Book Description
An interpretive history of working class Mexican American, African American, and American Indian women in the last century underlining the specific and common experiences of the three groups. Anderson (history, U. of Arizona) blends historical analysis, politics, and cultural considerations to show how forced acculturation of American Indian women subordinated their traditional powers, the contradictory pressures Mexican American women experience in their place between cultures, and African American women's migration from plantation to urban centers with the subsequent shifts in their social and political situations.

Book Description
"This text has now been revised again to incorporate the latest developments, for instance the current success of children's and crossover literature, such as that of J. K. Rowling and Philip Pullman. However, the Companion also remains faithful to Sir Paul Harvey's original vision of an authoritative work placing English literature in its widest context. No other volume offers such extensive exploration of the classical roots of English literature and the European authors and works that influenced its development." "The appendices have also been updated: the winners of the major literary awards, and the chronology - spanning a thousand years of English literature from Beowulf to Small Island. Informed by the latest scholarly thinking, and comprehensively cross-referenced to guide the reader to topics of related interest, the revised 6th edition reaffirms the pre-eminence of the Companion as the best available single-volume guide to English literature."--BOOK JACKET.

Not illustrated. 1842 edition. Excerpt: ... equall conquest wonne, And monstrous tyrants with his club subdewed; The club of Iustice dread with kingly powre endewed. 1 Intreat, treat. 2 Sient, scion. 3 Fordmuus, ruined.. III. And such was he of whom I have to tell, The Champion of true Iustice, Artegall: VVhom (as ye lately mote remember well) An hard adventure, which did then befall, Into redoubted perill forth did call; That was, to succour a distressed Dame Whom a strong Tyrant did uniustly thrall, And from the heritage, which she did clame, .Did with strong hand withhold; Grantorto was his name. IV. Wherefore the Lady, which Irena hight,1 Did to the Faerie Queene her way addresse, To whom complayning her afliicted plight, She her besought of gratious redresse: That soveraine queene, that mightie emperesse, Whose glorie is to aide all suppliants pore, And of weake princes to be patronesse, Chose Artegall to right her to restore; For that to her he seem'd best skild in righteous lore. V. For Artegall in iustice was upbrought 1 Hight, was called. III. 2.--fl1'tegall. In Artegal, Spenser is conjectured to have drawn Arthur, Lord Grey of Wilton, who was lord lieutenant of Ireland, and to whom Spenser was secretary. III. 9.--Grantarto. This is compounded of two Italian words, and means great wrong. "Though Grantorto may signify tyranny and injustice in general, he may signify sometimes the king of Spain."--Urron. IV. 1.--Irena. "Irena, or Irene, is an anagram, or tmnsposition of the letters of Icrne, the ancient name of Ireland."--Cuuncn. Even from the cradle of his infancie, And all the depth of rightfull doome was taught By faire Astraea, with great industrie, Whilest here on earth she lived mortallie: For, till the world fiom his perfection fell Into...

Book Description
Some secrets were never meant to be exposed to the light of the world. When the Raven Faery Queen’s brother is cursed and in danger of losing his wings and mind, she calls in specialized mercenaries for the Seelie Faery Court—Benton and Rylan (AKA Soap). They immediately discover this might not be a cut and dry mission. Benton is reminded of a promise he vowed to keep and uncovers an important tie to his family’s past. But the secrets go beyond his family and lead to the real reason Elementals, like Benton, are being hunted and are almost extinct. Soap also discovers a link to his past that threatens his magic and reveals deadly truths about the Land of Faerie and the two divided courts. In the midst of it all, Benton and Rylan are tasked with finding Zena, a human girl with the gift of The Sight, before she is captured by an obsessed bounty hunter who only hunts humans with specific and unusual abilities for nefarious reasons.
