Download or read book White Unwed Mother The adoption mandate in postwar Canada written by Valerie J Andrews and published by Demeter Press. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In postwar Canada, having a child out-of-wedlock invariably meant being subject to the adoption mandate. Andrews describes the mandate as a process of interrelated institutional power systems which, together with socio-cultural norms, ideals of gender heteronormativity, and emerging sociological and psychoanalytic theories, created historically unique conditions in the post WWII decades wherein the white unmarried mother was systematically separated from her baby by means of adoption. This volume uncovers and substantiates evidence of the mandate, ultimately finding that at least 350,000 unmarried mothers in Canada were impacted.

Download or read book The Imprint of Another Life written by Margaret Homans and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Imprint of Another Life: Adoption Narratives and Human Possibilityaddresses a series of questions about common beliefs about adoption. Underlying these beliefs is the assumption that human qualities are innate and intrinsic, an assumption often held by adoptees and their families, sometimes at great emotional cost. This book explores representations of adoption—transracial, transnational, and domestic same-race adoption—that reimagine human possibility by questioning this assumption and conceiving of alternatives. Literary scholar Margaret Homans examines fiction making’s special relationship to themes of adoption, an “as if” form of family making, fabricated or fictional instead of biological or “real.” Adoption has tended to generate stories rather than uncover bedrock truths. Adoptive families are made, not born; in the words of novelist Jeanette Winterson, “adopted children are self-invented because we have to be.” In attempting to recover their lost histories and identities, adoptees create new stories about themselves. While some believe that adoptees cannot be whole unless they reconnect with their origins, others believe that privileging biology reaffirms hierarchies (such as those of race) that harm societies and individuals. Adoption is lived and represented through an irresolvable tension between belief in the innate nature of human traits and belief in their constructedness, contingency, and changeability. The book shows some of the ways in which literary creation, and a concept of adoption as a form of creativity, manages this tension. The texts examined include fiction (e.g., classic novels such as Silas Marner, What Maisie Knew, and Beloved); memoirs by adoptees, adoptive parents, and birthmothers; drama, documentary films, advice manuals, social science writing; and published interviews with adoptees, parents, and birth parents. Along the way the book tracks the quests of adoptees who, whether or not they meet their original families, must construct their own stories rather than finding them; follows transnational adoptees as they return, hopes held high, to Korea and China; looks over the shoulders of a generation of girls adopted from China as they watch Disney’s iconic Mulan, with its alluring story of destiny written on the skin; and listens to birthmothers as they struggle to tell painful secrets held for decades. This book engages in debates within adoption studies, women’s and gender studies, transnational studies, and ethnic studies; it will appeal to literary scholars and critics, including specialists in memoir or narrative theory, and to general readers interested in adoption and in race.
Download or read book Legilimens written by Christopher E. Bell and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-01-03 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current state of scholarship surrounding Harry Potter is both vibrant and varied. One of the reasons scholars continue to be attracted to the series as an artifact is the colossal range of disciplinary foci that can find treasures to unearth in its pages and films. In the Harry Potter series, “legilimens” is the spell that allows a wizard to see into another person’s mind, reading the subject’s thoughts. As such, it is an appropriate moniker for the attempt of scholars to see into the Harry Potter texts and search for greater meaning. Legilimens!: Perspecives in Harry Potter Studies contains the work of anthropologists and theologians, of historians and rhetoricians. The collection is a wide-ranging discussion of the Harry Potter texts (and the meanings contained within) among scholars from broadly disparate fields, coming together to deliberate over the greater scholarly significance of these rich and fertile texts.

Download or read book Victim to Victor written by Christopher McKeon and published by Tőteppit Press. This book was released on 2024-01-06 with total page 1413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the mighty (rich) fall. Remember the Moonie-inspired assassination of Japan's former prime minister, Shinzo Abe, in July 2022? In late 2023 the Japanese government asked the courts to dissolve the Japanese Unification Church and mulled legislation to strip its assets for victim reparations. A timely moment to reflect on a powerfully new, now self-destructed, religious experience by an eyewitness. In 1981 Sun Myung Moon's message of unconditional love revitalizes an idealistic, embittered disabled veteran. But it's more a Bushido-flavored Imperial Japanese Caesarism than God's individual liberty. Broken on the rack of faith, Chris locks horns with victimocracy's blame game. He hits rock bottom then an agonizing but liberating rebirth from guilt, domestic violence, fanaticism, excommunication, shipwreck, a shattering depression, imploding faith, near suicide, and shirking. Snarky. Exciting. The first to analyze the nuts and bolts of America's Unification Church from its missionary and business trenches to its top leaders told by the shark's meal charging headlong down its gullet. Chris' 21-year odyssey gravels along from recruitment to serial rejection, street hack to lauded manager, livid victim to joyful victor. If you were ever a Unificationist or some stripe of idealogue; a domestic violence victim or maybe a perpetrator; a near-suicide feeling crushed 'neath life's ironshod boot or love's heartless hate; or just can't stop shooting holes in your feet, this book might open your awareness to paralyzing, scapegoating victimism and a path of transitioning to your own life-giving victorism. It couldn't hurt.
