Indian slavery in colonial America / by Gallay, Alan,1957-(CARDINAL)196016;
Includes bibliographical references and index."European enslavement of American Indians began with Christopher Columbus's arrival in the New World. The slave trade expanded with European colonies, and though African slave labor filled many needs, huge numbers of America's indigenous peoples continued to be captured and forced to work as slaves. Although central to the process of colony-building in what became the United States, this phenomena has received scant attention from historians." "Indian Slavery in Colonial America examines the complicated dynamics of Indian enslavement. How and why Indians became both slaves of the Europeans and suppliers of slavery's victims is the subject of this book. The essays in this collection use Indian slavery as a lens through which to explore both Indian and European societies and their interactions, as well as relations between and among Native groups."--Jacket.

Loaded : a disarming history of the Second Amendment / by Dunbar-Ortiz, Roxanne,1938-author.(CARDINAL)348486;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 211-231) and index.Introduction: Gun love -- Historical context of the Second Amendment -- Savage war -- Slave patrols -- Confederate guerrillas to outlaw icons -- Myth of the hunter -- The Second Amendment as a covenant -- Mass shootings -- White nationalists, the Militia movement, and Tea Party patriots -- Eluding and resisting the historical white supremacy of the Second Amendment -- Conclusion: History is not past."America loves guns. From Daniel Boone and Jesse James, to the NRA and Seal Team 6, gun culture has colored the lore, shaped the law, and protected the market that arms the nation. In Loaded, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz peels away the myths of gun culture to expose the true historical origins of the Second Amendment, revealing the racial undercurrents connecting the earliest Anglo settlers with contemporary gun proliferation, modern-day policing, and the consolidation of influence of armed white nationalists. From the enslavement of Blacks and the conquest of Native America, to the arsenal of institutions that constitute the "gun lobby," Loaded presents a people's history of the Second Amendment, as seen through the lens of those who have been most targeted by guns: people of color. Meticulously researched and thought-provoking throughout, this is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the historical connections between racism and gun violence in the United States"--Publisher's description.

The War of American Independence, 1763-1783 : falling dominoes / by Carpenter, Stanley D. M.,author.(CARDINAL)800777; Delamer, Kevin J.,author.Rev.(CARDINAL)888476; McIntyre, James R.,author.(CARDINAL)890071; Zwilling, Andrew T.,author.(CARDINAL)888477;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 287-307) and index."The War of American Independence, 1763-1783: Falling Dominoes addresses the military, maritime and naval, economic, key personalities, key societal groups, political, imperial rivalry, and diplomatic dynamics and events from the post-Seven Years' War era in Great Britain's North American colonies through the end of the War of American Independence. Beginning in 1763 and moving through the War chronologically, the authors argue that British political and strategic leaders failed to develop an effective strategy to quell the discontent and subsequent revolt in the North American colonies and thus failed to restore allegiance to the Crown. This book describes and analyzes events and the outcomes of central players' decisions - the British North American colonies, Great Britain, France, Spain, and the Dutch Republic - and the resultant actions. It examines events through the thematic lens of strategy, political and military leadership, public attitudes, economics, international rivalries and relations, and the role of traditionally less-considered groups: women, slaves, and Native American peoples. An enlightening and essential read for all history students, from high school through to those on postgraduate courses, as well as those with an interest in American Independence history"--

