	Internet Book List :: Book Information: Voice of the Whirlwind
		And in those fifteen years, the entire world has changed: The Orbital Policorp which held his allegiance has collapsed; dozens of his friends died in an off-planet war which he survived; an alien race has established relations with humanity; both his first and second wives have divorced him.

	Kurt Koenigsberger MLA 2002
		Maalouf's novel has Yeats's work distinctly in mind, taking as its epigraph a line from the "Leo Africanus" manuscript, and the collaboration between Maalouf and Leo Africanus, in which the former builds upon the writing and life narrative of the latter, accomplishes several things in relation to that earlier dialogue.
		Yeats's encounter with Leo and Africa begins in the realm of Yeats's private investigations - that is, in the arcane world of spiritualism to which, Edward Said claims, Yeats has recourse to escape or resolve the tensions between his Irish nationalism and his allegiance to English cultural heritage (80).
		Maalouf's novel concludes with the following imperatives: "When men's minds seem narrow to you, tell yourself that the land of God is broad; broad His hands and broad His heart.

	Stop Evolution in Its Tracks! by John Sladek
		He is a serious and innovative writer whose allegiance to genre conventions is nearly nonexistent, but he is a rationalist and moral satirist who despises cant and humbug, often presenting them in a darkly humorous light.

	Animalism vs. Marxism
		The Seven Commandments, by the end of the novel, eventually become one commandment and "Beasts of England,² a song taught to the animals by old Major, is replaced by "Animal Farm,² a song taught by Minimus, the poet.
		Orwell, however, for reasons such as the omitted portion of his preface and misreadings of his novels, has been mislabeled a traitor of Socialism or a hero to the right wing by theorists and critics.
		In Animal Farm, it is Boxer, the hard-working horse who gives his life to the cause, who pledges his allegiance to Napoleon; his speech is indicative of the discourse fed to him day in and day out.

	American Renaissance June 1995 Issue
		In The Camp of the Saints, Jean Raspail goes further and declares his allegiance to his race — though it is an allegiance tinged with bitterness at the weakness of the white man. Originally published in 1973, this may be the first significant racialist novel since the days of Thomas Dixon.
		Raspail's powerful, gripping novel is a call to all whites to rekindle their sense of race, love of culture, and pride in history — for he knows that without them we will disappear.
		The Camp of the Saints puts the white man's dilemma in the most difficult terms: slaughter hundreds of thousands of women and children or face oblivion.

		Raspail's powerful, gripping novel is a call to all whites to rekindle their sense of race, love of culture, and pride in history — for he knows that without them we will disappear.
		Raspail explains, it was "a known fact that racism comes in two forms: that practiced by whites— heinous and inexcusable, whatever its motives — and that practiced by blacks — quite justified, whatever its excess, since it's merely the expression of a righteous revenge.

	No Sense of Discipline - Conference - Abstracts
		Yet the novel ends, not only with the historical invasion of the Waikato and death of all ‘mixed allegiance’ characters, but of a surprising rapid deployment of the Romance genre into what had, hitherto, been the separate space of a historical novel.
		On one hand, it is an historical novel about mixed loyalties among Maori and Pakeha set at a key moment in our history: the invasion of the Waikato by British troops in 1863.
		The romance sections, by contrast, are metropolitan, involving Auckland as a sort of outpost of high society London.

	pledgespeech
		The original socialist salute for Bellamy's Pledge of Allegiance used a straight-arm salute and it was the origin of the salute adopted 3 decades later by the National Socialist German Workers' Party.
		It explains why the original pledge of allegiance had a salute that began with a military salute (that extended during the pledge to a straight-arm salute) in keeping with the "Industrial Army" and the military-socialist complex.
		Bellamy perverts the U.S. idea of equality before the law, and turns it into the monstrous idea of government making everyone the same (see http://rexcurry.net/equality.html) as in the totalitarian socialist novel

	Calloway, Catherine, 'How to tell a true war story': Metafiction in 'The Things They Carried.'., Vol. 36, Critique: Studies in Contemporary Fiction, June, 1995, pp 249 ff.
		The Things They Carried is a combat novel, yet it is not a combat novel.
		Like O'Brien's earlier novel, the critically acclaimed Going After Cacciato,(2) The Things They Carried considers the process of writing; it is, in fact, as much about the process of writing as it is the text of a literary work.
		Furthermore, a true war story has an "absolute and uncompromising allegiance to obscenity and evil" (76), is embarrassing, may not be believable, seems to go on forever, does "not generalize" or "indulge in abstraction or analysis" (84), does not necessarily make "a point" (88), and sometimes cannot even be told.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Kay, Jackie
		Kay’s story owes some allegiance to the true story of American country musician Billy Tipton, who worked and lived as a man, but who was later classified as a woman.
		Kay’s novel, however, transforms this premise by exporting it to Britain and having gender and sexual constructions intersect with race and nationality.
		If Kay’s first collection of poetry bore the signs of her work as a dramatist in its use of multiple voices, Kay’s first novel bears the fruit of both her poetic and dramatic sensibilities.

