Ardis Cameron focuses on the textile workers' strikes of 1882 and 1912 in this examination of class and gender formation as drawn from the experience and language of the working-class neighborhoods of Lawrence. She shows clearly that the working women who unionized and fought for equality were considered the "worst sort" because they challenged both economic and sexual hierarchies, providing alternative models for turn-of-the-century women.
In this lively account of the writing, publication, and legacy of the 1956 bestselling novel, "Peyton Place," Ardis Cameron tells how the story of a patricide in a small New England village became a cultural phenomenon.
How far will a person persist in a lie? Is self-interest the only, over-riding issue in life? How pervasive are lies in our ordinary, daily lives? Achan's Disciple grapples with these questions and more as it follows the lives of two men bent on self-destruction, intent on gratifying their greed, and determined to cover it all with lies. Achan is a character in the Bible who lied about his theft and the reader is faced with the knowledge that one or both of them is his disciple. A pastor who is embezzling from his church and a cafe owner who is gambling away his future are on a collision course to ruin their lives. Will these two men resolve the messes they have created? Will they admit to the truth? Will they find redemption? Or will they lie to the bitter end?

This book analyses the major provisions of H.R. 418, which would, inter alia, (1) modify the eligibility criteria for asylum and withholding of removal; (2) limit judicial review of certain immigration decisions, (3) provide additional waiver authority over laws that might impede the expeditious construction of barriers and roads along the US-Mexican border near San Diego; (4) expand the scope of terror-related activity making an alien inadmissible and deportable (removable), as well as ineligible for certain forms of relief from removal; and (5) require states to meet certain minimum security standards in order for the drivers' licenses and personal identification cards they issue to be accepted for federal purposes (a bill by Representative Tom Davis, containing only the provisions relating to drivers' licenses and personal identification cards, has also been introduced as H.R. 368, the Driver's License Security and Modernisation Act). This book describes relevant current law relating to immigration and document-security matters, how H.R. 418 would alter current law if enacted, and the degree to which the bill duplicates existing law.
