Sinopse

In "Indian Wars in North Carolina," Enoch Lawrence Lee provides an exhaustive analysis of the often-overlooked conflicts between Native American tribes and European settlers in the Southeastern United States. Employing a meticulously researched narrative style, Lee intertwines historical accounts, personal testimonies, and contemporary analyses to illuminate the complex socio-political landscape of 18th and 19th century North Carolina. The book serves as both a historical record and a critical commentary, exploring themes of dispossession, cultural resilience, and the often-unrecognized legacy of Native American struggles. Lee, a descendant of both Native American and settler families, brings an intimate understanding of the subject matter to his scholarship. His background informs a balanced perspective, as he reflects on the intersecting narratives of oppression and survival. This rich heritage drives his commitment to uncovering these buried histories, providing readers a nuanced portrait of the cultural and historical dynamics in North Carolina. Recommended for historians, students, and general readers alike, "Indian Wars in North Carolina" is a compelling and insightful work that not only educates but also invites reflection on themes of identity and resistance. Lee's deft storytelling and scholarly rigor make this book essential for anyone seeking to understand the intricate tapestry of American history.

    Creating a Nation That Is Fair for Us All 
    Cindy Mathers has experienced firsthand the impact of our traumatised, fragmented and broken systems on First Nations people, and indeed us all. She has been mentored by and worked collaboratively with First Nations people for over two decades, learning through respect, deep listening, and truth telling. 
    After repeated experiences of burnout, she began searching for solutions outside of current systems. Through personal and ancestral healing, extensive research, and study, she learned that the disrespect and disregard of human rights of the First Nations people at the time of colonization created wounds that remain in our collective psyche and are passed down through generations. 
    In DELVE-ing into Cultural Humility, Mathers shares a learning pathway forward, based on respect and deep listening. She created the DELVE formula as a collaborative way to implement change in our nation: 
    ●       Deconstruct—how did we get here as a nation? 
    ●       Explore—the impact of abuse of Human Rights on us all 
    ●       Listen—and learn, with deep presence to the stories of First Nations people 
    ●       Viable—what First Nations-led / collaborative initiatives are working? 
    ●       Energise—what works and fund community-led, place-based initiatives 
    In these pages, you will see a snapshot of what is possible when we engage the DELVE formula. By applying this pathway to her real-life projects and experiences, Mathers has created a succinct and practical resource for those who wish to learn Cultural Humility and become part of creating a new nation that respects the Human Rights of all.

    A manifesto on the state of the non-profit arts sector and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity leaders have to redefine the business as an investment in our shared social purpose.
    		 
    “The Audacity of Relevance isn’t just for arts leaders but for artists, philanthropists, and arts-loving audiences. It provides a modern look at our organizations and invites us to break the echo chambers we operate in. By forcing us to see the world differently, Alex Sarian asks us to rethink our purpose by leaning into our shared humanity.” — Sarah Arison, Trustee, MoMA
    		 
    The arts and culture sector is in crisis—a crisis of relevance. Whether it’s grappling with dwindling audience sizes, shifting trends in philanthropy, or addressing social challenges, experts have been documenting this slow decline for decades.
    		 
    At the core of Alex Sarian’s international career is the conviction that cultural organizations must embrace a greater civic purpose and build a new business model—one based on the social impact of the arts.
    		 
    Throughout The Audacity of Relevance, Sarian engages in conversations with leaders from across industries to paint a potential future for arts organizations—a future built on measuring our sector’s success by how positively we can influence the many local communities that surround us.
    		 
    It doesn’t matter if you’re a seasoned executive or are just beginning in your career—the principles and anecdotes in this book will inspire you to see the world of arts and culture for what it truly is: filled with endless possibilities for reinvention.

    Value Price and Profit

    Karl Marx

    **Value, Price, and Profit** by Karl Marx is a seminal work that distills the core principles of Marxist economic theory into a concise and accessible format. Originally delivered as a speech to the General Council of the First International in 1865, the text examines the dynamics of labor, wages, and profit within a capitalist system. Marx explains how the value of commodities is rooted in the labor required for their production, and he critiques the mechanisms by which capitalists extract surplus value from workers to generate profit. In doing so, he challenges the notion that raising wages alone can resolve systemic inequality, emphasizing the structural exploitation inherent in capitalism. This work serves as both an introduction to Marx's economic ideas and a call to action for addressing labor exploitation and economic injustice.

Jameson analyzes the evidence, including use of new technology to produce a compelling case for Billy's survival. Heralded by Booklist as an enjoyable reexamination of a legendary piece of Americana, this book traces the life of the famous desperado and the controversy that still is debated today.
