Cavalier South vs Puritan North? Hypocrisy and Identity in the American Civil War

This article highlights the ways Southern ministers claimed the puritan identity for the South and accused the North of hypocrisy, for having fallen far from the theological ideals of their puritan forebears. Furthermore, Southern ministers noted the hypocrisy of Northern puritans for having escaped religious tyranny only to impose it upon those who did not conform to their form of Christianity; they had thus fallen into the very sin which they had decried.

The irony of the mannequin as “everywoman” is that the inanimate form doesn’t have much in common with real women at all. But for photographer Patty Carroll, that’s the point.

    ‘AM I LESS BRITISH?’ Racism, belonging, and the children of refugees and immigrants in North London by Doğuş Şimşek (2024)

    "Am I Less British?’ focuses on the children of refugees and immigrants in North London, whose parents migrated from Turkey.

    Providing a rich ethnography of the lives of the children, the book studies their sense of identity, belonging and their transnational experiences. It aims to understand how the children position themselves within a range of locations (London, North London and Turkey), where they face class hierarchy, racism and discrimination, and explores how they think about their sense of belonging within the contemporary political context in Britain and Turkey."
