＜p＞It should have been a great time of the year for Johnnie. High school was nearing a close for him and he was looking forward to a peaceful vacation with his mother during the Christmas break. Yes.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Reality Checkmate【電子書籍】[ Daniel Ruiz ]

＜p＞A dynamic and philosophical debut collection, Daniel Ruiz’s ＜em＞Reality Checkmate＜/em＞ choreographs the endless wrestling match between lyrical sensibility and ontological principles taking place on the mind’s stage. These poems exquisitely demonstrate that phenomena in the material world are rarely as simple as they seem and yet must continually confront the universe’s countermoveーthe constraints of life itself, the knowledge that all we truly have is the present moment and the face value of our perceptions. He succinctly summarizes the history of art as cultural capitalー“all of us are / eternally punished with proving / literature is about literature after all”ーwhile revealing the redundancies and blind spots of intellectualismー“Meanwhile, a lost sheep / finds grass to eat anywhere it wants, / and does not mind, / like Lorca, letting its hair grow long.” While ＜em＞Reality Checkmate＜/em＞ delights in the cerebral mode, its celebration of relativity as well as the lush materiality of language yields equal imagery and musicality, upholding sensory experience and human relationships as existentially significant in the absence of absolute truths. In Ruiz’s astonishing first book, dawn is not morningーor rather, not merely morning. “Madrugada” rejects a navel-gazing discourse on sentimentality and the passage of days, commanding that “you for whom meaning / is the meaning of beauty, be gone.” We could spend our whole lives ideating a metaphysics of time and waste the wonder of sunlight right in front of us. “Meanwhile, / the clouds are proud of all of us. It’s 12:01. / A man dragged by a poodle says / Good morning. Everyone in the orchestra / stands up at once.”＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】THY NAME IS VODUN CONVERSATIONS WITH MAMIWATA PRIESTESS【電子書籍】[ MamiWata Priestess ]

＜p＞Mami Wata Priestess, through her conversations in a series of collected essays, describes traditional African Vodun and its mystery and beauty. Coming from the perspective of one initiated into the pantheon of the African Mami Wata she gives a unique glimpse into the often misunderstood world of African Vodun. In the pursuit of a doctorate, in African Psychology in the late 1990s, she traveled to Africa to do research but inadvertently found herself...her ancestors, the spirits that gave her life and her destiny. From 1998-2006 she immersed herself in traditional African culture and lay in initiation chambers from Benin to Togo to Ghana returning as the first authentically initiated priestess of the African Mami Wata. And, as a result has been serving the spirits every since.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Her story is the story of every individual born in the diaspora destined to retrace the footsteps of their ancestors and reconnect to a tradition refused them due to the transatlantic slave trade. Her distinctive instructive style delivers highly specialized details and points the audience towards the most direct access to the divine indicating the hallmark of a true initiate of Mami Wata. Within these pages one will be introduced to the majesty of African Vodun and its destined role in bridging the divinities and those destined to the sacred knowledge lost beginning with the Middle Passage. Through this sacred work what lies at the bottom of the sea and throughout the spiritual realm may formally be addressed as it was foretold within the ancient Priesthood of Ifa that such a time would come. Mami Wata Priestess works from Temple Behumbeza, in (Cotonou) Benin, with her husband Hounnon Behumbeza, the Supreme Chief of the pantheon of the African Mami Dan Vodun.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Harbour-Master【電子書籍】[ Robert W. Chambers ]

＜p＞In "The Harbour-Master," Robert W. Chambers masterfully weaves a narrative rich in atmospheric detail, exploring themes of love, isolation, and the inexorable passage of time. Set against the backdrop of a remote coastal village, the story delves into the life of the titular harbour-master, whose introspective journey reflects Chambers' signature style of blending realism with elements of mysticism. The novel is notable for its lyrical prose and vivid imagery, hallmarks of the fin-de-si?cle literary movement, which encapsulated the anxiety and sensibilities of a changing world at the turn of the 20th century. Robert W. Chambers, celebrated for his contributions to both fiction and art, was influenced by the symbolist movement, as well as his own experiences in the aesthetic circles of Paris. His background in art and literature not only informed his creative voice but also shaped his thematic focus on beauty and decay, making "The Harbour-Master" a poignant reflection on human connections and the natural world. Chambers' varied career and deep engagement with the arts undoubtedly enriched the emotional depth of this novel. This hauntingly beautiful tale is recommended to readers who appreciate literary fiction that is both introspective and evocative. "The Harbour-Master" invites exploration into the human psyche and the complexities of relationships in a world tinged with the melancholy of lost opportunities. Ideal for fans of atmospheric narratives, this work solidifies Chambers' place as a significant literary figure of his time.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Sensitivity of Mangrove Ecosystem to Changing Climate【電子書籍】[ Abhijit Mitra ]

