Choctaw Nationalism - Choktaw Culture Language and History

Kennith H York

Sinopsis

The Rich Culture and History of the Choctaw Tribe - and the Remarkable Mississippi Band...The Choctaw Indians are one of the oldest tribes in the Americas, dating from the era when the woolly mammoth roamed the Southeast. They are the native inhabitants of the area now comprising the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi. The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians still continues to speak their own language, maintain their unique culture, and live on their indigenous land in Mississippi. In this beautifully researched book, Dr. Kennith York draws upon oral traditions, historical documents, and accounts of observers and scholars to illuminate the prehistory, culture, language, and history of the Chahta Okla People. Join this resilient, creative, and memorable band as they survive the Spanish terrorist attack of 1540, the French and British invasion of the 1700s, the US Government Policy of Indian Removal of 1830, the Great Depression of the 1930s, the Civil Rights Era of the 1960s, and the current economic recession, which threatens the survival of 10,300 Choctaws. Recognized as community leaders in community and economic development through business, education, health care, gaming, and tourism, the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians stand out as a shining example of a people striving to embrace their heritage while working within the constraints placed upon them by the US government. This valuable book provides an update to John Swanton's work on the Choctaw Indians.

The Gunpowder Empires and Modern...

Marshall G.S. Hodgson

The final installment in the groundbreaking The Venture of Islam series, “a monumental three-volume interpretation of Islamic civilization” (Review of Middle East Studies).   The Venture of Islam has been honored as a magisterial work of the mind since its publication in early 1975. In this three-volume study, illustrated with charts and maps, Hodgson traces and interprets the historical development of Islamic civilization from before the birth of Muhammad to the middle of the twentieth century. This work grew out of the famous course on Islamic civilization that Hodgson created and taught for many years at the University of Chicago. In this concluding volume of The Venture of Islam, Hodgson describes the second flowering of Islam: the Safavi, Timuri, and Ottoman empires. The final part of the volume analyzes the widespread Islamic heritage in today’s world.Praise for The Venture of Islam  “This is a nonpareil work, not only because of its command of its subject but also because it demonstrates how, ideally, history should be written.” —The New Yorker   “In placing Islamic society in a context encompassing not only Islam outside the Middle East proper but contemporary societies such as western Europe and China, he provides a prospective sorely missed in most works on the subject.” —Linda C. Rose, History

Joseph Campbell Quotes

Joseph Campbell

Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
Joseph Campbell was more than a scholar—he was a storyteller of the human soul, a guide through the myths that shape our lives, and a seeker of the eternal truths hidden within every culture. His words resonate not just as academic insight, but as living wisdom, illuminating the path for those who dare to follow their bliss. 
This audiobook is not merely a collection of quotes; it is an invitation—to embark on the Hero’s Journey, to see the patterns that unite all myths, and to recognize the divine adventure unfolding within your own life. Campbell’s insights draw from the ancient and the modern, the East and the West, weaving a tapestry of meaning that transcends time and place. 
Through his words, we discover that mythology is not a relic of the past, but a mirror reflecting our deepest desires, fears, and aspirations. We are reminded that every struggle, every trial, and every transformation is part of a universal story—one that we are all living. 
Let these words be a guide. Whether you are standing at the threshold of your own adventure, searching for deeper meaning, or simply seeking inspiration, Campbell’s voice echoes through time to remind us: 
"Follow your bliss, and doors will open where there were only walls." 
Now, let the journey begin. 
This audiobook includes an "ambient version" set to meditative music for your listening pleasure.

Intimate Subjects - Touch and...

Simeon Koole

An insightful history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Britain told through a single sense: touch.
When, where, and who gets to touch and be touched, and who decides? What do we learn through touch? How does touch bring us closer together or push us apart? These are urgent contemporary questions, but they have their origins in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Britain, when new urban encounters compelled intense discussion of what touch was, and why it mattered. In this vividly written book, Simeon Koole excavates the history of these concerns and reveals how they continue to shape ideas about “touch” in the present.
Intimate Subjects takes us to the bustling railway stations, shady massage parlors, all-night coffee stalls, and other shared spaces where passengers, customers, vagrants, and others came into contact, leading to new understandings of touch. We travel in crammed subway cars, where strangers negotiated the boundaries of personal space. We visit tea shops where waitresses made difficult choices about autonomy and consent. We enter classrooms in which teachers wondered whether blind children could truly grasp the world and labs in which neurologists experimented on themselves and others to unlock the secrets of touch. We tiptoe through London’s ink-black fogs, in which disoriented travelers became newly conscious of their bodies and feared being accosted by criminals. Across myriad forgotten encounters such as these, Koole shows, touch remade what it meant to be embodied—as well as the meanings of disability, personal boundaries, and scientific knowledge.
With imagination and verve, Intimate Subjects offers a new way of theorizing the body and the senses, as well as a new way of thinking about embodiment and vulnerability today.

Creating a Culture of Repair -...

Robert Turner, Liz Theoharis

Many people are aware of the injustices Black Americans have suffered over the centuries but feel powerless when it comes to repairing the harm done. 
 
 
 
The inequality remains even after laws and policies have been corrected. Calculating and implementing financial reparations will require large-scale government action, which can feel out of reach or overwhelming for the average person. Robert Turner provides an accessible guide for individuals and groups wanting to influence significant institutional action while also acting on their own to repair the effects of racial injustice in our communities, churches, and spheres of influence. Dividing into categories of individual, social, institutional, and spiritual repair, Turner offers the longest list of reparations currently published, with more than one hundred actions listeners can begin practicing and advocating for to help balance economic injustice, undo hurtful decisions from decades past, and rally public support for bold and principled legislation.
