Summary

In "Letters of a Woman Homesteader," Elinore Pruitt Stewart presents a captivating collection of letters that vividly recounts her experiences as a homesteader in the early 20th century American West. Through her engaging narrative style, Stewart masterfully blends personal anecdotes with a broader commentary on the struggles and triumphs of women in a predominantly male-dominated frontier society. The letters, written with genuine emotion and keen observation, capture not only the harsh realities of rural life but also the indomitable spirit of resilience and self-discovery that defined this era. Stewart's work stands as an essential document of the American literary landscape, contributing to the canon of Western literature while offering an authentic female perspective often overlooked in historical records. Elinore Pruitt Stewart, born in 1871 in Kansas, embraced the challenges of homesteading with remarkable courage and insight, drawing upon her own life experiences as a single mother and pioneer. Her journey to Wyoming led her to uncover the nuances of community, labor, and identity amidst a backdrop of breathtaking landscapes and societal expectations. Stewart's writings reflect her deep appreciation of the natural world and her commitment to carving out a space for women in history, making her a significant voice in early American literature. This book is a heartfelt invitation for readers to explore the untold narratives of women pioneers. Stewart's eloquent prose and vivid descriptions resonate with contemporary themes of empowerment and individuality, making this collection not only an enlightening historical account but also an inspiring read for anyone interested in the complexities of human experience against the backdrop of the American frontier.

    Winner of IASPM Book Prize, given by IASPM, 2023Winner of the Bruno Nettl Prize, given by the Society for Ethnomusicology, 2023Joint-Winner of the Ruth Stone Prize (with Jessica Perrea), given by the Society for Ethnomusicology, 2023This book is an ethnographic study of sound archives and the processes of creative decolonization that form alternative modes of archiving and curating in the 21st century. It explores the histories and afterlives of sound collections and practices at the International Library of African Music. Sound Fragments follows what happens when a colonial sound archive is repurposed and reimagined by local artists in post-apartheid South Africa. The narrative speaks to larger issues in sound studies, curatorial practices, and the reciprocity and ethics of listening to and reclaiming culture. Sound Fragments interrogates how Xhosa arts activism contributes to an expanding notion of what a sound or cultural archive could be, and where it may resonate now and in future.

    In The Healing Way I share with you my journey through a life burdened by abuse. My hope is that my journey and all that I learned will be a catalyst for your own growth. If you are read¬ing this, I know you have the desire to live without the pain of abuse. You have the same desire to live a healthy life that everyone has. I also know you have more courage within than you think. And somehow the courage will give you the ability to take the risks necessary to change your life. By sharing my journey and all the things I learned, I want to bring you hope. Hope that you can recover from abuse and live a healthy, functional life. In this book, I write about behaviors and attitudes which will help you become a better person. I am not writing about being a good person. Nor am I saying you will become a person who meets others’ expecta¬tions. Becoming a better person means to me, and I hope it begins to mean to you:a person who is willing to learn new behaviors, become more self-aware, and see other perspectives of the pain deep within. The Healing Way talks about the complexities and dynamics of abuse. The behaviors and practices to learn to become a health¬ier person. Specific steps for healing and simple, human knowledge which we rarely learn from parents, teachers, or peers. I had to author this book, because I have experienced and seen the pain abuse brings to individ¬uals, our culture, and our world. From my heart, I hope The Healing Way will help you live a more fulfilling life. Rev. Lillie Henley

    Alistair Moffat tells the extraordinary story of the Highlands in the most detailed book ever written about this remarkable part of Scotland.
This is the story of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland as it has never been told before. From the formation of the landscape millions of years ago to the twenty-first century, it brings to life the events and the people who have shaped Highland history, from saints, sinners and outlaws to monarchs, clan chiefs and warriors.
Highly readable and informative, it mines a wide range of sources including medieval manuscripts and sagas, poetry and popular culture. Picts, Romans, Irish missionaries, Vikings, Jacobites and the flood of emigrants who left to forge new lives abroad are just some of the important players in the drama. As he paints the bigger picture, Alistair Moffat also introduces many key aspects of Highland culture and explores the experience of ordinary Highlanders and Islanders over thousands of years.
