Описание: Theresa Welford`s Trans-Atlantic Connections: The Movement and New Formalism is the first book to explore the important connections between the brash young British writers who coalesced into a controversial poetic and critical movement in the 1950s and the brash young American writers who coalesced into an equally controversial movement in the 1980s.
Frozen in time, we are transported to the 1950's, a simpler time, when imagination was unobscured by reality to explore dreams and visions. The extraordinary Easter Egg Museum of Schoharie, NY is presented photographically by award-winning photographer and NASA retired rocket scientist, Dr. Joseph Heyman. This is a unique study of the creative folk-art legacy of Mildred Vrooman. In addition, her remarkable life is captured in historical research and preserved documents. Her talent is similar to Grandma Moses - simple depictions of themes - wonderfully brought to the faces of eggs. The eggs are sometimes part of a tableau, dressed elegantly as fashion stars, or as clowns in a circus, or disciples at the Last Supper. This is a unique world treasure
The Easter Egg Museum was the life-long work and passion of Miss Mildred Vrooman who died in 2012 at age 103. She along with her friend Elizabeth Warner, were inspired to create an Easter Egg tree by the 1951 Caldecott Award children's book, The Egg Tree, by Katherine Milhouse. The exhibit began with painted and dyed eggs displayed on a few trees outdoors and it continued to expand until it moved indoors to the Mary Beatrice Cushing Memorial Library in 1964.
By 2001, Mildred Vrooman, already a nonagenarian, decided to build a museum on her property for the egg exhibit. She spent a lifetime creating this unique and wondrous collection. While the display began with a few painted eggs it evolved into a wonderland of fanciful vignettes made of eggs. She depicts the Old Stone Fort along with Revolutionary War hero Timothy Murphy. The U.S. presidents up to George W. Bush are each displayed - with heads made of eggs but characteristics that enable easy identification. There is a whole circus with painted eggs including clowns, ticket takers, elephants, and seals. The old lady in the shoe is depicted, along with quite a handful of her children. The scenes include fairy tales, holidays from Easter to Christmas, religious themes including an amazing display of the Last Supper.
Miss Vrooman used small eggs and large eggs, from peahens to ostriches. Each egg was painted and then decorated or clothed. She used lace, beads, shells, fur, yarn, and sequins, anything to embellish her creations. Miss Vrooman was, indeed, a folk artist of egg artery.
The Museum has over 3,000 unique eggs. The eggs are worthy of very careful attention. Each face is distinctive and has wonderful details. No two eggs look exactly alike. In 1995 Miss Vrooman said, "You can't make 'em alike. That wouldn't be right. Each one has to be a separate character."
Miss Vrooman was creative and she had an artistic eye. Some of the eggs look like Faberge jewel boxes. Others have figures illustrating whole stories within carved eggshells. She also made egg paintings created from colored, crushed eggshells. They are mosaics made entirely of eggshells. A large tree created from wooden dowels holds 600 decorated eggs. Some are painted with Indian heads, others with birds, many have Pennsylvania Dutch decorations, and still others look like pysanka.
Since its inception, thousands of people from all over have visited the Schoharie Easter Egg Exhibit. It is a unique treasure and this legacy book provides an opportunity to share the collection with the world community and new generations.

Описание: Across the globe, states have long aimed to control the movement of people, identify their citizens, and restrict noncitizens' rights through official identification documents. Although states are now less likely to grant permanent legal status, they are increasingly issuing new temporary and provisional legal statuses to migrants. Meanwhile, the need for migrants to apply for frequent renewals subjects them to more intensive state surveillance. The contributors to Paper Trails examine how these new developments change migrants' relationship to state, local, and foreign bureaucracies. The contributors analyze, among other toics, immigration policies in the United Kingdom, the issuing of driver's licenses in Arizona and New Mexico, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, and community know-your-rights campaigns. By demonstrating how migrants are inscribed into official bureaucratic systems through the issuance of identification documents, the contributors open up new ways to understand how states exert their power and how migrants must navigate new systems of governance.
