Download or read book Confronting Columbus written by John Yewell and published by McFarland. This book was released on 1992 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States celebrates only two holidays that honor an individual: Martin Luthur King, Jr., a man who gave his life fighting the legacy of slavery, and Christopher Columbus, the man who initiated it. While the true story of Columbus' discovery of America is one of greed and subjugation, the mythology that has been perpetuated throughout American history is a tragic irony that continues as we celebrate the quincentennial anniversary of his voyage. The 25 essays and appendices in this book confront the popular view of Columbus as an heroic explorer and discoverer. The historical ramifications of Columbus' actions and the actions of those who followed are revealed in issues such as slavery and racism, the ecological and biological impacts of colonization, and the resulting holocaust of the indigenous peoples. Also challenged is the perpetuation of the Columbus myth. Essays examine the teaching of Columbus myths in schools, the perception in current textbooks, the way libraries influence the portrayal and teaching of Columbus, and the work of the Christopher Columbus Quincentenary Jubilee Commission. In addition to the three editors, contributors include Jose Barreiro, William Bigelow, Steve Charleston, Ward Churchill, Jan Elliott, Eduardo Galeano, Hans Koning, James Loewen, Luis Guillermo Lumbreras, John Mohawk, Jean Sindab, Verena Stolcke, Robert Allen Warrior, and Howard Zinn.

Download or read book Wild Majesty written by Peter Hulme and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wild Majesty presents an anthology of writings about the Amerindian inhabitants of the Caribbean, from such diverse sources as the first reports of Columbus, French missionary tracts, the diaries of English colonial administrators, and modern ethnographers, travel writers, and film makers. This written and visual material has been carefully selected to illustrate the development of non-Amerindian knowledge of and attitudes toward the society and culture of the so-called "Island Caribs", who once dominated the whole of the Lesser Antilles and continue to act today as a potent symbol of resistance to, and independence from, the modern nation-state. The volume breaks new ground in the anthropological use of literary and historical sources, as well as providing new translations of better-known texts, and original translations of rare printed works and previously unpublished documents from the European archives. This fascinating collection is essential for students of history, cultural studies, and anthropology, and all general readers interested in Columbia, the Caribbean, or exploration.

Praise for Columbus Noir “Moments of humanity shine through in many of the tales in this collection, and epic takes on pride and greed make many of the stories in this collection go beyond small miseries into the realm of Shakespearian tragedy. Urgent, beautiful, and not to be missed.” —CrimeReads, included in CrimeReads’ Most Anticipated Crime Books of 2020 “This superior Akashic noir anthology gathers 14 dark snapshots of Ohio’s capital, a very dangerous place indeed, with heavy drug use and murder touching down everywhere, from the German Village neighborhood to the statehouse. One highlight is Craig McDonald’s “Curb Appeal,” one of several invoking the homicidal search for housing. In the editor’s effective “Going Places,” a security man who covers up affairs for the governor gets pulled into a murder plot . . . . Noir fans should be well satisfied.” —Publishers Weekly

Book excerpt: Public perception of Christopher Columbus over the decades has taken him from the status of hero to one of the most vilified and enigmatic figures in world history. So who exactly was Christopher Columbus? Was he the greedy and barbaric pillager of peaceful Indian villages that his critics maintain he was, or was he the great mariner and discoverer of the New World? Well, both, it seems. Either way it depends on your perspective. Both depictions of Columbus can be argued in-depth. The Christopher Columbus Anthology is a collection of over 50 historical items on this great admiral of the sea. This Anthology also includes a collection of teaching guides that are aligned with Common Core State Standards for use in classrooms.

Download or read book The Dayton Anthology written by Shannon Shelton Miller and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dayton Anthology, the fifteenth in Belt's City Anthologies series, is a portrait of a city recovering from the twin 2019 crises of devastating tornadoes and the mass shooting that took the lives of nine residents. Through essays and poems, contributors reflect on these traumas, and the longer-term ills of disinvestment and decay that have plagued the city for years, but also on the resilience of the people who call Dayton home. This is the city that brought the world the Wright brothers' invention of flight, along with the cash register, the hydraulic pump, and other technological innovations, but also the soaring poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar, and the comedy of Dave Chappelle. With contributions from Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley and former Ohio Governor Bob Taft.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An anthology of essays & poetry offering a reconsideration of one of America’s most misunderstood cities. Is Indianapolis just another midwestern city to fly over on the way to bigger and better destinations? Or is it, as locals know, a place where different peoples and ideals converge to create a rich cultural center? The Indianapolis Anthology showcases Naptown’s vibrancy and diversity with pieces from journalists, poets, historians, established community voices, and first-time writers. The Circle City is more than the home of the Indianapolis 500, John Dillinger, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, Kurt Vonnegut, Prozac, and Wonder Bread. In these pages, you’ll find: · lawn chairs in the beds of pick-ups · Punk rock in Naptown · suffragists and entrepreneurs · cement pietàs · dog bakeries and yoga studios · red brick bungalows and war memorials · steakburgers and Mexican seafood; pho and sauerbraten · and more In other words, you'll find images from a city that is truly a cross section of today’s America. Edited by Norman “Buzz” Minnick and with contributions from Etheridge Knight, Terrance Hayes, Michael Martone, and Karen Kovacik. An insiders’ look that will make you see a great midwestern city in a brand-new light.

Download or read book The Borzoi Anthology of Latin American Literature: Twentieth century, from Borges and Paz to Guimarães Rosa and Donoso written by Emir Rodríguez Monegal and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive anthology including historical and critical as well as biographical commentary on each writer's work and on each major period in the literature as a whole. Professor Monegal has organized this gigantic anthology, which reaches from the time of Christopher Columbus to our own decade, on the premise that "Latin American literature is more an idea than an actuality, simply because Latin America itself has never achieved cultural integration." True enough, as the reader of any daily newspaper might guess; but Monegal goes further. His selections demonstrate that it wasn't until the middle of the 19th century, when a late-blooming variety of European Romanticism combined with newly achieved Latin American political independence, that the intention of a Latin American literature was even conceived. Then the letters and journals of Vespucci, Bernal Diaz, and their fellow explorers and conquistadors, with their Renaissance insistence on the fabulous, came to serve as a source for the continental vision of men like Andres Bello, Ruben Dario and Jose Enrique Rodo. Independence movements also produced political divisiveness and a backwater brand of literary realism that prevailed for decades; but in spite of this, the tendency of Latin American literature has been toward the marvelous and the formally experimental, and its most compelling metaphor, from Esteban Echeverria to Jorge Luis Borges and Gabriel Marquez, has been that of discovery.
