Book excerpt: Excerpt from James Calvert: Or, From Dark to Dawn in Fiji Fiji, once so far removed from Great Britain, not only by distance, but also by the vicious character of its inhabitants, who thought it policy to kill and eat any foreigner who might land on their shores, has now become a British colony. The civilisation of the nation without Christianity could never have been attained, but when the heart was changed the life and customs of these benighted people became changed also. After Christianity had made it possible for white traders to settle upon the Fijian Islands, much trouble and bloodshed were caused by the wars they fostered. As Thakombau expressed it, "The whites who have come to Fiji are a bad lot. They are mere stalkers on the beach. The wars here have been far more the result of interference of intruders than the fault of the inhabitants. Of one thing I am assured, that if we do not cede Fiji, the white stalkers on the beach, the cormorants, will open their maws and swallow us.

Book Synopsis Capitalism, The American Empire, and Neoliberal Globalization by : Kenneth E. Bauzon
Download or read book Capitalism, The American Empire, and Neoliberal Globalization written by Kenneth E. Bauzon and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-11 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at facets in the history of capitalism from the Enlightenment period, through the emergence of the American Empire in the Pacific, and to the contemporary era of neoliberal globalization. This re-telling of history is done by drawing from the works of E. San Juan, Jr. (henceforth, San Juan), considered arguably one of the great contemporary cultural and literary critics of our time. In this author's view, San Juan's lifetime of works offer a living documentation of, among others, the history and thought of the modern world highlighted by the rise of capitalism through the contemporary era of neoliberal globalization, and shepherded to its hegemonic status by what stands today as the preeminent empire of the United States. The book underscores the symbiosis between contemporary capitalism as an economic system based on accumulation on the one hand, and the American imperial state on the other, just as it revisits the colonial project that was carried out in capitalism's wake, the violence and subjugation inflicted on its victims, and how this colonial project has morphed into a new form of colonialism (or neocolonialism) maintained and enforced through the rules and institutional mechanisms of what is popularly known as neoliberal globalization that also provides the ideological and legal rationale for the commodification and the ultimate grab of the global commons reminiscent of the classical, albeit cruder, form of colonialism.

Book Synopsis Inked: Tattoos and Body Art around the World [2 volumes] by : Margo DeMello
Download or read book Inked: Tattoos and Body Art around the World [2 volumes] written by Margo DeMello and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-05-30 with total page 870 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, tattoos have gone from being a subculture curiosity in Western culture to mainstream and commonplace. This two-volume set provides broad coverage of tattooing and body art in the United States today as well as around the world and throughout human history. In the 1960s, tattooing was illegal in many parts of the United States. Today, tattooing is fully ingrained in mainstream culture and is estimated to be a multi-billion-dollar industry. This exhaustive work contains approximately 400 entries on tattooing, providing historical information that enables readers to fully understand the methods employed, the meanings of, and the motivations behind tattooing—one of the most ancient ways humans mark themselves. The encyclopedia covers all important aspects of the topic of tattooing: the major types of tattooing, the cultural groups associated with tattooing, the regions of the world where tattooing has been performed, the origins of modern tattooing in prehistory, and the meaning of each society's use of tattoos. Major historical and contemporary figures associated with tattooing—including tattooists, tattooed people, and tattoo promoters—receive due attention for their contributions. The entries and sidebars also address the sociological movements involved with tattooing; the organizations; the media dedicated to tattooing, such as television shows, movies, magazines, websites, and books; and the popular conventions, carnivals, and fairs that have showcased tattooing.
