Book excerpt: For Napoleon's stepdaughter, nothing is simple - especially love. Paris, 1798. Hortense de Beauharnais is engrossed in her studies at a boarding school for aristocratic girls, most of whom have suffered tragic losses during the tumultuous days of the French Revolution. She loves to play and compose music, read and paint, and daydream about Christophe, her brother's dashing fellow officer. But Hortense is not an ordinary girl. Her beautiful, charming mother, Josephine, has married Napoleon Bonaparte, soon to become the most powerful man in France, but viewed by Hortense at the outset as a coarse, unworthy successor to her elegant father, who was guillotined during the Terror. Where will Hortense's future lie? it may not be in her power to decide. Inspired by Hortense's real-life autobiography with charming glimpses of life long ago, this is the story of a girl destined by fate to play a role she didn't choose.

Download or read book Just Everyday Folks written by L.R. Warner and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-08-27 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In L.R. Warners latest publication, Just Everyday Folks, An Adirondack Family 1925 1950, she chronicles the life of her family living in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State during that era. Follow the story of a father who swore it was his duty as a man to make a living for his family, independent from outside help. With this belief came the idea it was his civil right to procure whatever could be gleaned from the land, regardless of environmental rules and regulations. This attitude quickly led to trouble. See a mother as a determined woman able to make do with whatever was available, and expand on any opportunity existing. Death is so very much a part of life, she told her children, conditioning them to face-up to whatever fate had in store. Two brothers age from youthful shenanigans, to walk in their fathers footsteps while learning to hunt, trap, and fish. Everyday living meant having no electricity, no indoor plumbing or centralized heating. Communication was only by snail-mail, which was often read as history by the time it was received. Babies were born at home. Illness was treated with simple remedies, often homemade. Invention was the greater part of recreation. Faith was practiced more through neighborly acts of charity than organized religion. Most holidays recognized today were treated as just another day. These subjects, and others, are written as anecdotes and smack of a life of deprivation for the family, yet as recalled by the author, We did not miss what we never expected to have. L.R. Warners former book, entitled From the Blackest Cloud, is a memorial of life after 1950 for one member of the family. With the Twenty-first Century spirit of giving back, royalties of both books are given to charity; the first to assist children with disabilities in reaching their highest potential, and the second, of Just Everyday Folks, to help brighten the days of residents at an Adirondack nursing home.

Download or read book Transformative Translanguaging Espacios written by Maite T. Sánchez and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contributes to the understanding of the transformative power of incorporating translanguaging, the dynamic language practices of bi/multilingual communities, in the schooling of US Latinx children and youth. It showcases instructional spaces in US education where Latinx children’s and youths’ translanguaging is at the center of their teaching and learning. By centering racialized Latinx bilingual students, including their knowledge systems and cultural and linguistic practices, it transforms the monolingual-white supremacy ideology of many educational spaces. In so doing, racialized bilingual Latinx subjectivities are potentially transformed, as students learn to understand processes of colonization and domination that have robbed them of opportunities to use their entire semiotic repertoire in learning. The book makes a strong theoretical contribution to the field, putting decolonial, post-structuralist understandings of language and bilingualism alongside critical race theory and critical pedagogy.