＜p＞Mangroves are basically salt tolerant forest ecosystems found mainly in tropical and sub-tropical inter-tidal regions. Till about 1960s, mangroves were largely viewed as “economically unproductive areas” and were therefore destroyed for reclaiming land for various economic and commercial activities. Gradually, with the passage of time, the economic and ecological benefits of mangroves have become visible and their importance is now well appreciated. Today, mangroves are observed in about 30 countries in tropical subtropical regions covering an area of about 99,300 Sq.Km. However, during the past 50 years, over 50% of the mangrove cover has been lost, mainly because of the increased pressure of human activities like shrimp farming and agriculture, forestry, salt extraction, urban development, tourist development and infrastructure. Also, dam on rivers, contamination of sea waters caused by heavy metals, oil spills, pesticides and other products etc. have been found to be responsible for the decline of mangroves. Although the temperature effect on growth and species diversity is not known, sea-level rise may pose a serious threat to these ecosystems The present book addresses all these important issues in separate chapters with some interesting case studies whose data may serve as pathfinder for future researches in the sphere of the influence of climate change on mangrove ecosystem. The role of mangroves in the sector of bioremediation is a unique feather in the crown of this coastal and brackishwater vegetation that may be taken up by the coastal industries in order to maintain the health of ambient environment. This book seeks to discover and to assess the vulnerability of climate change on mangrove flora and fauna, their role in carbon sequestration and some interesting case studies by some groups of dedicated researchers that may serve as the basis of future climate related policies.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞I＜br /＞ T was in the summer of 1845 that Sir John Franklin undertook his fourth voyage into the Arctic regions, in search of a northwest passage, and disappeared forever in that icy waste.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Franklin’s two ships, the Erebus and the Terror, were supposed to be provisioned for three years. When this interval had passed without word of the daring navigator there was grave fear that he had met with disaster. Then began an unparalleled series of search and relief expeditions, public and private, English and American: five separate ones in 1848, three in 1849, ten in 1850, two in 1851, nine in 1852, five in 1853, two in 1854, one in 1855, and one in 1857.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Among the earliest of these was one from the United States, known as the first Grinnell expedition, which left New York in May, 1848. Lady Franklin had appealed to the President of the United States to enlist his countrymen as a “kindred people, to join heart and hand in the enterprise of snatching the lost navigators from a dreary grave.” Accordingly a bill was introduced in Congress to fit out an expedition for this purpose; but the process of legislation was too slow to provide vessels and equipment in the short time that was left for such a venture.＜/p＞ ＜p＞At this juncture a New York merchant, Henry Grinnell, outfitted two of his own vessels for the service and proffered them gratuitously to our government.

