Book Synopsis Peasants, Warriors, and Wives by : Keith Moxey
Download or read book Peasants, Warriors, and Wives written by Keith Moxey and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2004-04 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Peasants, Warriors, and Wives, Keith Moxey examines woodcut images from the German Reformation that have often been ignored as a crude and inferior form of artistic production. In this richly illustrated study, Moxey argues that while they may not satisfy received notions of "art," they nevertheless constitute an important dimension of the visual culture of the period. Far from being manifestations of universal public opinion, as a cursory acquaintance with their subject matter might suggest, such prints were the means by which the reformed attitudes of the middle and upper classes were disseminated to a broad popular audience.

Download or read book Insurgence written by Jorge Sanchez and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-06 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being a teenager is tough. Especially when you have to live in the jungle and carry an assault rifle.Eighteen-year-old Gabriel and his twin sister, Samantha, join the revolution after death squads murder their parents and ransack their small village. A new totalitarian regime has taken control of the country, and as the army moves through the countryside – leaving destruction in its wake – it becomes clear to Gabriel that no matter which side you're on, nobody wins. The rebels face daily hardship and live under constant fear of counter-insurgency patrols, and Gabriel learns the hard way that the most dangerous threats can sometimes come from within. But adversity forges character, and Gabriel finds a mentor in the form of Sergeant Yos, his immediate superior and former soldier who left the army under mysterious circumstances.Armed with nothing but cold war relics and bravado, Gabriel and Samantha lead the rebels' efforts to take back their land, as long as their luck holds and they don't run out of ammo. Hell-bent on stopping them – and squashing them under his booth – is an army major with few scruples and zero qualms about destroying the young insurgent group, whatever the cost. Can Gabriel and the rebels hold out long enough to make a stand against an implacable foe, or will they be crushed under the weight of the largest military in Central America?Set against the backdrop of the beautiful Cuchumatan Mountains and the lush, green countryside of the Guatemalan highlands, Insurrection is a glimpse into the lives and emotions of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, in the name of love and country.

Book Synopsis Rulers, Peasants and the Use of the Written Word in Medieval Japan by : Judith Fröhlich
Download or read book Rulers, Peasants and the Use of the Written Word in Medieval Japan written by Judith Fröhlich and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides new insights into the creation and use of written texts in medieval Japan. Drawing upon lawsuits from Ategawa no shō in central Japan between the early eleventh and early fourteenth centuries, the author analyses the use of writing by various social groups - temple priests, warriors and peasants. Though these social groups had different levels of literacy and accordingly followed different communicative traditions, their use of writing had common features. In the semi-literate society of medieval Japan the dissemination and reception of written texts took place primarily through speaking and hearing. Documents of the medieval period therefore had a distinctly oral characteristic. Priests, warriors and peasants all alluded to motifs in their legal pleas that were in essence given by the oral world of tales, legends and gossip. By showing that literacy was not in conflict but interacted with orality, the author uncovers an important aspect of the use of the written word in medieval Japan.

Book Synopsis Women in Russia and Ukraine by : Rosalind J. Marsh
Download or read book Women in Russia and Ukraine written by Rosalind J. Marsh and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-03-14 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, leading western specialists and Russian and Ukrainian feminists examine how gender has shaped Russian and Ukrainian history from the twelfth century to the present. In particular, they analyse the current backlash against women's emancipation. Using new archival materials and the insights of feminist theory, the contributors explore the relevance of gender equality and difference in Russian history. They find that women have not merely submitted to the patriarchal system, but instead have found creative ways of resisting it. Chapters focusing on contemporary Russia discuss abortion, pornography, sexual minorities, young women's lifestyles, the impact of economic reform on women and the development of the women's movement. This book will be of interest to students and specialists in Russian, Ukrainian and women's studies, as well as to historians, political scientists, sociologists and economists.
