Download or read book Blood of Others written by Rory Finnin and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1944, Stalin deported the Crimean Tatars, a small Sunni Muslim nation, from their ancestral homeland on the Black Sea peninsula. The gravity of this event, which ultimately claimed the lives of tens of thousands of victims, was shrouded in secrecy after the Second World War. What broke the silence in Soviet Russia, Soviet Ukraine, and the Republic of Turkey were works of literature. These texts of poetry and prose – some passed hand-to-hand underground, others published to controversy – shocked the conscience of readers and sought to move them to action. Blood of Others presents these works as vivid evidence of literature’s power to lift our moral horizons. In bringing these remarkable texts to light and contextualizing them among Russian, Turkish, and Ukrainian representations of Crimea from 1783, Rory Finnin provides an innovative cultural history of the Black Sea region. He reveals how a "poetics of solidarity" promoted empathy and support for an oppressed people through complex provocations of guilt rather than shame. Forging new roads between Slavic studies and Middle Eastern studies, Blood of Others is a compelling and timely exploration of the ideas and identities coursing between Russia, Turkey, and Ukraine – three countries determining the fate of a volatile and geopolitically pivotal part of our world.

Book Synopsis Divided Sovereignties by : Rochelle Raineri Zuck
Download or read book Divided Sovereignties written by Rochelle Raineri Zuck and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In eighteenth- and nineteenth-century debates about the constructions of American nationhood and national citizenship, the frequently invoked concept of divided sovereignty signified the division of power between state and federal authorities and/or the possibility of one nation residing within the geopolitical boundaries of another. Political and social realities of the nineteenth century—such as immigration, slavery, westward expansion, Indigenous treaties, and financial panics—amplified anxieties about threats to national/state sovereignty. Rochelle Raineri Zuck argues that, in the decades between the ratification of the Constitution and the publication of Sutton Griggs’s novel Imperium in Imperio in 1899, four populations were most often referred to as racial and ethnic nations within the nation: the Cherokees, African Americans, Irish Americans, and Chinese immigrants. Writers and orators from these groups engaged the concept of divided sovereignty to assert alternative visions of sovereignty and collective allegiance (not just ethnic or racial identity), to gain political traction, and to complicate existing formations of nationhood and citizenship. Their stories intersected with issues that dominated nineteenth-century public argument and contributed to the Civil War. In five chapters focused on these groups, Zuck reveals how constructions of sovereignty shed light on a host of concerns including regional and sectional tensions; territorial expansion and jurisdiction; economic uncertainty; racial, ethnic, and religious differences; international relations; immigration; and arguments about personhood, citizenship, and nationhood.

Book excerpt: Many of us have had dj vu experiences during our lifetime, that inexplicable feeling that we have lived these moments before. I have had many moments like this while in the Yucatan and have read that several others have experienced the same feelings there. I have experienced these dj vu moments at Boca Paila, Quintana Roo. Certain events unfolded there that were extraordinary. I am convinced that there is an entity or spirit at the Boca that is very friendly to me. I was reading Forest of Kings (Schelle and Friedel) one day and when I read a passage that mentioned a vicious war between Chichen Itza and Coba. The hair on my neck stood up. Of course, I instinctively already knew this.

Book Synopsis Untangling a Red, White, and Black Heritage by : Darnella Davis
Download or read book Untangling a Red, White, and Black Heritage written by Darnella Davis and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the legacy of racial mixing in Indian Territory through the land and lives of two families, one of Cherokee Freedman descent and one of Muscogee Creek heritage, Darnella Davis’s memoir writes a new chapter in the history of racial mixing on the frontier. It is the only book-length account of the intersections between the three races in Indian Territory and Oklahoma written from the perspective of a tribal person and a freedman. The histories of these families, along with the starkly different federal policies that molded their destinies, offer a powerful corrective to the historical narrative. From the Allotment Period to the present, their claims of racial identity and land in Oklahoma reveal inequalities that still fester more than one hundred years later. Davis offers a provocative opportunity to unpack our current racial discourse and ask ourselves, “Who are ‘we’ really?”

Book excerpt: Suddenly, Miss Lu turned from an ugly girl to a great beauty. She had a bad temper and was ruthless in her actions. The moment she opened her mouth, she would retaliate at the cost of her life. Those noble young masters who said "even if I die, I won't give you a second glance" all expressed their opinions, one after the other. It was so fragrant! But the beauty was so beautiful that even if they wanted to, they wouldn't be able to think of a way to deal with her. Afterwards, the enchanter-like Prince Rong had personally taken care of her. The crowd asked for advice, "Beauty is trying to scam me, beat me up, and wish she could run away from me for a thousand miles. What should I do?" Prince Rong said, "Kiss her." ... .... The man who had almost frozen into an ice sculpture snatched her first kiss from him as soon as he opened his eyes. Lu Qingning was so angry that she almost exploded on the spot. She stripped him clean and sent her silver needles into the fray, determined to get back at him. But from then on, they were bound to have a bad fate. A few days later, the Great Uncle came looking for him, and the moment he opened his mouth, he said, "I'll marry you." Lu Qingning sucked in a breath of cold air, "Actually, I feel like you can send me a few pretty boys. Giving me some silver taels or something can help repay the debt of gratitude that you owe to me for saving my life." His Royal Uncle then said, "If you see this duke's body, you must take responsibility!" Lu Qingning: "... Royal Uncle, your style isn't right! What happened to the Flower of the High Mountains that was not too close to a woman? " Why the heck did he kiss her every day when he caught her?
