Download or read book The Making of Resistance written by Markus Lundström and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Briefs advances a theoretical approach that recognizes social movements as contingent enterprises. It explores the endurance of social movements over time, by developing analytical tools to study how social movement heterogeneities are simultaneously acknowledged and articulated together, through collective narration and practices. With a unique empirical analysis of one particular narrative – the story of Brazil’s Landless Movement – this Briefs portrays a narrative revisited and revised by movement participants, a story revived through enactment. This Briefs addresses the increasing academic audience seeking to study, and theorize, the multi-colored phenomena of resistance and social movements.

MMA has drawn millions on cable and network television, as well as out-performed professional wrestling and boxing on pay-per-view.

The MMA Encyclopedia puts the fighters, the facts, and the fundamentals of the world's fastest growing sport at your fingertips as the definitive reference guide to mixed martial arts. The encyclopedia will break the MMA language barrier for those who don't know a wristlock from a wristwatch, while at the same time offering perspective and analysis that will entertain the hardcore fan who already has the basics down pat. With three appendices that detail the results of every MMA'fight in history, this the ultimate reference book for the ultimate sport.

Download or read book Mr Penrose written by William Williams and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-09 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An 18th century sailor is cast away in a multi-ethnic New World in this long-neglected classic regarded as the first American novel every written. Mr. Penrose narrates the adventures of a Llewellin Penrose who flees an unhappy home life to seek his fortune on the high seas. Having learned the sailor’s trade, Penrose survives a series of nautical mishaps, only to be cast adrift on the Mosquito Coast. When rescue finally comes, Penrose refuses to abandon the new home he has made among the Indians. Though not officially published until 1815—posthumously and bowdlerized—painter and seafarer William Williams’s dynamic adventure was actually written before 1780, making it unjustly forgotten as, arguably, the first American novel. Publishers may have been wary of “a work of imagination”, but Lord Byron could barely contain his enthusiasm for this unique tale: “I have never read so much of a book in one sitting in my life. He kept me up half the night, and made me dream of him the other half.” Equal parts travel narrative, sea-merchant yarn and historical document, this original version of Mr. Penrose reflects on some of the most pressing moral and social issues of its time: imperialism, racial equality, religious freedom, and the nature of an ethical government. In fact, it contains the first unequivocal critique of slavery in a transatlantic novel and the most realistic portrayals of Native Americans in early American fiction. In the afterword, Sarah Wadsworth imparts new research on the author and his career, shedding light on the novel’s subjects and timely themes, and situating Mr. Penrose at the forefront of the American literary canon.
Download or read book Treasure of Gor written by John Norman and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2024-04-23 with total page 761 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant woman’s dangerous discovery on Earth leads to her enslavement on the planet Gor in this long-running sci-fi fantasy series. In a remote corner of the American southwest, there is a small, private observatory. To most of the staff, it is just another stargazing facility. But a select few know its true function as a liaison point between two alien worlds: the decimated planet of the warlike Kurii, and the planet Gor, which the Kurii now covet. When the young scientist Agnes Morrison Atherton comes across an unintelligible file containing mysterious coordinates, she decides to decode them—and discovers two large, spherical, seemingly artificial objects in the asteroid belt. But it seems that Atherton’s remarkable discovery is less than welcome. Abducted and drugged, she awakens to find herself on the planet Gor—being sold as a Gorean slave girl.

Download or read book Best New African Poets 2016 Anthology written by Mwanaka, Tendai R. and published by Langaa RPCIG. This book was released on 2017-03-27 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best New African Poets 2016 Anthology has 251 pieces from 131 poets and artists in 7 languages (English, Portuguese, French, Afrikaans, Shona, Yoruba and Kiswahili) from 24 African countries and Diasporas, with South African and Angolan poets dominating the list. We also have a healthy number of poets from Uganda, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Moçambique, Ghana, and Nigeria, as usual. The nationalist sense is the one that most predominates with its pink, blue and gray tints that are expressed in parallel with existentialist perspectives that in turn go hand in hand with love, desire, hankering, joy, sensuality that transports us to epic, lyrical, utopian contexts without being lost in fantasy, they are artistic lines sometimes with traditional and sometimes more innovative touches. However, in contrast and to a lesser extent, almost as if there were resistant and with restraint we also find desolation, pain, negation that can be so sweet or so bitter that it allows the imagination to stop in a lament or end in resignation.

Book excerpt: A existência da mulher indígena na mitologia é um caso labirintado que nem sempre nos deixa tirar conclusão lógica. Esta peremptória afirmativa nos permite inferir que, em se tratando da mulher sateré-mawé, só é possível conhecermos o seu valor dentro da etnia se localizarmos a inscrita capaz de nos levar até o rastro onde se firma o ethos feminino. Tecer fina tessitura sobre o ethos da mulher sateré-mawé supõe recompor o conjunto de valores arquetípicos que vicejam no dorso do contemporâneo e que pulsam nas veias da tradição, como um escuro potencialmente capaz de ver a luz.
