Voices from the Forest: Integrating Indigenous Knowledge into Sustainable Upland Farming (RFF Press) (RFF Press)

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This handbook of locally based agricultural practices brings together the best of science and farmer experimentation, vividly illustrating the enormous diversity of shifting cultivation systems as well as the power of human ingenuity. Environmentalists have tended to disparage shifting cultivation (sometimes called swidden cultivation, or `slash-and-burn agriculture`) as unsustainable due to its supposed role in deforestation and land degradation. However, a growing body of evidence indicates that such indigenous practices, as they have evolved over time, can be highly adaptive to land and ecology. In contrast, `scientific` agricultural solutions imposed from outside can be far more damaging to the environment. Moreover, these external solutions often fail to recognize the extent to which an agricultural system supports a way of life along with a society`s food needs. They do not recognize the degree to which the sustainability of a culture is intimately associated with the… [detailed...]

Frank Schaeffer
Voices from the Front : Letters Home from America`s Military Family

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionFrank Schaeffer draws on his relationships with America?s military families to gather a timely and powerful collection of writing from the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Like Keeping Faith and Faith of Our Sons, Voices from the Front bridges the divide between those who are in, or who have family members in the military, and the rest of us who can take that service for granted. It is a book about the intimately emotional and human side of military service. While Faith of Our Sons reflected this war through the home front struggles of a quietly courageous community of families, Voices From the Front takes us directly to the often invisible front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan: from first deploymentto patrols to combat to field hospitals and, in some cases, homecoming. As Schaeffer has written of a group he has come to think of?politics apart?as the next greatest generation, `We need to know the men and women in combat… [detailed...]

Chan E. Park
Voices from the Straw Mat: Toward an Ethnography of Korean Story Singing (Hawaii Studies on Korea)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionFrom its humble `straw mat` origins to its paradoxical status as a national treasure, p`ansori has survived centuries of change and remains the primary source of Korean narrative and poetic consciousness. In this innovative work, Chan Park approaches this stylized storytelling tradition and celebrates her subject not as a static phenomenon but a living, organic tradition adapting to an ever-shifting context. Drawing on her extensive literary and performance backgrounds, Park provides insights into the relationship between language and music, singing and speaking, and traditional and modern reception. Her `performance-centered` approach to p`ansori informs the discussion of a wide range of topics, including the amalgamation of the dramatic, the narrative, and the poetic, the invocation of traditional narrative in contemporary politics, the vocal construction of gender, and the politics of preservation. Park creates a text that in many ways mirrors a … [detailed...]

Voices in the Mirror : An Autobiography (Harlem Moon Classics)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Alone after his mother’s death, homeless in a Minnesota winter, young Gordon struggled to stay in school, working at menial jobs and riding streetcars all night to escape the cold. Refusing to succumb to despair, he instead transformed his anger at poverty and racism into a creative force and went on to break down one barrier after another. He was the first black photographer at Vogue and Life, and the first black screenwriter and director in Hollywood, at the helm of such projects as the award-winning Shaft . And his novel, The Learning Tree, has sold more than a quarter of a million copies. Spanning the major events of five decades, Voices in the Mirror takes readers from Minnesota and Washington, D.C., to the glamour of Paris and the ghettos of Rio and Harlem.

Description: Throughout the nineteenth century, American authors such as Henry James, William Dean Howells, and Noah Webster displayed a fascination with women`s speech -- describing how women`s voices sound, what happens when women speak, and what reactions their speech produces, especially in their male listeners. Voices of the Nation argues that closer inspection of these recurring descriptions also performed political work that has had a profound -- though unspecified to date -- impact on American culture.

She brings together a wide range of disciplines - anthropology, fiction, art and art history, philosophy, and contemporary literary theory - to look at the intellectual history of Africa, from African rather than European premisses. The result is a history of popular consciousness which shows the experiences of ordinary people, often in protest at their exploitation by generation after generation of powerful foreigners and locals.

In the summer of 2002, 942 poor women and men from ten poor communities of Colombia discussed urgent problems facing their families and communities. They shared their experiences, frustrations and hopes for improving their deteriorating livelihood prospects, the pervasive violence afflicting theirhomes and communities, and the very poor educational and training opportunities availably locally. Voices of the Poor in Colombia also includes proposals, developed by the communities, that they believe can bring real improvements to their lives. Two broad patterns emerge from the more than 250 action recommendations developed. First, poor people view problems of livelihood, insecurity and education as tightly connected, and progress will have to be made simultaneously on all… [detailed...]

With affinities to Taoist and Buddhist epigrams, Voices bears witness to the aweof human existence. Revised and updated with a new introduction by translator W.S. Merwin, this bilingual volume brings back into print one of Latin America`s great literary treasures. He who tells the truth says almost nothing. * I know what I have given you. I do not know what you have received. * Only a few arrive at nothing, because the way is long. * Out of a hundred years a few minutes were made that stayed with me, not a hundred years. * When I come upon some idea that is not of this world, I feel as though this world had grown wider. * This world understands nothing but words, and you have come into it with almost none. * We become aware of the void as we fill it. … [detailed...]
