Download or read book European Expansion and Representations of Indigenous and African Peoples written by Ignacio Gallup-Díaz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a bold, multifaceted interpretation of early English imperial actions by examining the ways in which English empire-builders and travelers interacted with Indigenous and African peoples during the long process of colonization in the Americas. Ignacio Gallup-Díaz argues that early English imperial actors were primarily motivated by practical concerns rather than abstract ideologies—from reacting to, learning from, and avoiding the ongoing Spanish and Portuguese imperial projects to the dynamic collision of English imaginings of empire with the practical realities of governing non-European peoples. The text includes an appendix of primary sources that allows students and instructors to engage with English imperial thinking directly. Readers are encouraged to critically examine English accounts of this period in an attempt to see the Indigenous and African peoples who are embedded in them. European Expansion and Representations of Indigenous and African Peoples provides an invaluable new framework for undergraduate students and instructors of early American history, Atlantic history, and the history of race and imperialism more broadly.

Book excerpt: In this exciting sequel to the multi-award-winning novel, The Formidable Miss Cassidy, Letty Ingram, a half-Malayan lady raised in the UK, has suffered under a strange curse her whole life. Her beautiful and fearsome mother, from an unknown island in the Malay Archipelago, is the key to the mystery. Letty arrives in Singapore in 1906 to seek the help of the Chinese medium, Madam Kay. But Madam Kay’s whole family gets involved, including her sister, her father…and their unusual mutual friend, the formidable Miss Cassidy. Author Meihan Boey illustrates the lengths Letty will go to in order to save her own soul, and reveals how Miss Cassidy’s past has caught up with her, in the shape of a worthy opponent: a terrifying jungle spirit the native folk call the Bungadarah.

Download or read book Cold War Progressives written by Jacqueline Castledine and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recognizing the relation between gender, race, and class oppression, American women of the postwar Progressive Party made the claim that peace required not merely the absence of violence, but also the presence of social and political equality. For progressive women, peace was the essential thread that connected the various aspects of their activist agendas. This study maps the routes taken by postwar popular front women activists into peace and freedom movements of the 1960s and 1970s. Historian Jacqueline Castledine tells the story of their decades-long effort to keep their intertwined social and political causes from unraveling and to maintain the connections among peace, feminism, and racial equality. Postwar progressive women and their allies often saw themselves as members of a popular front promoting the rights of workers, women, and African Americans under the banner of peace. However, the Cold War indelibly shaped the contours of their activism. Following the Progressive Party's demise in the 1950s, these activists reentered social and political movements in the early 1960s and met the inescapable reality that their agenda was a casualty of the left-liberal political division of the early Cold War era. Many Americans now viewed peace as a leftist concern associated with Soviet sympathizers and civil rights as the favored cause of liberals. Faced with the dilemma of working to reunite these movements or choosing between them, some progressive women chose to lead such New Left organizations as the Jeannette Rankin Brigade while others became leaders of liberal "second wave" feminist movements. Whether they committed to affiliating with groups that emphasized one issue over others or attempted to found groups with broad popular-front type agendas, Progressive women brought to their later work an understanding of how race, class, and gender intersect in women's organizing. These women's stories demonstrate that the ultimate result of Cold War-era McCarthyism was not the defeat of women's activism, but rather its reconfiguration.

Book excerpt: Is there yet time to reverse these deadly trends, or is it already too late? This is the question posed by millionaire businessman Adam Finlay, who has just joined an environmental group comprised of a physicist, a biologist, spiritual practitioners, and a psychic. During the first meeting, they reveal some of the most shocking news Adam has ever heard. The answer to his question comes from a most unlikely source. Through a series of strange events, he ultimately connects with a mysterious mountain woman who takes him on a journey of self-discovery that permanently changes his direction in life. The group was formed to explore ways to salvage what they describe as a seriously ill planet. But what this group learns is that the dire state of environmental affairs is matched by a conspiracy at the highest levels of government and big business. The group races to find steps that can be taken today, in all areas of the world, to avoid what appears to be inevitable. The environmental situation is much more serious than most people are aware of, the group reports. The Earth is facing a crisis unprecedented in our history and if it continues unabated, the result could be the extinction of human life. Can Earth be saved from its manmade fate?

Download or read book Radicalism at the Crossroads written by Dayo F. Gore and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the exception of a few iconic moments such as Rosa Parks’s 1955 refusal to move to the back of a Montgomery bus, we hear little about what black women activists did prior to 1960. Perhaps this gap is due to the severe repression that radicals of any color in America faced as early as the 1930s, and into the Red Scare of the 1950s. To be radical, and black and a woman was to be forced to the margins and consequently, these women’s stories have been deeply buried and all but forgotten by the general public and historians alike. In this exciting work of historical recovery, Dayo F. Gore unearths and examines a dynamic, extended network of black radical women during the early Cold War, including established Communist Party activists such as Claudia Jones, artists and writers such as Beulah Richardson, and lesser known organizers such as Vicki Garvin and Thelma Dale. These women were part of a black left that laid much of the groundwork for both the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and later strains of black radicalism. Radicalism at the Crossroads offers a sustained and in-depth analysis of the political thought and activism of black women radicals during the Cold War period and adds a new dimension to our understanding of this tumultuous time in United States history.

