Download or read book Sovereign Stories and Blood Memories written by Annette Angela Portillo and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Sovereign Stories, Annette Angela Portillo examines Native American women’s autobiographical discourses and multiple-voiced life stories that resist generic conventional notions of first-person narrative. She argues that these “sovereign stories” and “blood memories” not only reveal the multilayered histories and identities shared by each author, but demonstrate how their narratives are grounded in ancestral memory and land. These autobiographies recall settler-colonialism, deterritorialization, and genocide as the writers and activist-scholars reclaim their voices across cultural, national, and digital boundaries. Portillo provides close readings of memoirs, life stories, oral histories, blogs, social media sites, and experimental multigenre narratives including those by Delfina Cuero, Ruby Modesto, Leslie Marmon Silko, Pretty-Shield, Zitkala-Sa, and Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins.

Download or read book The Enlightened written by Linda Nera and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Source chose a slightly withdrawn but impeccably devoted ten-year old orphaned boy to carry on the fight against the evil rebel angel Ladimer and his league of dark creatures from the doomed planet of Askaran. With help from both holy citizens of the Perfect Place and the Earth Dominion, the young warrior with his assistant Modesto, anonymously goes through every encounter, each one becoming more challenging as his resolve to fulfill his destiny as the Enlightened is constantly tested. The story though steeped with obvious references to Biblical characters and settings derived from several local folklore, skillfully integrates the thrill of adventure with lessons from commonly held religious values. The result is an atypical spiritual journey that promises to inspire even the unreligious.
Book Synopsis Packing for Heaven by : Elizabeth Powell
Download or read book Packing for Heaven written by Elizabeth Powell and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-12-27 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My lofty goal in writing this book is that you, the reader, might be encouraged in your life's journey. Also that you might choose faith over fear.Jesus in Scripture leads the way in the book of Matthew, chapter 11, verses 28 through 30, which reads as follows:Come unto me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.I become so heavy hearted when I read the obituaries in the local newspapers that tell me about individuals, so young, dying. It makes me wonder why. To date, by the grace of God, I am eighty-eight years old.In John 11:25-26, Jesus says, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die." This gives me hope.I have chosen this salmon fishing photo to illustrate the surprise and joy and results at my first deep-sea fishing. The outcome of this fishing adventure, of course, was unknown before getting in the fishing boat and casting my line. I was advised, to avoid sea sickness, to keep my eyes on the horizon. Each participant was allowed to catch, as the limit, two fish. To my delight and surprise, I caught three big ones thus being able to give the third salmon away to a lady that had none.What is your horizon? What are your joys? What are your fears?
Book Synopsis Remember Who You Are! by : Maria C. Batino
Download or read book Remember Who You Are! written by Maria C. Batino and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-04-09 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All humans have secrets and so does God. God's secrets are hidden treasures that needed to be discovered, treasured, and shared. While human secrets are hidden trashes that had been paid and covered by the blood of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, on the cross once and for all! For God had promised us that, "Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool" (Isaiah 1:18). And he has already removed our sins as far as the east is from the west when he nailed them on the cross. He also promised us this, "I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins" (Hebrews 8:12). For we died to our old life and our real life is hidden with Christ in God! Once, we were dead to the power of sin in our lives, but now, we are alive to God through our resurrection life in Christ! So don't beat yourself up! God is not finished with you yet. He, who began a good work in you, will finish it to the end. For he is the Author and Finisher of your journey to faith, hope, love. Your story is not finished yet until his story becomes your story, and that is the greatest story about to unfold for his glory!

