The type of characters, and friendships, one might make in the world of personal pleasure boating is similar to what you might expect to find in any neighborhood. People from every walk of life enjoy the excitement of spending leisure time on or near the water. Some are sail boaters, others are motorboat enthusiasts. They may enjoy deep sea cruising, or just spending their time sailing along the coastline, or upon rivers and lakes. They may never have the opportunity to venture into an ocean. The professions these yachters make their living in vary from white-collar executives to blue-collar mechanics. A Captain could be male or female. Once on board a boat, pecking order is virtually non-existent. Many boat owners are well versed in navigational skills, and some may just be learning the ropes. Besides the pleasures of owning and cruising on a boat, it is the people that you have an opportunity to connect with that make it not only a sport, but a lifestyle. From the very beginning of our boating experience, starting as complete novices, and unfortunately with an unbelievable ignorance, to the time we were able to sail into open waters with some dignity, my wife and I experienced many years of adventure, meeting with, and making friends with some of the nicest people imaginable.

Racism, racial equity, and the race-place connections related to racial inequalities in the U.S. are the major themes of this book. The long history of U.S. White racism toward Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians is deeply rooted in the political, socioeconomic, and intellectual frameworks of America, permitting racial inequities to become expressed as cultural landscapes—the places where many racial minorities exist. The contemporary geographic patterns of segregation and isolation are different from those of earlier U.S. history, but are equally damning and present extremely difficult challenges for social action in a nation that will change its racial/ethnic composition dramatically during the current generation.As America changes over the next quarter century, the visible and invisible race-place inequalities that help define U.S. urban geography will continue in housing, education, employment, travel requirements, shopping choices, environmental hazards, and other living conditions. Minority groups, ever increasing in numbers, will find inequalities unacceptable. How America deals with racial inequalities will likely have consequences for all its citizens.

Race, Ethnicity, and Place in a Changing America (Global Academic Publishing)

Uses both historical and contemporary case studies to examine how race and ethnicity affect the places we live, work, and visit. This book examines major Hispanic, African, and Asian diasporas in the continental United States and Puerto Rico from the nineteenth century to the present, with particular attention on the diverse ways in which these immigrant groups have shaped and reshaped American places and landscapes. Through both historical and contemporary case studies, the contributors examine how race and ethnicity affect the places we live, work, and visit, illustrating along the way the behaviors and concepts that comprise the modern ethnic and racial geography of immigrant and minority groups. While primarily addressed to students and scholars in the fields of racial and ethnic geography, these case studies will be accessible to anyone interested in race-place connections, race-ethnicity boundaries, the development of racialization, and the complexity of human settlement patterns and landscapes that make up the United States and Puerto Rico. Taken together, they show how individuals and culture groups, through their ideologies, social organization, and social institutions, reflect both local and regional processes of place-making and place-remaking that occur within and beyond the continental United States.

The craft of pinstriping dates back centuries, when carriages of royalty were painted with fine lines of exquisite detail and design. Twelve-year-old Derek Moody lives at The Greasy Spoon, a struggling roadside mart and garage. Over three days he learns that the man he calls "Dad" is not his father, and he meets Kelly Williams, the cute niece of a big customer. When the two are later caught behaving as curious adolescents, the Moodys lose the Williams business and Derek loses his new best friend. Anxious to make amends, Derek begins pinstriping customers' cars with seasoned expertise, skill he attributes to Kelly and their last encounter. He leaves home at 18, well on his way to fortune and fame. At a hot rod show he meets Cecil Caldwell, a Matchbox car vendor, and his personal life appears equally successful. Until a freak injury threatens his career at age 26. For anyone who ever grinned at a nicely-painted car, and everybody who never completely forget their first love, and anyone who ever knew the joy of a dog or the bliss of a dysfunctional family, Pinstripes is about trust and duplicity, faith and despair, cherry Chapstick and cherry-flavored pancake syrup. And the fine lines that separate all of them. After writing copy for the San Francisco offices of three international advertising agencies, John Frazier began freelancing in 1987.

Clients have included Apple, IBM, AT&amp;T, Hewlett-Packard, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and Levi Strauss. For an even longer period of time, John has been fascinated by cars shiny and fast. He had his first Hot Wheels track as a young grade schooler, and attended the famed Oakland Roadster Show as a young teenager, providing his first serious look at mag wheels, chrome head covers and pinstriping, the fine lines of paint adorning the hottest of rods with flames and flourishes. Although his first car, a 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner, did not sport pinstripes, it did go fast. Among his favorite movies of the era were Vanishing Point and Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry, two tributes to muscle cars and man's insatiable need for speed. In his spare time John listens to too much Sinatra.
