Book excerpt: Personal memoir of author, John Martin of growing up in M?n? Camp, the westernmost sugar plantation camp on Kauai, and in Hawaii.

Hunting for pigs and goats, freshwater and salt water fishing, swimming in the ocean and other fresh water ponds and ditches were only some of the exciting things they did. Working on the plantation during summer breaks was also an important part of the lifestyle of a plantation camp kid. In 1987 the camp was closed, and the two remaining families moved to Kekaha. Rows of vacant houses, which once were the homes of families with dreams were leveled. Nothing remains of the small but proud community.

Book Synopsis Gender and Power in the Pacific by : Katarina Ferro
Download or read book Gender and Power in the Pacific written by Katarina Ferro. This book was released on 2003. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women from the Pacific Islands are often perceived by Europeans as passive beauties dancing the hula with a flower in their hair, as docile companions of European or local men or as naive personalities surrounded by an endangered environment. But far from that male Western reception of women's status, which can be found in documentaries, motion pictures as well as travel and adventure literature, women are active and resolute agents who self-confidently shape their societies through their courageous and determined acting in public as well as in their communities. The current volume of Novara - Contributions to Research on the Pacific wants to deliver insights into the lives of women from the Pacific Islands and shows how they deal with shifting gender relations in changing societies. Traditions and adjustment processes to changing living conditions of women and men in Papua New Guinea, Palau and New Zealand present fascinating research fields, which open up the view to new living models apart from Western gender concepts.

Book Synopsis The Routledge Handbook of the Peoples and Places of Ancient Western Asia by : Trevor Bryce
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of the Peoples and Places of Ancient Western Asia written by Trevor Bryce. This book was released on 2009-09-10. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 500,000 word reference work provides the most comprehensive general treatment available of the peoples and places of the regions commonly referred to as the ancient Near and Middle East – extending from the Aegean coast of Turkey in the west to the Indus river in the east. It contains some 1,500 entries on the kingdoms, countries, cities, and population groups of Anatolia, Cyprus, Syria-Palestine, Mesopotamia, and Iran and parts of Central Asia, from the Early Bronze Age to the end of the Persian empire. Five distinguished international scholars have collaborated with the author on the project. Detailed accounts are provided of the Near/Middle Eastern peoples and places known to us from historical records. Each of these entries includes specific references to translated passages from the relevant ancient texts. Numerous entries on archaeological sites contain accounts of their history of excavation, as well as more detailed descriptions of their chief features and their significance within the commercial, cultural, and political contexts of the regions to which they belonged. The book contains a range of illustrations, including twenty maps. It serves as a major, indeed a unique, reference source for students as well as established scholars, both of the ancient Near Eastern as well as the Classical civilizations. It also appeals to more general readers wishing to pursue in depth their interests in these civilizations. There is nothing comparable to it on the market today.
