Library Journal Best Historical Fiction 2017 "A powerful, authentic voice for a generation of women whose struggles were erased from history--a heart-smashing debut that completely satisfies."--Jamie Ford, New York Times bestselling author of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet Philadelphia, 1883. Twenty-three-year-old Lilli de Jong is pregnant and alone--abandoned by her lover and banished from her Quaker home. She gives birth at a charity for wronged women, planning to give up the baby. But the power of their bond sets her on a completely unexpected path. Unwed mothers in 1883 face staggering prejudice, yet Lilli refuses to give up her baby girl. Instead, she braves moral condemnation and financial ruin in a quest to keep the two of them alive. Lilli confides this story to her diary as it unfolds, taking readers from a charity for unwed mothers to a wealthy family's home and onto the streets of a burgeoning American city. Her story offers a rare and harrowing view into a time when a mother's milk is crucial for infant survival. Written with startling intimacy and compassion, this accomplished novel is both a rich historical depiction and a testament to the saving force of a woman's love.

Agrarian Reform in Theory and Practice

Agrarian Reform in Theory and Practice

Jane Benton

Routledge
2018
sidottu
Published in 1999. Despite the attempts of a number of Latin American republics to redistribute land resources and carry out agrarian reform programmes, ’the land question’ remains a vital political issue throughout the region. This book focuses on Bolivia, where government proposals to replace a radical agrarian reform law of 1953 with a neo-liberal Ley INRA provoked heated public debate and violent campesino clashes with the police (witnessed by the author) in September/October 1996. The first five chapters are largely concerned with theoretical aspects and a review of Bolivia’s agrarian reform legislation: the remaining six chapters are devoted to an analysis, from the viewpoints of participant campesinos and the researcher, of agricultural change in Aymara communities beside Lake Titicaca, where the author has conducted research over nearly 30 years. Currently lakeside farming is under severe threat as a result of land degradation, limited cash resources, rural-urban migration, tourism and commuterisation.

"Some towns keep their history in glass display cases in a museum with creaky wooden floors", Burt Benson often said. However, in this fictional story centered in the small Midwest town of Taylor Bend, seven decades of American history seep through the sturdy brick walls of Benson's Garage. The roaring '20s find Burt devising a plan to set up a mechanic's workshop and gas station, as he becomes enthralled with the growing popularity of Henry Ford's automobiles. It doesn't take long for Burt's garage to turn into the hub of local news, especially when the country is grappling with the spread of tuberculosis and then later with a second world war. Meanwhile the Benson family marches through its own trauma spanning across three generations.

The Temple of Mut in Asher

The Temple of Mut in Asher

Margaret Benson; Janet Gourlay

Cambridge University Press

Margaret Benson (1865–1916), the fourth of six children of the archbishop of Canterbury E. W. Benson, was a brilliant scholar at Oxford who found an escape from the conventional life of housekeeping for her father when she travelled to Egypt for her health in 1895. She obtained permission to excavate a site, of which she candidly admits that the authorities had no expectations (or they would not have entrusted it to such inexperienced amateurs). She and her close friend Janet Gourlay (1863–1912), who had briefly studied archaeology under Flinders Petrie, published this account of their discoveries at the temple of Mut at Karnak in 1899. It contains an overview of the site and its context in Egyptian history, with an account of the three seasons of excavation and a section on Egyptian religion. The highly illustrated book concludes with translations of the many inscriptions found in the temple remains.
