Sinopse

Indigenous Clay Pottery explores the profound connection between indigenous cultures and their clay pottery traditions, revealing these objects as more than just utilitarian items. The book examines pottery as tangible expressions of cultural identity, technological innovation, and ecological adaptation across diverse communities globally. From the Americas to Africa and Asia, the book traces the evolution of pottery-making techniques, highlighting how environmental factors and social structures influenced these traditions. 

 
One intriguing aspect is the role of pottery designs, where motifs, patterns, and forms reflect cultural beliefs and social structures. The book's approach is interdisciplinary, combining archaeological findings, ethnographic studies, and indigenous perspectives to decolonize the study of pottery. It begins by introducing the raw materials, tools, and fundamental techniques, then delves into the symbolism and artistic expression within pottery designs. 

 
Finally, it explores the practical applications of clay pottery, such as cooking, food storage, and trade, emphasizing its contemporary relevance and potential for sustainable practices. It argues that pottery served as a cornerstone of daily life, with some cultures utilizing specific clay mixtures for water conservation in arid environments.

Every 90 Seconds - Our Common...

Anne P. DePrince

Every 90 seconds a woman is sexually assaulted. In that same minute and a half, another is a victim of domestic violence at the hands of a current or former intimate partner. Every sixteen hours, one of those intimate partners shoots and kills a woman. Nearly two in ten
women are stalked, while one in sixteen is raped during her first sexual experience. Despite these jaw-dropping statistics, collectively we are well practiced at seeing such acts as someone else’s problem. And yet, violence against women is tangled up with the most
frequently discussed and debated issues of our time: healthcare and education access, immigration, gun policies, economic security, and criminal justice reform—issues that impact us all, nearly every day.

In Every 90 Seconds, Anne P. DePrince argues that to end violence against women, we must fundamentally redefine how we engage with it—starting by abandoning the idea that violence is a problem involving only those who abuse or are abused. Instead, DePrince
illuminates how violence against women is inextricably linked to other issues that stoke our greatest passions. For instance, each time a woman requires emergency medical attention as a result of violence and abuse, our overburdened healthcare system bears an entirely
preventable cost. Meanwhile, the threat of violence is a significant cause of pressure on the US southern border, driving women and their families to seek safety far from home.

Violence against women also takes a stunning toll on the US economy by contributing to widespread poverty. Drawing on these and other complex examples, DePrince builds the case that this very complexity offers an opportunity for mobilizing ordinary people to work
to stop violence against women in a way we never have before. DePrince’s call to action arises out of the reality that when we address violence against women, we can make progress on a range of other significant issues that we care deeply about too.
