Barriger, Special Assistant, Federal Railroad Administration, and former president of the Katy "If you are coming to this book for the first time, dive in! If you're picking it up again after an absence, welcome back. The Northwest District may be gone, but it lives forever here." --Fred Finley More than just a history of a branch line railroad, this is a premiere book, with not only facts and figures, but also excellent historical writing. It details Katy Northwest's birth, maturation, and decline as well as the devastating effect of its death on the communities it served.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An original and significant contribution to Puerto Rican, Latino, and Latin American studies, drawing on the perspective of ordinary men and women. Gina Pérez's fine work is based on intensive research in two distant but interconnected places, conducted by a perceptive and sensitive observer-participant, herself immersed in two languages, cultures, and nations. Clearly written and cogently argued, her book will be of great interest to students of migration, ethnicity, and gender."—Jorge Duany, author of The Puerto Rican Nation on the Move: Identities on the Island and in the United States "In this fresh, textured, original, multi-sited ethnography, Pérez traces the changing ways that Puerto Ricans have experienced poverty, displacement, and discrimination, and how they imagine and build deeply rooted but transnational lives through the extended families, dense social networks, and meaningful communities. Pérez exposes the limits of citizenship for racialized minorities; the contradictory, constrained agency in community mobilizations and urban uprisings; and the often-failed promise of transnational migration as a place to build a counter-hegemonic political space."—Brett Williams, Professor of Anthropology, American University "This is a fascinating account of transnational migration as survival strategy, one bound up in kin, region, and economic restructuring."—Vicki L. Ruiz, author of From Out of the Shadows

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Storied Northwest, 1922: Explored by Lewis and Clark in 1804-6 and Developed by the Northern Pacific Railway One of the really pictorial portions of the West is found in N orth Dakota and in common parlance has been known as the bad-lands, but is more correctly known as Pyramid Park.

Book excerpt: In this rich, shadowy, glittering anthology edited by Sharma Shields and Maya Jewell Zeller , a multitude of Northwest writers share their singular stories, essays, and poems that center what Shields calls "the literature of despair." These pages confront what is difficult in life with extraordinary precision and grace: In Beth Piatote's story "Secondary Infection," a Yakama auntie narrates the undoing of a lonely woman; in the essay "There Is No Story Until It Happens to You," Richard Fifield writes about a devastating car crash in the remote Montana northlands of his youth; in his series of poems, "During the Pandemic," Rick Barot reflects on fear, isolation, and hope as quarantine descends; in her visual poem, "The Columbia Basin Pygmy Rabbit: An Auto-Elegy," artist Mita Mahato mourns the decline of a fragile species and the terrors of human impact on the environment. In works that span themes from colonialism to environmentalism, from divorce to disease, from toxic masculinity to a loss of faith, the writers here unflinchingly address what makes us vulnerable, what makes us complex, what cleaves us and what connects us. As Zeller writes in the book's introduction, this ambitious anthology pushes us to "learn, memorize, and recite the songs sung by these regional voices, mapping us into a communal root system of evergreen selves."

Download or read book Nature's Northwest written by William G. Robbins and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2011-04-15 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the beginning of the twentieth century, the greater Northwest was ablaze with change and seemingly obsessed with progress. The promotional literature of the time praising railroads, population increases, and the growing sophistication of urban living, however, ignored the reality of poverty and ethnic and gender discrimination. During the course of the next century, even with dramatic changes in the region, one constant remainedÑ inequality. With an emphasis on the regionÕs political economy, its environmental history, and its cultural and social heritage, this lively and colorful history of the Pacific NorthwestÑdefined here as Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and southern British ColumbiaÑplaces the narrative of this dynamic region within a national and international context. Embracing both Canadian and American stories in looking at the larger region, renowned historian William Robbins and Katrine Barber offer us a fascinating regional history through the lens of both the environment and society. Understanding the physical landscape of the greater Pacific NorthwestÑand the watersheds of the Columbia, Fraser, Snake, and Klamath riversÑsets the stage for understanding the development of the area. Examining how this landscape spawned sawmills, fish canneries, railroads, logging camps, agriculture, and shared immigrant and ethnic traditions reveals an intricate portrait of the twentieth-century Northwest. Impressive in its synthesis of myriad historical facts, this first-rate regional history will be of interest to historians studying the region from a variety of perspectives and an informative read for anyone fascinated by the story of a landscape rich in diversity, natural resources, and Native culture.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eastward Through the Storied Northwest T really appears as if, in late years, an impression has been made on the great annual hegira to Europe, and that a reflex flow of increasing magnitude had been established across continent to the shores of the Pacific. Not alone the increasing number of winter tourists to that region indicates this, but the growing inclination to make the Pacific coast in all its length the rally ing point for annual gatherings and conventions, evidences the fact. -landscape, climate, peo ple, everything found there, is new, strange, and alluring, and the broadening and educational effects of such a journey are beyond statement.

Download or read book Writing the Northwest written by Hill Williams and published by . This book was released on 2017-02 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning, amiable journalist Hill Williams began his career at the Kennewick Courier-Reporter in 1948 and later became a science writer for the Seattle Times. Now, after decades spent reporting Northwest news, he transforms his most memorable and favorite stories into inviting, candid narratives. He writes about Hanford, a Coast Guard officer¿s heroism, whale-hunting in canoes, studying salmon at the University of Washington, and a famous dog-sled run. He recounts growing up on the dry side of Washington during the 1930s and 1940s and working before computers were ubiquitous. He reminisces about the flooding of Celilo Falls, the Columbia Irrigation Project, a nuclear test in Nevada, Mount St. Helens, and a mysterious chunk of earth in the middle of the scablands. "Writing the Northwest" is his third--and most personal--title with Washington State University Press.
