Increasingly, Indigenous people are being drawn into global
networks. In the long term, cultural isolation is unlikely to be a
viable even if sometimes desired option, so how can Indigenous
people protect and advance their cultural values in the face of
pressures from an interconnected world? Indigenous Cultures in an
Interconnected World is a comprehensive, thought provoking
discussion of the challenges that globalisation brings to
Indigenous peoples. It discusses successful strategies that have
been used by Indigenous peoples to promote their identities and
cultural values. It looks at their roles as equal and active
participants and, indeed, as innovators and leaders in an
interconnected world. The chapters in this book present a global
perspective on Indigenous issues. They feature a cross-disciplinary
integration that takes a holistic approach in-line with that of
most Indigenous peoples and include vignettes of Indigenous
cultural practices.

The authors discuss the archaeological evidence for gender
distinctions from Africa, East Asia, South Asia, Australia, Europe,
Mesoamerica, North America, and South America. Although some
regions of the world have only been studied sporadically, this
volume brings together the totality of the evidence to make it
possible to compare sexual roles and identities from far-flung
cultures of vastly different time periods. Worlds of Gender is an
excellent resource for comparative cultural studies and gender
studies, as well as a useful examination of how gender roles affect
social structures.

Oklahoma is bound to both the South and the Southwest and their
legacies of conquest and Indigenous survivance. At the same time,
mobility, ingenuity, cultural exchange, and creative
expression—all part of the experience of urbanization—have been
fundamental to people of the tribes that call this place home.
Tulsa, New Orleans, and Santa Fe, with their importance in
histories of geopolitical upheaval and mobility that shaped the
establishment of the United States, are key to uncovering the
history of urbanization experienced by Native Americans from
Oklahoma. Urban Homelands, while examining the overlooked histories
of Oklahoma Indigenous urbanization relative to these regions,
engages literature and film as not just mirrors of experience but
as producers of it. Lindsey Claire Smith brings the work of
three-time poet laureate Joy Harjo into conversation with the great
Cherokee playwright Lynn Riggs and breakout filmmaker Sterlin
Harjo. Flying in the face of civic landmarks and settler histories
that at once obscure Native origins and appropriate Native culture
for tourism, this creative reclaiming of Indigenous cities points
toward the productive possibilities of recognizing untold urban
histories and the creative relationships with urban space itself.

'Generous stories and lessons from authors who feel like friends.'
Jamila Rizvi 'Bursting with life-changing content' Hugh van
Cuylenburg 'This is the book we wish we'd been given when we hit
our twenties. It's not about perfection; it's a realistic guide to
finding love for yourself in your day-to-day, inspired by the
incredible experts we've met and the lessons they've taught us.'

our flaws? What's the secret to forging connections at work and at
home while maintaining healthy boundaries? And how do we avoid
falling prey to the anxieties and shame triggers that prevent us
from experiencing joy? Add to that worrying about money and the
bigger picture of our lives and it really can feel like too much.
Laura Henshaw and Steph Claire Smith are best friends and creators
of the massive health and lifestyle brand Keep It Cleaner. You Take
Care is their way of sharing their journeys with you - everything
they've learnt about taking care of their mental health, bodies,
and relationships with those around them, including thoughts on
motherhood and a search for progress over perfection. No two
journeys are the same, and there will always be bumps along the
way. But this uplifting and friendly guide is like having a best
friend in your pocket, cheering you on through it all.
