Remembering Histories of Trauma compares and links Native American,
First Nation and Jewish histories of traumatic memory. Using source
material from both sides of the Atlantic, it examines the
differences between ancestral experiences of genocide and the
representation of those histories in public sites in the United
States, Canada and Europe. Challenging the ways public bodies have
used those histories to frame the cultural and political identity
of regions, states, and nations, it considers the effects of those
representations on internal group memory, external public memory
and cultural assimilation. Offering new ways to understand the
Native-Jewish encounter by highlighting shared critiques of public
historical representation, Mailer seeks to transcend historical
tensions between Native American studies and Holocaust studies. In
linking and comparing European and American contexts of historical
trauma and their representation in public memory, this book brings
Native American studies, Jewish studies, early American history,
Holocaust studies, and museum studies into conversation with each
other. In revealing similarities in the public representation of
Indigenous genocide and the Holocaust it offers common ground for
Jewish and Indigenous histories, and provides a new framework to
better understand the divergence between traumatic histories and
the ways they are memorialized.

youth, especially African American males, are lost; many of them
can be found inside Behavior Disorder classes in America's public
school system. This book examines how African American males end up

Football Book of the Year The fifteenth anniversary edition, fully
revised and updated, of Jonathan Wilson's modern classic. In the
modern classic, Jonathan Wilson pulls apart the finer details of
the world's game, tracing the global history of tactics, from
modern pioneers right back to the beginning, when chaos reigned.
Along the way, he looks at the lives of great players and thinkers
who shaped the sport, and probes why the English, in particular,
have proved themselves unwilling to grapple with the abstract.
Fully revised and updated, this fifteenth-anniversary edition
analyses the evolution of modern international football, including
the 2022 World Cup, charting the influence of the great Spanish,
German and Portuguese tacticians of the last decade, whilst
pondering the effects of footballs increased globalisation and
commercialisation.
According to acclaimed writer Isak Dinesen, the cure for anything
is salt water, and most coastal Mainers would likely agree. The
distinct sense of place one gets in Maine is instilled at early age
and living along Maine's rugged coast requires a combination of
industriousness, flexibility, and self-sufficiency, all coupled
with a profound sense of community. Like barnacles on a tidal
ledge, these close-knit communities cling to the edge of the sea.
They have salt in their veins, and the Maine coast is their
ecosystem. In this book about people, Charlie Wing talks with some
of the hardy folk who call this place home. Here are stories of
lobstermen, boatbuilders, artists, writers, and teachers who opened
up to Charlie and share their feelings on world events, government,
the weather, and people from away.
In this book, readers are shown how dogs fit into ancient Greek
society with material from the last 90 years of excavations at the
Athenian Agora by the American School of Classical Studies at
Athens. Topics range from how ancient Greeks hunted with dogs and
what they considered a proper dog's name to the excavation of
tender burials in the Agora and the sacrifice of dogs to the gods
of the underworld. Mythological dogs like the three-headed Kerberos
appear, as do the pawprints that very real dogs left behind more
than a thousand years ago. Dozens of illustrations of pottery,
sculpture, and excavated remains enliven the text. Anyone curious
about dogs in antiquity and how they relate to dogs in the present
day will be sure to find interesting material in this portable,
affordable text.
Winner of the 2021 New Voices Book Award by the Society for
Linguistic Anthropology Exploring the ways in which the development
of linguistic practices helped expand national politics in remote,
rural areas of Venezuela, Language and Revolutionary Magic in the
Orinoco Delta situates language as a mediating force in the
creation of the 'magical state'. Focusing on the Waraos speakers of
the Orinoco Delta, this book explores center–periphery dynamics
in Venezuela through an innovative linguistic anthropological lens.
Using a semiotic framework informed by concepts of 'transduction'
and 'translation', this book combines ethnographic and historical
evidence to analyze the ideological mediation and linguistic
practices involved in managing a multi-ethnic citizenry in
Venezuela. Juan Luis Rodriguez shows how indigenous populations
participate in the formation and contestation of state power
through daily practices and the use of different speech genres,
emphasising the performative and semiotic work required to produce
revolutionary subjects. Establishing the centrality of language and
semiosis in the constitution of authority and political power, this
book moves away from seeing revolution in solely economic or
ideological terms. Through the collision between Warao and Spanish,
it highlights how language ideologies can exclude or integrate
indigenous populations in the public sphere and how they were
transformed by Hugo Chavez' revolutionary government to promote
loyalty to the regime.
