| | Produktbeschreibung (22104641): Long, before American Indian women磗 literature achieved its current popularity, the writings of E. Pauline Johnson (1861-1913) pioneered the field. A mixed-blood of Mohawk-English descent, Johnson gained renown for her literary recitals and theatrical performances in Canada, England, and the United States, being billed at turn of the century as the 创Mohawk Princess创. Many of Johnson磗 stories in The Moccasin Maker depict nineteenth-century India women cause between the forces of cultural continuity and the pressures of assimilation. Critics in Johnson磗 own day praised her treatment of Indian themes and her descriptions of nature, but they ignored her vivid portrayals of women. In this edition of Johnson磗 stories, A. LaVonne Brown Ruoff corrects this oversight and provides an extensive introduction and annotations to place Johnson and her work solidly within the genres of American Indian and women磗 fiction. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder f黵 EUR 17.95 bestellen! |

|  Produktbeschreibung (22252690): The Last Generation of Chainsmokers is a dark and dazzling novel about doomed love in New York磗 Lower East Side in the 1990s. When Crane King and Kimberly Anderson first meet in The Village Idiot, it is the middle of the day and both are drunk. The story of their besotted passion in a downward-spiraling world is at once tender -- the exquisite pain of mad love -- and menacing in its descent toward impending catastrophe. Stephen Creagh Uys draws on shifting, often fragmentary points of view to tell the aching love story of a couple perfectly suited to each other, but not the world. They are Scott and Zelda caught in the crosshairs of Big Daddy-O Apple, a haywire existence with devastating consequences for all around them. Uys takes no prisoners in this taut, harrowing book that moves seamlessly from Madison Avenue to the holding pens of The Tombs. Lives lived minimally loom large on every page, with brilliant, often savage wordplay, from a streetwise and savvy observer of the city that never sleeps. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder f黵 EUR 21.95 bestellen! |

The leader of a platoon of soldiers that took vengeance on a small village and its inhabitants attempts to come to terms with his descent into evil in this rendering of Dante磗 journey from darkness to light. Set in the 70s, many of the scenes in the three parts of the medieval allegory are represented throughout this adoption by using the novel磗 characters in a variety of guises.

| | Produktbeschreibung (14453597): However urban slave societies might have differed from their rural counterparts, they still relied on a concerted assault on the psychological, social, and cultural identity of their African-descended inhabitants to maintain power and control. This ambitious book looks at how people of African descent in two such societies--Havana and New Orleans in the nineteenth century--created and maintained their own forms of cultural resistance to the slave regime磗 assault and, in the process, put forth autonomous views of sell and the social landscape. In Havana磗 annual Dia de Reyes festival and in the weekly activities that took place at New Orleans磗 Congo Square, author Daniel Walker identities specific cultural beliefs and activities that Africans brought to the New World and modified in order to withstand and contest the dehumanizing effects of oppression. 创No More, No More crosses disciplinary boundaries as well, elucidating the economic, social, cultural, and demographic operations at work in two cities and the wide-scale efforts at cultural resistance embodied in public performances. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder f黵 EUR 18.95 bestellen! |

Memories and observations related by Stella磗 adolescent daughter, her curmudgeonly octogenarian friend, three old ladies who witness her final moments, and finally Stella herself combine in cryptic and beguiling ways to unravel the mystery: Playing a lover磗 game on that rooftop, did she fall out of her husband磗 arms, or was she pushed? | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder f黵 EUR 10.95 bestellen! |
