Emma Brown

Clare Boyland and Charlotte Brontë
Publication Details
Book, 1st American ed, Viking, 2004
Description
The twenty unfinished manuscript pages that are the nucleus of Emma Brown signaled her most compelling work since Jane Eyre?the story of a young girl, Matilda, brought by her father to a small school in provincial Victorian England. From the drawing rooms of English country society to the grimy backstreets of London?s seamiest reaches, from the dandified members of the city?s elite clubs to the blowsy ranks of its brothels, Emma Brown follows the search?first for Matilda?s true identity and then for the girl herself.

Education For Extinction : American Indians And The Boarding School Experience, 1875-1928

Attribution
David Wallace Adams
Publication Details
Book, University Press of Kansas, 1995
Description
The last “Indian War” was fought against Native American children in the dormitories and classrooms of government boarding schools. Much more than a study of federal Indian policy, this book vividly details the day-to-day experiences of Indian youth living in a “total institution” designed to reconstruct them both psychologically and culturally. Based upon extensive use of government archives, Indian and teacher autobiographies, and school newspapers, Adams’s moving account is essential reading for scholars and general readers alike interested in Western history, Native American studies, American race relations, education history, and multiculturalism. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
