Elspeth Huxley

Elspeth Huxley
This biography of British writer and conservationist Huxley (1907-1997), author of several novels (The Flame Trees of Thika), memoirs and travel pieces, is well researched. Leaving Huxley in England, her parents moved to Kenya in 1912, where, as members of Britain's white settler community, they struggled to run a coffee plantation. Huxley was sent for the next year, and she spent her childhood and adolescence hunting, playing polo, going on safaris and participating in other such colonial activities. Huxley left Africa in 1925 to attend college in England and the U.S., but returned periodically to visit her parents and do research. Nicholls plumbs Huxley's personal and published papers for detail, creating skillful illustrations of character and setting. Describing an elderly Huxley, she writes: 'Without vanity, she wore clothes of muted colours, often tweeds, and liked brown jerseys. She usually wore trousers rather then dresses and her hair, for which she cared little, was cut short in a pudding-basin shape.' She glosses over thorny issues of race and colonialism, concluding that while Huxley has been criticized for her lack of social awareness, she should be congratulated for her honesty and ability to change her views with the times.- Creator

Framing the West
- Creator
- Williams, Carol J.
Framing the West
Framing the West argues that photography was intrinsic to British territorial expansion and settlement on the northwest coast. Williams shows how male and female settlers used photography to establish control over the territory and its indigenous inhabitants, as well as how native peoples eventually turned the technology to their own purposes. Photographs of the region were used to stimulate British immigration and entrepreneuralism, and imagies of babies and children were designed to advertise the population growth of the settlers. Although Indians were taken by Anglos to document their 'disappearing' traditions and to show the success of missionary activities, many Indians proved receptive to photography and turned posing for the white man's camera to their own advantage. This book will appeal to those interested in the history of the West, imperialism, gender, photography, and First Nations/Native America.- Creator

Hispanas de Queens
The authors examine the effects of residing in the same neighborhood of persons of several Latin American national groups. Ricourt and Danta consider the stories of women of different nationalities - Colombian, Cuban, Dominican, Ecuadoran, Peruvian, Puerto Rican, Uruguayan, and others - who live together in Corona, a working-class neighborhood in Queens. The authors find that the new pan-Latin American community in Corona has emerged from the interactions of everyday living. The book focuses on the places where women gather in Corona - bodegas, hospitals, school yards, and Roman Catholic and Protestant churches - to show how informal alliances arise from proximity.- Creator

Prostitution, race and politics

Prostitution, race and politics
Described is how the British Colonial administrators established wide-ranging legislation aimed at slowing the spread of venereal disease and the loss of soldier-power it brought about. This legislation, the Contagious Diseases (CD) ordinances, identified female prostitutes as the principal source of infection and required them to register officially and undergo regular examinations designed to detect venereal disease. While most agree that the CD ordinances were put in place primarily to protect the health of British soldiers, a closer examination reveals that the laws were not just about the control of VD but also 'a conscious instrument of colonial dominance'.- Creator

Embracing the east
Investigated is the role of white women in the construction of Orientalism. Yoshihara examined a wide range of white women who were attracted to Japan and China in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century and shows how these women found new forms of expression, power, and freedom that were often denied to them in other realms of their lives in America.- Creator

Women and the historical enterprise in America
Des Jardins explores the work of a wide variety of women historians, both professional and amateur, white and nonwhite. These historians addressed new questions and represented social groups traditionally omitted from the historical record, such as workers, African Americans, Native Americans, and religious minorities. Assessing the historical contributions of Mary Ritter Beard, Zora Neale Hurston, Angie Debo, Mari Sandoz, Lucy Salmon, Mary McLeod Bethune, Dorothy Porter, Nellie Neilson and many others, Des Jardins argues that women working within the confines of the historical enterprise collectively brought the new perspectives of social and cultural history to the study of a multifaceted American past.- Creator

Teaching gender and multicultural awareness
The contributors to this volume provide information about how to integrate topics of diversity into a variety of psychology courses and programs of study. Because psychology contains a body of knowledge that reaches across gender, social, and cultural lines, a single class about gender of cross-cultural studies is no longer sufficient to teach students about multiculturalism. The edition directs to useful printed, video, and internet resources.- Creator

The contributors to this volume investigate both the benign and harmful aspects of identity politics. The collection delves into some issues of cultural pluralism, such as what accounts for the power of identity politics, whether identity politics can be inherently good or evil, whether states are the right institutions to deal with ethnic conflict, the prevention of genocide, the value of devolving power to the local level, and more.- Creator
