Killing the Indian Maiden
Author: M. Marubbio
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 081312414X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
Killing the Indian Maiden examines the fascinating and often disturbing portrayal of Native American women in film. M. Elise Marubbio examines the sacrificial role in which a young Native woman allies herself with a white male hero and dies as a result of that choice. In studying thirty-four Hollywood films from the silent period to the present, she draws upon theories of colonization, gender, race, and film studies to ground her analysis in broader historical and sociopolitical context and to help answer the question, “What does it mean to be an American?” The book reveals a cultural iconography embedded in the American psyche. As such, the Native American woman is a racialized and sexualized other. A conquerable body, she represents both the seductions and the dangers of the American frontier and the Manifest Destiny of the American nation to master it.

Medieval intrigue and an endearing family capture the heart of Paige Nelson, a teacher and clown, who, after a tumble in her hometown gym, finds herself in a strange world. Going by her clown name, "Poppy", she finds herself a highly honored guest because the people of Halderwold believe her to be a visitor from Laria, a land on the other side of a "flatland swamp" that has been considered impassable for many years. After learning of the punishments for "jocularity" and creating "likenesses", she yearns to find a way to return the people to their former times of lampooning newspapers, beautiful pictures, and open gaiety, all of which have been banned for generations. Possessing none of the intuitive talents of the Larians, but afraid to admit she is from another world, Poppy enters training as a "wise one". Forced to chose between marrying Lorimar(whom she respects but does not love) to be safe from Pule, the king's evil cousin (whom she loathes), kidnapped and nearly murdered, she at last finds others willing to risk all to join in a scheme to change the oppressive laws of the realm.

Book Description
David didn’t defeat Goliath with a tennis racket. In The Wrong Jew, author Hesh Kestin doesn’t bother with the why of anti-Semitism but instead offers a battle plan for how to defeat those who would destroy the Jews. At a time when Jews are under attack from right and left, posting guards around synagogues is hardly the answer. Just as Israel takes the fight to its enemies, Kestin explains how American Jews must go on the offensive by teaching our kids to speak up and our adults to use our financial, legal, and political resources to make life miserable for Nazis of every stripe. According to Hesh Kestin, “When they pick on American Jews, let them learn they picked on the wrong Jews.”
