    Atlantic Books Dalvi: Six Years in the Arctic Tundra

    2 in stock

    Book SynopsisAn ancestry test suggesting she shared some DNA with the Sámi people, the indigenous inhabitants of the Arctic tundra, tapped into Laura Galloway's wanderlust; an affair with a Sámi reindeer herder ultimately led her to leave New York for the tiny town of Kautokeino, Norway. When her new boyfriend left her unexpectedly after six months, it would have been easy, and perhaps prudent, to return home. But she stayed for six years.Dálvi is the story of Laura's time in a reindeer-herding village in the Arctic, forging a solitary existence as she struggled to learn the language and make her way in a remote community for which there were no guidebooks or manuals for how to fit in. Her time in the North opened her to a new world. And it brought something else as well: reconciliation and peace with the traumatic events that had previously defined her - the sudden death of her mother when she was three, a difficult childhood and her lifelong search for connection and a sense of home. Both a heart-rending memoir and a love letter to the singular landscape of the region, Dálvi explores with great warmth and humility what it means to truly belong.Trade ReviewMeeting Laura Galloway in the pages of her memoir has been like dropping into the incredible life of someone who inspires you to the moon and back. How far would you go to save your own life? For Laura the answer is to the ends of the earth. This astonishing, tender, jaw-dropping story is a page turner. Take this unforgettable journey with Laura and return with gems for your own life. -- Sheri Salata, author of THE BEAUTIFUL NO: AND OTHER TALES OF TRIAL, TRANSCENDENCE AND TRANSFORMATIONLaura Galloway's account of her escape to a new life in the Arctic tundra is an enchanting tale of courage, hope and breath-taking grit. I loved it. -- Christina Patterson, author of THE ART OF NOT FALLING APARTAn affecting memoir and a paean to the singular climate and landscape of the Arctic, Dálvi (winter in northern Sámi) is a profound exploration of connections lost and found. * Traveller *[A] compulsive account -- Hephzibah Anderson * Observer *[A] fascinating memoir. * The New European *Remarkable...intriguing...readers can't help but be impressed by her drive * Los Angeles Review of Books *[T]his remarkable memoir is as stirring as it is gripping... a joyous, life-affirming read. * LoveReading *Table of Contents1: Unravelled 2: Ailu 3: Guovdageaidnu 4: Detritus 5: Among the Reindeer 6: Away 7: Bargu (work) 8: Westward 9: Alone 10: Broken 11: Angels Appear 12: Beivvas (sun) 13: Boo 14: The Others 15: Grace 16: I Am Not A Sami 17: London 18: Cahppe 19: Ellos (life) 20: America 21: Nilla 22: Wild 23: Return

  • Land of Water City of the Dead

    The University of Alabama Press Land of Water City of the Dead

    Book SynopsisCahokia, the largest city of the Mississippian mound cultures, lies outside present-day East St. Louis. Land of Water, City of the Dead reconceptualizes Cahokia's emergence and expansion (ca. 1050-1200), focusing on understanding a newly imagined religion and complexity through a non-Western lens.Trade Review“Land of Water, City of the Dead: Religion and Cahokia’s Emergence provides a refreshing new take on the origins and organization of Cahokia that is a must read for any Mississippian archaeologist. More generally, it will be of interest to archaeological scholars of religion and social complexity who work elsewhere in the World. On a final note I commend Baires for taking on the important task of analyzing long neglected legacy collections and I look forward to seeing where her research goes from here.”— Midcontinental Journal of Archaeology “Baires make a good case for her theory of Cahokia. She looks at the great city and its religion in a different way that will aid future studies while promoting new perspectives.”— American Archaeology “Baires’s book is a good addition to the available information on Cahokia. She pulls together data from a variety of sources, but most importantly, she provides details on legacy data that are not readily available elsewhere. In addition, Baires develops an argument for looking at Cahokia and religion in a different way, and whether or not you agree with her particular approach, new perspectives always move discussion and knowledge forward.”— Lynne Goldstein, professor of anthropology at Michigan State University “The detailed discussion of Cahokia’s ridge-top mounds, the presentation of largely unpublished descriptions of burial features and cultural materials associated with these mounds, and new observations of skeletal materials from Wilson Mound make this a valuable resource for other researchers.”— Kristin Hedman, coeditor of Transforming the Dead: Culturally Modified Bone in the Prehistoric Midwest

