Book Synopsis A Clan Mother's Call by : Jeanette Rodriguez

Download or read book A Clan Mother's Call written by Jeanette Rodriguez. This book was released on 2017-08-16. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addresses the importance of Haudenosaunee women in the rebuilding of the Iroquois nation. Indigenous communities around the world are gathering to both reclaim and share their ancestral wisdom. Aware of and drawing from these social movements, A Clan Mother’s Call articulates Haudenosaunee women’s worldview that honors women, clanship, and the earth. Over successive generations, First Nation people around the globe have experienced and survived trauma and colonization. Extensive literature documents these assaults, but few record their resilience. This book fulfills an urgent and unmet need for First Nation women to share their historical and cultural memory as a people. It is a need invoked and proclaimed by Clan Mother, Iakoiane Wakerahkats:teh, of the Mohawk Nation. Utilizing ethnographic methods of participatory observation, interviewing and recording oral history, the book is an important and useful resource for capturing “living” histories. It strengthens the cultural bridge and understanding of the Haudenosaunee people within the United States and Canada.

Book excerpt: Next to the zombie sat King, wagging his tail and licking the arm of the zombie. 'Edgar, if your dog eats that zombie, I am going to puke!' Mouse said. Crunch nodded. The zombie had its head turned toward King as if in thought...Edgar was the first to muster his courage and slowly walk back to the zombie, timidly followed by Crunch and then Mouse. As they got within ten feet of King and the zombie, Edgar tried very quietly to call King to him. King never budged; he was now getting scratched behind the ears by the zombie. The zombie slowly looked up with very bright, blue eyes and saw them approach. In the distant aftermath of nuclear warfare, in a society where remnants of past technology mingle with rediscovered magic, Edgar, Dash, and Crunch set out for an adventure. Little do they know just how much of an adventure awaits them. Along their journey, they encounter a fascinating cast of characters: a dog that might not be a dog, a sentient computer that becomes oddly attached to Edgar, a shabby boy with a secret, and a reanimated ancient warrior. Their friendship will be tested and new relationships will be formed. Will they see each other through the trials ahead, or will they fall apart just when they most need to work together? Will the adventure they sought be worth the prices they must pay? Travel along with the Bolt Clan as they discover a world that is more fantastic than they ever knew!

Book Synopsis The New Mutants by : Ramzi Fawaz

Download or read book The New Mutants written by Ramzi Fawaz. This book was released on 2016-01-22. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2017 The Association for the Studies of the Present Book Prize Finalist Mention, 2017 Lora Romero First Book Award Presented by the American Studies Association Winner of the 2012 CLAGS Fellowship Award for Best First Book Project in LGBT Studies How fantasy meets reality as popular culture evolves and ignites postwar gender, sexual, and race revolutions. In 1964, noted literary critic Leslie Fiedler described American youth as “new mutants,” social rebels severing their attachments to American culture to remake themselves in their own image. 1960s comic book creators, anticipating Fiedler, began to morph American superheroes from icons of nationalism and white masculinity into actual mutant outcasts, defined by their genetic difference from ordinary humanity. These powerful misfits and “freaks” soon came to embody the social and political aspirations of America’s most marginalized groups, including women, racial and sexual minorities, and the working classes. In The New Mutants, Ramzi Fawaz draws upon queer theory to tell the story of these monstrous fantasy figures and how they grapple with radical politics from Civil Rights and The New Left to Women’s and Gay Liberation Movements. Through a series of comic book case studies—including The Justice League of America, The Fantastic Four, The X-Men, and The New Mutants—alongside late 20th century fan writing, cultural criticism, and political documents, Fawaz reveals how the American superhero modeled new forms of social belonging that counterculture youth would embrace in the 1960s and after. The New Mutants provides the first full-length study to consider the relationship between comic book fantasy and radical politics in the modern United States.

Book excerpt: The death of a former goalie draws sports agent Dave Bolt into a gambling scandal that could destroy professional ice hockey. Athletic agent Dave Bolt, former star for the Dallas Cowboys, is a hardened sports insider, familiar with the dirty underside of American professional sports. He witnesses the kickbacks, the bribes and the blackmail that keep the high-powered industry spinning. In Death in the Crease, Bolt has to deal with an explosive ice hockey scandal that threatens to expose the sport’s biggest game as a sham. Former Black Hawk goalie Guy LeClede writes an exposé of the corruption that “would blow hockey off the ice” if published. But before the book is seen by anyone else, LeClede suddenly drives his car off a cliff and the manuscript disappears. NHL brass have asked Bolt: to investigate the possibility of murder and unravel the intricacies of one of the priciest gambling deals of the decade.