＜p＞All of the following, we fail to completely understandーwhat is our purpose and the steps we must take daily? I confess my sins, all that I can remember and all that I cannot and did not considerーplease forgive me and cleanse my spirit so you may hear me so I can accomplish what I was meant to do:＜br /＞ God is angry and now allowing fires, hurricanes, floods, and more is coming until the "Remnant rises beyond paganism so our prayers will be heard. Mankind will continue to suffer without massive acknowledgement of our shortcomings of praying to other gods.＜br /＞ Please awaken all mankind to realize that we all can choose to be holy and we need one anotherーall of us; chosen by you to existーwhen we reject the simple premise that we are only men and women, that's wrong, because we are also spirit. Every man and woman seeking the truth, seeking a closeness to their God, should ask themselves alsoーDoes money make me rich? Is the person with money a better person than me? Where does the person with a lot of money go to make himself or herself a better person? Is this life preparation for the afterlife? What and who has the truth?＜/p＞ ＜p＞The "Remnant" mentioned in our Holy Bibles was thought lost and must now awaken and acknowledge their heritage.＜br /＞ What America needs is a super hero to help us conquer adversity. We, Black and Jewish Americans voted for President Obama. He must keep his campaign promise of change! There are people in the Americas once cursed by the Elohim All the Earth has been denied their prayers for 400 years.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Can White America of all the Americas really accept the truth? Knowledgeable and ignorant Americans feel the curse by the "Almighty of Heaven" and the time is near when that curse is almost over for Black America who can accept their true heritage. Can America of great intellect recognize the work of the Hebrew Elohim, his new curse, and the hate that is redirected towards an America who does not know who they are? Why is White America full of hate for people who can do them absolutely now harm? People still think that Israel was enslaved in Egypt for 400 years but it was only approximately 350.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the Americas the group in our Holy Bibles called the "Remnant" have been in mental and physical slavery for 400 years. The curse is over, and God will still not hear their prayers for the world until we humble ourselves acknowledging a heritage to receive a special blessing.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In Genesis 15:13 our Holy Bibles talks refers to the Remnant who's 400 years was interpreted, clarified and explained in the Book of Daniel. Many people today still believe that passage refers to the time Israel was held captive in Egypt--but it was not related to that.＜br /＞ America must awaken mankind to the spirituality of truth so we all will have a chance to enter the next realm of man's existence. The people in this group have extraordinary gifts of communication--so that all of mankind will hear the truth and make their own spiritual decisionsーand our choice to survive is a choice between good and evil.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞~* Book 5.5 of the Salak'patan Series *~＜/p＞ ＜p＞History is a strange and dangerous thing, especially when one is an outsider forced to navigate a path through it. For Monorth, a man who has been trapped in the past, his journey to return home has been far from an easy passage through that history. Terrible truths and strange encounters have punctuated his path thus far, but for all the dangers he has faced, nothing can compare to the darkness that lays ahead for him. The Mage war, the very words were enough to stir up the stuff of nightmares long ago and far into the future shaped by those terrible events. It was a time when the old civilization fell and the Monsters of that era tried to destroy any chance at a future, as they tore at the very fabric of reality. It was a terrible darkness that caused untold suffering, destruction, and death and left mental scars that had persisted through many dozens of generations, and it is that very same darkness that lays directly in Monorth's path.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Everything he has been working for, everything that he hopes to achieve, lays beyond the Mage war that now blocks his path towards home.

Not merely planets and peoples, but the very legacy of the Ancients he promised to help protect and preserve for future generations, all that is and all that was is threatened by the war, and the monsters of the coming age. Though he could hide away from it, let history take its' course, Monorth can not take the easy way out, he can not allow the darkness consume everything he has worked for. If he is to reach home and fulfill his promise, Monorth now must take up the terrible mantle of the Monster and put his life on the line to insure that the future isn't lost, while everything descends into the most terrible madness ever known.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Breaks of Naval Air The Further Adventures of Youthly Pursesome【電子書籍】[ Jack D. Woodul ]

＜p＞This book is a collection of mostly light hearted stories about tactical Naval Aviation off aircraft carriers in the 1960’s and 1970’s. It is not a history, per se, nor is it like one of the many fine, factual, first person accounts of by other Naval Aviators. The author’s impulse was to capture a snapshot of that culture and experience through both oral traditionーstories told by aviators that were too good to be lost; and his own experience. Thus was born Youthly Puresome and his passage through the various Breaks of Naval Air. Depicting the experiences of a typically irreverent young Naval Aviator, these stories stir memories of similar experiences in all who have flown Navy jet aircraft from the decks of aircraft carriers or from bases ashore. While the hardware may be different, these tales should resonate with other services, and the characters and life its ownself be familiar with those that know and love them.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Beginning in the Fall 1991 issue of The Tailhook Association’s quarterly publication, The Hook magazine, until Fall 2011, a series of these stories were published under the title: “The Further Adventures of Youthly Puresome.” Youthly is the alter ego of Jack Woodul, a native of New Mexico who went through the Navy’s Training Command in the early ’60s and earned his Naval Aviator’s wings. He flew the A-4 Skyhawk in Vietnam, and after leaving active duty continued to fly F-8 Crusaders and F-4 Phantoms with the NAS Dallas Reserves. When not bagging flight time in gray jets, he was an airline pilot in “real life.” Now retired, he continues to fly and write about light airplanes and ranch life.＜/p＞ ＜p＞“The Further Adventure of Youthly Puresome” series led to an Outstanding Sea Story award by Fighter Squadron 201 in 1988; the 1994 Hook Magazine Contributor of the Year award; and a 1998 Tailhook Association Lifetime Achievement Award.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞The year is 1914, and the Great War has just begun. For eighteen-year-old A.J. Mitchell, living in rural Tennessee, the war seems the adventure of a lifetime, promising action, glory, honor, and above all the passage into manhood. Unfortunately for A.J., America has decided to take no part in what it sees as yet another European squabble, leaving A.J., along with his five like-minded friends, sidelined and despondent. Willing to go to any lengths to participate in the last great war, the event that they believe will define their generation, A.J. and his friends hatch a plan to journey to Britain to enlist in her army and fight alongside them. Over the next several years, A.J. and his friends are confronted by all the realities and horrors of war, leaving each to cope as best they can. Through the crucible of the Western Front, A.J. indeed grows into a man, but at what cost? He is left to confront the emotional scars left by the war and attempt to find some meaning beyond it. One century since the year of the Somme and Verdun, take this opportunity to explore the brutal, gut-wrenching tragedy that was World War I. Explore the true nature of war, and bear witness to the lasting wounds left in those charged with fighting it. The Lost Generation is a gripping and passionate story of one soldier simply trying to survive the greatest war the world had ever seen, and to attempt to collect up the pieces of himself in its wake.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Shores of the Polar Sea "A Narrative of Arctic Expedition"【電子書籍】[ Edward L. Moss ]

