Описание:
A stand alone Carmichael Saga prequel. Post World War II. Henry and Emmet's brotherly bond is unbreakable, until Millicent comes back into their lives. In 1949 at just the age of 13, the brothers took 15-year-old Millie under their wing, when she and her mother were struggling to make ends meet after the loss of her father during the war. When Millie was forced to move on with her life, neither brother thought they'd ever see her again. Family tragedy and social expectations shape them into men, and when the Australian government fears an 'Asian Invasion' from the Eastern Block, eighteen-year-old Henry and Emmet must go into compulsory National Service. When destiny puts Millie into the brother's path again, their childhood crush for her is rekindled and the once close brothers begin to drift apart. Millicent loves them both and has to choose from two good men, unable to avoid breaking a heart.

Описание: A newly discovered nineteenth-century novel about West Virginia breaking away from Virginia, set amid the cannel coal boom and featuring an interracial abolitionist movement.Based mostly on his own experiences, Theophile Maher's local color novel Cannel Coal Oil Days challenges many popular ideas about antebellum Appalachia, bringing it more fully into the broader story of the United States. Written in 1887, discovered in 2018, and published here for the first time, it offers a narrative of life between 1859 and 1861 in what was then western Virginia as it became West Virginia.Cannel coal (a soft form of coal whose oil, when distilled, was competitive in the lighting oil business after overfishing reduced the whale oil supply) was at the center of one of Appalachia's first extractive industries. Using the development of coal oil manufacturing in the Kanawha valley as its launching point, Maher's semiautobiographical novel tells of a series of interrelated changes, each reflecting larger transformations in the United States as a whole. It shows how coal oil manufacturing was transformed from an amateurish endeavor to a more professional industry, with implications for Appalachian environment and labor. Then, Maher foreshadows the coming Progressive Era by insisting on moral and environmental reforms based in democratic and Christian principles. Finally, he tells the story of the coming of the Civil War to the region, as the novel's protagonist, a mining engineer, works closely with a Black family to organize the local abolitionist mountain folk into a Union militia to aid in the secession of West Virginia from Virginia.

A woman's rights are not her own.
Alice is a disgrace to the family. Disowned for refusing to marry the man who wronged her, she's packed off to a hospice for unmarried mothers, where it's intended she'll be out of sight and out of mind until her baby is surrendered for adoption. Alice has her own ideas and wants to keep her child, but is unprepared for the vilification, moral judgments and repeated abuse her decision will cause. Stripped of her confidence and self-esteem, Alice is left questioning her abilities as a mother. In her darkest hour, when all seems lost, little does she know that help is on its way.
Three men claimed to love her, but only one will truly find her.

Описание: This volume engages researchers with the notion of critical qualitative inquiry (CQI) as a direct practice of resistance. As female educators and researchers who have (through our politically activist sister) been referred to as "Nasty Women" in the US presidential debates, we believe that it is our responsibility to respond through our inquiry to the violent reinscription of intersecting forms of injustice and marginalization. The purposes of this volume are therefore (1) to demonstrate personal actions taken by researchers to deal with thoughts/feelings of despair as well as how to move toward survival, and (2) to explore historical, new, and rethought research and activist methodologies (frameworks) as counter measures broadly and for public education specifically. Examples of CQI as resistance in response to the particular neoliberal patriarchal, whitelash presidential election event are provided by featured authors. Additionally, resources related to activist scholarship are provided. These frameworks, resources, and perspectives are also useful for future research in reaction to neoliberalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy.
Perfect for courses such as: Qualitative Research, Curriculum Studies, Women and Gender Studies, Race and Ethnic Studies, Sociology of Education, Social Justice and Education, Democracy and Civics, Community Engagement, Policy Studies, Critical Race Theory, Intersectional Studies, Posthuman Inquiry, and Activism and Performance Inquiry.

Описание: It's 4:30 in the morning, and the "book woman" and her horse are already on their way. Hers is an important job, for the folks along her treacherous route are eager for the tattered books and magazines she carries in her saddlebags.
During the Great Depression, thousands lived on the brink of starvation. Many perished. In 1935 President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the Works Progress Administration under his 1933 New Deal initiative. The WPAˆ€ˆwas designed to get people back on their feet. One of its most innovative programs was the Pack Horse Library Project of Eastern Kentucky.
Thoroughly researched and illustrated with period photographs, this is the story of one of the WPA's greatest successes. People all over the country supported the project's goals. But it was the librarians themselves"€"young, determined, and earning just $28 a month"€"who brought the hope of a wider world to people in the crooks and hollows of Kentucky's Cumberland Mountains.
