This first volume of John Worth's substantial two-volume work studies the assimilation and eventual destruction of the indigenous Timucuan societies of interior Spanish Florida near St. Augustine, shedding new light on the nature and function of La Florida's entire mission system. Beginning in this volume with analysis of the late prehistoric chiefdoms, Worth traces the effects of European exploration and colonization in the late 1500s and describes the expansion of the mission frontier before 1630. As a framework for understanding the Timucuan rebellion of 1654 and its pacification, he explores the internal political and economic structure of the colonial system. In volume 2, he shows that after the geographic and political restructuring of the Timucua mission province, the interior of Florida became a populated chain of way-stations along the royal road between St. Augustine and the Apalachee province. Finally, he describes rampant demographic collapse in the missions, followed by English-sponsored raids, setting a stage for their final years in Florida during the mid-1700s. The culmination of nearly a decade of original research, these books incorporate many previously unknown or little-used Spanish documentary sources. As an analysis of both the Timucuan chiefdoms and their integration into the colonial system, they offer important discussion of the colonial experience for indigenous groups across the nation and the rest of the Americas.

Book Preview After the Big Bang occurred, and after standard elements precipitated out due to the high pressure and temperature of star-building and explosions of supernovas, an unusual element was created under rare conditions. This Element is so rare that it's only found on a few planets within our entire universe, and one of those planets is planet Earth. ......fast forward billions of years into the future..... Asteroids, billions of years old, come crashing down on the Black Hills of South Dakota and into the eastern prairie. A free Band of Lakota Indians witnesses the most spectacular light show on earth. The light show lasted for hours while the Indian people took cover for their lives. ......fast forward 100+ years...... Soil erosion over the past 100+ years has uncovered many dark-rock outcrops on ranch land as well as on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. The locals accepted these dark-rocks as ordinary landscapes, but one young Lakota Indian man became more curious, and the results he found were literally from out of this world. News of the Super Element brought fortune hunters from all over the country, and they descended on the Black Hills just like the gold rush days of the late 1870s. A modern Wild West begins, but it also has the modern dangers of adversary countries and inquisitive billionaires looking for a profit in the next significant invention. Who owns this Super Element, and who will protect it from being stolen? In a "David vs. Goliath" situation, this small community of ranchers and American Indians from the Reservation stand up to enormous opponents. With help from others in and around the Black Hills, they fight for what is theirs and for the national defense of their country. The book titled "Surviving Asteroid Storm Super Element 126" began billions of years ago when the elements of the universe were created. This new Super Element traveled in a cluster of asteroids for billions of years until some crashed onto planet earth. The story revolves around a strange dark-rock found in a poor rural area in South Dakota. The people of this community are strong, resourceful, and independent. They have survived harsh environmental conditions for all of their lives. Still, even they seek help when an astonishing material, found only in one area of our planet, attracts influential individuals and desperate countries. Help comes from a variety of odd sources, including bikers from the Sturgis Rally and an army of old pickup trucks.

The role of cultural heritage and museums in constructing national identity in postcolonial CubaCuban Cultural Heritage explores the role that cultural heritage and museums played in the construction of a national identity in postcolonial Cuba. Starting with independence from Spain in 1898 and moving through Cuban-American rapprochement in 2014, Pablo Alonso Gonzlez illustrates how political and ideological shifts have influenced ideas about heritage and how, in turn, heritage has been used by different social actors to reiterate their status, spread new ideologies, and consolidate political regimes.Unveiling the connections between heritage, power, and ideology, Alonso Gonzalez delves into the intricacies of Cuban history, covering key issues such as Cubas cultural and political relationships with Spain, the United States, the Soviet Union, and so-called Third World countries; the complexities of Cubas status as a postcolonial state; and the potential future paths of the Revolution in the years to come.

"Clearly the definitive book of Eleanor Roosevelt quotes. Albion does excellent work weeding out all the apocryphal quotes so often attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt, giving us only the real thing."--Christy Regenhardt, associate editor of The Eleanor Roosevelt Papers, Volume 2 "Eleanor Roosevelt remains a compelling and interesting person, and these quotes give her greater voice."--Kenneth Bindas, author of Remembering the Great Depression in the Rural South Born in the late 1800s to one of the wealthiest families in New York City, Eleanor Roosevelt seemed destined for a traditional woman's role within a sedate Victorian life. Instead, she married her fifth cousin and was flung into the highest levels of American politics, culminating in Franklin's unprecedented four-term presidency. While previous first ladies refrained from public discussion of their personal views, Eleanor's bold opinions on political, social, and racial issues took many by surprise. She held press conferences and wrote a syndicated column. She spoke at national conventions, granted interviews, and often made appearances on her husband's behalf. Her own influence lasted years beyond his death. She advocated for human rights, worked with the United Nations, and supported what later became the civil rights movement. The fascinating quotes in this collection are the words of an articulate, honest, and thoughtful woman. Of war, she said, "I hope the day will come when all that inventing and mechanical genius will be used for other purposes." At a time when racism prevailed, Eleanor said, "We must be proud of every one of our citizens, for regardless of nationality, or race, every one contributes to the welfare and culture of the nation." Organized by topic--government, money, art, education, class, relationships, emotions--these quotations reveal the personal thoughts Roosevelt shared in letters and conversations alongside the strong opinions she expressed in speeches and interviews, giving evidence to her character and her beliefs. Her words continue to resonate today.

Radical subcultures in an unlikely placeTold in personal interviews, this is the collective story of a punk community in an unlikely town and region, a hub of radical counterculture that drew artists and musicians from throughout the conservative South and earned national renown. The house at 309 6th Avenue has long been a crossroads for punk rock, activism, veganism, and queer culture in Pensacola, a quiet Gulf Coast city at the border of Florida and Alabama. In this book, residents of 309 narrate the colorful and often comical details of communal life in the crowded and dilapidated house over its 30-year existence. Terry Johnson, Ryan "e;Rymodee"e; Modee, Gloria Diaz, Skott Cowgill, and others tell of playing in bands including This Bike Is a Pipe Bomb, operating local businesses such as End of the Line Cafe, forming feminist support groups, and creating zines and art. Each voice adds to the picture of a lively community that worked together to provide for their own needs while making a positive, lasting impact on their surrounding area. Together, these participants show that punk is more than music and teenage rebellion. It is about alternatives to standard narratives of living, acceptance for the marginalized in a rapidly changing world, and building a sense of family from the ground up. Including photos by Cynthia Connolly and Mike Brodie, A Punkhouse in the Deep South illuminates many individual lives and creative endeavors that found a home and thrived in one of the oldest continuously inhabited punkhouses in the United States.
