Deferred Dreams, Defiant Struggles interrogates Blackness and
illustrates how it has been used as a basis to oppress, dismiss and
exclude Blacks from societies and institutions in Europe, North
America and South America. Employing uncharted analytical
categories that tackle intriguing themes about borderless
non-racial African ancestry, "traveling" identities and
post-blackness, the essays provide new lenses for viewing the
"Black" struggle worldwide. This approach directs the contributors'
focus to understudied locations and protagonists. In the volume,
Charleston, South Carolina is more prominent than Little Rock
Arkansas in the struggle to desegregate schools; Chicago occupies
the space usually reserved for Atlanta or other southern city
"bulwarks" of the civil rights movement; diverse Africans in France
and Afro-descended Chileans illustrate the many facets of
negotiating belonging, long articulated by examples from the
Greensboro Woolworth counter sit-in or the Montgomery Bus Boycott;
unknown men in the British empire, who inverted dying confessions
meant to vilify their blackness, demonstrate new dimensions in the
story about race and religion, often told by examples of fiery
clergy of the Black Church; and the theatres and studios of
dramatists and visual artists replace the Mall in Washington DC as
the stage for the performance of identities and activism.
First published in 1985. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor and

'I cannot help but see the bodies of my near ancestors in the
current caravans of desperate souls fleeing from place to place,
chased by famine, war and toxins. Ideas honed in slavery - of the
otherness, the boorishness, the inferiority of thy neighbour - have
continued to travel through American society.' The story of slavery
in America is not over. It lives on in how we speak to one another,
in how we treat one another, in how our societies are organised. In
Giving a Damn, the legal scholar Patricia Williams finds that when
you begin to unpick current debates around immigration, freedom of
speech, the culture wars and wall-building, beneath them lies the
unexamined history of enslavement in the West. Our ability to
dehumanize one another can be traced all the way from the
plantation to the US President's Twitter account. Williams begins
in the American South with Gone With the Wind (still the second
most popular book in the USA after the Bible), that nostalgic tale
full of the myths of the Southern belle, Southern culture, 'good
food and good manners'. The scene is seductive, from a distance.
How nice it is to paper over the obliging slavery at the novel's
core, and enjoy the wisteria-covered plantations, now the venue for
weddings. But Williams's maternal great-grandmother was a slave,
her great-grandfather a slave-owner, and papering over has left us
in a world that has never been more segregated, incarcerated or
separated from each other. Williams wants to know which ideas
brought the richest and most diverse nation on the planet to the
brink of resurgent, violent division and what this means for the
rest of the world. And she finds that most of those ideas began in
slavery.

Pan-European research on medieval clothing and textiles, drawing
from a range of disciplines. This volume continues the series'
tradition of bringing together work on clothing and textiles from
across Europe. It has a strong focus on gold: subjects include
sixth-century German burials containing sumptuous jewellery and
bands brocaded with gold; the textual evidence for recycling such
gold borders and bands in the later Anglo-Saxon period; and a
semantic classification of words relating to gold in multi-lingual
medieval Britain. It also rescues significant archaeological
textiles from obscurity: there is a discussion of early medieval
headdresses from The Netherlands, and an examination of a
fifteenth-century Italian cushion, an early example of piecework.
Finally, uses of dress and textiles in literature are explored in a
survey of the Welsh Mabinogion and Jean Renart's Roman de la Rose.
Robin Netherton is a professional editor and a researcher/lecturer
on the interpretationof medieval European dress; Gale R.
Owen-Crocker is Professor of Anglo-Saxon Culture at the University
of Manchester. Contributors: Brigitte Haas-Gebhard, Britt
Nowak-Boeck, Maren Clegg Hyer, Louise Sylvester,
ChrystelBrandenburgh, Lisa Evans, Patricia Williams, Katherine

Two piece light cardboard box. In any given moment that you are
Love, in whatever form that takes, you are Home. The more of those
moments you have: being Love, extending love, receiving Love, the
more they will start to string together and become your reality and
when this reality becomes your constant state, then you will really
understand that you are Home. May every silver wing bring us closer
to our destination. My loving thanks to the Source of inspiration
of these cards, both in the words, with their wisdom and in the
images taken from the wonderful paintings of Adriano Vignando.

A wide-ranging and varied collection of essays which examine
surviving garments, methods of production and clothes in society.
The second decade of this acclaimed and popular series begins with
a volume that will be essential reading for historians and
re-enactors alike. Two papers consider cloth manufacture in the
early medieval period: Ingvild Øye examines the graves of
prosperous Viking Age women from Western Norway which contained
both textile-making tools and the remains of cloth, considering the
relationship between the two. Karen Nicholson compliments this with
practical experiments in spinning. This is followed by Tina
Anderlini's close examination of the details of cut and
construction of a thirteenth-century chemise attributed to King
Louis IX of France (St Louis), out of its shrine for the firsttime
since 1970. Three papers consider fashionable clothing and
morality: Sarah-Grace Heller discusses sumptuary legislation from
Angevin Sicily in the 1290s which sought to restrict men's dress at
a time when preparation for war was more important than showy
clothes; Cordelia Warr examines the dire consequences of a woman
dressing extravagantly as portrayed in a fourteenth-century Italian
fresco; and Emily Rozier discusses the extremes of dress attributed
by moral and satirical writers to the men known as "galaunts". Two
textual studies then show the importance of textiles in daily life.
Susan Powell reveals the austere but magnificent purchases made on
behalf of Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of King Henry VII, in the
last ten years of her life (1498-1509); Anna Riehl Bertolet
discusses in detail the passage in Shakespeare's A Midsummer
Night's Dream where Helena passionately recalls sewinga sampler
with Hermia when they were young and still bosom friends.
An anthology of essays devoted to the examination of filmmaker
Julie Dash's ground-breaking film, Daughters of the Dust, this book
celebrates the importance and influence of this film and positions
it within the discourses of Black Feminism, Womanism, the LA
Rebellion, New Black Cinema, Great Migration, The Black Arts
tradition, Oral History, African American/Black/African diasporan
Studies, and Black film/cinema studies. Employing a
transdisciplinary approach to examining the film, the anthology
includes chapters which examine unique aspects/themes of the film.
At the core of each chapter, however, is a recognition of the
influence of Black feminist/Womanist theory and politics and
African American history-from enslavement to
freedom/Reconstruction, Black political identity and liberation
movement(s)-and African/ African diasporan cosmology on Dash's work
and how all work in concert in her masterful narrative of Black
family, 20th Black women's identities, and the tension between
modernity/tradition experienced by Gullah-Geechee people at the
turn of the 20th century.

When Al Williams moved his family to the Jicarilla Apache Indian
Reservation in Dulce, New Mexico, he did not know what to expect.
Cool rushing mountain streams, majestic mountains, and enriching
friendships were his reward. He became friends with Chief Baltazar
as well as Ish Koten, the sheriff, and the Williams' family had
many happy, exciting and frightening experiences there. Northern
New Mexico has become a mecca for the movie industry since then,
but everyone who travels there learns the lessons so innocently
taught by the Jicarillas -- peace, determination, and loyalty.
