Bogolan

Bogolan

Victoria L. Rovine

Indiana University Press
2008
pokkari
Focusing on a single Malian textile identified variously as bogolanfini, bogolan, or mudcloth, Victoria L. Rovine traces the dramatic technical and stylistic innovations that have transformed the cloth from its village origins into a symbol of new internationalism. Rovine shows how the biography of this uniquely African textile reveals much about contemporary culture in urban Africa and about the global markets in which African art circulates. Bogolan has become a symbol of national and ethnic identities, an element of contemporary, urban fashion, and a lucrative product in tourist art markets. At the heart of this beautifully illustrated book are the artists, changing notions of tradition, nationalism, and the value of cloth making and marketing on a worldwide scale.

The House of Novello

The House of Novello

Victoria L. Cooper

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2003
sidottu
By the mid-nineteenth century music publishing was no longer the provenance of shopkeepers, instrument makers or individual scholars, but a business enterprise undertaken by a new breed of Victorian entrepreneur. Two such were Vincent Novello and his son Alfred, whose music publishing house enjoyed significant growth between 1829 and 1866. Victoria Cooper builds up a picture of Novello during this period and the socio-economic and cultural climate that influenced the company's business decisions. Looking in detail at some of the editions Novello published, she analyzes the editing style of the firm and how this was dictated by Novello's main audience of amateur musicians and choral societies. Scrutiny of Novello's stockbook indicates the financial fortunes of these editions, while correspondence between the firm and composers such as Mendelssohn reveals how Vincent and Alfred went about acquiring new compositions. With its focus on the development of a music publishing business, this study brings a fresh dimension to musicological research. Novello was able to combine business practice with a commitment to disseminate music of educational and artistic value, and the history of the company provides illuminating evidence of the commodification of music in nineteenth-century Britain.

Fight Like a Tiger

Fight Like a Tiger

Victoria L. Harrison

Southern Illinois University Press
2018
nidottu
Focusing on the life of ambitious former slave Conway Barbour, Victoria L. Harrison argues that the idea of a black middle class traced its origins to the free black population of the mid-nineteenth century and developed alongside the idea of a white middle class. Although slavery and racism meant that the definition of middle class was not identical for white people and free people of color, they shared similar desires for advancement.Born a slave in western Virginia about 1815, Barbour was a free man by the late 1840s. His adventurous life took him through Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky; Cleveland, Ohio; Alton, Illinois; and Little Rock and Lake Village, Arkansas. In search of upward mobility, he worked as a steamboat steward, tried his hand at several commercial ventures, and entered politics. He sought, but was denied, a Civil War military appointment that would have provided financial stability. Blessed with intelligence, competence, and energy, Barbour was quick to identify opportunities as they appeared in personal relationships—he was simultaneously married to two women—business, and politics.Despite an unconventional life, Barbour found in each place he lived that he was one of many free black people who fought to better themselves alongside their white countrymen. Harrison’s argument about black class formation reframes the customary narrative of downtrodden free African Americans in the mid-nineteenth century and engages current discussions of black inclusion, the concept of “otherness,” and the breaking down of societal barriers. Demonstrating that careful research can reveal the stories of people who have been invisible to history, Fight Like a Tiger complicates our understanding of the intersection of race and class in the Civil War era.

The Guided Heart

The Guided Heart

Victoria L Volk

pokkari
"When we discover within ourselves that we are stronger because of struggle, we take power away from the pain itself and the hold it has over us." - Victoria Volk, excerpt from The Guided Heart: Moving Through Grief and Finding Spiritual SolaceEvery one of us experiences grief at some point in life. There's a tendency to think of grief as losing a loved one; however, one can also experience grief after closing various chapters--such as a relationship or a business.Volk explains how her experience with grief due to the loss of her father during childhood was both the source of years of heartache and pain but also the birthplace of strength, spirituality, and empathy.The Guided Heart is not written from the perspective of someone with a doctorate degree, but from the heart of someone who's found a way to discover the other side of grief in adulthood. It's a coming-of-age story of an eight-year-old girl who, in her thirties, found the courage to lean into the pain of her past. In a world where it's commonplace to numb ourselves with self-sabotaging behavior, diving deep into our own misery is an unthinkable and unimaginable task. We know by doing so, we may be called to change--and change is uncomfortable and also takes courage.Courage, which by definition means strength in the face of pain or grief.Join Victoria on her journey from childhood grief into adulthood, and you, too, may find the strength to face your own pain or grief.
