Female seminaries in nineteenth-century America offered middle-class women the rare privilege of training in music and the liberal arts. A music background in particular provided the foundation for a teaching career, one of the few paths open to women. Jewel A. Smith opens the doors of four female seminaries, revealing a milieu where rigorous training focused on music as an artistic pursuit rather than a social skill. Drawing on previously untapped archives, Smith charts women's musical experiences and training as well as the curricula and instruction available to them, the repertoire they mastered, and the philosophies undergirding their education. She also examines the complex tensions between the ideals of a young democracy and a deeply gendered system of education and professional advancement. An in-depth study of female seminaries as major institutions of learning, Transforming Women's Education illuminates how musical training added to women's lives and how their artistic acumen contributed to American society.

Описание: In the early 19th century, Middletown, Connecticuts waterfront was a busy, international shipping port, rivaling New York, Providence and Newport. It was ideally located twenty-six miles upriver from danger-prone Atlantic waters, and central to the ports principal function: shipping much needed goods to-and-from destinations in the West Indies, home of large White-owned sugar plantations and their enslaved workers. Into this burgeoning New England waterfront scene, Samuel Russell was born, in 1789. Purportedly the son and grandson of ship captains, Russell lived with his extended family just blocks from the riverfront. Russells father died in 1811, when he was just twelve, leaving him, as the eldest boy, to fend for himself and his family on the streets and docks of this town of 5400 residents. Most men in those days were destined for a life of farming. But, for Sam Russell, modern times and unique circumstances of his coming-of-age in this riverfront community took a very different-and life-changing-turn. The bridge between the 18th and 19th centuries marked the corresponding birth of a new American nation and emergence of the Industrial Age. Ideally, the nascent United States, emboldened by a credo of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, had the resources and desire to benefit from the riches of European markets. Living and working in this busy riverfront community, and with a familys sea-going legacy, together with personal qualities, later documented by a peer, of "honesty, integrity, and reliability," soon earned Russell (in his twenties) a European-bound trading assignment. In 1819, after two successful European trips, his employer directed him, as an agent, to repeat the European venture, then sail directly to Canton, China, at the head of the Pearl River, using sales proceeds to set up a trading company. Following a three-month voyage, he would join other Western interests, principally the English, in a location there called, the Thirteen Factories. The objective: selling New England-made goods and produce to the Chinese, in exchange for tea, silks and porcelain. The problem was, the Chinese-long an isolated and self-sufficient nation-werent interested. After a concerted effort, spanning several months, Russell eventual chose a more controversial, but highly profitable route for his new entity, Russell & Co. Writing to his partners in Providence, noting the success of the British East India Company in their wealth-building dealings with local merchants and Cantonese brokers, he notified them of his decision to also deal in opium. The change in strategy was straight forward. First, sail to Turkey or India, where cotton goods were in demand. Trade for local opium and proceed to China, where there was a limitless and eager clientele for opium. Use the proceeds to purchase silks, tea, and porcelain, then head home to place those goods on sale, sometimes right at dockside. Then repeat. This work of historical fiction explores the moral and ethical choices made in a place and time when opium was not illegal but regarded as damaging to a nations productivity and well-being. Colonialism, racial and ethnic bias, and the absence of international regulations had opened many doors for Western businessmen. Merchants of Deceit explores many of these themes, as told through the first-hand perspective of Samuel Russell, rising to prominence in Canton, China, as he unwittingly redirected the course of world history.

Описание: By tracing the largely forgotten eighteenth-century migration of elite mixed-race individuals from Jamaica to Great Britain, Children of Uncertain Fortune reinterprets the evolution of British racial ideologies as a matter of negotiating family membership. Using wills, legal petitions, family correspondences, and inheritance lawsuits, Daniel Livesay is the first scholar to follow the hundreds of children born to white planters and Caribbean women of color who crossed the ocean for educational opportunities, professional apprenticeships, marriage prospects, or refuge from colonial prejudices.The presence of these elite children of color in Britain pushed popular opinion in the British Atlantic world toward narrower conceptions of race and kinship. Members of Parliament, colonial assemblymen, merchant kings, and cultural arbiters - the very people who decided Britain' colonial policies, debated abolition, passed marital laws, and arbitrated inheritance disputes - rubbed shoulders with these mixed-race Caribbean migrants in parlors and sitting rooms. Upper-class Britons also resented colonial transplants and coveted their inheritances; family intimacy gave way to racial exclusion. By the early nineteenth century, relatives had become strangers.

In the second half of the 19th century, two brothers living in Ukraine, both Hasidic rabbis, became fabulously wealthy within a short time period. They and their families were celebrated by the Jewish population in numerous folk tales. Even Sholom Aleichem, the great Yiddish storyteller, wrote a short tale about them. Today, however, they had been all but forgotten until the publication of this book.
Based on many years of extensive research, including interviews with descendants and research at the Ukrainian Archives, Sons of the Lion's Cub tells the story of these Horenstein brothers from multiple perspectives. It reviews the life of their father (named "the lion's cub" in Hebrew) and the 1000-year history of their distinguished ancestors. It also proposes a new theory of how they were able to acquire their remarkable wealth.
