Gods and Symbols of Ancient Mexico and the Maya
The myths and beliefs of the great pre-Columbian civilizations of Mesoamerica have baffled and fascinated outsiders ever since the Spanish Conquest. Yet, until now, no single-volume introduction has existed to act as a guide to this labyrinthine symbolic world. The Gods and Symbols of Ancient Mexico and the Maya is the first-ever English-language dictionary of Mesoamerican mythology and religion. Nearly 300 entries, from accession to yoke, describe the main gods and symbols of the Olmecs, Zapotecs, Maya, Teotihuacanos, Mixtecs, Toltecs, and Aztecs. Topics range from jaguar and jester gods to reptile eye and rubber, from creation accounts and sacred places to ritual practices such as bloodlet...
The Poet's Wife
GENERAL & LITERARY FICTION. It is 1841. Patty Clare is married to John Clare: peasant poet, genius and madman. Travelling home one day, Patty is shocked to find her husband sitting at the side of the road, having absconded from a lunatic asylum over 80 miles away. Delighted to see him and hopeful that his condition has improved, she is devastated when it becomes clear that John's mental health has deteriorated still further, and he now thinks himself married twice: to both Patty and his childhood sweetheart, Mary Joyce, a woman who has been dead for more than three years. Patty still loves John deeply but he seems lost to her, obsessed with the idealised memory of a woman that she cannot possibly match. She finds herself driven to distraction, consumed with jealousy and struggling to cope with her large, unruly family. But with John descending further into his own delusions, hope seems to be fading that he will ever be restored to the man she married.
Streetwise
A collection of photographs of Seattle's street children that captures their lives on the streets--and the effects of that life. Meet Tina, a 13-year-old prostitute with dreams of diamonds and furs; Rat and Mike, 16-year-olds who eat from dumpsters; and Dewayne, a 16-year-old boy who hanged himself in a juvenile facility when faced with the prospect of returning to the streets. 57 duotone photographs.
Colonizing Bodies
Using postmodern and postcolonial conceptions of the body and the power relations of colonization, Kelm shows how a pluralistic medical system evolved among Canada's most populous Aboriginal population. She explores the effect which Canada's Indian policy has had on Aboriginal bodies and considers how humanitarianism and colonial medicine were used to pathologize Aboriginal bodies and institute a regime of doctors, hospitals, and field matrons, all working to encourage assimilation. In this detailed but highly readable ethnohistory, Kelm reveals how Aboriginal people were able to resist and alter these forces in order to preserve their own cultural understanding of their bodies, disease, and medicine.
