Book Synopsis The Common Pot by : Lisa Tanya Brooks
Download or read book The Common Pot written by Lisa Tanya Brooks and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary critics frequently portray early Native American writers either as individuals caught between two worlds or as subjects who, even as they defied the colonial world, struggled to exist within it. In striking counterpoint to these analyses, Lisa Brooks demonstrates the ways in which Native leadersa including Samson Occom, Joseph Brant, Hendrick Aupaumut, and William Apessa adopted writing as a tool to reclaim rights and land in the Native networks of what is now the northeastern United States.

Book excerpt: This elegantly written and insightful book provides a geographical history of the Indian reserve in British Columbia. Cole Harris analyzes the impact of reserves on Native lives and livelihoods and considers how, in light of this, the Native land question might begin to be resolved. The account begins in the early nineteenth-century British Empire and then follows Native land policy – and Native resistance to it – in British Columbia from the Douglas treaties in the early 1850s to the formal transfer of reserves to the Dominion in 1938.

Book Synopsis Space-Time Colonialism by : Juliana Hu Pegues
Download or read book Space-Time Colonialism written by Juliana Hu Pegues and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the enduring "last frontier," Alaska proves an indispensable context for examining the form and function of American colonialism, particularly in the shift from western continental expansion to global empire. In this richly theorized work, Juliana Hu Pegues evaluates four key historical periods in U.S.-Alaskan history: the Alaskan purchase, the Gold Rush, the emergence of salmon canneries, and the World War II era. In each, Hu Pegues recognizes colonial and racial entanglements between Alaska Native peoples and Asian immigrants. In the midst of this complex interplay, the American colonial project advanced by differentially racializing and gendering Indigenous and Asian peoples, constructing Asian immigrants as "out of place" and Alaska Natives as "out of time." Counter to this space-time colonialism, Native and Asian peoples created alternate modes of meaning and belonging through their literature, photography, political organizing, and sociality. Offering an intersectional approach to U.S. empire, Indigenous dispossession, and labor exploitation, Space-Time Colonialism makes clear that Alaska is essential to understanding both U.S. imperial expansion and the machinations of settler colonialism.

Book Synopsis Making Space for Indigenous Feminism by : Joyce Green
Download or read book Making Space for Indigenous Feminism written by Joyce Green and published by . This book was released on 2017-10 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The 2007 first edition of this book proposed that Indigenous feminism was a valid and indeed essential theoretical and activist position, and introduced a roster of important Indigenous feminist contributors. The book has been well received nationally and internationally. It has been deployed in Indigenous Studies, Law, Political Science, and Women and Gender Studies in universities and appears on a number of doctoral comprehensive exam reading lists. The second edition, Making More Space, builds on the success of its predecessor, but is not merely a reiteration of it. Some chapters from the first edition are largely revised. A majority of the chapters are new, written for the second edition by important new scholars and activists. The second edition is more confident and less diffident about making the case for Indigenous feminism and in deploying a feminist analysis. The chapters cover issues that are relevant to some of the most important issues facing Indigenous people--violence against women, recovery of Indigenous self-determination, racism, misogyny, and decolonisation. Specifically, new chapters deal with Indigenous resurgence, feminism amongst the Sami and in Aboriginal Australia, neoliberal restructuring in Oaxaca, Canada's settler racism and sexism, and missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada."--.

Download or read book Gentlemen of Space written by Ira Sher and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnolia Court is not the most magical place in Florida, but to young Georgie Finch, this outsized housing project in the heart of the suburbs is the center of the universe. In this superbly crafted, imaginative, and intelligent novel, Georgie tells us the story of when his father, Jerry, won a competition in 1976 to become the first civilian man on the moon. He also tells us about his beautiful baby-sitter, who has a crush on Jerry; his Jackie O-like mother, Barbara, the long-suffering wife to an everyday genius; Jerry's high school friend Lyle Barnes, running for local office on his coattails; and the mysterious journalist Bob Nightly, who seems the only person determined to get to the bottom of who Jerry Finch really is. Once Jerry is shot into space, Magnolia Court turns into the worst sort of American media circus, replete with card tables, Winnebagos, cookouts, and telescopes. Georgie tentatively navigates this space, dodging the starstruck commoners who have come to worship at the astronauts' feet. When Jerry goes missing, the camp turns into a vigil, punctuated by potluck suppers and banners. Eventually the astronauts come back without Jerry and likewise descend on Magnolia Court -- in their spacesuits -- to show their respect. All the while Georgie gets phone calls from his father in space, but no one will believe him. Should we? Or is his entire story just that, a story? A feat of literary ventriloquism, Gentlemen of Space is surprising, captivating, and wholly original.
