Download or read book Daisy Turner s Kin written by Jane C. Beck and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A daughter of freed African American slaves, Daisy Turner became a living repository of history. The family narrative entrusted to her--"a well-polished artifact, an heirloom that had been carefully preserved"--began among the Yoruba in West Africa and continued with her own century and more of life. In 1983, folklorist Jane Beck began a series of interviews with Turner, then one hundred years old and still relating four generations of oral history. Beck uses Turner's storytelling to build the Turner family saga, using at its foundation the oft-repeated touchstone stories at the heart of their experiences: the abduction into slavery of Turner's African ancestors; Daisy's father Alec Turner learning to read; his return as a soldier to his former plantation to kill his former overseer; and Daisy's childhood stand against racism. Other stories re-create enslavement and her father's life in Vermont--in short, the range of life events large and small, transmitted by means so alive as to include voice inflections. Beck, at the same time, weaves in historical research and offers a folklorist's perspective on oral history and the hazards--and uses--of memory. Publication of this book is supported by grants from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the L. J. and Mary C. Skaggs Folklore Fund.

Download or read book Plum s Pleasure written by Gehla S. Knight and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007-11 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can virtue be found in a turn-of-the-century bordello? Can a frontier teacher stand idly by as the Shoshone culture is subsumed by Anglo missionaries? Can a suburban lawyer justify that his casual dalliances don't amount to infidelity? From the opulent parlor of an 1898 Seattle bordello to a Portland law firm in 1989, each heroine, hero, and villain in this memorable collection of short stories is captured at a crossroads in life. They are ordinary people: brave, timid, foolhardy, modest, brazen, and often self-sacrificing. And they struggle with the budding concerns of their time-women's suffrage, chauvinistic double-standards, prejudice, misogyny, and the loneliness of separation brought on by war. Gehla S. Knight deftly explores these issues without reserve, placing her characters in crisis situations where they must act despite the murkiness of what's right and what's wrong. In small but powerful ways, their choices challenge the prevailing views of their time and blaze new trails that those who follow can easily travel. Juxtaposing society's often ill-conceived mores with individual will and desire, Knight deftly combines historical settings with colloquial dialogue and vivid characters. Spanning nearly a century of American history, Plum's Pleasure is a satisfying collection that will tantalize both your senses and sensibilities.

He and his men are accused of abducting with the attempt to assassinate Luna Queen Lily Wolfe, the wife of Alpha King Boone Wolfe of the Wolferaine. If convicted, Prince Steele can face capital punishment. While King Wolfe is his enemy, Prince Steele never has a plan to harm the king’s wife. Especially since the queen is Prince Steele’s own cousin. But if he was not the one who abducted the queen, then who? Somebody was framing him and his men, and the clock was ticking. They need to know the answer fast, otherwise they will have to march to the gallows. The only person fits the profile is Prince Steele’s twin brother, Alpha Prince Damon North. That makes little sense since Prince Damon died six years ago. King Wolfe himself had killed him. Camellia Collins doesn’t know that her fated mate, Prince Damon, has died. People said that Prince Damon was savage and predatory, but Camellia refuses to believe that. Damon that she knew was a kind man who cared for the weak. He was not a vicious prince who had an ambition to rule the strongest kingdom in the whole shifters’ world. It was clear to Camellia that Prince Damon was the victim of a conspiracy. But who would frame Damon? There can only be one person who fits the description: Alpha Prince Steele North. The man wants to be the King of the Northernland, and will have the position by any means necessary. Well, not on Camellia’s watch. They need to stop him, and Camellia will be the person who does the job. There’s only one problem. Alpha Prince Steele North too is Camellia’s fated mate.
