A gateway to the West and an outpost for eastern capital and
culture, St. Louis straddled not only geographical and political
divides but also cultural, racial, and sectional ones. At the same
time, it connected a vast region as a gathering place of peoples,
cultures, and goods. The essays in this collection contextualize
St. Louis, exploring French-Native relations, the agency of empire
in the Illinois Country, the role of women in "mapping" the French
colonial world, fashion and identity, and commodities and exchange
in St. Louis as part of a broader politics of consumption in
colonial America. The collection also provides a comparative
perspective on America's two great Creole cities, St. Louis and New
Orleans. Lastly, it looks at the Frenchness of St. Louis in the
nineteenth century and the present. French St. Louis recasts the
history of St. Louis and reimagines regional development in the
early American republic, shedding light on its francophone history.
In People of the Ecotone, Robert Morrissey weaves together a
history of Native peoples with a history of an ecotone to tell a
new story about the roots of the Fox Wars, among the most
transformative and misunderstood events of early American history.
To do this, he also offers the first comprehensive environmental
history of some of North America’s most radically transformed
landscapes—the former tallgrass prairies—in the period before
they became the monocultural “corn belt” we know today.
Morrissey situates the complex rise and fall of the Illinois,
Meskwaki, and Myaamia peoples from roughly the collapse of Cahokia
(thirteenth to fourteenth century CE) to the mid-eighteenth century
in the context of millennia-long environmental shifts, as changes
to the climate shifted bison geographies and tribes adapted their
cultures to become pedestrian bison hunters. Tracing dynamic chains
of causation from microscopic viruses to massive forces of climate,
from the deep time of evolution to the specific events of human
lifetimes, from local Illinois village economies to market forces
an ocean away, People of the Ecotone offers new insight on
Indigenous power and Indigenous logics.
There are an estimated 42 million people worldwide living with HIV
and AIDS. In the Caribbean, the statistics are alarming. After
sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean has a higher HIV prevalence than
any other area of the world. The need to control the spread of HIV
is critical. Though medical advances have been successful in
slowing the progress of the disease, there remains no cure for HIV
and AIDS. In Challenging HIV and AIDS, the contributors, players at
various levels in the education sector across the Caribbean, weigh
in on the value of education as a means to halt the spread of HIV
and AIDS. The contributions are unique to the Caribbean experience
and culture and address the root causes of the spread of the
epidemic. Reducing ignorance and the accompanying stigma and
discrimination as well as addressing issues of sexuality through
Health and Family Life Education in schools are identified as
effective programmes in addressing the epidemic.
From the beginnings of colonial settlement in Illinois Country, the
region was characterized by self-determination and collaboration
that did not always align with imperial plans. The French in Quebec
established a somewhat reluctant alliance with the Illinois Indians
while Jesuits and fur traders planted defiant outposts in the
Illinois River Valley beyond the Great Lakes. These autonomous
early settlements were brought into the French empire only after
the fact. As the colony grew, the authority that governed the
region was often uncertain. Canada and Louisiana alternately
claimed control over the Illinois throughout the eighteenth
century. Later, British and Spanish authorities tried to divide the
region along the Mississippi River. Yet Illinois settlers and
Native people continued to welcome and partner with European
governments, even if that meant playing the competing empires
against one another in order to pursue local interests. Empire by
Collaboration explores the remarkable community and distinctive
creole culture of colonial Illinois Country, characterized by
compromise and flexibility rather than domination and resistance.
Drawing on extensive archival research, Robert Michael Morrissey
demonstrates how Natives, officials, traders, farmers, religious
leaders, and slaves constantly negotiated local and imperial
priorities and worked purposefully together to achieve their goals.
Their pragmatic intercultural collaboration gave rise to new
economies, new forms of social life, and new forms of political
engagement. Empire by Collaboration shows that this rugged outpost
on the fringe of empire bears central importance to the evolution
of early America.

This book covers over 30 years of work starting in 1975. About 30
poems were written between 1975 thru 1978. No writing again until
2004 when I joined the poets' workshop online poetry site. Since
then I have written around 80 poems in the last 6 months. There are
many different styles of poetry ranging from free verse, complete
rhyme, haiku's, senryu's, lyrics for songs, and a few
unconventional styles with my own modified style of rhyme, meter,
pentameter. The poems range from ones about my two marriages,
divorce, my kids, losing everything, starting over, etc. etc. being
a weekend father and all the loneliness and pain one has to deal
with in a divorce. My views of life and lessons I have learned.
Many different subjects I have written about. Main theme of new
work is from my 'hopeless romantic' side. Basically the story of my
life in poetry.
