Abstract

"Reaching Through Time: Finding My Family's Stories" by Shauna Bostock is a highly acclaimed book that aims to educate non-Aboriginal Australians about the historical injustices faced by Aboriginal Australians. Bostock, a Bundjalung historian, writes as an academically trained historian with a strong connection to her family and community. The book tells the compelling stories of her ancestors, connecting them to broader events in Australian history. It also serves as a guide for Indigenous Australians researching their own family histories and advocates for truth-telling and understanding between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians.

Abstract

Marrero uses the Le Pésant affair of 1706 as a turning point in this process and she notes that the colonial authorities' shifting attitudes reflected the growing sense of a new political agency in Detroit. Marrero sets herself the task of examining the evolving kinship networks as they developed over the course of Detroit's first century. Marrero really hits her stride in the next two chapters as she examines the role of women in the French-Indigenous family networks and at the center of the events comprising (what she calls) Pontiac's war.

Subjects
*FAMILIES
Abstract

"Poppy's Family Patterns" is a children's book written by Lauren Semmer. The story follows a mother and daughter, both depicted with brown skin, as they share stories about their loved ones. When Poppy accidentally tears her stuffed bunny's dress, her mom opens an old trunk filled with patterned scraps from old clothes. Each scrap represents a family member and their favorite activities. The book uses digital illustrations with a collage-style to create a paper-doll vibe and connects the present with the past. The book is recommended for children ages 4-8 and includes a pattern library and author's note. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

UCLA professor Stein (Plumes: Ostrich Feathers, Jews, and a Lost World of Global Commerce) delivers a fascinating history of the Levy family, Sephardic Jews with roots in the Ottoman city of Salonika (now Thessaloniki, Greece). A 1917 fire devastated Salonika's Jewish quarter and dispersed many of Sa'adi's descendants across Central and Western Europe, where "entire branches of the family tree" were destroyed in the Holocaust. Sa'adi's greatgrandson Vital, however, became a Nazi collaborator and "the only Jew tried in Europe as a war criminal.". [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

Interlacing children's and adults' experiences of their daily living environments in India and the UK with research and contemporary discourse on the environment, climate change and childhood, this book makes a valuable addition to geographies of children, young people and families. Researchers working with children, young people and families, those interested in unpicking climate change discourses, in environmental education and in conducting international research will value a relatively detailed insight into study methodology - more than can be afforded in a research paper. The authors make clear their censures of over-simplified portrayals of children as "our future" or as "the next generation" found within climate change policy, and we are reminded that, whilst these framings seem to take children seriously, powerful and complex generational practices set by parents and other adults are at play.