＜p＞HE ARCTIC EXPEDITION of 1875 left England on 29th May, crossed the Atlantic to Davis Straits in a succession of storms, and entered the Arctic regions on 4th July. It sailed with orders to "attain the highest northern latitude, and, if possible, reach the Pole." In old times, when voyages were longer than in these days of steam, a nautical frolic on crossing "the Line" helped to break the monotony of many a tedious passage. This time-honoured custom is slowly becoming a thing of the past. When it is gone, there will be little in sea or sky to make crossing the Equator in any way remarkable. The Tropic Zones are no better defined, and one can sail into or out of them without experiencing a sin-gle impressive sensation. But the Arctic Circle has obvious boundaries. A conspicuous change in the ordinary habits of nature warns the traveller that he is leaving the hospitable realms of earth behind him, and entering a region full of new experiences. Here familiar light and darkness cease to alternate, morning and evening no longer make the day, and in proportion as the latitude increases, day and night become mere figures of speech. While our two ships steamed northward along the west shores of Greenland, the novel charm of constant daylight was felt by every one. We all had our own ideas of what Arctic summer would be like, but ideas drawn from books rarely remain unchanged when brought face to face with reality. Although the passage into perpetual day was of course gradual, yet it was quite rapid enough to upset all regular habits. Most of us observed sadly irregular hours, but one energetic fellow-voyager, bent on making the most of his opportunities, stopped up for three days at a stretch. Our squadron consisted of H.M.SS. "Alert," "Discovery," and "Valorous," the latter vessel accompanying the Expedition as far as Disco, for the purpose of helping it so far northwards with its heavy stock of three years' provisions and fuel. On entering Davis Straits no one of the ships had the least idea where the others were. They had been separated in a cyclone on 13th June, and had crossed the Atlantic independently. Fortunately, how-ever, all three turned up almost simultaneously off the west coast of Greenland. Four days before crossing the Arctic Circle, the "Alert" and "Discovery" met under the rugged coast near Godhaab. As the ships approached, each anxiously scanned the other to see what damage had been done by the Atlantic storms. Boats soon passed from ship to ship, and it was amusing to note how both men and officers of either ship (the writer included) already placed the firmest faith in their own vessel, and underrated the seaworthiness of her consort. It was positively quite disappointing to find that the "Discovery's" spars were all right, and that she, like ourselves, had lost but one boat. Of course we congratulated each other on our good fortune; and good fortune it was, for our light, beautifully built boats could not be replaced, and few ships, heavily laden both below and on deck as ours were, would have passed through such weather without more serious loss..＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞At the age of fifteen, Busser Howell lost 98 percent of his vision. At the age of forty he lost the remaining 2 percent. Were the story to end there you would likely not be entirely shocked as this type of circumstance is not that uncommon. But this is not the whole storyーnot by a long shot. You see, Howell is an artistーa painter, to be exact. And prior to being a professional, working artist in New York City he was a partner and worked twenty-four years in an interior design and restoration business. Possibly even more amazing than his breaking of our stereotypes of the blind is the fact that he is not alone. Interviewing other blind artists to discover each person’s particular point of view and what kind of descriptions work for them, author and blind artist Busser Howell’s debut is an extraordinary look into a world never before seen or understood from the point of view of the visually challenged. Beginning by examining the concepts of creativity, perception, touch, and accessibility, Howell engages the vibrant, boundless minds of fifteen visually impaired artists to mine their thoughts, feelings, and understanding to piece together a common thread of experience. It is the artists telling their story, their preferences and dislikes, and their ability, despite their blindness, to tap into sight’s brain-based function to see and comprehend our world and its contents. An enlightening and fascinating journey into the artistic process as seen by those whose vision is either severely impaired or altogether absent, Howell’s impressive collection of writings and interviews is a probing examination of the artistic process and the nature of art itself. Evocative and inspiring, Blindsight is a deeply moving passage that documents the journey of visual artists as they transition from the visual input of the outside world to the output of their inner vision transcending blindness into the light of creativity.