Book Planetary Hinterlands

Download or read book Planetary Hinterlands written by Pamila Gupta and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-11 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book considers the concept of the hinterland as a crucial tool for understanding the global and planetary present as a time defined by the lasting legacies of colonialism, increasing labor precarity under late capitalist regimes, and looming climate disasters. Traditionally seen to serve a (colonial) port or market town, the hinterland here becomes a lens to attend to the times and spaces shaped and experienced across the received categories of the urban, rural, wilderness or nature. In straddling these categories, the concept of the hinterland foregrounds the human and more-than-human lively processes and forms of care that go on even in sites defined by capitalist extraction and political abandonment. Bringing together scholars from the humanities and social sciences, the book rethinks hinterland materialities, affectivities, and ecologies across places and cultural imaginations, Global North and South, urban and rural, and land and water.

Book excerpt: As if by magic, miracles abound at Magnolia Gardens, with its Dragonfly Pond, a place which in ancient times was known as A Homeland Dell. Yet, can two cousins and their ancestor by the same name, an ancient queen, unite, to make a difference in the world? Can they save lives, while solving Blue Slough mysteries? Will Queen Rachael Adele find her missing father, love, and save the pirates? The three superhero Rachaels miraculously join forces, from an ancient era to a modern one, to help fight hunger, lack of jobs, and save Ancient Orchard. Fortunately, when well-preserved parchments and archaeological treasures are found in Magnolia Manor, revealing ancient ancestry and secrets, we discover the two cousins and queen encouraged their hard-working family and friends with art, artifacts, food, music, reading, writing, social gatherings, and theater. The modern day cousins inspire others to join their fundraising efforts for smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and radon monitoring kits, to save lives within Velvet Villa Village, by joining their Team Evergreen, first suggested by Queen Rachael to her clan and villagers centuries ago, and inspire The Grand Group Singers, in a place where laughter, learning, and love prevail, while pond ghost mysteries are solved, in seasons of surprises with miracles and memories to treasure at A Homeland Dell.

Book Up South in the Ozarks

Download or read book Up South in the Ozarks written by Brooks Blevins and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ozarks is a place that defies easy categorization. Sprawling across much of Missouri and Arkansas and smaller parts of Oklahoma and Kansas, it is caught on the margins of America’s larger cultural regions: part southern, part midwestern, and maybe even a little bit western. For generations Ozarkers have been more likely than most other Americans to live near or below the poverty line—a situation that has often subjected them to unflattering stereotypes. In short, the Ozarks has been a marginal place populated by marginalized people. Historian Brooks Blevins has spent his life studying and writing about the people of his native regions—the South and the Ozarks. He has been in the vanguard of a new and vibrant Ozarks Studies movement that has worked to refract the stories of Ozarkers through a more realistic and less exotic lens. In Up South in the Ozarks: Dispatches from the Margins, Blevins introduces us with humor and fairness to mostly unseen lives of the past and present: southern gospel singing schools and ballad collectors, migratory cotton pickers and backroad country storekeepers, fireworks peddlers and impoverished diarists. Part historical and part journalistic, Blevins’s essays combine the scholarly sensibilities of a respected historian with the insights of someone raised in rural hill country. His stories of marginalized characters often defy stereotype. They entertain as much as they educate. And most of them originate in the same place Blevins does: up south in the Ozarks.

Book Summers at Cedar Grove

Download or read book Summers at Cedar Grove written by Ben Timson and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2024-06-25 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Missouri Ozarks are blessed with many clear, spring-fed streams. One of the most scenic is the Current River. High up on the river, a low-water bridge serves as a popular put-in location for several thousand canoe and kayak floaters each year. The site is known as Cedar Grove. Many floaters arriving at the bridge have no idea of the origin of the put-in location's name. Summers at Cedar Grove is the story of the once thriving village that existed at the bridge told through the eyes of the author, who spent many summer days during his childhood at the family farm near the village. First known as Riverside, the village was formed in 1875 and was populated primarily by Scots-Irish migrants from Appalachia. During the timber boom of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Riverside rose to prominence and became known as Cedar Grove. The timber was stripped from the land over four decades, and the village eventually faded from existence. Through a combination of historical data and stories relayed from individuals who lived in the community, the reader will learn about the mill, stores, one-room school, health care in the village, and the people that supported it during its rise and fall.