	§24. Francis Marion Crawford. XI. The Later Novel: Howells. Vol. 17. Later National Literature, Part II. The Cambridge History of English and American Literature: An Encyclopedia in Eighteen Volumes. 1907–21
		In the eighties began the career of that later American writer who gave to the novel his most complete allegiance, undeterred by the vogue of briefer narratives or other forms of literature.
		The success of the experiment was so prompt and complete that its author recognized his vocation once for all, much as does George Wood in The Three Fates (1892), a novel admitted to be partly autobiographical.
		Francis Marion Crawford, son of the sculptor Thomas Crawford and nephew of Julia Ward Howe, was born at Bagni di Lucca, Tuscany, in 1854.

	Speculative Fiction
		Arrows of the Queen is probably Mercedes Lackey's first published work, or close to it, and that shows; although it's well written for a first novel, it has the rough edges of inexperience, and a certain naive simplicity that renders it eminently suitable for children (really, young teenagers) and sometimes less engrossing for adults.
		For the first time, Talia is faced with serious threats to her life and sanity, as the fate of nations and the plots of kings threaten both her personally and the throne to which she owes her allegiance.
		Arrow's Flight is the second novel of the Arrows of the Queen trilogy, and the second in Mercedes Lackey's tales of Valdemar.

	ZA@Play - Books: The smell of betrayal 11/04/00
		Which of his lovers will this pubescent Lothario finally betray, and what will be the outcome of his wavering sexual allegiance?
		And it is not so much Karl de Man's sexually omnivorous behaviour that subverts his claim to grace, but the fact that he betrays everyone in the novel - friends, lovers and family - in his unremitting quest for personal gratification, and by the end of the novel seems no nearer resolving his sexual identity.
		Behr's tone by contrast is challenging in a sulky, adolescent way, perhaps partly because of the youth of his protagonist.

	Monroe
		Barbara Pym was unpublished from 1961 to 1977 which suggests that her subject--rituals signifying partial allegiances to many groups as opposed to total allegiance to one--was unfashionable if not incomprehensible to people publishing books and readers who might have bought them had they been available.
		Barbara Pym used the literary wedding--or a wedding that looks likely to occur in the unrealized future after the novel ended, or the restoration of a marriage that seems for most of the novel in a state of irreversible disrepair--as an imperfect pattern, an old form trimmed and stretched to contain new facts.
		Barbara Pym is closer to being a graffiti artist, though the idea she has anything in common with Thomas Pynchon is startling.

	C.M. Woon: Historical Contexts of the Baba Community in The Advocate's Devil
		The novel provides a colourful portrayal of the Baba-Nyonya communities of the Straits Settlements, mapping not simply an erosion of traditions, but a commingling of old and new ways that is mirrored by the mixing of ethnicities as well as by the confusions over national allegiances.
		In Woon's novel, the hero's great-grandfather came to the Straits Settlements in the early nineteenth century.
		Anyway, whatever the reason may have been, we became Babas &; Straits Chinese, born and bred in the Settlements, and owing allegiance to the British Crown.

	The Asian Reporter - BOOK REVIEW
		Though it will probably never qualify as summer beach-blanket reading, Tule Lake is a well turned realist novel as well as an act of bravery and personal witness.
		In the spasm of ethnic paranoia following the World Trade Center disaster, the novel seemed newly relevant, and Miyakawa was persuaded to reissue Tule Lake in cooperation with the Canadian print-on-demand publisher Trafford.
		The Department of War had circulated a questionnaire in the camps including two items: Questions 27 and 28 asked whether the respondent would be willing to serve in the American armed forces, and whether he would forswear allegiance to all but the United States.

	salon :: :: books :: review :: "The Hero's Walk" by Anita Rau Badami, By Suzy Hansen :: Page 1
		In Anita Rau Badami's second novel, "The Hero's Walk," the disappointment that hangs over the characters is like the heat that chokes the Indian town, Toturpuram, in which they live: It's so oppressive that only something as brutally triumphant and all-consuming as a monsoon can free them from it.
		Badami, however, lights each of them with small hopes; their tongues lash out with startling irreverence and emotion, but the novel never staggers under the weight of melancholy.
		After all, he was a Brahmin, not a trader-caste fellow who had no shame asking for this and that." Many of Badami's characters suffer from this blinding, sometimes corrupting, allegiance to the caste system.

		Sladek's allegiance to reason and science is affirmed by making the opposite madness.
		He is a serious and innovative writer whose allegiance to genre conventions is nearly nonexistent, but he is a rationalist and moral satirist who despises cant and humbug, often presenting them in a darkly humorous light.

		One contention of the petitioner is the novel one that her naturalization did not meet the requirements of 2 of the Act of 1907, 13 because it did not take place within the boundaries of a foreign state.
		Since 1795, Congress has required any alien seeking American citizenship to declare "that he both absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to every foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty whatever, and particularly by name, the prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, whereof he was before a citizen or subject;.
		18 Her application for naturalization and her oath of allegiance were in Italian, which she did not understand, but Savorgnan did understand Italian, and he was with her and able to translate and explain them to her when she signed them.
