Beschreibung

In "The Apache Expedition in the Sierra Madre," John Gregory Bourke presents a meticulously detailed account of the 1886 military campaign against the Apache tribes in the rugged Sierra Madre mountains. Bourke's narrative blends a reflective, first-person account with a keen analysis of the geopolitical and cultural dynamics of the American Southwest. His engaging prose, rich in descriptive imagery, allows readers to vicariously experience the harsh realities and moral dilemmas faced by soldiers and Native Americans alike during this turbulent period. Situating his work within the broader context of post-Civil War conflicts, Bourke's insights illuminate the complexities of frontier life and the perpetual struggle for land and identity. John Gregory Bourke, a seasoned officer and historian with extensive experience in the American West, draws upon his firsthand observations and interactions with both military personnel and Indigenous people. His commitment to nuanced representation stems from his profound respect for Apache culture, as well as his belief in the necessity of documenting the often-overlooked narratives of marginal communities. Bourke's background, which includes roles as a journalist and ethnographer, enriches his account, offering a multi-faceted view of a pivotal moment in American history. "The Apache Expedition in the Sierra Madre" is an essential read for historians, anthropologists, and anyone intrigued by the intersections of military history, Native American studies, and Western expansion. Bourke's sympathetic approach to a complex conflict invites readers to reflect on broader themes of colonization, cultural survival, and the moral ambiguities intrinsic to warfare. Engaging and thought-provoking, this book remains a vital contribution to the discourse surrounding America's frontier legacy.

    When tiny voices talk, three amazing things happen: they share surprising ideas and insights; they realise they are not so tiny; and they empower other tiny voices to talk too.Drawing on the winning formula of her Tiny Voice Talks podcasts, Toria Bono has compiled a great resource full of top tips and actionable advice from a range of tiny voices across the educational spectrum. The assembled voices speak on a broad range of topics relating to education and learner development - from mentoring, metacognitive skills and period education, to trauma-informed practice, nurturing curious learners and finding flow in the classroom.But above all, this book is a call to action for all those in our schools who have yet to find their voice to find it - and use it. There are big people with big voices (and big egos) in education, yet they are the minority. The majority consists of great people just getting on with doing great things - more often than not with people, not data, at the heart of their practice. This book inspires such people to find and use their voice; and when tiny voices talk to tiny voices, everyone wins. Suitable for teachers, teaching assistants and school leaders in all phases.

    Looking across time and the globe, a critical history of sexual violence—what causes it and how we overcome it. 
     
     
      
    Disgrace is the first truly global history of sexual violence. The book explores how sexual violence varies widely across time and place, from nineteenth-century peasant women in Ireland who were abducted as a way of forcing marriage, to date-raped high-school students in twentieth-century America, and from girls and women violated by Russian soldiers in 1945 to Dalit women raped by men of higher castes today. It delves into the factors that facilitate violence—including institutions, ideologies, and practices—but also gives voice to survivors and activists, drawing inspiration from their struggles. Ultimately, Joanna Bourke intends to forge a transnational feminism that will promote a more harmonious, equal, and rape—and violence-free world.
