Aliens Are Coming!: The True Account of the 1938 War of the Worlds Radio Broadcast
It was an ordinary night in October of 1938 until a news bulletin interrupted the dance music on "CBS radio-aliens were invading the United States!

The book uses excerpts from the actual "War of the Worlds radio broadcast and includes information about the importance of radios in the 1930s (before the time of televisions and computers) as well as facts about Orson Welles and H. G. Wells, author of the novel on which the broadcast was based.

Using the Master's Tools: Resistance and the Literature of the African and South Asian Diasporas by Anuradha Dingwan Needham, ISBN 0312225423
Through close readings of works by writers like C. L. R. James, Salman Rushdie, Ama Ata Aidoo, Michelle Cliff, and Hanif Kureishi, "Using the Master's Tools" examines instances of textual resistance elaborated within imperial/metropolitan epistemologies and ideologies. In her analysis, Anuradha Needham focuses especially on each writer's historical location, personal and political affiliations, presumed audiences, and position on gender as integral contextual determinants of the strategies of textual resistance each deploys. Drawing on the extensive scholarship on "subaltern" and anti-colonial resistances in a number of disciplines, this book demonstrates the mutual interactions of (general) theory with (specific) practice such that each is enriched, extended, and refurbished.
