Witnessing Lynching
Their words provide today's reader with a chance to witness lynching and better understand the current state of race relations in America."--BOOK JACKET.
Raising Citizens in the 'Century of the Child'
The 20th century, declared at its start to be the “Century of the Child” by Swedish author Ellen Key, saw an unprecedented expansion of state activity in and expert knowledge on child-rearing on both sides of the Atlantic. Children were seen as a crucial national resource whose care could not be left to families alone. However, the exact scope and degree of state intervention and expert influence as well as the rights and roles of mothers and fathers remained subjects of heated debates throughout the century. While there is a growing scholarly interest in the history of childhood, research in the field remains focused on national narratives. This volume compares the impact of state intervention and expert influence on theories and practices of raising children in the U.S. and German Central Europe. In particular, the contributors focus on institutions such as kindergartens and schools where the private and the public spheres intersected, on notions of “race” and “ethnicity,” “normality” and “deviance,” and on the impact of wars and changes in political regimes.
The Crisis
The Crisis, founded by W.E.B. Du Bois as the official publication of the NAACP, is a journal of civil rights, history, politics, and culture and seeks to educate and challenge its readers about issues that continue to plague African Americans and other communities of color. For nearly 100 years, The Crisis has been the magazine of opinion and thought leaders, decision makers, peacemakers and justice seekers. It has chronicled, informed, educated, entertained and, in many instances, set the economic, political and social agenda for our nation and its multi-ethnic citizens.

The serial killer/kidnapper is named Henry Smith and his biological parents are Manson and Former Family Member, Susan Atkins.

The book also deals with the Stockholm syndrome. The Suspect also has a job that one would not suspect of doing any wrong doing. Like Ariel Castro being a bus driver; the suspect is a Fresno Police Department Dispatcher. The kidnappings occur in the counties of Merced, Madera, Fresno, and Stanislaus.
The Correspondence, 1890-1892
Originally published between 1961 and 1984, the critically acclaimed Collected Writings of Walt Whitman captures every facet of one of America's most important poets. In discussing letter-writing, Whitman made his own views clear. Simplicity and naturalness were his guidelines. 'I like my letters to be personal--very personal--and then stop.' The six volumes in The Correspondence comprise nearly 3,000 letters written over a half century, revealing Whitman the person as no other documents can.
