Soldiers of Light and Love by Jacqueline Jones Pdf

Soldiers of Light and Love is an acclaimed study of the reform-minded northerners who taught freed slaves in the war-torn Reconstruction South. Jacqueline Jones's book, first published in 1980, focuses on the nearly three hundred women who served in Georgia in the chaotic decade following the Civil War. Commissioned by the American Missionary Association and other freedmen's aid societies, these middle-class New Englanders saw themselves as the postbellum, evangelical heirs of the abolitionist cause. Specific in compass, but wide-ranging in significance, Soldiers of Light and Love illuminates the complexity of class, race, and gender issues in early Victorian America.

Acting White by Stuart Buck Pdf

Commentators from Bill Cosby to Barack Obama have observed the phenomenon of black schoolchildren accusing studious classmates of "acting white." How did this contentious phrase, with roots in Jim Crow-era racial discord, become a part of the schoolyard lexicon, and what does it say about the state of racial identity in the American system of education?The answer, writes Stuart Buck in this frank and thoroughly researched book, lies in the complex history of desegregation. Although it arose from noble impulses and was to the overall benefit of the nation, racial desegegration was often implemented in a way that was devastating to black communities. It frequently destroyed black schools, reduced the numbers of black principals who could serve as role models, and made school a strange and uncomfortable environment for black children, a place many viewed as quintessentially "white."Drawing on research in education, history, and sociology as well as articles, interviews, and personal testimony, Buck reveals the unexpected result of desegregation and suggests practical solutions for making racial identification a positive force in the classroom.

In Love and War: Kiwi soldiers' romantic encounters by Susan Jacobs Pdf

When New Zealand forces arrived in Italy following the 1943 Armistice with the Allied forces, it was inevitable they would mingle with the local population. The Italians opened their homes and hearts to the New Zealand soldiers who delighted in finding young Italian signorinas everywhere. In Love and War tells of the liaisons and love affairs of New Zealand soldiers and their Italian sweethearts during World War Two. For some the result was marriage, leading to a new and often strained life for the Italian war brides on the other side of the world. For others, their wartime romance ended in heartbreaking separation when the Kiwi soldiers were posted elsewhere or returned home. Unknowingly, some left behind children who would grow up without ever meeting their natural fathers. While the New Zealand commanding officers did their very best to curtail fraternisation between Kiwi soldiers and the civilian population, for servicemen starved of female company relationships were easy to fall into. These touching stories of their romantic wartime encounters reveal the human side of war.

Growing Pains by Priscilla Ferguson Clement Pdf

In Growing Pains: Children in the Industrial Age, 1850-1890, the respected scholar Priscilla Ferguson Clement presents an unparalleled survey of the experience of American childhood during this turbulent era. Approaching her subject thematically, Clement chronicles the situation of American children in the spheres of home life, schooling, employment, and play. Detailed attention is given to distilling and clarifying the historical events shaping children's lives during this period, from the Civil War's impact on the children of freed slaves to urbanization's effect on the children of unskilled immigrant laborers; from the rise of the Boy and Girl Scouts and the American Federation of Labor to the grave economic downturns of the 1870s and 1880s; and from the child-rearing practices of Victorian times to the social institutions established to address child poverty and delinquency. Throughout, Clement imbues her text with crisp details and an arresting perspective on the ways in which race, sex, geography, and growing class distinctions influenced all facets of children's lives.
