ABSTRACT “An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory.” –Ralph Waldo Emerson Four Georgia women authors focus on different but equally important components of life: the natural environment of Janisse Ray, relationships in Mary Hood, culture in Tina McElroy Ansa, and sociological history in Melissa Fay Greene. While the focus of the writings by these authors overlap, their various approaches examined together reveal the essential areas where contemporary society has lost its way. All four argue how not to live by pointing out examples of negative actions and the consequences of human carelessness. Through compelling stories, these four authors show us how to preserve and improve our environment, our relationships, our culture, and our history. Ansa, Greene, Hood, and Ray are all from Georgia and write about both Georgia and the world from the perspective of contemporary Georgia. However, these four authors do not defend or deny the atrocities of the South but rather attempt to make reparations through better ideas, improved behavior, and a portrayal of southern places and people that acknowledges the wrongs of present and past and brings healing and growth to humans and to the environment. What unites all four authors is their dual purpose and more importantly a dual positive effect. Readers are entertained, but they are also motivated to act more consciously in their own relationships and in their environments. All four authors promote the theme of nurture and care, often by revealing real people or characters who are careless or who fail to nurture.

This study, published in 1964, examines the history of the “pastoral ideal” in contrast to technology in America. To explain his own study, the author says, “In fact, this is not, strictly speaking, a book about literature; it is about the region of culture where literature, general ideas, and certain products of the collective imagination—we may call them ‘cultural symbols’—meet” (Marx 4). The first chapter establishes its thesis by a specific reference to Nathaniel Hawthorne (not normally considered the Concord, Massachusetts, early ecologist that Thoreau or even Emerson are) sitting in the woods observing nature in preparation to write. The title of this introductory chapter is “Sleepy Hollow 1844,” and the crux of this reference is that “the event” that becomes Hawthorne’s focus in this reflective piece is the interruption of the train going past, which disturbs his musings on nature. It is interesting to note that Hawthorne was considering nature when disturbed by the sound of the train although his contributions to literature are not nature writing or transcendentalism but highly imaginative Romantic fiction. This idea of the connections between all forms of writing, which can all be thwarted and hindered by technology and “progress,” is central to my thesis. Indeed, by 1844 the train had become a symbol not only of technological advances but a “favorite emblem” of “the overall progress of the [human] race” (Marx 27). Hawthorne’s exact lines in question are: “But, hark! there is the whistle of the locomotive – the long shriek, harsh, above all other harshness, for the space of a mile cannot mollify it into harmony” (qtd in Marx 5). Marx asserts the gendered tone voiced by the train itself in contrast to nature: “Most important is the sense of the machine as a sudden, shocking intruder upon a fantasy of idyllic 2 satisfaction. It invariably is associated with crude, masculine aggressiveness in contrast with the tender, feminine, and submissive attitudes traditionally attached to the landscape” (Marx 29). Apparently the other sounds in Concord that day like the sounds of laborers and cow bells did not bother the writer, but the machine disturbed the harmony of nature and the daily work of the community. 1 Leo Marx traces the history of the pastoral image to reveal that Hawthorne was by no means the first to write about this nature/technology dichotomy. As early as ancient Rome, Virgil was writing about landowners politically displaced to the city and thereby viewing a patch of land where they dreamed of returning as idealistic in contrast to his current abode. For example, Virgil wrote of a landowner character who contentedly sits on the land he has had returned to him, and “the woods ‘echo back’ the notes of his pipe” (Marx 23). Marx points out that the echo is often used in the pastoral as “another metaphor of reciprocity. It evokes that sense of relatedness between man and not-man which lends a metaphysical aspect to the mode” (Marx 23). The idealized image of a green valley in contrast to exile from that land is not new then, but the American complexity with the pastoral vs. technology has become something unique, especially since America itself began as a pastoral idea of an unspoiled land, but that green space is now dwindling due to development. For decades many Americans have adopted an attitude of contempt for urban life and have fled to the suburbs. Marx calls this flight “an inchoate longing for a more ‘natural’ environment” and judges “the result that we neglect

She turned her 1300 acres of farmland into a camp that has numbered up to 90,000 displaced people, ignoring the clan lines that have often served to divide the country. She inspired her daughters, Deqo and Amina, to become doctors. Together, they have saved tens of thousands of lives in her hospital, while providing an education to hundreds of displaced children.

