Описание:
Have you ever heard a story or read a book so far fetched you questioned its authenticity? The Adventures of Slump Thacker may just be one of those books.
It is the yearly family reunion of the Spivey clan. The old home place is buzzing with the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of Fred and Emilou Spivey. They have come from as far away as Chicago, New York, and California. The house is filled with laughter, love, and an overabundance of food.
After the noonday meal is over, every child under the age of fifteen gathers around their paw paw. Great Grandpa Spivey is a wonderful storyteller. The children can hardly wait to hear him spin his tales about his lifelong best friend, Slump Thacker. With much encouragement, the old man reaches far back into his memories to the days when he and Slump were young adventurous lads. The children sit enthralled by their paw paw's stories of Slump, Slump's three-legged dog, Stumpy, his mule, Sleepin' Jesus, and his fifteen-foot long alligator, Red-Eye.
Although you may question the believability of The Adventures of Slump Thacker, you will find yourself wanting to believe, as did the children, that indeed these wonderful tales are true.

Описание: Shantytowns once occupied a central place in America`s urban landscape. Lisa Goff shows how these resourceful dwellings were not merely the byproducts of hardship but potent assertions of self-reliance. Their legacy is felt in sites of political activism, from campus shanties protesting apartheid to the tent cities of Occupy Wall Street.

Описание:
Clara Sue Carpenter has been taking care of her husband, Harold, for almost ten years, after a massive stroke made it impossible for him to do for himself. Although he is extremely hard to understand when he speaks, he has no problem calling her a slut and other ugly things, better left unsaid.
Her once exciting, exhilarating life has become nothing more than a dull, boring, day-to-day existence. She and Harold have come to Panama City Beach, Florida to celebrate their fortieth anniversary. Clara Sue wants desperately to relive a time when they were happily married; before he became ill and so cruel.
When Harold refuses to see things her way, she decides she will enjoy her time at the beach, regardless of Harolds' objections. She visits a local hair salon - clothing center where she gets all dolled up, buys a new outfit, and goes out on the town, alone.
To her delight, she meets a handsome gentleman by the name of Michael Morgan. They spend the evening drinking margaritas, and dancing the night away until closing. Her new friend walks her out to her SUV, thanks her for a lovely night, and bids her goodbye. Clara Sue decides she will spend the next night and the night after that, out on the town in hopes of running into her dance partner again.
The next morning, she is making breakfast while Harold is watching the local news on TV; still angry about Clara Sue's last night escapade. A pretty young reporter interrupts with breaking news. A man is found dead inside his car at the parking lot of the Sapphire Club. The victim has been identified as, Michael Morgan. Police are looking for a woman known only as Clara Sue, as it appears she is the last person to have seen him alive. It is at that moment, Clara Sue realizes she is the prime suspect for murder.

Beth was covered in blood and ashes. Unable to stand up and walk in the slick pool of blood, she crawled to her grandfather.

Автор: Krista A. Goff, Lewis H. Siegelbaum Название: Empire and Belonging in the Eurasian Borderlands ISBN: 1501736132 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781501736131 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 7769.00 р. Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ.
Описание:
Empire and Belonging in the Eurasian Borderlands engages with the evolving historiography around the concept of belonging in the Russian and Ottoman empires. The contributors to this book argue that the popular notion that empires do not care about belonging is simplistic and wrong.
Chapters address numerous and varied dimensions of belonging in multiethnic territories of the Ottoman Empire, Imperial Russia, and the Soviet Union, from the mid-nineteenth to the late twentieth centuries. They illustrate both the mutability and the durability of imperial belonging in Eurasian borderlands.
Contributors to this volume pay attention to state authorities but also to the voices and experiences of teachers, linguists, humanitarian officials, refugees, deportees, soldiers, nomads, and those left behind. Through those voices the authors interrogate the mutual shaping of empire and nation, noting the persistence and frequency of coercive measures that imposed belonging or denied it to specific populations deemed inconvenient or incapable of fitting in. The collective conclusion that editors Krista A. Goff and Lewis H. Siegelbaum provide is that nations must take ownership of their behaviors, irrespective of whether they emerged from disintegrating empires or enjoyed autonomy and power within them.