Download or read book Passionate Presence written by Catherine Ingram and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through her popular interactive Dharma Dialogues (dharmameaning “truth” or “the way”), Catherine Ingram has helped thousands of students in their quest for awakening by encouraging them to give up the quest and let their own “heart intelligence” guide them in life. Through her work, Ingram has found that most people are imbued with “passionate presence,” but often overlook it because they are searching for something more dramatic elsewhere. In this book, she invites readers to simply to relax into their own passionate presence and the innate awakened qualities that come with this relaxation: Silence, Tenderness, Discernment, Embodiment, Authenticity, Delight, and Wonder. With illuminating anecdotes and personal reflections, she describes the seven traits, imparting a sense of the mystery of the world through direct experience, rather than through expounding any particular belief or tradition. Passionate Presencetakes us on a heart journey that is an immediate experience of seven awakened qualities, speaking directly to the inherent wisdom within each of us. Inspiring and profound, it is a sojourn into the timeless wisdom secretly known by all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title tells the story of one of the most celebrated and forgotten directors of the silent film era. Born in late-Victorian Dublin, Ingram immigrated to America in his teens and studied sculpture at Yale. Lured by the opportunities on offer in the exciting world of New York's moving picture industry, he abandoned his studies for the cinema, becoming a successful director. But for this obstinate perfectionist life in the newly organised Hollywood studio system was anathema, and in the early thirties, Ingram abandoned cinema for a life of travel and writing, an all but forgotten name when he died.

Download or read book An Indian Sojourn written by Ellen Besso and published by . This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holistic MidLife Coach Ellen Besso had always wanted to travel to India. As a coach and author who helps women uncover their passions, find new directions in life, and put spirituality into practice in their daily lives, for as long as she could remember, she had a preoccupation with India and its people, feeling drawn to go there. An Indian Sojourn: One woman's spiritual experience of travel & volunteering is a wonderful book describing Ellen Besso's travel in India. Ellen writes: "India's draw is complex; we can't understand it within the frame of reference of our Western minds, and that is part of what pulls us in. Once our constant internal analysis abates, we're more open to flowing with what is unfolding around us. To say that the environment there is over stimulating would be an understatement. People, vehicles, cows, even the colours are de trop, but my approach has been, "bring it on." I was thirsty for India after waiting for her so long and I wanted to soak in every tiny little detail." Ellen and her partner Don have now made three journeys visiting India, in 2007, 2009 and again very recently. During their travel to India, they made lifelong friends, volunteering and tutoring Tibetan refugees in Dharamsala, India. Ellen looks forward to returning to India again in the future. Ellen writes: "I invite you to join me on my journey, through the ups and downs of travel and volunteering, meet the people we developed strong friendships with, and enjoy the fascination and wild rides that are India. This book is also about the heartfelt stories of refugees, fellow travellers and the Indian people themselves and the effort of trying to understand cultures very different from ours. Ultimately though it is the moments when we are not so far apart that defines An Indian Sojourn." An Indian Sojourn - One woman's spiritual experience of travel and volunteering is the second book in Ellen Besso's MidLife Maze Series.

Download or read book Claude McKay, Rebel Sojourner in the Harlem Renaissance written by Wayne F. Cooper and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1996-02-01 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Cooper paints a meticulous and absorbing portrait of McKay’s restless artistic, intellectual, and political odyssey... The definitive biography on McKay.”—Choice Although recognized today as one of the genuine pioneers of black literature in this century—the author of “If We Must Die,” Home to Harlem, Banana Bottom, and A Long Way from Home, among other works—Claude McKay (1890–1948) died penniless and almost forgotten in a Chicago hospital. In this masterly study, Wayne Cooper presents a fascinating, detailed account of McKay’s complex, chaotic, and frequently contradictory life. In his poetry and fiction, as well as in his political and social commentaries, McKay searched for a solid foundation for a valid black identity among the working-class cultures of the West Indies and the United States. He was an undeniably important predecessor to such younger writers of the Harlem Renaissance as Langston Hughes and Countee Cullen, and also to influential West Indian and African writers such as C. L. R. James and Aimé Césaire. Knowledge of his life adds important dimensions to our understanding of American radicalism, the expatriates of the 1920s, and American literature. “Mr. Cooper’s most original contribution is his careful and perceptive analysis of McKay’s nonfiction writing, especially his social and political commentary, which often contained ‘prophetic statements‘ on a range of important social, political, and historical issues.”—New York Times Book Review
