The Solidarity of Kin
Arguing that Native Americans' religious life and history have been misinterpreted, author Kenneth M. Morrison reconstructs the Eastern Algonkians' world views and demonstrates the indigenous modes of rationality that shaped not only their encounter with the French but also their self-directed process of religious change. In reassessing controversial anthropological, historical, and ethnohistorical scholarship, Morrison develops interpretive strategies that are more responsive to the religious world views of the Eastern Algonkian peoples. He concludes that the Eastern Algonkians did not convert to Catholicism, but rather applied traditional knowledge and values to achieve a pragmatic and critical sense of Christianity and to preserve and extend kinship solidarity into the future. The result was a remarkable intersection of Eastern Algonkian and missionary cosmologies.
Passion of Kin
Dive into a whirlpool of family secrets, vengeance, and dark pasts in this stirring narrative that commences amidst the 1949 North Carolina cotton mill strike, marking the onset of unionization and a cauldron of violence. As two young adults inherit the turbulent legacy of their kin, a storm of revelations threatens to shatter the fragile bonds holding their family together. Unveiling secrets could be a path to healing or the trigger for further discord and bloodshed.

The Ginns and Their Kin
Chiefly the descendants of Jeptha Ginn and Penina Magee Ginn who were married in about 1787. Penina's parents, Jacob and Mary Scott Magee, were early settlers of Marion county, Mississippi. The 1800 census lists Jeptha Ginn as a head of household in Lancaster, South Carolina. By 1804 he was living in Washington county, Mississippi Territory and then on to Amite county, Mississippi Territory by 1810. The family is later listed in the 1816 census for Pike county, Mississippi. Descendants lived in Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama, Oklahoma, Arkansas and elsewhere.
Strangers and Kin
Strangers and Kin is the history of adoption. An adoptive mother herself, Barbara Melosh tells the story of how married couples without children sought to care for and nurture other people's children as their own. Taking this history into the early twenty-first century, Melosh offers unflinching insight to the contemporary debates that swirl around adoption: the challenges to adoption secrecy; the ethics and geopolitics of international adoption; and the conflicts over transracial adoption.
Mother, Creature, Kin
Luminous nonfiction about the natural world from essayist Chelsea Steinauer-Scudder, who asks: what can other-than-human creatures teach us about mothering, belonging, caregiving, loss, and resiliency? What does it mean to be a mother in an era of climate catastrophe? And what can we learn from the plants and creatures who mother at the edges of their world's unraveling? Becoming a mother in this time means bringing life into a world that appears to be coming undone. Drawing upon ecology, mythology, and her own experiences as a new mother, Steinauer-Scudder confronts what it means to "mother": to do the good work of being in service to the living world. What if we could all mother the places...
