What We Mourn

What We Mourn

Lydia Murdoch

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA PRESS
2025
pokkari
How a new culture of bereavement changed the relationship of the Victorian state to its most vulnerable subjects When the Tory Member of Parliament Michael Sadler argued in 1832 for state intervention on behalf of Britain's dying child factory workers, he elicited smirks and ridicule from his Liberal adversaries - a response that would have been unimaginable by the century's end. What We Mourn traces the changing understandings of child death within British, imperial, and transatlantic contexts and reveals the importance of youth and emotion to constructions of the modern state. As childhood took on new meanings over the course of the long nineteenth century, public mourning for the premature deaths of children emerged as a way of asserting and even redefining British rights and citizenship. Factory hands and abolitionists, sanitation reformers and suffragists democratized and politicized their grief as they called upon the state to recognize their lives as part of a new, reimagined political order. As Lydia Murdoch shows, carrying their own and others' private grief into the public sphere - with petitions and marches, public lectures and poetry - allowed marginalized members of society to assert their claim to rights. What We Mourn explores both the power and the limitations of a new politics founded on grief and the protection of child life.

Lydia Kirk

When her husband is offered the assignment of U.S. Naval attache in London in 1939, Lydia Chapin Kirk packs up her family and embarks on a lifelong journey, one in which she becomes a firsthand witness to the extraordinary world events of her time. Kirk's historical memoir offers a fascinating portrait of a remarkable life, told first from the perspective of a young girl in Erie, Pennsylvania, Paris, and Washington before World War I, and then from her husband's postings as U.S. naval attache and then as U.S. ambassador to Belgium, the Soviet Union, and Taiwan during the cold war. She brings alive the unique challenges and complex managerial and social responsibilities of a diplomat's spouse, especially when facing the perils of looming war, the challenges of Stalin's Moscow, and lengthy separations from her husband and children. An accomplished author of four books published in the 1950s and 1970s, Lydia Kirk captures the places and times in which she lived, the youthful adventures and wartime disruptions. With colorful prose and vivid detail, she offers recollections of such prominent people as President Theodore Roosevelt, Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko, and Madame Chiang Kai-shek. Kirk has an artist's eye for her surroundings, revealing candid perceptions of human nature. Here is the story of a woman of consequence living through a transitional time when wives' roles were different than they are now. Her memoir gives voice to the many strong women of her generation whose untold contributions will inspire readers of all backgrounds.

Letters from New-York

Letters from New-York

Lydia Maria Child

University of Georgia Press
1998
pokkari
Prominent author and abolitionist Lydia Maria Child began writing her "letters" from New York in August 1841 as a response to the troubling realities marking her private and public life. In particular, she was preoccupied by her editorial duties at the National Anti-Slavery Standard and dismayed by the growing sectarian spirit of antislavery reform. Collected primarily from the pages of the Standard, her literary essays on women's rights, the preaching of African American minister Julia Pell, the Crosby Street Synagogue, animal magnetism, the engineering miracle of Croton Aqueduct, and countless other people, topics, and events capture the breathless and sometimes unsettling transformation of one representative hub of national life.In his general introduction and annotation of the text, Bruce Mills reconstructs the biographical and cultural context surrounding the book's publication and documents substantive changes between the Standard's version of the letters and the book form. This edition also includes ten letters that Child chose to omit from earlier editions, including essays on the farewell gathering for the Amistad captives at the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church and the near lynching of British abolitionist George Thompson.Long considered among Child's best writing, Letters from New-York still captivates readers with its moving descriptions of enduring cultural realities. It offers readers a telling glimpse of New York as an emerging urban center and is an invaluable addition to the library of American literature.

Slave Songs of the Georgia Sea Islands

Slave Songs of the Georgia Sea Islands

Lydia Parrish; Art Rosenbaum

University of Georgia Press
1992
pokkari
A valuable collection of folk music and lore from the Gullah culture, Slave Songs of the Georgia Sea Islands preserves the rich traditions of slave descendants on the barrier islands of Georgia by interweaving their music with descriptions of their language, religious and social customs, and material culture.Collected over a period of nearly twenty-five years by Lydia Parrish, the sixty folk songs and attendant lore included in this book are evidence of antebellum traditions kept alive in the relatively isolated coastal regions of Georgia.Over the years, Parrish won the confidence of many of the African-American singers, not only collecting their songs but also discovering other elements of traditional culture that formed the context of those songs. When it was first published in 1942, Slave Songs of the Georgia Sea Islands contained much material that had not previously appeared in print.The songs are grouped in categories, including African survival songs; shout songs; ring-play, dance, and fiddle songs; and religious and work songs. In additions to the lyrics and melodies, Slave Songs includes Lydia Parrish's explanatory notes, character sketches of her informants, anecdotes, and a striking portfolio of photographs.Reproduced in its original oversized format, Slave Songs of the Georgia Sea Islands will inform and delight students and scholars of African-American culture and folklore as well as folk music enthusiasts.

