Book excerpt: "Repeopling Vermont: The Paradox of Development in the Twentieth Century, by historian Paul Searls, traces two distinct but interrelated stories to illuminate the fundamental contradictions and ironies that defined Vermont in the twentieth century. One is the story of a group of Swedish immigrants who settled in and around Landgrove in the 1890s and their descendants. The other is the story of Samuel R. Ogden, who beginning in 1929 purchased most of the buildings in the main village of Landgrove and set out to revitalize the town. Ogden succeeded in that project and subsequently became an important public servant to Vermont; he was instrumental in the growth of the ski industry, and was a founder of both Vermont Life magazine and the Vermont Natural Resources Council. These intertwined stories reveal the central paradox of Vermont in the twentieth century. The state's leaders simultaneously saw Vermont's overwhelmingly rural character as both a distressing problem in need of a solution, and the state's greatest asset. But their efforts to preserve Vermont's precious rural heritage, it's human and physical landscapes, while at the same time improving the state, also put that same way of life in peril. Those developments continue to reverberate throughout Vermont in the twenty-first century, shaping the experience of everyone who lives in or visits the Green Mountain State today"--

Book Synopsis "Vermont for the Vermonters" by : Mercedes de Guardiola
Download or read book "Vermont for the Vermonters" written by Mercedes de Guardiola and published by Stylus Publishing, LLC. This book was released on 2023-11-24 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eugenics is a pseudo- scientific field of selective human breeding that rose to prominence in the early 1900s and was the foundation of Nazi Germany. Vermont was one of many American states to adopt eugenics as the basis for public policies such as family separation, institutionalization, and sterilization that targeted the most vulnerable Vermonters and led to widespread intergenerational damage. In 2021, the state formally apologized for the practice, and the legislature is exploring ongoing responses. "Vermont for the Vermonters" is the result of years of research and new scholarship into the story of the eugenics movement in the state. Examining developments from poor farms to mental institutions and public campaigns under Governor Mead and University of Vermont professor Henry Perkins, Mercedes de Guardiola demonstrates the underlying social and political landscape that helped pave the way for strong support of Vermont’s eugenics policies, determined how they were implemented and carried out, and resulted in a devastating cost for Vermonters. She regrounds Vermont’s actions and policies in the larger context of the state and the nation’s public policies, allowing us to better understand the motivations and long-range consequences of the movement.

Book Synopsis Refugees in New Destinations and Small Cities by : Pablo S. Bose
Download or read book Refugees in New Destinations and Small Cities written by Pablo S. Bose and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the last two decades, refugees, like other immigrants, have been settling in newer locations throughout the US and other countries. No longer are refugees to be found only in major metropolitan areas and gateway cities; instead, they are arriving in small towns, rural areas, rustbelt cities, and suburbs. What happens to them in these new destinations and what happens to the places that receive them? Drawing on a decade’s worth of interviews, surveys, spatial analysis and community-based projects with key informants, Dr Pablo Bose argues that the value of refugee newcomers to their new homes cannot be underestimated.

Download or read book White Cargo written by Don Jordan and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2008-03-08 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: White Cargo is the forgotten story of the thousands of Britons who lived and died in bondage in Britain's American colonies. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, more than 300,000 white people were shipped to America as slaves. Urchins were swept up from London's streets to labor in the tobacco fields, where life expectancy was no more than two years. Brothels were raided to provide "breeders" for Virginia. Hopeful migrants were duped into signing as indentured servants, unaware they would become personal property who could be bought, sold, and even gambled away. Transported convicts were paraded for sale like livestock. Drawing on letters crying for help, diaries, and court and government archives, Don Jordan and Michael Walsh demonstrate that the brutalities usually associated with black slavery alone were perpetrated on whites throughout British rule. The trade ended with American independence, but the British still tried to sell convicts in their former colonies, which prompted one of the most audacious plots in Anglo-American history. This is a saga of exploration and cruelty spanning 170 years that has been submerged under the overwhelming memory of black slavery. White Cargo brings the brutal, uncomfortable story to the surface.
