Pub Date: October 2022

Voices from the Heartland
Volume II
Price:
CA$33.95
ISBN: 9780806163222
Pub Date: August 2019

Just like its predecessor, Voices from the Heartland: Volume II offers memorable accounts of struggle and transformation. It does not sugarcoat the problems that women face in contemporary Oklahoma-and in many parts of underprivileged America: racism, sexism, homophobia, poverty, addiction.

Notes from a Wounded Place
Price:
CA$26.95
ISBN: 9780806157177
Pub Date: June 2017
Imprint: University of Oklahoma Press
In the wake of increasing gun violence and heightened national debate about race relations and social inequality, Askew's reflections could not be more relevant. With a novelist's gift for storytelling, she paints a compelling portrait of a place and its people: resilient and ruthless, decent but self-deceiving, generous yet filled with prejudice-both the best and the worst of what it means to be American.
Red Dirt Women
At Home on the Oklahoma Plains
Price:
CA$22.95
ISBN: 9780806143590
Pub Date: August 2013
Imprint: University of Oklahoma Press
For many people who have never spent time in the state, Oklahoma conjures up a series of stereotypes: rugged cowboys, tipi-dwelling American Indians, uneducated farmers. When women are pictured at all, they seem frozen in time: as the bonneted pioneer woman stoically enduring hardship or the bedraggled, gaunt-faced mother familiar from Dust Bowl photographs. In Red Dirt Women, Susan Kates challenges these one-dimensional characterizations by exploring?and celebrating?the lives of contemporary Oklahoma women whose experiences are anything but predictable.
Harpsong

Imprint: University of Oklahoma Press
Harlan Singer, a harmonica-playing troubadour, shows up in the Thompson family's yard one morning. He steals their hearts with his music, and their daughter with his charm. Soon he and his fourteen-year-old bride, Sharon, are on the road, two more hobos of the Great Depression, hitchhiking and hopping freights across the Great Plains in search of an old man and the settlement of Harlan's long-standing debt. In this moving, redemptive tale inspired by Oklahoma folk heroes, Rilla Askew continues her exploration of the American story. Harpsong is a novel of love and loss, of adventure and renewal, and of a wayfaring orphan's search for home-all set to the sounds of Harlan's harmonica.
