Re: literature on women "uplifting" and "mothering" mixed-race children in the history of imperialism and colonialism

Thank you so much, Cheryl, for generously sharing the information.
I would also appreciate it if you come up with the book title.

I'm looking for secondary sources of maternal imperialism for mixed-race children, especially someone's historiographical labor that compares, connects, and theorizes this phenomenon in different empires/colonies.

Re: literature on women "uplifting" and "mothering" mixed-race children in the history of imperialism and colonialism

You may want to look at missionary records and publications at the Presbyterian Historical Society in Philadelphia.Also Drew university for Methodist records. But first take a look at female missionary biographies. Female missionaries or wives often had a greater personal contact with their communities. There was a book I used in teaching in the early 1990s that looked at several women missionaries, unfortunately I can’t remember the title.

literature on women "uplifting" and "mothering" mixed-race children in the history of imperialism and colonialism

Dear fellow historians,

Hello. My name is Eri Kitada. I am a Doctoral Candidate at the Department of History, Rutgers University-New Brunswick.

I'm looking for works about women "uplifting" and "mothering" mixed-race children in the history of imperialism and colonialism -- women whom some scholars may frame as "maternal imperialists" or "imperial feminists."

Re: Farm labor comment in 1962

Thank you to those who replied. Turns out, it was indeed the National Farmers Organization.
I mentioned this puzzle to an older person in the church who grew up on a dairy farm in Minnesota. Without hesitation he said, "it was the National Farmers Organization. As a young boy I remember my dad sympathizing with the cause, but since they used physical intimidation and would do things like pour sand in milk trucks, my dad couldn't join in." A younger man who overheard our conversation remembered hearing similar stories from his grandfather in central Illinois.
Thanks again,

Read, Think, Organize

Dear H-Labor Readers

I am trying to find quotes for the mantra: "Read, Think, Organize."

I reacall something like..."If you don't read, you can't think....organize...." from IWW.

Anyone? Any phraseology on this?

 

Thanks
