The Skin of the World
What do you do when you’ve broken the world? Mischief is the Trickster, the godling of chaos: she’s Loki, Hermes, Satan, Raven, Anansi, all in one…born to stir the pot, disturb the complacent, light the fires of change and creativity. But Mischief gets a bit lazy, lets things slide, and the shine comes off the world; a dull sameness sets in, the very condition she was created to prevent. Called to account for her failure, she presents a plan to fix the results of her backsliding. Of course, she’s the Trickster; did she ignore her duties by accident, or on purpose? Only Mischief knows. But she’s given permission to go ahead and reintroduce a little chaos to the world. Except she manages to release a lot of chaos. A whole lot. The heavenly court thought the world was out of balance before; now it’s shattered. Mischief is told to fix it, again; failure this time means both the world, and herself, will be torn down and replaced. Has the Trickster tricked herself into oblivion?
To Tame A Savage

Man Of Honor In Boston, Colt comes under the tutelage of Miss Samantha MacGregor, a young governess hired to "civilize" him.

"Time and time again, Georgina Gentry brings the American West to life."--Romantic Times on To Tame a Savage
Lessons in Legitimacy
Between 1849 and 1930, government-assisted schooling in what is now British Columbia supported the development of a capitalist settler society. Lessons in Legitimacy examines state schooling for Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples – public schools, Indian Day Schools, and Indian Residential Schools – in one analytical frame. Schooling for Indigenous and non-Indigenous children and youth functioned in distinct yet complementary ways, teaching students lessons in legitimacy that normalized settler capitalism and the making of British Columbia. Church and state officials administered different school systems that trained Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples to take up and accept unequal roles in the emerging social order. Combining insights from history, Indigenous studies, historical materialism, and political economy, this important study reveals how an understanding of the historical uses of schooling can inform contemporary discussions about the role of education in reconciliation and improving Indigenous–settler relations.
