Australians All A History of Growing Up from the Ice Age to the Apology【電子書籍】[ Nadia Wheatley ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>'I love history because it is story, but the very best thing about this story is that it is not finished. All of us are making history every moment of our lives.' Nadia Wheatley</p> <p><em>Australians All</em> encompasses the history of our continent from the Ice Age to the Apology, from the arrival of the First Fleet to the Mabo Judgement. Brief accounts of the lives of real young Australians open up this chronological narrative. Some of the subjects of the eighty mini-biographies have become nationally or even internationally famous. Others were legends in their own families and communities. Meticulously researched, beautifully written and highly readable, <em>Australians All</em> helps us understand who we are, and how we belong to the land we all share. It also shows us who we might be.</p> <p>'In Australian histories there is a particular group whose tales and presence and concerns are rarely narrated. These are the children and adolescents. They are depicted as mute sufferers of the decisions of elders (as were the children of the Depression), helpless victims of policy (the Stolen Generations) and the children of the Second World War (of whom I was one). They appear in most writing of history as mere passive accessories to what adults do. But their stories are our stories too, and their stories are our history, and Nadia Wheatley, that great writer, tells that wide-ranging story in a way so imaginative and colourful that it would attract any young person, and make young readers feel that many of their personal struggles have been faced before, by children of the past and present. Nadia has performed an essential service to history and the young.' - Thomas Keneally</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,841円

Patronage in Early Christianity Its Use and Transformation from Jesus to Paul of Samosata【電子書籍】[ Alan B. Wheatley ]

<p>How did the community we glimpse in the New Testament become an institution quite willing to have the emperor Constantine as a primary public partner? By tracing the use of resources, titles, and functions of leaders and patterns of honor giving, Wheatley traces from a wide variety of sources both acceptance and revision of Roman patronage in this countercultural community.

My Name Is Phillis Wheatley A Story of Slavery and Freedom【電子書籍】[ Afua Cooper ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This is the remarkable story of Phillis Wheatley, who is born into an African family of griots, or storytellers, but captured by slave raiders and forced aboard a slave ship, where appalling conditions spell death for many of her companions. Numerous sharks follow the ship, feeding on the corpses of slaves thrown overboard.</p> <p>Weakened by the voyage and near death in a Boston slave market, Wheatley is bought by a kind family who nurses her back to health and teaches her to read and write. Soon her mistress recognizes that the girl is a quick learner and talented. At the age of 12, a torrent of poetry begins to flow out of Wheatley. Proud of her achievements, her mistress organizes readings in Boston's finest parlors and drawing rooms, and Wheatley's fame spreads. But even when many in Boston are calling her a prodigy and a genius, some remain unsure that a slave should be able to write, much less write poetry. When Phillis travels to London she is a media sensation, feted by the cream of English society. A book of her poems is published, and she finally gains her freedom.</p> <p>This amazing story, wide in scope, is based on fact and told convincingly from young Wheatley's point of view.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,459円

Her Mother's Daughter: A Memoir【電子書籍】[ Nadia Wheatley ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>"Why didn't you and Daddy want people to give you any wedding presents?" I used to ask. But my mother could never be drawn into talking about the wedding. Later, I assumed it was because she did not wish to be reminded of the ghastly mistake she had made in marrying my father.</em></p> <p>Born in Australia in 1949, author Nadia Wheatley grew up with a sense of the mystery of her parents’ marriage. Caught in the crossfire between an independent woman and a controlling man, the child became a player in the deadly game. Was she her mother’s daughter, or her father’s creature?</p> <p>After her mother’s death, the ten-year-old began writing down the stories her mother had told herーof a Cinderella-like childhood, followed by an escape into a career as an army nurse in Palestine and Greece, and as an aid-worker in the refugee camps of post-war Germany. Some fifty years later, the finished memoir is not only a loving tribute but an investigation of the bewildering processes of memory itself.</p> <p><strong>Nadia Wheatley</strong> is an Australian writer whose publications range from biography and history to fiction and picture books. Her biography <em>The Life and Myth of Charmian Clift</em> was the <em>Age</em> Book of the Year, Non-fiction, and is the only biography to have won the Australian History Prize, NSW Premier's History Awards.</p> <p>‘One of the greatest Australian biographies…a work which never confuses itself with fiction but which has the same readability and flair and command of tempo. It’s a hell of a story.’ <strong>Peter Craven, <em>Sydney Morning Herald</em> on <em>The Life and Myth of Charmian Clift</em>.</strong></p> <p>‘Outstanding...a rare feat in Australian literary biography.’ <strong><em>Weekend Australian</em> on <em>The Life and Myth of Charmian Clift</em></strong></p> <p>‘An important addition to the history of Australian social life and a vivid insight into how individual people can be controlled by repressive social attitudes. Wheatley reminds us of the difference between how family life is supposed to be and how it is actually experienced.’ <em><strong>Inside Story</strong></em></p> <p>‘In a moving and beautifully written memoir, Wheatley brings to life her mother’s adventures…My bet is that this fascinating book will prove to be an award-winner. Highly recommended.’ <em><strong>Courier-Mail</strong></em></p> <p><em>‘[Her] Mother’s Daughter</em> is one of the most devastating examples of gaslighting that I have ever read. It is not only a beautiful rendering of an “ordinary” life, it is also a significant social history of wartime Europe and post-war Australia.’ <em><strong>Australian</strong></em></p> <p>‘<em>Her Mother's Daughter</em> is a great read for two reasons. Firstly, it provides a thoughtful, authentic - sometimes exciting, sometimes disturbing - social history of the times. And secondly, with Wheatley's ability to write engaging narratives, it makes for engrossing, moving, provocative reading. I do recommend it.’ <em><strong>Whispering Gums</strong></em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,326円

