Slavery, sugar, and the culture of refinement : picturing the British West Indies, 1700-1840 / by Kriz, Kay Dian,1945-author.(CARDINAL)855719; Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art,issuing body.(CARDINAL)146218; Yale University Press,publisher.(CARDINAL)332061;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 257-273) and index."This book asks new questions about paintings and prints associated with the British West Indies between 1700 and 1840, when the trade in sugar and slaves was the most active and profitable. In a wide-ranging study of scientific illustrations, scenes of daily life, caricatures, and landscape imagery, Dian Kriz analyses the visual culture of refinement that accompanied the brutal process in which African slaves transformed 'rude' sugar cane into pure white crystals. These works variously imagine Britain's Caribbean colonies as curious, frightening, deadly, pleasurable and even funny for viewers on both sides of the Atlantic."--Jacket

Includes bibliographical references (pages 305-316) and index.The anatomy of society / Henk van Nierop -- Smelling rank and status / Herman Roodenburg -- Ambition and apparel / Marieke de Winkel -- Laying the table / Sanny de Zoete -- Ownership of paintings in the Dutch Golden Age / Eric Jan Sluijter -- Stadholders and the court -- Nobles and aspiring nobles -- Regents and wealthy merchants / with Ian Kennedy -- Professions and trades / with Ian Kennedy -- Women at work -- Labor -- The indigent -- Where the classes meet -- Artists biographies / John Hawley."The Dutch Republic in the 17th century was home to one of the greatest flowerings of painting in the history of Western art. Freed from the constraints of royal and church patronage, artists created a rich outpouring of works that circulated through an open market to patrons and customers at every level of Dutch society. The closely observed details of daily life captured in portraits, genre scenes and landscapes offer a wealth of information about the possessions, activities and circumstances that distinguished members of the social classes, from the nobility to the urban poor. The dazzling array of paintings gathered here--by artists such as Frans Hals, Jan Steen, Pieter de Hooch and Gerard ter Borch, as well as Rembrandt and Vermeer--illuminated by essays from leading scholars, invites us to explore a vibrant early modern society and its reflection in a golden age of brilliant painting." -- Publisher's description

She come by it natural : Dolly Parton and the women who lived her songs / by Smarsh, Sarah,author.(CARDINAL)500533;
Explores how the music of Dolly Parton and other prominent women country artists has both reflected and validated the harsh realities of rural working-class American women. The National Book Award finalist and New York Times bestselling author of Heartland focuses her laser-sharp insights on a working-class icon and one of the most unifying figures in American culture: Dolly Parton.Growing up amid Kansas wheat fields and airplane factories, Sarah Smarsh witnessed firsthand the particular vulnerabilities--and strengths--of women in working poverty. Meanwhile, country songs by female artists played in the background, telling powerful stories about life, men, hard times, and surviving. In her family, she writes, "country music was foremost a language among women. It's how we talked to each other in a place where feelings aren't discussed." And no one provided that language better than Dolly Parton.Smarsh challenged a typically male vision of the rural working class with her first book, Heartland, starring the bold, hard-luck women who raised her. Now, in She Come By It Natural, originally published in a four-part series for The Journal of Roots Music, No Depression, Smarsh explores the overlooked contributions to social progress by such women--including those averse to the term "feminism"--as exemplified by Dolly Parton's life and art.Far beyond the recently resurrected "Jolene" or quintessential "9 to 5," Parton's songs for decades have validated women who go unheard: the poor woman, the pregnant teenager, the struggling mother disparaged as "trailer trash." Parton's broader career--from singing on the front porch of her family's cabin in the Great Smoky Mountains to achieving stardom in Nashville and Hollywood, from "girl singer" managed by powerful men to leader of a self-made business and philanthropy empire--offers a springboard to examining the intersections of gender, class, and culture.Infused with Smarsh's trademark insight, intelligence, and humanity, She Come By It Natural is a sympathetic tribute to the icon Dolly Parton and--call it whatever you like--the organic feminism she embodies.
