Book Synopsis Young Pioneers by : Rose Wilder Lane
Download or read book Young Pioneers written by Rose Wilder Lane and published by James Clarke & Co.. This book was released on 1979 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the lives of Molly and David, the 'young pioneers' who embark upon a journey to the West, this novel is a story of spiritual strength and family unity in the face of difficulty and hardship. Molly and David played together as children and said they would get married as soon as they were old enough. And sure enough, when she was sixteen and he two years older, they married, and together they set out for the West, where the country had not yet been settled and they might find good land to farm. David's father gave them a team of horses, a wagon and his blessing; Molly's parents gave blankets and pillows, a ham and a cheese and some maple sugar, a pot and a pan and a skillet, and a copy of Tennyson's Poems. With David's gun and fiddle, and Molly's needles and thread, they had all they needed. Snug in the dugout under the prairie, their baby boy was born on Molly's seventeenth birthday. Soon the wheat was ripe and high and full of promise for the baby's future, a future that would be warm and safe and bright. The grasshoppers wiped out that promise. Within two days there was no wheat left - no crop, no money, no horses, and no way of providing against the bitter winter. Simply and vividly told, this story grew out of real experience. This is a novel which has moved and fascinated readers for more than fifty years, and has been translated into twenty languages.

Download or read book The Pioneers written by David McCullough and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestseller by Pulitzer Prize–winning historian David McCullough rediscovers an important chapter in the American story that’s “as resonant today as ever” (The Wall Street Journal)—the settling of the Northwest Territory by courageous pioneers who overcame incredible hardships to build a community based on ideals that would define our country. As part of the Treaty of Paris, in which Great Britain recognized the new United States of America, Britain ceded the land that comprised the immense Northwest Territory, a wilderness empire northwest of the Ohio River containing the future states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. A Massachusetts minister named Manasseh Cutler was instrumental in opening this vast territory to veterans of the Revolutionary War and their families for settlement. Included in the Northwest Ordinance were three remarkable conditions: freedom of religion, free universal education, and most importantly, the prohibition of slavery. In 1788 the first band of pioneers set out from New England for the Northwest Territory under the leadership of Revolutionary War veteran General Rufus Putnam. They settled in what is now Marietta on the banks of the Ohio River. McCullough tells the story through five major characters: Cutler and Putnam; Cutler’s son Ephraim; and two other men, one a carpenter turned architect, and the other a physician who became a prominent pioneer in American science. They and their families created a town in a primeval wilderness, while coping with such frontier realities as floods, fires, wolves and bears, no roads or bridges, no guarantees of any sort, all the while negotiating a contentious and sometimes hostile relationship with the native people. Like so many of McCullough’s subjects, they let no obstacle deter or defeat them. Drawn in great part from a rare and all-but-unknown collection of diaries and letters by the key figures, The Pioneers is a uniquely American story of people whose ambition and courage led them to remarkable accomplishments. This is a revelatory and quintessentially American story, written with David McCullough’s signature narrative energy.

Book Synopsis The Young Pioneers and the Komsomol of Uzbekistan by : Sevket Hylton Akyildiz
Download or read book The Young Pioneers and the Komsomol of Uzbekistan written by Sevket Hylton Akyildiz and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Revised 2014 edition) How, where, when and why, did the Soviets educate and indoctrinate young citizens outside of the school environment? What was the link between the school and youth movement in the USSR? What were Soviet values? In this extended academic article I answer these questions, and more. The article contains 60 pages of analysis that explains, for the first time in the English language, how the Communist Party of the Soviet Union fostered proactive citizenship amongst the young people of Uzbekistan. 'The Young Pioneers and the Komsomol of Uzbekistan' contains parts (1) Union-wide Youth Movements, (2) Uzbekistan: the Young Pioneers, (3) Union-wide: Komsomol, (4) Uzbekistan: Komsomol, (5) Conclusion. So, my article moves from the general union-wide (the USSR) to the specific (Uzbekistan as a case study). The historiography content of this work is based upon Western English language and Soviet era translated (from Russian) sources. I outline the influence of Cold War thinking on these western historical documents. Indeed, Uzbekistan was a multi-ethnic society consisting of Uzbeks, Tajiks, Karakalpaks, and the other Central Asian peoples, Tatars, Russians, Ukrainians, Germans, Jews, Koreans, and more. The focus of my work are two Soviet era youth movements operating in Uzbekistan from 1924 to 1991, with an emphasis upon the 1980s. The two youth movements under investigation are the Young Pioneers and the Komsomol. The aim of the communist regime was to establish a Soviet people from amidst ethnic and social diversity and plurality - consisting of loyal workers with a shared ideological consciousness. In light of the historical events after 1991 I will explain the significance of Soviet youth movements as a core state socialization channel. The role of this particular socialisation channel was to inculcate and support citizenship education, values and norms. This extended paper will analyse the phenomenon of Soviet state-civic identity alongside youth movements. I argue, if we want to better understand the mentalities of the current crop of post-Soviet era leaders in Eurasia, we need to examine the Soviet education and indoctrination they experienced as children and young adults. The legacy of one's past can, and often does, re-emerge many year's later as the stresses of adult life kick in. Clearly, under the Soviet system adults were socialised as they progressed through life. In our contemporary society - dominated by the ideology of individualism and capitalism - the processes of adult socialisation are less obvious and less present in everyday life. This article explains the educational upbringing of today's Eurasian leaders. Eurasian leaders over the aged 40 or more would have been members of the Pioneers and the Komsomol. How did these institutions work on young minds? And just as important, this extended article looks at the upbringing of the masses and how their everyday life was influenced by socialism, western Enlightenment values, social interventionism, and Revolution. This article is one facet of my completed PHD thesis ('Implementing a Vision of Citizenship in Soviet Uzbekistan: Theory, Social issues and Education', and available at the library of SOAS, University of London).

Book Synopsis Ideologies and National Identities by : John R. Lampe
Download or read book Ideologies and National Identities written by John R. Lampe and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2004-01-10 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twentieth-century Southeastern Europe endured three, separate decades of international and civil war, and was marred in forced migration and wrenching systematic changes. This book is the result of a year-long project by the Open Society Institute to examine and reappraise this tumultuous century. A cohort of young scholars with backgrounds in history, anthropology, political science, and comparative literature were brought together for this undertaking. The studies invite attention to fascism, socialism, and liberalism as well as nationalism and Communism. While most chapters deal with war and confrontation, they focus rather on the remembrance of such conflicts in shaping today's ideology and national identity.