Complete Writings【電子書籍】[ Phillis Wheatley ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>The extraordinary writings of Phillis Wheatley, a formerly enslaved woman turned published poet</strong></p> <p>In 1761, a young girl arrived in Boston on a ship of enslaved people, was sold to the Wheatley family, and given the name Phillis Wheatley. After studying English and classical literature, geography, the Bible, and Latin, Phillis published her first poem in 1767 at the age of 14, winning much public attention and considerable fame. When Boston publishers who doubted its authenticity rejected an initial collection of her poetry, Wheatley sailed to London in 1773 and found a publisher there for <em>Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral.</em></p> <p>This volume collects both Wheatley's letters and her poetry: hymns, elegies, translations, philosophical poems, tales, and epyllions--including a poignant plea to the Earl of Dartmouth urging freedom for America and comparing the country's condition to her own. With her contemplative elegies and her use of the poetic imagination to escape an unsatisfactory world, Wheatley anticipated the Romantic Movement of the following century. The appendices to this edition include poems of Wheatley's contemporary African-American poets: Lucy Terry, Jupiter Harmon, and Francis Williams.</p> <p>For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 777円

Heav'nly Tidings From the Afric Muse The Grace and Genius of Phillis Wheatley【電子書籍】[ Richard Kigel ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em><strong>Foreword by award-winning poet Nikki Giovanni!</strong></em></p> <p>“Phillis Wheatley is the mother of the African American literary tradition and ‘the sable muse’ of the American Revolution. With this masterful biography, she will be restored to her rightful place as a major figure in the intellectual history of the fledgling American Republic. Every student and scholar of American literature should read this well-written and carefully researched biography.”ー<strong>Henry Louis Gates, Jr.</strong>, Harvard University</p> <p>"Richard Kigel brings the passion of a master teacher to his biography of Phillis Wheatley, survivor of the Middle Passage and poet extraordinaire of the eighteenth-century Atlantic. He makes clear that Wheatley is a proper heroine for our history-hungry times."ー<strong>Marcus Rediker</strong>, author of <em>The Slave Ship</em> and <em>The Amistad Rebellion</em></p> <p>"...not only timely but also written out of a robust respect for this poet whose eloquence subverted the stereotype of the African. This book captures a young woman in bondage who possessed the courage and audacity to rise within that peculiar institution to speak as a seer, as an early American poet who dared to praise the imagination as the capstone of human experience. Kigel gives us a servant of language, a truth-teller who survived with an amazing grace, and whose dynamic work continues to challenge us across centuries."ー <strong>Yusef Komunyakaa</strong> is an internationally acclaimed poet, Pulitzer Prize winner and finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, whose poetry can be found in the collection <em>The 100 Best African American Poems.</em></p> <p>SHE SURVIVED the horrific Middle Passage as a child and was purchased as a slave in 1761. By the time she turned twenty Phillis Wheatley became the most famous person of African descent in the world. In a culture dominated by white supremacy, she forced those around her to acknowledge her humanity and confront the inequity of her status as a slave. Heav’nly Tidings From the Afric Muse shows how Phillis Wheatley wrote her way to freedom.</p> <p>Her own words, taken from her writings, resurrect the spirit of the classic poet, who managed to launch two literary traditions at once: African-American literature and women’s literature. Phillis Wheatley has taken her rightful place among our Founding Fathers and Mothers as the true “Poet Laureate” of the American Revolution.</p> <p>Phillis Wheatley was</p> <ul> <li>Poet Laureate of the American Revolution</li> <li>Most widely known African-American in the world in her time</li> <li>First personified the American symbol “Columbia” in poetry</li> <li>Knew George Washington</li> <li>Arrived on a slave ship and was sold about age seven</li> <li>Made a literary tour of London in 1773</li> <li>Published a book of poems in London that arrived on the Dartmouth with the tea that was dumped in the “Boston Tea Party.”</li> </ul>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,650円

