Book Synopsis Proud Heritage [3 volumes] by : Chuck Stewart
Download or read book Proud Heritage [3 volumes] written by Chuck Stewart and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-12-16 with total page 1611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking three-volume reference traces the roots and development of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights and issues in the United States from the pre-colonial period to the present day. With the social, religious, and political stigmas attached to alternative lifestyles throughout history, most homosexuals, bisexuals, and transgender people lived covertly for much of, if not all of, their lives. Likewise, the narrative of our country excludes the contributions, struggles, and historical achievements of this group. This revealing, chronologically arranged reference work uncovers the rich story of the LGBT community in the United States and discusses the politics, culture, and issues affecting it since the early 17th century. Author Chuck Stewart traces the evolution of LGBT issues as part of our nation's shared cultural past and modern-day experience. Volume 1 focuses on the origins of the movement with the founding of Jamestown in 1607 through the 1970s and the beginning of gay rights activism in the United States. Volume 2 spans the 1980s and the AIDs pandemic through the present-day issues of marriage equality. Volume 3 gives a concise review of this society in each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
Book Synopsis Being Indian and Walking Proud by : Donald L. Fixico
Download or read book Being Indian and Walking Proud written by Donald L. Fixico and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-07-01 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the identity of American Indians from an Indigenous perspective and how outside influences throughout history, from the arrival of Columbus in 1492 to the twenty-first century, have affected Native people. Non-Native writers, boarding school teachers, movie directors, bureaucrats, churches, and television have all heavily impacted how Indians are viewed in the United States. Drawing on the life experiences of many American Indian men and women, this volume reveals how American Indian identity comprises multiple identities, including the noble savage, wild savage, Hollywood Indian, church-going Indian, rez Indian, urban Indian, Native woman, Indian activist, casino Indian, and tribal leader. Indigenous people, in their own voices, share their experiences of discrimination, being treated as outsiders in their own country, and the intersections of gender, culture, and politics in Indian-white relations. Yet the book also highlights the resilience of being Indian and the pride felt from being a member of a tribe(s), knowing your relatives, and feeling connected to the earth. Being Indian and Walking Proud is a compelling resource for any reader interested in Indigenous history, including students and scholars in Native American and Indigenous studies, anthropology, and American history.
Book Synopsis The Next American City by : Mick Cornett
Download or read book The Next American City written by Mick Cornett and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From four-term Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett, a hopeful and illuminating look at the dynamic and inventive urban centers that will lead the United States in coming years. Oklahoma City. Indianapolis. Charleston. Des Moines. What do these cities have in common? They are cities of modest size but outsized accomplishment, powered by a can-do spirit, valuing compromise over confrontation and progress over political victory. These are the cities leading America . . . and they're not waiting for Washington's help. As mayor of one of America's most improved cities, Cornett used a bold, creative, and personal approach to orchestrate his city's renaissance. Once regarded as a forgettable city in "flyover country," Oklahoma City has become one of our nation's most dynamic places-and it is not alone. In this book, Cornett translates his city's success-and the success of cities like his-into a vision for the future of our country. The Next American City is a story of civic engagement, inventive public policy, and smart urban design. It is a study of the changes re-shaping American urban life-and a blueprint for those to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Proud to be an Okie is a fresh, well-researched, wonderfully insightful, and imaginative book. Throughout, La Chapelle's keen attention to shifting geographies and urban and suburban spaces is one of the work's real strengths. Another strength is the book's focus on dress, ethnicity, and the manufacturing of style. When all of these angles and insights are pulled together, La Chapelle delivers a fascinating rendering of Okie life and American culture."--Bryant Simon, author of Boardwalk of Dreams: Atlantic City and the Fate of Urban America

Book Synopsis Proud to be Different by : Robert A. Fox
Download or read book Proud to be Different written by Robert A. Fox and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2014-01-23 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about ethnocentric niche charter schools. What are they? When did they first appear? From where did the term come? How do they differ from regular charter schools and from district-run traditional public schools? Each subject chapter was created by a team consisting of at least one educational researcher and at least one charter school practitioner. The goal is to make the book readable for everyone (policymakers, parents, teachers, older students) while providing a framework of rigor from which to view each charter school. Hence: the teams. The authors took special pains to create a book which exhibits the objectivity of the educational researcher while, at the same time, inviting the reader into each school by painting a human picture of its ethos. Each chapter contains a description of the school told by people who actually taught or learned or sent their children there.
Book Synopsis Proud Outcast by : W. Michael Farmer
Download or read book Proud Outcast written by W. Michael Farmer and published by Oghma Creative Media. This book was released on 2024-07-22 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defying betrayal and hardship, Chato fights to save his family and his people’s rightful place in the West. As the Apache Wars roar toward their conclusion in the summer of 1886, renowned Apache army scout and leader Chato joins a delegation of scouts to Washington, D.C., to meet President Grover Cleveland. Their mission? To plead their case for the Chiricahua scouts to remain at Fort Apache and cultivate their lands in peace. For his unwavering loyalty and service, Chato is awarded a silver medal from Cleveland, along with the implied promise that the scouts can stay where they are. However, after Geronimo’s surrender, Chato and his fellow scouts are instead transported to the harsh confines of Fort Marion, Florida, as prisoners of war. They, and the Chiricahua people as a whole, will be deprived of their freedom and their way of life for the next three decades. Finally freed in the wake of Geronimo’s death, the tribe returns to New Mexico to start over. But Geronimo’s longstanding assertion that Chato is a liar and traitor casts a long shadow. Shunned by the very people he has spent his life fighting for, Chato nevertheless remains defiant, his resilient spirit never wavering despite the heavy toll of his life’s trials. Will Rogers Medallion-winning author W. Michael Farmer masterfully concludes Chato’s epic tale, illuminating the resilience of a leader determined to preserve his people’s heritage against overwhelming odds. Proud Outcast is a tale of honor, survival, and the relentless pursuit of a place to call home.

Book Synopsis Texas Loud, Proud, and Brash by : Rusty Williams
Download or read book Texas Loud, Proud, and Brash written by Rusty Williams and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-08-01 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of New Texas, the Texas we know today—oil-rich, insufferably loud, and unbearably proud of itself—begins in the late 1920s, when a horned frog wakes from its thirty-one-year nap in a courthouse cornerstone and flabbergasts the nation. In slightly over two decades ten individuals—their words, actions, and accomplishments—come to define the New Texas of the twenty-first century. While the history of Old Texas rests on oft-told legends of Houston, Austin, Travis, Crockett, Rusk, Lamar, and Seguin, today’s New Texas—proud, loud, self-promotional, sports-crazy, and too rich for its own good—is the Texas that percolates throughout the nation’s popular culture. In Texas Loud, Proud, and Brash: How Ten Mavericks Created the Twentieth-Century Lone Star State, author Rusty Williams profiles ten largely unsung men and women responsible for the Texas you love, hate, and (secretly) envy today.
