Download or read book Planetary Hinterlands written by Pamila Gupta and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-11 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book considers the concept of the hinterland as a crucial tool for understanding the global and planetary present as a time defined by the lasting legacies of colonialism, increasing labor precarity under late capitalist regimes, and looming climate disasters. Traditionally seen to serve a (colonial) port or market town, the hinterland here becomes a lens to attend to the times and spaces shaped and experienced across the received categories of the urban, rural, wilderness or nature. In straddling these categories, the concept of the hinterland foregrounds the human and more-than-human lively processes and forms of care that go on even in sites defined by capitalist extraction and political abandonment. Bringing together scholars from the humanities and social sciences, the book rethinks hinterland materialities, affectivities, and ecologies across places and cultural imaginations, Global North and South, urban and rural, and land and water.

Download or read book Up South in the Ozarks written by Brooks Blevins and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ozarks is a place that defies easy categorization. Sprawling across much of Missouri and Arkansas and smaller parts of Oklahoma and Kansas, it is caught on the margins of America’s larger cultural regions: part southern, part midwestern, and maybe even a little bit western. For generations Ozarkers have been more likely than most other Americans to live near or below the poverty line—a situation that has often subjected them to unflattering stereotypes. In short, the Ozarks has been a marginal place populated by marginalized people. Historian Brooks Blevins has spent his life studying and writing about the people of his native regions—the South and the Ozarks. He has been in the vanguard of a new and vibrant Ozarks Studies movement that has worked to refract the stories of Ozarkers through a more realistic and less exotic lens. In Up South in the Ozarks: Dispatches from the Margins, Blevins introduces us with humor and fairness to mostly unseen lives of the past and present: southern gospel singing schools and ballad collectors, migratory cotton pickers and backroad country storekeepers, fireworks peddlers and impoverished diarists. Part historical and part journalistic, Blevins’s essays combine the scholarly sensibilities of a respected historian with the insights of someone raised in rural hill country. His stories of marginalized characters often defy stereotype. They entertain as much as they educate. And most of them originate in the same place Blevins does: up south in the Ozarks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the world wars, America embraced an image of the Ozarks as a remote land of hills and hollers. The popular imagination stereotyped Ozarkers as ridge runners, hillbillies, and pioneers—a cast of colorful throwbacks hostile to change. But the real Ozarks reflected a more complex reality. Brooks Blevins tells the cultural history of the Ozarks as a regional variation of an American story. As he shows, the experiences of the Ozarkers have not diverged from the currents of mainstream life as sharply or consistently as the mythmakers would have it. If much of the region seemed to trail behind by a generation, the time lag was rooted more in poverty and geographic barriers than a conscious rejection of the modern world and its progressive spirit. In fact, the minority who clung to the old days seemed exotic largely because their anachronistic ways clashed against the backdrop of the evolving region around them. Blevins explores how these people’s disproportionate influence affected the creation of the idea of the Ozarks, and reveals the truer idea that exists at the intersection of myth and reality. The conclusion to the acclaimed trilogy, The History of the Ozarks, Volume 3: The Ozarkers offers an authoritative appraisal of the modern Ozarks and its people.

Book excerpt: As if by magic, miracles abound at Magnolia Gardens, with its Dragonfly Pond, a place which in ancient times was known as A Homeland Dell. Yet, can two cousins and their ancestor by the same name, an ancient queen, unite, to make a difference in the world? Can they save lives, while solving Blue Slough mysteries? Will Queen Rachael Adele find her missing father, love, and save the pirates? The three superhero Rachaels miraculously join forces, from an ancient era to a modern one, to help fight hunger, lack of jobs, and save Ancient Orchard. Fortunately, when well-preserved parchments and archaeological treasures are found in Magnolia Manor, revealing ancient ancestry and secrets, we discover the two cousins and queen encouraged their hard-working family and friends with art, artifacts, food, music, reading, writing, social gatherings, and theater. The modern day cousins inspire others to join their fundraising efforts for smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and radon monitoring kits, to save lives within Velvet Villa Village, by joining their Team Evergreen, first suggested by Queen Rachael to her clan and villagers centuries ago, and inspire The Grand Group Singers, in a place where laughter, learning, and love prevail, while pond ghost mysteries are solved, in seasons of surprises with miracles and memories to treasure at A Homeland Dell.

