager to return to the franchise for Scream 5 if he could. When asked if he'd like to appear in the developing sequel, he said:
Yes, yes, I'm available, yes, yes! There's nobody that wouldn't want to come back and reprise a role they got to do when they were a boy and be able to do something different as a man would be exciting. You just don't get that opportunity often.
While Stu has been dead for decades, it looks like Matthew Lillard would still love to somehow join the cast of Scream 5. And he's not the only original cast member vying for a role, regardless of wether or not it makes logical sense. We'll just have to wait and see how the movie continues to come together, and how negotiations with its stars pan out.
Matthew Lillard's performance in Scream is iconic, as the young actor put his signature high energy into crafting the character of Stu. He's a consistent source of comedy throughout the iconic slasher, and he gets to go totally unhinged in the movie's third act. But Sidney Prescott ultimately gets the upper hand and kills him with a television. But hey, he was no Sharon Stone.
Another OG Scream star has also been campaigning for a chance to return, despite his character's death. Jamie Kennedy's Randy died back in Scream 2, although he got another appearance in Scream 3 thanks to a video goodbye he'd recorded prior to being murdered. But Kennedy would also love to return to the beloved franchise.
Later in his conversation with Too Fab, Matthew Lillard explained why the Scream franchise continues to resonate with movie audiences, as he put it,
I'm not surprised people still love to follow the journey of Sidney Prescott. I think that Neve was so endearing when she was young and people love that story and root for her and it's kind of a really interesting ability to continue to tell a movie story over almost 3 generations. Three decades.
He's not wrong. Neve Campbell's Sidney Prescott is one of the most iconic scream queens of all time, right up there with Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie Strode. The character's ability to adapt and survive makes for great storytelling, especially with Campbell in the role. Although audiences are also invested in Gale and Dewey, played by Courteney Cox and David Arquette respectively.
Up next: Neve Campbell Explains How Scream 5 Could Happen Without Wes Craven
It should be interesting to see where Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett take the story of Scream 5. Their horror hit Ready or Not had a similar irreverent tone as the Scream franchise, and they seemed to have won over Neve Campbell. Still, the developing movie would mark the first time a Scream movie wasn't directed by the late Wes Craven.

I see the Kernow FA are kicking off their playing existence with a game on Monday , Feb 25th.
It's against a Foxhole Stars XI (ko 7.30pm) at Poltair Park, St Austell.
It's going to be a joint management set-up for the new team and they are ex-St Austell manager Phil Lafferty and current Bodmin boss Darren Gilbert.
Is that official Dave? Nothing from the Kernow FA about Gilbert alongside Phil as of yet?
That could be some pairing indeed. Great respect for both Laffs and Gilbert when it comes to knowing how the game should be played and judging good players. Hope they get on well together.
Are there any implications towards Clubs, players or match officials for their involvement in this event - or would it fall into the same category as other non-FA regulated football, like some commercial 6-a-side organisations?
Seems a very odd first opponent to me. I don't know what Foxhole Stars XI are like in terms of standard, but I imagine if the side Phil and Darren are putting together are the best that Cornwall has to offer, then it could be a cricket score.
Have spoken to whets and he's getting a select squad of 18 together to play the fixture. Players have been asked from various clubs in the SWPL. Myself, Carl Rickard, Callum Kenny, mikey davies and Aaron Beresford have been asked to play from st Dennis. I know he has a couple from Newquay, Dan Jennings and Sam gerkin from wadebridge.
Hes currently on the phone getting a team together so should be a good game.
Always interesting seeing these types of squads being put together. There never seems to be players from the Eastern part of Cornwall involved. It's almost as if anything East of Bodmin doesn't get seen as Cornwall, which is a shame as there are some top players a little closer to the border.
Good luck in the game Lee.
Interesting. A break from running a league club...or a distraction?
Could explain a bit of slide.
Ok then, assuming all players are available, who would the folks on here pick for a Cornish born eleven to represent the county?
is there a restriction on league? IE are Truro players eligible?
Eligible if born in Cornwall!
Judging players has nothing to do with, the money in the pocket has everything to do with it.
Both Managers have only won leagues when they have had the biggest budget.
Their passion cannot be questioned at all and both know the game well but get them to go and manage in the league below with no money and see what success they get and how many so called big name players follow them.
You can have pots of money teflon, but, if you don't have the correct blend of player, they won't play well together. Judging players has all to do with it.
A few seasons back, Real Madrid had a side full of so called super stars but the blend was wrong. They did not succeed as a side, which, on paper looked unbeatable. In practice it just didn't work out.
Seriously 100% . ha ha.
Occasional swearing is usually accepted, continually swearing throughout a match, often at officials is what upsets most people, and would be what they would not want to be associated with.
Two top men and managers . If it was in players heads not to bother with this having these in charge would make them change their minds .
