Growing Up : The Dog Years

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Kim Levin`s documentary-style black-and-white photographs capture the pure essence of doghood in a way that dog lovers recognize and appreciate from the first instant they view her work. Like the most successful photojournalists, Levin`s greatest gift is timing. Never posed or anthropomorphized, her subjects guide her process, she allows them to simply be themselves as she waits patiently for the perfect shot. Levin`s photographs, complemented by thoughtful, concise text, have yieldeda series of successful gift books and garnered her a loyal fan base. Her latest book honors the theme of growing up and the lifelong process of becoming oneself. Like Dogma, the book that preceded it, Growing Up ventures beyond celebrating the canine species to explore the kinship and commonalities between dogs and humanity. The candid style of the photographs and economy of the text make the comparison elegant, endearing, and poignant without relying on saccharine cuteness or… [detailed...]

Martin Japtok
Growing Up Ethnic: Nationalism and the Bildungsroman in African American and Jewish American Fiction

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Growing Up Ethnic examines the presence of literary similarities between African American and Jewish American coming-of-age stories in the first half of the twentieth century, often these similarities exceed what could be explained by sociohistorical correspondences alone. Martin Japtok argues that these similarities result from the way both African American and Jewish American authors have conceptualized their `ethnic situation.` The issue of `race` and its social repercussions certainly defy any easy comparisons. However, the fact that the ethnic situations are far from identical in the case of these two groups only highlights the striking thematic correspondences in how a number of African American and Jewish American coming-of-age stories construct ethnicity. Japtok studies three pairs of novels--James Weldon Johnson`s Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man and Samuel Ornitz`s Haunch, Paunch and Jowl, Jessie Fauset`s Plum Bun and Edna Ferber`s Fanny Herself, and Paule Marshall`s… [detailed...]

Jones found joy in family life and comfort in the kindness of strangers as he fought to get work, struggled to care for his loved ones, and vowed to represent the rights of coal miners in Washington. Despite the poverty and strife that frequently characterized the region, Jones` memoir is suffused with gratitude and… [detailed...]
