On January 9th 2014, residents across Charleston, West Virginia,
awoke to an unusual liquorice smell in the air and a similar taste
in the public drinking water. That evening residents were informed
that the tap water in tens of thousands of homes, hundred of
businesses, and dozens of schools and hospitals - the water made
available to as many as 300,00 citizens in a nine-county region -
had been contaminated with a chemical used for cleaning crushed
coal. This books tells a particular set of stories about that
chemical spill and its aftermath, an unfolding water crisis that
would lead to months, even years, of fear and distrust. It is both
oral history and collaborative ethnography, jointly conceptualised,
researched, and written by people - more than fifty in all - across
various positions in academia and local communities. I'm Afraid of
That Water foregrounds the ongoing concerns of West Virginians (and
people in comparable situations in places like Flint, Michigan)
confronted by the problem of contamination, where thresholds for
official safety may be crossed, but a genuine return to normality
is elusive.
Stephen Bourne (1791 1868) was a British civil servant who served
as a magistrate in Jamaica between 1834 and 1841 and as Registrar
of British Guiana between 1841 and 1848. His daughter Elizabeth
Campbell left England with her father in 1834, and lived in the
West Indies for thirteen years. This volume contains two essays and
a published letter, the essays written by Elizabeth Campbell and
the letter by Stephen Bourne, discussing the effects and limits of
the Emancipation Act on the economy and society of the British West
Indies. The two essays by Campbell discuss the limited social
effects of the Emancipation Act, with the letter by Bourne
suggesting ways to improve the economic prosperity of the West
Indies. The ideology of later abolitionists, who endeavoured to
improve social and economic conditions in plantations to
demonstrate the possibility of prosperity without slavery, is fully
explored in this volume.
This is a book that challenges contemporary images of 'place'. Too
often we are told about 'deprived neighbourhoods' but rarely do the
people who live in those communities get to shape the agenda and
describe, from their perspective, what is important to them. In
this unique book the process of re-imagining comes to the fore in a
fresh and contemporary look at one UK town, Rotherham. Using
history, artistic practice, writing, poetry, autobiography and
collaborative ethnography, this book literally and figuratively
re-imagines a place. It is a manifesto for alternative visions of
community, located in histories and cultural reference points that
often remain unheard within the mainstream media. As such, the book
presents a 'how to' for researchers interested in community
collaborative research and accessing alternative ways of knowing
and voices in marginalised communities.

There is no deeper grief than the loss of a child. It won't be
easy. But you can make it through. Grieving the loss of a child is
a deeply private, personal and sometimes brutally lonely process.
Author Elizabeth Campbell Huntsman has been there herself. THE FINE
ART OF BEING VERTICAL is a workbook she developed following the
loss of her son; it is filled with exercises she uses to lead grief
support groups. This workbook is designed to be a simple, brief,
no-nonsense tool to help grieving parents during their darkest
hours. This book gives the parent personal space to work through
such issues as: - Handling people who say "helpful" things that
hurt. - Deciding what to do with your child's things. - Dealing
with guilt. - Interacting with family members who grieve
differently than you. - Understanding the differences your child's
manner of death and age can make in the grieving process. - Finding
beauty in life again. - And many more issues grieving parents face
...
