Download or read book Massacre at Camp Grant written by Chip Colwell and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of a National Council on Public History Book Award On April 30, 1871, an unlikely group of Anglo-Americans, Mexican Americans, and Tohono O’odham Indians massacred more than a hundred Apache men, women, and children who had surrendered to the U.S. Army at Camp Grant, near Tucson, Arizona. Thirty or more Apache children were stolen and either kept in Tucson homes or sold into slavery in Mexico. Planned and perpetrated by some of the most prominent men in Arizona’s territorial era, this organized slaughter has become a kind of “phantom history” lurking beneath the Southwest’s official history, strangely present and absent at the same time. Seeking to uncover the mislaid past, this powerful book begins by listening to those voices in the historical record that have long been silenced and disregarded. Massacre at Camp Grant fashions a multivocal narrative, interweaving the documentary record, Apache narratives, historical texts, and ethnographic research to provide new insights into the atrocity. Thus drawing from a range of sources, it demonstrates the ways in which painful histories continue to live on in the collective memories of the communities in which they occurred. Chip Colwell-Chanthaphonh begins with the premise that every account of the past is suffused with cultural, historical, and political characteristics. By paying attention to all of these aspects of a contested event, he provides a nuanced interpretation of the cultural forces behind the massacre, illuminates how history becomes an instrument of politics, and contemplates why we must study events we might prefer to forget.

Book excerpt: A riotous introduction to the unintentionally homoerotic side of military life. These classic images date from the years 1914 to 1946, when armies everywhere were crying out for fit, toned men to join up, bond together and make the world a better place. The innuendo is rife, from McClelland Barclays 1942 Navy recruitment poster, Cadets for Naval Aviation take that something extra... Have you got it? to H. Prices Tom of Finland-esque cartoon sailor, stripped to his boxers and whose Regular check ups keep him on the job. Cannon Towels 1944 magazine campaigns showed U.S. soldiers smiling, laughing, naked, enjoying communal bathing and generally camping it up across the globe, from Alaska to the South Pacific. But regardless of whether these images are intentionally camp, or simply a reminder of more innocent times, this collection of smart, young men in uniform is certain to have everyone standing to attention.

Book excerpt: Creative Boot Camp is a 30-day creative training program that will increase the quantity and quality of your ideas.

They are light, fun, and take 10-15 minutes max. By the end of the 30-day boot camp, readers will see noticeable improvement in the quantity and quality of their ideas.
Download or read book Closer to Freedom written by Stephanie M. H. Camp and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2005-10-12 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent scholarship on slavery has explored the lives of enslaved people beyond the watchful eye of their masters. Building on this work and the study of space, social relations, gender, and power in the Old South, Stephanie Camp examines the everyday containment and movement of enslaved men and, especially, enslaved women. In her investigation of the movement of bodies, objects, and information, Camp extends our recognition of slave resistance into new arenas and reveals an important and hidden culture of opposition. Camp discusses the multiple dimensions to acts of resistance that might otherwise appear to be little more than fits of temper. She brings new depth to our understanding of the lives of enslaved women, whose bodies and homes were inevitably political arenas. Through Camp's insight, truancy becomes an act of pursuing personal privacy. Illegal parties ("frolics") become an expression of bodily freedom. And bondwomen who acquired printed abolitionist materials and posted them on the walls of their slave cabins (even if they could not read them) become the subtle agitators who inspire more overt acts. The culture of opposition created by enslaved women's acts of everyday resistance helped foment and sustain the more visible resistance of men in their individual acts of running away and in the collective action of slave revolts. Ultimately, Camp argues, the Civil War years saw revolutionary change that had been in the making for decades.

Download or read book The Women s Camp in Moringen written by Gabriele Herz and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2006 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nazi regime opened its first concentration camps within weeks of coming to power, but with the exception of Dachau the history of these early, improvised camps and their inmates is not yet widely known. Gabriele Herz's memoir, published for the first time, is a unique record of a Jewish woman's detention in the first women's concentration camp in Moringen (housed in part of an old-established workhouse), at a time when most other inmates were communists or Jehovah's Witnesses. This original translation of her wry and perceptive memoir is accompanied by an extensive introduction that sets Herz's experience in the history both of political detention under the Nazi regime and of the German workhouse system.
