Book Synopsis Our Shared Heritage by : Myrna Plousha Heath
Download or read book Our Shared Heritage written by Myrna Plousha Heath and published by . This book was released on 2013-12-15 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Our Shared Heritage Myrna Plousha Heath provides a glimpse into the lives and times of the allied Wells, Plauche Clark and Dewson families during their three centuries in America. The history spans the time period between 1760 and 2008. The two books, a journal and a narrative in one volume, describe two unique heritages and their merger in San Francisco, California in the 1930s. The first book, Wellswood and Beyond, a journal, begins with the depiction of Native American pre-colonial life in the wilderness of what is now the state of Louisiana. It contrasts the exisitence of elitist Wells, Plauche and Clark planters with the enslaved on ante bellum Louisiana plantations of the 1800s. It reveals the intimacies of the slaveholders and the enslaved who created a mixed race Wells, Plauche and Clark family. The history focuses on the nine children of Elizabeth Evans and the progeny of her sister Margaret Clark. The chronicle documents the families' challenging multi state migration out of Louisiana from the early 1900s to the mid twentieth century. The final chapters present the personal accomplishments and memorable events in the lives of the nine siblings and their descendants The second book, Corporal Dewson's Family Circle, is an intriguing narative of diversity, abolitionism and the American Civil War. The history begins in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1805 and continues in Boston at the height of the abolitionist movement. It includes the best documented profile of black abolitionist, David Walker and his son Edwin G. Walker, Esq. The saga describes Corporal Dewson's life as a Union soldier in occupied New Orleans, Louisiana. It archives the fight to free the enslaved and the continuing struggle for equal justice for all Americans. The Narrative ends in Oakland, California in 1904.

A Place to Belong offers a path forward for families to honor their cultural heritage and champion diversity in the context of daily family life by: • Fostering open dialogue around discrimination, race, gender, disability, and class • Teaching “hard history” in an age-appropriate way • Curating a diverse selection of books and media choices in which children see themselves and people who are different • Celebrating cultural heritage through art, music, and poetry • Modeling activism and engaging in community service projects as a family Amber O’Neal Johnston, a homeschooling mother of four, shows parents of all backgrounds how to create a home environment where children feel secure in their own personhood and culture, enabling them to better understand and appreciate people who are racially and culturally different. A Place to Belong gives parents the tools to empower children to embrace their unique identities while feeling beautifully tethered to their global community.

Book Synopsis Our Heritage by : Tsenay Serequeberhan
Download or read book Our Heritage written by Tsenay Serequeberhan and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2000 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this compelling and engaging work, Tsenay Serequeberhan discusses recent attempts to define African philosophy and the practice of hermeneutics for articulating a philosophy that is distinctively African. Pressing into service insights derived from Marx, Nietzsche, Levinas, Fanon, and others, Serequeberhan analyzes the question of how we relate to our past (i.e., our heritage) and the open possibilities of our future. He carefully examines the variety of approaches to African philosophy and argues for a historically engaged and existentially attuned paradigm shift. The result is an approach that explores the contemporary situation of African and African-American existence in view of emancipatory struggles that have established the confines of the present.
Book Synopsis The Best We Share by : Christoph Brumann
Download or read book The Best We Share written by Christoph Brumann and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2021-03-03 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UNESCO World Heritage Convention is one of the most widely ratified international treaties, and a place on the World Heritage List is a widely coveted mark of distinction. Building on ethnographic fieldwork at Committee sessions, interviews and documentary study, the book links the change in operations of the World Heritage Committee with structural nation-centeredness, vulnerable procedures for evaluation, monitoring and decision-making, and loose heritage conceptions that have been inconsistently applied. As the most ambitious study of the World Heritage arena so far, this volume dissects the inner workings of a prominent global body, demonstrating the power of ethnography in the highly formalised and diplomatic context of a multilateral organisation.

Book Synopsis In Search of Deep Time by : Henry Gee
Download or read book In Search of Deep Time written by Henry Gee and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cladistics--the science of comparison--is transforming the way paleontologists view evolution. In Search of Deep Time strips away conventional assumptions about the evolution of life to reveal a world that may be far stranger and more humbling than had been previously imagined. The concept of deep time was first used by John McPhee to describe intervals of time incomprehensibly greater than our daily experience. Henry Gee explains the rise of cladistics as the best technique for making sense of the organic changes that unfold within deep time.
