This book provides scholarly and applied perspectives on culturally sensitive narrative interventions for culturally diverse and immigrant children and adolescents. A resilience model and strengths-based approach form the basis for responding to stressors of migration and the acculturation process through the use of narrative, storytelling, drawings, and puppetry techniques. The authors emphasize and illustrate the need to incorporate evidence-based approaches and cultural understanding when developing and implementing narrative educational and therapeutic interventions.
The Things That Fly in the Night explores images of vampirism in Caribbean and African diasporic folk traditions and in contemporary fiction. Giselle Liza Anatol focuses on the figure of the soucouyant, or Old Hag—an aged woman by day who sheds her skin during night’s darkest hours in order to fly about her community and suck the blood of her unwitting victims. In contrast to the glitz, glamour, and seductiveness of conventional depictions of the European vampire, the soucouyant triggers unease about old age and female power. Tracing relevant folklore through the English- and French-speaking Caribbean, the U.S. Deep South, and parts of West Africa, Anatol shows how tales of the nocturnal female bloodsuckers not only entertain and encourage obedience in pre-adolescent listeners, but also work to instill particular values about women’s “proper” place and behaviors in society at large. Alongside traditional legends, Anatol considers the explosion of soucouyant and other vampire narratives among writers of Caribbean and African heritage who in the past twenty years have rejected the demonic image of the character and used her instead to urge for female mobility, racial and cultural empowerment, and anti colonial resistance. Texts include work by authors as diverse as Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison, U.S. National Book Award winner Edwidge Danticat, and science fiction/fantasy writers Octavia Butler and Nalo Hopkinson.This book is available as an audio book (https://www.abantuaudio.com/books/1197052/The-Things-That-Fly-in-the-Night).
The Correspondence of Sarah Morgan and Francis Warrington Dawson, with Selected Editorials Written by Sarah Morgan for the Charleston News and Courier

The private and public writings in this volume reveal the early relationship between renowned Civil War diarist Sarah Morgan (1842-1909) and her future husband, Francis Warrington Dawson (1840-1889). Gathered here is a selection of their letters along with various articles that Morgan wrote anonymously for the Charleston News and Courier, which Dawson owned and edited.In January 1873 Morgan met Frank Dawson, an English expatriate, Confederate veteran, and newspaperman. By then Morgan had left her native Louisiana and was living near Columbia, South Carolina, with her younger brother, James Morris Morgan. When Sarah Morgan and Frank Dawson met, he was mourning the recent death of his first wife. She, in turn, was still grieving over her family’s many wartime losses.The couple’s relationship came to encompass both the personal and the professional. To free Morgan from an unhappy dependence on her brother, Dawson urged her to write professionally for his paper. During 1873 Morgan wrote more than seventy pieces on such topics as French and Spanish politics, race relations, the insanity plea, funerals, and fashion gossip—-editorials that caused a sensation in Charleston.Only after attaining financial independence through her secret newspaper career did Morgan marry Frank Dawson, in 1874. Morgan’s commentary gives us a candid portrayal of the way one southern woman viewed her postwar world—-even as she struggled to find her place in it.
During the American Civil War, a new patriotic womanhood superseded the antebellum feminine ideal. It demanded that Confederate women sacrifice everything for their beloved cause of privilege, that they give up their men, their homes, their fine dresses and social occasions to ensure the establishment of a separate nation and the preservation of elite ideas about race, class, and gender. However, as men answered their call to arms, and southern matrons redefined their role as mothers and wives, Southern belles, having been prepared for lives founded on the attainment and expression of gentility, perceived the shortages, the loss of slaves, and the other repercussions of Federal invasion as an assault on the honor and status of their homeland. In The Confederate Belle, Giselle Roberts examines the lives of these young, elite, white women in Mississippi and Louisiana during the Civil War. Unlike their mothers, the belles were limited in their participation in household and community affairs. Aside from fancy needlework or embroidery, young women had little experience of heavy-duty sewing and knitting. Nor were they interested in politics, preferring to devote their time to visiting, music, reading, manners, society, and beaux. After being prepared for a delightful ""bellehood,"" the young women were suddenly forced to reassess their traditional rite of passage into womanhood and to compromise their understanding of femininity at a pivotal time in their lives. They found themselves caught between antebellum traditions and wartime reality. Rather than simply sacrificing their socialization for patriotic womanhood, the belles drew upon the conceptual framework of Southern honor to strengthen their understanding of themselves as young Confederate women. They used honor to shape and legitimize their obligations to the wartime household. They used honor to fashion their role as patriotic women. They even used honor to establish their relationship to the cause. By drawing on this concept, the belles ensured the basic preservation of an ideology of privilege. The Confederate Belle is one of the first works to examine the importance of Southern honor in defining and shaping the wartime lives of young Confederate women. Using diaries, letters, and memoirs to uncover the unique wartime experiences of young ladies in the South, Roberts looks beyond the romance and fanfare of war so often associated with young women to explore the real life of the Southern belle.
Focusing on the works of bishop Gregory of Tours (539-594) and the poet-hagiographer Venantius Fortunatus (540-c.604), in later life bishop of Poitiers, Dr de Nie gives in these innovative studies a new understanding of the miracle stories around which much of their writing revolves, but whose bizarre dynamics appear to defy sense, which has often resulted in their dismissal as useless to the historian. These authors' perceptions of miracles - and their renderings of the human self-awareness through which miracles are perceived and happen - are analysed as attempts, mostly rooted in models from the Bible, to adjust the early Christian tradition so as to make sense of, and protect themselves in, the highly insecure environment of 6th-century Frankish Gaul. Drawing on modern anthropological and psychological studies, notably in the area of spiritual healing practices, as well as on philosophical and theological reflections about verbal and mental imagery, she demonstrates how these can be used to throw fresh light on late antique society and its spirituality, exploring views of mind, affectivity, body, sensory phenomena, symbols, and the perception of women as well as of the qualities of images, verbal language and texts. The volume includes five essays not previously published in English.

We Don't Talk About That: A Riveting Story of Survival WWII

This story is more like a history rather than a memoir. It starts after WWI and outlines the changes in many European countries' social makeup, particularly in post-war Germany. Unemployment and staggering inflation where half a loaf of bread cost billions and two beers a mere one-hundred billion led to the rise of Adolf Hitler, an Austrian man. He promised work and bread and kept his promises. The following years brought a tremendous upswing in life but also carried Germany into WWII. Six years of war devastated great cities, and millions of people lost their lives. The invasion of eastern Germany by the Russian army brought horror through unspeakable atrocities to the ordinary people. While most survivors' attitude is "we don't talk about that," the author has found the courage to place her memories on record.Growing up in a rural village in Pomerania, which became part of Poland after the war, the authors' (Gila) tranquil life turned tragic when the fighting approached her neighbourhood. The Russians took her father and all 16 to 60-year-old healthy people, men and women, to Siberia while her mother and siblings were evicted and became displaced persons. They joined the trek of thousands 'on the road to nowhere.' Gila was witness to gruesome acts of violence quickly ageing her beyond her years. She barely survived diphtheria, and later, recovering from typhoid fever, she took responsibility for her three younger siblings while her mother worked. Despite her interrupted schooling through circumstances beyond her control, Gila's determination empowered her to become a Physical Education teacher and successful competitive kayaker. Gila lived the first ten years of her life under the Nazis and her teenage years under communist rule. Germany's final division into East and West with its political ramifications caused her to escape to West Germany. Here she was able to fulfill an old dream despite facing new challenges, including an unwanted affair. Gila's story is one of heartache, courage, pain, love, liberation and reclaiming life.
