Amor and Exile: True Stories of Love Across America's Borders

Amor and Exile: True Stories of Love Across America's Borders

Nicole R. Salgado; Nathaniel Hoffman

Cordillera West Books
2013

ACROSS the United States, American citizens are forced underground, exiled abroad and separated from their spouses for a surprising reason. Amor and Exile is the story of American citizens-including Veronica, Ben, J.W., and Nicole-who fall in love with undocumented immigrants only to find themselves trapped in a legal labyrinth, stymied by their country's de facto exclusion of their partners. Journalist Nathaniel Hoffman visited both sides of the border to document the lives of these couples caught in the crossfire of America's high stakes political fight over immigration. In his disarming and precise style, Hoffman also traces the historical relationship between immigration, love and marriage. Lending an authentic voice to Amor and Exile, coauthor Nicole Salgado delivers a searing first-person account of life in the U.S. with her husband while he was undocumented, her tortured decision to leave the country with him, and their seven years of exile and starting over together in Mexico. Amor and Exile tells of love that transcends borders-a story shared by hundreds of thousands of U.S. citizens-cutting through the immigration debate rhetoric and providing a courageous perspective for one of the most vexing policy problems of our time. Early praise for Amor and Exile "Immigration, at its core, is about the constantly changing American story, at the heart of this timely and important book. Immigration is not about 'the border.' It's about families, it's about communities, and as Nathaniel and Nicole vividly tell, it's about love." - Jose Antonio Vargas, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, filmmaker and founder of Define American "Beautifully told love stories that illuminate the many ways in which immigration can enrich our lives." - Helen Thorpe, author of Just Like Us: The True Story of Four Mexican Girls Coming of Age in America "The plight of same-sex binational couples is one of the nation's most significant untold stories. This moving, gripping book brings to life the serious injustice and struggle that discriminatory laws impose. As someone who is part of such a couple, I'm grateful that there's finally a book examining all aspects of this issue-and an outstanding book at that." - Glenn Greenwald, Guardian columnist, former constitutional lawyer and author of How Would a Patriot Act? "A mesmerizing, important look at some of the most overlooked people in the immigration debate-U.S. citizens who follow their deported loved ones into an agonizing exile... Amor and Exile deserves a wide readership." - Ellin Jimmerson, Ph.D., historian, theologian and writer/director of "The Second Cooler," an award-winning migrant justice documentary, narrated by Martin Sheen

Troubling Vision

Troubling Vision

Nicole R. Fleetwood

University of Chicago Press
2011
sidottu
In 2001 Renee Cox's "Yo Mama's Last Supper" was exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum. Cox's photographic recreation of Leonardo da Vinci's painting features an almost all black cast and the artist, nude, standing in for Jesus. The intense controversy that erupted testifies to the enduring power of images of black bodies to unsettle and disturb viewers. Over the course of the twentieth century, as black visibility rose across a variety of media, scholars in art history and media studies began to analyze how audiences view black subjects, while performance and theater studies scholars examined black self-presentation. "Troubling Vision" bridges the gap between these divergent approaches, arguing that grasping the cultural meaning of blackness relies on understanding both performance and vision. Taking into account this fixation on black visibility, Nicole R. Fleetwood explores how blackness is always a troubling presence in the field of vision and the black body is persistently seen as a problem. Fleetwood examines a wide range of materials from visual and media art, documentary photography, theater and performance, fashion advertising, and celebrity culture. Based on her trenchant analysis of this work, Fleetwood investigates the various ways black cultural producers disrupt dominant notions of black identity and the black body.

The Civic Cycles

The Civic Cycles

Nicole R. Rice; Margaret Aziza Pappano

University of Notre Dame Press
2015
nidottu
The civic religious drama of late medieval England—financed, produced, and performed by craftspeople—offers one of the earliest forms of written literature by a non-elite group in Europe. In this innovative study, Nicole R. Rice and Margaret Aziza Pappano trace an artisanal perspective on medieval and early modern civic relations, analyzing selected plays from the cities of York and Chester individually and from a comparative perspective, in dialogue with civic records. Positing a complex view of relations among merchants, established artisans, wage laborers, and women, the two authors show how artisans used the cycle plays to not only represent but also perform their interests, suggesting that the plays were the major means by which the artisans participated in civic polity. In addition to examining selected plays in the context of artisanal social and economic practices, Rice and Pappano also address relations between performance and historical transformation, considering how these plays, staged for nearly two centuries, responded to changes in historical conditions. In particular, they pay attention to how the pressures of Reformist governments influenced the meaning and performance of the civic religious drama in both towns. Ultimately, the authors provide a new perspective on how artisans can be viewed as social actors and agents in England in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.