    THE JEWISH PROBLEM: ANTI-SEMITIC ADMISSIONS QUOTAS IN SOUTHERN U.S. MEDICAL SCHOOLS, 1920s-1960s by Taylor Kristen Marks A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Charlotte 2020 Approved by: ______________________________ Dr. Aaron Shapiro ______________________________ Dr. Heather Perry ______________________________ ` Dr. David Goldfield ii ©2020 Taylor Kristen Marks ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT TAYLOR KRISTEN MARKS. The Jewish Problem: Anti-Semitic Admissions Quotas in Southern U.S. Medical Schools, 1920s-1960s. (Under the direction of DR. AARON SHAPIRO) Anti-Semitism and worldwide Jewish immigration quotas informed the implementation of Jewish quotas in medical schools around the country from the 1920s to the 1960s. While many are aware of immigration quotas and the anti-Semitism that ran rampant in the country, the same cannot be said for informal medical quotas that restricted Jewish students from admission into medical schools and Jewish doctors from employment. Some of the most well-known schools in the South, such as Georgetown University, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Emory University, Johns Hopkins University, Duke University, and Wake Forest College, implemented quotas discriminating against Jewish enrollment in each institution’s medical schools. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first like to express my deep gratitude to Dr. Aaron Shapiro, who guided me through this thesis and my graduate school experience with enthusiasm and care, making my two years at UNCC much easier to navigate. I would also like to extend my appreciation to my other committee members, Dr.

  • No Biking in the House Without a Helmet by Melissa Fay Greene
    SARAH CRICHTON BOOKS / FARRAR, STRAUS AND GIROUX Reading Group Gold No Biking in the House Without a Helmet by Melissa Fay Greene When the award-winning nonfiction author Melissa Fay Greene confided to a friend that she planned to adopt a four-year-old boy from Bulgaria to add to her four children at home, the friend snapped: “Who made you the Old ISBN: 978-0-374-53338-0 / 368 pages Woman Who Lives in a Shoe?” Three years later, as Me- lissa and her husband, Don Samuel, prepared to adopt a five-year-old girl from Ethiopia, she sensed that her friends now regarded her as “one of the greats: the Kennedys, the McCaughey septuplets, the von Trapp family singers, and perhaps even Mrs. Fe- odor Vassilyev, who, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, gave birth to sixty-nine children in eighteenth-century Russia.” When the number of children hit nine, Melissa took a break from reporting and trained her journalist’s eye upon events at home. Fisseha was riding a bike down the stairs; a squirrel was sitting on Jesse’s head; vulgar posters were going up on bedroom walls; the insult “niftam” (Amharic for “snot”) had led to fistfights; and four non-native-English-speaking teenage boys were researching, on Mom’s computer, the subject of “saxing.” “At first I thought one of our trombone players was considering a change of instrument,” writes Melissa. “Then I remembered: they can’t spell.” Using the tools of her trade, she uncovered the true subject of the “saxing” investigation, inspiring the chapter “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex, but Couldn’t Spell.” A celebration of parenthood, a relishing of moments hilarious and poignant, and a treasury of hard-won wisdom, No Biking in the House Without a Helmet is a loving portrait of a unique twenty- first-century family as it wobbles between disaster and joy.

  • Praying for Sheetrock
    Praying for Sheetrock A Work of Nonfiction Melissa Fay Greene For Discussion 1. Tom Poppell is an emblem of the tradition of American popular folk hero-villain. Residents said, “If you weren’t careful, he’d be your best friend.” (p. 5) What was it like to live under such a system? Have any of us experienced—in community, work, or family spheres—the benevolent dictatorship of a rogue? 2. Praying for Sheetrock charts the human tendency to confuse ideals with those who espouse them. The McIntosh County African American community suffers the fall of its flag-bearer.What impact did this have on the movement toward social change? Who will pick up the banner? Have we experienced this in our lives: a paragon of virtue or idealism, a political or religious standard- bearer, is revealed to be less than saintly? How might we maintain our focus on our ideals after the collapse of the leader? 3. Greene notes that “the Direct Descendants and their fellow white citizens . do not honor slavery or mourn its passing. They honor the time before slavery . They wish the question had never come up.” (p. 19) If the modern heirs—black and white—to the four centuries of the Atlantic slave trade could rewrite history, writing slavery out of it, what might race relations look like today in America? How might America’s relationship to Africa, and the relationship between whites and African Americans, be different? 4. In what ways might the “humility and submission” drilled into Deacon Thorpe, Deacon Curry, and other African American citizens have “promoted survival but undermined good judgment”? (p.
