James Mooney

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "Calendar History of the Kiowa Indians," James Mooney meticulously chronicles the rich cultural tapestry and historical evolution of the Kiowa people through an innovative blend of ethnographic narrative and historical documentation. Drawing upon his extensive fieldwork and interviews with Kiowa elders, Mooney presents a compelling account that integrates oral traditions with meticulous attention to detail, offering insights into their complex social structure, rituals, and seasonal cycles. The book, written in the early 20th century, is situated within the broader context of American ethnology, reflecting a burgeoning interest in indigenous cultures during a time when many were facing significant historical upheaval. James Mooney was a pioneering ethnographer whose work primarily centered on Native American cultures. His dedication to preserving indigenous histories stemmed from his belief in the importance of marginalized voices in the historical narrative. Having spent significant time among the Kiowa, Mooney's intimate and respectful approach highlights his commitment to understanding their worldview, making his insights not only knowledgeable but deeply nuanced regarding their traditions and transitions during a period of change. For scholars and enthusiasts of indigenous studies alike, "Calendar History of the Kiowa Indians" is a crucial work that elucidates the interplay of history and culture within the Kiowa community. Mooney's eloquent prose and commitment to authenticity make this book an invaluable resource for those seeking to understand the resilience and heritage of the Kiowa people.

The American Operations in WW2:...

Clayton D. Laurie

World War II was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind. Highly relevant today, World War II has much to teach us, not only about the profession of arms, but also about military preparedness, global strategy, and combined operations in the coalition war against fascism. This book follows military operations of the US Army in Italy from 22 January to 9 September 1944. 
Rome was quiet on the morning of 4 June 1944. Propaganda leaflets dropped during the early morning hours by order of the commander of the Allied 15th Army Group, General Sir Harold R. L. G. Alexander, urged Romans "to stand shoulder-to-shoulder to protect the city from destruction and to defeat our common enemies." Even though the retreating Germans had declared Rome an open city, citizens were urged to do everything possible to protect public services, transportation facilities, and communications. "Citizens of Rome," the leaflets declared, "this is not the time for demonstrations. Obey these directions and go on with your regular work. Rome is yours! Your job is to save the city, ours is to destroy the enemy."

Mussolini in Myth and Memory -...

Paul Corner

Mussolini has rarely been taken seriously as a totalitarian dictator; Hitler and Stalin have always cast too long a shadow. But what was a negative judgement on the Duce, considered innocuous and ineffective, has begun to work to his advantage. As has occurred with many other European dictators, present-day popular memory of Mussolini is increasingly indulgent; in Italy and elsewhere he is remembered as a strong, decisive leader. Mussolini in Myth and Memory argues against this rehabilitation, documenting the inefficiencies, corruption, and violence of a highly repressive regime and exploding the myths of fascist good government. But this short study does not limit itself to setting the record straight; it seeks also to answer the question of why there is nostalgia for dictatorial rule. Linking past history and present memory, Corner's analysis constructs a picture of the realities of the Italian regime and examines the more general problem of why, in a moment of evident crisis of western democracy, people look for strong leadership and take refuge in the memory of past dictatorships. If, in this book, Fascism is placed in its totalitarian context and Mussolini emerges firmly in the company of his fellow dictators, the study also shows how a memory of the past, formed through reliance on illusion and myth, can affect the politics of the present.