Oh 100% how deluded you must be. Devon would smash all over Cornwall any day of the week, and twice on Sunday. Annear? Nothing on our boy Landricombe. Eddy? Nothing on Rocky Neal. Don't forget we'd also have the likes of Mike Landricombe, Daw brothers, Josh Oak etc etc to call upon, all top quality talent that would, rightfully, put Cornwall right where they should be, as the a*se of Britain.
Haha 😂 dream on dreamer!
would, rightfully, put Cornwall right where they should be, as the a*se of Britain.
Look at the different standard of football between Eddy and Rocky 100% ? Leagues apart. Think elephant may be a bit harsh but obviously a passionate Devonian. Think the Devon team would beat Cornwall 9 times out of 10. Would be good too watch though.
Tight git would still con me intoto paying for him to get in.
The question is , where would it be played ?
Have to be Saltash I would think.
It would only involve the Managers picking their mates anyway so would be a waste of time.
Any kind of game of game like this (rep games was always the same), the manager either picked their mates or the players of the club they were connected to at the time.
Top 3 sides in SWPL are from Devon, plus Western League, plus Southern League I think most of you guys have eaten too many pasties if you think Cornwall would beat Devon. I fear for Cornish football when The FA restructure isolates their clubs even more, although I do realise that some of your contributors are looking forward to it.
What a way you have with words Elephant. I'm glad that not everyone in Devon has your attitude.
Think we have ourselves a game. Cornish side selected and managed by 100% and the Devon side selected and managed by Elephant. The question to them both is, "Who is in your 18 man squads?"
I thought Ryan Barnes was your fave keeper!
Nigel Menhenick - adding some experience to the squad!
Brilliant Dave ! Get with it 100%Cornish Nigel is older than me !

I recently re-read Agatha Christie's Endless Night (1967), for the Instagram Agatha Christie bookclub Maidens of Murder.
Agatha wrote Endless Night in her seventies, and it's one of her most chilling and accomplished books. It was one of her personal favourites, and her grandson Mathew Prichard recently voted it his favourite in a survey to mark the 125th anniversary of Agatha's birth.
Endless Night received some of the Queen of Crime's best reviews and I wish she had written more standalones, as it is as strong as anything by Daphne du Maurier or Ruth Rendell.
From the film Endless Night
It's a psychological thriller, with no iconic detective or whodunnit, a beautifully crafted examination of evil and madness with a shocker of a twist. Even though I already knew the denouement, I was still hooked into the story. The prose is tight, the characters intriguing and it demonstrates how Agatha, in her later years was still able to pull off an accomplished piece. This is a crime writer on top of her game!
I finished the book at 3am in the morning with a storm outside – appropriate for the menacing Third Act.
The narrator is a young working-class man Michael Rogers, who marries the fabulously wealthy Ellie. He first sees Ellie at Gipsy's Acre, where a house, originally known as the Towers, is up for auction. Michael knows his dream of living at Gipsy's Acre is impossible, but he fantasies about his terminally ill architect friend, Rudolph Santonix, building a modern house on the site. However, the land is cursed by gypsies and it's said anyone who moves there will have bad luck.
When Michael and Ellie fall in love, the impossible dream of owning Gipsy's Acre is within reach. But Michael has to learn the rules of the privileged world he has now joined – and deal with a cast of characters who threaten his happiness, including the capable and controlling Scandinavian beauty, Greta. Then there's the suspicion of Ellie's family, who see Michael as a fortune hunter. Ellie's guardian and trustee Andrew Lipincott is one of my favourites, but there are many well-written characters including Michael's mother, Mrs Rogers, who doesn't appear a lot, but is realistically drawn.
The Gypsy curse is always shadowing their new home and life. Neither Michael or Ellie are superstitious, until the local village gypsy, Esther Lee, begins predicting Ellie's death.
The Endless Night of the title is taken from Auguries of Innocence by William Blake, and is suitably sombre, haunting and mystical.
In the Youtube clip Mathew Prichard made announcing his choice for the World's Favourite Christie, he explained how his friends would visit Agatha with him and how she was always curious about their lives and choices. Through his friends, Agatha became familiar with the mood and tone of the 60s and he believes she gleaned influences from her conversations with those young people that went into the book.
A movie of Endless Night, released in 1972, starred Hayley Mills, Britt Ekland, Per Oscarsson, Hywel Bennett, and George Sanders. I have the DVD and really enjoy it. It has recently been turned into a Miss Marple adaptation, which I think is disappointing as the book doesn't feature Marple. I'm a huge Miss Marple fan, but she doesn't belong in Endless Night.
For readers who love psychological thrillers, domestic noir and the awful sounding grip-lit – if you haven't read Endless Night, I highly recommend it!
Endless Night has gothic overtones and, as with several of Agatha's books, a nod to the supernatural. But the haunting in this isn't from any wraith within the pages, but from how the book plays with your mind afterwards. It is one of my favourite Agatha Christies and a perfectly suitable book choice for the October Spooky season.