Book Synopsis The Black Shoals by : Tiffany Lethabo King
Download or read book The Black Shoals written by Tiffany Lethabo King and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-27 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Black Shoals Tiffany Lethabo King uses the shoal—an offshore geologic formation that is neither land nor sea—as metaphor, mode of critique, and methodology to theorize the encounter between Black studies and Native studies. King conceptualizes the shoal as a space where Black and Native literary traditions, politics, theory, critique, and art meet in productive, shifting, and contentious ways. These interactions, which often foreground Black and Native discourses of conquest and critiques of humanism, offer alternative insights into understanding how slavery, anti-Blackness, and Indigenous genocide structure white supremacy. Among texts and topics, King examines eighteenth-century British mappings of humanness, Nativeness, and Blackness; Black feminist depictions of Black and Native erotics; Black fungibility as a critique of discourses of labor exploitation; and Black art that rewrites conceptions of the human. In outlining the convergences and disjunctions between Black and Native thought and aesthetics, King identifies the potential to create new epistemologies, lines of critical inquiry, and creative practices.
Book Synopsis How to Contact the Space People by : Ted Owens
Download or read book How to Contact the Space People written by Ted Owens and published by Global Communications. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WAS HE THE VOICE OF 'DOOM' OR THE SOOTHSAYER OF THE SPACE GENERATION? NASA REPORTER OTTO BINDER ASKED THESE PERPLEXING QUESTIONS? Have We Been Sent-And Ignored-Messages From Spacemen? Do The Saucer Intelligences Control Our Weather, Our Civilizations, Our Very Lives With Their Incredible Advanced Science? Has One Man, TED OWENS, Really Been Selected To "Relay" Their Warnings And Predictions? DO WE HAVE IN OUR MIDST A 'SPOKESMAN' FOR THE UFOS? ================================================================ When the original edition of HOW TO CONTACT SPACE PEOPLE appeared in l969 courtesy of Gray Barker's Saucerian Press, hundreds reported "miracles" and supernatural experiences upon carrying or wearing one of the special "Space Intelligence" discs that were provided by Ted Owens . We are producing a similar disc based on the identical design and will include details how you can get one for yourself FREE OF CHARGE as a bonus when ordering this fabulous volume. Says one researcher who calls himself simply "Jinn" and believes the UFOs are extra dimensional: "Many people who investigated Ted Owens testified that he could predict and control lightning, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and volcanoes. He claimed he was in telepathic contact with other dimensional beings he called Space Intelligences who trained him since early childhood to communicate with them and co-create tremendous large scale psychokinetic effects. . . Ted Owens could be the greatest parapsychological finds in history. He performed about 200 "miracles" in association with the SI's. . . and considered himself to be the "Earth ambassador of UFO intelligences" and compared himself to Moses, whom he said also worked with the SI's." Some people thought Owens delusional; others believed something dramatic had happened in his life to cause these telekinetic events to occur around him regularly. Decide for yourself when you order HOW TO CONTACT THE SPACE PEOPLE and learn how at no additional cost you can receive your own energized purple SI disc, an authentic replica of the one Ted Owens claims he used to contact the space intelligence himself without interference.