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Five Seats is a psychological account of the brutal impact of violence on the ordinary lives of an unhappy wife, an imposing businesswoman, a God-fearing apostate, a fierce temptress and a skinny little girl who live in South Africa. As the five victims each struggle with unspeakable truths, their vulnerability and unravelling become inevitable. When they are about to give up on life, the girl-child follows a hidden passage into a basement where the four women are waiting to go on a quest in search of what they had lost.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Beautifully written with a rare vulnerability and honesty. Intriguing, with just enough clues to prepare the reader for a terrifying yet wonderful choice." Heather Snyman, Trauma Counsellor and EMDR Therapist＜/p＞ ＜p＞About the Author＜/p＞ ＜p＞Leonie Vorster is a Research Psychologist from Johannesburg, South Africa. She is also an award-winning strategist, and a writer. Her work is inspired by everyday life in one of the most beautiful, fascinating, and complicated countries in the world, and by her travels to others.＜/p＞ ＜p＞www.fiveseats.org＜/p＞ ＜p＞Five Seats is a magical realism novel. The unique characteristics of five protagonists and their harsh realities are combined with magical manifestations of their internal lives. Parts of the novel lean towards the style of realistic fiction, whereas other parts are written in the style of personal reflection or memoir. The style parallels the nature of the five main characters: Ancient Woman, Madonna and Little Girl are the more primal characters, whereas Working Girl and Virago are more reflective, but also more detached, observing themselves from a distance.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The seeming disjointedness of the protagonists challenges the reader to explore why and how the characters develop, as they survive violent events and struggle with the fallout. They inevitably fall apart, realising that they will not survive if they cannot overcome, and come together. Elements of magic run throughout the book, and fuse in the end. The characters' transformations are both real-world and symbolic, rendering their development relevant to anyone reading the book.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Five Seats is a literary commentary on dogmatism, hypocrisy, privilege, and the devastating impact of various forms of violence. Finally, the story also conveys hope and the belief that every person's journey, no matter how easy or hard, has meaning, is worthwhile, and 'magically' happens exactly as it should.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞The storms of life threaten all of us at one time or another, leaving us feeling lost, alone and without any hope. We all face adversities in the name of relationships, physical and mental health, the pain of loss, work stress, finances and persecution. Our relationship with Jesus Christ does not always exclude us from all the unpleasant circumstances life sometimes throws our way. But the Bible makes it clear that when we turn our lives over to God and pursue Him wholeheartedly, He will never leave us nor forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:6), no matter what our temporary situation looks like in the natural. The truth is, we are never alone, and there is a Friend who sticks closer than a brother (Proverbs 18:24), granting to us out of His great mercy an inexhaustible supply of power and love to weather any life-storm we face. Through it all, He ensures we are more than conquerors. (Romans 8:37)＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is the second of two volumes in a year-long daily devotional that highlights nearly a hundred of the most comforting and powerful verses on how God is our Shelter from the storm. Streamlined commentary unveils the truth of each passage and offers practical application to incorporate in one’s daily life.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Slave Ship, Memory and the Origin of Modernity【電子書籍】[ Martyn Hudson ]

＜p＞Traces; slave names, the islands and cities into which we are born, our musics and rhythms, our genetic compositions, our stories of our lost utopias and the atrocities inflicted upon our ancestors, by our ancestors, the social structure of our cities, the nature of our diasporas, the scars inflicted by history. These are all the remnants of the middle passage of the slave ship for those in the multiple diasporas of the globe today, whose complex histories were shaped by that journey. Whatever remnants that once existed in the subjectivities and collectivities upon which slavery was inflicted has long passed. But there are hints in material culture, genetic and cultural transmissions and objects that shape certain kinds of narratives - this is how we know ourselves and how we tell our stories. This path-breaking book uncovers the significance of the memory of the slave ship for modernity as well as its role in the cultural production of modernity. By so doing, it examines methods of ethnography for historical events and experiences and offers a sociology and a history from below of the slave experience. The arguments in this book show the way for using memory studies to undermine contemporary slavery.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
