Benjamin Franklin Pinkerton, and stepmother, Kate, on their farm in Illinois, the family conceals Benji’s true identity as a child born from a liaison between an officer and a geisha—and instead tells everyone that he is an orphan.

By combining research and analysis from the fields of American history and intercultural communication, Unlocking the Master Narrative: History and Intercultural Communication helps students examine why we communicate the way in which we do, taking into account history, culture, worldviews, and the myriad ways in which we share information. The book examines numerous co-cultures within the United States--including those of indigenous peoples, African Americans, Caucasians, Mexican Americans, and Chinese Americans--with special emphasis on the historic perspective of each group''s experiences and struggles. The examination deepens as students learn how the role of communication within these groups evolved as a result of those experiences and struggles, and how communication styles and patterns continue to influence and shape these cultural groups today. Unique in approach and cross-disciplinary in nature, Unlocking the Master Narrative provides students with a revolutionary lens that helps them understand each other more deeply and distinctively. The book is well-suited for courses in American history, intercultural communication, ethnic and cultural studies, sociology, and anthropology. Scott M. Finnie, Ph.D., is director of the Africana Studies Program at Eastern Washington University in Cheney, Washington, and has published numerous articles in the arena of civil rights and African American history.

Perched amid the leaves of the Osage orange tree in her stepfather’s backyard, Beryl Fonteyn observes the life around her—Mama’s desperate attempts to gain Jack’s approval by writing her novel, which he mercilessly critiques; her brother Stevie’s unhealthy fascination with acting out events from the Bible; and Jack’s obsession with his bees—all the while imagining that her runaway father will one day return. But as Beryl’s adolescent turmoil collides with the confines of Jack’s eccentric home, a shattering secret will divide their loyalties—and in one irrevocable moment the home that Beryl’s family has found, their shelter in the storm, will be torn apart forever. . . .

Pre-school childcare in England, 1939-2010 is an innovative study of the relationship between child development theories, childcare practices and children''s experiences. Looking at childcare outside the home in four different forms: day nurseries, nursery schools and classes, playgroups, andchildminders, the book navigates how both individual families and wider society managed the care of young children in the context of dramatic increases in the employment of mothers. The book demonstrates that three principal arguments shaped the experience of all those involved. The first was thatcare for the under-fives was the responsibility of individual families, not the state. The second was that young children were best off at home with their mothers. Thirdly, it was desired that any care that was offered to the under-fives should be cost effective. Pre-school childcare explores howthese beliefs influenced statutory and voluntary provision.The book''s importance of this monograph also lies in its innovative approach. Through its use of a new body of oral history interviews with childcare workers and users, the book charts how the debates surrounding child development influenced the provision and practice of care and the consequences onthose involved. Childcare remains an issue fraught with controversies and in the public eye. Through its consideration of the relationship between current perspectives and past attitudes, Pre-school childcare will be valuable reading for students, researchers and practitioners working in earlyyears'' services and related disciplines, and for those interested in twentieth century British social history.

Bottles of homemade plum wine link two worlds, two eras, and two lives through the eyes of Barbara Jefferson, a young American teaching at a Tokyo university. When her surrogate mother, Michi, dies, Barbara inherits an extraordinary gift: a tansu chest filled with bottles of homemade plum wine wrapped in sheets of rice paper covered in elegant calligraphy—one bottle for each of the last twenty years of Michi’s life. Why did Michi leave her memoirs to Barbara, who cannot read Japanese? Seeking a translator, Barbara turns to an enigmatic pottery artist named Seiji, who will offer her a companionship as tender as it is forbidden. But as the two lovers unravel the mysteries of Michi’s life, a story that draws them through the aftermath of World War II and the hidden world of the hibakusha, Hiroshima survivors, Barbara begins to suspect that Seiji may be hiding the truth about Michi’s past—and a heartbreaking secret of his own.

Winner of the Women''s History Network Book Prize, 2013 This book examines women''s experiences of motherhood in England in the years between 1945 and 2000. Based on a new body of 160 oral history interviews, the book offers the first comprehensive historical study of the experience of motherhood in the second half of the twentieth century. Motherhood is an area where a number of discourses and practices meet. The book therefore forms a thematic study looking at aspects of mothers'' lives such as education, health care, psychology, labour market trends and state intervention. Looking through the prism of motherhood provides a way of understanding the complex social changes that have taken place in the post-war world. This book will be essential reading for students and researchers in the field of twentieth-century British social history. However it will also be of interest to scholars in related fields and a general readership with an interest in British social history, and the history of family and community in modern Britain.
