Synopsis

Bread Lines Grow examines the profound crisis of urban hunger in the United States during 1932, a pivotal year in the Great Depression. It analyzes the political, social, and economic factors that led to widespread food insecurity, and investigates the diverse strategies employed to combat it. The book highlights that existing social safety nets were woefully inadequate, and the scale of suffering forced a re-evaluation of the government's role in providing for its citizens, laying the groundwork for the New Deal.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the economic and social landscape of 1932, then comparing the effectiveness of various local hunger relief efforts across cities like New York and Chicago. Finally, it explores the political debates surrounding government intervention versus individual responsibility.

 
By focusing on 1932, Bread Lines Grow provides an in-depth look at the intersection of individual suffering, community responses, and governmental actions during a crucial period in American history, making it valuable for understanding the origins of American social welfare and the ongoing challenges of poverty.

    For centuries, medieval history books have told the stories of noble queens, dutiful housewives, and cloistered nuns—but what about the single women who lived, worked, and thrived in medieval Europe? The Secret Lives of Single Medieval Women reveals the overlooked yet fascinating lives of middle age women who did not fit the conventional mold. From unmarried tradeswomen and widows to vowesses and nuns, these women carved their own paths in a world that often sought to define them by their marital status. 
     
    While medieval and Middle Ages society dictated that a woman's worth was tied to marriage and family, countless single women built lives of resilience and ingenuity. Some ran successful businesses, others devoted themselves to education or faith, and many simply found ways to survive within a rigid social structure. This book sheds light on their stories, proving that history is far richer and more complex than the narratives we've been told. 
     
    Whether running businesses, navigating religious life, or simply surviving societal expectations, these women played a crucial role in shaping medieval society. Rich with historical records, poetry, and legal documents, this medieval history book brings to light the personal stories of those often left out of traditional narratives.

    Many White Christians feel convicted when they hear of racial injustice but aren't sure what they can do. They often become overwhelmed by deep divisions, conflicting priorities, and historical burdens. They need a clearer vision for engagement with racial justice and reconciliation that goes beyond easy answers or simplistic optimism. Isn't there anyone who has found a way forward? 
     
    Anthropologist Christine Jeske has studied precisely this question. Her one-of-a-kind research started by asking people of color about their work and experience with White advocates of racial justice. She then studied the postures, ideas, and actions of those they recommended as positive examples. 
     
    In Racial Justice for the Long Haul, Jeske presents her findings on what makes for an effective, enduring approach, revealing shared threads in the lives of White Christians who have faithfully embraced the call to advocate for justice. By abandoning simplistic answers and confronting the depths of suffering and injustice, they discover a bold way of hope that perseveres. This book features a unique methodology of interviews with Christian leaders of color and White advocates, makes qualitative ethnographic research accessible, and provides concrete examples of how White Christians can grow―and persist―in working for racial justice.
