The yearly volumes of Censored, in continuous publication since
1976 and since 1995 available through Seven Stories Press, is
dedicated to the stories that ought to be top features on the
nightly news, but that are missing because of media bias and
self-censorship. The top stories are listed democratically in order
of importance according to students, faculty, and a national panel
of judges. Each of the top stories is presented at length,
alongside updates from the investigative reporters who broke the
stories.
From Tribute to Communal Sovereignty examines both continuity and
change over the last five centuries for the indigenous peoples of
Central Western Mexico, providing the first sweeping and
comprehensive regional history of this important region in
Mesoamerica. The continuities elucidated concern ancestral
territorial claims that date back centuries and reflect the stable
geographic locations occupied by core populations of indigenous
language-speakers in or near their pre-Columbian territories since
the Postclassical period, from the thirteenth to late fifteenth
centuries. A common theme of this volume is the strong cohesive
forces present, not only in the colonial construction of Christian
village communities in Purhepecha and Nahuatl groups in Michoacan
but also in the demographically less inclusive Huichol (Wixarika)
and Cora and Tepehuan groups, whose territories were more
extensive. The authors review a cluster of related themes:
settlement patterns of the last five centuries in Central Western
Mexico, language distribution, ritual representation of
territoriality, processes of collective identity, and the forms of
participation and resistance during different phases of Mexican
state formation. From such research, the question arises: does the
village community constitute a unique level of organization of the
experience of the original peoples of Central Western Mexico? The
chapters address this question in rich and complex ways by first
focusing on the past configurations and changes in lifeways during
the transition from pre-Columbian to Spanish rule in tributary
empires, then examining the long-term postcolonial process of
Mexican Independence that introduced the emerging theme of the
communal sovereignty.
Depression, anxiety and other quality of life challenges are common
in people with cancer, though few oncology practices have dedicated
psychiatric consultants familiar with the nuances of
psycho-oncology. Written from the combined perspectives of a
prescriber and non-prescriber, Psychopharmacology in Cancer Care
intends to bridge this common gap in specialized care to facilitate
the improved psychotropic treatment of emotional distress in cancer
patients. Non-prescribers will learn to observe for potential
indications for psychopharmacological interventions, make timely
referrals, and monitor the benefits and side effects of
medications. Prescribers will benefit from diagnostic and clinical
pearls geared towards the unique symptoms and comorbidities of
cancer patients. Presented in a digestible format with case reports
highlighted throughout, this book will enable non-prescribers and
prescribers alike to recognize and discuss the overlap of physical
and emotional situations in people with cancer more clearly.
