Reservation Reelism Redfacing, Visual Sovereignty, and Representations of Native Americans in Film
Reservation Reelism: Redfacing, Visual Sovereignty, and Representations of Native Americans in Film By Michelle H. Raheja
2011 | 376 Pages | ISBN: 0803234457 | PDF | 3 MB
In this deeply engaging account Michelle H. Raheja offers the first book-length study of the Indigenous actors, directors, and spectators who helped shape Hollywood's representation of Indigenous peoples. Since the era of silent films, Hollywood movies and visual culture generally have provided the primary representational field on which Indigenous images have been displayed to non-Native audiences. These films have been highly influential in shaping perceptions of Indigenous peoples as, for example, a dying race or as inherently unable or unwilling to adapt to change. However, films with Indigenous Descriptions and subDescriptions also signify at least some degree of Native presence in a culture that largely defines Native peoples as absent or separate.Native actors, directors, and spectators have had a part in creating these cinematic representations and have thus complicated the dominant, and usually negative, messages about Native peoples thatfilms portray. In Reservation Reelism Raheja examines the history of these Native actors, directors, and spectators,reveals their contributions, and attempts to create positive representations in film that reflect the complex and vibrant experiences of Native peoples and communities.

Reinventing Human Rights
Mark Goodale, "Reinventing Human Rights "
English | ISBN: 1503613305 | 2022 | 232 pages | PDF | 2 MB
A radical vision for the future of human rights as a fundamentally reconfigured framework for global justice. Reinventing Human Rights offers a bold argument: that only a radically reformulated approach to human rights will prove adequate to confront and overcome the most consequential global problems. Charting a new path-away from either common critiques of the various incapacities of the international human rights system or advocacy for the status quo-Mark Goodale offers a new vision for human rights as a basis for collective action and moral renewal. Goodale's proposition to reinvent human rights begins with a deep unpacking of human rights institutionalism and political theory in order to give priority to the "practice of human rights." Rather than a priori claims to universality, he calls for a working theory of human rights defined by "translocality," a conceptual and ethical grounding that invites people to form alliances beyond established boundaries of community, nation, race, or religious identity. This book will serve as both a concrete blueprint and source of inspiration for those who want to preserve human rights as a key framework for confronting our manifold contemporary challenges, yet who agree-for many different reasons-that to do so requires radical reappraisal, imaginative reconceptualization, and a willingness to reinvent human rights as a cross-cultural foundation for both empowerment and social action.

Regression Models for Categorical, Count, and Related Variables An Applied Approach
Dr. John P. Hoffmann, "Regression Models for Categorical, Count, and Related Variables: An Applied Approach"
English | ISBN: 0520289293 | 2016 | 432 pages | PDF | 11 MB
Social science and behavioral science students and researchers are often confronted with data that are categorical, count a phenomenon, or have been collected over time. Sociologists examining the likelihood of interracial marriage, political scientists studying voting behavior, criminologists counting the number of offenses people commit, health scientists studying the number of suicides across neighborhoods, and psychologists modeling mental health treatment success are all interested in outcomes that are not continuous. Instead, they must measure and analyze these events and phenomena in a discrete manner.

Rebellion in the Middle Ages Fight Against the Crown
Matthew Lewis, "Rebellion in the Middle Ages: Fight Against the Crown"
English | ISBN: 1526727935 | 2022 | 248 pages | EPUB, PDF | 22 + 16 MB
Shakespeare's Henry IV lamented 'Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown'. It was true of that king's reign and of many others before and after. From Hereward the Wake's guerilla war, resisting the Norman invasion of William the Conqueror, through the Anarchy, the murder of Thomas Becket, the rebellions of Henry II's sons, the deposition of Edward II, the Peasants' Revolt and the rise of the over-mighty noble subject that led to the Wars of the Roses, kings throughout the medieval period came under threat from rebellions and resistance that sprang from the nobility, the Church, and even the general population.

To pay for acting classes (ten dollars each, alongside the likes of Jack Nicholson) she waited tables at a coffee house on the Sunset Strip that was a hangout for Marlon Brando, Steve McQueen, and Warren Beatty.While she watered her lawn one morning in her bathrobe, Ringo Starr stopped in his convertible to say he'd just moved into the neighborhood and she should drop by; during the Vietnam War, she dated Henry Kissinger. Overthe years, there were drugs, affairs, diets, and therapy,a music album,a marriage, and motherhood.As the innocence of the 1950s collided with the free spirit of the 1960s, everything felt new and exciting, and Sally Kellerman was right in the middle of it. InREAD MY LIPSSally transports us back to that unique era and shares the challenges and rewards of her marriage, children, and her iconic career.
