Paperback. Etat : New. In the first decade of the twentieth century, a few closely related families established a utopian community in Canada's smallest province. Known officially as B. Compton Limited but described by a journalist in 1935 as "Prince Edward Island's unique 'brotherly love' community," this utopia owed its longevity to the cohesion provided by its communal organization, dense kin ties, and long-held millenarianism - and to a decidedly pragmatic approach to business. All Things in Common demonstrates how "un-utopian" such a community could be while problematizing the contention that the inevitable end of all utopian experiments is a full-blown dystopia. Beginning with a compelling backstory and locating the Compton community in the historiography of North American utopias, the author goes on to explore the community's business endeavours, its religious, familial, and transgressive aspects, and its brief period of international fame before assessing the factors that led to its dissolution in 1947. Providing a strong narrative framework, All Things in Common draws on rich family and archival records and diverse secondary sources, concluding with a consideration of the community's legacy for its alumni and their descendants. …

Paperback. Etat : New. During the interwar era, the world of mainstream Protestant missions was in transition. The once-dominant paradigm of separate spheres - "women's work for women" - had lost its saliency, and professional women often entered work worlds largely peopled by men. Medical missionaries Belle Choné Oliver and Florence Murray and literature specialist Margaret Wrong were three such women.Using these women's experiences in colonial India, Korea, and sub-Saharan Africa as case studies, Modern Women Modernizing Men explores how professionalism, religion, and feminism came together to enable missionary women to become the colleagues and mentors of Western and non-Western men. The "modern" Christian woman missionary, the author demonstrates, was in fact more an agent of modernization than an angel of domesticity.This book - a bold exploration of changing gender, professional, and race relations in colonial missionary settings - will be of interest to scholars engaged in gender, women's, and postcolonial studies, as well as to readers interested in the history of the international missionary movement.…
