Download or read book Tale of a Territorial Thief written by Mrinmoy Chakraborty and published by K.K. Publications. This book was released on 2022-03-06 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thieves were not necessarily looked down upon in India as villains or parasites. In this country, besides mythological thieves, there were legendary thieves who are alive in collective and individual memory. In the Barak Valley region of Assam there was the concept of baadi rakhal, or the protector of the household, which happened to be a snake. The venomous snake was religiously worshipped and believed to be the protector of the household from all danger! Similarly, almost all villages had their own and well-known thief, who would punish the disloyal in the locality by breaking into his house and protect the loyal households from any other burglar from outside or inside the village. He was duly revered as a hero and substantially compensated. The great thieves of that time inflicted no harm to the weak and poor and enjoyed the power and prestige as admissible to a person who would practice a respectable profession. Different localities in that region had many such hero thieves, one at a time in a particular territory. Here is a story of such a well-known thief.
Download or read book Tales of the Old Indian Territory and Essays on the Indian Condition written by John Milton Oskison and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 677 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the beginning of the twentieth century, Indian Territory, which would eventually become the state of Oklahoma, was a multicultural space in which various Native tribes, European Americans, and African Americans were equally engaged in struggles to carve out meaningful lives in a harsh landscape. John Milton Oskison, born in the territory to a Cherokee mother and an immigrant English father, was brought up engaging in his Cherokee heritage, including its oral traditions, and appreciating the utilitarian value of an American education. Oskison left Indian Territory to attend college and went on to have a long career in New York City journalism, working for the New York Evening Post and Collier?s Magazine. He also wrote short stories and essays for newspapers and magazines, most of which were about contemporary life in Indian Territory and depicted a complex multicultural landscape of cowboys, farmers, outlaws, and families dealing with the consequences of multiple interacting cultures. Though Oskison was a well-known and prolific Cherokee writer, journalist, and activist, few of his works are known today. This first comprehensive collection of Oskison?s unpublished autobiography, short stories, autobiographical essays, and essays about life in Indian Territory at the turn of the twentieth century fills a significant void in the literature and thought of a critical time and place in the history of the United States.

As the months come and go and the seasons turn, she must confront what she has lost and what she will become. At once tender and lacerating, luminous and unsettling, Yuko Tsushima’s Territory of Light is a novel of abandonment, desire, and transformation.

Download or read book The Firm and Territory written by Roberta Troisi and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the relationship between the firm and the territory, emphasizing the micro-organizational dimension and the interactions between actors at territorial levels. First, the book examines the particular features of the firm considering three key factors - structural design, power configuration and organizational culture – and the characteristics of the surrounding territory as a specific spatial ecosystem with its own institutions, agents, history and objectives. Second, it analyses organizational tenets at the micro- and meso levels with a view to explaining various relational models and their implications at the level of the firm and the territory. Although previous studies have focused on the territory as a geographical space in which firms procure resources and promote development, this book presents an innovative approach and makes a key contribution to the literature by dealing with the firm and the territory from an organizational perspective. The relationship is analysed as bidirectional: a key question concerns how the territory can impact the organizational dimension of the firm, and how the firm can characterize the territory. This will be considered in connection with various effects. The positive effects of the relationship with the territory are investigated in terms of territorial identity, territorial resilience and territorial sustainability. The negative effects include the role of criminal networks rooted in the territory, with firms acting as key agents.
