Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Family in America since 1620 reaches back to the early years of the European presence in North America to tell how William Brewster, one of the leading Pilgrims on the Mayflower, came to America in 1620. For the author, this is not simply American history, it is his familys story, as he is a descendant of William Brewster on his mothers side of the family. Echoing the work of another ancestor, Benjamin Mayberry Prentiss, who was known for his rope-making, the author twists together the findings from historical research with the collective memory of his own family. This creates the threads of a narrative that is both personal recollection and collective history. Photographs supplement this story, illustrating the people, places, and objects that figured in the history of the authors family. Approaching both types of history in this fashion, My Family in America since 1620 reveals how each eras events touched the life of the authors family. The reader journeys with the Carter Wagon Train from Indiana to Missouri in 1841, into the conflict of the Civil War, through the Depression, onto the battlefields of World War II, and through the highlights of the authors rise to prominence. My Family in America since 1620 promises to tell a distinctive story of the history of the United States and of a family whose roots find their grounding in the Massachusetts Bay Colony and whose branches have grown and spread across the lands of this continent for almost four centuries.

Book excerpt: New Bedford, 1850. Young, strong-willed Eliza Mae Holmes risks her life helping slaves escape through the Underground Railroad. And even though danger prowls the city, Eliza refuses to stay home on this nightand meets the man who will change her life forever. Eliza is saved from an unspeakable fate at the hands of a sadistic criminal by the benevolent and charismatic Charles DaFornas. Though she is instantly enthralled by the handsome Portuguese wine merchant, Eliza wont succumb to his charm. Love is for the faint of heart, after all, even though the very sight of Charles makes her heart sing. When Elizas father arranges for Charles to take Eliza and her mother to England to meet her betrothed, Eliza resolves to stand strong against her growing feelings during the long sea voyage. But being so close to Charles, learning about his culture and his island home of Madeira, only draws her that much closer to him. For his part, Charles is struck by Elizas strength, vitality, and incredible beauty. It is not long before the two succumb to their feelings and tumble headlong into love. But Elizas betrothal still stands and with pressure from her mother to see the marriage through, she must make a devastating choice. Will Eliza find her inner strength and live according to her own truth, or will she lose the one man who has finally captured her heart?

Download or read book The Distant Shores of Freedom written by Subarno Chattarji and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-18 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Distant Shores of Freedom analyses literary works in English written by Vietnamese refugees in the US. Fiction and memoirs by Vietnamese Americans recover stories and memories that are often different from mainstream American ones and that difference enables readers to think of the US war in Vietnam from perspectives that are missing in mainstream representations. Dwelling not only on the war and its aftermaths, Vietnamese American writings also ponder over the existential issues of exile; the idea of home; the pain of marginality and racism; the question of community formation within the US; and the complexity of diasporic lives. Subarno Chattarji raises critical questions such as who gets to speak and write, and to what ends and purposes? Who reads Vietnamese American writings and how can we account for these publications in the US over a period of time? What can and cannot be written or spoken? What is remembered and what is silenced? What traumas and memories are articulated? These questions point towards a larger context of diaspora studies as well as 'the rituals of cultural memory' that complicate our understanding of the Vietnam War and its aftermaths.
