Book Synopsis Clan Destined Communities by : Benjamin Vincent Burgess
Download or read book Clan Destined Communities written by Benjamin Vincent Burgess and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the history of Ojibwe-United States political relationship clan identity has played an important underlying principle guiding the decision-making process for the Ojibwe. The assimilationist programs of United States policy demonstrated by the treaty-making process, allotment, boarding schools, and the Indian Reorganization Act 1934 have undermined the political influences of Ojibwe clans. This dissertation examines how Ojibwe authors in their fiction illuminate the importance of clan identity and the Ojibwe people's response to various attacks from the outside world. Two Ojibwe teachings provide the framework for analyzing these works of fiction. The first teaching comes from is called the "seven fires prophecy." This Ojibwe prophecy teaches that in the time of the seventh fire the Ojibwe people will begin to live once again in the manner of their ancestors of the first fire. The second teaching is inaendagwut or "it is permitted." This teaching reflects the core value of respect for personal autonomy among the Ojibwe. The application of these two cultural teachings does several things. First, it opens up a space for an Ojibwe specific analysis of the fiction. Second, it emphasizes the importance of decolonization in the relationship between the Ojibwe and the United States

Book Synopsis Community-based Heritage in Africa by : Peter R. Schmidt
Download or read book Community-based Heritage in Africa written by Peter R. Schmidt and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-03 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume boldly shifts focus away from top-down community engagements, usually instigated by elite academic and heritage institutions, to examine locally initiated projects. Schmidt explores how and why local research initiatives, which are often motivated by rapid culture change caused by globalization, arose among the Haya people of western Tanzania. This frank appraisal privileges local voices and focuses attention on the unique and important contributions that such projects can make to the preservation of regional history. Through a blend of personalized narrative and analytical examination, the book provides fresh insights into African archaeology and heritage studies.
Book Synopsis Harmony in Healing by : James Garber
Download or read book Harmony in Healing written by James Garber and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicine and astronomy are the oldest of all the sciences. They appear at first glance to be the original odd couple. Their union gave birth to a progeny that populated the Western world for more than two millennia. From an historical perspective, their marriage and mutual influence is undeniable. Cosmology and cosmogony, as natural philosophical aspects of astronomy, have gone hand in hand with the science of medicine from time immemorial. Indeed, medicine and the pseudoscience of astrology were for centuries inseparable.The ancients began the embryonic search for answers to questions that had puzzled humans for eons. No systematic approach to the nature of the universe was undertaken until the Sumerians, the Babylonians, and the Greeks began the quest for wisdom. The Greeks, beginning with Thales in the 6th century B.C.E., sought a unifying principle to explain the world as a whole. Because cosmology and medicine were among the few known sciences in ancient times, it was natural that these two apparently disparate disciplines should be combined to provide the theoretical basis of medicine--foundations that were to survive for nearly 2,400 years. This scientific structure rested firmly on the ancient principles of cosmology, astronomy, and the concept of universal harmony. This book tells the tale of these theoretical underpinnings and how they influenced humankind's efforts to maintain health and fight disease. Ultimately, the system was fundamentally flawed. Nonetheless, it lingered on for centuries beyond what common sense tells us it should have.Few comprehensive analyses of the relationship between cosmology and medicine have been undertaken in the astronomical or medical literature. For better or for worse, cosmological principles have had profound effects on the theory and practice of medicine over the centuries. It is time for historians, astronomers, physicians, and philosophers to acquaint themselves with the impact early cosmology has

Book Synopsis Violations of the Rules Applicable in Non-International Armed Conflicts and Their Possible Causes by : Omar Abdulle Alasow
Download or read book Violations of the Rules Applicable in Non-International Armed Conflicts and Their Possible Causes written by Omar Abdulle Alasow and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-05-17 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While all armed conflicts are marked by violations of international humanitarian law, non-international armed conflicts appear to be characterised by even more serious violations of international humanitarian law on a colossal scale. This study is aimed at understanding the possible factors that may cause parties to non-international armed conflicts to engage in violations despite the fact that not only international humanitarian law but also other bodies of rules (e.g. legal and moral) impose restrictions and obligations similar to international humanitarian law. Somalia, which for over two decaces has been experiencing internal armed conflicts marked by widespread violations, is a typical case.

Book Synopsis Film and Community in Britain and France by : Margaret Butler
Download or read book Film and Community in Britain and France written by Margaret Butler and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2004-08-27 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relations between France and Britain have always been uneasy and ambivelant. But in cinema, WWII changed all that for a time. Although the two countries' wartime fortunes differed, post-war both were busy reintegrating returning servicemen and prisoners of war, and accomodating the changed aspirations of women. Margaret Butler examines these subjects and more in her comparative study of the cinemas of Britain and France during and after the war. Using the concept of continuity, she shows how cinema dealt directly with ideas of belonging and alienation, inclusion and exclusion, unity and division. She also draws on contemporary debates and offers a perceptive reading of key films, to reveal the meaning and appeal of French classics like "Les Enfants du Paradis" and notable British productions like "Waterloo Road".
Book Synopsis Warriors Without War by : Patricia Riles Wickman
Download or read book Warriors Without War written by Patricia Riles Wickman and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2012-08-20 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warriors Without War takes readers beneath the placid waters of the Seminole’s public image and into the fascinating depths of Seminole society and politics. For the entire last quarter of the twentieth century, the Seminole Tribe of Florida, a federally recognized American Indian Tribe, struggled as it transitioned from a tiny group of warriors into one of the best-known tribes on the world’s economic stage through their gaming enterprises. Caught between a desperate desire for continued cultural survival and the mounting pressures of the non-Indian world—especially, the increasing requirements of the United States government— the Seminoles took a warriorlike approach to financial risk management. Their leader was the sometimes charming, sometimes crass and explosive, always warriorlike James Billie, who twice led the tribe in fights with the State of Florida that led all the way to the US Supreme Court. Patricia Riles Wickman, who lived and worked for fifteen years with the Seminole people, chronicles the near-meteoric rise of the tribe and its leader to the pinnacle of international fame, and Billie’s ultimate fall after twenty-four years in power. Based partly on her own personal experiences working with the Seminole Tribe of Florida, Wickman has produced an in-depth study of the rise of one of the largest Indian gaming operations in the United States that reads almost like a Capote nonfiction novel.