The edible South : the power of food and the making of an American region / by Ferris, Marcie Cohen,author.(CARDINAL)266716;
Includes bibliographical references and index.I Look for food in everything -- Outsiders : travelers and newcomers encounter the early South -- Insiders : culinary codes of the plantation household -- I will eat some for you : food voices of northern-born governesses in the plantation South -- An embattled table : the language of food in the Civil War South -- Culinary testimony : African Americans and the collective memory of a nineteenth-century South -- The reconstructed table -- The shifting soil of southern agriculture and the undermining of the southern diet -- Home economics and domestic science come to the southern table -- The southern "dietaries" : food field studies in Alabama and Eastern Virginia -- Reforming the southern diet one student at a time : the mountain South and the lowcountry -- Agricultural reform comes home -- The deepest reality of life : southern sociology, the WPA and food in the New South -- Branding the edible New South -- A journey back in time : food and tourism in the New South -- I'm gonna sit at the welcome table : southern food and the Civil Rights Movement -- Culinary landmarks of "the Struggle" -- A hungry South -- A food counterculture, southern-style -- New Southern cuisine.In The Edible South, Marcie Cohen Ferris presents food as a new way to chronicle the American South's larger history. Ferris tells a richly illustrated story of southern food and the struggles of whites, blacks, Native Americans, and other people of the region to control the nourishment of their bodies and minds, livelihoods, lands, and citizenship. The experience of food serves as an evocative lens onto colonial settlements and antebellum plantations, New South cities and Civil Rights-era lunch counters, chronic hunger and agricultural reform, counterculture communes and iconic restaurants as Ferris reveals how food--as cuisine and as commodity--has expressed and shaped southern identity to the present day. The region in which European settlers were greeted with unimaginable natural abundance was simultaneously the place where enslaved Africans vigilantly preserved cultural memory in cuisine and Native Americans held tight to kinship and food traditions despite mass expulsions. Southern food, Ferris argues, is intimately connected to the politics of power. The contradiction between the realities of fulsomeness and deprivation, privilege and poverty, in southern history resonates in the region's food traditions, both beloved and maligned.--Publisher website.

Chop chop : cooking the food of Nigeria / by Sokoh, Ozoz,author.; Ransom, James(Photographer),photographer.(CARDINAL)606603;

And it's no surprise Nigeria has an entire vernacular dedicated to eating-with more than 50 nationally recognized languages and 250 ethnicities, Nigeria's food is as rich and diverse as its people. Think smoky spicy beef suya skewers, egusi stew rich with wild greens, restorative pepper soup, jollof rice studded with tomatoes, soft puff puff dough bites fried until golden, and sweet-tart hibiscus drinks. With ingredients that include nuts and seeds, greens, grains, and cereals (especially in the north), roots and tubers (favorites of the south), and affordable proteins, they come together on the plate in the form of hearty soups and stews, steamed puddings, salads, rice dishes, fritters, and more. Despite the foodway's incredibly flavorful complexity, its recipes have never been gathered in one place. Until now. Author, culinary anthropologist, and Nigerian native Ozoz Sokoh celebrates classic and traditional Nigerian cuisine, through the lens of the home cooks with explanations to underscore the ingredients, flavors, and textures that make it not only beloved but delicious. With headnotes that give cultural and historical context, illuminating sidebars, ingredient profiles, and stunning photographs, Chop Chop will bring Nigeria's food-loving spirit to home kitchens everywhere"--This cookbook presents a comprehensive exploration of Nigerian cuisine, highlighting its cultural and regional diversity. Chop Chop by Ozoz Sokoh, a culinary anthropologist and Nigerian native, features traditional recipes from across the country, drawing on ingredients such as grains, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, greens, and affordable proteins. The book includes a variety of dishes, from soups and stews to rice meals and fried snacks, reflecting Nigeria's rich culinary heritage. With contextual headnotes, ingredient profiles, cultural insights, and photographs, this collection offers both historical background and practical guidance for preparing Nigerian food at home.

Abigail / by Szabó, Magda,1917-2007,author.(CARDINAL)710077; Rix, L. B.(Len B.),translator.(CARDINAL)720026;
"Abigail, the story of a headstrong teenager growing up during World War II, is the most beloved of Magda Szabó's books in her native Hungary. Gina is the only child of a general, a widower who has long been happy to spoil his bright and willful daughter. Gina is devastated when the general tells her that he must go away on a mission and that he will be sending her to boarding school in the country. She is even more aghast at the grim religious institution to which she soon finds herself consigned. She fights with her fellow students, she rebels against her teachers, finds herself completely ostracized, and runs away. Caught and brought back, there is nothing for Gina to do except entrust her fate to the legendary Abigail, as the classical statue of a woman with an urn that stands on the school's grounds has come to be called. If you're in trouble, it's said, leave a message with Abigail and help will be on the way. And for Gina, who is in much deeper trouble than she could possibly suspect, a life-changing adventure is only beginning." --