The Exit Is the Entrance

The Exit Is the Entrance

Lydia Paar

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA PRESS
2024
pokkari
Lydia Paar joined the American workforce at age fourteen, holding a wide variety of jobs (twenty-seven, at last count) between then and now, across twenty-five different homes in eight states. The essays in this collection explore her attempts to evade or transform the lower-middle class American experience across various cityscapes, towns, deserts, and in-between places. As she moves through these spaces, she seeks peace, connection, and freedom: from the hip streets of Portland to desolate deserts, Army basic training to cross-country bus trips, to eerie St. Louis funeral homes, and more. Each essay interrogates the interior emotional work that accompanies such grappling: labors of love and friendship, of learning, of motion, of maintenance, and of finding faith in potential for positive change. Across a range of interior and exterior landscapes, Paar meditates on subcultures, agendas, violences, alliances, and the intersection of the natural world with our human endeavors. Ultimately, she considers how what we try to transform so often transforms us.

Preaching Prevention

Preaching Prevention

Lydia Boyd

Ohio University Press
2015
sidottu
Preaching Prevention examines the controversial U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) initiative to "abstain and be faithful" as a primary prevention strategy in Africa. This ethnography of the born-again Christians who led the new anti-AIDS push in Uganda provides insight into both what it means for foreign governments to "export" approaches to care and treatment and the ways communities respond to and repurpose such projects. By examining born-again Christians' support of Uganda's controversial 2009 Anti-Homosexuality Bill, the book's final chapter explores the enduring tensions surrounding the message of personal accountability heralded by U.S. policy makers. Preaching Prevention is the first to examine the cultural reception of PEPFAR in Africa. Lydia Boyd asks, What are the consequences when individual responsibility and autonomy are valorized in public health initiatives and those values are at odds with the existing cultural context? Her book investigates the cultures of the U.S. and Ugandan evangelical communities and how the flow of U.S.-directed monies influenced Ugandan discourses about sexuality and personal agency. It is a pioneering examination of a global health policy whose legacies are still unfolding.

Qu es la sabidur a y por qu es importante en la vida de cada mujer? Los libros de consejos para manejar los retos de la vida diaria encabezan las listas de libros m s vendidos cada a o, incluso cuando gran parte de la "sabidur a" que ofrecen resulta superficial a largo plazo. Las personas, sin embargo, buscan consejos pr cticos y perdurables, y el libro de Proverbios es el lugar m s sabio para comenzar. Analizando el libro de Proverbios, Lydia Brownback muestra c mo la Biblia aborda cuestiones de la vida real como el dinero, la pureza, el matrimonio y la rutina diaria. Escrito en un tono familiar y lleno de la experiencia de una maestra b blica del calibre de Lydia Brownback, Mujeres sabias ense a a las mujeres de hoy c mo adquirir la sabidur a verdadera, conociendo mejor al propio Autor de la sabidur a y poniendo en pr ctica la riqueza de sus consejos m s relevantes. Incluye gu a de estudio ideal para la reflexi n personal o el estudio en grupo. El problema para muchas de nosotras es que queremos una f rmula de tres sencillos pasos hacia la buena vida. Por esta misma raz n, a menudo nos es mucho m s f cil digerir una lectura r pida y f cil que tomarnos el tiempo para profundizar en la Palabra de Dios. No "tenemos tiempo" para conocer a Dios. "Tal vez ma ana", pensamos; hoy s lo queremos algunos consejos sobre c mo minimizar el estr s, equilibrar el presupuesto y lograr que los ni os se porten bien. Un vistazo al libro de Proverbios nos muestra justo lo que parecemos necesitar: instrucciones breves y concisas en anuncios tipo "X" (antes Twitter). Sin embargo, si abordamos Proverbios con una mentalidad de soluci n r pida, perderemos el punto general del libro: conocer y aprender a amar al Autor de la sabidur a. S lo a trav s de conocer y amar a Dios (lo que Proverbios llama "el temor de Jehov ") entenderemos c mo aplicar sus instrucciones pr cticas. Las mujeres necesitamos consejos pr cticos para la vida, pero a n m s que eso, necesitamos corazones puestos en Aquel que gobierna todos nuestros aspectos pr cticos. El libro de Proverbios abre la clave para ambos. Su sabidur a es eterna. En tus manos hay un libro sobre la sabidur a que se puede extraer del libro de Proverbios. Encontrar s nueve cap tulos divididos en tres partes que puedes leer sola o en un grupo peque o. Al final encontrar s una gu a de estudio. Parte 1, Qu es la sabidur a y por qu es importante? Parte 2, Seis cosas que las mujeres saben Parte 3, El retrato de una mujer How the Book of Proverbs Speaks to Everything Advice books are no short-lived trend, even though much of the advice parading as "wisdom" proves shallow in the long run. What we need is biblical wisdom, and even more than that we need hearts set on the One who governs all our practicalities. The book of Proverbs unlocks the key to both, helping us to face very real challenges such as: handling our freedom, independence, and material resources wisely keeping ourselves sexually pure practicing biblical femininity in a world that scorns us for it sustaining God-glorifying marriages elevating biblical priorities ahead of day-to-day pressures Exploring the timeless counsel in the book of Proverbs, A Woman's Wisdom teaches us to know the very Author of wisdom and to apply his relevant, how-to riches.

