Book Description
As development overturns the landscape of North Carolina, tenth-grader Chris Fuller knows he'll end up fighting Brandon, a new kid who just moved into the housing development that destroyed Chris's beloved pine forest. Brandon turns out to be a real runner, far better than Chris, shows no respect for locals, and when it comes to a school project that has Chris baffled, slams his hand down and says, "It's as good as done!" Chris needs an idea for the project, but mostly he's trying to find a way to be talking to violinist Muriel. She makes the crazy suggestion he try talking to someone from the past, anyone who might give him an idea. But he's pretty sure he's already been spoken to, maybe by a mythological night sky jaguar, who asks, "Do you know how fire burns in water?" When Chris's first idea falters and he gets desperate, the jaguar makes a way for Brandon's troubled past and Chris's faithfulness as a friend to cross paths and carry them to a new place of standing and friendship.

“Do we ever really know our children? Amber Garza invites readers to untangle the web of a family just like yours—or are they?

A monster she is living with, alone?

Nativism and Slavery
Author: Tyler Anbinder
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 0195089227
Category : Antislavery movements
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
Although the United States has always portrayed itself as a sanctuary for the world's victim's of poverty and oppression, anti-immigrant movements have enjoyed remarkable success throughout American history. None attained greater prominence than the Order of the Star Spangled Banner, a fraternal order referred to most commonly as the Know Nothing party. Vowing to reduce the political influence of immigrants and Catholics, the Know Nothings burst onto the American political scene in 1854, and by the end of the following year they had elected eight governors, more than one hundred congressmen, and thousands of other local officials including the mayors of Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Chicago. After their initial successes, the Know Nothings attempted to increase their appeal by converting their network of lodges into a conventional political organization, which they christened the "American Party." Recently, historians have pointed to the Know Nothings' success as evidence that ethnic and religious issues mattered more to nineteenth-century voters than better-known national issues such as slavery. In this important book, however, Anbinder argues that the Know Nothings' phenomenal success was inextricably linked to the firm stance their northern members took against the extension of slavery. Most Know Nothings, he asserts, saw slavery and Catholicism as interconnected evils that should be fought in tandem. Although the Know Nothings certainly were bigots, their party provided an early outlet for the anti-slavery sentiment that eventually led to the Civil War. Anbinder's study presents the first comprehensive history of America's most successful anti-immigrant movement, as well as a major reinterpretation of the political crisis that led to the Civil War.
