The Future Imaginary in Indigenous North American Arts and Literatures

By: Kristina Baudemann

This book examines the future in Indigenous North American speculative literature and digital arts. Asking how different Indigenous works imagine the future and how they negotiate settler colonial visions of what is to come, the chapters illustrate that the future is not an immutable entity but a malleable textual/digital product that can function as both a colonial tool and a catalyst for decolonization. Central to this study is the development of a methodology that helps unearth the signifying structures producing the future in selected works by Darcie Little Badger, Gerald Vizenor, Stephen Graham Jones, Skawennati, Danis Goulet, Scott Benesiinaabandan, Postcommodity, Kite, Jeff Barnaby, and Ryan Singer. Drawing on Jason Lewis’s "future imaginary" as the theoretical core, the book describes the various forms of textual representation and virtual simulation through which notions of Indigenous continuation are expressed in literary and new media works. Arguing that Indigenous authors and artists apply the aesthetics of the future as a strategy in their works, the volume conceptualizes its multimedia corpus as a continuously growing archive of, and for, Indigenous futures.

Satreih

The Making of a Legend

By: Kristina Skilling

Dark cloaks. The stench of corpses. The Spies of Mosiania have invaded the lands of elves, dwarves, dragons, witches, centaurs, water nymphs, and werecats. They've surfaced to help evil Lord Verteq return to power. Still recovering from Verteq's last wars, the creatures are determined to overcome the rising trouble. The evil grows when the spies kidnap Rasnir, a recluse with senses like an animal, for his blood, an ingredient Verteq needs to return to power. Naive yet courageous, Rasnir's adopted elf-son, Satreih, sets out to rescue his father. Accompanied by his protectorate, Chikara, a golden dragon, Satreih travels through the Sakki desert, the City of Rasiamoramisa, the Ugulaly Ocean, and the Seven Waterfalls on his quest. Befriended by Kaskin, a skilled and knowledgeable warrior, and Yia, a young witch who can shape-shift at will, the troupe finds the lands and powerful forms of magic more complicated than they realize. They are tested to their limits as their efforts increasingly focus on defeating the evil brewing in the land of Mosiania. Skillfully combining epic and urban fantasy elements, Satreih: The Making of a Legend is an exciting and fast-paced story. From the first page, you'll be plunged into a world like no other.

Heritage in the Body

Sensory Ecologies of Health Practice in Times of Change

By: Kristina Baines

Through storytelling, ethnography, and interviews, this volume examines how Indigenous Maya and Garifuna Belizeans--both in Belize and in the United States--navigate macro-level processes such as economic development, climate change, political shifts, and global health crises in the context of changes in their own lives. Employing an embodied ecological heritage (EEH) framework, this work explores the links between health and heritage. It offers insights into how heritage practices become embodied as ways to maintain and support happy, healthy lives.

Raising Racists

The Socialization of White Children in the Jim Crow South

By: Kristina DuRocher

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Raising Racists

The Socialization of White Children in the Jim Crow South

By: Kristina DuRocher

White southerners recognized that the perpetuation of segregation required whites of all ages to uphold a strict social order -- especially the young members of the next generation. White children rested at the core of the system of segregation between 1890 and 1939 because their participation was crucial to ensuring the future of white supremacy. Their socialization in the segregated South offers an examination of white supremacy from the inside, showcasing the culture's efforts to preserve itself by teaching its beliefs to the next generation. In Raising Racists: The Socialization of White Children in the Jim Crow South, author Kristina DuRocher reveals how white adults in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries continually reinforced race and gender roles to maintain white supremacy. DuRocher examines the practices, mores, and traditions that trained white children to fear, dehumanize, and disdain their black neighbors. Raising Racists combines an analysis of the remembered experiences of a racist society, how that society influenced children, and, most important, how racial violence and brutality shaped growing up in the early-twentieth-century South.

Life at the Kiowa, Comanche, and Wichita Agency

The Photographs of Annette Ross Hume

By: Kristina L. Southwell,John R. Lovett

Anadarko, Oklahoma, bills itself today as the “Indian Capital of the Nation,” but it was a drowsy frontier village when budding photographer Annette Ross Hume arrived in 1890. Home to a federal agency charged with serving the many American Indian tribes in the area, the town burgeoned when the U.S. government auctioned off building lots at the turn of the twentieth century. Hume faithfully documented its explosive growth and the American Indians she encountered. Her extraordinary photographs are collected here for the first time. In their introduction, authors Kristina L. Southwell and John R. Lovett provide an illuminating biography of Hume, focusing on her life in Anadarko and the development of her photographic skills. Born in 1858, in Perrysburg, Ohio, Hume moved to Oklahoma Territory with her husband after he accepted an appointment as physician for the Kiowa, Comanche, and Wichita Agency. She soon acquired a camera and began documenting daily life. Her portraits of everyday life are unforgettable — images of Indian mothers with babies in cradleboards, tribal elders (including Comanche chief Quanah Parker) conducting council meetings, families receiving their issue of beef from the government agent, and men and women engaging in the popular pastime of gambling. In 1927, historian Edward Everett Dale, on behalf of the University of Oklahoma, purchased Hume’s original glass plates for the university’s newly launched Western History Collections. The Annette Ross Hume collection has been a favorite of researchers for many years. Now this elegant volume makes Hume’s photographs more widely accessible, allowing a unique glimpse into a truly diverse American West.

You Are Your Decisions

By: Love Ekenberg,Harald Kjellin,Kristina Sygel

There are basically two categories of books on decision-making. One tells stories of how intuition guides decision-making. The other delineates a formal approach, based on decision-trees or matrices, often impenetrable to real-life decision makers. This book combines the best elements of both perspectives in a way that can be easily understood by all who are struggling with complex decisions, either as individuals or as organisations. It demonstrates how intuition and psychological insights can be harnessed to design relevant models and decision strategies, and describes how goals can be adequately formed and operationalised. Finally, the book integrates these processes in an analytical framework for decision-making.

Vital Decomposition

Soil Practitioners and Life Politics

By: Kristina M. Lyons

In Colombia, decades of social and armed conflict and the US-led war on drugs have created a seemingly untenable situation for scientists and rural communities as they attempt to care for forests and grow non-illicit crops. In Vital Decomposition Kristina M. Lyons presents an ethnography of human-soil relations. She follows state soil scientists and peasants across labs, greenhouses, forests, and farms and attends to the struggles and collaborations between farmers, agrarian movements, state officials, and scientists over the meanings of peace, productivity, rural development, and sustainability in Colombia. In particular, Lyons examines the practices and philosophies of rural farmers who value the decomposing layers of leaves, which make the soils that sustain life in the Amazon, and shows how the study and stewardship of the soil point to alternative frameworks for living and dying. In outlining the life-making processes that compose and decompose into soil, Lyons theorizes how life can thrive in the face of the violence, criminalization, and poisoning produced by militarized, growth-oriented development.
