Elvis by the Presleys

Intimate Stories from Priscilla Presley, Lisa Marie Presley, and Other Family Members

By: Priscilla Presley,Lisa Marie Presley

An intimate account of legendary entertainer Elvis Presley, featuring stunning photography and exclusive stories from Priscilla Presley, Lisa Marie Presley, and more Behind the King of Rock and Roll was a husband, father, son, cousin, friend, and spiritual seeker. In Elvis by the Presleys, those who knew him best come together to memorialize our greatest star, featuring hours of exclusive family interviews, Elvis quotes, and private family photographs and images of personal memorabilia from the archives of Graceland/Elvis Presley Enterprises. Elvis by the Presleys reveals life at Graceland like never before. Graceland is seen as a teeming family retreat, where the kitchen was the center of operations; where tag football games were played in the yard; where folks drove golf carts up and down the hills; and where Elvis spent many of his happiest times. We witness the arc of his love affair with Priscilla; Elvis as a father to his adored Lisa Marie; his obsessions and passions; and the strength of his musical legacy, which continues unabated to this day. There are Christmas cards here, too; contracts and invoices; selections from Lisa Marie’s childhood scrapbook; and even a picture of the champagne bottle (signed) from Elvis and Priscilla’s wedding. Elvis by the Presleys is the tumultuous story of the life of a lovely yet complex man; a portrait of the career of a brilliantly accomplished yet often frustrated artist; an insider’s tale of enduring love, related with warmth and unguarded candor . . . and a story told the way only a family can tell it.

Tuscaloosa

By: Amalia K. Amaki,Priscilla N. Davis

In the 1960s, Tuscaloosa drew national attention when the University of Alabama was fully integrated. The decade also marked the arrival of Paul "Bear" Bryant as head coach of Alabama's football team and the majority of Frank Anthony Rose's tenure as president--a period characterized by race mediation and increases in enrollment, assets, and academic standards. For the next 50 years, sports, education, cultural and recreational opportunities, and business developments contributed to the city and the lifestyles of its residents. Tuscaloosa has associations with people such as F. David Mathews (who concurrently served as president of Alabama and as a secretary under Pres. Gerald Ford), writer Richard Yates (Revolutionary Road), actress Sela Ward, and quarterback Joe Namath.

White Rebels in Black

German Appropriation of Black Popular Culture

By: Priscilla Dionne Layne

Analyzing literary texts and films, White Rebels in Black shows how German authors have since the 1950s appropriated black popular culture, particularly music, to distance themselves from the legacy of Nazi Germany, authoritarianism, and racism, and how such appropriation changes over time. Priscilla Layne offers a critique of how blackness came to symbolize a positive escape from the hegemonic masculinity of postwar Germany, and how black identities have been represented as separate from, and in opposition to, German identity, foreclosing the possibility of being both black and German. Citing four autobiographies published by black German authors Hans Jürgen Massaquo, Theodor Michael, Günter Kaufmann, and Charly Graf, Layne considers how black German men have related to hegemonic masculinity since Nazi Germany, and concludes with a discussion on the work of black German poet, Philipp Khabo Köpsell.

Storytime in India

Wedding Songs, Victorian Tales, and the Ethnographic Experience

By: Helen Priscilla Myers,Umesh Chandra Pandey

An American ethnomusicologist and her Indian collaborator recount their experiences researching Bhojpuri wedding songs in India. Stories are the backbone of ethnographic research. During fieldwork, subjects describe their lives through stories. Afterward ethnographers come home from their journeys with stories of their own about their experiences in the field. Storytime in India is an exploration of the stories that come out of ethnographic fieldwork. Helen Priscilla Myers and Umesh Chandra Pandey examine the ways in which their research collecting Bhojpuri wedding songs became interwoven with the stories of their lives, their work together, and their shared experience reading The Eustace Diamonds by Anthony Trollope. Moving through these intertwined stories, the reader learns about the complete Bhojpuri wedding tradition through songs sung by Gangajali and access to the original song recordings and their translations. In the interludes, Pandey reads and interprets The Eustace Diamonds, confronting the reader with the ever-present influence of colonialism, both in India and in ethnographic fieldwork. Interwoven throughout are stories of the everyday, highlighting the ups and downs of the ethnographic experience. Storytime in India combines the style of the Victorian novel with the structure of traditional Indian village tales, in which stories are told within stories. This book questions how we can and should present ethnography as well as what we really learn in the field. As Myers and Pandey ultimately conclude, writers of scholarly books are storytellers themselves and scholarly books are a form of art, just like the traditions they study.