Book Synopsis Memory, History, Nation by : Susannah Radstone
Download or read book Memory, History, Nation written by Susannah Radstone and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last decade, a focus on memory in the human sciences has encouraged new approaches to the study of the past. As the humanities and social sciences have put into question their own claims to objectivity, authority, and universality, memory has appeared to offer a way of engaging with knowledge of the past as inevitably partial, subjective, and local. At the same time, memory and memorial practices have become sites of contestation, and the politics of memory are increasingly prominent. This inter-disciplinary volume demonstrates, from a range of perspectives, the complex cultural work and struggles over meaning that lie at the heart of what we call memory.The chapters in this volume offer a complex awareness of the workings of memory, and the ways in which different or changing histories may be explained. They explore the relation between individual and social memory, between real and imaginary, event and fantasy, history and myth. Contradictory accounts, or memories in direct contradiction to the historical record are not always the sign of a repressive authority attempting to cover something up. The tension between memory as a safeguard against attempts to silence dissenting voices, and memory's own implication in that silencing, runs throughout the book. Topics covered range from the Basque country to Cambodia, from Hungary to South Africa, from the Finnish Civil War to the cult Jim Jarmusch movie Dead Man, from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to Australia. Part I, ""Transforming Memory"" is concerned primarily with the social and personal transmission of memory across time and generations. Part II, ""Remembering Suffering: Trauma and History,"" brings the after-effects of catastrophe to the fore. Part III, ""Patterning the National Past,"" the relation between nation and memory is the central issue. Part IV, ""And Then Silence,"" reflects on the complex and multiple meaning of silence and oblivion, wherein amnesia is often used as a figure for the denial of shamefu

Book Synopsis Grunge: Music and Memory by : Catherine Strong
Download or read book Grunge: Music and Memory written by Catherine Strong and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grunge has been perceived as the music that defined 'Generation X'. Twenty years after the height of the movement there is still considerable interest in its rise and fall, and its main figures such as Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. As a form of 'retro' music it is even experiencing a resurgence, and Cobain remains an icon to many young music fans today. But what was grunge, and what has it become? This book explores how grunge has been remembered by the fans that grew up with it, and asks how memory is both formed by and forms popular culture. It looks at the relationship between media, memory and music fans and demonstrates how different groups can use and shape memory as part of an ongoing struggle for power in society. Grunge was the site of such a struggle, as popular music so often is, with the young people of the time asking questions about their place in the world and the way society is organized. This book examines what these questions were, and what has happened to them over time. It shows that although grunge challenged many social structures, the way it, and youth itself, are remembered often work to reinforce the status quo.
Book Synopsis Memory and Spatiality in Post-Millennial Spanish Narrative by : Lorraine Ryan
Download or read book Memory and Spatiality in Post-Millennial Spanish Narrative written by Lorraine Ryan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on literary texts produced from 2000 to 2009, Lorraine Ryan examines the imbrication between the preservation of Republican memory and the transformations of Spanish public space during the period from 1931 to 2005. Accordingly, Ryan analyzes the spatial empowerment and disempowerment of Republican memory and identity in Dulce Chacón’s Cielos de barro, Ángeles López’s Martina, la rosa número trece, Alberto Méndez’s ’Los girasoles ciegos,’ Carlos Ruiz Zafón ́s La sombra del viento, Emili Teixidor’s Pan negro, Bernardo Atxaga’s El hijo del acordeonista, and José María Merino’s La sima. The interrelationship between Republican subalternity and space is redefined by these writers as tense and constantly in flux, undermined by its inexorable relationality, which leads to subjects endeavoring to instill into space their own values. Subjects erode the hegemonic power of the public space by articulating in an often surreptitious form their sense of belonging to a prohibited Republican memory culture. In the democratic period, they seek a categorical reinstatement of same on the public terrain. Ryan also considers the motivation underlying this coterie of authors’ commitment to the issue of historical memory, an analysis which serves to amplify the ambits of existing scholarship that tends to ascribe it solely to postmemory.
Book Synopsis The Ghosts of Guerrilla Memory by : Matthew C. Hulbert
Download or read book The Ghosts of Guerrilla Memory written by Matthew C. Hulbert and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Civil War tends to be remembered as a vast sequence of battles, with a turning point at Gettysburg and a culmination at Appomattox. But in the guerrilla theater, the conflict was a vast sequence of home invasions, local traumas, and social degeneration that did not necessarily end in 1865. This book chronicles the history of "guerrilla memory," the collision of the Civil War memory "industry" with the somber realities of irregular warfare in the borderlands of Missouri and Kansas. In the first accounting of its kind, Matthew Christopher Hulbert's book analyzes the cultural politics behind how Americans have remembered, misremembered, and re-remembered guerrilla warfare in political rhetoric, historical scholarship, literature, and film and at reunions and on the stage. By probing how memories of the guerrilla war were intentionally designed, created, silenced, updated, and even destroyed, Hulbert ultimately reveals a continent-wide story in which Confederate bushwhackers-pariahs of the eastern struggle over slavery-were transformed into the vanguards of American imperialism in the West.
