Beschreibung

Samoan Conflicts explores how Samoa became a focal point in the geopolitical struggles between Germany, Britain, and the United States during the age of imperialism. This book examines the impact of colonial rivalries on the Samoan people, demonstrating how external powers manipulated internal political structures for their strategic and economic gain. One intriguing fact is that the Berlin Act of 1889, intended to stabilize the region, instead intensified the competition among these powers and fueled Samoan civil wars. The book highlights the resilience of Samoan nationalism in the face of foreign intervention.

 
The book progresses chronologically, from pre-colonial Samoan society and initial interactions with Europeans, to the escalating rivalry between the colonial powers. It then traces Samoa's path towards independence, emphasizing the rise of Samoan nationalism and the eventual achievement of self-governance.

 
By analyzing diplomatic correspondence, missionary accounts, and indigenous oral histories, Samoan Conflicts offers a multidisciplinary perspective on Samoan history, drawing connections to international relations, political science, and post-colonial studies. This balanced approach acknowledges both the destructive forces of colonialism and the agency of the Samoan people in shaping their future.

A Miscellany Of Men - The third...

G K Chesterton

"before I finally desert the illusions of rationalism for the actualities of romance, I should very much like to write one last roaring, raging book telling all the rationalists not to be so utterly irrational... Do not talk such bosh. I implore you, I supplicate you not to talk such bosh. Utterly and absolutely abolish all such bosh—and we may yet begin to discuss these public questions properly." -GKC"the Chesterton wit and charm and gentle satire [and] hard-hitting controversy. And you will also find a distinct thread that ties it all together. [...] first published in 1912, the essays ... often refer to current events and personalities from the early 20th century: coal strikes and railway strikes, game laws, women’s suffrage, and British Imperialism. ... in every case the larger point being made is very clear and is not tied to a time and place – unless it is our time and place. Chesterton’s mere observations of an event, whether in a headline or outside his window could be expounded upon into huge timely treatises. It is because truth has ramifications. And because it is true.The old controversies are still relevant. But each question points to a larger question. How do we assure the dignity and basic rights of the laborer? For whom does he labor: himself or some remote rich man? Does voting make any difference when our choices are so limited, when the choices themselves are not our choices but someone else’s? What is the nature of real democracy?" - Dale Ahlquist"These old articles of mine because they cover a very controversial period, in which I was in nearly all the controversies, whether I was visible there or no. And I wish to gather up into this last article a valedictory violence about all such things; and then pass to where, beyond these voices, there is peace--or in other words, to the writing of Penny Dreadfuls; a noble and much-needed work." -GKC

Educating for Purposeful Life -...

S. David Brazer, Michael B. Matsuda

Educating for Purposeful Life documents positive change within the Anaheim Union High School District, whose overarching mission is to prepare high school graduates who possess a clear sense of purpose and the capacity to achieve their goals. Superintendent Michael Matsuda and education consultant David Brazer lay out the district's innovative approaches to organizing, leading, teaching, and learning. They demonstrate how education policy, organization theory, and external partnerships work together to scaffold student success, resulting in greater high school graduation rates and four-year college matriculation and persistence rates. 
 
 
  
This work illuminates the district's Career Preparedness Systems Framework, which integrates affective and cognitive development opportunities, trade and professional development programs, and community engagement efforts. Matsuda and Brazer show how this framework, combined with a strengths-based approach, helps meet the educational needs of all students, including those from traditionally underserved populations. 
 
 
  
Presenting secondary education as a means to support democracy, address employability gaps, and elevate student voice and purpose, this thought-provoking work provides ample ideas for how other districts might engage in educating for purposeful life.
