Sign Language Among North American Indians

Garrick Mallery

Sinopse

In "Sign Language Among North American Indians," Garrick Mallery meticulously explores the intricate system of sign language used by various Indigenous tribes across North America. Through a comprehensive analysis, Mallery delves into the diverse linguistic elements of these visual-gestural languages, highlighting their cultural significance and social function. Drawing from an array of ethnographic accounts and linguistic research, the book enriches the understanding of Native American communication, presenting a unique perspective on the interplay between language and culture. Mallery's scholarly approach is complemented by detailed illustrations and observational studies, situating the work within the broader context of anthropological and linguistic discourse of the late 19th century. Garrick Mallery, a prominent figure in the fields of anthropology and linguistics, was driven by a profound interest in Indigenous cultures during a period marked by significant research into Native American languages. His deep engagement with the Native populations and persistent inquiries into their methods of communication inform this seminal work, making it both a product of its time and a pioneering exploration of sign language. Mallery's contributions extend beyond this book, as he sought to elevate understanding and appreciation of Indigenous knowledge systems through his research. I highly recommend "Sign Language Among North American Indians" to scholars, linguists, and anyone interested in the rich tapestry of Native American cultures. Mallery's groundbreaking research not only sheds light on the complexities of Indigenous sign language but also serves as an essential resource for understanding the broader implications of communication within these societies. This book is invaluable for those seeking to appreciate the cultural dimensions of language and the profound ways in which it shapes human interaction.

Tories The: A Tragedy

Henry Morris

'Fantastic' – James O'Brien
The brilliant mind behind the Secret Tory presents 14 years of Tory rule – as told by William Shakespeare
'O, for a muse of fire that would ascend
The brightest heaven of pretention!
A kingdom for a stage, Tories to act,
Oligarchs to behold the swelling scene!’
So begins The Tories: A Tragedy. In this brilliant new work of political satire, Henry Morris presents fourteen years of Conservative (mis)rule in the only form in which such misfortunes could be portrayed: as a Shakespearean play.
In five acts that take in five prime ministers, The Tories: A Tragedy is a captivatingly realised Jacobean tragedy, replete with Machiavellian manoeuvrings, hilarious mechanicals and poignant verse. Publishing in the shadow of the most significant election since the Tories came to power in 2010, this exhilarating, original book is an alternative history of a disastrous reign – a drama that will appeal to those who love Shakespeare, comedy, Shakespeare’s comedies, and those who simply love to laugh at the Tory party.
With a keen eye for parodies and humor, Morris masterfully weaves ideologies of conservatism and liberalism into a theater of politics. His playwriting process, a performing art in itself, brings to life the parties and their top players in a non-fiction narrative that is as entertaining as it is enlightening.
For fans of Robert Jobson (Diana), Rory Stewart (The Marches), Richard Osman (The World Cup Of Everything), The Secret Barrister (Nothing But The Truth), and Tina Brown (The Palace Papers).