The Right to Write The Literary Politics of Anne Bradstreet and Phillis Wheatley【電子書籍】[ Kathrynn Seidler Engberg ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>The Right to Write</em> examines how the early American poets Anne Bradstreet and Phillis Wheatley gained agency within a traditionally patriarchal field of literary production. Tracing the careers of Bradstreet and Wheatley through the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Engberg shows that these women used their positions within society to network themselves into publication. Each woman represents a unique way in which a majority of early American women negotiated their roles as both women and writers while influencing the political and social fabric of the new republic. Examining the context in which these women worked, Engberg provides a window into the social conditions and aesthetic decisions they negotiated in order to write. This is not simply a historical and literary examination of the field of literary production; this study provides new conceptions of early American women's writing that are valuable to feminist inquiry. Engberg's research is innovative and recaptures a part of early American literary history.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,207円

Restoring Sanity Practices to Awaken Generosity, Creativity, and Kindness in Ourselves and Our Organizations【電子書籍】[ Margaret J. Wheatley ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>What Would It Be Like to Restore Sanity? What would it be like to work together again in creative and generous ways? What would it be like to be curious about who you're with rather than judging or fearing them? What would it be like to engage together in exploring possibilities rather than withdrawing in conflict or disagreement? What would it be like to be working well together?</strong></p> <p>From 50 years working with leaders globally, I state with full confidence that leadership has never been more difficult. And it's not our fault. We've been good and caring leaders, we've led people in empowering, engaging ways to create meaningful, productive work. But now we face external conditions far beyond our control to change, dynamics intensifying at shocking speed.</p> <p>The perfect storm is here, created by the coalescence of climate and human-created catastrophes. As leaders dedicated to serving the causes and people we treasure, confronted by this unrelenting tsunami, what are we to do? I state my answer to this also with full confidence:</p> <p><strong>We need to restore sanity by awakening the human spirit. We can achieve this only if we undertake the most challenging and meaningful work of our leader lives: Creating Islands of Sanity.</strong></p> <p>An Island of Sanity is a gift of possibility and refuge created by people's commitment to form healthy community to do meaningful work. It requires sane leaders with unshakable faith in people's innate generosity, creativity, and kindness. It sets itself apart as an island to protect itself from the life-destroying dynamics, policies, and behaviors that oppress and deny the human spirit. No matter what is happening around us, we can discover practices that enliven our human spirits and produce meaningful contributions for this time.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,912円

Maternal Metaphors of Power in African American Women's Literature From Phillis Wheatley to Toni Morrison【電子書籍】[ Geneva Cobb Moore ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>An in-depth examination of Black women's experiences as portrayed in literature throughout American history</strong></p> <p>Geneva Cobb Moore deftly combines literature, history, criticism, and theory in <em>Maternal Metaphors of Power in African American Women's Literature</em> by offering insight into the historical black experience from slavery to freedom as depicted in the literature of nine female writers across several centuries.</p> <p>Moore traces black women writers' creation of feminine and maternal metaphors of power in literature from the colonial-era work of Phillis Wheatley to the postmodern efforts of Paule Marshall, Alice Walker, and Toni Morrison. Through their characters Moore shows how these writers re-created the identity of black women and challenge existing rules shaping their subordinate status and behavior. Drawing on feminist, psychoanalytic, and other social science theory, Moore examines the maternal iconography and counter-hegemonic narratives by which these writers responded to oppressive conventions of race, gender, and authority.</p> <p>Moore grounds her account in studies of Wheatley, Harriet Jacobs, Charlotte Forten Grimk?, Jessie Fauset, Nella Larsen, and Zora Neale Hurston. All these authors, she contends, wrote against invisibility and powerlessness by developing and cultivating a personal voice and an individual story of vulnerability, nurturing capacity, and agency that confounded prevailing notions of race and gender and called into question moral reform.</p> <p>In these nine writers' construction of feminine imagesーreal and symbolicーMoore finds a shared sense of the historically significant role of black women in the liberation struggle during slavery, the Jim Crow period, and beyond.</p> <p>A foreword is offer by Andrew Billingsley, a pioneering sociologist and a leading scholar in African American studies.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 7,959円

<p>In a market long dominated by Hollywood, French films are consistently the most widely distributed non-English language works. French cinema, however, appears to undergo a transformation as it reaches Britain, becoming something quite different to that experienced by audiences at home. Drawing on extensive archival research the authors examine in detail the discourses, debates and decisions which have determined the place accorded to French cinema in British film culture. In so doing they provide a fascinating account of this particular instance of transnational cinematic traffic while simultaneously shedding new light on British film history. From the early days of the Film Society, via the advent of the X certificate to the new possibilities of video and DVD, this book reveals the complex and detailed history of the distribution, exhibition, marketing and reception of French cinema in Britain.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,517円
