Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pomo Bear Doctors In the second place, the power of the doctor was thought to reside wholly in his bearskin suit, or parts thereof, and apparently was considered the result of an elaborate ceremony performed in its manu facture and subsequent donning. This distinctly ritualistic side of the bear doctor's practices removes him still more clearly from the class of the true shaman.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Doctor Tom IF an author, on attempting his first bow, would escape unjust blame, and, what is, or ought to be, of not less con sequence in his eyes, steer clear of undeserved praise, it is desirable that his aim - what he really has it in mind to do should be understood by his audience. In other words, if he is attempting only a hat, and there is danger that the reader should suspect an entire wardrobe, it seems well to follow the example of the historic painter, and declare, in totidem verbis, This is a hat.

Download or read book Homegoing written by Yaa Gyasi and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK • Ghana, eighteenth century: two half sisters are born into different villages, each unaware of the other. One will marry an Englishman and lead a life of comfort in the palatial rooms of the Cape Coast Castle. The other will be captured in a raid on her village, imprisoned in the very same castle, and sold into slavery. One of Oprah’s Best Books of the Year and a PEN/Hemingway award winner, Homegoing follows the parallel paths of these sisters and their descendants through eight generations: from the Gold Coast to the plantations of Mississippi, from the American Civil War to Jazz Age Harlem. Yaa Gyasi’s extraordinary novel illuminates slavery’s troubled legacy both for those who were taken and those who stayed—and shows how the memory of captivity has been inscribed on the soul of our nation.
