  A new concept for understanding the history of the American popular music industry. 
   
   
    
  Blacksound explores the sonic history of blackface minstrelsy and the racial foundations of American musical culture from the early 1800s through the turn of the twentieth century. With this namesake book, Matthew D. Morrison develops the concept of "Blacksound" to uncover how the popular music industry and popular entertainment in general in the United States arose out of slavery and blackface. 
   
   
    
  Blacksound as an idea is not the music or sounds produced by Black Americans but instead the material and fleeting remnants of their sounds and performances that have been co-opted and amalgamated into popular music. Morrison unpacks the relationship between performance, racial identity, and intellectual property to reveal how blackface minstrelsy scripts became absorbed into commercial entertainment through an unequal system of intellectual property and copyright laws. By introducing this foundational new concept in musicology, Blacksound highlights what is politically at stake—for creators and audiences alike—in revisiting the long history of American popular music.

  Are you struggling to understand yourself? Are you constantly fighting with your inner dialogue, trying to figure out what's true and real for you? Whatever it is that helps you come into your own, this book will guide you through the process. 
  Choosing your Self is a journey through the process of self-discovery, self-definition, and self-acceptance. It guides you through the stages necessary for getting to know yourself, understanding what you need for your own personal growth, finding out how to communicate with others in a way that honors who you are as well as what other people are saying and how to express your Truth in a way that is both truthful and respectful of other people. Choosing your Self helps you connect with whatever it is that has always been your guiding light but has been dimmed by fears of rejection or fears of abandonment. 
  I believe there is some way to define yourself that is right for you. And I believe there is a way to communicate with others that is right for you, too. In Choosing your Self, these discoveries are taken one step at a time, to make the process as smooth and clear as possible. 
  There are no magic formulas, no single-step solutions and no "quick fix". But if you're willing to work at it, if you're willing to go through the process of self-exploration, self-discovery, and acceptance (the process described in this book), I promise that you'll have a smoother journey on your road toward wholeness than many other people do. 
  This book covers:Understanding selfHow to engage in self-care activitiesHow to change negative thinking behaviorsPositive psychology and mindfulnessHow to solve negative thinking habits 
  And much more.

  Members of Eli Baxter’s generation are the last of the hunting and gathering societies living on Turtle Island. They are also among the last fluent speakers of the Anishinaabay language known as Anishinaabaymowin.
  		 
  Aki-wayn-zih is a story about the land and its spiritual relationship with the Anishinaabayg, from the beginning of their life on Miss-koh-tay-sih Minis (Turtle Island) to the present day. Baxter writes about Anishinaabay life before European contact, his childhood memories of trapping, hunting, and fishing with his family on traditional lands in Treaty 9 territory, and his personal experience surviving the residential school system. Examining how Anishinaabay Kih-kayn-daa-soh-win (knowledge) is an elemental concept embedded in the Anishinaabay language, Aki-wayn-zih explores history, science, math, education, philosophy, law, and spiritual teachings, outlining the cultural significance of language to Anishinaabay identity. Recounting traditional Ojibway legends in their original language, fables in which moral virtues double as survival techniques, and detailed guidelines for expertly trapping or ensnaring animals, Baxter reveals how the residential school system shaped him as an individual, transformed his family, and forever disrupted his reserve community and those like it.
  		 
  Through spiritual teachings, historical accounts, and autobiographical anecdotes, Aki-wayn-zih offers a new form of storytelling from the Anishinaabay point of view.

  Too Good to Be Altogether Lost -...

  Pamela Smith Hill

  Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the well-known Little House series, wrote stories from her childhood because they were "too good to be altogether lost." With the release of NBC's Little House on the Prairie series in 1974, Wilder was well on her way to becoming an international literary superstar. Simultaneously, however, the novels themselves began to slip from view, replaced by an onslaught of assumptions and questions about Wilder's values and politics and even about the books' authenticity. From the 1980s, a slow but steady critical crescendo began to erode Wilder's literary reputation. 
   
   
   
  In Too Good to Be Altogether Lost, Wilder expert Pamela Smith Hill dives back into the Little House books, closely examining Wilder's text, her characters, and their stories. Hill reveals that these gritty, emotionally complex novels depict a realistic coming of age for a girl in the American West. This realism in Wilder's novels, once perceived as a fatal flaw, can lead to essential discussions not only about the past but about the present—and the underlying racism young people encounter when reading today. Hill's fresh approach to Wilder's books shows how this author forever changed the literary landscape of children's and young adult literature in ways that remain vital and relevant today.
