Book Synopsis From the Iron House by : Deena Rymhs
Download or read book From the Iron House written by Deena Rymhs and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2014-01-07 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In From the Iron House: Imprisonment in First Nations Writing, Deena Rymhs identifies continuities between the residential school and the prison, offering ways of reading “the carceral”—that is, the different ways that incarceration is constituted and articulated in contemporary Aboriginal literature. Addressing the work of writers like Tomson Highway and Basil Johnston along with that of lesser-known authors writing in prison serials and underground publications, this book emphasizes the literary and political strategies these authors use to resist the containment of their institutions. The first part of the book considers a diverse sample of writing from prison serials, prisoners’ anthologies, and individual autobiographies, including Stolen Life by Rudy Wiebe and Yvonne Johnson, to show how these works serve as second hearings for their authors—an opportunity to respond to the law’s authority over their personal and public identities while making a plea to a wider audience. The second part looks at residential school narratives and shows how the authors construct identities for themselves in ways that defy the institution’s control. The interactions between these two bodies of writing—residential school accounts and prison narratives—invite recognition of the ways that guilt is colonially constructed and how these authors use their writing to distance themselves from that guilt. Offering new ways of reading Native writing, From the Iron House is a pioneering study of prison literature in Canada and situates its readings within international criticism of prison writing. Contributing to genre studies and theoretical understandings of life writing, and covering a variety of social topics, this work will be relevant to readers interested in indigenous studies, Canadian cultural studies, postcolonial studies, auto/biography studies, law, and public policy.

Book Synopsis The Power of the Church by : Michael R. Wagenman
Download or read book The Power of the Church written by Michael R. Wagenman and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-11-20 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is fascinating that in all the media reports and discussions of the church's abuse of power in the early years of the twenty-first century, few if any seemed to notice that the accusation of the church's misuse of power presupposed a shared understanding of the positive use of power within the church that had been violated. Rather than an interest in the sociological aspect of this question, this book examines the more ontological and normative aspects of it. That is, it investigates and discerns the foundational theological framework of culture and society and the location and purpose of the church within them. As a cultural force and societal institution, what does the church constructively bring to the human community?
Book Synopsis A Lacquer Legacy at Kew by : H. D. V. Prendergast
Download or read book A Lacquer Legacy at Kew written by H. D. V. Prendergast and published by Royal Botanic Gardens Kew. This book was released on 2001 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like the attics of deceased and distant relatives, reference collections may conceal treasures seldom seen, often unvalued, and perhaps even forgotten about altogether. Although on public view with little interruption since 1847, the Economic Botany Collections at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew continue to startle. Among them are samples of Japanese lacquer specially collected by John Quin in the 1880s under commission from Kew. This book reproduces his original 1882 report and illustrates the beauty, variety and techniques of the art of lacquer at the time. There is far more to tell of: the opening of Japan in the mid-Nineteenth Century and the rush there of the curious and adventurous; the role of Kew at the height of Britain's imperial power; the place of a poisonous tree sap in Japanese culture; and the man himself, a clergyman's son from Ireland, who devoted his diplomatic career to a life in Japan.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Canadian Literature by : Cynthia Sugars
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Canadian Literature written by Cynthia Sugars and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 992 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Canadian Literature provides a broad-ranging introduction to some of the key critical fields, genres, and periods in Canadian literary studies. The essays in this volume, written by prominent theorists in the field, reflect the plurality of critical perspectives, regional and historical specializations, and theoretical positions that constitute the field of Canadian literary criticism across a range of genres and historical periods. The volume provides a dynamic introduction to current areas of critical interest, including (1) attention to the links between the literary and the public sphere, encompassing such topics as neoliberalism, trauma and memory, citizenship, material culture, literary prizes, disability studies, literature and history, digital cultures, globalization studies, and environmentalism or ecocriticism; (2) interest in Indigenous literatures and settler-Indigenous relations; (3) attention to multiple diasporic and postcolonial contexts within Canada; (4) interest in the institutionalization of Canadian literature as a discipline; (5) a turn towards book history and literary history, with a renewed interest in early Canadian literature; (6) a growing interest in articulating the affective character of the "literary" - including an interest in affect theory, mourning, melancholy, haunting, memory, and autobiography. The book represents a diverse array of interests -- from the revival of early Canadian writing, to the continued interest in Indigenous, regional, and diasporic traditions, to more recent discussions of globalization, market forces, and neoliberalism. It includes a distinct section dedicated to Indigenous literatures and traditions, as well as a section that reflects on the discipline of Canadian literature as a whole.

Book Synopsis What the World Might Look Like by : Susie O’Brien
Download or read book What the World Might Look Like written by Susie O’Brien and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of resilience is everywhere these days, offering a framework for thriving in volatile times. Dominant resilience stories share an attachment to a mythologized past thought to hold clues for navigating a future that is understood to be full of danger. These stories also uphold values of settler colonialism and white supremacy. What the World Might Look Like examines the way resilience thinking has come to dominate the settler-colonial imagination and explores alternative approaches to resilience writing that instead offer decolonial models of thought. The book traces settler-colonial resilience stories to the rise of resilience science in the 1970s and 1980s, illustrating how the discipline supports the projects of white supremacy and colonialism. Working to unravel the blanket of common sense that shrouds the idea of resilience, the book is equally cautious of settler-colonial antiresilience stories that invoke the idea of death as an antidote to unbearable life. Susie O’Brien argues that, although the dominant narratives of resilience are problematic, resilience itself is neither inherently good nor inherently bad. Appreciating the significance of resilience stories requires asking what worlds and what communities they are meant to preserve. Looking at the fiction of Alexis Wright, David Chariandy, and Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, O’Brien points to the potential of Black and Indigenous thinking around resilience to figure decolonial possibilities for planetary flourishing. Exposing the complexities and limits of resilience, What the World Might Look Like questions the concept of resilience, highlighting how Black and Indigenous novelists can offer different decolonial ways of thinking about and with resilience to imagine things “otherwise.”
Book Synopsis Urban gardening and the struggle for social and spatial justice by : Chiara Certomà
Download or read book Urban gardening and the struggle for social and spatial justice written by Chiara Certomà and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-25 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents an in-depth and theoretically-grounded analysis of urban gardening practices (re)emerging worldwide as new forms of bottom-up socio-political participation. By complementing the scholarly perspectives through posing real cases, it focuses on how these practices are able to address – together with environmental and planning questions – the most fundamental issues of spatial justice, social cohesion, inclusiveness, social innovations and equity in cities. Through a critical exploration of international case studies, this collection investigates whether, and how, gardeners are willing and able to contrast urban spatial arrangements that produce peculiar forms of social organisation and structures for inclusion and exclusion, by considering pervasive inequalities in the access to space, natural resources and services, as well as considerable disparities in living conditions.