Heritage and Tourism in The Global Village

By: Priscilla Boniface,Peter Fowler

A nation's heritage is one of the most potent forces for generating tourism: the Tower of London is the greatest 'visitor attraction' in Britain. But it is pushed into insignificance by comparison with the visitors travelling to Disneyland, Epcot and the other entertainment complexes in the USA; and it will be dwarfed by Euro-Disneyland east of Paris. So how should heritage attractions respond: should they find their own specific audiences and resources? This book, written by a leading hertage specialist, is essential reading for all those concerned both with heritage and leisure managment. International in scope, it examines successfgul examples of heritage management for tourism, and equally some failures. It aims to lay some useful ground rules which should underpin all heritage developments designed to attract tourism on a major scale.

Wings of Night Sky, Wings of Morning Light

A Play by Joy Harjo and a Circle of Responses

By: Joy Harjo,Priscilla Page

Joy Harjo's play Wings of Night Sky, Wings of Morning Light is the centerpiece of this collection that includes essays and interviews concerning the roots and the reaches of contemporary Native Theater. Harjo blends storytelling, music, movement, and poetic language in Wings of Night Sky, Wings of Morning Light—a healing ceremony that chronicles the challenges young protagonist Redbird faces on her path to healing and self-determination. This text is accompanied by interviews with Native theater artists Rolland Meinholtz and Randy Reinholz, as well as an interview with Harjo, conducted by Page. The interviews highlight the lives and contributions of Meinholtz, a theater artist and educator who served as the drama instructor at the Institute of American Indian Arts from 1964–70 and a close mentor and friend to Harjo; and Reinholz, producing artistic director of Native Voices at the Autry, the nation's only Equity theater company dedicated exclusively to the development and production of new plays by Native American, First Nations, and Alaska Native playwrights. The new interview with Harjo focuses on her experiences working in theater. Essays on Harjo's work are provided by Mary Kathryn Nagle—an enrolled citizen of the Cherokee nation, playwright, and attorney who shares her insights on the legal and historical frameworks through which we can better understand the significance of Harjo's play; and Priscilla Page—writer, performer, and educator (of Wiyot heritage), who looks at indigenous feminism, jazz, and performance as influences on Harjo's theatrical work.

Stolen Childhood

The Three Cs

By: Priscilla Musonda

Priscilla Musonda has no idea how she survived such a hard life, but she knows why. The survivor of a lifetime of sexual abuse, she has grown to serve as a beacon for other child victims. In Stolen Childhood, she shares chilling, detailed accounts of her life in Zambia as the sexual slave of her father. The abuse began when she was just five years old, and as a result, her relatives shunned her and predicted that she would never marry. She struggled to complete her education as the nightmare continued. As a teen, she was forced to marry her own father, a polygamist with three other wives. She bore him four children who have also been shunned by her family. Desperate, she ran away to live on the streets. Her life was grim, but not as grim as the future they predicted for her. But Priscilla is a survivor, not a victim. She dreams of building a sanctuary, school, and psychosocial centre in Zambia. She shares her story with strong language and imagery, to help the reader truly understand what she went through. She wants to do everything she can to get others to take the claims of children seriously. Ten percent of the proceeds from the sale of her story will go to benefit the work of PSHAF.

Border Crossings

Thomas King's Cultural Inversions

By: Arnold E. Davidson,Priscilla L.. Walton,Priscilla L. Walton,Jennifer Courtney Elizabeth Andrews

Thomas King is the first Native writer to generate widespread interest in both Canada and the United States. He has been nominated twice for Governor General's Awards, and his first novel, Medicine River, has been transformed into a CBC movie. His books have been reviewed in publications such as The New York Times Book Review, The Globe and Mail, and People magazine. King is also the author of the serialized radio series The Dead Dog Café and is an accomplished photographer. Border Crossings is the first full-length study to explore King's art. Davidson, Walton, and Andrews employ a framework of postcolonial and border studies theory to examine the concepts of nation, race, and sexuality in King's work. They examine how King's art routinely explores cross-cultural dynamics, including Native rights and race relations, American and Canadian cultural interaction, and the artistic traditions of Europe and North America. The authors argue that, by situating these concepts within a comic framework, King avoids the polemics that often surface in cultural critiques. His writing engages, entertains, and educates. This provocative analysis of King's art reads across cultures and between borders, and makes an important contribution to the study of Native writing, Canadian and American literature, border studies, and humour studies.

