Book Synopsis Telling Stories the Kiowa Way by : Gus Palmer
Download or read book Telling Stories the Kiowa Way written by Gus Palmer and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2003-04-01 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the Kiowa, storytelling takes place under familiar circumstances. A small group of relatives and close friends gather. Tales are informative as well as entertaining. Joking and teasing are key components. Group participation is expected. And outsiders are seldom involved. This book explores the traditional art of storytelling still practiced by Kiowas today as Gus Palmer shares conversations held with storytellers. Combining narrative, personal experience, and ethnography in an original and artful way, Palmer—an anthropologist raised in a traditional Kiowa family—shows not only that storytelling remains an integral part of Kiowa culture but also that narratives embedded in everyday conversation are the means by which Kiowa cultural beliefs and values are maintained. Palmer's study features contemporary oral storytelling and other discourses, assembled over two and a half years of fieldwork, that demonstrate how Kiowa storytellers practice their art. Focusing on stories and their meaning within a narrative and ethnographic context, he draws on a range of material, including dream stories, stories about the coming of Táimê (the spirit of the Sun Dance) to the Kiowas, and stories of tricksters and tribal heroes. He shows how storytellers employ the narrative devices of actively participating in oral narratives, leaving stories wide open, or telling stories within stories. And he demonstrates how stories can reflect a wide range of sensibilities, from magical realism to gossip. Firmly rooted in current linguistic anthropological thought, Telling Stories the Kiowa Way is a work of analysis and interpretation that helps us understand story within its larger cultural contexts. It combines the author's unique literary talent with his people's equally unique perspective on anthropological questions in a text that can be enjoyed on multiple levels by scholars and general readers alike.

Book Synopsis Telling a Good One by : Theodore Rios
Download or read book Telling a Good One written by Theodore Rios and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Telling a Good One is the first comprehensive examination of the collaborative process that creates a Native American life story. Kathleen Mullen Sands draws on her partnership with the late Theodore Rios, a Tohono O'odham (formerly Papago) narrator, to address crucial issues surrounding the inscribing of a life story. Sandsøexamines the creative, critical, and cultural processes behind this increasingly popular mode of self-expression. The impetus, initial negotiations, interview process, narrative content and style, and the editing and interpretation phases of a Native American life story are all given equal scrutiny. Of particular interest are Sands's successes and failings as a collaborator and the influence of Tohono O'odham culture and its tradition of storytelling on Rios's actions and words. Sands examines the effects of her personal background and academic training on her actions and decisions, how her experiences compare with other collaborative autobiographies and biographies, and the role of academia and publishers in shaping expectations about the content and format of Native American biographies and autobiographies.
Book Synopsis Telling Our Way to the Sea by : Aaron Hirsh
Download or read book Telling Our Way to the Sea written by Aaron Hirsh and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2013-08-06 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A luminous and revelatory journey into the science of life and the depths of the human experience By turns epic and intimate, Telling Our Way to the Sea is both a staggering revelation of unraveling ecosystems and a profound meditation on our changing relationships with nature—and with one another. When the biologists Aaron Hirsh and Veronica Volny, along with their friend Graham Burnett, a historian of science, lead twelve college students to a remote fishing village on the Sea of Cortez, they come upon a bay of dazzling beauty and richness. But as the group pursues various threads of investigation—ecological and evolutionary studies of the sea, the desert, and their various species of animals and plants; the stories of local villagers; the journals of conquistadors and explorers—they recognize that the bay, spectacular and pristine though it seems, is but a ghost of what it once was. Life in the Sea of Cortez, they realize, has been reshaped by complex human ideas and decisions—the laws and economics of fishing, property, and water; the dreams of developers and the fantasies of tourists seeking the wild; even efforts to retrieve species from the brink of extinction—all of which have caused dramatic upheavals in the ecosystem. It is a painful realization, but the students discover a way forward. After weathering a hurricane and encountering a rare whale in its wake, they come to see that the bay's best chance of recovery may in fact reside in our own human stories, which can weave a compelling memory of the place. Glimpsing the intricate and ever-shifting web of human connections with the Sea of Cortez, the students comprehend anew their own place in the natural world—suspended between past and future, teetering between abundance and loss. The redemption in their difficult realization is that as they find their places in a profoundly altered environment, they also recognize their roles in the path ahead, and ultimately come to see one another, and themselves, in a new light. In Telling Our Way to the Sea, Hirsh's voice resounds with compassionate humanity, capturing the complex beauty of both the marine world he explores and the people he explores it with. Vibrantly alive with sensitivity and nuance, Telling Our Way to the Sea transcends its genre to become literature.

