Of Wings and Dirt

A Collection of Poems

By: Kimberly Phinney

Of Wings and Dirt is one woman’s story in poetry, which chronicles her journey through mental and physical illness, infertility and miraculous motherhood, and the wonder and faith that sustained her through it all. In Of Wings and Dirt, Kimberly Phinney intimately and unflinchingly reveals the story of her near death experiences and survival with the hopes of comforting her readers and pointing them toward the divine—be it in ordinary moments, the natural world, or the nearness of a loving God. We are all made of wings and dirt, and the lines within are a reminder of this holy truth.

Disrupting Kinship

Transnational Politics of Korean Adoption in the United States

Disrupting Kinship

Transnational Politics of Korean Adoption in the United States

By: Kimberly D. McKee

Since the Korean War began, Western families have adopted more than 200,000 Korean children. Two-thirds of these adoptees found homes in the United States. The majority joined white families and in the process forged a new kind of transnational and transracial kinship. Kimberly D. McKee examines the growth of the neocolonial, multi-million-dollar global industry that shaped these families—a system she identifies as the transnational adoption industrial complex. As she shows, an alliance of the South Korean welfare state, orphanages, adoption agencies, and American immigration laws powered transnational adoption between the two countries. Adoption became a tool to supplement an inadequate social safety net for South Korea's unwed mothers and low-income families. At the same time, it commodified children, building a market that allowed Americans to create families at the expense of loving, biological ties between Koreans. McKee also looks at how Christian Americanism, South Korean welfare policy, and other facets of adoption interact with and disrupt American perceptions of nation, citizenship, belonging, family, and ethnic identity.

The American Art-Union

The American Art-Union

Utopia and Skepticism in the Antebellum Era

By: Kimberly A. Orcutt

The first comprehensive treatment in seventy years of the American Art-Union’s remarkable rise and fall For over a decade, the New York–based American Art-Union shaped art creation, display, and patronage nationwide. Boasting as many as 19,000 members from almost every state, its meteoric rise and its sudden and spectacular collapse still raise a crucial question: Why did such a successful and influential institution fail? The American Art-Union reveals a sprawling and fascinating account of the country’s first nationwide artistic phenomenon, creating a shared experience of visual culture, art news and criticism, and a direct experience with original works. For an annual fee of five dollars, members of the American Art-Union received an engraving after a painting by a notable US artist and the annual publication Transactions (1839–49) and later the monthly Bulletin (1848–53). Most importantly, members’ names were entered in a drawing for hundreds of original paintings and sculptures by most of the era’s best-known artists. Those artworks were displayed in its immensely popular Free Gallery. Unfortunately, the experiment was short-lived. Opposition grew, and a cascade of events led to an 1852 court case that proved to be the Art-Union’s downfall. Illuminating the workings of the American art market, this study fills a gaping lacuna in the history of nineteenth-century US art. Kimberly A. Orcutt draws from the American Art-Union’s records as well as in-depth contextual research to track the organization’s decisive impact that set the direction of the country’s paintings, sculpture, and engravings for well over a decade. Forged in cultural crosscurrents of utopianism and skepticism, the American Art-Union’s demise can be traced to its nature as an attempt to create and control the complex system that the early nineteenth-century art world represented. This study breaks the organization’s activities into their major components to offer a structural rather than chronological narrative that follows mounting tensions to their inevitable end. The institution was undone not by dramatic outward events or the character of its leadership but by the character of its utopianist plan.

Monroe

The Early Years

By: Craig E. Hutchison,Kimberly A. Hutchison

One of the oldest settlements in Michigan, Monroe is a treasure trove of American history. The area had been occupied by various cultures of indigenous people for hundreds of years and later claimed by French explorers before becoming part of the Michigan Territory following the Revolutionary War, explaining the town's previous name of Frenchtown. The Monroe area is national known as the site of the Battles and Massacre of the River Raisin, among the largest engagement of the War of 1812, and it was after the war that the town was renamed in honor of Pres. James Monroe. Perhaps the town is better known as the home of Gen. George Armstrong Custer, the Civil War hero who valiantly led Union troops to victory, only to perish at the Battle of Little Bighorn. This collection uses rare images and historical insights to document and celebrate Monroe's early development, military legacy, architectural splendor, and legendary figures.

Learning and Not Learning in the Heritage Language Classroom

Engaging Mexican-Origin Students

By: Kimberly Adilia Helmer

Learning and Not Learning in the Heritage Language Classroom, a critical ethnography, describes the first year of a teacher-founded charter high school and presents a case-study of compulsory Spanish heritage language instruction with two Spanish-language teachers, one English dominant and the other Spanish dominant. The study follows the same cohort of Mexican-origin students to their humanities-English class, bringing into focus what works and what does not with this group of learners. Unlike many Spanish heritage language studies, the students in this book did not choose to take part in Spanish class and thus provide unusually raw feedback on their teachers and classes. The engagement and resistance of these students suggests pedagogical directions for engaging Spanish heritage language learners. The book will be of interest to scholars, administrators, students and teachers involved in the delivery and assessment of heritage language classes.

Trapped Off

By: Kimberly Thompson

It was a typical fresh crisp Monday morning on February 5, 1998, after doing my routinely five-mile run, as I rushed into Starbucks, for my favorite cappuccino, topped with whip cream is a reward to myself, besides I just ran five miles, working off the calories before they are put on. Approaching the exit of Starbucks, glancing over to my right, from my peripheral view, noticing a black Bugatti emerging the store parking lot, watching his suicide doors opening, getting out is a tall, handsome, smooth chocolate, entrepreneur. Shockingly stuck in my path, eyeballing him as he enters the shop, swiftly walking by me, reeking the scent of My Burberry black cologne, as it dances into my nostril, straight to my sinus cavities, puts me in a trance, snapping back into reality with the ringing of my phone, noticing it was my girl, my A1 since day 1, Meme. Beginning to walk out the door, Excitedly, she screams, GIRLFRIEND! we got an invitation to a Ballers Valentine Day party in New York City, therefore we got some shopping to do! Ok, I agree, but girl its 6 o’clock in the am, it’s too early for you to be making plans for us to get into something. She says that’s why I’m telling you ahead of time, that’s why it’s called pre-plan hunni! Alright, bet we need a vacation anyway.
