William James, MD

Philosopher, Psychologist, Physician

By: Emma K. Sutton

The first book to map William James’s preoccupation with medical ideas, concerns, and values across the breadth of his work. William James is known as a nineteenth-century philosopher, psychologist, and psychical researcher. Less well-known is how his interest in medicine influenced his life and work, driving his ambition to change the way American society conceived of itself in body, mind, and soul. William James, MD offers an account of the development and cultural significance of James’s ideas and works, and establishes, for the first time, the relevance of medical themes to his major lines of thought. James lived at a time when old assumptions about faith and the moral and religious possibilities for human worth and redemption were increasingly displaced by a concern with the medically “normal” and the perfectibility of the body. Woven into treatises that warned against humanity’s decline, these ideas were part of the eugenics movement and reflected a growing social stigma attached to illness and invalidism, a disturbing intellectual current in which James felt personally implicated. Most chronicles of James’s life have portrayed a distressed young man, who then endured a psychological or spiritual crisis to emerge as a mature thinker who threw off his pallor of mental sickness for good. In contrast, Emma K. Sutton draws on his personal correspondence, unpublished notebooks, and diaries to show that James considered himself a genuine invalid to the end of his days. Sutton makes the compelling case that his philosophizing was not an abstract occupation but an impassioned response to his own life experiences and challenges. To ignore the medical James is to misread James altogether.

The War on Poverty in Mississippi

From Massive Resistance to New Conservatism

By: Emma J. Folwell

The War on Poverty in Mississippi

From Massive Resistance to New Conservatism

By: Emma J. Folwell

President Lyndon B. Johnson’s war on poverty instigated a ferocious backlash in Mississippi. Federally funded programs—the embodiment of 1960s liberalism—directly clashed with Mississippi’s closed society. From 1965 to 1973, opposing forces transformed the state. In this state-level history of the war on poverty, Emma J. Folwell traces the attempts of white and black Mississippians to address the state’s dire economic circumstances through antipoverty programs. At times, the war on poverty became a powerful tool for black empowerment. But more often, antipoverty programs served as a potent catalyst of white resistance to black advancement. After the momentous events of 1964, both black activism and white opposition to black empowerment evolved due to these federal efforts. White Mississippians deployed massive resistance in part to stifle any black economic empowerment, twisting antipoverty programs into tools to marginalize black political power. Folwell uncovers how the grassroots war against the war on poverty laid the foundation for the fight against 1960s liberalism, as Mississippi became a national model for stonewalling social change. As Folwell indicates, many white Mississippians hardwired elements of massive resistance into the political, economic, and social structure. Meanwhile, they abandoned the Democratic Party and honed the state’s Republican Party, spurred by a new conservatism.

CULTURE OF NAMES IN AFRICA

CULTURE OF NAMES IN AFRICA

A Search for Cultural Identity

By: Emma Umana Clasberry

INTRODUCTION Personal name is a vital aspect of cultural identity. As a child, you may have loved or hated your name. But you were rarely indifferent to it. “What’s in a name?” Shakespeare asked. “That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet”, he explained. Perhaps in England or somewhere else in Europe, but not in Africa. Personal names in African have meanings, can affect personality, hinder or enhance life initiatives. They serve to establish a connection between name and cultural background, and thus, provide some information about cultural affinity and more, such as express one’s spirituality, philosophy of life, political or socio-economic status as defined by a given ethnic cleavage. African names tell stories, convert abstract ideas to stories, and tell story of the story about different aspects of one’s life. They commemorate any unusual circumstance the family or community once experienced, or world event that took place around the time of a child’s birth. Outside a given cultural environment, names boost and nurture cultural pride and identity, showcase a people’s appreciation of their culture and their readiness to defend and live their culture with pride and dignity. Naming practices that tell histories behind the names were the norms in Nigeria-Ibibio, and in fact, in Africa, until the encroachment of two historical forces in Africans’ affairs. Christianization and colonization, more than any other forces in history, shattered the connection between personal name and cultural affinity, and have ever-since contributed to the gradual erosion of African culture of names. On the continent, the combined efforts of their human agents - the missionaries and British colonial personnel, directly and indirectly, through their policies and practices, caused African- Nigerians to give up their culture relevant names in favor of foreign ones. Apart from direct erosion of culture of names, ‘colonial administration’ (a term I use mostly to refer to the combined efforts of the missionaries and British colonial personnel) in Nigeria abrogated many religious, socio-economic and political traditions which were intimately intertwined with the people’s naming practices. Their attempt to replace African traditions with European ones through coercing Africans to accept Western values and beliefs consequently disabled many desirable African traditional structures, including authentic African naming practices, and caused some to fall into disuse. A third force was early European-African trade. Although the impact of the presence of European merchants in Nigeria was minimal in this regard, some of their activities have also left a dent on African naming practices by introducing foreign bodies into the people’s names database. Even though these alien forces invaded and injected foreign values into Africa over a century ago, their impact on naming practices continues to be felt by Africans. European intrusion in relation to African naming practices did not end on the continent. The Trans- Atlantic Trade on human cargo was another major historical event that did not only forcefully disconnect many Africans from their cultural root and natural habitat, but also mutilated authentic African naming practices among them. Consequently, Africans in Diaspora had European names imposed upon them by their slave masters. Today, many Africans on the continent and in Diaspora continue to carry names which are foreign, names whose meanings they do not know, names the bearers can not even pronounce correctly in some ethnic contexts, and names which have no relevance to nor any form of link with the bearers’ cultural background. In effect, culture of names, as many other African customary practices, has lost its savor. Some peoples of African descent still cherish these colonized names. Some do not, and are making practical efforts to reclaim authentic African cul

