Описание: The subtitle In Their Own Voice - ""Power to Remove"" sets the tension-filled tone of Volume 8 of Records of the Moravians among the Cherokees. In the brief span of just two and a half years, 1828 to July 1830, events take place that seal the fate of the Cherokees east of the Mississippi. The Cherokees put Sequoyah's syllabary to use with a printing press and newspaper, so that their words, in Cherokee and English, are heard not only in their Nation but as far as the subscriptions carry the Cherokee Phoenix. Although some Cherokees emigrate to the west, the greater majority choose to remain in their ancestral homeland and suffer the consequences of intruding Georgians. But the federal election of 1828 signals a change in American politics as Andrew Jackson is elected president and the destiny of America is pushing westward. With the discovery of gold found in Cherokee lands and the United States Congress giving the president ""power to remove"" all Native Americans east of Mississippi, the Cherokee homelands become increasingly threatened.

Описание: This significant contribution to Cherokee studies examines the tribe s life during the eighteenth century, up to the Removal. By revealing town loyalties and regional alliances, Tyler Boulware uncovers a persistent identification hierarchy among the colonial Cherokee. Boulware aims to fill the gap in Cherokee historical studies by addressing two significant aspects of Cherokee identity: town and region. Though other factors mattered, these were arguably the most recognizable markers by which Cherokee peoples structured group identity and influenced their interactions with outside groups during the colonial era. This volume focuses on the understudied importance of social and political ties that gradually connected villages and regions and slowly weakened the localism that dominated in earlier decades. It highlights the importance of borderland interactions to Cherokee political behavior and provides a nuanced investigation of the issue of Native American identity, bringing geographic relevance and distinctions to the topic.

Описание: The collision between the Cherokee Nation and the State of Georgia moves inexorably closer, as chronicled by Moravian Church missionaries in volume 9 of Records of the Moravians among the Cherokees covering August 1830-1833. Continuing the subtitle series March to Removal, volume 9 opens with an air of peace and quiet that belies the future. That tranquility is shattered when Georgia orders all white men in the Cherokee Nation to take an oath of allegiance to the state's laws or leave the country. The new law ushers in a year of upheaval, terror, and imprisonment, as Georgia Guards sweep the land of white laborers, artisans, and especially, as Br. Gottlieb Byhan reports, the ""Yankee Missionaries"" of the American Board in Boston. The jailing of Samuel Worcester eventually becomes a national cause c?l?bre before the United States Supreme Court, to no avail. The Moravian missionaries too suffer. First Oochgeelogy, their mission station near New Echota, the Cherokees' capital, is lost to ""renters."" Then on New Year's Day, 1833, the Moravians' beloved Springplace, the first mission station in the Cherokee Nation, is overrun by whites who have ""won"" it through Georgia's lottery of land sales in the Cherokee Nation. With this loss, the Moravians have no recourse but to seek refuge in Tennessee beyond the reach of Georgia law. Must they abandon their little congregation of Cherokee members? Back home in Salem, North Carolina, church authorities vow: ""They shall not be forsaken.""Records of the Moravians among the Cherokees uses original diaries, minutes, reports, and correspondence in Moravian Archives in North Carolina to provide a first-hand account of daily life among the Cherokees throughout the nineteenth century. Though written by missionaries from their perspective, these records give much insight into Cherokee culture, society, customs, and personalities.
The State of Georgia and the United States press forward toward their common goal, Georgia for white citizens only and America east of the Mississippi swept clean of Indians.
After years of negotiations, treaties, enactments, and lawsuits, the Treaty of New Echota, signed late December 1835 by a handful of Cherokee head men, seals the fate of the Cherokee Nation east of the Mississippi.
The Cherokees are now a homeless people in their ancient homeland. And the Moravian Church’s missionaries, through mission diaries, reports, and letters, record the events as they hear, read, and eyewitness them, “heart freezing scenes of injustice, deception, oppression, & force, of which this Nation is the victim,” missionary Henry Clauder writes April 1837.
As forced removal increases, “forts” are built to hold up to 200 Indians each, even at the Moravians’ beloved Springplace mission. Herded into the forts like cattle, many succumb to camp diseases.
As the deadline for departure approaches, John Ross, president of the Cherokee Nation, wins a concession from the Army’s Gen. Winfield Scott. Instead of soldiers, Cherokees will conduct the 13 “detachments” of about 1,000 Indians each.
And the Moravian missionaries make their own hard decision. With winter coming on, they depart on the 800-mile journey to Arkansas before Br. George Hicks can start his detachment with a number of Moravian mission families.

