Download or read book Hispaniola Hell Or Home written by Pauline M. Kulstad-González and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grand Narratives of colonization, especially ones related to the Spanish and Portuguese Americas, began circulating soon after 1492. The danger of these Grand Narratives is that they are often mistaken as reality and eclipse all other possible narrations pertaining to a particular place and/or time. As more Caribbean territories become independent, the questioning of Grand Narratives has permeated many disciplines in the region, and archaeology is no exception.This work attempts to examine the lifeways at the archaeological site of Concepción de la Vega during its occupation from 1494 through 1564, using a Decolonial approach. Situated in present-day Dominican Republic (Hispaniola island), this site was one of the earliest and most affluent in Caribbean colonial history.The Decolonial approach used here critically analyzes and reinterprets primary data about Concepción from the point of view of those colonized, particularly non-elite, Indigenous peoples, and those of African descent. This approach uses various sources of data to recreate early lifeways, and helps gain a better understanding of the process through which the Spanish-American cultural tradition was created, and later disseminated, to the rest of Latin America.

Book excerpt: A self-help book drawn from the author's elite military training and autobiographical experiences over the course of being forced to survive for fourteen years within the confines of a notorious privately owned Corrections Corporation of America prison in the state of Tennessee. This is not just a self-help manual for the incarcerated or interested parties, but rather a rich detailed account of how an elite soldier survived a personal journey through a world of extreme emotional and psychological duress, violence, death, corruption, prison politics, and survival while refusing to join a prison gang for protection. This is the experienced knowledge of a soldier who is forced to become a prison convict and continue, seemingly alone, upon a dangerous warrior's path which ultimately culminates into a personal spiritual journey. If experience is the most cruel teacher of all than the tools, knowledge, wisdom, and insights shared within the pages of this book were acquired through unadulterated cruelty.
