Download or read book Upriver Journeys written by Steven B. Miles and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-10-26 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing journeys of Cantonese migrants along the West River and its tributaries, this book describes the circulation of people through one of the world’s great river systems between the late sixteenth and mid-nineteenth centuries. Steven B. Miles examines the relationship between diaspora and empire in an upriver frontier, and the role of migration in sustaining families and lineages in the homeland of what would become a global diaspora. Based on archival research and multisite fieldwork, this innovative history of mobility explores a set of diasporic practices ranging from the manipulation of household registration requirements to the maintenance of split families. Many of the institutions and practices that facilitated overseas migration were not adaptations of tradition to transnational modernity; rather, they emerged in the early modern era within the context of riverine migration. Likewise, the extension and consolidation of empire required not only unidirectional frontier settlement and sedentarization of indigenous populations. It was also responsible for the regular circulation between homeland and frontier of people who drove imperial expansion—even while turning imperial aims toward their own purposes of socioeconomic advancement.

Download or read book Upriver and Downstream written by New York Times and published by Crown. This book was released on 2009-02-04 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upriver and Downstream gathers seventy columns about fishing—from freshwater to saltwater, from small ponds to the Great Lakes, from the Pacific Northwest to post-Soviet Russia—written for the “Outdoors” column of the New York Times. Contributors include such celebrated names as Nick Lyons, Thomas McGuane, Nelson Bryant, Peter Kaminsky, Ernest Schweibert, and Robert H. Boyle. Short, evocative, informative, and entertaining, here are pieces about fly-fishing for wild brook trout, bait-fishing for striped bass, casting into tailwaters, or angling in midwinter. The settings range from Hudson River piers to the Florida Everglades, from Iceland to the Amazon, and the fish include everything from the common sunfish to the esoteric paddlefish. These engaging essays remind us of what fishing is all about: companionship and solitude, challenge and relaxation, nature and technology, from coast-to-coast to around the globe. Rich with the particulars of water, light, and air, as well as a keen awareness of, as Verlyn Klinkenborg puts it in his introduction, “what is happening out there—in the deep, in the shallows, at the end of the line,” these reflections and recollections beautifully capture the natural world and one of life’s most challenging, perennial pursuits.

Download or read book The Danube written by Nick Thorpe and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magnificent Danube both cuts across and connects central Europe, flowing through and alongside ten countries: Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, and Germany. Travelling its full length from east to west, against the river’s flow, Nick Thorpe embarks on an inspiring year-long journey that leads to a new perspective on Europe today. Thorpe’s account is personal, conversational, funny, immediate, and uniquely observant—everything a reader expects in the best travel writing. Immersing himself in the Danube’s waters during daily morning swims, Thorpe likewise becomes immersed in the histories of the lands linked by the river. He observes the river’s ecological conditions, some discouraging and others hopeful, and encounters archaeological remains that whisper of human communities sustained by the river over eight millennia. Most fascinating of all are the ordinary and extraordinary people along the way—the ferrymen and fishermen, workers in the fields, shopkeepers, beekeepers, waitresses, smugglers and border policemen, legal and illegal immigrants, and many more. For readers who anticipate their own journeys on the Danube, as well as those who only dream of seeing the great river, this book will be a unique and treasured guide.

Book excerpt: Masters Biscuit, Turnaround, Forrester, and the Lady Neptune say 'hi' and 'how's it going' from their home in the ever-cozy Sarpsis Valley. Nestled in the heart of nowhere and lovingly hugging the great and bounteous Sarpsis River, we here in the valley think that this is the best damn place there could ever be in all the world! We got fishing, we got hunting--we got nothing but friends and well-wishers for neighbors and heroes and scholars for family. Maybe our criteria for "best" and "possible" is narrowed, what with so much of the world blown up and the rest of it loud and wounding and Fussy. And sure, maybe none of us has even been past the mountains or beyond the Withergrounds--but that's besides the point. Yes, friends, by process of elimination, by virtue of forfeit by all contenders, the Sarpsis Valley is the best damn place there could possibly be. Well, at least it was...Hasn't rained in a few years. And uh--river's shrinking a bit. Ground's kinda dry. But any day now it's gonna rain! Right around the corner! Biscuit's wings are twitching cause he thinks he feels a wetness on the wind, and all eight of Turnaround's eyes are peeled for clouds. Yep. Any day now it's gonna rain and everything is gonna to be alright--so mount the oars, hoist a sail, and fill your pockets full of worms because any day now the fishing is gonna be as good as it was, and all the best spots'll be taken. P.S. The funniest thing's just happened! Some people came from up in The Fuss, and you know what, they don't seem so bad after all! They made it rain, and they got these seeds that grow to plants in less than an afternoon! Some people are jittery about it, but hell, Biscuit says this is no world for cowards. Forrester thinks the people from upriver look at at the strange kids funny, that they look at Biscuit's wings like candy and at Blonde John's digging claws like they're a present or something. But anyway--it's damn good to see things getting back on track, however it has to happen. P.P.S. Some more new people came from up the river, and they said they came to help too! People from upriver sure are helpful. Valley's getting a bit crowded, but hell--you're still invited. P.P.P.S. We changed our minds. Keep out. Keep the hell out!

Download or read book War of Shadows written by Michael F Brown and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War of Shadows is the haunting story of a failed uprising in the Peruvian Amazon—told largely by people who were there. Late in 1965, Asháninka Indians, members of one of the Amazon's largest native tribes, joined forces with Marxist revolutionaries who had opened a guerrilla front in Asháninka territory. They fought, and were crushed by, the overwhelming military force of the Peruvian government. Why did the Indians believe this alliance would deliver them from poverty and the depredations of colonization on their rainforest home? With rare insight and eloquence, anthropologists Brown and Fernández write about an Amazonian people whose contacts with outsiders have repeatedly begun in hope and ended in tragedy. The players in this dramatic confrontation included militants of the Movement of the Revolutionary Left (MIR), the U. S. Embassy, the Peruvian military, a "renegade" American settler, and the Asháninka Indians themselves. Using press reports and archival sources as well as oral histories, the authors weave a vivid tapestry of narratives and counternarratives that challenges the official history of the guerrilla struggle. Central to the story is the Asháninkas' persistent hope that a messiah would lead them to freedom, a belief with roots in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century jungle rebellions and religious movements.
