Tuscany is a landscape whose cultural construction is complicated and multi-layered. It is this very complexity that this book seeks to untangle. By revealing hidden histories, we learn how food, landscape and architecture are intertwined, as well as the extent to which Italian design and contemporary consumption patterns form a legacy that draws upon the Romantic longings of a century before. In the process, this book reveals the extent to which Tuscany has been constructed by Anglos — and what has been distorted, idealized and even overlooked in the process.

Our Danish Connection is a collection of 72 short essays that originally appeared in ST. CROIX THIS WEEK magazine (permission obtained) under that heading from 2009 through 2019. It documents the surprisingly extensive legacy of cultural, architectural, and genealogical resources from 1733 as a colony of Denmark until its sale with the islands of St. Thomas and St. John in 1917 to the United States. The tragic use of enslavement of Africans brought here to work in sugar cane fields temporarily enriched the European owners but emancipation took place in 1848. The Danish imprint on the culture has led to a surprising friendship between the islanders and Denmark with many conciliatory initiatives and large tourism and scholarly interests from Danes, creating a mood of mutual acceptance and support unusual between a former colony and its owners. The book contains a translation into Danish of all the essays by the author Nina York , a native of Denmark and resident of St. Croix since 1976. The book is supported by the St. Croix Friends of Denmark Society and the Danish West Indian Society of Denmark. We all share a love for this island as a special place to live.
