The Junius B. Bird Conference on Andean Textiles, April 7th and 8th, 1984 [Jan 01, 1986] ROWE (Ann Pollard) et al editors

Junius Wilson (1908-2001) spent seventy-six years at a state mental hospital in Goldsboro, North Carolina, including six in the criminal ward. He had never been declared insane by a medical professional or found guilty of any criminal charge. But he was deaf and black in the Jim Crow South. Unspeakable is the story of his life.Using legal records, institutional files, and extensive oral history interviews--some conducted in sign language--Susan Burch and Hannah Joyner piece together the story of a deaf man accused in 1925 of attempted rape, found insane at a lunacy hearing, committed to the criminal ward of the State Hospital for the Colored Insane, castrated, forced to labor for the institution, and held at the hospital for more than seven decades. Junius Wilson's life was shaped by some of the major developments of twentieth-century America: Jim Crow segregation, the civil rights movement, deinstitutionalization, the rise of professional social work, and the emergence of the deaf and disability rights movements. In addition to offering a bottom-up history of life in a segregated mental institution, Burch and Joyner's work also enriches the traditional interpretation of Jim Crow by highlighting the complicated intersections of race and disability as well as of community and language. This moving study expands the boundaries of what biography can and should be. There is much to learn and remember about Junius Wilson--and the countless others who have lived unspeakable histories.

A scholarly edition of the letters of Junius. The edition presents an authoritative text, together with an introduction, commentary notes, and scholarly apparatus.

Carved for a Roman city prefect who was a newly baptized Christian at his death, the sarcophagus of Junius Bassus is not only a magnificent example of "the fine style" of mid-fourth-century sculpture but also a treasury of early Christian iconography clearly indicating the Christianization of Rome--and the Romanization of Christianity. Whereas most previous scholarship has focused on the style of the sarcophagus, Elizabeth Struthers Malbon explores the perplexing elements of its iconography in their fourth-century context. In so doing she reveals the distinction between "pagan" and Christian images to be less rigid than sometimes thought.Against the background of earlier and contemporary art and religious literature, Malbon explicates the relationship of the facade's two levels of scenes depicting stories from the Old and New Testaments, the connection between the scenes on the facade with those on the lid and ends of the sarcophagus, and the integration of pagan elements within a Christian work. What emerges is a carefully constructed iconographic program shedding light on the development of early Christian art within late antique culture.Originally published in 1990.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.

Discover the incredible true story of how one of history's most successful potato farmers began life as a slave and worked until he was named the "Potato King of the World"!Junius G. Groves came from humble beginnings in the Bluegrass State. Born in Kentucky into slavery, freedom came when he was still a young man and he intended to make a name for himself. Along with thousands of other African Americans who migrated from the South, Junius walked west and stopped in Kansas. Working for a pittance on a small potato farm was no reason to feel sorry for himself, especially when he's made foreman. But Junius did dream of owning his own farm, so he did the next best thing. He rented the land and worked hard! As he built his empire, he also built a family, and he built them both on tons and tons and tons of potatoes. He never quit working hard, even as the naysayers doubted him, and soon he was declared Potato King of the World and had five hundred acres and a castle to call his own.From award winning author Tonya Bolden and talented illustrator Don Tate comes a tale of perseverance that reminds us no matter where you begin, as long as you work hard, your creation can never be called small potatoes.

Luz had nightheat, the sensuous quality in a woman that makes men ache with desire. Nick loved and lusted for her the first time he saw her. But what he didn't know was that Luz had secrets---that beneath the glamour and sex appeal was a woman determined to turn her back on wealth and challenge a corrupt political system. Even if dong so meant her life. Nick started out dirt poor---as a child, he survived the war-torn frozen hell of the siege of Leningrad and saw his mother starve to death as fat-cat bureaucrats ate well. He learned early that there were the haves and have-nots in this world. He was going to get everything rich people had---and more. From a brutal Soviet orphanage to a plantation in the steamy jungles of the Caribbean, from sultry, violent Havana to the dangerous streets of Santo Domingo, Nick battled men who controlled and exploited the wealth of nations. With bootleg vodka and exotic rum, he built a business empire that would one day bring him into conflict with the most brutal dictator in the Caribbean---and a struggle for the love and life of the only woman he ever truly loved.

London. 1971. Harper Torchbooks. 20x13. 227p.

Vindiciae contra Tyrannos es un clasico indiscutible de la historia de la teoria politica y constitucional, que ahora se pone por vez primera al alcance del lector en espanol. La presente edicion ha sido cuidadosamente elaborada a partir del texto original en latin, completado por la version francesa posterior. Publicada de forma anonima en 1579, esta biblia del derecho de resistencia como la llama Q. Skinner- se atribuye normalmente a Philippe Duplessis-Mornay aunque continua abierta la polemica sobre el autor. Texto de combate ideologico, la Vindiciae es la mejor expresion de la doctrina formulada por los hugonotes franceses a raiz de la matanza de San Bartolome, la tragica noche del 23 al 24 de agosto de 1572. Refleja con todo rigor intelectual y un brillante despliegue de erudicion historica y literaria el argumento nuclear de los monarcomacos: el gobernante injusto degenera en tirano y frente al despotismo es licita la resistencia, incluido el tiranicidio en casos extremos. Mas alla del contexto historico, que analiza Harold Laski de forma magistral, su influencia alcanza a corto y medio plazo a la doctrina del contrato social, las libertades locales, el sistema federal y el propio regimen representativo. De este modo, Stephanus Junius Brutus ocupa un lugar de privilegio en la defensa de los derechos del pueblo frente al absolutismo monarquico y, por tanto, en la configuracion teorica del Estado constitucional.
