Synopsis

In "The Lenâpé and Their Legends," Daniel G. Brinton delves into the rich oral traditions and cultural tapestry of the Lenâpé people, a Native American tribe from the northeastern United States. Through the lens of ethnographic and anthropological exploration, Brinton employs a narrative style that intertwines lyrical storytelling with scholarly analysis, offering readers a profound insight into the myths, legends, and everyday lives of the Lenâpé. This work not only serves as a collection of folklore but also contextualizes their stories within the broader landscape of Indigenous narratives in America, revealing themes of harmony with nature, spirituality, and the human condition. Daniel G. Brinton was a pioneering anthropologist and linguist whose deep interest in Native American cultures and languages shaped his scholarly pursuits. His extensive travels and interactions with Indigenous communities informed his efforts to preserve their legacy, especially at a time when many were facing cultural erasure due to colonial influences. Brinton's unique position as both a scholar and a sympathetic observer allowed him to convey the wisdom and nuances of the Lenâpé traditions with authenticity and respect. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in Native American literature, folklore, and anthropology. Brinton's work is invaluable for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of Lenâpé culture, as well as for scholars and laypeople who appreciate the intricate relationship between narrative and identity in Indigenous communities.

1939: The History of the Year...

Editors Charles River

Munich is widely reviled today and is held up as the epitome of appeasement, but historians still debate its effects on the Second World War, as well as Neville Chamberlain's character and motivations. Some believe the attempted appeasement of Nazi Germany hastened, or even caused, the mayhem occupying the next seven years. Others believe that the pact merely failed to alter war's inevitable arrival in either direction. Historians and authors alternately interpret Chamberlain as a bumbling, arrogant fool, a strong-willed statesman who simply miscalculated the nature of Hitler and Nazi Germany, or even a man with dictatorial ambitions surreptitiously inserting himself into the Fuhrer's orbit and prevented from further damaging democracy only by his fall and death from bowel cancer. Another possible interpretation, with considerable documentary support, asserts Chamberlain wished to enlist Germany's aid against the state most Europeans perceived as the true threat of the era, the Soviet Union.
Europe’s attempts to appease him, most notably at Munich in 1938, failed, as Nazi Germany swallowed up Austria and Czechoslovakia by 1939. Italy was on the march as well, invading Albania in April of 1939. The straw that broke the camel's back, however, was Germany's invasion of Poland on September 1 of that year. Two days later, France and Great Britain declared war on Germany, and World War II had begun in earnest. Of course, as most people now know, the invasion of Poland was merely the preface to the Nazi blitzkrieg of most of Western Europe, which would include Denmark, Belgium, and France by the summer of 1940.
