Taylor & Francis Displaced Things in Museums and Beyond Loss Liminality and Hopeful Encounters
Book SynopsisDisplaced Things in Museums and Beyond looks anew at the lives, effects and possibilities of things. Starting from the perspectives of things themselves, it outlines a particular, displacement approach to the museum, anthropology and material culture.The book explores the ways in which the objects are experienced in their present, displaced settings, and the implications and potentialities they carry. It offers insights into matters of difference and the hope that may be offered by transformative encounters between persons and things. Drawing on anthropological studies of ritual to conceptualise and examine displacement and its implications and possibilities, Dudley develops her arguments through exploration of displaced objects now in museums and dislocated or exiled from their prior geographical, historical, cultural, intellectual and personal contexts. The bookâs approach and conclusions are relevant far beyond the museum, showing that even in the most difficult of circumstances there is agency, distinction and dignity in the choices and impacts that are made, and that things and places as well as people have efficacy and potency in those choices. In Displaced Things, displacement emerges as fundamental to understanding the lives of things and their relationships with human beings, and the places, however defined, that they make and pass within. The book will be essential reading for academics and students engaged in the study of museums, heritage, anthropology, culture and history.Table of ContentsPrologue; Part I Departures; Chapter 1 Displaced things; Chapter 2 Separating things; Part II Liminal things; Chapter 3 Representational things; Chapter 4 Subjunctive things; Chapter 5 Hopeful things;

Taylor & Francis Ltd Rethinking the Red Power Movement
Book SynopsisRethinking the Red Power Movement examines Red Power ideology with a focus on its many forms of solidarity with African Americans, the role of gender in shaping the movement, its international expansion, and its current meaning in contemporary activism.The Red Power Movement is often considered the apex of Indigenous activism in the twentieth century. While diverse, the movement is typically told through four actions. Beginning with the occupation of Alcatraz in 1969, followed by the Trail of Broken Treaties in 1972, Wounded Knee in 1973, then culminating with the Longest Walk in 1978, there is a clear jumpstart, middle, and end to the Red Power Movement. Through a chronological approach, this study makes the case that Red Power never diedâand neither did Indigenous activism. Instead, it shows how Indigenous peoples found many ways to push forward Indigenous sovereignty and continue to call on the United States to value Indigenous possibilities for justice, freedom, and power.This book is useful for students and scholars interested in twentieth century America, social movements, and the history of Indigenous activism.

Taylor & Francis Ltd History on FilmFilm on History
Book SynopsisHistory on Film/Film on History has established itself as a classic treatise on the historical film and its role in bringing the past to life. In the fourth edition of this widely acclaimed text, Robert A. Rosenstone argues that to leave history films out of the discussion of the meaning of the past is to ignore a major means of understanding historical events.This book examines what history films convey about the past and how they convey it, demonstrating the need to learn how to read and understand this new visual world and integrating detailed analysis of films such as Schindler's List, Glory, October, and Reds. Advocating for the dramatic feature as a legitimate way of doing history, this edition includes a new Preface and a new chapter that focuses on films produced in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, India, and East Asia.Examining the codes and conventions of how these films tell us about the past and providing Table of ContentsContentsIllustrations Preface to the series Introduction to the fourth editionIntroduction to the third edition Introduction to the second edition AcknowledgmentsChapter 1 History on film Chapter 2 To see the past Chapter 3 Mainstream drama Chapter 4 Innovative drama Chapter 5 Documentary Chapter 6 Telling lives Chapter 7 Film-maker/historian Chapter 8 Engaging the discourse Chapter 9 The view from 2017Chapter 10 Beyond the WestChapter 11 Film on history Guide to key reading Bibliography Index

Taylor & Francis Ltd Ujamaa and Ubuntu
Book SynopsisFor over a decade, the world has experienced an accelerating erosion of a language that took hundreds of years to emerge. It is a language ordering time and space with words, such as enlightenment, reason, rationality, modernization, and the most recent by-word, globalization. However, it is a language that has been accompanied by colonialism, imperialism, racism, the exploitation of people and nature, an unequal distribution of the world's resources, pogroms, genocides, and world wars. There has been a gap between assumptions underlying a visionary ambition and the often-brutal practices that have accompanied it. Moreover, it is a language that expresses European values, with the implicit or explicit suggestion that they pertain to the whole world, a civilizing mission from a European centre. Although the established narrative argued that there was continuous progress, it was a conclusion reached through hindsight. The idea of progress had to be repeatedly recreated through new visTable of Contents1. Introduction 2. Ujamaa: evasive and elusive African socialism 3.
