Charles C. Royce

Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

In "Cessions of Land by Indian Tribes to the United States: Illustrated by Those in the State of Indiana," Charles C. Royce meticulously documents the complex histories of land cessions between Native American tribes and the United States government, focusing on the state of Indiana. Royce employs a rigorous analytical style, combining archival research and detailed maps to illustrate the nuanced legal and sociopolitical contexts of these transactions. The text is grounded in the burgeoning field of Native American studies, examining both the motivations behind these cessions and their lasting impacts on Indigenous communities. Charles C. Royce, a notable ethnohistorian and anthropologist, dedicated much of his career to the understanding of Native American history and rights. His extensive fieldwork and engagement with Indigenous communities provided him with unique insights that influenced his approach to this subject. Royce's work is situated within the late 19th and early 20th century scholarly tradition, characterized by a growing awareness of the rights and histories of Native peoples, and his scholarship seeks to rectify historical narratives frequently dominated by colonial perspectives. This book is essential reading for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the intersection of Native American history and U.S. policy. Royce's rigorous scholarship not only sheds light on the specific circumstances in Indiana but also serves as a powerful reminder of the broader implications of land cessions for Indigenous sovereignty and cultural identity.

BLACK WOMEN SHOULD BE LOVED…NOT...

Raymond Sturgis

Marriage, relationships, and interpersonal relationships have changed for black women, and it is apparent that many of them are becoming victims of domestic violence than ever before. Police stations and court dockets are replete with black men and women who have violently disagreed and have to undergo therapy to mend their violent misunderstandings. The main tragedy is that many back women and young girls are dying because of domestic violence. Young black girls who have not tasted the beautiful air of progress and success in life are dying as young black boys release their rage upon them without remorse. Why are there so many women being victims of violence in their communities? Some would say that black women themselves are responsible for the majority of the cases that leave them victims of violence. And if this is true, what has become of the black families that raise these young beautiful black women? In addition, this book expounds on real issues that carefully look at black women as victims of domestic violence and black women who are perpetrators of domestic violence.

Sun Tzu on the Art of War - The...

Sun Tzu

“If you know others and you know yourself, even in one hundred battles you will not find yourself at risk; if you do not know others, but you know yourself, you will win some battles and lose others; if you do not know others and you do not know yourself, you are at risk in every battle.” 
The Art of War is considered the oldest recorded treatise on military strategy. Written around the year 500 BC, this book uncovers the secrets of logic and armament, outlines the systems of authority, explains the keys to communication and discipline, differentiates the levels of military rank, and above all establishes absolutely innovative guidelines for strategy that are still used today. 
Its teachings go beyond the literal concept of “war.” For Sun Tzu, the successful person achieves his goals without devastating or humiliating others. The triumphant person prepares a tactic to achieve his goals, takes advantage of his opportunities, accepts his weaknesses, and recognizes his strengths. Those ideas led to the practice of applying the philosophy of The Art of War to questions of business and personal betterment. 
The words of Sun Tzu are read today as a manual for behaviors that help one defeat obstacles in various parts of life in order to achieve victory and exercise dominion over all who keep him from the path to success.

Of The Social Contract -...

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

"Man was born free, and he is everywhere in chains" 
These are the famous opening words of a treatise that has not ceased to stir vigorous debate since its first publication in 1762. Rejecting the view that anyone has a natural right to wield authority over others, Rousseau argues instead for a pact, or 'social contract', that should exist between all the citizens of a state and that should be the source of sovereign power. From this fundamental premise, he goes on to consider issues of liberty and law, freedom and justice, arriving at a view of society that has seemed to some a blueprint for totalitarianism, to others a declaration of democratic principles.It's publication in 1762 lead to great discussion about 'what is government' on both sides of the Atlantic, and is still essential reading today. 
How much government is too much? What rights should be given up for government? It is the Social Contract which is the foundational discussion on these topics.
