His most recent book is hoosiers, a new history of indiana, which is on display outside. For many years he coedited the Indiana University press series midwestern history and culture, which included a book he edited historiescomparative of the midwestern states. Jim says hes very proud, in a modest hoosier way that the midwest Mystery Association bestowed on him the Lifetime Achievement award. I have known jim many years, is many years since i was a , student, his student back at Indiana University and ill testify that he has solid midwestern values, unfailing kindness and decency unflagging , work ethic and solid common sense. Jim represents the best of what it means to be midwestern but he has never romanticized midwestern history. We pride ourselves on being nice, but we dont always live up to that ideal. So today jim will be speaking on a darker side of the midwestern past. He is going to be talking about who is an american, the rise and fall of the ku klux klan in the midwest. [ap

After 40 days of abstinence during Lent, people are all set to celebrate Easter today with their family and friends. While each community has its own traditional Easter fix – mostly consisting of meat dishes – Anglo-Indian Easter celebrates the best of European and Indian flavours with some unique dishes that are native to each region. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking in Anglo-Indian kitchens today.
Easter delights from Kerala
For the Syrian Christians and Anglo-Indians of Kerala, the choice of meats on Easter varies from the dry roast of various meats to duck prepared in coconut milk and mild spices, which is an Easter favourite. “The community down South enjoy pairing their meat with the white, fluffy appams, made with fresh palm, coconut flavoured rice and root veggies. And Syrian Christians love their dry roast of various meat dishes along with appams,” shares Anna Vijj, a food blogger from Kochi.