This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary collection explores the diverse relationships between the frequently ignored and inherently ambiguous hinterlands and their manifestations in literature and culture. Moving away from perspectives that emphasize the marginality of hinterlands and present them as devoid of agency and “cultural currency”, this collection assembles a series of original essays using various modes of engagement to reconceptualize hinterlands and highlight their semiotic complexity. Apart from providing a reassessment of hinterlands in terms of their geocultural significance, this book also explores hinterlands through such concepts as nostalgia, heterotopia, identity formation, habitation, and cognitive mapping, with reference to a wide geographical field. Literary and filmic revisions of familiar hinterlands, such as the Australian outback, Alberta prairie, and Arizona desert, are juxtaposed in this volume with representations of such little-known European hinterlands as Lower Silesia and Ukraine, and the complicated political dimension of First World War internment camps is investigated with regard to Kapuskasing (Ontario). Rural China and the Sussex Downs are examined here as writers’ retreats. Inner-city hinterlands in Haiti, India, Morocco, and urban New Jersey take on new meaning when contrasted with the vast hinterlands of megacities like Johannesburg and Los Angeles. The spectrum of diverse approaches to hinterlands helps to reinforce their multilayered and multivocal nature as spaces that defy clear categorization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In ancient times, a young Evergreen queen was faced with the impending Battle at Black Woods. Someone snatches the onyx-and-gold-rose honor about to be bestowed unto her. The Key Kell is missing. Some subjects suffer from a cold spell, and her uncle is injured. Her knight—the love of her life—disappears in a harsh storm just after a friendly neighbor is hurt in a hollow in the Daisy Meadow mist. Can the livestock be saved? Will the flowers arrive at the Kitty Lane Perfumery or will they be blown across the meadows? Will Rachael’s love safely return? Will she survive after being stricken? With charm, wise decisions, and a loyal following of the subjects of the Evergreen kingdom, Queen Rachael Adele will face these challenges without losing hope. She is a courageous ruler whose choices and tidings bring about changes to save her country and people, bringing happiness for everyone. In modern times, the queen’s descendants, the Rachael cousins, play important roles within their community where their royal ancestor once ruled and among their friends when some are injured in an accident or are in need of places to practice their singing and acting skills to further their careers and livelihood. The Rachaels and the mayor also wish to further address environmental issues within their community and celebrate others to make their village greener and more livable, and they reward friends for doing so with an ancient traditional surprise mentioned in the queen’s journal. A landslide causes peril, yet the discovery of ancient writings on family property thrills all in surprising ways. Can they once again host the Summer Solstice Cotillion fundraiser for the hungry while trying to solve the Key Kell mystery at Dragonfly Pond?

Book excerpt: “There are many norths in this North.” – Louis-Edmond Hamelin, 1975 Many Norths: Spatial Practice in a Polar Territory charts the unique spatial realities of Canada’s Arctic region, an immense territory populated with small, dispersed communities. The region has undergone dramatic transformations in the name of sovereignty, aboriginal affairs management, resources, and trade, among others. For most of the Arctic’s modern history, architecture, infrastructure, and settlements have been the tools of colonialism. Today, tradition and modernity are intertwined. Northerners have demonstrated remarkable adaptation and resilience as powerful climatic, social, and economic pressures collide. This unprecedented book documents—through the themes of urbanism, architecture, mobility, monitoring, and resources—the multiplicity of norths that appear and the spatial practices employed to negotiate it. Using innovative drawings, maps, timelines, as well as essays and interviews, Many Norths reveals a distinct northern vernacular.

Download or read book Contours of a People written by Nicole St-Onge and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-12-18 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be Metis? How do the Metis understand their world, and how do family, community, and location shape their consciousness? Such questions inform this collection of essays on the northwestern North American people of mixed European and Native ancestry who emerged in the seventeenth century as a distinct culture. Volume editors Nicole St-Onge, Carolyn Podruchny, and Brenda Macdougall go beyond the concern with race and ethnicity that takes center stage in most discussions of Metis culture to offer new ways of thinking about Metis identity. Geography, mobility, and family have always defined Metis culture and society. The Metis world spanned the better part of a continent, and a major theme of Contours of a People is the Metis conception of geography—not only how Metis people used their environments but how they gave meaning to place and developed connections to multiple landscapes. Their geographic familiarity, physical and social mobility, and maintenance of family ties across time and space appear to have evolved in connection with the fur trade and other commercial endeavors. These efforts, and the cultural practices that emerged from them, have contributed to a sense of community and the nationalist sentiment felt by many Metis today. Writing about a wide geographic area, the contributors consider issues ranging from Metis rights under Canadian law and how the Library of Congress categorizes Metis scholarship to the role of women in maintaining economic and social networks. The authors’ emphasis on geography and its power in shaping identity will influence and enlighten Canadian and American scholars across a variety of disciplines.
