Philip Marchand - L'Empire fantôme, De ces Françai s qui ont failli conquérir l'Amérique du Nord (200 9).jpg

O USA - Philip Marchand - LEmpire fantme, De ces Franais qui ont failli conqurir lAmrique du Nord 2009.jpg

« Face aux immensités boisées de l’Amérique du Nord, un Européen avait deux possibilités. Il pouvait les regarder comme une horrible contrée désertique, remplie d’humains dangereux (plus tôt on en serait débarrassés, mieux ce serait) – à la manière des gens de la Nouvelle-Angleterre. Ou il pouvait les voir comme le royaume de la liberté, belle, dure, impitoyable, à la manière de La Salle ». Après avoir exploré les Grands Lacs et le Mississippi en son entier, La Salle fut assassiné par ses propres hommes au cours d’une mission désastreuse au Texas. Mais l’immense pays qu’il avait revendiqué en 1682 au nom de la France aurait pu devenir – si l’histoire avait pris un autre tour – une Amérique du Nord alternative : un empire francophone, s’étendant à plusieurs milliers de kilomètres au-delà du Québec, qui aurait été de religion catholique et dans lequel les peuples autochtones auraient pu jouer un rôle différent

Historia alternatywna, oparta na francuskich próbach opanowania całego kontynentu Ameryki Północnej - Co by było, gdyby Francuzom udało się podbić całą Amerykę Północną, i tam stworzyliby katolickie imperium frankofońskie w którym tubylcy byliby inaczej traktowani.

Robert Griffin - One Sheaf, One Vine, Racially Con scious White Americans Talk About Race (2004).jpeg

ONE SHEAF, ONE VINE RACIALLY CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS TALK ABOUT RACE This book is made up of the personal statements about race from seventeen white Americans. What they share is that, for them, the fact that they are white is more than an incidental, insignificant, or peripheral aspect of their being; it is central to how they view themselves and conduct their lives. The men and women you will meet in this book aren't public figures or leaders of organizations. They are everyday people: a postal worker from Philadelphia, a college student from Texas, an attorney from New York City, a bookstore owner from Washington State, an appliance repair man from Connecticut, a teacher from Chicago, and so on. We have a very negative image of racially conscious and committed whites gained largely from the media: neo-Nazi bigots, menacing skin heads, thugs who commit hate crimes. We are informed about people of this sort, but we don't hear from them. They aren't on television news shows speaking for themselves. They don't make movies or publish books. Politicians don't articulate their perspective or advocate their positions. Journalists and intellectuals don't write about them unless it is to be little them. Schools make no attempt to deal with them objectively. In this book, you'll hear from them. The words in this book are the speakers' as they spoke them; they haven't been altered, softened, or censored. And more than come to know their thoughts on race, you'll meet these people as human beings. Some of them you won't soon forget. Democracy depends on the free exchange of ideas. You make the call whether what these Americans have to say is to any extent valid. You decide whether what they say has any implications for what you believe and the way you believe.

Rupert Wilkinson - Aiding Students, Buying Student s, Financial Aid in America (2005).jpg

From the first scholarship given to Harvard in 1643 to today's world of "enrollment management" and federal grants and loans, the author gives a lively social and economic history of the conflicting purposes of student aid. His research for this book is based on archives and interviews at 131 public and private institutions across the United States.

In the words of Joe Paul Case, "Wilkinson has mined the archives of dozens of institutions to create a mosaic that details the progress of student assistance from the 17th century to the present. He gives particular attention to the origins of need-based assistance, from the charitable benevolence of early colleges to the regulation-laden policies of the federal government. He gives due consideration to institutional motive-he challenges the egalitarian platitudes of affluent colleges and questions the countervailing market and economic forces that may imperil need-based aid at less competitive institutions. By drawing on scores of personal interviews and exchanges of correspondence with aid practitioners, Wilkinson fleshes out recent decades, helping the reader to understand new trends in the provision of aid."

Concord - Mini Colour Series 7515 - Carl Schulze - Stryker, Interim Armored Vehicle (2007).jpg

The new Stryker Interim Armored Vehicle (IAV) of the U.S. Army has attracted a lot of attention since its introduction several years ago. While it has come in for some strong criticism from some quarters, this volume offers an objective look at this important new wheeled armored vehicle of the U.S. Army.
In Carl Schulze's inimitable style, he outlines how the Stryker fits in with the Army's Interim Brigade Combat Team philosophy. In actual fact, the Stryker is based on a tried and tested formula, with this GDLS/MOWAG vehicle already in service with countries such as Canada, Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand, Spain and Switzerland. This volume provided an enormous amount of detail about the Stryker, and the vast majority of its pages are devoted to examining the different variants in photographs and in written descriptions. Excellent detail is provided on the standard Infantry Carrier Vehicle, Reconnaissance Vehicle, Mobile Gun System, Mortar Carrier, Command Vehicle, Fire Support Vehicle, Engineer Squad Vehicle, Medical Evacuation Vehicle, ATGM Vehicle, and NBC Reconnaissance Vehicle.
For this book, the duo of Carl Schulze and Ralph Zwilling has succeeded in collecting a tremendous range of photos. They mostly show vehicles in action operationally in Iraq, as well as on exercise in Germany. This means the slat armor system employed on Strykers deployed to Iraq gets good coverage also. For modelers or military vehicle buffs interested in this impressive new vehicle, then this authoritative book should be the first port of call!

