DOWNLOAD EBOOKSome might expect from the title that this would be a book about Baptists, but instead it's the story of Jewish life in Memphis from the antebellum period through the 1960s, and of how and why Jews developed a respectful relationship with others in the heart of the Bible Belt. The Jews not only took care of their own, but also became contributors to their city by holding positions of municipal leadership, actively supporting Memphis' cultural and philanthropic activities, and supporting racial integration. As a historian and member of the Jewish community in Memphis, Lewis, U. of Vanderbilt and Memphis, was commissioned to write this history by the Jewish Historical Society of Memphis and the Mid-South.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKInspired by memories of her beloved grandmother, photographer and author Alysia Burton Steele -- picture editor on a Pulitzer Prize-winning team -- combines heart-wrenching narrative with poignant photographs of more than 50 female church elders in the Mississippi Delta. These ordinary women lived extraordinary lives under the harshest conditions of the Jim Crow era and during the courageous changes of the Civil Rights Movement. With the help of local pastors, Steele recorded these living witnesses to history and folk ways, and shares the significance of being a Black woman -- child, daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother in Mississippi -- a Jewel of the Delta. From the stand Mrs. Tennie Self took for her marriage to be acknowledged in the phone book, to the life-threatening sacrifice required to vote for the first time, these 50 inspiring portraits are the faces of love and triumph that will teach readers faith and courage in difficult times.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Shandler takes a wide-ranging look at Yiddish culture, including language learning, literary translation, performance, and material culture. He examines children's books, board games, summer camps, klezmer music, cultural festivals, language clubs, Web sites, cartoons, and collectibles - all touchstones of the meaning of Yiddish as it enters its second millennium. Rather than mourn the language's demise, Adventures in Yiddishland calls for taking an expansive approach to the possibilities for the future of Yiddish. Shandler's conceptualization of postvernacularity sheds important new light on contemporary Jewish culture generally and offers insights into theorizing the relation between language and culture."--BOOK JACKET.
