Book Description
"Vermont's story is filled with rebellious individuals and collective outbursts, people and moments that forged its path as a small, independent state with a strong sense of how to preserve its traditions while changing with the times. Restless Spirits & Popular Movements revisits this unique history through memorable events and people who helped create the delicate balance of sovereignty and solidarity, political independence and mutual aid known as the Vermont Way. The book explores Vermont's past and values through the exploits of Vermonters like revolutionary leaders Matthew Lyon and Ethan Allen; Anti-Mason Governor William Palmer and feminist pioneer Clarina Nichols; railroad and marble tycoons, anti-slavery activists, socialist activists and labor protesters; Vermont-born Presidents Chester Arthur and Calvin Coolidge; progressive innovators like James Burke and Ernest Gibson; modern political leaders like Phil Hoff, Richard Snelling, Madeleine Kunin, James Jeffords, Howard Dean, and Bernie Sanders; and even a Vermonter who rescued America from Joseph McCarthy. It is an attempt to look back at Vermont's past with fresh eyes, recast the drama, correct the record, and reclaim stories lost, distorted or buried along the way"--

Night of the Restless Spirits
Author: Sarbpreet Singh
Publisher: Penguin Random House India Private Limited
ISBN: 9353059763
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
A young Indian in the USA embraces a cause rooted in his motherland, but one that he doesn't fully understand. A student's world is turned upside down when his friend and her family are caught in the cross hairs of volatility and violence. A train burns as it enters Delhi, and the sole Sikh survivor shares with the nation the harrowing tale of his survival . . . These and many other stories form this heart-rending collection that evokes the horrors and uncertainties of 1984, through the tales of ordinary people caught in something bigger than themselves. Set during a time of monumental upheaval, Night of the Restless Spirits blurs the lines between the personal and political, and takes the reader on a journey fraught with love and tinged with tragedy, frayed relationships, the breaking down of humanity and resilience in the face of absolute despair. These stories tell us that people are capable of the best and the worst, but that ultimately there is always hope.
