Book Description

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow immortalized Portland, Maine, as the beautiful town that is seated by the sea. In this volume, Maine author Luann Yetter presents the stories from its past that not only showcase this exquisiteness but also illuminate its diverse and exciting history. The founding members of the Forest City braved the harsh winters, but not without scandals and struggles. One man raised a navy to fight the Barbary pirates threatening ships that sailed from Casco Bay, and privateers brought rum onboard and ashore. And while one Portlander traded slaves, many others worked the Underground Railroad as staunch antislavery crusaders. Discover Portland from its beginning as uncharted territory through to its development into the quintessential New England city it is today.

Book Description

The figure of the rebel of the 1950s shaped the imagination of the American post-war generation. Yet the notoriety of the rebel resides uneasily beside that of the conformist, ironically one of the other central figures of the decade. This collection of essays, which originated at an international conference in Trier, Germany, in 2005, sets out to explain the multiple representations of rebellion and affirmation in 1950s American culture. It explores the ways in which rebellion was 'contained' and also disruptive during this pivotal decade of American ascendance on the global scene. In a series of essays written by prominent American Studies scholars in the United States and Germany, the collection explores the meaning of rebellion in the 1950s and its role in shaping theological, literary and cultural discourses.

Book Description

Sometimes opposites do way more than just attract… Wild passion is a luxury PhD candidate Gabriella Evans can’t afford. Her career needs her complete focus. And the ridiculously sexy tattooed biker she’s seen on the streets of her small coastal town is very distracting. But giving in to her reckless, rebellious desires would be a huge mistake…right? Connor Starks gave up his bad boy ways long ago. These days, he’ll do whatever is necessary to be a better man. But with Gabriella, everything is harder. Literally. Eventually, he’s afraid he’ll lose control. And if he does, she’d better hang on tight, because it’s going to be a rough, dirty ride… Can these polar opposites find their way to happily ever after? Only if the ghosts of Connor’s past—the ones that refuse to stay hidden—don’t ruin everything first… The Duality Principle, book 1 in the Portland Rebels series, is a steamy summer romance featuring a nerdy heroine and a reformed bad boy finding their HEA…with a little spanking and outdoor sex along the way.

Book Description

Clare Anderson provides a radical new reading of histories of empire and nation, showing that the history of punishment is not connected solely to the emergence of prisons and penitentiaries, but to histories of governance, occupation, and global connections across the world. Exploring punitive mobility to islands, colonies, and remote inland and border regions over a period of five centuries, she proposes a close and enduring connection between punishment, governance, repression, and nation and empire building, and reveals how states, imperial powers, and trading companies used convicts to satisfy various geo-political and social ambitions. Punitive mobility became intertwined with other forms of labour bondage, including enslavement, with convicts a key source of unfree labour that could be used to occupy territories. Far from passive subjects, however, convicts manifested their agency in various forms, including the extension of political ideology and cultural transfer, and vital contributions to contemporary knowledge production.
