Curse of the chosen. by Deacon, Alexis,author,illustrator.(CARDINAL)687976;
"As the great chief matriarch lay dying, she gave one final decree: Upon her death there would be a contest. Having no heir of her own blood she called on the gods. Let fate decide the one truly worthy to rule in her place. The rich, the strong, the wise, the powerful; many put forward their names in hope of being chosen. But when the night came--only fifty souls alone were chosen. After surviving two terrible tasks, the remaining chosen are scattered throughout the castle, trapped by Niope's curse. Some have been transformed into her thralls or shrunk to the size of a mouse, and hope is slipping thorugh their fingers. The throne is yet to be claimed. Though weakened, Io is more determined than ever to free herself and her friends from the evil that binds them all together. But can she resist the temptation of powerful Death Magic and the pull of darkness within herself?"--OCLC.

Chiefdoms, collapse, and coalescence in the early American South / by Beck, Robin A.(CARDINAL)338804;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 267-291) and index.Part 1. Chiefdoms. The desert of ocute ; The quartermaster's list -- Part 2. Collapse. The stranger indians ; The Waxhaws' burden -- Part 3. Coalescence. The color of war ; The deerskin map."This book provides a new conceptual framework for understanding how the Indian nations of the early American South emerged from the ruins of a precolonial, Mississippian world. A broad regional synthesis that ranges over much of the Eastern Woodlands, its focus is on the Indians of the Carolina Piedmont -- the Catawbas and their neighbors - from 1400 to 1725. Using an "eventful" approach to social change, Robin Beck argues that the collapse of the Mississippian world was fundamentally a transformation of political economy, from one built on maize to one of guns, slaves, and hides. The story takes us from first encounters through the rise of the Indian slave trade and the scourge of disease to the wars that shook the American South in the early 1700s. Yet the book's focus remains on the Catawbas, drawing on their experiences in a violent, unstable landscape to develop a comparative perspective on structural continuity and change."--Publisher's website.

First pulished in Kenya in 2014 to critical and popular acclaim, Kintu is a modern classic, a multilayered narrative that reimagines the history of Uganda through the cursed bloodline of the Kintu clan. Divided into six sections, the novel begins in 1750, when Kintu Kidda sets out for the capital to pledge allegiance to the new leader of the Buganda Kingdom. Along the way, he unleashes a curse that will plague his family for generations. In an ambitious tale of a clan and a nation, Makumbi weaves together the stories of Kintu's descendants as they seek to break from the burden of their shared past and reconcile the inheritance of tradition and the modern world that is their future.
