Sinopse

'When Wilderness was King' is an interesting book about the Fort Dearborn Massacre orThe Battle of Fort Dearborn.It was an engagement between United States troops and Potawatomi Native Americans that occurred on August 15, 1812, near Fort Dearborn in what is now Chicago, Illinois (at that time, wilderness in the Illinois Territory). The battle, which occurred during the War of 1812, followed the evacuation of the fort as ordered by the commander of the United States Army of the Northwest, William Hull. The battle lasted about 15 minutes and resulted in a complete victory for the Native Americans. After the battle, Fort Dearborn was burned down. Some of the soldiers and settlers who had been taken captive were later ransomed. Following the battle, the federal government became convinced that all Indians had to be removed from the territory and the vicinity of any settlements, as settlers continued to migrate to the area. The fort was rebuilt in 1816. 
Excerpt:
"Surely it was no longer ago than yesterday. I had left the scythe lying at the edge of the long grass, and gone up through the rows of nodding Indian corn to the house, seeking a draught of cool water from the spring. It was hot in the July sunshine; the thick forest on every side intercepted the breeze, and I had been at work for some hours. How pleasant and inviting the little river looked in the shade of the great trees, while, as I paused a moment bending over the high bank, I could see a lazy pike nosing about among the twisted roots below."

    “Obey the president. Accept his authority.” 
The greatest presidential secret isn’t a UFO sighting or a military conspiracy—it’s the presidential sex island east of Washington, D.C. 
I was just a janitor at the White House, but the president took an interest in me. He got me on my knees. He made me smell his presidential musk. He made me wear the First Lady’s used clothing. 
But I didn’t realize it was all a job interview. 
Now, we’re on his jet heading to the island. He wants to add me to his collection of obedient young men. 
Here in the sky, he’s breaking me down. He’s preparing me for a life of pure, unyielding, eternal devotion. 
I’m ready to serve my country and its glorious leader.

    Offering both a framework and a set of practices that are grounded in different nonviolence traditions, Heart at the Center asks listeners to consider what a pedagogy of nonviolence looks like, sounds like, and feels like in the classroom. 
 
 
 
Written with warmth, expertise, and humility, Mike Tinoco invites us into his classroom, drawing on stories from his own life and powerful examples from civil rights movement leaders to explore questions such as: 
 
 
 
● How do we create classrooms and schools that are grounded in needs and match our vision for the kind of world we dream of? 
 
 
 
● How can we challenge conventional classroom management practices, welcome conflict, and nurture relationships with and amongst our students to foster positive peace? 
 
 
 
● How can we embed love in our curriculum and be inclusive of our students' lives, centering community, healing, and justice? 
 
 
 
● How can we slow down and take care of ourselves without compromising the urgency to fight for justice? 
 
 
 
Heart at the Center is a book for educators who believe that a different kind of classroom, a different kind of school, and a different kind of world are possible.

    Subjectified is a book about subjects, objects, and verbs. It is also a book about clothing-optional resorts, masturbation circles, and sex parties. 
 
 
 
Suzannah Weiss takes the listener through her adventures as a sex and relationship writer to explore how we can create a world with less objectification and more subjectification—placing women and other marginalized groups in the subject role of sentences and actions. Offering a deeply personal critique of sexual empowerment movements, Weiss presents a way forward that focuses on what women desire, not what men desire from them. Subjectified calls for women everywhere to inhabit their bodies and hearts—to look through their own eyes and speak as "I." 
 
 
 
The book is for everybody wanting to understand themselves as subjects. Wholeheartedly, the author invites you to follow her search for subjecthood and, should you desire, forge your own path out of objecthood.
