The who, where, when, and why of honorary streets, days, and other recognitions.---Who or what is a WOOGM and why is there a Chicago alley named for it?This is the question I asked myself one summer day more than a decade ago as I looked up at the brown background and white letters signs flanked with four white stars. What are all these brown honorary signs around the city; and who are these people, places and things being honored?Why was July 28, 2013 Chaka Khan Day in Chicago? Who was Abraham Lincoln Marovitz?My curiosity became a quest for the answer. I have created the most complete compilation of honorary streets, days, tributes and congratulations, for the Honorary Chicago series. Discover what makes Chicago "the world's largest small town."This book is organized by neighborhood can be used as a tour book of Chicago's honorary streets, it contains additional historical and biographic information regarding honorary days and commemorations. This edition represents only a fraction of what I have developed for the Honorary Chicago record. There are far more points on the maps than are included in the book and that some of the signs, buildings, locations, and landmarks no longer exist. All are chronicled by Honorary Chicago, lest they be lost to history – again.Proceeds from this book will help support further research and updates.

Book Synopsis The Calling of History by : Dipesh Chakrabarty

Download or read book The Calling of History written by Dipesh Chakrabarty. This book was released on 2015-07-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dipesh Chakrabarty s eagerly anticipated book examines the politics of history through the careerand in many ways tragic fateof the distinguished historian Sir Jadunath Sarkar (1870-1957). One of the most important scholars in India during the first half of the twentieth century, Sarkar was knighted in 1929 and is still the only Indian historian to have ever been elected an Honorary Fellow of the American Historical Association. He was a universalizing and scientific historian, highly influential during much of his career, but, by the end of his lifetime, he became marginalized by the history establishment in India. History, Chakrabarty writes, sometimes plays truant with historians: by the 1970swhen Chakrabarty himself was a novice historianSarkar was almost completely forgotten. Through Sarkar s story, Chakrabarty explores the role of historical scholarship in India s colonial modernity and throws new light on the ways that postcolonial Indian historians embraced a more partisan idea of truth in the name of democratic and anti-colonial politics."
