Queries and Discussions
Childhood-Related Source Materials: Library Building Project
*apologies for cross-posting
Hello,
I am looking for primary source materials related to childhood studies in order to build a resource library for graduate students and instructors.
My name is Emily Slomski. I am a second year graduate student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln under the advisement of Dr. Will Thomas.
Master Thesis on 'The United States and Eurafrica Project' (1950-1960s)
Dear scholars,
As I'm currently just starting my master thesis on 'The United States and the Eurafrica Project' (1950-1960s), I'm looking for ideas about US perception of the project ( How was it documented in US publications for example ? Links/correspondences between African American intellectual and African intellectual). Thus, I was wondering if any of you would have useful recommendations for me. Thank you a lot and all the best,
Margaux Guigal
The Graduate Institute in Geneva.

Writing While White
Readers of H-Afro-Am may wish to know about Writing While White by Marianne Modica. The piece, the latest in H-Amstdy's series American Childhoods, looks at fiction written for young readers and the difficulties authors can experience in seeing past their own racial biases.

Good Morning Scholars!
I am looking for some books that can provide me with a historiography of education (freedman's schools, etc.) during Reconstruction and the Nadir - particularly the years 1889-1915. I am presenting at a conference and would love a broader knowledge of this period. Thank you in advance for your help on this matter - books/articles are greatly appreciated!