Book Synopsis Creating Space by : Verna J. Kirkness
Download or read book Creating Space written by Verna J. Kirkness and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2013-09-27 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Verna J. Kirkness grew up on the Fisher River Indian reserve in Manitoba. Her childhood dream to be a teacher set her on a lifelong journey in education as a teacher, counsellor, consultant, and professor. Her simple quest to teach "in a Native way" revolutionized Canadian education policy and practice. Kirkness broke new ground at every turn. As the first cross-cultural consultant for the Manitoba Department of Education Curriculum Branch she made Cree and Ojibway the languages of instruction in several Manitoba schools. In the early 1970s she became the first Education Director for the Manitoba Indian Brotherhood (now the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs) and then Education Director for the National Indian Brotherhood (now the Assembly of First Nations). She played a pivotal role in developing the education sections of Wahbung: Our Tomorrows, which transformed Manitoba education, and the landmark 1972 national policy of Indian Control of Indian Education. These two major works have shaped First Nations education in Canada for more than 40 years. In the 1980s she became an assistant professor at the University of British Columbia where she was appointed Director of the Native Teacher Education Program, founded the Ts’‘Kel Graduate Program, and was a driving force behind the creation of the First Nations House of Learning. Honoured by community and country, Kirkness is a visionary who has inspired, and been inspired by, generations of students. Like a long conversation between friends, Creating Space reveals the challenges and misgivings, the burning questions, the successes and failures that have shaped the life of this extraordinary woman and the history of Aboriginal education in Canada.
Book Synopsis The People, Place, and Space Reader by : Jen Jack Gieseking
Download or read book The People, Place, and Space Reader written by Jen Jack Gieseking and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-16 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The People, Place, and Space Reader brings together the writings of scholars, designers, and activists from a variety of fields to make sense of the makings and meanings of the world we inhabit. They help us to understand the relationships between people and the environment at all scales, and to consider the active roles individuals, groups, and social structures play in creating the environments in which people live, work, and play. These readings highlight the ways in which space and place are produced through large- and small-scale social, political, and economic practices, and offer new ways to think about how people engage the environment in multiple and diverse ways. Providing an essential resource for students of urban studies, geography, sociology and many other areas, this book brings together important but, till now, widely dispersed writings across many inter-related disciplines. Introductions from the editors precede each section; introducing the texts, demonstrating their significance, and outlining the key issues surrounding the topic. A companion website, PeoplePlaceSpace.org, extends the work even further by providing an on-going series of additional reading lists that cover issues ranging from food security to foreclosure, psychiatric spaces to the environments of predator animals.
Download or read book Becoming Kin written by Patty Krawec and published by Broadleaf Books . This book was released on 2022-09-27 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We find our way forward by going back. The invented history of the Western world is crumbling fast, Anishinaabe writer Patty Krawec says, but we can still honor the bonds between us. Settlers dominated and divided, but Indigenous peoples won't just send them all "home." Weaving her own story with the story of her ancestors and with the broader themes of creation, replacement, and disappearance, Krawec helps readers see settler colonialism through the eyes of an Indigenous writer. Settler colonialism tried to force us into one particular way of living, but the old ways of kinship can help us imagine a different future. Krawec asks, What would it look like to remember that we are all related? How might we become better relatives to the land, to one another, and to Indigenous movements for solidarity? Braiding together historical, scientific, and cultural analysis, Indigenous ways of knowing, and the vivid threads of communal memory, Krawec crafts a stunning, forceful call to "unforget" our history. This remarkable sojourn through Native and settler history, myth, identity, and spirituality helps us retrace our steps and pick up what was lost along the way: chances to honor rather than violate treaties, to see the land as a relative rather than a resource, and to unravel the history we have been taught.
Book Synopsis Space and Society in Central Brazil by : Elizabeth Ewart
Download or read book Space and Society in Central Brazil written by Elizabeth Ewart and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed once as giants of the Amazon , Panará people emerged onto a world stage in the early 1970s. What followed is a remarkable story of socio-demographic collapse, loss of territory, and subsequent recovery. Reduced to just 79 survivors in 1976, Panará people have gone on to recover and reclaim a part of their original lands in an extraordinary process of cultural and social revival. Space and Society in Central Brazil is a unique ethnographic account, in which analytical approaches to social organisation are brought into dialogue with Panará social categories and values as told in their own terms. Exploring concepts such as space, material goods, and ideas about enemies, this book examines how social categories transform in time and reveals the ways in which Panará people themselves produce their identities in constant dialogue with the forms of alterity that surround them. Clearly and accessibly written, this book will appeal to students, scholars and anyone interested in the complex lives and histories of indigenous Amazonian societies.
