DISCOVER THE EPIC STORY OF THE ORIGINAL WWI CODE TALKERS… The day I betrayed Isaac, I vowed never again to speak my native language in front of white men. When America enters the Great War in 1917, Bertram Robert (B.B.) Dunn and his Choctaw buddies from Armstrong Academy join the army to protect their homes, their families, and their country.

Stationed in worn-torn Europe since 1914, war correspondent Matthew Teller, B.B.’s uncle, is ready to quit until an encounter with a fellow Choctaw sets him on a path...
Eine Vielzahl von Aspekten der jüngsten Zeit – von Naturkatastrophen und pandemischen Krisen, sich zunehmend polarisierenden Gesellschaften und entfremdeten Gesellschaftsschichten, von Dämmerungen im religiösen und Radikalisierungen im politischen Feld bis zu sich anbahnenden wesentlichen Machtverschiebungen und grundsätzlichen Veränderungen von Herrschaftsformen – lassen darauf schließen, dass sich die Welt in einem Umbruch befindet. Doch handelt es sich hierbei um einen Umbruch mit klar erkennbarem Ende und einem sich klar anbahnenden Neubeginn, oder sind die Ereignisse und Prozesse vielmehr im Sinne eines Kontinuums zu verstehen? Geisteswissenschaftliche Annäherungen an Phänomene des Wandels durch die Jahrhunderte ermöglichen aufschlussreiche Einsichten in die Dynamik von Zeitläuften. Eine Gleichzeitigkeit im Ungleichzeitigen voraussetzend, macht sich der Band zur Aufgabe, Endpunkte und Neuanfänge, die u.a. durch Kriege und Krisen, Revolutionen und Paradigmenwechsel hervorgerufen wurden, in einen größeren Gesamtkontext zu stellen und somit zeitgemäße Aussagen zur geisteswissenschaftlichen Forschung sowie zu Beschaffenheit unseres Zeitalters zu treffen.
This volume examines the dynamic relationship between the body, clothing, and identity in sub-Saharan Africa and raises questions that have previously been directed almost exclusively to a Western and urban context. Unusual in its treatment of the body surface as a critical frontier in the production and authentification of identity, Clothing and Difference shows how the body and its adornment have been used to construct and contest social and individual identities in Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Kenya, and other African societies during both colonial and post-colonial times. Grounded in the insights of anthropology and history and influenced by developments in cultural studies, these essays...
