Eskimo Life

Fridtjof Nansen

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

'Eskimo Life' is an account of the culture and society of the indigenous peoples of Greenland at the end of the 19th century. Author Fridtjof Nansen displays deep empathy for the Eskimo people and documents their lives, beliefs, and traditions with great detail. From kayaks and winter-houses to food and dainties, readers will gain insight into the daily life and experiences of the Eskimo. While the book highlights the impact of Western influence, particularly through Christian missionaries, Nansen also challenges the notion of Western superiority and the assumption that Christianity is inherently better than native religions. This fascinating book is a must-read for anyone interested in indigenous cultures and their history.

Until We Reckon - Violence Mass...

Danielle Sered

In the eloquent tradition of Bryan Stevenson's Just Mercy, an award-winning leader in the movement to end mass incarceration takes on the vexing problem of violent crime.Although over half the people incarcerated in America today have committed violent offenses, the focus of reformers has been almost entirely on nonviolent and drug offenses. Danielle Sered's brilliant and groundbreaking Until We Reckon steers directly and unapologetically into the question of violence, offering approaches that will help end mass incarceration and increase safety.Widely recognized as one of the leading proponents of a restorative approach to violent crime, Sered asks us to reconsider the purposes of incarceration and argues persuasively that the needs of survivors of violent crime are better met by asking people who commit violence to accept responsibility for their actions and make amends in ways that are meaningful to those they have hurt — none of which happens in the context of a criminal trial or a prison sentence.Critically, Sered argues that the reckoning owed is not only on the part of those who have committed violence, but also by our nation's overreliance on incarceration to produce safety — at great cost to communities, survivors, racial equity, and the very fabric of our democracy.