The Marriage of Maria Braun

By: Priscilla Layne

The Marriage of Maria Braun

By: Priscilla Layne

A new reading of Fassbinder's most popular film that highlights the roles of race and gender. The Marriage of Maria Braun is the most popular film by the enfant terrible director Rainer Werner Fassbinder, the leading exponent of the "New German Cinema" of the early sixties to early eighties. It exemplifies his use and abuse of the genre of melodrama. Set in the immediate postwar period and centered around a strong female protagonist, Maria Braun (1978) was the first film in a trilogy that attempts to work through West Germany's fraught past and the legacy of Nazi Germany through the eyes of characters marginalized by their gender, race, sexuality, or (dis)ability. Maria attempts to navigate the poverty and sexism of the immediate postwar years by making her relationships with men as beneficial as possible. In the end, she discovers she has been a pawn in a power game between her husband, long thought killed on the Eastern Front, and her long-time lover Bill, an African-American GI. Yet Maria is also complicit in racism and white patriarchy, a fact that scholarship on the film has barely registered. In her new reading, Priscilla Layne draws on archival research, Critical Race Theory, Black Feminist Thought, and Critical Whiteness Studies to expand on the role of race and gender in the film.

Gestohlene Kindheit

Die Drei Cs

By: Priscilla Musonda

Priscilla Musonda hat keine Ahnung, wie sie dieses Leben überlebt hat, aber sie weiss warum. Als Überlebende eines lebenslangen sexuellen Missbrauchs ist sie zum Rettungsanker für andere Opfer im Kindesalter geworden. In Gestohlene Kindheit schildert sie die erschreckenden Einzelheiten ihres Lebens in Zambia als Sexsklavin ihres Vaters. Die Übergriffe begannen, als sie gerade mal fünf Jahre alt war und ihre Verwandten ächteten sie deswegen und sagten ihre ein Leben ohne Ehemann voraus. Sie kämpfte um ihre Schulbildung, während sie weiterhin die Übergriffe ihres Vaters ertragen musste. Als Teenager wurde sie gezwungen, ihren Vater zu heiraten, der in polygamer Ehe mit drei weiteren Frauen lebte. Sie gebar ihm vier Kinder—welche ebenfalls von ihrer Familie geächtet wurden. In ihrer Verzweiflung lief sie weg und lebte auf der Strasse. Sie führte ein bitteres Leben, aber nicht so bitter, wie es ihr prophezeiht wurde. Priscilla ist eine Überlebende, nicht ein Opfer. Sie träumt davon, ein Schlupfhaus, eine Schule und ein psychosoziales Zentrum in Zambia zu gründen. Sie erzählt ihre Geschichte in einer ausdruckstarken Sprache und in eindrücklichen Bildern, um dem Leser deutlich zu machen, was sie durch gemacht hat. Sie versucht alles zu tun, damit die Anliegen der Kinder ernst genommen werden. Zehn Prozent des Verkaugfserlöses dieses Buches kommen PSHAF zugute.

Where Heaven is Now

By: Priscilla Ford

He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto eternal life. ""John 12:25 The words that Jesus spoke are so often misunderstood that people pretend they are not in the Holy Bible. It is human nature to destroy those people and those things which they do not understand. How do you feel while you know exactly when you're going to die? Where Heaven Is Now will try to answer this question and many more. A man does descend from the clouds of heaven, and his name just happens to be Jesus. Life is what's happening while most people are making other plans. The recognition of Christ becomes virtually impossible if it is not recognized in one's self. So this man, Jesus, arrives via parachute in a small town in Ohio. It turns out to be quite an experience and somewhat of an adventure. People have often asked the question, "What would Jesus say?" or "What would Jesus do?" The end of the world is an individual thing, and so is entering heaven. It's human nature to feast on mass hysteria and look forward to sensational occurrences. So many years of preaching and singing about something that never happens becomes unnecessary to the meaning. The book is enjoyable to read and thought provoking.

The Final Curtain

By: Priscilla Masters

“A particularly intriguing mystery” featuring a female police detective and a former child star with secrets to hide (Booklist). Just back from her honeymoon, Detective Inspector Joanna Piercy heads back to work in Staffordshire, England, and gets handed a case she can do without: nuisance calls from an old lady ringing the police incessantly to report seemingly trivial incidents. The woman in question is Timony Weeks, a child star of the sixties in the once-popular soap Butterfield Farm, who now lives in an isolated farmhouse. It seems unlikely that someone is really moving her nightdress around or leaving a dead mouse in her bread box. Joanna is sure she’s putting on an act and wasting police time. But as things escalate, something doesn’t feel right, and as Joanna digs into Timony’s past, she finds that the aging actress may be in danger after all . . . “A solid police procedural especially likely to appeal to 1960s nostalgia buffs.” —Kirkus Reviews
