Download or read book Barbed Voices written by Arthur A. Hansen and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2018-11-05 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barbed Voices is an engaging anthology of the most significant published articles written by the well-known and highly respected historian of Japanese American history Arthur Hansen, updated and annotated for contemporary context. Featuring selected inmates and camp groups who spearheaded resistance movements in the ten War Relocation Authority–administered compounds in the United States during World War II, Hansen’s writing provides a basis for understanding why, when, where, and how some of the 120,000 incarcerated Japanese Americans opposed the threats to themselves, their families, their reference groups, and their racial-ethnic community. What historically was benignly termed the “Japanese American Evacuation” was in fact a social disaster, which, unlike a natural disaster, is man-made. Examining the emotional implications of targeted systemic incarceration, Hansen highlights the psychological traumas that transformed Japanese American identity and culture for generations after the war. While many accounts of Japanese American incarceration rely heavily on government documents and analytic texts, Hansen’s focus on first-person Nikkei testimonies gathered through powerful oral history interviews gives expression to the resistance to this social disaster. Analyzing the evolving historical memory of the effects of wartime incarceration, Barbed Voices presents a new scholarly framework of enduring value. It will be of interest to students and scholars of oral history, US history, public history, and ethnic studies as well as the general public interested in the WWII experience and civil rights.

Download or read book Voices written by Roger Ladd Memmott and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-03-13 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: VOICES - A Gemstone Book (HARDCOVER, DUST JACKET), 250 pages. *** When the World Conspires against you, where do you turn? Kala Westergaard sees herself as a modern-day Joan of Arc, with the unwarranted persecution but without a cause. Orphaned at the age of four, she is raised by her grandmother and aunt until the fateful night when she and her boyfriend, coming back from a party, are run off the road by a deer in the headlights. Before morning breaks, this simple "accident" leads to a series of murders and rape, setting in motion the novel's chain of life-altering passions, passions that speak profoundly of the mysteries of human character and our own personal "voices" that dictate those passions. *** VOICES is an utterly stirring, erotically charged, and morally complex tale of uncompromising honesty, especially for those who can "read between the lines, those telltale white spaces, where only the most naive think nothing resides."

Download or read book How We Got Barb Back written by Margaret Hawkins and published by Conari Press. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Margaret Hawkins spent her girlhood dazzled by her vivacious, high-achieving sister, Barb. Younger than Barb by eleven years, Margaret saw her sister as the star of her family. And no wonder. Barb's high school years were filled with achievement inside and outside of the classroom. After college, Barb married a charming young professor, Karim Shallal, and embraced living abroad with him, when he was offered a full professorship at Basra University in Iraq. That was in 1971. In three years, everything changed. As Margaret Hawkins writes in her new book, How We Got Barb Back: The Story of My Sister's Reawakening after 30 Years of Schizophrenia, "On a promising day in 1974, my family's life blew up. That was the day my beautiful, bright, and very American older sister returned from Iraq. Something had changed during those years she was gone, and the Barb we knew never really returned. That Barb had vanished, and though her husband tried to bring her home, she was already gone." Unimaginable as it might seem, for the next 32 years Barb went undiagnosed and untreated. How We Got Barb Back recounts the story of those years and the steps Margaret Hawkins took to bring her sister back from the depths of crippling mental illness. This story of sisterly love is both full of surprises and profoundly inspiring.

Download or read book Voices from the Gulag written by Tzvetan Todorov and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We also hear from guards, commandants, and bureaucrats whose lives were bound together with the inmates in an absurd drama. Regardless of their grade and duties, all agree that those responsible for these "excesses" were above or below them, yet never they themselves. Accountability is thereby diffused through the many strata of the state apparatus, providing legal defenses and "clear" consciences. Yet, as the concluding section of interviews - with the children and wives of the victims - reminds us, accountability is a moral and historical imperative."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Voices and Books in the English Renaissance written by Jennifer Richards and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Two ideas lie at the heart of this study and its claim that we need a new history of reading: that voices in books can affect us deeply ; that printed books can be brought to life with the voice. Voices and Books offers a new history of reading focussed on the oral and voice-aware silent reader, rather than the historical reader we have privileged in the last few decades, who is invariably male, silent, and alone. It recovers the vocality of education for boys and girls in Renaissance England, and the importance of training in pronuntiatio (delivery) for oral-aural literary culture. It offers the first attempt to recover the voice-and tone-from textual sources. It explores what happens when we bring voice to text, how vocal tone realizes or changes textual meaning, and how the literary writers of the past tried to represent their own and others' voices, as well as manage and exploit the voices of their readers. It offers fresh readings of the key Tudor authors who anticipated oral readers: John Bale, Anne Askew, William Baldwin, Thomas Nashe. And it aims to rethink what a printed book can be, searching the printed page for vocal cues, and exploring the neglected role of the voice in the printing process"-- Provided by publisher.