Download or read book The Telling written by Daniel Tabor and published by i2i Publishing. This book was released on 2023-04-30 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Telling is a story of European Jewish identity set against the backdrop of the chronicles of one family, going back through history as far as Napoleonic times. Author, Daniel Tabor, tracks the experiences and changing perceptions of his family as they find themselves having to move locations, often needing to flee oppression but also, to take up new opportunities. The approach to the writing is based on the time-honoured Jewish tradition of older family members passing on their life stories and insights to younger ones, as one way of keeping the family culture alive. The book looks back at those who lived many years ago during the nineteenth century in the days when the family was establishing itself in Europe, particularly in the Russian Pale and in Germany. These stories are combined with those of his more recent relatives who travelled in Europe, but also as far away as Israel and Australia, to find safe havens from oppression, or to make better lives for themselves. How all these changes affected their perceptions of their identity is a central theme running through the book, as are the influence of the places they lived in, and how they remembered their life stories. The book focuses heavily on the author’s parents, David and Hanna and their individual families. But Daniel Tabor brings in the life stories of other relatives on both sides of his family, too. Overall, the author has brought together the stories of twenty members of his family. While there are tales of sadness, there are also many tales of joy as the family members set about making the most of their lives, dealing with numerous challenges thrown in their path, displaying perseverance, resilience, courage and determination along the way. The book is written in an engaging anecdotal style and includes many evocative family testimonies and photos, providing a vivid picture of life in times gone by. The Telling will appeal to those interested in Jewish history in general, Jewish family histories, the Holocaust, the formation and development of the modern state of Israel, the topic of people migration and also those interested in how others have overcome significant adversity to make a better life for themselves.

Book Synopsis The Heavens Are Telling by : Lionel de Klerk
Download or read book The Heavens Are Telling written by Lionel de Klerk and published by Partridge Africa. This book was released on 2015-11-13 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world that is changing at such a dizzying rate we as Christians and as people who sometimes cling with such a feeble grip to whatever and whomever may still give us hope are so often confronted with so many difficult questions and a testing of our faith. Questions for which, at least to our earthbound minds, there seems to be no answers. We are faced with the question, firstly, of why it is that good people so often have to endure what seems to be an inordinate and unfair share of suffering. We are faced with a myriad of faith options in our search for the truth. If we are really sincere in our service to our Lord and Master Jesus Christ, we cannot help but to be grieved and perplexed by the never ending and always painful question of why our Savior had to pay the price that he did for such ungrateful children as we so often prove to be. These are but some of the questions that I battle with on a daily basis, and I hope—no, I pray—that somewhere within the pages of this book, your searching heart may find that hope that so often seems so tantalizingly illusive. Having read through Mr De Klerk’s book twice, I was astounded at the simplicity of his message. I was encouraged deeply in my walk with God. Whether you are a new believer or you’ve been on this journey forever, this book will take you to the next level of your faith. Blessings Bongani Njamini It's an easy and honest read. Stimulating a personal conversation and evaluation of one's own response to our individual journey's. The writting style is personable in it's approach and direct in it's purpose. Evoking a personal response to Truth,as life unfolds and demands of us. I would recommend this read,to anyone searching. Salome de Klerk I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the writer, Lionel De Klerk, on a book well written and every word, worth reading. It was a book that once you picked it up and started reading, you just wanted to carry on to see what the next and next page said. It made me understand Gods deep and unending love for me and reading certain passages gave me answers to questions. I would recommend anybody to read this book and maybe like me, you will find answers to questions. Debra Sa Joe
