Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Village Homes: Present Conditions Suggested Remedies Tvhe Housing question is one of those with which the general public has become familiar in the cry for reform, but that demand has generally been associated with the slums of our towns and cities. In fact the Housing problem in the villages is no whit less serious; but the village hovel does not, from its very charm and quaintness, shock the sense of humanity as does the urban slum. Thus, whilst the ever apparent danger has frightened the Legislature to effective action in the towns, the hidden but no less serious evil has been allowed to grow apace in the villages. The better housing of the rural labourers has been already too long delayed. The evil condi tions that exist, together with the dearth of cottages throughout the countryside, are sapping the very life-blood of the nation. The young people are driven away from'the villages of their birth, for they cannot marry and make for themselves a home. They go to the great cities and to the towns, or to the Colonies beyond the seas; year by year, the countryside has been denuded of those it can least afford to spare; the land is mourning her best sons and daughters; the whole nation is suffering from the drain. At last men are beginning to realize that these conditions are a national danger, and a menace to the future of the State. The man in the street is making up his mind that they must not be permitted to endure. At such a time - when every drop in the ocean of thought which makes for conviction, and every grain in the balance of opinion which makes for action, will be of worth in the search for a solution - any little knowledge possessed, or experience gained, must be thrown into the ocean or placed upon the balance. Many years spent in the life of a village, sights there seen, experience there gained, have enabled me to realize conditions and to estimate results, which are not apparent to others who have not lived the life. To those who have not enjoyed such opportunities to see behind the veil, I specially appeal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Homes and Haunts written by Alison Booth and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-08 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first full-length study of literary tourism in North America as well as Britain, and a unique exploration of popular response to writers, literary house museums, and the landscapes or "countries " associated with their lives and works. An interdisciplinary study ranging from 1820-1940, Homes and Haunts: Touring Writers' Shrines and Countries unites museum and tourism studies, book history, narrative theory, theories of gender, space, and things, and other approaches to depict and interpret the haunting experiences of exhibited houses and the curious history of topo-biographical writing about famous authors. In illustrated chapters that blend Victorian and recent first-person encounters that range from literary shrines and plaques to guidebooks, memoirs, portraits, and monuments, Alison Booth discusses pilgrims such as William and Mary Howitt, Anna Maria and Samuel Hall, and Elbert Hubbard, and magnetic hosts and guests as Washington Irving, Wordsworth, Martineau, Longfellow, Hawthorne, James, and Dickens. Virginia Woolf's feminist response to homes and haunts shapes a chapter on Mary Russell Mitford, Gaskell, and the Brontës, and another on the Carlyles' house and Monk's House. Booth rediscovers collections of personalities, haunted shrines, and imaginative re-enactments that have been submerged by a century of academic literary criticism.

Download or read book United They Survive written by Showkat Hayat Khan and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 1999 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: United They Survive examines the relationship between rural elites and the impoverished majority in contemporary Bangladesh. This relationship is both demonstrated and reinforced by the traditional practices of dana-pana (giving-taking) and dan-khairat (redistribution) that operates between the classes. Showkat Khan argues that the culturally mandated redistribution of wealth from rich to poor is not only vital to the survival of most rural Bangladeshis but also determines the shape of local politics. Moreover, these redistributive practices instill a sense of unity among members of the village community, regardless of personal wealth or status. This book will have especially strong appeal for anthropologists, international social workers, scholars of South Asia, and community organizers in the United States and abroad.
