Sinopsis

In "South Africa and the Transvaal War (Vol. 1-8)," Louis Creswicke provides a comprehensive chronicle of the South African conflict that encapsulates both the sociopolitical intricacies and the dramatic human experiences of the period. Creswicke's meticulous attention to detail and vivid narrative style immerse readers in the tumult of the war, employing a blend of historical analysis and contemporary accounts that highlight the complexities of imperialism, nationalism, and local dynamics. The eight-volume work stands as a significant literary contribution within the genre of war literature, offering insights not only into military strategies but also into the cultural ramifications of the conflict, reflective of the broader themes of colonialism in the late 19th century. Creswicke, an English journalist and author, was profoundly influenced by the political tensions and colonial ambitions of his time. His firsthand experiences and extensive travels in South Africa provided him with unique perspectives that shaped his understanding of the conflict and its players. With a commitment to portraying the multifaceted nature of the war, Creswicke sought to elevate public discourse regarding the implications of imperial rule and the local struggles faced by South Africans. This monumental work is highly recommended for scholars, students, and general readers interested in military history, colonial studies, and South African heritage. Creswicke'Äôs thorough documentation and evocative storytelling not only render a rich tapestry of the Transvaal War but also invite reflection on the enduring legacies of such conflicts in contemporary society.

    Long before it came to be known as Duluth, the land at the western tip of Lake Superior was known to the Ojibwe as Onigamiising, "the place of the small portage." There the Ojibwe lived in keeping with the seasons, moving among different camps for hunting and fishing, for cultivating and gathering, for harvesting wild rice and maple sugar. In Onigamiising Linda LeGarde Grover accompanies us through this cycle of the seasons, one year in a lifelong journey on the path to Mino Bimaadiziwin, the living of a good life. 
     
      
     
    In fifty short essays, Grover reflects on the spiritual beliefs and everyday practices that carry the Ojibwe through the year and connect them to this northern land of rugged splendor. As the four seasons unfold—from Ziigwan (Spring) through Niibin and Dagwaagin to the silent, snowy promise of Biboon—the award-winning author writes eloquently of the landscape and the weather, work and play, ceremony and tradition and family ways, from the homey moments shared over meals to the celebrations that mark life's great events. Now a grandmother, a Nokomis, beginning the fourth season of her life, Grover draws on a wealth of stories and knowledge accumulated over the years to evoke the Ojibwe experience of Onigamiising, past and present, for all time.