As Green as Grass

Growing Up Before, During & After the Second World War

By: Emma Smith

______________ 'A delight' - Spectator 'An entrancing memoir' - Jane Shilling, New Statesman 'A wonderful journey beautifully told, and like all great memoirs, remains with the reader like the echo of friendship' - Independent on Sunday ______________ The new memoir from the author of Maidens' Trip and The Great Western Beach; a remarkable story of a young woman growing up against the backdrop of the Second World War, and postwar life in India, Paris and bohemian Chelsea Uprooted from her beloved Great Western Beach, Emma Smith moves with her family from Newquay to the Devonshire village of Crapstone. But the dust has hardly settled when tragedy strikes, and Emma's father, a DSO-decorated hero of the Great War, is so frustrated by the hardship of life as a lowly bank clerk and by his thwarted artistic ambitions that he suffers a catastrophic breakdown - from which disaster Emma's resourceful mother rallies courageously. Then, in 1939, the war again becomes a reality. Emma's sister Pam at once enlists with the WAAF and Jim, her politically minded brother, after initially declaring himself a pacifist, joins the RAF. But what should Emma, aged only sixteen, do? Secretarial collage equips her for a job with MI5 but it's dull work and Emma yearns for fresh air. She is rescued by a scheme taking on girls as crew for canal boats. Freedom! The war over, Emma travels to India with a documentary film company, lives in Chelsea, falls in love in France and spends time in Paris where she sets about mending a broken heart by writing her first novel. Sitting beside the Seine during a heatwave with her typewriter on her knees, she is unwittingly snapped by legendary photographer Robert Doisneau. The zest, thirst for life and buoyant spirits of Emma, as she recalls in evocative detail the quality of England in the thirties and forties give As Green as Grass the feel of a ready-made classic. ______________ 'Evocative and arresting ... hugely engaging' - Daily Express 'One envies Emma Smith's precise and sly humour in her portrait of life' - Michael Ondaatjie 'Optimistic, generous and thoroughly enjoyable' - Giulia Rhodes, Sunday Express 'I've rarely come across a more gripping childhood memoir' - Diana Athill 'A cracking memoir' - Bel Mooney, Daily Mail ______________

Female Innovators Who Changed Our World

How Women Shaped STEM

By: Emma Green

We are not all born with equal opportunities. Yet there have been countless of women who have overcome a range of barriers such as prejudice, illness, and personal tragedy to advance our understanding of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). They used their knowledge to change the world, and their stories are fascinating. This book offers a concise introduction of the lives of 46 women, taking you into the cultural and social context of the world they lived in. Through their intelligence, courage, and resilience, they used STEM to defy expectations and inspire generations to follow in their footsteps. Some of them invented items we use day-to-day and discovered causes and treatments for epidemics that ostracised whole sections of society, whilst others campaigned for the reproductive rights of women and harnessed mathematics to send people into space and break ciphers. These women are proof that females can and did have a hugely significant role in shaping the world we live in today.

An Enduring Faith - Mennonite Stories Their History Their Persecution

By: Emma Salmon-Plett

Vernice Shostal writes about An Enduring Faith: Born and raised in Paraguay, Emma Salmon-Plett is the author of An Enduring Faith, a chronicle of the trials of the Mennonites while they moved from country to country seeking a place where they could practise their faith in freedom. She has personally endured and persevered to overcome language, health and financial difficulties. Emma likes to spend time with her two children and one grand-daughter, as well as gardening. "I have a miniature 'Butchart Garden, ' she says. "I keep my memory sharp by being involved in church, planting, and teaching Bible at our Bible study meetings." Every life is a journey. Emma Salmon's journey of faith has given her the strength to overcome financial hurdles, a language barrier and cancer surgery that left her partially incapacitated, to achieve a doctoral degree, marry, raise a family and live a full life. -Senior Living: Vancouver Island's 50+ Lifestyle Magazine Every life is a story inside a much larger story. Every life gathers and refracts a hundred other stories, a thousand, each worthy of a book all by itself. The joy of Emmi Salmon's book is how seamlessly she knits together her own story with the thousand others. This is at once a compelling history of the Mennonites, a gripping narrative of several Mennonite communities and families, a loving tribute to one family, and a personal memoir of one woman's life and times. It has all the makings of a great novel: suffering and endurance, betrayal and loyalty, love and faith, and a plot that sweeps the globe. That the events narrated here actually happened make it all the more poignant and inspiring. -Mark Buchanan, Pastor and author of Your God is too Safe and many others. A deeply personal account of the trials and tribulations suffered over the centuries by a Mennonite family in their determination to remain true to the faith of their fathers. The author's sense of identity with the entire historical Mennonite community combines with her own, individual reactions to events that both affect her personally and that determined her family's destiny, to bring the entire story to life, in a way that resonates with her sense of humour and outrage, and the steadfastness of her faith. -Gray Sutherland, author of A Twitter of Sparrows, NATO translator & Editor of Enduring Faith
