Download or read book Peace Came in the Form of a Woman written by Juliana Barr and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2009-11-30 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revising the standard narrative of European-Indian relations in America, Juliana Barr reconstructs a world in which Indians were the dominant power and Europeans were the ones forced to accommodate, resist, and persevere. She demonstrates that between the 1690s and 1780s, Indian peoples including Caddos, Apaches, Payayas, Karankawas, Wichitas, and Comanches formed relationships with Spaniards in Texas that refuted European claims of imperial control. Barr argues that Indians not only retained control over their territories but also imposed control over Spaniards. Instead of being defined in racial terms, as was often the case with European constructions of power, diplomatic relations between the Indians and Spaniards in the region were dictated by Indian expressions of power, grounded in gendered terms of kinship. By examining six realms of encounter--first contact, settlement and intermarriage, mission life, warfare, diplomacy, and captivity--Barr shows that native categories of gender provided the political structure of Indian-Spanish relations by defining people's identity, status, and obligations vis-a-vis others. Because native systems of kin-based social and political order predominated, argues Barr, Indian concepts of gender cut across European perceptions of racial difference.

Download or read book Women and Political Violence written by Miranda Alison and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-01-21 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book directly challenges the stereotype that women are inherently peaceable by examining female combatants’ involvement in ethno-national conflicts. Drawing upon empirical case studies of Sri Lanka and Northern Ireland, this study explores the ways in which women have traditionally been depicted. Whereas women have predominantly been seen as victims of conflict, this book acknowledges the reality of women as active combatants. Indeed, female soldiers/irregulars are features of most modern conflicts, and particularly in ethno-nationalist violence – until now largely ignored by mainstream scholarship. Original interview material from the author’s extensive fieldwork addresses why, and how, some women choose to become violently engaged in nationalist conflicts. It also highlights the personal / political costs and benefits incurred by such women. This book provides a valuable insight into female combatants, and is a significant contribution to the literature. This book will be of great interest to students of political violence, ethnic conflict, gender studies and international relations in general.

One night, town sheriff Frank Drinkwalter gives Mac a better offer: an apprenticeship in riding and shooting that may one day lead to a deputy’s star. The sheriff will need Mac’s help sooner than either of them realizes. The devil lies behind the eyes of blacksmith Jack Galt, whom Drinkwalter suspects of savagely murdering a series of innocent women.

Download or read book If Is the Only Peacemaker written by Greg Maillet and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-06-13 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If Is the Only Peacemaker explores the drama of Shakespeare through a cultural lens that can be shown to be central to the formation of this theatrical art: fourteenth- to sixteenth-century Catholic Humanism. Part I of this book traces this tradition through key figures in Medieval and Renaissance Humanism, including Dante, Chaucer, Erasmus, and Thomas More. The latter two, especially, convey Catholic Humanism to Shakespeare's England, and help to establish a rhetorical ideal: the union of eloquentia and sapientia, of wit and wisdom. Part II then closely reads one of Shakespeare's major comedies, As You Like It, through this ideal, finding in this play an outstanding example of the Catholic Humanist rhetoric central to Shakespeare's art. This part of the book also mingles rhetorical and performance criticism, citing six different productions of As You Like It.

Book excerpt: A young man named Lenny Gordon grows up with a burning desire to do something significant that will make our embattled world a more loving place to live. He plays football in high school, achieving honors, resulting in full-ride scholarship to Michigan University, where he also receives much-acclaimed offers to play for NFL teams. Instead of going "pro," he accepts a job in the industry as a software engineer. After three years, the old yearning to "do good for the world" encompasses his mind and spirit. He goes to his special little church and looks upward for "heavenly guidance." A sweet female voice comes down and blesses Lenny's peacemaker foray to the troubled world. At this session, he is told that he will be anointed with certain special powers: With a flick of his fingers, he will be able to "transfix" his audience. He will be surrounded by a luminous shield protecting him from all sorts of physical and ammunition bombardments. In his first peacemaking foray, he confronts the US Congress and initiates the process of establishing a government that forever will not be headed up by a SINGLE PERSON. Secondly, he abolishes the ever-bickering "two-party system" and replaces with a "no-party Congress," elected by popular vote and congressmen can only serve for one eight to ten years term so that the legislators will not legislative to be "reelected." Then he travels to countries of the world where wars and out-of-control riots are in process. He finds a prominent point and freezes the combatants and threatens to starve them to death if they don't make peace with one another, stating that he has been dispatched from the Godhead they all worship to carry forth his mission: "PEACE AND LOVE EVERYWHERE." Then he has the pope gather the religious heads from all religions, where he freezes the audience and explains that they all worship the same God/Godhead no matter which religion they preach. And the Godhead is made up of both male and female saints who achieved their heavenly position because of their kind-loving lives whilst on the earth, and he also cites that God instilled both male and females a natural desire for sex with each other, so stop condemning consenting adults from having sexual intercourse adults, including priests, who seem to be taking out their sexual cravings out on children. And lastly, women are in so many ways more kind and loving and wise than men that they should be encouraged to fill every sort of official responsibility, including the "papal office." Then he travels about the world, leading to the removal of all the country's armed forces and armaments. After this, he supervises the selection of "well-vetted" persons from the world's 195 countries to make up a "Peace and Love Organization," the PALO, who are the overseers of the peace and love of the whole planet. The PALO assembles them to physics minds around the world who develop an airborne craft that "DENUCLEARIZES" all the atomic arsenals buried around the world. During his journeys, he meets and falls in love with a beautiful Romanian lady, Romanna. She travels with him on many of his missions, and eventually, they marry and produce a baby boy then a baby girl.
Download or read book Black Women s Portrayals on Reality Television written by Donnetrice C. Allison and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-01-14 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically analyzes the portrayals of Black women in current reality television. Audiences are presented with a multitude of images of Black women fighting, arguing, and cursing at one another in this manufactured world of reality television. This perpetuation of negative, insidious racial and gender stereotypes influences how the U.S. views Black women. This stereotyping disrupts the process in which people are able to appreciate cultural and gender difference. Instead of celebrating the diverse symbols and meaning making that accompanies Black women's discourse and identities, reality television scripts an artificial or plastic image of Black women that reinforces extant stereotypes. This collection's contributors seek to uncover examples in reality television shows where instantiations of Black women's gendered, racial, and cultural difference is signified and made sinister.

Download or read book Lady First written by Amy S. Greenberg and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2020-01-21 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The little-known story of remarkable First Lady Sarah Polk—a brilliant master of the art of high politics and a crucial but unrecognized figure in the history of American feminism. While the Women’s Rights convention was taking place at Seneca Falls in 1848, First Lady Sarah Childress Polk was wielding influence unprecedented for a woman in Washington, D.C. Yet, while history remembers the women of the convention, it has all but forgotten Sarah Polk. Now, in her riveting biography, Amy S. Greenberg brings Sarah’s story into vivid focus. We see Sarah as the daughter of a frontiersman who raised her to discuss politics and business with men; we see the savvy and charm she brandished in order to help her brilliant but unlikeable husband, James K. Polk, ascend to the White House. We watch as she exercises truly extraordinary power as First Lady: quietly manipulating elected officials, shaping foreign policy, and directing a campaign in support of America’s expansionist war against Mexico. And we meet many of the enslaved men and women whose difficult labor made Sarah’s political success possible. Sarah Polk’s life spanned nearly the entirety of the nineteenth-century. But her own legacy, which profoundly transformed the South, continues to endure. Comprehensive, nuanced, and brimming with invaluable insight, Lady First is a revelation of our twelfth First Lady’s complex but essential part in American feminism.
