The Great Depression, of Dust Bowl and Grapes of Wrath infamy, was not solely a middle-America tragedy. Families living in the South suffered similar economic and social misfortunes. This the heart-rending tale of an honest, hard-working man supporting a wife and three young children who worked as a sharecropper on the 800-acre tobacco farm of one of the most despised men in Lenoir County, North Carolina, and how the sharecropper’s sixteen year-year-old daughter lived with a terrible secret. Woven into this tragic tale is a plot by persons unknown to murder the landowner and steal his fortune. It’s a real page-turner.

This book argues for a renewed understanding of the fundamentally uncanny quality of the medium of photography. It especially makes the case for the capacity of certain photographs—precisely through their uncanniness—to contest structures of political and social dominance. The uncanny as a quality that unsettles the perception of home emerges as a symptom of modern and contemporary society and also as an aesthetic apparatus by which some key photographs critique the hegemony of capitalist and industrialist domains. The book’s historical scope is large, beginning with William Henry Fox Talbot and closing with contemporary indigenous photographer Bear Allison and contemporary African American photographer Devin Allen. Through close readings, exegesis, of individual photographs and careful deployment of contemporary political and aesthetic theory, The Photographic Uncanny argues for a re-envisioning of the political capacity of photography to expose the haunted, homeless, condition of modernity.

Thank you for sharing your story, Secrets of the Heart, with us. It is a real gem! The emotional interaction between the mother and daughter was beautifully crafted and sensitive. I could visualize the mothers summer romance as your words brought to life the young couples mutual attraction. You captured the poignancy of young love, which is blind to any practical considerations. Knowing that Emily would have to make a similar choice regarding Todd, the mothers advice to Emily is mature and sensitive. I liked the ending. Our granddaughter, Sarah, (going on 12) loved it too.

In facing life's challenges, Georgia realized that her greatest test was her response to them. As she the "Rose" struggled to survive among the thorns- through a series of events; she is reminded by her Creator-- that every trial and adversity are part of His purpose for her life. Her testimony begins as a young girl "" in a large family- lost and depressed (with hearing problems) followed by an unforgettable disappointment that resulted in brokenness and hopelessness. Driven from home by a lost future, she confronted and survived the temptations of a strange city, only to return and face further tests that threatened her uncertain future. Faith driven, Georgia is reconciled with her Creator, who met her in the Deep Woods of Mississippi as a child, and confirmed His love, that "I am still with you." Her committed, devoted journey enabled her to leave a resilient, visionary legacy that we can overcome and believe the impossible. The choice is ours!!

As the nineteenth century ended in Hunt County, Texas, a way of life was dying. The tightly knit, fiercely independent society of the yeomen farmers--"plain folk," as historians have often dubbed them--was being swallowed up by the rising tide of a rapidly changing, cotton-based economy. A social network based on family, religion, and community was falling prey to crippling debt and resulting loss of land ownership. For many of the rural people of Hunt County and similar places, it seemed like the end of the world. In Yeomen, Sharecroppers, and Socialists historian Kyle G. Wilkison analyzes the patterns of plain-folk life and the changes that occurred during the critical four decades spanning the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries. Political protest evolved in the wake of the devastating losses experienced by the poor rural majority, and Wilkison carefully explores the interplay of religion and politics as Greenbackers, Populists, and Socialists vied for the support of the dispossessed tenant farmers and sharecroppers. With its richly drawn contextualization and analysis of the causes and effects of the epochal shifts in plain-folk society, Kyle G. Wilkison's Yeomen, Sharecroppers, and Socialists will reward students and scholars in economic, regional, and agricultural history.

The Sharecropper's Daughter tells the story of Frank Lee, a girl born to a black mother and a white father in 1930s South Carolina. Frank Lee grows up between the precarious backdrop of being black but looking white amid racist and ambiguous times. She is forced to find a balance between a mother who finds it difficult to embrace her and a father she will never know. Abandoned at birth she is shuffled from one place to another, sometimes with relatives but sometimes with strangers who value the weekly stipend they receive for her care more than the girl herself. She is eventually reunited with her mother but the relationship is strained and uncertain. This is an epic tale that spans the time of slavery through the 1950s. The characters are rich and fluent in the language of survival and perseverance. There is love, loss, pain and forgiveness that every reader will identify with.
