Identity Configuration and Ideological Manipulation in Nicholas Gage’s A Place for Us
The ramifications of Nicholas Gage's emergence and empowerment within US hegemonic culture become more obvious if one considers the sequel to Eleni, A Place for Us, Gage's autobiographical narrative of his immigration to and life in the US. Here, Arapoglou discusses the identity configuration and ideological manipulation in Gage's A Place for Us.
Utah voices: Remembering my father and my daddy
My father died Dec. 2, 2005, in Salt Lake City, but you probably didn't know him. Robert Herald Vipperman wasn't rich or famous, or even infamous. He was known only to his family, friends, neighbors, coworkers. Daddy was only 23 when I was born, when folk music was very popular. We sang \"Puff the Magic Dragon\" together and for years watched \"American Bandstand\" on Saturday mornings. He could be a kid himself, sometimes, sitting on the floor with us, playing games - but he could also be a strong, protective father. Nicholas Gage, in his book A Place for us: Eleni's Children in America, recalls when he realized his father was only a human being. Gage says his father had done the best he could, and though his father had made many mistakes, Gage knew his father never meant to disappoint his children.

Regional Digest
Mr. [Nicholas Gage], of North Grafton, was educated in Worcester public schools.
Non-fiction
I managed the first three chapters, which took the reader through [Ronnie Corbett]'s childhood, before I decided I could no longer stomach the excruciating stories of \"We bumped into Stewart Granger in the supermarket and he recognised me immediately and invited us to dinner at his home\" or \"Sean Connery never fails to ring or pop in when he's passing.\" I always did prefer Ronnie Barker. Publisher: Ebury Press; RRP: $21.95. The Daily Telegraph newspaper took the writers to Sudan and encouraged them to write about their experiences in their own unique styles. The result is a fascinating blend of fact and fiction, from the haunting RSS by Alex Garland and the chilling, harsh novella Contamination by Irvine Welsh, to the descriptive Getting it Wrong, Getting it Right by Victoria Glendenning and the lighter travel piece A Song for Sudan by Tony Hawks.

Greece says 'Yes'
The same Athens streets that had overflowed with celebrants following the July 5 historic \"No\" vote urged by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, filled again but with protests last night against a \"Yes\" vote that Mr. Tsipras was now urging on Parliament. After tense negotiations with European Union leaders resulted in a $96 billion package early Monday, Greece was given only until yesterday to accept the difficult austerity measures demanded as part of the bailout. Some viewed this as a humiliating bow to international control. And typical of how things have gone, the final vote to accept this medicine came two hours after the technical midnight deadline. Nearly 60% of the \"No\" votes were defectors from the prime minister's Syriza party, although he barely maintained the party's mandate.
FSC's Political Events Try to Be Nonpartisan
On-campus events for students that already have been held this year have gone well, he said. \"We have had three test runs,\" he said. \"Three different debate parties, with rising participation.\" \"We had Democrats and Republicans at the same table, discussing, or keeping score,\" he said. \"For these kids, politics is what they live and breathe.\" \"We have aspiring politicians in our group, and we may be working with each other in the future,\" [Alex Oommen] said. \"There's no question about it, we have our differences. But we believe we are stronger when we are able to work together.\"