Florece en tu fe. Florece en tu gozo. Florece en Cristo. Est s lista para dejar atr s lo ordinario y abrazar la vida extraordinaria que Cristo ofrece? En un mundo cautivado por tendencias y valores cambiantes, la palabra florecer ha ganado atenci n por las mejores razones. Habla de una vida llena de gozo, prop sito y vitalidad: la vida que Dios, desde el principio, dise para ti. Pero qu nos impide experimentar esta vida floreciente? Muchas veces, no son los grandes y dram ticos momentos, sino las presiones diarias, las prioridades equivocadas y las influencias sutiles pero peligrosas, incluso dentro de los c rculos cristianos. En «Florece , descubrir s c mo: Identificar y protegerte contra falsas ense anzas que distorsionan tu fe. Pasar de una mentalidad centrada en ti misma a una vida centrada en Cristo. Navegar con sabidur a y claridad las presiones y distracciones de "los ltimos d as". Anclar tu coraz n en la verdad b blica y disfrutar de la vida abundante que Jes s prometi . A trav s de ideas pr cticas y una profunda exploraci n de las Escrituras, Florece te ayudar a redescubrir el gozo de servir con alegr a, no con pesadez. Te inspirar a fijar tu mirada en Cristo, la verdadera fuente de paz y satisfacci n, dejando atr s las falsas promesas del amor propio y las tendencias culturales. INCLUYE GU A DE ESTUDIO What Keeps Us from Flourishing? Flourish equips us with tools to identify the lies that come at us about where to find real life. As we dig deep into what God says in his Word, we will learn to discern the worldly influences that threaten to warp our understanding of what it really means to be a Christian and emerge with a faith that flourishes--full of the abundant life Jesus promises. We all long to live out our faith with daily joy, but so often that joy eludes us. Why is that? More often than we realize, it's because we've absorbed messages that curve us in on ourselves. These messages have even crept into the church, disguised as truth. It's time we learn to discern teaching that's toxic from that which is true and pure.

I Married a Soldier

I Married a Soldier

Lydia Spencer Lane

University of New Mexico Press
1987
nidottu
Lydia Spencer Lane's account of her life as a young army bride on the early southwestern frontier is both invaluable history and delightful commentary. As an officer's wife, Lane left her home in Pennsylvania in 1854 to accompany her new husband to his first post in the West -- the encampment at Fort Inge, Texas, then in the midst of a yellow-fever epidemic. For the next sixteen years, Lane crossed the Great Plains by wagon seven times, travelled nearly 8,000 miles, raised three children, and became accustomed to tours of duty that required the family to move at least every six months to a different set of military forts, frontier garrisons, and trailside bivouacs across New Mexico and Texas. First published in 1893 and unavailable for nearly a decade, Lane's narrative manifests a dry wit that lends humour to events that range from the uncomfortable to the terrifying. Through her eyes we see the close-knit social life of an army post, the western frontier's divided response to the American Civil War (including the Confederate invasion of the Mesilla Valley), and the cultures and peoples of the West. As Darlis Miller makes clear in her Introduction, Lane's courage, her sense of humour, her powers of observation, and her obvious love for the western landscape make her an unforgettable narrator, a valuable historian, and a bold exemplar of strength under pressure.