Simon During - Exit Capitalism, Literary Culture, Theory and Post-Secular Modernity (2009).jpg

Exit Capitalism explores a new path for cultural studies and re-examines key moments of British cultural and literary history. Simon During argues that the long and liberating journey towards democratic state capitalism has led to an unhappy dead-end from which there is no imaginable exit.

In this context, what do the humanities look like? What’s alive and what’s dead in the culture and its heritage?

It becomes clear that the contemporary world order remains imperfect not just because it is unjust but because it cannot meet ethical standards produced in a past that still knew genuine hope. Simon During emphasises the need to rethink the position of Christianity and religion in the past, and at a more concrete level, also analyses how the decline of the socialist ideal and the emergence of endgame capitalism helped to produce both modern theory and cultural studies as academic fields.

John Madeley - Big Business, Poor Peoples, How Tra nsnational Corporations Damage the Global Poor (20 09).jpg

This new and updated edition of Big Business, Poor Peoples exposes how many of the natural resources of developing countries are being ceded to transnational corporations answerable to no one but their shareholders. The author argues that transnational corporations have used their money, size and power to influence international negotiations and that they have taken full advantage of the move towards privatization to influence the policies of governments. Sovereignty, he concludes, is passing into corporate hands and the poor are paying the price. But people are fighting back. Citizens, workers, communities, are exposing the corporations and looking for alternatives.

Alexandra Harmon - Indians in the Making, Ethnic R elations and Indian Identities around Puget Sound (1999).jpg

America Indian culture and traditions have survived an unusual amount of oppressive federal and state educational policies intended to assimilate Indian people and destroy their cultures and languages. Yet, Indian culture, traditions, and people often continue to be treated as objects in the classroom and in the curriculum. Using a critical race theory framework and a unique "counternarrative" methodology, American Indian Education explores a host of modern educational issues facing American Indian peoples-from the impact of Indian sports mascots on students and communities, to the uses and abuses of law that often never reach a courtroom, and the intergenerational impacts of American Indian education policy on Indian children today. By interweaving empirical research with accessible composite narratives, Matthew Fletcher breaches the gap between solid educational policy and the on-the-ground reality of Indian students, highlighting the challenges faced by American Indian students and paving the way for an honest discussion about solutions.

Alison R. Bernstein - American Indians and World W ar II, Toward a New Era in Indian Affairs (1991).jpg

The impact on Indian affairs of World War II, it can be argued, was more profound and lasting than that of any other event or policy - including Roosevelt's Indian New Deal and efforts to terminate federal responsibility for tribes under Eisenhower. Focusing on the period 1941 to 1947, Alison R. Bernstein explains why termination and tribal self-determination were logical results of the Indians' World War II experiences.

Claudio Saunt - Black, White, and Indian, Race and the Unmaking of an American Family (2005).jpg

Deceit, compromise, and betrayal were the painful costs of becoming American for many families. For people of Indian, African, and European descent living in the newly formed United States, the most personal and emotional choices--to honor a friendship or pursue an intimate relationship--were often necessarily guided by the harsh economic realities imposed by the country's racial hierarchy. Few families in American history embody this struggle to survive the pervasive onslaught of racism more than the Graysons.
Like many other residents of the eighteenth-century Native American South, where Black-Indian relations bore little social stigma, Katy Grayson and her brother William--both Creek Indians--had children with partners of African descent. As the plantation economy began to spread across their native land soon after the birth of the American republic, however, Katy abandoned her black partner and children to marry a Scottish-Creek man. She herself became a slaveholder, embracing slavery as a public display of her elevated place in America's racial hierarchy. William, by contrast, refused to leave his black wife and their several children and even legally emancipated them.
Traveling separate paths, the Graysons survived the invasion of the Creek Nation by U.S. troops in 1813 and again in 1836 and endured the Trail of Tears, only to confront each other on the battlefield during the Civil War. Afterwards, they refused to recognize each other's existence. In 1907, when Creek Indians became U.S. citizens, Oklahoma gave force of law to the family schism by defining some Graysons as white, others as black. Tracking a full five generations of the Grayson family and basing his account in part on unprecedented access to the forty-four volume diary of G. W. Grayson, the one-time principal chief of the Creek Nation, Claudio Saunt tells not only of America's past, but of its present, shedding light on one of the most contentious issues in Indian politics, the role of "blood" in the construction of identity.
Overwhelmed by the racial hierarchy in the United States and compelled to adopt the very ideology that oppressed them, the Graysons denied their kin, enslaved their relatives, married their masters, and went to war against each other. Claudio Saunt gives us not only a remarkable saga in its own right but one that illustrates the centrality of race in the American experience.