Описание: In Mexico and across other parts of Latin America local Indigenous peoples have built community policing groups as a means of protection where the state has limited control over, and even complicity in, crime and violence. Luis Hernandez Navarro, a leading Mexican journalist, offers a riveting investigation of these armed self-defense groups that sprang up around the time of the 1994 Zapatista uprising in Chiapas. Available in English for the first time, the book spotlights the intense precarity of everyday life in parts of Mexico. Hernandez Navarro shows how the self-defense response, which now includes wealthier rancher and farmer groups, is being transformed by Mexico's expanding role in the multibillion dollar global drug trade, by foreign corporations' extraction of raw minerals in traditionally Indigenous lands, and by the resulting social changes in local communities.
But as Hernandez Navarro acknowledges, self-defense is highly controversial. Community policing may provide citizens with increased agency, but for government officials it can be a dangerous threat to the status quo. Leftists and liberals are wary of how the groups may be linked to paramilitary forces and vulnerable to manipulation by drug traffickers and the government alike. This book answers the urgent call to understand the dangerous complexities of government failures and popular solutions.

Erben Название: A Harmony of the Spirits: Translation and the Language of Community in Early Pennsylvania ISBN: 1469633469 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781469633466 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 27170.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: In early Pennsylvania, translation served as a utopian tool creating harmony across linguistic, religious, and ethnic differences. Patrick Erben challenges the long-standing historical myth--first promulgated by Benjamin Franklin--that language diversity posed a threat to communal coherence. He deftly traces the pansophist and Neoplatonist philosophies of European reformers that informed the radical English and German Protestants who founded the ""holy experiment."" Their belief in hidden yet persistent links between human language and the word of God impelled their vision of a common spiritual idiom. Translation became the search for underlying correspondences between diverse human expressions of the divine and served as a model for reconciliation and inclusiveness. Drawing on German and English archival sources, Erben examines iconic translations that engendered community in colonial Pennsylvania, including William Penn's translingual promotional literature, Francis Daniel Pastorius's multilingual poetics, Ephrata's ""angelic"" singing and transcendent calligraphy, the Moravians' polyglot missions, and the common language of suffering for peace among Quakers, Pietists, and Mennonites. By revealing a mystical quest for unity, Erben presents a compelling counternarrative to monolingualism and Enlightenment empiricism in eighteenth-century America.

Описание: For more than a century, the term "Main Street" has conjured up nostalgic images of American small-town life. Representations exist all around us, from fiction and film to the architecture of shopping malls and Disneyland. All the while, the nation has become increasingly diverse, exposing tensions within this ideal. In The Death and Life of Main Street, Miles Orvell wrestles with the mythic allure of the small town in all its forms, illustrating how Americans continue to reinscribe these images on real places in order to forge consensus about inclusion and civic identity, especially in times of crisis. Orvell underscores the fact that Main Street was never what it seemed; it has always been much more complex than it appears, as he shows in his discussions of figures like Sinclair Lewis, Willa Cather, Frank Capra, Thornton Wilder, Margaret Bourke-White, and Walker Evans. He argues that translating the overly tidy cultural metaphor into real spaces--as has been done in recent decades, especially in the new urbanist planned communities of Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk and Andres Duany--actually diminishes the communitarian ideals at the center of this nostalgic construct. Orvell investigates the way these tensions play out in a variety of cultural realms and explores the rise of literary and artistic traditions that deliberately challenge the tropes and assumptions of small-town ideology and life.

Описание: The federally recognized Round Valley Indian Tribes are a small, confederated people whose members today come from twelve indigenous California tribes. In 1849, during the California gold rush, people from several of these tribes were relocated to a reservation farm in northern Mendocino County. Fusing Native American history and labor history, William Bauer Jr. chronicles the evolution of work, community, and tribal identity among the Round Valley Indians in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that enabled their survival and resistance to assimilation. <BR><BR>Drawing on oral history interviews, Bauer brings Round Valley Indian voices to the forefront in a narrative that traces their adaptations to shifting social and economic realities, first within unfree labor systems, including outright slavery and debt peonage, and later as wage laborers within the agricultural workforce. Despite the allotment of the reservation, federal land policies, and the Great Depression, Round Valley Indians innovatively used work and economic change to their advantage in order to survive and persist in the twentieth century. <i>We Were All Like Migrant Workers Here</i> relates their history for the first time.

Описание: In the first decades of the American republic, Mary White, a shopkeeper's wife from rural Boylston, Massachusetts, kept a diary. Woven into its record of everyday events is a remarkable tale of conflict and transformation in small-town life. Sustained by its Puritan heritage, gentry leadership, and sense of common good, Boylston had survived the upheaval of revolution and the creation of the new nation. Then, in a single generation of wrenching change, families, neighbors, church, and town descended into contentious struggle. Examining the tumultuous Jacksonian era at the intimate level of family and community, Mary Babson Fuhrer brings to life the troublesome creation of a new social, political, and economic order centered on individual striving and voluntary associations in an expansive nation.Blending family records and a rich trove of community archives, Fuhrer examines the ""age of revolutions"" through the lens of a rural community that was swept into the networks of an expanding and urbanizing New England region. This finely detailed history lends new depth to our understanding of a key transformative moment in American history.
