Women of Fair Hope
ISBN: 9781603060417 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) During the depression of the 1890s, a young Iowa newspaperman, indignant over the excesses of the Gilded Age, led a group of midwesterners to the eastern shore of Mobile Bay, where they established a model community based on the utopian ideals of Henry George. In Women of Fair Hope, Paul M. Gaston follows the dreams and achievements of three extraordinary women--an early feminist reformer, an educator, and a freed slave--whose individual desires to create a fairer, more equitable society led them to play important roles in the life of that community.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In this exquisitely wrought memoir of a committed life, historian and civil rights activist Paul Gaston reveals his deep roots in the unique utopian community founded in 1894 by his grandfather on the shores of Mobile Bay, Alabama. Fairhope grew into a unique political, economic, and educational experiment and a center of radical economic and educational ideals. As time passed, however, Fairhope's radical nature went into decline. By the early 1950s the author began to look outward for ways to take part in the coming struggle--the civil rights movement. Gaston's career at the University of...

Gaston and the Origins of the Fairhope Single Tax Colony, historian Paul Gaston relates his grandfather's 1864 founding of the utopian community of Fairhope, Alabama.

Using family and public records, Man and Mission gives an intimate view of a vibrant moment in the history of Gilded Age America.

Higher Education Accreditation: How It's Changing, Why It Must
ISBN: 9781579227623 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Is the accreditation system -broken- as claimed by successive Secretaries of Education and some recent reports?
This book addresses this question head-on, asking whether accreditation is indeed in need of radical reform, and whether the agencies' authority should be curtailed; or whether in fact the changes now underway - that accrediting agencies contend ensure rigorous and consistent standards and degrees that are a reliable gauge of student attainment - are moving the academy and the nation in the right direction. In a sweeping and ambitious book, Paul Gaston... Is the accreditation system -broken- as claimed by successive Secretaries of Education and some recent reports?

The New South Creed: A Study in Southern Mythmaking
ISBN: 9781603061438 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) First published in 1970, The New South Creed has lost none of its usefulness to anyone examining the dream of a "New South" -- prosperous, powerful, racially harmonious -- that developed in the three decades after the Civil War, and the transformation of that dream into widely accepted myths, shielding and perpetuating a conservative, racist society. Many young moderates of the period created a philosophy designed to enrich the region -- attempting to both restore the power and prestige and to lay the race question to rest. In spite of these men and their efforts, their dream of a New South...

The Moderates' Dilemma: Massive Resistance to School Desegregation in Virginia

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In 1958, facing court-ordered integration, Virginia governor J. Lindsay Almond Jr. closed public schools in three cities, one of the first instances of the "massive resistance" embraced by conservative southern politicians in the wake of Brown v. Board of Education. This action provoked not only the NAACP but also large numbers of white middle-class Virginians who quickly organized to protest the school closings. Confronted with the dilemma of accepting desegregation or the ruination of public education, these white moderates finally coalesced into a formidable political coalition that...