O USA - Edwin L. Chalcraft - Assimilations Agent, My Life as a S...Superintendent in the Indian Boarding School System.2004.jpg

Assimilation’s Agent reveals the life and opinions of Edwin L. Chalcraft (1855–1943), a superintendent in the federal Indian boarding schools during the critical period of forced assimilation in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Chalcraft was hired by the Office of Indian Affairs (now known as the Bureau of Indian Affairs) in 1883. During his nearly four decades of service, he worked at a number of Indian boarding schools and agencies, including the Chehalis Indian School in Oakville, Washington; Puyallup Indian School in Tacoma, Washington; Chemawa Indian School in Salem, Oregon; Wind River Indian School in Wind River, Wyoming; Jones Male Academy in Hartshorne, Oklahoma; and Siletz Indian Agency in Oregon.

Gail Guthrie Valaskakis - Indian Country, Essays o n Contemporary Native Culture (2005).jpg

Since first contact, Natives and newcomers have been involved in an increasingly complex struggle over power and identity. Modern “Indian wars” are fought over land and treaty rights, artistic appropriation, and academic analysis, while Native communities struggle among themselves over membership, money, and cultural meaning. In cultural and political arenas across North America, Natives enact and newcomers protest issues of traditionalism, sovereignty, and self-determination. In these struggles over domination and resistance, over different ideologies and Indian identities, neither Natives nor other North Americans recognize the significance of being rooted together in history and culture, or how representations of “Indianness” set them in opposition to each other.

In Indian Country: Essays on Contemporary Native Culture, Gail Guthrie Valaskakis uses a cultural studies approach to offer a unique perspective on Native political struggle and cultural conflict in both Canada and the United States. She reflects on treaty rights and traditionalism, media warriors, Indian princesses, powwow, museums, art, and nationhood. According to Valaskakis, Native and non-Native people construct both who they are and their relations with each other in narratives that circulate through art, anthropological method, cultural appropriation, and Native reappropriation. For Native peoples and Others, untangling the past—personal, political, and cultural—can help to make sense of current struggles over power and identity that define the Native experience today.

Grounded in theory and threaded with Native voices and evocative descriptions of “Indian” experience (including the author’s), the essays interweave historical and political process, personal narrative, and cultural critique. This book is an important contribution to Native studies that will appeal to anyone interested in First Nations’ experience and popular culture.

Hollis D. Stabler - No One Ever Asked Me, The Worl d War II Memoirs of an Omaha Indian Soldier (2005).jpg

As a young adolescent, Hollis Dorion Stabler underwent a Native ceremony in which he was given the new name Na-zhin-thia, Slow to Rise. It was a name that no white person asked to know during Hollis's tour of duty in Anzio, his unacknowledged difference as an Omaha Indian adding to the poignancy of his uneasy fellowship with foreign and American soldiers alike. Stabler’s story—coming of age on the American plains, going to war, facing new estrangement upon coming home—is a universal one, rendered wonderfully strange and personal by Stabler’s uncommon perspective, which embraces two worlds, and by his unique voice. Stabler's experiences during World War II—tours of duty in Tunisia and Morocco as well as Italy and France, and the loss of his brother in battle—are at the center of this powerful memoir, which tells of growing up as an Omaha Indian in the small-town Midwest of Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and Oklahoma in the 1920s and 1930s. A descendant of the Indians who negotiated with Lewis and Clark on the Missouri River, Stabler describes a childhood that was a curious mixture of progressivism and Indian tradition, and that culminated in his enlisting in the old horse cavalry when war broke out—a path not so very different from that walked by his ancestors. Victoria Smith, of Cherokee-Delaware descent, interweaves historical insight with Stabler’s vivid reminiscences, providing a rich context for this singular life.

John Bloom - To Show What an Indian Can Do, Sports at Native American Boarding Schools (2000).jpg

Sports/Native American Studies A compelling and inspiring account of Native American student athletes. Between 1899 and 1917, the football team of Pennsylvania's Carlisle Indian School rose to national prominence, competing-and winning-against the country's most formidable programs: Harvard, Army, and Pennsylvania. Under Carlisle's legendary coach, Glenn "Pop" Warner, players such as Gus Welch, William Henry "Lone Star" Dietz, and most notably Jim Thorpe-perhaps the century's greatest athlete-became household names. Together with other athletes, including Hall of Fame baseball pitcher Charles Albert "Chief" Bender and distance runner Louis Tewanima, they helped change the country's attitudes toward Native Americans.
The Carlisle Indian School and the Haskell Institute in Kansas were among the many federally operated boarding schools enacting the U.S. government's education policy toward Native Americans from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, one designed to remove children from familiar surroundings and impose mainstream American culture upon them. To Show What an Indian Can Do explores the history of sports programs at these institutions and, drawing on the recollections of former students, describes the importance of competitive sport in their lives. Author John Bloom focuses on the male and female students who did not typically go on to greater athletic glory but who found in sports something otherwise denied them by the boarding school program: a sense of community, accomplishment, and dignity.
