Download or read book Freedom Papers written by Rebecca J. Scott and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-27 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around 1785, a woman was taken from her home in Senegambia and sent to Saint-Domingue in the Caribbean. Those who enslaved her there named her Rosalie. Her later efforts to escape slavery were the beginning of a family's quest, across five generations and three continents, for lives of dignity and equality. Freedom Papers sets the saga of Rosalie and her descendants against the background of three great antiracist struggles of the nineteenth century: the Haitian Revolution, the French Revolution of 1848, and the Civil War and Reconstruction in the United States. Freed during the Haitian Revolution, Rosalie and her daughter Elisabeth fled to Cuba in 1803. A few years later, Elisabeth departed for New Orleans, where she married a carpenter, Jacques Tinchant. In the 1830s, with tension rising against free persons of color, they left for France. Subsequent generations of Tinchants fought in the Union Army, argued for equal rights at Louisiana's state constitutional convention, and created a transatlantic tobacco network that turned their Creole past into a commercial asset. Yet the fragility of freedom and security became clear when, a century later, Rosalie's great-great-granddaughter Marie-José was arrested by Nazi forces occupying Belgium. Freedom Papers follows the Tinchants as each generation tries to use the power and legitimacy of documents to help secure freedom and respect. The strategies they used to overcome the constraints of slavery, war, and colonialism suggest the contours of the lives of people of color across the Atlantic world during this turbulent epoch.

When Miss Lucia Foxe is robbed by a band of shadowy highwaymen, she does not realize this frightening event will change her life forever. Her brave quest to retrieve her stolen locket brings her into close contact with the thieves and their dashing and fearless masked leader, Len Hawkins. But there is more to Len than meets the eye. Beneath the robberÕs mask lies a woman who, in her heart, is not really so very different from Lucia. As their unlikely love grows against the backdrop of the poverty and violent protest of Regency England, Lucia learns how much more there is to the world than her upbringing has taught her. Len flirts with death every day, and eventually, an attempt at exacting revenge on her cruel father threatens to snatch her from LuciaÕs arms. Will Len survive her encounter with death and avoid the retribution of the agents of justice? And can respectable gentlewoman Lucia love Len enough to sacrifice everything she knows?
Download or read book New Chronicles of Rebecca Illustrated Edition written by Kate Douglas Wiggin and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-26 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "New Chronicles of Rebecca" continues "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm." They provide a series of stories about a creative child who is sent to live with rigid relatives in a small town due to the inability of her widowed mother to support her, an onerous mortgage, and her siblings. In the first book, we see how, slowly, the child Rebecca is able to bring change to her surroundings; these changes continue in the New Chronicles. Rebecca is an imaginative girl who writes poetry and stories constantly, but struggles to work within her environment (e.g., the same displeasing porcupine quills in her hat instead of lovely, yet extravagant feathers). Her winning ways save the stolen flag for the town's flag ceremony, and help her to find friends throughout the town - but her overzealous missionary efforts result in the offense of a curmudgeon who neglects to attend church as regularly as he ought. We hear how Rebecca's relationships with Emma Jane and Miranda mature, and what happens with her mother and siblings, her original home and Sunnybrook farm. We don't quite hear what happens with Rebecca's long term happiness - i.e. marriage (we certainly are provided with hints), but Emma Jane's future is secured. It's good to get some resolution, and Rebecca matured into an excellent character: Adapted from Jimmy Lee - https: //www.goodreads.com/book/show/884055.New_Chronicles_of_Rebecca This edition of the book contains the five original illustrations, rejuvenated.
Download or read book More Perfect Unions written by Rebecca L. Davis and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-31 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American fixation with marriage, so prevalent in today's debates over marriage for same-sex couples, owes much of its intensity to a small group of reformers who introduced Americans to marriage counseling in the 1930s. Today, millions of couples seek help to save their marriages each year. Over the intervening decades, marriage counseling has powerfully promoted the idea that successful marriages are essential to both individuals' and the nation's well-being. Rebecca Davis reveals how couples and counselors transformed the ideal of the perfect marriage as they debated sexuality, childcare, mobility, wage earning, and autonomy, exposing both the fissures and aspirations of American society. From the economic dislocations of the Great Depression, to more recent debates over government-funded "Healthy Marriage" programs, counselors have responded to the shifting needs and goals of American couples. Tensions among personal fulfillment, career aims, religious identity, and socioeconomic status have coursed through the history of marriage and explain why the stakes in the institution are so fraught for the couples involved and for the communities to which they belong. Americans care deeply about marriages—their own and other people's—because they have made enormous investments of time, money, and emotion to improve their own relationships and because they believe that their personal decisions about whom to marry or whether to divorce extend far beyond themselves. This intriguing book tells the uniquely American story of a culture gripped with the hope that, with enough effort and the right guidance, more perfect marital unions are within our reach.
