Sinopse

Sports and Indigenous Pride explores how sports serve as more than just games for Indigenous communities; they are vital tools for cultural preservation, community building, and asserting identity. The book highlights how reclaiming traditional sports and navigating mainstream athletics provide platforms for social and political activism. 

 
Historically, Indigenous sports were suppressed through colonization, making their modern resurgence a powerful act of resilience. The book delves into the revival of traditional games like lacrosse and stickball, examining their cultural significance and adaptation. It then explores the experiences of Indigenous athletes in mainstream sports, addressing issues like racism and cultural appropriation, while also showcasing successes.

 
Case studies across North America, Australia, and New Zealand illustrate these points, emphasizing how sports become a stage for political activism and asserting Indigenous rights. Through ethnographic research and interviews, Sports and Indigenous Pride presents a unique perspective on Indigenous agency in shaping their sporting experiences. It moves beyond challenges to highlight resilience and determination in reclaiming cultural heritage through sports.

 
The book demonstrates that athletic participation fosters pride, cohesion, and well-being, and that sports have profound social and political implications for Indigenous communities.

Bombing Hitler's Hometown - The...

Mike Croissant

In April 1945, Linz was one of Nazi Germany's most vital assets. It was a crucial transportation hub and communications center, with railyards brimming with war materiel destined for the front lines. Linz was also the town Hitler claimed as home and had long intended to remake as the cultural capital of Europe, filling its planned Fuehrermuseum with world-famous art stolen from his conquered territories. 
 
 
  
Inevitably, Linz was also one of the most heavily defended targets remaining in Europe. The airmen of the Fifteenth Air Force were a mix of seasoned veterans and newcomers. As their mission was unveiled in the predawn hours of April 25th, audible groans and muffled expletives passed many lips. The reality of that mission would prove more brutal than any imagined. 
 
 
  
Drawing on interviews with dozens of America's last surviving World War II veterans, as well as previously unpublished sources, Mike Croissant compellingly relates one of the war's last truly untold stories—a gripping chronicle of warfare, the death of Nazi Germany, and the beginning of the Cold War. It is also a timeless tale of courage and terror, loss and redemption, humanity and savagery.

The 'Hood Comes First - Race...

Murray Forman

The 'Hood Comes First looks at the increasingly specific emphasis on real neighborhoods and streets in rap music and hip hop culture as an urgent response to the cultural and geographical ghettoization of black urban communities. Examining rap music, along with ancillary hip hop media including radio, music videos, rap press and the cinematic 'hood genre, Murray Forman analyzes hip hop culture's varying articulations of the terms "ghetto," "inner-city," and "the 'hood," and how these spaces, both real and imaginary, are used to define individual and collective identity.Negotiating academic, corporate, and "street" discourses, Forman assesses the dynamics between race, social space and youth. Race, class and national identification are recast and revised within rap's spatial discourse, concluding with the construction of "the 'hood," a social and geographic symbol that has become central to concepts of hip hop authenticity. Additionally, the book analyzes the processes within the music and culture industries through which hip hop has been amplified and disseminated from the 'hood to international audiences.
