Remembering Ahanagran: A History of Stories

Richard White

ISBN: 9780809080724
Publisher: Hill & Wang Pub
Publication Date: 1999
Binding: Softcover

Sara Walsh was born in a land of storytellers in 1919, in Ahanagran, in the west of Ireland. She has made her life out of the stories she told her children, from her early years in Ireland to her migration to the United States and her struggle to become an American. Sara's memories, as recaptured in this unusual book by her son, are neither history nor memoir but something larger and brighter than both. Remembering Ahanagran is much more than a fascinating tale of one woman and her family; it is a passionate story that expresses the dignity and excitement of ordinary lives.

Remembering Ahanagran: Storytelling in a Family's Past

Richard White

ISBN: 9780809080717
Publisher: Hill & Wang Pub
Publication Date: 1998
Binding: Hardcover

Sara Walsh was born in a land of storytellers in 1919, in Ahanagran, in the west of Ireland. She has made her life out of the stones that she told her children, stories of her early years in Ireland, her migration to America when she was sixteen, her life in Chicago when she struggled to become American, and her marriage during World War II to Harry White, the son of Russian Jewish immigrants, a graduate of Harvard, and an officer in the United States Army. Sara's memories, as recaptured in this unusual book by her son, Richard White, are neither history nor memoir but something larger and brighter than both. White brilliantly succeeds, in collaboration with his mother, in forcing history as it is traditionally written back into conversation with personal recollections. Together, they paint a more balanced picture of Sara Walsh's past though Remembering Ahanagran is much more than a fascinating tale of one woman and her family it is a passionate story that expresses the dignity and excitement of ordinary lives.

The Oxford Book of Australian Travel Writing

Richard White; David Walker

ISBN: 9780195536409
Publisher: Oxford Univ Pr
Publication Date: 1997
Binding: Hardcover

Travel abroad is a central ritual of Australian life. Those who could afford it before the age of mass travel might have been few, but the idea of travel, its fantasies of escape and renewal, has no budget. Being there confers a special right to speak of other worlds, but meanings shift and change with time and between travelers, just as favoured destinations are carried in and out on the tides of fashion. In travel and travel writing we map how we imagine the world and our place in it.

The Organic Machine: The Remaking of the Columbia River

Richard White

ISBN: 9780809015832
Publisher: Hill & Wang Pub
Publication Date: 1996
Binding: Softcover

In The Organic Machine, Richard White, a distinguished historian and leading scholar of the American West, explores the intimate relationship between nature and mankind along the Columbia River. Working on the cutting edge of environmental and social history, White demonstrates how, over the centuries, both native peoples and settlers have continually remade the river, treating it as a machine designed to churn out energy and sustenance. He assesses the impact on the Northwest ecology of enterprises that have marked the river's history, from salmon fishing to the Hanford Energy Works nuclear plant, and eloquently reveals the insights and illusions of those who work with the river.
