Book Description
Ruth Woods: A Plump Little Matron with Wrinkles is Dustin Lowe's attempt to bring his great grandmother's untold story to life. Ruth Woods began the Richwood Civic Center located in Richwood, Ohio as a way to house the town's rapidly growing aging population. The Center hosted the first tetanus clinic in Ohio and has since expanded to include transportation services, entertainment, and outing events for the community. Told through the stories and memories of her daughter, Anita Davis, the biography focuses on Ruth's cheerful and hospitable life and her concern for the senior citizens in her community. At a time when very few communities began to think about services for retirees, Ruth's dream became a reality when she took up the responsibility of creating housing for the area's seniors.

Development Arrested
Author: Clyde Woods
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1844675610
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
A new edition of a classic history of the Mississippi River Delta Development Arrested is a major reinterpretation of the 200-year-old conflict between African American workers and the planters of the Mississippi Delta. The book measures the impact of the plantation system on those who suffered its depredations firsthand, while tracing the decline and resurrection of plantation ideology in national public policy debate. Despite countless defeats under the planter regime, African Americans in the Delta continued to push forward their agenda for social and economic justice. Throughout this remarkably interdisciplinary book, ranging across fields as diverse as rural studies, musicology, development studies, and anthropology, Woods demonstrates the role of music—including jazz, rock and roll, soul, rap and, above all, the blues—in sustaining a radical vision of social change.
