Book Synopsis The Sleep of Aborigines by : Rick Harsch
Download or read book The Sleep of Aborigines written by Rick Harsch and published by Steerforth Italia. This book was released on 2002 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third novel in the acclaimed Driftless Trilogy, now available as a paperback original, opens with a dead man, a failed writer named Rick Harsch, floating face down in a swimming pool, his hat and narrative still in place. Spleen, twin brother of the hero of The Driftless Zone, arrives, determined to solve the murder. Along the very unusual way, however, he'll stumble ominously in Harsch's steps toward the truth of a crime far darker than the mere murder of a writer, as Harsch himself haunts the pages from above and below. A smart, cool and satirical story with an edge.

Book Synopsis Land of the Sleeping Gods by : William Jackson Cotton
Download or read book Land of the Sleeping Gods written by William Jackson Cotton and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cotton Papers were an archive of documents and drawings on the society and culture of the Tasmanian Aborigines compiled by early members of the Cotton family, Quakers and early settlers on Tasmania's east coast, and their friend Dr George Story. According to family tradition the material was gathered from 'elderly Aborigines who wanted their traditions recorded before they died'. The archive was destroyed in a fire in 1959 but was re-created, from memory, by William Jackson Cotton. Some of the stories and drawings he produced were published as 'Touch the Morning' in 1979. This compilation has been annotated by historian Nick Clements and includes a special essay by historian Henry Reynolds. Despite the absence of the original documents, this 'fascinating and often startling material' is an important addition to a field of study in which contemporary sources are extremely limited.

Book Synopsis A Global History of Indigenous Peoples by : K. Coates
Download or read book A Global History of Indigenous Peoples written by K. Coates and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-10-29 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Global History of Indigenous Peoples examines the history of the indigenous/tribal peoples of the world. The work spans the period from the pivotal migrations which saw the peopling of the world, examines the processes by which tribal peoples established themselves as separate from surplus-based and more material societies, and considers the impact of the policies of domination and colonization which brought dramatic change to indigenous cultures. The book covers both tribal societies affected by the expansion of European empires and those indigenous cultures influenced by the economic and military expansion of non-European powers. The work concludes with a discussion of contemporary political and legal conflicts between tribal peoples and nation-states and the on-going effort to sustain indigenous cultures in the face of globalization, resource developments and continued threats to tribal lands and societies.

Book Synopsis Dream Travelers by : Roger Ivar Lohmann
Download or read book Dream Travelers written by Roger Ivar Lohmann and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2003-09-20 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In dreams, part of the self seems to wander off to undertake both mundane tasks and marvellous adventures. Anthropologists have found that many peoples take this experience of dreaming at face value, assuming that their spirits literally leave the body to travel, meet other spirits, and acquire valuable knowledge - with dramatic consequence for relationships, social organization, and religions. Dream Travellers is about Melanesian, Aboriginal Australian, and Indonesian peoples who hold this assumption. Several leading anthropologists contribute theoretically and ethnographically rich chapters, showing that attention to these peoples' dream lives deeply enhances our understanding of their cultures and waking lives as well.