The Medieval Hospital

The Medieval Hospital

Nicole R. Rice

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME PRESS
2023

Nicole Rice's original study analyzes the role played by late medieval English hospitals as sites of literary production and cultural contestation. The hospitals of late medieval England defy easy categorization. They were institutions of charity, medical care, and liturgical commemoration. At the same time, hospitals were cultural spaces sponsoring the performance of drama, the composition of medical texts, and the reading of devotional prose and vernacular poetry. Such practices both reflected and connected the disparate groups—regular religious, ill and poor people, well-off retirees—that congregated in hospitals. Nicole Rice's The Medieval Hospital offers the first book-length study of the place of hospitals in English literary history and cultural practice. Rice highlights three English hospitals as porous sites whose practices translated into textual engagements with some of urban society's most pressing concerns: charity, health, devotion, and commerce. Within these institutions, medical compendia treated the alarming bodies of women and religious anthologies translated Augustinian devotional practices for lay readers. Looking outward, religious drama and socially charged poetry publicized and interrogated hospitals' caring functions within urban charitable economies. Hospitals provided the auspices, audiences, and authors of such disparate literary works, propelling these texts into urban social life. Between ca. 1350 and ca. 1550, English hospitals saw massive changes in their fortunes, from the devastation of the Black Death, to various fifteenth-century reform initiatives, to the creeping dissolutions of religious houses under Henry VIII and Edward VI. This volume investigates how hospitals defined and defended themselves with texts and in some cases reinvented themselves, using literary means to negotiate changed religious landscapes.

The revolutionary roots of the artists collective known as the Impressionists--and the course they charted for modern art The Impressionist Revolution: Monet to Matisse from the Dallas Museum of Art chronicles the evolution of a movement, from its inception in 1874 to its early twentieth-century legacy. The Impressionists--whose pioneering members included Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and Berthe Morisot--deviated from artistic norms in subject matter, style, and exhibition practices, reshaping the definition of artistic innovation at the time and beyond. Drawing exclusively from the Dallas Museum of Art's collection, this book illuminates the genesis of the Impressionist collective, its key figures, and what made their work so revolutionary. The narrative extends beyond the group's final exhibition in 1886, exploring how Post-Impressionists both embraced and challenged Impressionist aesthetics, influencing a fresh wave of artists--including Henri Matisse, Piet Mondrian, and Alexei Jawlensky--who ushered in a new avant-garde for the early twentieth century.

Casting Off: 1. Ending a knitted work. 2. Releasing lines holding a boat to its mooring. 3. Letting go... On a tiny island off the west coast of Ireland, the fishermen's handmade sweaters tell a story. Each is unique-feelings stitched into rows, memories into patterns. It is here that Rebecca Moray comes to research a book on Irish knitting. With her daughter, Rowan, accompanying her, she hopes to lose herself in the history of the island and forget her own painful past. Soon, the townsfolk's warm embrace wraps Rebecca and Rowan in a world of friendship, laughter, and love. And it is here that young Rowan befriends Sean Morahan, a cantankerous old fisherman, despite his attempts to scare her off. As Rebecca watches her daughter interact with Morahan, she recognizes in his eyes a look that speaks of a dark knowledge not unlike her own. And when current storms threaten to resurrect old ones, Morahan and Rebecca find themselves on a collision course-with Rowan caught between them-each buffeted by waves of regret and recrimination. Only by walking headfirst into the winds will they find the faith to forgive without forgetting...and reach the shore.

Lay Piety and Religious Discipline in Middle English Literature

Lay Piety and Religious Discipline in Middle English Literature

Nicole R. Rice

Cambridge University Press
2009
sidottu
In late-fourteenth-century England, the persistent question of how to live the best life preoccupied many pious Christians. One answer was provided by a new genre of prose guides that adapted professional religious rules and routines for lay audiences. These texts engaged with many of the same cultural questions as poets like Langland and Chaucer; however, they have not received the critical attention they deserve until now. Nicole Rice analyses how the idea of religious discipline was translated into varied literary forms in an atmosphere of religious change and controversy. By considering the themes of spiritual discipline, religious identity, and orthodoxy in Langland and Chaucer, the study also brings fresh perspectives to bear on Piers Plowman and The Canterbury Tales. This juxtaposition of spiritual guidance and poetry will form an important contribution to our understanding of both authors and of late medieval religious practice and thought.

