Appropriate: A Provocation
Author: Paisley Rekdal
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 1324003596
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
A timely, nuanced work that dissects the thorny debate around cultural appropriation and the literary imagination. How do we properly define cultural appropriation, and is it always wrong? If we can write in the voice of another, should we? And if so, what questions do we need to consider first? In Appropriate, creative writing professor Paisley Rekdal addresses a young writer to delineate how the idea of cultural appropriation has evolved—and perhaps calcified—in our political climate. What follows is a penetrating exploration of fluctuating literary power and authorial privilege, about whiteness and what we really mean by the term empathy, that examines writers from William Styron to Peter Ho Davies to Jeanine Cummins. Lucid, reflective, and astute, Appropriate presents a generous new framework for one of the most controversial subjects in contemporary literature.

Twelve Mormon Homes Visited in Succession on a Journey Through Utah to Arizona
Author: Elizabeth Wood Kane
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
Published in the 1870s, this account of Mormon families and their homes offers historical insight into Mormonism and life in the fledgling communities of the era. Presented as a kind of travelogue through the states of Arizona and Utah, this book recounts the appearance and status of various settlements founded or occupied by adherents of the Latter Day Saint movement known as Mormonism. Life in these areas was vastly different in the 19th century; many families prepared their own food, owning livestock and growing crops near their homes. The lands described are vast and picturesque, and the people were often hardy and tough in the face of everyday adversities. Elizabeth Wood Kane intersperses her observations of the locales with the tenets of Mormonism, including the tendency of early Mormons to practice polygamy. Snippets of dialogue between the residents of these lands constitute short vignettes of everyday life, allowing the reader to picture the existence, concerns and daily routines in the villages. Mormon congregations and meetings, whereby residents discuss matters of God as well as local issues, are likewise recounted.

The Mormon People
Author: Matthew Bowman
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 0679644911
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
“From one of the brightest of the new generation of Mormon-studies scholars comes a crisp, engaging account of the religion’s history.”—The Wall Street Journal With Mormonism on the nation’s radar as never before, religious historian Matthew Bowman has written an essential book that pulls back the curtain on more than 180 years of Mormon history and doctrine. He recounts the church’s origins and explains how the Mormon vision has evolved—and with it the esteem in which Mormons have been held in the eyes of their countrymen. Admired on the one hand as hardworking paragons of family values, Mormons have also been derided as oddballs and persecuted as polygamists, heretics, and zealots. The place of Mormonism in public life continues to generate heated debate, yet the faith has never been more popular. One of the fastest-growing religions in the world, it retains an uneasy sense of its relationship with the main line of American culture. Mormons will surely play an even greater role in American civic life in the years ahead. The Mormon People comes as a vital addition to the corpus of American religious history—a frank and balanced demystification of a faith that remains a mystery for many. With a new afterword by the author. “Fascinating and fair-minded . . . a sweeping soup-to-nuts primer on Mormonism.”—The Boston Globe “A cogent, judicious, and important account of a faith that has been an important element in American history but remained surprisingly misunderstood.”—Michael Beschloss “A thorough, stimulating rendering of the Mormon past and present.”—Kirkus Reviews “[A] smart, lucid history.”—Tom Brokaw
