Beschreibung

In "Life Among the Piutes," Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins presents a compelling autobiographical account that intricately weaves personal narrative with a broader historical context. Through her vivid prose, Hopkins explores the struggles and resilience of the Northern Paiute people amid the encroachment of Euro-American settlers. The text serves as both a sociocultural document and a poignant critique of U.S. government policies impacting Native American tribes, thus placing it within the tradition of Indigenous literature that seeks to reclaim voice and agency in the face of colonial injustices. Winnemucca'Äôs eloquent storytelling is interspersed with cultural teachings, providing an educational lens into the rich practices and beliefs of her people. Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins, an influential figure and one of the first Native American women to publish a book in the United States, drew from her own experiences as an educator and advocate for Native American rights. Her passion for justice and preservation of her culture stems from her family'Äôs history and her firsthand experiences with the devastating consequences of U.S. territorial expansion. Winnemucca's intermingling of memoir and cultural history makes her work not only personal but also representative of the wider Native American narrative. I highly recommend "Life Among the Piutes" for readers interested in Indigenous perspectives, historical narratives, and the intersection of personal and collective identity. This profound work challenges assumptions and enriches understanding of the complexity of Native American experiences, making it essential reading for scholars, students, and anyone seeking to engage with the voices of marginalized communities.

    Do you feel disconnected? Lonely? Sick and tired of being sick and tired? Long before COVID-19 emerged, researchers were reporting that united states citizens were having less sex. Some even going so far as to call it a “sex apocalypse”. Throughout this book, Dr. bird explores not only how and why this phenomenon occurred, but also unboxes foundationally regifted social, relational, and technological u.s. misinformation(s) and disinformation(s), which have devolved into our digital and increasingly algorithmic envirusment. To do so, first, they argue that our dominant ideas of intelligence have always been limited. Then, they connect those logics to escalating environmental crises. Third, Dr. bird reveals how our major ideas of relational intelligence have been tainted by these widely accepted human misconceptions. And, not only that, but that this mentality has been copy and pasted across nearly everything that we do and love. In doing so, Dr. bird makes clear how the envirusment era presents us abundant opportunities to understand how, in numerous violent taken for granted ways, an idea that the “body is a machine” has infected our lifestyles, sickening, disabling, and poisoning us all to death for profit. Yet, in new viral forms, instead of liberatory solutions, the richest continue to invest in more inhumane artificial intelligence. Instead, Dr. bird insists current problems cannot be solved without transformational human solutions, reminding us that we all hold and can embrace our authenticity, reflecting on our life’s knowledge, to fix this shit.

    With hindsight, the victory of Parliamentarian forces over the Royalists in the English Civil War may seem inevitable but this outcome was not a foregone conclusion. Timothy Venning explores many of the turning points and discusses how they might so easily have played out differently. 
     
     
     
    What if, for example, Charles I had capitalized on his victory at Edgehill by attacking London without delay? Could this have ended the war in 1642? His actual advance on the capital in 1643 failed but came close to causing a Parliamentarian collapse—how could it have succeeded and what then? Among the many other scenarios, full consideration is given to the role of Ireland (what if Papal meddling had not prevented Irish Catholics aiding Charles?) and Scotland (how might Montrose's Scottish loyalists have neutralized the Covenanters?). The author analyzes the plausible possibilities in each thread, throwing light on the role of chance and underlying factors in the real outcome, as well as what might easily have been different.

    Black men must understand that religion or their faith is instrumental in their lives, and it affects their decisions and encourages them in times of trouble. Although black men have made economic and educational improvements in the past, there are still problems that make black men today more depressed, stressed, and sad about their current conditions. The stereotypes that all black men are irresponsible, make babies, leave their families behind, and create impediments to success, love, and economic stability, are wrong. Black men have feelings, from the obdurate gang banger to the father who works two jobs to support his family, while the pressure of the world sits on their dreams like an anchor pulling them toward defeat. 
      However, black men are trying to change their lives, and what they do not need, is outside influences obstructing their desire to positively change. Yes, many black men are angry, and many black men are tired of negative and racist misinformation concerning them and their communities. This is the most beloved book on real black men's issues TRYING and DOING positive things to atone and avert from their past mistakes.
