E-BooksCloser to Freedom Enslaved Women and Everyday Resistance in the Plantation South [Audiobook]





Closer to Freedom Enslaved Women and Everyday Resistance in the Plantation South [Audiobook]
English | ASIN: B097Q6TN4H | 2021 | 8 hours and 23 minutes |MP3|M4B | 231 MB
Recent scholarship has explored the lives of enslaved people beyond the watchful eye of their masters. Building on this work and the study of space, social relations, gender, and power in the Old South, Stephanie Camp examines the everyday containment and movement of enslaved men and, especially, enslaved women. In her investigation of the movement of bodies, objects, and information, Camp extends our recognition of slave resistance into new arenas and reveals an important and hidden culture of opposition. She brings new depth to our understanding of the lives of enslaved women, whose bodies and homes were inevitably political arenas.
Through Camp's insight, truancy becomes an act of pursuing personal privacy. Illegal parties ("frolics") become an expression of bodily freedom. And bondwomen who acquired printed abolitionist materials and posted them on the walls of their slave cabins (even if they could not read them) become the subtle agitators who inspire more overt acts. The culture of opposition created by enslaved women's acts of everyday resistance helped foment and sustain the more visible resistance of men in their individual acts of running away and in the collective action of slave revolts. Ultimately, Camp argues, the Civil War years saw revolutionary change that had been in the making for decades.

Everyday carry, often abbreviated as EDC, is simply defined as the items that one carries on him or herself consistently each day in order to make everyday life easier or to deal with potential emergency situations. So in the most simple sense, EDC is the collection of important items that we always stuff our pockets (or bags/purses) with before we step out of our house. While each of us technically has an EDC, because we all have items that we carry every day such as a smartphone or wallet, far fewer of us actually have a complete EDC kit that will enable us to handle unexpected survival situations or life threatening emergencies that we could run into. This book will teach you how you can improve your EDC so you can accomplish two things: 1. Make your everyday life outside of your home easier 2.

E-BooksThe Everyday Lives of Sovereignty Political Imagination beyond the State





The Everyday Lives of Sovereignty Political Imagination beyond the State
The Everyday Lives of Sovereignty: Political Imagination beyond the State by Rebecca Bryant, Madeleine Reeves
2021 | ISBN: 1501755730, 1501755749 | English | 276 pages | PDF | 6 MB
Around the world, border walls and nationalisms are on the rise as people express the desire to "take back" sovereignty. The contributors to this collection use ethnographic research in disputed and exceptional places to study sovereignty claims from the ground up. While it might immediately seem that citizens desire a stronger state, the cases of compromised, contested, or failed sovereignty in this volume point instead to political imaginations beyond the state form. Examples from Spain to Afghanistan and from Western Sahara to Taiwan show how calls to take back control or to bring back order are best understood as longings for sovereign agency. By paying close ethnographic attention to these desires and their consequences, The Everyday Lives of Sovereignty offers a new way to understand why these yearnings have such profound political resonance in a globally interconnected world.

E-BooksActing Like a State Kosovo and the Everyday Making of Statehood





Acting Like a State Kosovo and the Everyday Making of Statehood
Gëzim Visoka, "Acting Like a State: Kosovo and the Everyday Making of Statehood "
English | ISBN: 1138285331 | 2018 | 254 pages | PDF | 2 MB
How do emerging states obtain international recognition and secure membership of international organisations in contemporary world politics? This book provides the first in-depth study of Kosovo's diplomatic approach to becoming a sovereign state by obtaining international recognition and securing membership of international organisations. Analysing the everyday diplomatic discourses, performances, and entanglements, this book contends that state-becoming is not wholly determined by systemic factors, normative institutions, or the preferences of great powers; the diplomatic agency of the fledgling state plays a far more important role than is generally acknowledged. Drawing on institutional ethnographic research and first-hand observations, this book argues that Kosovo's diplomatic success in consolidating its sovereign statehood has been the situational assemblage of multiple discourses, practiced through a broad variety of performative actions, and shaped by a complex entanglement with global assemblages of norms, actors, relations, and events. Accordingly, this book contributes to expanding our understanding of the everyday diplomatic agency of emerging states and the changing norms, politics, and practices regarding the diplomatic recognition of states and their admission to international society.
