Book excerpt: There is no accounting for time when one is unconscious. And one's thoughts can't interpret the difference between the subconscious and the real world. Just as the fogginess starts to clear, the unknown makes one's thoughts a blur of confusion. Such is the case with an auburn-haired, young lady, lying on a cold, stainless-steel table... Anthony "Tony" Thomas has one desire in life: to follow in the footsteps of his father and be a valued member of Chicago's Homicide Detective Squad. Two years after graduating at the top of his class from the police academy, his dream comes true. However, within moments of starting his new assignment, Tony quickly realizes that his peculiar new partner has a hidden past. When a string of murders begins to stump detectives, Tony takes it upon himself to connect the dots, even if those connections lead him to an unlikely culprit. To Tony's horror, he quickly realizes that those close to him are not shielded from the dangers that arise from the job. The Tip of the Iceberg's nail-biting suspense will keep you enthralled from beginning to end. This is not your typical "who-done-it" murder novel. "Just when you think you have everything figured out, something else happens that moves you in another direction." Dr. Walter D. Dean

Download or read book Indians in Unexpected Places written by Philip Joseph Deloria and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the passage of time, our vision of Native Americans remains locked up within powerful stereotypes. That's why some images of Indians can be so unexpected and disorienting: What is Geronimo doing sitting in a Cadillac? Why is an Indian woman in beaded buckskin sitting under a salon hairdryer? Such images startle and challenge our outdated visions, even as the latter continue to dominate relations between Native and non-Native Americans. Philip Deloria explores this cultural discordance to show how stereotypes and Indian experiences have competed for ascendancy in the wake of the military conquest of Native America and the nation's subsequent embrace of Native "authenticity." Rewriting the story of the national encounter with modernity, Deloria provides revealing accounts of Indians doing unexpected things-singing opera, driving cars, acting in Hollywood-in ways that suggest new directions for American Indian history. Focusing on the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries-a time when, according to most standard American narratives, Indian people almost dropped out of history itself-Deloria argues that a great many Indians engaged the very same forces of modernization that were leading non-Indians to reevaluate their own understandings of themselves and their society. He examines longstanding stereotypes of Indians as invariably violent, suggesting that even as such views continued in American popular culture, they were also transformed by the violence at Wounded Knee. He tells how Indians came to represent themselves in Wild West shows and Hollywood films and also examines sports, music, and even Indian people's use of the automobile-an ironic counterpoint to today's highways teeming with Dakota pick-ups and Cherokee sport utility vehicles. Throughout, Deloria shows us anomalies that resist pigeonholing and force us to rethink familiar expectations. Whether considering the Hollywood films of James Young Deer or the Hall of Fame baseball career of pitcher Charles Albert Bender, he persuasively demonstrates that a significant number of Indian people engaged in modernity-and helped shape its anxieties and its textures-at the very moment they were being defined as "primitive." These "secret histories," Deloria suggests, compel us to reconsider our own current expectations about what Indian people should be, how they should act, and even what they should look like. More important, he shows how such seemingly harmless (even if unconscious) expectations contribute to the racism and injustice that still haunt the experience of many Native American people today.

Book excerpt: "To stand in silence when they should be protesting makes cowards out of men." Abraham Lincoln "To be inhuman is to watch the inhumane treatment of others in silence." Arnold P. Powers "Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt." Abraham Lincoln "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This Book has taken five years to complete, but it's really incomplete. There are still elements of our family's history that has been hidden from us and still remains to be researched. The complexity of information concealed by Whites is not alone. Just as many Blacks for whatever reason has also concealed information for the sole purpose of who knows! But it gives me a sense of who we are as people, the genealogy research bug. Where you go back into our fore-fathers lives and the puzzles wait anyone daring to put the pieces together is worth the assured disappointment of dissatisfaction that will assuredly come. But it never taints the curiosity! Photo on the front cover is a newspaper article from, "The Pensacola Journal," dated December 16, 1906. The two individuals pictured are Uncle Joe and Aunt Lucy. Real people described as "Good-Ole Antebellum Colored Folks." "Back Cover is from "The San Francisco Call," newspaper article dated, July 17, 1904.
Download or read book Alice in Shandehland written by Monda Halpern and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 1931, Ben and Alice Edelson had been married for two decades and had seven children, but for years Alice had been having an affair with the married Jack Horwitz. On the night of 24 November, Ben, Alice, and Jack met at Edelson Jewellers to "settle the thing." Words flew, a brawl erupted, and Jack was shot and killed. The tragedy marked the start of a sensational legal case that captured Ottawa headlines, with the prominent jeweller facing the gallows. Through a detailed examination of newspaper coverage, interviews with family and community members, and evocative archival photographs, Monda Halpern's Alice in Shandehland reconstructs a long-silenced murder case in Depression-era Canada. Halpern contends that despite his crime, Ben Edelson was the object of far less contempt than his adulterous wife whose shandeh - Yiddish for shame or disgrace - seemed indefensible. While Alice endured the censure of both the Jewish community and the courtroom, Ben’s middle-class respectability and the betrayal he suffered earned him favoured standing and, ultimately, legal exoneration. Revealing the tensions around ethnicity, sexuality, gender, and class, Alice in Shandehland explores the divergent reputations of Ben and Alice Edelson within a growing but insular and tenuous Jewish community, and within a dominant culture that embraced male success and valour during the emasculating 1930s.
