The red earthenware industry in North Yarmouth, Maine was established in the 1790s, and for the next century, it flourished through a group of multigenerational family potteries. Many were located at Yarmouth Corner, which included production from at least five family businesses: Brooks, Cleaves, Corliss, Foster and Thomas.Much of this history had been forgotten due to 20th century development and a lack of published documentation. But thanks to historic preservation, archaeologists, museums and family records, the history of this industry has been reidentified. The industry in North Yarmouth was likely the largest red earthenware manufacturing center in the state, and connected to many well-known potters and red earthenwareindustries located elsewhere in New England. This book is the first of its kind to take an in-depth look at the various types of wares manufactured in North Yarmouth.

Vibrant original photographs shine a light on the freshness and originality of the food and the local spots from beaches to farm stands, while historical photographs and anecdotes from the Ladies' Village Improvement Society archives and local newspapers express the best of Hamptons eating.

AN EXTRAORDINARILY MOVING AND ORIGINAL MEMOIR OF GROWING UP GAY AND DISABLED IN 1980S LONDONWhen Emmett de Monterey is eighteen months old, a doctor diagnoses him with cerebral palsy. Words too heavy for his twenty-five-year-old artist parents and their happy, smiling baby.Growing up in south-east London in the 1980s, Emmett is spat at on the street and prayed over at church. At his mainstream school, teachers refuse to schedule his classes on the ground floor, and he loses a stone from the effort of getting up the stairs. At his sixth form college for disabled students, he's told he will be expelled if the rumours are true, if he's gay.And then Emmett is chosen for a first-of-its-kind surgery in America which he hopes will 'cure' him, enable him to walk unaided. He hopes for a miracle: to walk, to dance, to be able to leave the house when it rains. To have a body that's everyday beautiful, to hold hands in the street. To not be gay, which feels like another word for loneliness. But the 'miracle' doesn't occur, and Emmett must reckon with a world which views disabled people as invisible, unworthy of desire. He must fight to be seen.'Vivid, engaging... this insightful memoir sheds light on the author's life as a disabled gay man who is often rendered invisible' Andrew McMillan, Guardian Book of the Day'A frank and intimate memoir written with an incredible clear-eyed intensity' Claire Fuller

"Suffrage and its Limits offers a unique interdisciplinary overview of the legacy and limits of suffrage for the women of New York State. It commemorates the state suffrage centennial of 2017 yet arrives in time to contribute to celebrations around the national centennial of 2020. Bringing together scholars with a wide variety of research specialties, it initiates a timely dialogue that links an appreciation of past accomplishments to a clearer understanding of present problems and an agenda for future progress. The first three chapters, "Investigating the Past," are dedicated to the state suffrage movement, the 1917 victory, and what New York women did with the vote. The next three chapters, "Interrogating the Present," focus on the current status of women and politics in New York. The final three chapters, "Imagining the Future," take a prospective look at the limits of liberal feminism and its unfinished agenda for women's equality in New York. A preface by Lieutenant Governor Katherine Hochul and a final chapter by activist Barbara Smith bookend the discussion. Combining diverse approaches and analyses in a single volume the collection enables readers to make connections between history, political science, public policy, sociology, philosophy, and activism. This study moves beyond merely celebrating the centennial to tackle women's issues of today and tomorrow"--