Delivering Health

Delivering Health

Lydia Z. Dixon

Vanderbilt University Press
2020
nidottu
2021 Honorable Mention for the Association for Feminist Anthropology’s Rosaldo Book Prize Maternal health outcomes are a key focus of global health initiatives. In Delivering Health, author Lydia Z. Dixon uncovers the ways such outcomes have been shaped by broader historical, political, and social factors in Mexico, through the perspectives of those who are at the front lines fighting for change: midwives. Midwives have long been marginalized in Mexico as remnants of the country's precolonial past, yet Dixon shows how they are now strategically positioning themselves as agents of modernity and development. Midwifery education programs have popped up across Mexico, each with their own critique of the health care system and vision for how midwifery can help. Delivering Health ethnographically examines three such schools with very different educational approaches and professional goals. From San Miguel de Allende to Oaxaca to MichoacÁn and points between, Dixon takes us into the classrooms, clinics, and conferences where questions of what it means to provide good reproductive health care are being taught, challenged, and implemented. Through interviews, observational data, and even student artwork, we are shown how underlying inequality manifests in poor care for many Mexican women. The midwives in this book argue that they can improve care while also addressing this inequality. Ultimately, Delivering Health asks us to consider the possibility that marginalized actors like midwives may hold the solution to widespread concerns in health.

Mary Heilmann: Looking at Pictures

Mary Heilmann: Looking at Pictures

Lydia Yee; Briony Fer

Whitechapel Gallery
2016
sidottu
The catalogue to accompany a major solo presentation of the work of the influential New York-based artist Mary Heilmann, her first in a public institution in the UK in 15 years. Born in California in 1940, Heilmann studied ceramics and poetry before moving to New York in 1968 and taking up painting. A pioneer of infusing abstract painting with influences from craft traditions and popular culture (especially rock music and California’s beach culture), Heilmann is one of the most important yet still underrecognised artists working today. This publication explores Heilmann’s approach to abstraction from two distinct but interrelated perspectives: the formal and the personal. The personal is reflected in the title Looking at Pictures, named after a section in the artist’s memoir The All Night Movie (1999), in which she writes, `Each of my paintings can be seen as an autobiographical marker’, clearly represented here through works that relate to moments in the artist’s friendships, memories of places where she has lived or spent time and her love of music and film. The juxtaposing formal aspect of her work is also explored, most evidently in her early paintings of grids and squares rendered in primary colours and in works that are based on architectural or interior planes, such as doors and mirrors. As well as new essays by Lydia Yee (Chief Curator, Whitechapel Gallery) and Briony Fer (Professor of History of Art, University College London), and writings by the artist on key works, the publication will feature 100 beautiful full-colour illustrations of paintings, works on paper, furniture and ceramics from Heilmann’s five-decade career.

The Sorrows of Mexico

MacLehose Press
2017
pokkari
With contributions from seven of Mexico's finest journalists, this is reportage at its bravest and most necessary - it has the power to change the world's view of their country, and by the force of its truth, to start to heal the country's many sorrows.Supported the Arts Council Grant's for the Arts Programme and by PEN PromotesVeering between carnival and apocalypse, Mexico has in the last ten years become the epicentre of the international drug trade. The so-called "war on drugs" has been a brutal and chaotic failure (more than 160,000 lives have been lost). The drug cartels and the forces of law and order are often in collusion, corruption is everywhere. Life is cheap and inconvenient people - the poor, the unlucky, the honest or the inquisitive - can be "disappeared" leaving not a trace behind (in September 2015, more than 26,798 were officially registered as "not located"). Yet people in all walks of life have refused to give up. Diego Enrique Osorno and Juan Villoro tell stories of teenage prostitution and Mexico's street children. Anabel Hernández and Emiliano Ruiz Parra give chilling accounts of the "disappearance" of forty-three students and the murder of a self-educated land lawyer. Sergio González Rodríguez and Marcela Turati dissect the impact of the violence on the victims and those left behind, while Lydia Cacho contributes a journal of what it is like to live every day of your life under threat of death. Reading these accounts we begin to understand the true nature of the meltdown of democracy, obscured by lurid headlines, and the sheer physical and intellectual courage needed to oppose it.
