The Home on Gorham Street and the Voices of Its Children
The Home on Gorham Street looks back to an earlier era of care
for orphaned and dependent children of Eastern European Jewish immigrants.
Within this social history and ethnography, the voices of elders once
wards of the home in the 1930s and 1940s tell us in sometimes poetic,
often comic, usually ironic, and always poignant words what it was really
like to grow up in an orphanage.

The Critical Double
Figurative Meaning in Aesthetic Discourse
Over 25 centuries ago, the Greek philosopher and sophist Protagoras equated his famous notion of “man ids the measure of all things” with another that declared “on every question there are two opposing answers, including this one.” The purpose of The Critical Double is to demonstrate that this second Protagorean notion constitutes one of the fundamental principles of aesthetic and rhetorical theory.

Opening Doors
Perspectives on Race Relations in Contemporary America
Opening Doors describes the progress that has been made in this country in the relationships between and among the races since Governor George Wallace's "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door." The volume also sheds new light on our understanding of prejudice and discrimination and serves to broaden our current perspectives on the traditions, values, attitudes, and behavior patterns that contribute to and reflect these negative components of race relations. At the same time, by recounting historical issues associated with prejudice, racism, and discrimination, by offering current analyses of these concepts, and by suggesting strategies for effecting appropriate and meaningful change, Opening Doors leads to a clear understanding of the nature and extent of progress yet to be realized before we are able to engage in harmonious race relations and enjoy the benefits of a more just society.
