Book excerpt: Leona Ahnen grew up a confirmed tomboy on her family's Southern Wisconsin farm during the 1930s, in the depths of America's Great Depression. Her poignant story, as told to friend and author Kelly Simons, is the recounting of the mutual struggle and never-ending work that bound her family and neighbors to the land and to each other. Leona's Legacy is a heartfelt, true tale of shared toil and celebration, gentle laughter and quiet fear, real suffering and honest joy. Leona's Legacy will take you back to a time when life was hard but simple, work physically demanding but satisfying, and children's imaginations powered them through adventures with Tom Mix and The Lone Ranger as they sat enthralled next to a crystal-powered radio set. Join Leona and her grade school classmates as they scheme to undermine a strict new teacher, go along for a wild ride on a runaway hay wagon, and feel the hair stand up on your neck during family ghost stories. Readers of all ages will appreciate this nostalgic trip over the back roads and barnyards of a rural America still untouched by the horror and cynicism of World War II. Let Leona's Legacy remind you of the real people and community values that still make our country strong. Book jacket.

Download or read book Reflections from Pioneering Women in Psychology written by Jamila Bookwala and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-14 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume traces the life journeys of a cohort of influential and transformative women in psychology, now in or nearing retirement, who have changed the discipline and the broader world of academia in significant ways. The 26 reflective essays record how these scholars thrived in an academic landscape that was often, at best, unwelcoming, and, at worst, hostile, toward them. They explicitly and implicitly acknowledge that their paths were inextricably linked with the evolution of women's roles in society; they highlight and celebrate their achievements as much as they acknowledge and recognize the obstacles, barriers, and hurdles they overcame. They tell their stories with candor and humor, resulting in a compilation of inspiring essays. The end result of these individual narratives is a volume that provides a unique resource for current and future academics to help them navigate through the crossroads, curves, and challenges of their own careers in academia.

Download or read book The Crommelynck Mystery written by Alain Piette and published by Susquehanna University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the authors examine the works of Fernand Crommelynck (1886-1970), whose international reputation was established in 1922, when his most important and most popular play, The Magnanimous Cuckold, was presented in Moscow. Torn between the extremes of laughter and sorrow, frequently violent and visionary, Crommelynck's work is typically Flemish (though written in French), not least in its preoccupation with sin. Pain is always present in his plays, the pain felt by characters living in a world where happiness is destroyed by irrationalism, self-deception, and obsession. Crommelynck's plays humorously show us how human behavior can be dominated by extreme expressions of emotion or desire. The mixture of buffoonery and tragedy characteristic of his theater extends also to his prose style, which presents the most outrageous or gross situations in a language of beautifully sensuous imagery.

Download or read book Understanding James Baldwin written by Marc Dudley and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2019-04-17 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis of the ground-breaking author's vision and thematic concerns The Harlem-born son of a storefront preacher, James Baldwin died almost thirty years ago, but his spirit lives on in the eloquent and still-relevant musings of his novels, short stories, essays, and poems. What concerned him most—as a black man, as a gay man, as an American—were notions of isolation and disconnection at both the individual and communal level and a conviction that only in the transformative power of love could humanity find any hope of healing its spiritual and social wounds. In Understanding James Baldwin, Marc K. Dudley shows that a proper grasp of Baldwin's work begins with a grasp of the times in which he wrote. During a career spanning the civil rights movement and beyond, Baldwin stood at the heart of intellectual and political debate, writing about race, sexual identity, and gendered politics, while traveling the world to promote dialogue on those issues. In surveying the writer's life, Dudley traces the shift in Baldwin's aspirations from occupying the pulpit like his stepfather to becoming a writer amid the turmoil of sexual self-discovery and the harsh realities of American racism and homophobia. The book's analyses of key works in the Baldwin canon—among them, Go Tell It on the Mountain, Giovanni's Room, "Sonny's Blues," Another Country, The Fire Next Time, and The Devil Finds Work—demonstrate the consistency, contrary to some critics' claims, of Baldwin's vision and thematic concerns. As police violence against people of color, a resurgence in white supremacist rhetoric, and pushback against LGBTQ rights fill today's headlines, James Baldwin's powerful and often-angry words find a new resonance. From early on, Baldwin decried the damning potential of alienation and the persistent bigotry that feeds it. Yet, even as it sometimes wavered, his hope for both the individual and the nation remained intact. In the present historical moment, James Baldwin matters more than ever.
