Ajouter au panierSoft cover. Etat : Very Good-. Green card covers, staple-bound. Tip of bottom corner of pages are scorched and lightly chipped (not affecting any text), else clean. Includes a handful of linoprint-type illustrations. 23, [1] pages. A scarce copy of Tide, the literary journal of the Writers' Club of the College of Puget Sound. This issue features a piece by Herbert Arntson (1911-1982), who went on to become an award-winning author of juvenile historical novels set in the pioneer milieu of Oregon and Washington. He served on the faculty of Washington State University, 1946-1974, where he was head of the creative writing program. (His papers are collected at the University of Oregon Libraries Special Collections). One of the longer prose pieces is a story titled, ''The Class Struggle in Yelm, Washington,'' by James Docherty. It's a quirky tale that centers on a sketchy communist barber and a pro-fascist editor of a local newspaper. This issue also includes a book review by Francis Galbraith, who became the U.S. Ambassador to Singapore, 1966-1969, and Indonesia, 1969-1974. (The other brief book reviews cover Aldous Huxley and Charles Erskine Scott Wood). Dorothy Belle Harriss (m. Cairnes) contributes a poem. In January 1937, she became the first woman to serve as President of the University of Puget Sound Student Body. The cover was done by Maurita Shank (m. Runions), president of the C.P.S. Art Club.

Etat : Fine. 241 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm ; ISBN 9780911051674, 0911051678 OCLC 430078581 LCCN 2009920240 LC DT1388.H46 A3 2009 Dewey 967.303092 ; SIGNED presentation by author on title page ; color photographic stiff paper wrappers ; At Home Abroad is a stunning autobiography of Nancy Henderson-James's youth in Africa. Heart-wrenching is her uprooting at age 15 when the war for independence began, from Angola, whose natural world, people, customs, languages she so loved. Nancy bravely and articulately recounts a true saga of personal loss and bereavement. But out of the crucible of conflicts between herself and her parents, the Africa she loved and the America from which she felt estranged, comes crystalline strength, confidence, humor, and self-knowledge. Her journey to wholeness, with its exquisite analysis and detail, enlightens us, so that we, too, see our own lives with new understanding and compassion and recognize better our place in the 21st century as citizens of the world. --Judy Hogan, Founding Editor of Carolina Wren Press, 1976-91. ; In this intimate and detailed autobiography, Nancy Henderson-James throws open the door on a room in the history of religion that has been locked and double-bolted: the life of a child of Christian missionaries in the 1950's in Africa. It is not another story of the children of a crazy preacher or an abusive father. Rather it is a story of the loneliness of a daughter of liberal Protestant missionaries who do (almost) everything right professionally, but are absent in crucial ways to the lives of their children. "I was dancing between complex alliances of race, nationality, gender and religion." Readers will wince at a wastebasket made from an elephant's foot, at a child going to a male teacher to tell a secret that belongs to a parent, at images of spacious homes and multiple servants in a village of poor dwellings - ". . . my life in white colonial Angola . . .in the midst of a system fast coming apart." But At Home Abroad is also the story of a young woman finding her own way to survival, to freedom, and to her own spiritual path. -- Pat Schneider, author: Writing Alone and With Others, Oxford University Press, 2003 ; Nancy Henderson-James has written a tremendous book. Her writing skillfully weaves the threads of a beautiful exotic setting, the discoveries and tensions of adolescence, the powerful shaping attachment to a very particular place, and the void of absence. I highly recommend her memoir to anyone exploring the mysterious terrain of childhood, the challenge of straddling vastly different worlds, or the way loss adds depth as well as pain to a thoughtful life. -- Mary Edwards Wertsch, author of Military Brats: Legacies of Childhood Inside the Fortress ; Henderson-James has written a wonderfully constructed memoir filled with honesty and tenderness describing an intriguing childhood life compelling her to straddle different cultures. And through its elegant prose, resonant images and informative commentaries, this gem of a book effectively presents a thoroughly engrossing and moving account of experiences that most of us would otherwise know very little about.-- Norm Goldman ; FINE. Book.
