Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very good. Second printing [stated]. xvii, [3], 300 pages. Front endpaper map. Minor DJ soiling. Illustrations (26 b&w photos). Abbreviations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. In June 1944, Nazi troops in the French town of Oradour-sur-Glane massacred more than 600 men, wome…n and children and torched the town. Today, the town's ruins remain as a national monument, yet the meaning of what happened there has changed over time, as the French have struggled to come to terms with the legacy of WWII. Farmer, a history professor at the University of Iowa, published a version of this book in French four years ago; her firsthand knowledge of the site and survivors of the massacre give the book an emotional punch. Farmer starts with an account of the town's destruction, then describes how Oradour became the premier symbol of French innocence destroyed by Nazi brutality. By the 1950s, however, when 21 soldiers who participated in the massacre were put on trial and ultimately pardoned, the war years no longer appeared so black and white. Of the 21 soldiers, 14 were French from Alsace, and unlike surviving citizens of Oradour, the French government was more concerned with forgetting collaborators than with memorializing victims. Farmer has a fine eye for irony, pointing out "the enormous difficulty and expense of trying to maintain a ruin in a ruined state." The book does a fine job of summarizing France's postwar political infighting, the best moments are more personal: interviews with people who describe growing up in the tragic shadow of the old town, descriptions of the present-day ruins and meditations on the nature of memory. Among German crimes of the Second World War, the Nazi massacre of 642 men, women, and children at Oradour-sur-Glane on June 10, 1944, is one of the most notorious. On that Saturday afternoon, four days after the Allied landings in Normandy, SS troops encircled the town in the rolling farm country of the Limousin. Soldiers marched the men to nearby barns, lined them up, and shot them. They then locked the women and children in the church, shot them, and set the building and the rest of the town on fire. Residents who had been away for the day returned to a blackened scene of horror, carnage, and devastation. In 1946 the French State expropriated and preserved the entire ruins of Oradour. The forty acres of crumbling houses, farms and shops became France's village martyr, set up as a monument to French suffering under the German occupation. Today, the village is a tourist destination, complete with maps and guidebooks. In this first full-scale study of the destruction of Oradour and its remembrance over the half century since the war, Sarah Farmer investigates the prominence of the massacre in French understanding of the national experience under German domination. Through interviews with survivors and village officials, as well as extensive archival research, she pieces together a fascinating history of both a shattering event and its memorial afterlife. Complemented by haunting photographs of the site, Farmer's eloquent dissection of France's national memory addresses the personal and private ways in which, through remembrance, people try to come to terms with enormous loss. Martyred Village will have implications for the study of the history and sociology of memory, testimonies about remembrances of war and the Holocaust, and postmodern concerns with the presentation of the past.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Governments around the globe are promoting co-production and community social enterprise as policy strategies to address the need for local, 21st century service provision - but can small communities engage spontaneously in social enterprise and what is the true potential for citizens to produce servic…es? This book addresses a clutch of contemporary societal challenges including: aging demography and the consequent need for extended care in communities; public service provision in an era of retrenching welfare and global financial crises; service provision to rural communities that are increasingly 'hollowed out' through lack of working age people; and, how best to engender the development of community social enterprise organizations capable of providing high quality, accessible services. It is packed with information and evidence garnered from research into the environment for developing community social enterprise and co-producing services; how communities react to being asked to co-produce; what to expect in terms of the social enterprises they can produce; and, how to make them happen. This book is an antidote to the rhetoric of optimistic governments that pronounce co-production as a panacea to the challenges of providing local services and by drawing on the evidence from a 'real-life' international study will make policy makers more savvy about their aspirations for co-production, give service professionals practical strategies for working with communities, fill a gap in the academic evidence about community, as opposed to individual, social enterprise and reassure community members that they can deliver services through community social enterprise if the right partnerships and strategies are in place. Community Co-Production will appeal to students and scholars over a broad range of disciplines including development, entrepreneurship, public and social policy, economics and regional studies.

Aggiungi al carrelloConcord and Boston, Mass.; New York; and elsewhere, 18971921. Approximately 628 pages of autograph and typed letters signed (ALSs and TLSs). Various sizes, mostly 4to and 8vo. Fold lines; overall very good condition. Archive of 628 letters received by Dr. John Lemuel Murray Willis (18561924), physician of Eliot, Maine. The most…important facet of this archive centers on the mental health crisis and institutionalization of Sarah Jane Farmer (18471916), whose religious beliefs and public role as founder of the Green Acre Bahá'í School shaped both her treatment and the responses of those around her. The collection includes firsthand correspondence from Transcendentalist biographer Franklin B. Sanborn (18311917), along with letters from fellow physicians, concerned friends, and advocates seeking Farmer's release and legal protection during her prolonged and contested institutionalization. A native of Eliot, Maine and Sanborn friend, Sarah Jane Farmer came from a Transcendentalist family aligned with abolitionism and other progressive causes. She joined her physician, Dr. John Lemuel Murray Willis (18561924), and others in 1890 to open a hotel in Eliot named "Green Acre," a title suggested by poet John Greenleaf Whittier. By 1894, Farmer dedicated Green Acre to the ideals of peace and the comparative study of religions. She instituted a series of Green Acre Conferences, there flying the first-ever peace flag. After traveling to Palestine and a conversion to the Bahá'í faith, Farmer founded what would become the Green Acre Bahá'í School. By 1909, Farmer began to experience symptoms of mental illness. Her longtime physician, Dr. Willis, became enmeshed in efforts to institutionalize her. Friends such as Sara Bull and Sanborn pleaded for more humane treatment. Sanborn, acting as her legal representative, accused Willis of concealing her condition from specialists and misleading authoritiescharges reflected in a series of scathing letters. Sanborn's accusations culminated in Farmer's transfer to McLean Hospital without the knowledge of her Boston circle. In the Spring of 1910, friend of Farmer's, Sara C. Bull, wrote to Dr. Willis about Farmer receiving treatment in Bengal, Maine. A typed copy of her letter noting, "It seems to me Bengal promises new conditions with skill and as good care as elsewhere? The miracle of Miss Farmer's spiritual nature overcoming the psychic and physical disease may occur" By mid-1911 Farmer suffered a mental "attack" of some kind. Five letters by Franklin B. Sanborn demonstrate his involvement as Farmer's power-of-attorney in protecting her interests from caregivers, guardians, and even from her personal physician, Dr. Willis. Two letters from Louise Chapman Hotchkiss seek the help of Dr. Willis and Dr. Edward S. Cowles, a proprietor of a psychotherapeutic sanatarium in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, to find her suitable living arrangements: "Six months agoshe was was violent, noisy and destructivefor three or four days. Since then the "attacks" have grown wilder; until she now passes through them (she has had four) the nurse informs me, almost without losing conscious control. So you can see that any rational and unprejudiced mind must entertain large hope for Miss Farmer's still greater improvement" In July 1913, Franklin B. Sanborn, wrote to Dr. Willis excoriating him for his poor treatment of Farmer: "You will remember that, more than three years ago, I wrote you, strongly urging you to see that Miss Farmer was put under the care of experts in insanity, from which malady she had been suffering for at least a year. Her malady was then increased by being restrained under improper care in her own new house [Farmer] has now told me what happened soon after. She says that Dr. Brownrigg of the Highland Sanitarium at Nashua came down to see her in her house, apparently at your suggestion; that she was then in one of her lucid intervals, and that he was not informed that she had attacks of violent mani.
