Book Description
The story of The Inverted Crow will inspire anyone who lacks self-confidence, feels unwanted, insufficient or in any way inadequate. Conversely, The Inverted Crow is important to self-assured individuals who wish to proactively become involved in their spiritual evolution. The story of the Crow is fiction; however, the advice that is given by ever-present seers throughout the journey is real and applicable. Screenplay writer Joseph Gunnels states, "It dips back into self-awakening again and again and again until the Crow is fully reborn. it is so deep and rich and thought-provoking and intelligent and edgy and requiring of consciousness..." Dr. Cecil Gray of Morgan State University describes the substance of The Inverted Crow as "large." The book is relative to philosophy and spirituality, African-American culture, social science and political science. Yet, The Inverted Crow is an allegorical piece of literature detailed in terms that can equally be described as poetic, lyrical and raw. On one side, individuals claim The Inverted Crow primarily for literary value - an engaging, enjoyable and delicious read. Others claim that the literature is secondary to the book's philosophical and spiritual content. Dr. Dolly Jenkins Mullen, political scientist at the University of North Carolina at Asheville, states, "This fiction work is a must-read for anyone sold on the concept of personal growth as the beginning of community development." The Inverted Crow was written to help individuals find peace within and live in peace; express God's holy love and receive it in joy; discover their reason for being; employ it to uplift the quality of life on earth; and empower all whom they meet to also experience the abundance of life.

Book Description
The material for the volume was gathered in 1913, nearly fifty years after the war ended. Some of the narrators were small children in the Civil War days, but whatever their age had been the incidents of that chaotic time were indelibly impressed on their memories. They told of what they had seen with convincing vividness, and fortunately, also, with much of humor and picturesqueness.

Lakota Woman
Author: Mary Crow Dog
Publisher: Open Road + Grove/Atlantic
ISBN: 080219155X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
The bestselling memoir of a Native American woman’s struggles and the life she found in activism: “courageous, impassioned, poetic and inspirational” (Publishers Weekly). Mary Brave Bird grew up on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota in a one-room cabin without running water or electricity. With her white father gone, she was left to endure “half-breed” status amid the violence, machismo, and aimless drinking of life on the reservation. Rebelling against all this—as well as a punishing Catholic missionary school—she became a teenage runaway. Mary was eighteen and pregnant when the rebellion at Wounded Knee happened in 1973. Inspired to take action, she joined the American Indian Movement to fight for the rights of her people. Later, she married Leonard Crow Dog, the AIM’s chief medicine man, who revived the sacred but outlawed Ghost Dance. Originally published in 1990, Lakota Woman was a national bestseller and winner of the American Book Award. It is a story of determination against all odds, of the cruelties perpetuated against American Indians, and of the Native American struggle for rights. Working with Richard Erdoes, one of the twentieth century’s leading writers on Native American affairs, Brave Bird recounts her difficult upbringing and the path of her fascinating life.

The Battle-Ground

Publisher: Jazzybee Verlag
ISBN: 3849644065
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 413
Book Description
In the course of Miss Glasgow's novels one may discover the social history of Virginia for more than fifty years. The Battle-Ground goes back to the days before the war with its picture of the great plantations and the life of the slave owners. It also pictures Richmond as the capital of the Confederacy with Jefferson Davis in the tall-pillared White House and all the great figures of the Confederacy coming and going in the city, while the Richmond belles wondered just how much longer they could make their old dresses do. The Battle-Ground is so remarkable an analysis of civil war conditions that a British general recommended it to his men for reading for this very reason.

The Jim Crow Routine
Author: Stephen A. Berrey
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469620944
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
The South’s system of Jim Crow racial oppression is usually understood in terms of legal segregation that mandated the separation of white and black Americans. Yet, as Stephen A. Berrey shows, it was also a high-stakes drama that played out in the routines of everyday life, where blacks and whites regularly interacted on sidewalks and buses and in businesses and homes. Every day, individuals made, unmade, and remade Jim Crow in how they played their racial roles — how they moved, talked, even gestured. The highly visible but often subtle nature of these interactions constituted the Jim Crow routine. In this study of Mississippi race relations in the final decades of the Jim Crow era, Berrey argues that daily interactions between blacks and whites are central to understanding segregation and the racial system that followed it. Berrey shows how civil rights activism, African Americans' refusal to follow the Jim Crow script, and national perceptions of southern race relations led Mississippi segregationists to change tactics. No longer able to rely on the earlier routines, whites turned instead to less visible but equally insidious practices of violence, surveillance, and policing, rooted in a racially coded language of law and order. Reflecting broader national transformations, these practices laid the groundwork for a new era marked by black criminalization, mass incarceration, and a growing police presence in everyday life.

The White Indian Boy
Author: Elijah Nicholas Wilson
Publisher: University of Utah Press
ISBN: 0874808340
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
First published in 1910, The White Indian Boy quickly became a western classic. Readers fascinated by real-life 'cowboys and Indians' thrilled to Nick Wilson's frontier exploits, as he recounted running away to live with the Shoshone in his early teens, riding for the Pony Express, and helping settle Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The volume was so popular that Wilson's son Charles was compelled to write a second book, The Return of the White Indian, which picks up in 1895 where the first memoir ends, telling the adventures of Nick Wilson's later life. These books, published here as a single volume, are testaments to a unique time and place in American history. Because he had a heart for adventure and unusual proficiency with Native American languages, Wilson's life became an historical canvas on which was painted both the exploration and the closing of a frontier, as he went from childhood among the Shoshone to work as an interpreter for the U.S. government on Indian reservations in Wyoming and Idaho in his later years. This volume includes new introductory material, a family tree, and a background of Indian-white relations in Jackson Hole. Packed with amazing details about life in the Old West, Wilson's colorful escapades are once again available to a new generation of readers.
