[11] Chapter 16 Review Syndicate: Kin

Welcome to the tenth Throwback Thursday post highlighting my past reviews for Chapter 16‘s website. I love whenever I get the opportunity to read nonfiction work from southern writers, and this time I got to read Shawna Kay Rodenberg’s memoir Kin. Cover of Kin by Shawna Kay Rodenberg What I loved most about Rodenberg’s book is how she does not feature her experience like most memoirists.…

"...if you find yourself talking to an American Christian, chances are they have been reared in the fear of making a wrong move, of choosing the wrong side, and believe that doing so could have nightmarish results in this life and the next. Chances are that fear is so deeply ingrained that it no longer registers as fear. Fear is simply the lens through which they view the world."

Shawna Kay Rodenberg, "I grew up in an off-the-grid Christian commune. Here's what I know about America's religious beliefs" (Salon)

Really pleased to get to attend Maurice Manning’s recent reading at East Tennessee State University. He read numerous poems and accompanied them with some picking and song. Lots of laughter and humor mixed with startling powerful lines in each work. ETSU and puts on a great event which Manning was the keynote, but also excellent presentations from Cody Smith, Valerie Vogrin, Amy Wright, and Shawna Kay Rodenberg, with additional readings by Lacy Snapp and Thomas Alan Holmes. #mauricemanning #amywright #codysmith #lacysnapp #valerievogrin #etsu #jessegraves #rarebooks #firstedition #bookcollection #bookcollecting #bookcollection #bibliophile #bookporn #bookhunting #bookstagram #modernfirsts #modernfirsteditions #finebooks #signedbooks #shelfie #southernliterature #southernlit #tennessee #appalachianlit #appalachianliterature #kentucky #northcarolina #virginia #westvirginia #appalachianpoetry (at East Tennessee State University) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcY2hdcr_IB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Generational Myth: Young people are not as pro-life as their parents

Political rhetoric often gives the impression that Americans’ views on abortion may be neatly categorized along ideological, generation, and gender lines. However, this ethereal narrative blurs and even obscures the on-the-ground reality: Americans’ views on abortion are far more complex than our prevailing political narratives are usually willing to admit. 

A Salon article entitled “How to Argue with Your Relatives About Abortion: A Few Arguments that Won’t Work with Pro-Lifers and Some that Might” by Shawna Kay Rodenberg (introduced in the first post of this series) gives advice on how to successfully argue with your Aunt Cheryl about abortion over the family dinner table. Ms. Rodenberg ascribes to the myth that millennials are overwhelmingly pro-choice. This generational argument is a common abortion myth, one that is called into serious question when we take a closer look at polling data. In fact, we find a much more complex picture, one that reveals that the generation gap may actually run in the other direction, that is, Aunt Cheryl is more likely to be pro-choice than her millennial niece…
