Sinopsis

Mesa Threads Spin explores the evolution of Navajo weaving, an art form deeply intertwined with cultural preservation, economic necessity, and artistic innovation. The book examines how this centuries-old tradition adapted to the demands of the tourist trade, highlighting the ingenuity of Navajo weavers. Readers will discover how the introduction of sheep and wool by the Spanish irrevocably shaped Navajo weaving traditions, and how weaving served as a cornerstone of Navajo society, linking spirituality, social structure, and economic survival.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the historical context of Navajo weaving before analyzing specific designs tailored for tourist consumption. It delves into the roles of trading posts and government policies in shaping the market. Ultimately, this study illustrates how Navajo weaving, often seen as commercialized, truly represents a resourceful adaptation that preserves cultural identity while navigating economic challenges.

 
The final sections cover contemporary issues like copyright and fair trade, offering a balanced perspective on cultural commodification.

By the time he was three years old, he had been hospitalized more times than she could count. He would get better and then suddenly relapse with no reasonable explanation.

    House of String takes an autobiographical look at childhood before television, Internet and Smart phones. It describes inventive games such as billycart escapades, creating a backyard circus and covering bedrooms in a network of elasticised string. It embraces the sense of freedom where nobody looked at the clock during  weekends other than to return home from the parks and streets in time for lunch and dinner. It is told in a humourous style with particular references to life in Heidelberg, Melbourne, Australia in the 1950s and early 1960s.
