Download or read book A Farming Family in the New World written by Claudia A Coffey and published by Outskirts Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-10 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take the trip of a lifetime with Thomas Barnard as he leaves the green hills of Gloucestershire, England, for the New World in the spring of 1679. The newly released historical fiction, A Farming Family in the New World, tells Thomas’ fictional tale in breathtakingly realistic fashion. The newly released novel is published by Outskirts Press. When the Globe set sail on a misty morning in 1679, 21-year-old Tom is in the ship’s hold, preparing for a long, dangerous voyage to America. While the risk is high, the reward is great: five years’ indentured service for the promise of free land in America. A Farming Family in the New World follows Tom’s journey to America and ultimately unfurls nine generations of his family as they flourish on American soil from 1679 to 2005. Readers journey through the years to witness George Washington’s rallying of troops; as Abraham Lincoln says his farewell to Springfield to begin his memorable presidency over a divided nation; as brother fights brother in a terrible Civil War; and as two World Wars throw the planet into turmoil. Through it all, one family’s storied history comes to life in this meticulously researched book, which chronicles a personal history through times of peace and prosperity, poverty and war. A Farming Family in the New World is available online through Outskirts Press at www.outskirtspress.com/bookstore.

Book Synopsis Mixed Families in a Transnational World by : Josiane Le Gall
Download or read book Mixed Families in a Transnational World written by Josiane Le Gall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering a transnational perspective on the processes of identity transmission and identity construction of mixed families in various parts of the world, this book provides an overview of how local, national, global contexts and inter-group relations structure the development of specific forms of belonging and identification. Featuring nine rich ethnographic studies situated in geographic areas less covered by scholarship on mixed families such as Québec, Morocco, Italy, France, Switzerland, Belgium, the Philippines, Thailand and Israel, the book’s contributions reveal how families’ everyday lives are shaped by historical and sociopolitical contexts, as well as by transnational dynamics and mobility trajectories. The studies illustrate the context-specific realities that shape social definitions of mixedness—whether religious, national, cultural, ethnic or racial—at local and transnational levels. The articulation of local and transnational perspectives on mixed families will be of interest to students and scholars of migration, transnationalism, families, ethnicity, race and racism in the social sciences (anthropology, sociology, history, social work, international relations and global studies). The book will also be of interest to policymakers, as well as activists and practitioners working in organizations offering services to mixed individuals, migrants, and their families.

Book excerpt: Since its original publication in 1987, Like a Family has become a classic in the study of American labor history. Basing their research on a series of extraordinary interviews, letters, and articles from the trade press, the authors uncover the voices and experiences of workers in the Southern cotton mill industry during the 1920s and 1930s. Now with a new afterword, this edition stands as an invaluable contribution to American social history. "The genius of Like a Family lies in its effortless integration of the history of the family--particularly women--into the history of the cotton-mill world.--Ira Berlin, New York Times Book Review "Like a Family is history, folklore, and storytelling all rolled into one. It is a living, revelatory chronicle of life rarely observed by the academe. A powerhouse.--Studs Terkel "Here is labor history in intensely human terms. Neither great impersonal forces nor deadening statistics are allowed to get in the way of people. If students of the New South want both the dimensions and the feel of life and labor in the textile industry, this book will be immensely satisfying.--Choice
