Set in Stone
Author: Kenneth Shefsiek
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438464371
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
Winner of the 2017 Hendricks Award presented by the New Netherland Institute In 1678, seven French-speaking Protestant families established the village of New Paltz in the Hudson River Valley of New York. Life on the edge of European settlement presented many challenges, but a particular challenge for these ethnic Walloon families, originally from the southern Spanish Netherlands, was that they lived in a Dutch cultural region in an English colony. In Set in Stone, Kenneth Shefsiek explores how the founders and their descendants reacted to and perpetuated this multiethnic cultural environment for generations. As the founding families controlled their town economically and politically, they creatively and selectively blended the cultures available to them. They allowed their Walloon culture to slip away early in the village's history, but they continued to combine Dutch and English cultures for more than 150 years. When they finally abandoned the last vestiges of Dutch culture in the early nineteenth century, they did so just as descendants of English colonists began to claim that the national commitment to liberty and freedom was grounded in the nation's English heritage. Not willing to be marginalized, descendants of the New Paltz Walloons constructed an alternative national narrative, placing their ancestors at the very center of the American story.

Chtimi
Author: Timothy Pooley
Publisher: Multilingual Matters
ISBN: 9781853593451
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
"The different ways in which a language may be pronounced is not only a constant source of fascination for speakers and learners, but also a powerful symbol of regional identity. Using recordings of spontaneous speech by working-class speakers from an urban, industrial environment in northern France, Tim Pooley traces the development of the urban vernacular of the Lille area - often referred to as Chtimi - from a traditional patois to a variety of Regional French against the background of the social changes that have occurred in the speakers' lifetimes." "The result is, firstly, a study in sociolinguistic variation (both from the structural and sociolinguistic viewpoints); secondly, an analysis of language shift in a context where the obsolescent language is closely related to the dominant variety; and thirdly, a detailed analysis of the key features of the phonology and grammar of northern Regional French." "It is also one of the first studies concerned with France to show how network factors may influence speakers' use of French."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Hourglass Socioeconomics Vol. 3: Global Interpretation
Author: Blaine Stewart
Publisher: Writers Republic LLC
ISBN: 1646208447
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Hourglass Socioeconomics Volume 3: Global Interpretation steps into the realm of national involvement with foreign entities in twos, threes, fours and more. From economic partnership to armed conflict, a third person perspective of interaction through historical events measures the capacity a relationship between, or among, holds for the greater good or nefarity. To build a bridge, an alliance through economic partnership suspends expansions by cohesive principles if a successful relationship is maintained. Adhesive fundamentals arise when the band aid of cooperation is ripped off. Any matter of involvement is spun gravitationally toward equilibrium or armed conflict and determined by the genetic coding and accelerants of each nation or entity-mass in relativistic measure to another. A bridge between requires maintenance. Biology, cellular division, and replication open the topic of chain sequencing through time and space as historical events act to accelerate or manipulate mass-genetic coding to pull nations closer together in cohesion or drive them apart. In conflict, the focus is on proxy involvement in manipulative measures against a nation through proctor action. The Civil War, unrest in Africa, and war in the Middle East, among mentions of other large scale conflicts, act to set the stage in principality. NAFTA, CAFTA, the EU and the Asian Pacific Partnership draw lines into economic cooperation as humanity’s continued success or failure. And then, there are always Black Holes.
