Mr. Burgoyne continues to add to our knowledge of the Germans' participation in the Revolutionary War. Although these auxiliary soldiers came from many different areas of Germany, they were generally lumped together under the term "Hessians." They fought as auxiliary soldiers on the side of the British and against the American colonists who were attempting to gain independence from the Mother Country. Four items are contained in this new collection. An anonymous diary that is believed to have been written by Paul Wilhelm Schefer, Auditor of the Hesse-Hanau Hereditary Prince Regiment. The Order Book of General von Gall, Colonel and Commandant of the Hesse-Hanau troops serving in Canada. The Order Book of the Hesse-Hanau (Hereditary Prince) Regiment. Rosters of the Hesse-Hanau Infantry Regiment and the Jaeger Corps prepared by Colonel Charles Rainsford, English Commissary Officer in Holland. Together these items provide additional views on the vagaries and difficulties of military life in a distant land in the eighteenth century, and identify hundreds of names of soldiers and officers. Mr. Burgoyne is a recipient of the Benjamin Franklin Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Revolution Roundtable of Philadelphia. 2003, 5½ x 8½, index, paper, 305 pp..

From the supplier: Lawyers representing clients on a contingency basis whose clients are about to file for bankruptcy relief must gain bankruptcy court approval to continue handling a case or they risk being not being paid. Contingent fee contracts are executory contracts which the bankruptcy trustee, subject to court approval, may either assume or reject. The trustee or debtor may hire the attorney based on a new contract, assume the original contract, reject the contract and hire another attorney or the original attorney may withdraw from the case for good cause.

I value Gypsy Academics and Mother-Teachers for the compassionate way in which Schell combines a feminist and materialist analysis of the historical and economic conditions that have led to the exploitation of adjunct faculty, the majority of whom are women.

- College English

Fully two-thirds of all part-time teachers in English studies are women, many with no permanent faculty standing, no benefits, no job security, and little or no chance for promotion. How does the "feminization" of writing programs affect the newly formed discipline of rhetoric and composition?

Gypsy Academics and Mother-Teachers illuminates the complex gendered ideologies that surround writing instruction--drawing on feminist theories of women's work, Marxist theories of class and labor, sociological and economic studies of part-time academic employment, and personal interviews with part-time women writing faculty. Eileen Schell contends that part-time faculty members' interests and contributions have been underrepresented in our research narratives and professional histories in rhetoric and composition. Her book attempts to revalue practitioner knowledge and to reclaim the voices and perspectives of part-time women writing instructors as a vital part of the history and growth of rhetoric and composition as a discipline.

Both a theoretical and practical study, Gypsy Academics and Mother-Teachers not only theorizes the structures of gender and labor in writing programs; it also offers administrators, theorists, and practitioners ideas for improving the working conditions and professional status of part-time writing instructors.
