Описание:

Although slavery was legally abolished in 1981 in Mauritania, its legacy lives on in the political, economic, and social discrimination against ex-slaves and their descendants. Katherine Ann Wiley examines the shifting roles of Muslim Ḥarāṭīn (ex-slaves and their descendants) women, who provide financial support for their families. Wiley uses economic activity as a lens to examine what makes suitable work for women, their trade practices, and how they understand and assert their social positions, social worth, and personal value in their everyday lives. She finds that while genealogy and social hierarchy contributed to status in the past, women today believe that attributes such as wealth, respect, and distance from slavery help to establish social capital. Wiley shows how the legacy of slavery continues to constrain some women even while many of them draw on neoliberal values to connect through kinship, friendship, and professional associations. This powerful ethnography challenges stereotypical views of Muslim women and demonstrates how they work together to navigate social inequality and bring about social change.

Описание:

Set against the backdrop of the American Revolution, Nine Miles North tells the story of Patriot soldier and spy Ethan Shaye, who carries out a series of daring missions, slipping behind enemy lines to secure vital information for the Continental Army. His courage and resourcefulness have earned him the trust and respect of General Washington himself, who entrusts Ethan with a crucial mission, one that may well turn the tide of the entire war.

But Ethan's boldness and fierce allegiance to his cause are rivaled by another passion -- his love for the daughter of a Loyalist.

In a captivating tale of adventure, danger, and romance, Nine Miles North relates a compelling historical fiction narrative, rich with emotional depth and conveyed in a literary style that is authentically reflective of the period it portrays.