There is so much richness here in terms of the discussion of ideology, costly signaling, schizmogenesis, and so on, and the weaving together of these topics is done masterfully. It will be a must-read because it answers a call from researchers to focus more on the role of ideology and social practices in culture change and understanding the archaeological record."—Philip Carr, coeditor of Investigating the Ordinary: Everyday Matters in Southeast Archaeology

    Book SynopsisAlthough cross-cultural encounter is often considered an economic or political matter, beauty, taste, and artistry were central to cultural exchange and political negotiation in early and nineteenth-century America. Part of a new wave of scholarship in early American studies that contextualizes American writing in Indigenous space, Literary Indians highlights the significance of Indigenous aesthetic practices to American literary production. Countering the prevailing notion of the literary Indian as a construct of the white American literary imagination, Angela Calcaterra reveals how Native people''s pre-existing and evolving aesthetic practices influenced Anglo-American writing in precise ways. Indigenous aesthetics helped to establish borders and foster alliances that pushed against Anglo-American settlement practices and contributed to the discursive, divided, unfinished aspects of American letters. Focusing on tribal histories and Indigenous artistry, Calcaterra lo

Authors also analyze education policy and Tribal education departments to highlight early childhood education, gifted and talented educational practice, parental involvement, language revitalization, counseling, and research.

  • Canadas Other Red Scare

    McGill-Queen's University Press Canadas Other Red Scare

    Book SynopsisCanada's Other Red Scare makes the case that Indigenous political protest during the ’60s should be thought of as both local and transnational, an urgent exercise in confronting the experience of settler-colonialism in places and moments of protest, when its logic and acts of dispossession are held up like a mirror.Trade Review“Canada’s Other Red Scare contains challenging arguments built on exemplary research. It also reveals one pivotal yet understated contribution in its connection to the personal. Rutherford begins and ends this book by situating himself in his research. His introduction makes clear his motivations for wanting to understand Indigenous political mobilizations around Kenora – his hometown – which helps him to personally and professionally come to terms with his role in settlercolonialism and racialized histories that deliberately erased Indigenous peoples as active historical subjects. In many ways, this work enabled Rutherford to unlearn the history of Kenora that dominated his childhood and punctuated his formative memories, while also providing sophisticated interventions into Canadian historiography.” Histoire sociale/Social History

Royally Wronged helps unravel the lingering legacies of colonialism in the ‘knowledge' we have produced." Sarah Carter, University of Alberta and author of Lost Harvests: Prairie Indian Reserve Farmers and Government Policy“Representing courage, resilience, and resurgence, [the cover image] captures the recurring themes and ultimate promise of Royally Wronged, a wonderful collection of essays about the Royal Society of Canada (RSC), its historical treatment of Indigenous peoples and Indigenous knowledge, and where it might go from here. Animating Royally Wronged is an earnest and genuine effort to think through Canada as a colonial project and to assess the place of knowledge, knowledge networks, and knowledge dissemination in that project.” University of Toronto Quarterly

Warm-hearted and compassionate, these stories bring to life the Raramuri.” --Michael Shapiro, author of A Sense of Place: Great Travel Writers Talk about Their Craft, Lives, and Inspiration“Once every generation a book comes along that captures the stunning terrain and hidden life of Mexico’s remote western Sierra Madre. In the Sierra Madre is that book for this generation. Jeff Biggers has seen the strange and remarkable that the rest of us can only imagine.”--Tom Miller, author of The Panama Hat Trail and On the Border"Jeff Biggers has the keenest eye in the business, and he has a fine, luminous voice to tell you what he has seen. This is a welcome addition to western and Mexican letters. Biggers manages to write like a poet, a historian, a naturalist, and an adventurer. His pages are burnished and alive, and I admire his work. You need to read this one soon."--Luis Urrea, author of The Hummingbird's Daughter and The Devil's Highway
