Описание: The Westons were among the most well-known abolitionists in antebellum Massachusetts, and each of the Weston sisters played an integral role in the family's work. The eldest, Maria Weston Chapman, became one of the antislavery movement's most influential members. In an extensive and original look at the connections among women, domesticity, and progressive political movements, Lee V. Chambers argues that it was the familial cooperation and support between sisters, dubbed "kin-work," that allowed women like the Westons to participate in the political process, marking a major change in women's roles from the domestic to the public sphere. The Weston sisters and abolitionist families like them supported each other in meeting the challenges of sickness, pregnancy, child care, and the myriad household responsibilities that made it difficult for women to engage in and sustain political activities.By repositioning the household and family to a more significant place in the history of American politics, Chambers examines connections between the female critique of slavery and patriarchy, ultimately arguing that it was family ties that drew women into the activism of public life and kept them there.

Описание: How is the state produced? In what ways did enslaved African Americans shape modern governing practices? Ryan A. Quintana provocatively answers these questions by focusing on the everyday production of South Carolina's state space—its roads and canals, borders and boundaries, public buildings and military fortifications. Beginning in the early eighteenth century and moving through the post–War of 1812 internal improvements boom, Quintana highlights the surprising ways enslaved men and women sat at the center of South Carolina's earliest political development, materially producing the state's infrastructure and early governing practices, while also challenging and reshaping both through their day-to-day movements, from the mundane to the rebellious. Focusing on slaves' lives and labors, Quintana illuminates how black South Carolinians not only created the early state, but also established their own extra-legal economic sites, social and cultural havens, and independent communities along South Carolina's roads, rivers, and canals.Combining social history, the study of American politics, and critical geography, Quintana reframes our ideas of early American political development, illuminates the material production of space, and reveals the central role of slaves' daily movements (for their owners and themselves) to the development of the modern state.

Описание: Each year millions of people search for clues about where they came from and who they are. That's where his story begins. Urged on by his mother's advancing Alzheimer's, he turned to her aging siblings for the family stories only they knew, before they too faded into the firmament. Over hours of shared laughter, tears, and dark coffee, he learned that his mother was the personification of the classic American myth: a child of Swedish immigrants, born in a log cabin, delivered by a midwife, she walked two miles through the snow to a one room school. Her parents struggled as homesteaders in the decimated forests of Minnesota's far north and on the unforgiving plains of northeastern Montana. They faced the threats of poverty, drought, the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918, and the Great Depression with stoic courage. Theirs is an American story of hope, hardship, and determination that spans the first half of the twentieth century, an era that rewove the fabric of our country. For him, it was a personal journey of heartache, inspiration, and the discovery of what it means to be family.
