Описание: Mountain Folk is the fifth and final book in the Backroads series by Lynn Coffey that showcases the lives and customs of the native Appalachian people of Virginia's highlands. Interviews with seventeen people still living in and around the hamlet of Love where the author makes her home, shed a new light on these private and oft-misunderstood folks whose roots grow deep in the rocky soil of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Read about Ruby May Henderson and Irma Roberts, both now over one-hundred years of age who can remember what life was like during the horse and buggy days of their childhood. Or Carl Coffey, whose father died when he was eight years old, leaving him and his younger in charge of making a living for their family of five by logging the forest with a massive but gentle ox named "Mike." Be swept away by Frances Fitzgerald's account of the Flood of 1969, when Hurricane Camille ripped through rural Nelson County, Virginia, dumping over two feet of rain in an eight hour period, destroying not only property but taking the mountains down with it, along with 124 lives. Read the eulogy for Owen Garfield Campbell; one of the last true mountain men of our area, who, following in the footsteps of his early ancestors, continued to live a life devoid of all modern conveniences. These stories and more will thrill the reader and command new respect for the last generation of mountain people who lived the old way.
What does it mean to be pedagogical in a post-truth landscape? How might feminist thought and action work to intervene in this environment?
Gender in an Era of Post-truth Populism draws together leading feminist scholars of gender and education to explore the current significance of the rise of populist policies and discourses and the challenges it poses to the hard-won battles regarding the rights of women, immigrants, and minorities. Offering the first detailed feminist intervention in this space, the collection explores the significance of populism for feminist pedagogies and practices in relation to gender and education. This exploration has significance for broader and urgent questions of our times regarding knowledge, authority, truth, power and harm and considers the potential for feminist interventions in relation to pedagogies and activisms to speak back and disrupt populist agendas.

Описание: This is not your usual collection of saints. God's creative genius peopled the fresh terrain of the United States with remarkable men and women. With the fears, hopes, frustrations, longings, and failures of ordinary humans, the people featured in When the Saints Came Marching In explored new frontiers in holiness. Like those who floated the Mississippi River for the first time, scaled Pike's Peak, or settled the unknown regions of Kentucky, they tried something new in health care, science, education, and race or labor relations. Kathy Coffey celebrates the remarkable lives and experience of holy explorers of faith whose stories continue to inspire today's pioneers to discover new paths to welcome the North American saints of tomorrow. With her well-known insight and unique style, Coffey draws us closer to Junipero Serra, Elizabeth Ann Seton, Pierre Toussaint, John Neumann, Julia Greeley, Marianne Cope, Katharine Drexel, Rachel Carson, Dorothy Day, Thea Bowman, Ruma Martyrs, Cesar Chavez, Mychal Judge, and Dorothy Stang.

Описание: With a foreword by acclaimed, award-winning British TV writer Tony Jordan, Liz Coffey's story is funny, shocking, tragic and heart-rending.Elizabeth Coffey once had seven brothers and sisters, but today only she and one brother are left. Thanks to 'an insane series of cruel blows' variously involving illness, accidents, mental health mismanagement and suicide, not one of herother siblings made it past their sixties. And yet through it all, the love, life and laughter have shone through - sometimes, it has seemed, from beyond the grave. This is Elizabeth's funny, shocking, tragic, heart-rending story."It struck me, at an early age, being the 'little one' of the family, that there was a high probability my dearly loved brothers and sisters were going to die before me. I didn't expect it to happen quite so soon, and quite so tragically." 'And The Little One Said' is an incredible emotional roller coaster. I cried, yes, but I also laughed and was moved by the honesty and love. Elizabeth is an incredible writer, I was hooked from the word go and struggled to put the book down. I highly recommend that you pick up a copy ..." Frost Magazine, 31st May 2021''Beautiful, sad and uplifting, I cried and laughed ...I found this book a real comfort. ... It's heart breaking to read how medical mismanagement, mental illness, accidents and illness all seemed to stack up against this one family. It's beautiful to see how they all come together in different ways and different times to handle it all.... My emotions about my own loss were at points summed up by the experiences of others in the book ... It was nice to know I wasn't alone. ... I would recommend this book to anyone ... I loved every second and couldn't put it down." AnyWayToStayAtHome book blog
