The tremendous recent growth of the women's movement as a political
force has been accompanied by an event of equal import to the
academic world--the development of the discipline of women's
studies. Colleges across the nation are establishing programs in
this area. Women's Studies is a classroom anthology designed for
use in these newly-introduced courses.
Drawing on his experience as a social scientist, Walter Johnson
outlines some of the challenges posted by the increasing
ethno-cultural diversity of society through an examination of
immigration history, the debate over immigration policy and the
issues of multiculturalism, racism, employment and racial
profiling.
Originally published in 1912, this volume provides a detailed and
enthusiastically written history of Britain's churches and their
churchyards. With particular emphasis on the concept of 'folk
memory', a diminishing means of recalling and understanding the
past, Johnson's study looks at material archaeological discoveries
whilst also addressing the significance of place names, site
orientation, folktales and pagan prehistory. In this
well-illustrated and informative work, Johnson's extensive research
navigates the complexities of Britain's religious past, producing a
series of fascinating interrelated arguments. Johnson addresses
numerous topics, including the construction of churches on pagan
sites, the churchyard yew and the survival of past rituals within
burial customs. This book provides a detailed and far-reaching
investigation of the archaeology and architecture of hundreds of
churches across England and Wales, and will be enjoyed by anybody
with an interest in British archaeology, or the histories of
British churches and Christian traditions.
