Download or read book Sallie Stockard and the Adversities of an Educated Woman of the New South written by Carole W. Troxler and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2021-12-15 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sallie Stockard (1869-1963), the first female graduate of the University of North Carolina, published three county histories between 1900 and 1904. Thereafter, she lived an obscure and difficult life that reveals much about the many challenges women of that time faced. Encouraged by New South educational mentors, she countered restrictions on women with diligence and self-promotion. Carole Troxler discloses Stockard's professional and personal hindrances, resourcefulness, failures, and triumph, following her to New England, the Southwest, and New York. Like her subject, Troxler lives in Alamance County, and her publications include its history.
Book Synopsis Placental Politics by : Christine Taitano DeLisle
Download or read book Placental Politics written by Christine Taitano DeLisle and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2022-01-06 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1898 until World War II, U.S. imperial expansion brought significant numbers of white American women to Guam, primarily as wives to naval officers stationed on the island. Indigenous CHamoru women engaged with navy wives in a range of settings, and they used their relationships with American women to forge new forms of social and political power. As Christine Taitano DeLisle explains, much of the interaction between these women occurred in the realms of health care, midwifery, child care, and education. DeLisle focuses specifically on the pattera, Indigenous nurse-midwives who served CHamoru families. Though they showed strong interest in modern delivery practices and other accoutrements of American modernity under U.S. naval hegemony, the pattera and other CHamoru women never abandoned deeply held Indigenous beliefs, values, and practices, especially those associated with inafa'maolek--a code of behavior through which individual, collective, and environmental balance, harmony, and well-being were stewarded and maintained. DeLisle uses her evidence to argue for a "placental politics--a new conceptual paradigm for Indigenous women's political action. Drawing on oral histories, letters, photographs, military records, and more, DeLisle reveals how the entangled histories of CHamoru and white American women make us rethink the cultural politics of U.S. imperialism and the emergence of new Indigenous identities.

Book Synopsis Shuttle & Plow by : Carole Watterson Troxler
Download or read book Shuttle & Plow written by Carole Watterson Troxler and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lively two-part narrative, Carole W. Troxler and William M. Vincent place the legacy of Alamance County solidly in the context of regional and national history. Using a broad social scope and the conventional break at 1865, they connect themes and stories across that artificial line. The resulting threads link pre-Civil War divisions with the post-Emancipation violence that made the area the storm center of the state in the 1870s. Thereafter, recovery and renewal depended on leadership, education, and especially labor -- the constant back-and-forth motion of the shuttle across the loom and its parallel, the plow along the furrow.Shuttle & Plow spans more than three centuries, twice the age of the county carved from western Orange County in 1849. The greater Alamance story includes cultural changes over time, including religious dynamics that came to distinguish much of Southern life. Economic currents begin with deerskin trade and the impact that Native American trading paths had on where new arrivals settled. Methods of farming and home manufacturing are explored, along with the functions of crossroads trading and manufacturing centers before the coming of the railroad. After the Civil War, transitions to wage labor and commercial farming reinforced the rise and domination of textiles. Refinements and adjustments in the textile industry and farming are a major twentieth century theme, along with increasing economic diversity. Changes in labor relations and race relations are important features of the county's social heritage.Shuttle & Plow reveals previously untold stories, many in the words of their actors. Its research grasped longstanding thorns, such as the controversial reputation of a Quaker abolitionist/slave owner and the identity of Wyatt Outlaw. Since the book's 1999 publication, its depth and documentation are encouraging learners and established scholars alike to research further into this microcosm of the American South that is Alamance County. North Carolina Libraries calls the book ?a scholars dream . . . and one of the finest county histories in the nation. . . . Shuttle & Plow sets the standard.' The Alamance County Historical Association is pleased to reissue it for a broader market.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new study, Dr. Carole Troxler steps back more than two decades before the pivotal Battle of Alamance (May 16, 1771) to examine the issues and their cultural context that fostered the Regulator Movement and determined its progress, and political aftermath. This is the story of local government more interested in its needs than those of its constituents--and of settlers steeped in the Dissenter religious culture who drew on its political orientation to risk activism often cited as a prelude to the American Revolution.

Book excerpt: `Very accessible - not too technical or jargon-ridden. The practical suggestions were useful too - if professionals feel inspired to promote change in their practice and policy it is helpful to have suggestions on where to start and what to do′ - Management in Education Few primary teachers have a chance to find out in detail what children have already learnt, and continue to learn, about literacy at home with their parents. This book gives a clear demonstration of literacy learning that takes place at home, and how it differs from, as well as relates to, literacy at school. It will help teachers to increase their understanding of this process and to build on their relationship with parents. Such understanding, the book shows, can directly enhance children′s literacy performance in school.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[...]hurry off! Stop! halt!" urged one of the singers. "Stop! stay! Show us what is in your blanket!" cried out other voices. "My friends, I must not spoil your dance. Oh, you would not care to see if you only knew what is in my blanket. Sing on! dance on! I must not show you what I carry on my back," answered Iktomi, nudging his own sides with his elbows. This reply broke up the ring entirely. Now all the ducks crowded about Iktomi. "We must see what you carry! We must know what is in your blanket!" they shouted in both his ears. Some even brushed their wings against the mysterious bundle. Nudging himself again, wily Iktomi said, "My friends, 't is only a pack of songs I carry in my blanket." "Oh, then let us hear your songs!" cried the curious ducks. At length Iktomi consented to sing his songs. With delight all the ducks flapped their wings and cried together, "Hoye! hoye!" Iktomi, with great care, laid down his bundle on the ground. "I will build first a round straw house, for I never sing my songs in the open air," said he. Quickly he bent green willow sticks, planting both ends of each pole into[...]".
