As US imperialism continues to dictate foreign policy, Deadly Contradictions is a compelling account of the American empire. Stephen P. Reyna argues that contemporary forms of violence exercised by American elites in the colonies, client state, and regions of interest have deferred imperial problems, but not without raising their own set of deadly contradictions. This book can be read many ways: as a polemic against geopolitics, as a classic social anthropological text, or as a seminal analysis of twenty-four US global wars during the Cold War and post-Cold War eras.

Описание: Selected for the 2021 Donald L. Fixico Award for Best Book on American Indian and Canadian First Nations HistoryBefore an indigenous people can decolonize, Leo Killsback explains, they must first understand what the world was like before colonization. Such understanding allows indigenous people to generate realistic goals and achieve positive change, reinventing themselves into people and nations who can honor original ways without corrupting or disgracing them.In two volumes, A Sacred People and A Sovereign People, Killsback, a citizen of the Northern Cheyenne Nation, reconstructs and rekindles an ancient Cheyenne world--ways of living and thinking that became casualties of colonization and forced assimilation. Spanning more than a millennium of antiquity and recovering stories and ideas interpreted from a Cheyenne worldview, the works’ joint purpose is rooted as much in a decolonization roadmap as it is in preservation of culture and identity for the next generations of Cheyenne people.Dividing the story of the Cheyenne Nation into pre- and post-contact, A Sacred People and A Sovereign People lay out indigenously conceived possibilities for employing traditional worldviews to replace unhealthy and dysfunctional ones bred of territorial, cultural, and psychological colonization.Together these volumes use an ancient past to confront long-standing challenges and to speak to the future. Comprising teachings that go to the true identities of the old ones, they reveal a way of thinking that today very few people know and even fewer live. Within such revelations about past leaders and events, Killsback demonstrates, lie the foundations for rebuilding and healing the Cheyenne Nation.

The general focus in Lakota oral literary research has been on content rather than process within oral traditions. In this groundbreaking study of the characteristics of Lakota oral style, Delphine Red Shirt shows how its composition and structure are reflected in the work of George Sword, who composed 245 pages of text in the Lakota language using the English alphabet. What emerges in Sword's Lakota narratives are the formulaic patterns inherent in the Lakota language that are used to tell the narratives, as well as recurring themes and story patterns. Red Shirt's primary conclusion is that this cadence originates from a distinctly Lakota oral tradition.
Red Shirt analyzes historical documents and original texts in Lakota to answer the question: How is Lakota literature defined? Her pioneering work uncovers the epistemological basis of this literature, which can provide material for literary studies, anthropological and traditional linguistics, and translation studies. Her analysis of Sword's texts discloses tools that can be used to determine whether the origin of any given narrative in Lakota tradition is oral, thereby opening avenues for further research.
Delphine Red Shirt (Oglala Sioux) is a lecturer in Native American studies and in the Special Languages Program (Lakota) at Stanford University. She has a PhD in American Indian studies from the University of Arizona and has previously served as chairperson of the nongovernmental organization committee on the International Decade of the World's Indigenous People. Red Shirt is the author of Bead on an Anthill: A Lakota Childhood (Nebraska, 1997) and Turtle Lung Woman's Granddaughter (Nebraska 2002).

As the minutes tick by, Thomas remembers his childhood spent deep in the countryside with his mother, his brothers, and Molly, the love of his life. But each minute that passes brings Thomas closer to something he can`t bear to to think about--the moment when the war and its horrific consequences will change his life forever.

Описание: Le bataillon des zouaves pontificaux est cree le 1er janvier 1861 et devient regiment au 1er janvier 1867. Il est constitue d’environ 10 000 volontaires, issus de 25 nationalites differentes, qui seront licencies le 21 septembre 1870. Une fois le conflit termine, de nombreuses associations d’anciens zouaves sont creees au retour des soldats et des journaux lies a ces associations sont fondees. Des rassemblements et des reunions cherchent a perpetuer le souvenir des faits d’armes des combattants demobilises tandis que plusieurs monuments en celebrent l’heroisme. Un veritable imaginaire prend forme a la fin du XIXe siecle. Appartenant a cette internationale « blanche », d’essence contre-revolutionnaire, les anciens volontaires elaborent le mythe du croise moderne, du martyre et du heros catholique. C’est ici l’imaginaire construit autour des zouaves pontificaux que ce livre se propose d’explorer. Il entend poser des jalons pour mieux comprendre la structuration des reseaux de zouaves, leur ideal de chretiente, leur description d’un « croise du Christ », leur identite comme groupe et leur quete de legitimite religieuse et sociale, voire politique.

Описание: A century ago, horses were ubiquitous in America. They plowed the fields, transported people and goods within and between cities and herded livestock. Then, in just a few decades, the horses vanished in a wave of emerging technologies. At the same time, those technologies fostered unprecedented economic growth, and with it a culture of recreation and leisure that opened a new place for the horse.

Название: Women on Southern Stages, 1800-1865: Performance, Gender and Identity in a Golden Age of American Theater ISBN: 0786499273 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780786499274 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Цена: 38810.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Women played an integral role on the South's antebellum and Civil War stages, but theater histories have largely overlooked their contributions. Nineteenth-century southern actresses were important public figures who helped mold gendered identity in the region through their scripted theatrical roles and non-scripted social roles. Women performed stage parts selected by white men, but they subverted norms of femininity through their public personas and the independence they exercised in their everyday personal lives. Southern actresses also distinguished themselves by carving out an in-between class status. They were educated and often wealthy but never accepted by the region's landed elite. Women who performed on stage contributed to the region's small but important urban economy and frequently showed themselves to be sophisticated entrepreneurs. Actresses also helped shape racial perceptions and contributed to regional politics as the South entered the Civil War. Without actresses, there would have been no theater, which was the primary means of entertainment in the nineteenth century.

Описание: Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins (Northern Paiute) has long been recognized as an important nineteenth-century American Indian activist and writer. Yet her acclaimed performances and speaking tours across the United States, along with the copious newspaper articles that grew out of those tours, have been largely ignored and forgotten. The Newspaper Warrior presents new material that enhances public memory as the first volume to collect hundreds of newspaper articles, letters to the editor, advertisements, book reviews, and editorial comments by and about Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins. This anthology gathers together her literary production for newspapers and magazines from her 1864 performances in San Francisco to her untimely death in 1891, focusing on the years 1879 to 1887, when Winnemucca Hopkins gave hundreds of lectures in the eastern and western United States; published her book, Life among the Piutes: Their Wrongs and Claims (1883); and established a bilingual school for Native American children. Editors Cari M. Carpenter and Carolyn Sorisio masterfully assemble these exceptional and long-forgotten articles in a call for a deeper assessment and appreciation of Winnemucca Hopkins's stature as a Native American author, while also raising important questions about the nature of Native American literature and authorship. Cari M. Carpenter is an associate professor of English at West Virginia University. She is the author of Seeing Red: Anger, Sentimentality, and American Indians. Carolyn Sorisio is a professor of English at West Chester University of Pennsylvania. She is the author of Fleshing Out America: Race, Gender, and the Politics of the Body in American Literature, 1833-1879.
