Colt’s powerful personality drives the narrative, showing his brilliant showmanship, family connections, occasional legerdemain, and aggressive political lobbying to force his business dream into a commercial success. No hagiography, this work is as much a non-judgmental history of the development of American gun culture as it is of Samuel Colt himself.
The luminous writing of this well-crafted memoir seems as much a form of prayer and self-discovery as the marathon itself. Recommended for not only its appeal to long-distance runners, but also its contribution to the literature of modern social justice.
This ongoing national crisis of violence against women is not unique to Canada, and is being scrutinized in the United States, too. McDiarmid’s exposé of racism and the lack of justice for indigenous women should be required reading for all.
McCann places the Malheur occupation in a fresh and broadly anthropological context that furthers our understanding of the ramifications of this political-religious movement in an era of extreme political demagoguery. Highly recommended.
While the editors have written their own books on the subject and are active participants in modern indigenous movements, this contextual anthology gives recognition and voice to the many who participated in the #NoDAPL protests. Highly recommended for casting light on a landmark cultural movement.
At once a personal and professional take on the complexities of traditionalist vs. assimilationist politics at both tribal and federal levels, this family history relates the Clouds' experience with institutional racism and federal policies of settler colonialism. Recommended for all interested in Native American studies.
A dramatic and personal account of the Wright family and how they developed a second business in the modern rodeo circuit to support their family ranch at Smith Mesa. Recommended for understanding 21st-century American cowboy culture.Nathan Bender, Albany Cty. P.L., Laramie, WY
