A glance at the map shows the southwestern extremity of the province of Quebec to be a wedge-shaped bit of territory; the St. Lawrence on one side, the United States on the other. All that is related is associated with this corner of Canada. The book's name comes from the newspaper in which most of the tales first appeared. The book attempts to convey, in a readable form, an idea of an era in the life of Canada which has passed—that of its first settlement by emigrants from the British Isles—and to give an account of two striking episodes in its history, the invasion under Hampton and the year of the ship fever. These are historically correct; the briefer tales are based on actual incidents in the lives of early settlers in the old county of Huntingdon.
The Pain Tree tells stories that speak to all aspects of Jamaican life. Among the characters we hear from are: poor folk making the best of past hardships (“Coal”); rich folk plotting future selfishness (“The Goodness of My Heart”); an old man, familiar with darkness, who discovers in foreign capitalism a force even he cannot control (“Boxed-In”); a young girl, uprooted to a new country, forced to shoulder her mother’s unspoken burdens in addition to her own (“Lollipop”). Bookending these are two powerful stories about the inextricability of home and history: in “The Pain Tree,” the protagonist comes to realize the love she has abandoned, and the pain she has left behind; in “Flying,” the lead character, searching for that which has been missing most of his life, comes home for good. Senior navigates the hills and valleys of narrative with natural ease, interweaving thick strands of emotion and insight yet never losing sight of a story’s ebb and flow. Her Pain Tree is an engaging, thought-provoking read that transports readers fully to another place, where the unfamiliar and exciting clash and commingle with the universal.

Selected Writings of Judith Sargent Murray by Judith Sargent Murray Pdf
* Includes selections from The Gleaner, her major work, and other publications As a novelist, essayist, dramatist, and poet, Judith Sargent Murray candidly and often humorously asserted her opinions about the social and political conditions of women in late eighteenth-century America. As a committed feminist, she urged American women to enter a 'new era in female history', yet published her own writings under a man's name in the hopes of more widely disseminating her ideas.
THE GLEANER by Stephen LeslieLand is a main character in this novel along with the people Danny Sweeney meets as he makes his way across the continent---Amish folk, migrant farm workers, Native Americans, rodeo cowboys---people who are living out their lives still connected to the working landscape amid the tectonic shifts in American society wrought by the counterculture of the 1960's. Orphaned after his father's accidental death and alienated from his older brother who intends to sell the family farm, Danny feels the ground of his being slipping away. He flees, aimlessly heading west, following the peregrination of the sun. Of Irish and Native American heritage, he knows the loneliness of the mixed-race child, belonging everywhere and nowhere. Yet an inner confidence forged by the hard work and discipline of being raised as a farm kid leads him to form strong bonds with the people he works with, lives with and learns from, relationships and experiences that help him mature from late adolescence into young manhood, from self-abandonment to self discovery. More than a coming of age story, it is a paean to our lost heritage---our vital connection to land and working animals and to the earth itself. Stephen Leslie owns and operates a horse-powered organic dairy and vegetable farm in Hartland, VT.
JAMAICA: Teal blue waters, sandy beaches, scintillating cuisine, globally renown rum and Blue Mountain coffee. One hundred fifty years under Spanish rule and then three hundred years under English dominion. Early spectacular hotels, then spectacular all-inclusives resorts. Hippies came to Negril and made it the “Capital of Casual.” Bob Marley spread reggae music worldwide and became a major tourism promoter for the island adding to the glitz from the English celebrities of the 1950s who came to the North Coast. Errol Flynn, Ian Fleming, and Noel Coward attracted jet setters to the island as did fictional super spy James Bond, Agent 007. Tourism growth and development, measured and conservative, free-flowing and exuberant – all existing in a dynamic, remarkable and one-of-a-kind setting. Jamaica, a cacophony of sights and delights. Ya mon, come to Jamaica, an island paradise that has it all.
Illuminates how the Rastafari movement managed to evolve in the face of severe biases Misunderstood, misappropriated, belittled: though the Rastafari feature frequently in media and culture, they have most often been misrepresented, their political and religious significance minimized. But they have not been vanquished. Charles Price’s Rastafari: The Evolution of a People and Their Identity reclaims the rich history of this relatively new world religion. Charting its humble and rebellious roots in Jamaica’s backcountry in the late nineteenth century to the present day, Price explains how Jamaicans’ obsession with the Rastafari wavered from campaigns of violence to appeasement and cooptation. Indeed, he argues that the Rastafari as a political, religious, and cultural movement survived the biases and violence they faced through their race consciousness and uncanny ability to ride the waves of anti-colonialism and Black Power. This social movement traveled throughout the Caribbean, Africa, Central America, and the United States, capturing the heart and imagination of much of the African diaspora. Rastafari spans the movement’s struggle for autonomy, its multiple campaigns for repatriation to Africa, and its leading role in the Black consciousness movements of the twentieth century. Not satisfied with simply narrating the past, Rastafari also takes on the challenges of gender equality and the commodification of Rastafari culture in the twenty-first century without abandoning its message of equality and empowering the downpressed. Rastafari shows how this cultural and political context helped to shape the development of a Black collective identity, demonstrating how Rastafarians confronted society-wide ridicule and oppression and emerged prouder and more united, steadfast in their conviction that they were a chosen people.
The Rise and Fall of Early American Magazine Culture by Jared Gardner Pdf
Countering assumptions about early American print culture and challenging our scholarly fixation on the novel, Jared Gardner reimagines the early American magazine as a rich literary culture that operated as a model for nation-building by celebrating editorship over authorship and serving as a virtual salon in which citizens were invited to share their different perspectives. The Rise and Fall of Early American Magazine Culture reexamines early magazines and their reach to show how magazine culture was multivocal and presented a porous distinction between author and reader, as opposed to novel culture, which imposed a one-sided authorial voice and restricted the agency of the reader.
Speculative Fictions places Alexander Hamilton at the center of American literary history to consider the important intersections between economics and literature. By studying Hamilton as an economic and imaginative writer, it argues that we can recast the conflict with the Jeffersonians as a literary debate about the best way to explain and describe modern capitalism, and explores how various other literary forms allow us to comprehend the complexities of a modern global economy in entirely new ways. Speculative Fictions identifies two overlooked literary genres of the late eighteenth-century as exemplary of this narrative mode. It asks that we read periodical essays and Black Atlantic captivity narratives with an eye not towards bourgeois subject formation, but as descriptive analyses of economic systems. In doing so, we discover how these two literary genres offer very different portraits of a global economy than that rendered by the novel, the imaginative genre we are most likely to associate with modern capitalism. Developing an aesthetic appreciation for the speculative, digressive, and unsystematic plotlines of these earlier narratives has the capacity to generate new imaginative projects with which to make sense of our increasingly difficult economic world.
