Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era of suspicion and of terrorism, it is refreshing to know people REALLY do help people. My husband was from St. Augustine, Florida. During his six months' battle with stomach cancer, our family of four was financially and emotionally supported 100% by the townspeople. $5, $10 and $20s arrived in get-well cards for one full year. The miracles of giving were astounding. No bills went unpaid, no meals were forgotten, boxes of paper goods arrived, holiday gifts and decorations were donated, firewood delivered, our home was painted, the giving was extraordinary...from the hearts of caring kind people. A whole town helped our family survive through sickness and the subsequent death of my beloved husband and young father to our sons.

Book Tobacco Town Futures

Download or read book Tobacco Town Futures written by Ann E. Kingsolver and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2010-12-29 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated between the foothills of Appalachia to the east and bluegrass country to the west, Nicholas County has been home to small tobacco farms in rural Kentucky for the past 200 years. But now, in the midst of tremendous economic changes generated by the movement of both textile jobs and tobacco production to other countries, residents of Nicholas County face an uncertain future. Based on twenty-five years of research, Kingsolvers longitudinal ethnography of Nicholas County, her home community, synthesizes geographical, historical, economic, and political processes that have shaped lifeways and worldviews. She documents the perspectives of farmers, factory workers, politicians, those pursuing new niches in the labor market, and middle school students in search of alternative futures. Countering stereotypes, Kingsolver emphasizes the skills and agency of rural residents and demonstrates how people in widely dispersed and seemingly isolated communities in the world are connected through capitalist logic and practice, thereby illuminating globalizations far-reaching effects.

Book Embracing Fry Bread

Download or read book Embracing Fry Bread written by Roger L. Welsch and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When he was out playing Indian, enacting Hollywood-inspired scenarios, it never occurred to the child Roger Welsch that the little girl sitting next to him in school was Indian. A lifetime of learning later, Welsch’s enthusiasm is undimmed, if somewhat more enlightened. In Embracing Fry Bread Welsch tells the story of his lifelong relationship with Native American culture, which, beginning in earnest with the study of linguistic practices of the Omaha tribe during a college anthropology course, resulted in his becoming an adopted member and kin of both the Omaha and the Pawnee tribes. With requisite humility and a healthy dose of humor, Welsch describes his long pilgrimage through Native life, from lessons in the vagaries of “Indian time” and the difficulties of reservation life, to the joy of being allowed to participate in special ceremonies and developing a deep and lasting love of fry bread. Navigating another culture is a complicated task, and Welsch shares his mistakes and successes with engaging candor. Through his serendipitous wanderings, he finds that the more he learns about Native culture the more he learns about himself—and about a way of life whose allure offers true insight into indigenous America.
