Product Description

"Book: An American Daughters Story is a collection of linked stories written chronologically from 19802015. They create a multifaceted narrative of how the public and the private, the past and present, the local and global, intersect. With earnest reflection, modesty and humor, Laurel Richardson introduces the reader to her Ohio neighborhoods, friends, family, writers and therapy dogs. She ages, retires and frets over her droopy eyebrow. Her towns local stores close; police bust heroin dealers; September 11th happens; universities corporatize; poetry venues transform. All this and much more as Richardson honors the complexity and vibrancy of America, and her life within it. Richardsons renowned book, Fields of Play (1997) is about constructing a life inside the academy; Seven Minutes from Home is about constructing a life outside the academy. This extraordinary example of literary sociology can be read for pleasure, adopted in book clubs, or used in courses in American Studies, communication, creative writing, narrative, qualitative research, sociology, cultural studies and womens studies. An appendix offers discussion questions, research projects and creative writing exercises. A tour de force, the penultimate statement from gifted writer Laurel Richardson. Here an American daughters story comes home. Norman Denzin, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign The stories are riveting; you will not be able to stop reading. Carolyn Ellis, University of South Florida An exemplar for how good social science should be written. Jessica Smartt Gullion, Texas Womans University A love letter to a culture and a life well-lived. Anne Harris, Monash University Highly recommended for courses in sociology, womens studies and creative writing. Mary Margaret Fonow, Arizona State University Laurel Richardson, Professor Emeritus at The Ohio State University, has received a Life-Time Achievement Award in Qualitative Research, a Cooley Book Award, and two Affirmative-Action awards. She writes daily. She is most proud of her therapy dogs work with special-needs children. ".
