Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of a German-Jewish love that overcame the burdens of the past. Finalist for the 2017 Book of the Year Award by the Chicago Writers Association “A book that is hard to put down.” —Jerusalem Post “This book confirms Annette Gendler as an indispensable Jewish voice for our time." —Yossi Klein Halevi, author of Like Dreamers "The ghosts of the past haunt a woman’s search for herself in this thoughtful, poignant memoir about the transformative power of love and faith.” —Hillary Jordan, author of Mudbound, now a Netflix movie “An exquisitely written conversion story which expounds upon personal and collective identity.” —Washington Independent Review of Books “A compelling, gracefully written memoir about the impact of the past on the present.” —Michael Steinberg, author of Still Pitching History was repeating itself when Annette fell in love with Harry, a Jewish man, the son of Holocaust survivors, in Germany in 1985. Her Great-Aunt Resi had been married to a Jew in Czechoslovakia before World War II―a marriage that, while happy, put the entire family in mortal danger once the Nazis took over their hometown in 1938. Annette and Harry’s love, meanwhile, was the ultimate nightmare for Harry’s family. Not only was their son considering marrying a non-Jew, but a German. Weighed down by the burdens of their family histories, Annette and Harry kept their relationship secret for three years, until they could forge a path into the future and create a new life in Chicago. Annette found a spiritual home in Judaism―a choice that paved the way toward acceptance by Harry’s family, and redemption for some of the wounds of her own family’s past.

Download or read book Stories of the South written by K. Stephen Prince and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the immediate aftermath of the Civil War, the North assumed significant power to redefine the South, imagining a region rebuilt and modeled on northern society. The white South actively resisted these efforts, battling the legal strictures of Reconstruction on the ground. Meanwhile, white southern storytellers worked to recast the South's image, romanticizing the Lost Cause and heralding the birth of a New South. Prince argues that this cultural production was as important as political competition and economic striving in turning the South and the nation away from the egalitarian promises of Reconstruction and toward Jim Crow.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the dissertation, I examine the ways in which the emergence of the contemporary native Hawaiian nationalist movement has shaped identity formation among Hawai'i's multi-ethnic population. My research results draw on twenty-two months of ethnographic fieldwork on the island of Oahu and incorporate a combination of life narratives, participant observation, legal interpretation, statistical data, and textual analysis. I argue that in the face of indigenous activism, land has become important to identity formation and cultural production for not only native Hawaiians, but also many non-native residents of Hawai'i. I show that the mutual constitution of indigenous and non-indigenous identities in Hawai'i influences both everyday practice and memories about the past. For example, I show that cultural practices deemed in anthropological literature and popular social narratives as self-defining for indigenous peoples, such as traditional agricultural work and native language acquisition, can hold deep personal meaning for non-native people as well. Further, examining collective memory in Hawai'i, I suggest that changing cultural, political, and econ0omic contexts influence the way history is remembered. Specifically, through ethnographies of public spaces intended to celebrate diverse ethnic mi[g]rations to Hawai'i, I argue that at distince historical moments, certain stories from the past become critical to the ability of local residents to develop a sense of belonging in the present. ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rediscovering the lives of enslaved people in Jamaica A combination of archaeological and historical study, The Old Village and the Great House examines life within enslaved, and later free, laborer households at a Jamaican sugar plantation. Douglas V. Armstrong draws on excavations in house-yard areas to create a case study comparison between the lives of enslaved workers and the planter class. As Armstrong shows, archaeological analysis and historical research reveal a firsthand record of people's lives and the emergence of an African-Jamaican community. Detailed descriptions of artifacts, structural remains, and dietary refuse combine with written accounts to provide insight into the lives of enslaved people and African-Jamaican transformations.
