With Union troops literally in their backyard, two southern women of privilege recorded in their diaries the fall of the south in the last months of the American Civil War. "How much some people have suffered." Unable to see the suffering their southern culture has wrought for more than two centuries, the women seem only aware of the loss of those whose privilege was built on the bondage of others. Essential to the owning of a human being is the inability to see them as a human being. As Union "colored" troops are among the soldiers marching through their land, the women are terrified of what they may do or what they will stir up in the slaves that remain on plantations. They write of the "impudence" of some of their remaining slaves, as if a lifetime of bondage should not have been expected to embitter them and leave them with little politeness for their masters. This edition is abridged and annotated. For the first time, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

The diary as a genre is found in all literate societies, and these autobiographical accounts are written by persons of all ranks and positions. The Diary offers an exploration of the form in its social, historical, and cultural-literary contexts with its own distinctive features, poetics, and rhetoric. The contributors to this volume examine theories and interpretations relating to writing and studying diaries; the formation of diary canons in the United Kingdom, France, United States, and Brazil; and the ways in which handwritten diaries are transformed through processes of publication and digitization. The authors also explore different diary formats, including the travel diary, the private diary, conflict diaries written during periods of crisis, and the diaries of the digital era, such as blogs. The Diary offers a comprehensive overview of the genre, synthesizing decades of interdisciplinary study to enrich our understanding of, research about, and engagement with the diary as literary form and historical documentation.

This unique book examines variability among custodial grandparent caregivers. It focuses on diversity among grandparent-headed families in domestic and international settings, with over 35 contributors exploring the many factors that contribute to such diversity. It also examines diversity across individual differences, especially those of gender and age, ethnicity and race, and culture. An awareness of their uniqueness is essential to the process of understanding the demands of custodial grandparents' new roles, and in providing appropriate services to them. Whatever the reason, most grandparents raising grandchildren never anticipated that they would parent again. For most, this new role causes significant upheaval in their lives. Problems contributing to stress may include having to give up or reduce hours of work, early retirement, and providing financial and emotional support for their grandchildren. This book is a valuable resource for practitioners and extension educators who work with grandparents raising their grandchildren. It provides a wealth of information and a basis on which national and state-run services can evaluate their current policies and devise funds, services, and programs that will help this growing population successfully raise their grandchildren.
