Annie Heloise Abel

Sinopsis

Annie Heloise Abel's 'The American Indians as Slaveholders and Secessionists' is a groundbreaking analysis of the role played by Native American tribes in the antebellum South. Through meticulous research and compelling narrative, Abel examines how Native American tribes in the southeastern United States not only owned slaves but also actively supported the secessionist movement. Abel's writing style is scholarly and thorough, providing readers with a wealth of historical context and insight into the complex dynamics of race, power, and identity in pre-Civil War America. This book sheds new light on a little-known aspect of American history and challenges readers to rethink the traditional narratives of slavery and secession. Annie Heloise Abel, a pioneering historian and expert on Native American history, brings a unique perspective to the subject matter, drawing on her extensive knowledge and research to present a compelling argument. With meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of the complexities of race and identity, Abel's work is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersections of Native American and African American history in the United States.

Do Your Own Thing

Richard Phoenix

Do Your Own Thing is a full-length work of non-fiction from artist and musician Richard Phoenix detailing his experiences of the best underground arts scene you've never heard of——Do Your Own Thing, a project run by learning disability arts organisation Heart n Soul.

Looking at the transformative potential of working to support creative young people make the music and art they want to, this book contributes essential new voices, reflections and considerations to the established ideas of 'Do It Yourself' culture. Phoenix's book, written with a disarming and idiosyncratic voice, asks what our often reductive understanding of DIY aesthetics might mean in light of questions about access, support and who gives permission to whom to make art, guiding us through the kind of project only spoken about in funding reports and transforming it into a polyphonic, collaborative and joyful work of art.

Generosity - The Joy of Giving -...

Esther Jameson

Generosity is more than a simple act of giving; it is a way of life that touches every facet of our human experience. It begins with an open heart that is willing to see the needs of others and a spirit that recognizes the beauty in sharing. When we choose to be generous, we are not merely offering material support, but we are also extending compassion, hope, and a sense of belonging to those around us. 
At its core, generosity stems from an understanding of our interconnectedness. Each act of kindness creates ripples that extend far beyond the initial gesture, fostering a community built on trust and empathy. In a world that often emphasizes individual success, embracing the spirit of generosity means shifting our focus toward collective well-being. This shift encourages us to see the value in every life and reminds us that our actions can inspire profound change in both ourselves and the communities we serve. 
The spirit of generosity is nurtured by an inner belief that every blessing, whether big or small, is meant to be shared. This belief drives us to look for opportunities to help others, even in times when we ourselves face challenges. Generosity is not reserved for moments of abundance; it can flourish in the most humble settings, turning everyday interactions into powerful expressions of human kindness. It teaches us that giving is not a burden but a joyous practice that enriches our lives and deepens our connections with others.

Intimate Subjects - Touch and...

Simeon Koole

An insightful history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Britain told through a single sense: touch.
When, where, and who gets to touch and be touched, and who decides? What do we learn through touch? How does touch bring us closer together or push us apart? These are urgent contemporary questions, but they have their origins in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Britain, when new urban encounters compelled intense discussion of what touch was, and why it mattered. In this vividly written book, Simeon Koole excavates the history of these concerns and reveals how they continue to shape ideas about “touch” in the present.
Intimate Subjects takes us to the bustling railway stations, shady massage parlors, all-night coffee stalls, and other shared spaces where passengers, customers, vagrants, and others came into contact, leading to new understandings of touch. We travel in crammed subway cars, where strangers negotiated the boundaries of personal space. We visit tea shops where waitresses made difficult choices about autonomy and consent. We enter classrooms in which teachers wondered whether blind children could truly grasp the world and labs in which neurologists experimented on themselves and others to unlock the secrets of touch. We tiptoe through London’s ink-black fogs, in which disoriented travelers became newly conscious of their bodies and feared being accosted by criminals. Across myriad forgotten encounters such as these, Koole shows, touch remade what it meant to be embodied—as well as the meanings of disability, personal boundaries, and scientific knowledge.
With imagination and verve, Intimate Subjects offers a new way of theorizing the body and the senses, as well as a new way of thinking about embodiment and vulnerability today.
