Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1834 Harvard dropout Richard Henry Dana Jr. became a common seaman, and soon his Two Years Before the Mast became a classic. Literary acclaim did not erase the young lawyer’s memory of floggings he witnessed aboard ship or undermine his vow to combat injustice. Jeffrey Amestoy tells the story of Dana’s determination to keep that vow.

Download or read book Understanding Cultural Identity in Intervention and Assessment written by Richard H. Dana and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1998 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is it so difficult to provide quality mental health care for multicultural populations? How can quality care be achieved? Understanding Cultural Identity in Intervention and Assessment centers on this dilemma. This text for multicultural courses in counseling, psychotherapy, clinical psychology and social work begins with a description of the existing societal context for mental health services in the United States and the limitations of available services for multicultural populations. It documents the cultural competence a practitioner needs to provide adequate, credible, and potentially beneficial services to diverse clientele. It presents a model for effective culture-specific services that emphasizes the description and understanding of cultural/racial identity and the use of this information to develop cultural formulations to increase the accuracy of diagnoses. To provide examples of this model, the author devotes four chapters to a discussion of mental health services for a variety of domestic groups: African Americans, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Asian Americans, and Hispanic Americans. A valuable supplement to a variety of courses, Understanding Cultural Identity in Intervention and Assessment will enhance studentsÆ understanding of multicultural mental health issues in fields such as clinical/counseling psychology, multicultural psychology, educational psychology, social work, health services, and ethnic studies.

Download or read book Richard Henry Dana Jr.: Two Years Before the Mast & Other Voyages (LOA #161) written by Richard Henry Dana, Jr. and published by . This book was released on 2005-10-06 with total page 950 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume collects three sea-going travel narratives by Richard Henry Dana, Jr., that span 25 years of maritime history, from the age of sail to the age of steam." "Suffering from persistent weakness in his eyes, Dana left Harvard at age 19 and sailed from Boston in 1834 as a common seaman. Two Years Before the Mast (1840) is the account of his voyages around Cape Horn and time ashore in California in the decade before the Gold Rush. Dana's narrative vividly portrays the daily routines and hardships of life at sea, the capriciousness and brutality of merchant ship captains and officers, and the beauty and danger of the southern oceans in winter. Included in an appendix is "Twenty-Four Years After" (1869), in which Dana describes his return to California in 1859-1860 and the immense changes brought about by American annexation, the frenzy of the Gold Rush, and the growing commerce of "a new world, the awakened Pacific."" "Dana first visited Cuba in the winter of 1859 while the possible annexation of the island was being debated in the U.S. Senate. To Cuba and Back (1859) is his account of his trip, during which he toured Havana and a sugar plantation; attended a bullfight; visited churches, hospitals, schools, and prisons; and investigated the impact on Cuban society of slavery and autocratic Spanish rule." "Journal of a Voyage Round the World, 1859-1860 records the 14-month circumnavigation that took Dana to California, Hawaii, China, Japan, Malaya, Ceylon, India, Egypt, and Europe. The journal provides vignettes of frontier life in California, missionary influence in Hawaii, the impact of the Taiping Rebellion and the Second Opium War on China, and the opening of Japan to the West, while capturing the transition from the age of sail to the faster, smaller world created by the steamship and the telegraph."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Richard Henry Dana a Biography, Vol. 1 of 2 written by Charles Francis Adams and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-12 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Richard Henry Dana a Biography, Vol. 1 of 2 Richard Henry Dana, the younger of the name, was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on the first day of August, 1815. He came from an old Massachusetts stock, long resident in the town of his birth, the early records of which contain mention of a Richard Dana in 1640, though how long he had then been in the country, or whence or why he came, does not appear. It has always been the family tradition that this first Richard was of French descent, and it is still thought probable that his ancestors were French Vaudois dwelling in the valleys of Piedmont, where Danas are still found whose families can be traced back for centuries, and whence other Danas may well have been driven by those religious persecutions of which that region was the frequent scene. Whether of Italian or English, and remotely, perhaps, as the name might seem to imply, of Scandinavian origin, the first Richard had a grandson of the same name who was in his time (1700-1772) a prominent lawyer, and in his latter years an active patriot, though he died before the revolutionary troubles culminated. He married (1737) a sister of Edmund Trowbridge, the eminent colonial judge, and by her, in 1743, had a son, Francis, who was a delegate in 1777-9 and '84 from Massachusetts to the Continental Congress, and was appointed by it in 1780 the first American Minister to the Court of Russia.

Download or read book The Palatine Wreck written by Jill Farinelli and published by University Press of New England. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two days after Christmas in 1738, a British merchant ship traveling from Rotterdam to Philadelphia grounded in a blizzard on the northern tip of Block Island, twelve miles off the Rhode Island coast. The ship carried emigrants from the Palatinate and its neighboring territories in what is now southwest Germany. The 105 passengers and crew on board-sick, frozen, and starving-were all that remained of the 340 men, women, and children who had left their homeland the previous spring. They now found themselves castaways, on the verge of death, and at the mercy of a community of strangers whose language they did not speak. Shortly after the wreck, rumors began to circulate that the passengers had been mistreated by the ship's crew and by some of the islanders. The stories persisted, transforming over time as stories do and, in less than a hundred years, two terrifying versions of the event had emerged. In one account, the crew murdered the captain, extorted money from the passengers by prolonging the voyage and withholding food, then abandoned ship. In the other, the islanders lured the ship ashore with a false signal light, then murdered and robbed all on board. Some claimed the ship was set ablaze to hide evidence of these crimes, their stories fueled by reports of a fiery ghost ship first seen drifting in Block Island Sound on the one-year anniversary of the wreck. These tales became known as the legend of the Palatine, the name given to the ship in later years, when its original name had been long forgotten. The flaming apparition was nicknamed the Palatine Light. The eerie phenomenon has been witnessed by hundreds of people over the centuries, and numerous scientific theories have been offered as to its origin. Its continued reappearances, along with the attention of some of nineteenth-century America's most notable writers-among them Richard Henry Dana Sr., John Greenleaf Whittier, Edward Everett Hale, and Thomas Wentworth Higginson-has helped keep the legend alive. This despite evidence that the vessel, whose actual name was the Princess Augusta, was never abandoned, lured ashore, or destroyed by fire. So how did the rumors begin? What really happened to the Princess Augusta and the passengers she carried on her final, fatal voyage? Through years of painstaking research, Jill Farinelli reconstructs the origins of one of New England's most chilling maritime mysteries.