Hugh Reid is a fisherman from Scotland's Orkney Islands who grew up listening to the dusty stories told by dusty men. Young and stubborn, he never gave them much regard, always dismissing them as mere remnants from the islands' Norse settlers. However, an unusually harsh season of spring storms throws him into contact with legendary beings and forces him to not only become aware of his magical heritage, but to also embrace it in order to save the world from suffering a fate of eternal winter. A powerful spae-wife, a wise Nuggle, and a magical dian-stane prove to him that the mythical world is much more real and much more dangerous than the stories ever hinted at. With his new-found selkie sister and finman father at his side, Hugh must learn the wild ways of magic in order to restore the balance of the seasons, and he must do so faster than is fair.

Winner of the National Book Critics Circle AwardA Smithsonian Book of the YearA New York Review of Books “Best of 2020” SelectionA New York Times Best Art Book of the YearAn Art Newspaper Book of the YearA powerful document of the inner lives and creative visions of men and women rendered invisible by America’s prison system.More than two million people are currently behind bars in the United States. Incarceration not only separates the imprisoned from their families and communities; it also exposes them to shocking levels of deprivation and abuse and subjects them to the arbitrary cruelties of the criminal justice system. Yet, as Nicole Fleetwood reveals, America’s prisons are filled with art. Despite the isolation and degradation they experience, the incarcerated are driven to assert their humanity in the face of a system that dehumanizes them.Based on interviews with currently and formerly incarcerated artists, prison visits, and the author’s own family experiences with the penal system, Marking Time shows how the imprisoned turn ordinary objects into elaborate works of art. Working with meager supplies and in the harshest conditions—including solitary confinement—these artists find ways to resist the brutality and depravity that prisons engender. The impact of their art, Fleetwood observes, can be felt far beyond prison walls. Their bold works, many of which are being published for the first time in this volume, have opened new possibilities in American art.As the movement to transform the country’s criminal justice system grows, art provides the imprisoned with a political voice. Their works testify to the economic and racial injustices that underpin American punishment and offer a new vision of freedom for the twenty-first century.

On Racial Icons

What meaning does the American public attach to images of key black political, social, and cultural figures? Considering photography’s role as a means of documenting historical progress, what is the representational currency of these images? How do racial icons “signify”? Nicole R. Fleetwood’s answers to these questions will change the way you think about the next photograph that you see depicting a racial event, black celebrity, or public figure. In On Racial Icons, Fleetwood focuses a sustained look on photography in documenting black public life, exploring the ways in which iconic images function as celebrations of national and racial progress at times or as a gauge of collective racial wounds in moments of crisis. Offering an overview of photography’s ability to capture shifting race relations, Fleetwood spotlights in each chapter a different set of iconic images in key sectors of public life. She considers flash points of racialized violence in photographs of Trayvon Martin and Emmett Till; the political, aesthetic, and cultural shifts marked by the rise of pop stars such as Diana Ross; and the power and precarity of such black sports icons as Serena Williams and LeBron James; and she does not miss Barack Obama and his family along the way. On Racial Icons is an eye-opener in every sense of the phrase. Images from the book. (http://rutgerspress.rutgers.edu/pages/Fleetwood.aspx)

On October 24, 1911 Augusta Knabe had a dream. In it she saw a big black snake winding its way between her and her cousin, Dr. Helene Elise Hermine Knabe. The snake, with its sharp, spiky fangs, leered at the two women, almost begging them to make a move. They were frozen with fright, clinging to each other. It was ready to strike, and it was only a matter of time before it had its way.Augusta awoke with a start, drenched in sweat. Her eyes darted around the darkness and as her mind came out of the dream, Augusta heard familiar sounds- the ticking of her clock, a horse clopping down the street, the creaks of her stepfather's house on Bates Street. Augusta was sure she was just feeling guilty. She'd decided not to have tea with Helene yesterday after shopping. It was just that the streetcars got so crowded around that time...Slowly, Augusta returned to a fitful sleep.When she awoke in the morning, Augusta made her way to school No. 33, Whittier School to teach German for the day. Shortly after she arrived at school, Katherine McPherson, Dr. Knabe's assistant, phoned her, "Something terrible happened to Dr. Knabe."Augusta arrived at Dr. Knabe's apartment within half an hour. She noticed the blinds in Dr. Knabe's laboratory and bedroom were up and lights were burning. Katherine met Augusta in Dr. Knabe's office. Dr, Knabe was dead. Her throat cut to the spinal bone. But who did it?
