Book Description
Between 1973 and 1978, six thousand Chileans leftists took refuge in central Canada after the Pinochet coup d’état. Once resettled at the northern extreme of the Americas, these political exiles had to find ways of coping with an abrupt and violent separation from their homeland that had deep material and emotional repercussions. In Young, Well-Educated, and Adaptable, Francis Peddie documents the experiences of twenty-one Chileans as they navigate their newfound identity as exiles. Peddie also considers how the admission of people from the wrong side of the Cold War ideological divide had an effect on Canadian immigration and refugee policy, establishing a precedent for the admission of political exiles over the decades that followed.

Book Description
Follow the story of Carlotta Walls LaNier, who in 1957 at the age of fourteen was one of nine black students who integrated the all-white Little Rock Central High School and became known as the Little Rock Nine. At fourteen years old, Carlotta Walls was the youngest member of the Little Rock Nine. The journey to integration in a place deeply against it would not be not easy. Yet Carlotta, her family, and the other eight students and their families answered the call to be part of the desegregation order issued by the US Supreme Court in its 1954 Brown v. Board of Education case. As angry mobs protested, the students were escorted into Little Rock Central High School by escorts from the 101st Airborne Division, which had been called in by then-president Dwight D. Eisenhower to ensure their safety. The effort needed to get through that first year in high school was monumental, but Carlotta held strong. Ultimately, she became the first Black female ever to walk across the Central High stage and receive a diploma. The Little Rock Nine experienced traumatic and life-changing events not only as a group but also as individuals, each with a distinct personality and a different story. This is Carlotta's courageous story.

Book Description
This dissertation describes the challenges and changes to lifestyle and identity experienced by twenty-one Chileans who came to Canada as exiles between 1973 and 1978. It is based largely on the testimony of the exiles themselves, augmented by research conducted at archives in Canada, Chile and the 'united States as well as primary and secondary sources that focus on modem Chilean history, Canadian immigration history, and the subject of exile. The experiences of the people I interviewed are contextualized by relating them to the events that pushed them out of Chile following the coup d'état of 11 September 1973, and the process by which they gained entry into Canada despite being from the wrong side of the Cold War ideological divide. Once resettled in Canada, the interviewees became part of a community whose primary raison d'être was to denounce the military government that ruled their homeland and denied them their place in the Chilean nation. The development of a culture of exile gave Chileans in Canada both a sense of continued belonging to their vision of the national community and also an outlet to express their condemnation of the regime that had made them outcasts. At the same time, I argue that the Chilean exiles of the 1970s eventually experienced transformations in their sense of personal and collective identity as the years passed and they became connected to their Canadian surroundings through work, family life and a new sense of belonging. The integration of many Chilean exiles into Canadian society, in turn, illustrates how immigration and refugee policy at the time favored the admission of young, well-educated and adaptable people who could become successful immigrants and bring benefits to the country, regardless of their ideological beliefs.

Book Description
Follows Jefferson from his inauguration as President in 1801 to his death at the age of 83 on July 4, 1826. It embraces the eight years as Chief Executive in which he doubled the size of the United States by his daring Louisiana Purchase, sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark on one of the world's greatest expeditions of exploration, and challenged the formidable Chief Justice John Marshall with a major program of judicial reform. It proves the falseness of the stereotype that Jefferson ignored national defense and tried to keep the Navy weak. The book shows him late in life, with ideas that have relevance today, planning a system of public education and founding the University of Virginia, and it reveals, better than any other biography to date, the intimate details of the lonely private battle he fought during his last tortured, but ultimately triumphant, decade.