Book A History of the Ozarks  Volume 3

Download or read book A History of the Ozarks Volume 3 written by Brooks Blevins and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the world wars, America embraced an image of the Ozarks as a remote land of hills and hollers. The popular imagination stereotyped Ozarkers as ridge runners, hillbillies, and pioneers—a cast of colorful throwbacks hostile to change. But the real Ozarks reflected a more complex reality. Brooks Blevins tells the cultural history of the Ozarks as a regional variation of an American story. As he shows, the experiences of the Ozarkers have not diverged from the currents of mainstream life as sharply or consistently as the mythmakers would have it. If much of the region seemed to trail behind by a generation, the time lag was rooted more in poverty and geographic barriers than a conscious rejection of the modern world and its progressive spirit. In fact, the minority who clung to the old days seemed exotic largely because their anachronistic ways clashed against the backdrop of the evolving region around them. Blevins explores how these people’s disproportionate influence affected the creation of the idea of the Ozarks, and reveals the truer idea that exists at the intersection of myth and reality. The conclusion to the acclaimed trilogy, The History of the Ozarks, Volume 3: The Ozarkers offers an authoritative appraisal of the modern Ozarks and its people.

Book At a Homeland Dell Where   s the Lost Key Kell

Download or read book At a Homeland Dell Where s the Lost Key Kell written by Alene Adele Roy and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In ancient times, a young Evergreen queen was faced with the impending Battle at Black Woods. Someone snatches the onyx-and-gold-rose honor about to be bestowed unto her. The Key Kell is missing. Some subjects suffer from a cold spell, and her uncle is injured. Her knight—the love of her life—disappears in a harsh storm just after a friendly neighbor is hurt in a hollow in the Daisy Meadow mist. Can the livestock be saved? Will the flowers arrive at the Kitty Lane Perfumery or will they be blown across the meadows? Will Rachael’s love safely return? Will she survive after being stricken? With charm, wise decisions, and a loyal following of the subjects of the Evergreen kingdom, Queen Rachael Adele will face these challenges without losing hope. She is a courageous ruler whose choices and tidings bring about changes to save her country and people, bringing happiness for everyone. In modern times, the queen’s descendants, the Rachael cousins, play important roles within their community where their royal ancestor once ruled and among their friends when some are injured in an accident or are in need of places to practice their singing and acting skills to further their careers and livelihood. The Rachaels and the mayor also wish to further address environmental issues within their community and celebrate others to make their village greener and more livable, and they reward friends for doing so with an ancient traditional surprise mentioned in the queen’s journal. A landslide causes peril, yet the discovery of ancient writings on family property thrills all in surprising ways. Can they once again host the Summer Solstice Cotillion fundraiser for the hungry while trying to solve the Key Kell mystery at Dragonfly Pond?

  • ISBN : 1780239459

Download or read book Hinterland written by Phil A. Neel and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last forty years, the human landscape of the United States has been fundamentally transformed. The metamorphosis is partially visible in the ascendance of glittering, coastal hubs for finance, infotech, and the so-called creative class. But this is only the tip of an economic iceberg, the bulk of which lies in the darkness of the declining heartland or on the dimly lit fringe of sprawling cities. This is America’s hinterland, populated by towering grain threshers and hunched farmworkers, where laborers drawn from every corner of the world crowd into factories and “fulfillment centers” and where cold storage trailers are filled with fentanyl-bloated corpses when the morgues cannot contain the dead. Urgent and unsparing, this book opens our eyes to America’s new heart of darkness. Driven by an ever-expanding socioeconomic crisis, America’s class structure is recomposing itself in new geographies of race, poverty, and production. The center has fallen. Riots ricochet from city to city led by no one in particular. Anarchists smash financial centers as a resurgent far right builds power in the countryside. Drawing on his direct experience of recent popular unrest, from the Occupy movement to the wave of riots and blockades that began in Ferguson, Missouri, Phil A. Neel provides a close-up view of this landscape in all its grim but captivating detail. Inaugurating the new Field Notes series, published in association with the Brooklyn Rail, Neel’s book tells the intimate story of a life lived within America’s hinterland.
