The authors of Re-Indigenizing Ecological Consciousness and the
Interconnectedness to Indigenous Identities share the diversity and
complexities of the Indigenous context of worldviews, examining
relationships between humans and other living beings within an
eco-conscious lens. Michelle Montgomery's edited volume shows that
we belong not only to a human community, but to a community of all
nature as well. The contributors demonstrate that the reciprocity
of Indigenous knowledges is inclusive and represents worldviews for
regenerative solutions and the need to realign our view of the
environment as a "who" rather than an "it." This reciprocity is
intertwined as an obligation of environmental ethics to acknowledge
the attributes of Indigenous knowledges as not merely a body of
knowledge but as multiple layers or levels of placed-based
knowledges, identities, and lived experiences.
The ten essays in The Crucible of Carolina explore the connections
between the language and culture of South Carolina's barrier
islands, West Africa, the Caribbean, and England. Decades before
any formal, scholarly interest in South Carolina barrier life,
outsiders had been commenting on and documenting the "African"
qualities of the region's black inhabitants. These qualities have
long been manifest in their language, religious practices, music,
and material culture. Although direct contact between South
Carolina and Africa continued until the Civil War, the era of
Caribbean contact was briefer and ended with the close of the
American colonial period. Throughout this volume, though, the
contributors look beyond the cultural motivations and political
appeal of strengthening the links between coastal Carolina and
Africa and examine the cost of a diminished recognition of this
important Caribbean influence. Not surprisingly, the influence of
the pioneering linguist Lorenzo Dow Turner is reflected in many of
these essays. The work presented in this volume, however, moves
beyond Turner in dealing with the discourse and stylistic aspects
of Gullah; in relating patters of Gullah to other Anglophone
creoles and to various processes of creolization; and in
questioning the usefulness of "retention," "survival," and
"continuity" as operational concepts in comparative research.
Within this context of furthering and challenging Turner's work in
the barrier islands, and in seeking a truer measure of both African
and Caribbean influences there, the contributors cover such topics
as names and naming, the language of religious rituals,
basket-making traditions, creole discourse patterns, and the
grammatical morphology of Gullah and related creole and pidgin
languages. Other contributors consider the substrate contributions
and African continuities to be found in New World language patterns
into new patterns adapted to the various situations in the New
World. Opening new and advancing previous areas of research, The
Crucible of Carolina also contributes to a further appreciation of
the richness and diversity of South Carolina's cultural heritage.
This bibliography orders one major genre of research in American
Puritan studies--doctoral dissertations and published monographs
based on them--to facilitate access to many significant but often
neglected studies, and to display per exemplum the remarkably broad
array of topics that have interested students of the American
Puritans. It comprises citations of and abstracts for 940 American,
British, Canadian, and German doctoral dissertations from 1882
through 1981. Dissertations cited treat entirely or in part some
aspect of the history, theology, literature, and culture of the
American Puritans, from the time of the Mayflower through 1730, and
the perceived influence of Puritanism on later American thought.
Also included are historiographical studies on the idea of
Puritanism as interpreted by later generations of Americans. Each
citation is annotated with a brief abstract and/or the table of
contents. For ease of access to the contents of this bibliography,
Montgomery has provided four indexes: author/editor/compiler,
short-title, degree-granting institution, and subject.

Two of Verna Mae Slone's most beloved books--"How We Talked" and
"Common Folks"--are now available in a single edition. "How We
Talked" is a timeless piece of literature, a free-form combination
of glossary and memoir that uses native expressions to depict
everyday life in Caney Creek, Kentucky. In addition to phrases and
their meanings, the book contains sections on the customs and
wisdom of Slone's community, a collection of children's rhymes, and
stories and superstitions unique to Appalachia. More than just a
dictionary, "How We Talked" is a rich compendium of life "on
Caney," offering an understanding of the culture through the
distinctive speech of its people. Originally published in 1979,
"Common Folks" documents Slone's way of life in Pippa Passes,
Kentucky, and expands on such diverse topics as family pets, coal
mining, education, and marriage. Slone's firsthand account of this
unique heritage draws readers into her hill-circled community and
allows them to experience a lifestyle that is nearly forgotten.
Whether she is writing about traditional Appalachian customs like
folk medicine or about universal aspects of life such as a mother's
yearning for the little girl she never had, Slone's instinctive
sense of what matters most makes "Common Folks" a compelling
meditation on a legacy worth remembering. Published together for
the first time, "How We Talked "and "Common Folks "celebrate the
spirit of an acclaimed Appalachian writer.
