In Mist Hill, the Appalachian village of their childhood, the long-estranged Collins siblings Kate and Lynuel (the former a worldly success, the latter a local failure) reunite and confront the past when they encounter the Roma love-child of their dead father and experience the traumatic intrusion of world events on this isolated corner of the world.Waking in the Aftermaths brings to life the Collins siblings Kate and Lynuel, children from one of the 'better' families of the village of Mist Hill, WV, who in 1961 embark upon an adventure that misfires and drastically influences their life trajectories in opposite ways. Kate becomes a driven human rights activist and poet, worldly and respected, long married to a Moroccan professor; yet in spite of every appearance of success, Kate is tormented by her responsibility for what she believes happened in 1961. Her modus operandi is to push people away, hard. Lyn on the other hand is a substance abuser and petty thief (later reformed) who has to all intents never left home; the result of their childhood misadventure for him has been an overwhelming fatalism.In 2001, Kate returns to Mist Hill for a rare visit at the same time that the aftermath of September 11th engulfs her, her Moroccan, Muslim husband, and their child. These current troubles merge with the continuing aftermath of the traumatic event of her and Lyn's childhood. Meanwhile, across the road and the railroad tracks, on the edge of the river, an eccentric family of three women has restored and moved into one of the group of hovels formerly known as 'Gypsytown.' They are the remnants of the Stanleys and the Hearnes, Roma families who had once lived there. Arabella Stanley, the youngest, has a relationship to the same past that Lyn and Kate share, but they have yet to learn what that relationship is. As the Collins and Stanley/Hearne families meet and their individuals stories unwind and merge in this isolated mountain setting, the past is finally laid to rest - as much as it is possible for the past to be. Our three protagonists, Kate, Lyn and Arabella, learn how to truly shoulder the burdens each has been given.

Humphrey Jennings and British Documentary Film: A Re-assessment

Humphrey Jennings and British Documentary Film: A Re-assessment

Philip C. Logan

Ashgate Publishing Limited

Humphrey Jennings ranks amongst the greatest film makers of twentieth century Britain. Although a relatively unknown figure to the wider public, his war-time documentaries are regarded by many (including Lord Puttnam, Lindsay Anderson and Mike Leigh) as amongst the finest films of their time. Groundbreaking both in terms of their technique and their interest in, and respect for, the everyday experiences of ordinary people, these films are much more than mere government propaganda. Instead, Jennings work offers an unparalleled window into the British home-front, and the hopes, fears and expectations of a nation fighting for its survival. Yet until now, Jennings has remained a shadowy figure; with his life and work lacking the sustained scholarly investigation and reassessment they deserve. As such film and social historians will welcome this new book which provides an up-to-date and thorough exploration of the relationships between Jennings life, ideas and films. Arguing that Jennings's film output can be viewed as part of a coherent intellectual exercise rather than just one aspect of the artistic interests of a wide ranging intellectual, Philip Logan, paints a much fuller and more convincing picture of the man than has previously been possible. He shows for the first time exactly how Jennings's artistic expression was influenced by the fundamental intellectual, social and cultural changes that shook British society during the first decades of the twentieth century. Combining biography, social history and international artistic thought, the book offers a fascinating insight into Jennings, his work, the wider British documentary film movement and the interaction between art and propaganda. Bringing together assessments of his tragically short life and his films this book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in British cinema or the social history of Britain in the 1930s and 40s.
