Displacement, Elimination and Replacement of Indigenous People Putting into Perspective Land Ownership and Ancestry in
Jairos Kangira, "Displacement, Elimination and Replacement of Indigenous People: Putting into Perspective Land Ownership and Ancestry in "
English | ISBN: 9956550310 | 2019 | 280 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Colonial scholars have taken immense pleasure in portraying Africans as possessed by spirits but as lacking possession and ownership of their resources, including land. Erroneously deemed to be thoroughly spiritually possessed but lacking senses of material possession and ownership of resources, Africans have been consistently dispossessed and displaced from the era of enslavement, through colonialism, to the neocolonial era. Delving into the historiography of dispossession and displacement on the continent of Africa, and in particular in Zimbabwe, this book also tackles contemporary forms of dispossession and displacement manifesting in the ongoing transnational corporations land grabs in Africa, wherein African peasants continue to be dispossessed and displaced.

E-BooksThe Apache Diaspora Four Centuries of Displacement and Survival [Audiobook]



The Apache Diaspora Four Centuries of Displacement and Survival [Audiobook]
English | ASIN: B09TCFM9CR | 2022 | 15 hours and 52 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 436 MB
Across four centuries, Apache (Nde) peoples in the North American West confronted enslavement and forced migration schemes intended to exploit, subjugate, or eliminate them. While many Indigenous groups in the Americas lived through similar histories, Apaches were especially affected owing to their mobility, resistance, and proximity to multiple imperial powers. Based on archival research in Spain, Mexico, and the United States, as well Apache oral histories, The Apache Diaspora brings to life the stories of displaced Apaches and the kin from whom they were separated. As Conrad argues, diaspora was deeply influential not only to those displaced, but also to Apache groups who managed to remain in the West, influencing the strategies of mobility and resistance for which they would become famous around the world.

E-BooksThe Portable Community Place and Displacement in Bluegrass Festival Life






The Portable Community Place and Displacement in Bluegrass Festival Life
Robert Owen Gardner, "The Portable Community: Place and Displacement in Bluegrass Festival Life "
English | ISBN: 1138496375 | 2020 | 230 pages | PDF | 35 MB
This book explores the various ways in which individuals use music and culture to understand and respond to changes in their natural and built environments. Drawing on over 15 years of ethnographic fieldwork, interviews, and participant observation, the author develops the thesis that the relationships, networks, and intimate forms of social interaction in the "portable" community cultivated at bluegrass festival events are significant cultural formations that shape participants' relationships to their localities. With specific attention to the ways in which the strength of these relationships are translated into meaningful sites of community identity, place, and action following devastating local floods that destroyed homes and businesses, displacing residents for years, sheds light on the strength of such communities when tested and under external threat. A study of the central role of arts and music in grappling with social and environmental change, including their role in facilitating disaster relief and recovery, this volume will appeal to scholars of sociology with interests in symbolic interactionism, the sociology of music, culture, and the sociology of disaster.

E-BooksMining, Displacement, and Matriliny in Meghalaya Gendered Transitions





Mining, Displacement, and Matriliny in Meghalaya Gendered Transitions
Bitopi Dutta, "Mining, Displacement, and Matriliny in Meghalaya: Gendered Transitions "
English | ISBN: 0367678500 | 2022 | 186 pages | PDF | 11 MB
This book studies how Development-Induced Displacement (DID) radically restructures gender relations in indigenous tribal societies. Through an indepth case study of the Indian state of Meghalaya, one of the few matrilineal societies of the world, it analyses how people cope with conflicts in their perception of self, family, and society brought on by the transition from traditional modes of living to increased urbanisation, and how these experiences are different for men and women. It looks at the ways in which this gendered change is experienced inter-generationally in different contexts of people's lives, including work and leisure activities. The book also investigates people's attitudes towards matrilineal structures and their perception of change on matriliny where mining has played a role in building their view of their matrilineal tradition.
