The Last Summer of the Men Shortage

By: Geraldine Halls

Men are hard to come by in the summer of 1945, and those that Dinah does find are stolen by Claudia with appalling regularity. Dinah and Claudia are young Adelaide women, teaming up to enjoy their independence in exotic Sydney during days drenched in sunshine and sentimental songs. Claudia is in love with Andrew who has a wife, a 'way of life', and a taste for cruelty. The victim of his sadistic irony is Dinah, who cannot understand why he is so anxious to find her a man. The reason, it transpires, is a practical one.

The Hidden Story

By: Geraldine E. Rodgers

Two different and opposite kinds of readers are developed at the very beginning stages of reading instruction as the result of different and opposite kinds of teaching. One kind of reader is taught to read by the 'sound' of print, and reads automatically and with great accuracy. The other kind of reader is taught to read by the 'meaning' of print, as Chinese characters are read, and not only reads inaccurately, but is actually encouraged to do so by so-called 'psycholinguistic guessing.' The Hidden Story explains why the teaching of 'psycholinguistic guessing' to beginning readers, although it manifestly results in a life-long disability, has been the 'experts'' instructional preference ever since 1870, although the term itself is a relatively recent invention.

Beyond Representation

Television Drama and the Politics and Aesthetics of Identity

By: Geraldine Harris

Beyond representation poses the question as to whether over the last thirty years there have been signs of ‘progress’ or ’progressiveness’ in the representation of ‘marginalised’ or subaltern identity categories within television drama in Britain and the US. In doing so it interrogates some of the key assumptions concerning the relationship between aesthetics and the politics of identity that have influenced and informed television drama criticism during this period. This book can function as a textbook because it provides students with a clear and coherent pathway through complex, wide-reaching and highly influential interdisciplinary terrain. Yet its rigorous and incisive re-evaluation of some of the key concepts that dominated academic thought in the twentieth century also make it of interest to scholars and specialists. Chapters examine ideas around politics and aesthetics emerging from Marxist-socialism and postmodernism, feminism and postmodern feminism, anti-racism and postcolonialism, queer theory and theories of globalisation, so as to evaluates their impact on television criticism and on television as an institution. These discussions are consolidated through case studies that offer analyses of a range of television drama texts including Big Women, Ally McBeal, Supply and Demand, The Bill, Second Generation, Star Trek (Enterprise), Queer as Folk, Metrosexuality and The Murder of Stephen Lawrence. This book is aimed at students and scholars of Television Drama, Media and Communication, Cultural Studies, Women’s Studies and those concerned with questions of politics and aesthetics in other disciplines.

Those Good Gertrudes

A Social History of Women Teachers in America

By: Geraldine J. Clifford

This book explores the professional, civic, and personal roles of women teachers throughout American history. Its themes and findings build from the mostly unpublished writings of many women. Clifford studied personal history manuscripts in archives and consulted printed autobiographies, diaries, correspondence, oral histories, interviews to probe the multifaceted imagery that has surrounded teaching. This work surveys a long past where schoolteaching was essentially men's work, with women relegated to restricted niches such as teaching rudiments of the vernacular language to young children and socializing girls for traditional gender roles.

The “I” Illegal

By: Geraldine F. Johnson

The protagonist, Ana Juárez, reflects on her life as a student in elementary, high school, and college. Her life “has been unjust, embittered, full of ignorance and disappointment, but not without hope” Ana was eager to attend kindergarten, and by fourth grade she is an achiever with a competitive attitude. She is ready for academic combat in the middle grades, but is compromised by the teachers’ methodology of cooperative learning. Her home is an adequate, but not a rich setting in which she receives love and motivation; however she perceives that her younger brother, Roberto, is the favorite sibling, but she, the older, is the smarter. Valedictorian, Ana, is admitted to the Metropolitan College Preparatory High School. “You’d make a wonderful nurse,” her mother says. “Why not a doctor?” she thinks. Ana is supported by her friends Karla, Mary, Ricardo, Clarence, Julia and Josh, who help “fight her battles.” Unexpected mentors appear as she passionately strives to make decisions regarding college and her future.

Minding the Children

Child Care in America from Colonial Times to the Present

By: Geraldine Youcha

Beyond childcare theories and early childhood gurus, here is how children have actually been raised in America over the last four centuries. From wet nurses and Southern mammys, settlement houses and orphan trains, to rigid British nannies, foster care, and the modern two-worker family, Geraldine Youcha's delightful book paints a wide-ranging picture of American childhood. In this updated paperback edition a lively new chapter brings the story through current childcare wars and present economic realities. All in all, it is a reassuring picture, for despite a bewildering array of different styles and fads, children have survived and often thrived. While there are some harsh lessons to be learned here, there is also plenty to lend optimism and help anxious parents relax.
