Book Description
Taking young readers on a journey back in time, this dynamic series showcases various aspects of colonial life, from people and clothing to homes and food. Each book contains creative illustrations, interesting facts, highlighted vocabulary words, end-of-book challenges, and sidebars that help children understand the differences between modern and colonial life and inspire them to imagine what it would have been like to grow up in colonial America. The volumes in this series focus on the colonists but also include relevant information about Native Americans, offering a variety of perspectives on life in the colonies. A picture of domestic life in colonial times, this reference discusses the construction of the first colonial homes in Jamestown; the mysterious disappearance of the Roanoke colony; the wattle-and-daub houses built by colonists in Massachusetts; Swedish-influenced log cabins; and Native American tipis, longhouses, and wigwams.
Domestic Colonies

Book Description
Modern colonization is generally defined as a process by which a state settles and dominates a foreign land and people. This book argues that through the nineteenth and into the first half of the twentieth centuries, thousands of domestic colonies were proposed and/or created by governments and civil society organizations for fellow citizens as opposed to foreigners and within their own borders rather than overseas. Such colonies sought to solve every social problem arising within industrializing and urbanizing states. Domestic Colonies argues that colonization ought to be seen during this period as a domestic policy designed to solve social problems at home as well as foreign policy designed to expand imperial power. Three kind of domestic colonies are analysed in this book: labour colonies for the idle poor, farm colonies for the mentally ill and disabled, and utopian colonies for racial, religious, and political minorities. All of them were justified by an ideology of colonialism that argued if people were segregated in colonies located on empty land and engaged in agrarian labour, this would improve both the people and the land. Key domestic colonialists analysed in this book include Alexis de Tocqueville, Abraham Lincoln, Peter Kropotkin, Robert Owen, and Booker T. Washington. The turn inward to colony thus requires us to rethink the meaning and scope of colonization and colonialism in modern political theory and practice.

Home Life in Colonial Days

Pages : 306
Book Description
A book which throws new light on our early history, "Home Life in Colonial Days" is a charming holiday gift of most unusual value, appealing to everyone who is of colonial blood; to everyone who now lives in the homes so greatly changed; and to every woman, - the homemaker. "The kitchen in all the farmhouses of all the colonies was the most cheerful, homelike, and picturesque room in the house; indeed, it was in town houses as well. The walls were often bare, the rafters dingy; the windows were small, the furniture meager; but the kitchen had a warm, glowing heart that spread light and welcome, and made the poor room a home.... The ears of corn were often piled into the attic until the floor was a foot deep with them. I once entered an ell bedroom in a Massachusetts farmhouse where the walls, rafters, and four-post bedstead were hung solid with ears of yellow corn, which truly "made a sunshine in a shady place." -Alice Morse Earle "Readable and curiously interesting....Mrs. Earle has remarkable zest and skill." -New Outlook "Useful and attractive....A fascinating volume." -The Dial "No other single volume constructs with such completeness, fairness and suggestiveness the atmosphere of colonial homes." -The Herald, Boston "Unique....valuable as well as entertaining." -Mail and Express "Mrs. Earle has already gained distinction as a fascinating chronicler of early American life and manners, and few writers carry the imagination back to the family traditions of olden times with the force and graphic power which she exercises over the minds of her readers." -The Bookman "An exceedingly interesting account....Especially recommended to those who wish aid in reproducing accurately the life and costumes of Colonial times." -University of North Carolina Extension Bulletin "Splendid material....Children will be interested in listing some of our modern furnishings that Pilgrims did not have." -Normal Instructor and Primary Plans
