<p><strong>A groundbreaking and deeply personal exploration of Tribal enrollment, and what it means to be Native American in the United States</strong></p> <p><strong>“Candid, unflinching . . . Her thorough excavation of the painful history that gave rise to rigid enrollment policies is a courageous gift to our understanding of contemporary Native life.” ーThe Whiting Foundation Jury</strong></p> <p><strong>Who is Indian enough?</strong></p> <p>To be Native American is to live in a world of contradictions. At the same time that the number of people in the US who claim Native identity has explodedーincreasing 85 percent in just ten yearsーthe number of people formally enrolled in Tribes has not. While the federal government recognizes Tribal sovereignty, being a member of a Tribe requires navigating blood quantum laws and rolls that the federal government created with the intention of wiping out Native people altogether. Over two million Native people are tribally enrolled, yet there are Native people who will never be. Native people who, for a variety of reasons ranging from displacement to disconnection, cannot be card-carrying members of their Tribe.</p> <p>In <em>The Indian Card</em>, Carrie Lowry Schuettpelz grapples with these contradictions. Through in-depth interviews, she shares the stories of people caught in the mire of identity-formation, trying to define themselves outside of bureaucratic processes. With archival research, she pieces together the history of blood quantum and tribal rolls and federal government intrusion on Native identity-making. Reckoning with her own identityーthe story of her enrollment and the enrollment of her childrenーshe investigates the cultural, racial, and political dynamics of today’s Tribal identity policing. With this intimate perspective of the ongoing fight for Native sovereignty, <em>The Indian Card</em> sheds light on what it looks like to find a deeper sense of belonging.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。 ※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

He claims their journey to Manhurst Castle in the Scottish Borders is simply to appraise and acquire illuminated manuscripts for their rare bookshop, however when Ruby discovers there are no manuscripts and receives news of a s?ance to be held that very night, she begins to grow suspicious about the true reason why they have come.</p> <p>The Great War left grieving families willing to sacrifice anything for the chance to say goodbye to a lost loved one. Mr. Owen is no exception. He is desperate to speak to his son, but he doesn’t want to face the spirits alone. When the s?anceーhosted by a trio of mediums billing themselves as The Three Fatesーgoes awry, Mr. Owen’s secrets begin to unravel, threatening to reveal a history that he has been running from for half his life.

<p><strong>An NBC <em>Dateline</em> producer's cinematic account of his two-decade journey navigating the broken criminal justice system to help free six innocent men</strong></p> <p>In 2002, Dan Slepian, a veteran producer for NBC’s <em>Dateline</em>, received a tip from a Bronx homicide detective that two men were serving twenty-five years to life in prison for a 1990 murder they did not commit.</p> <p>Haunted by what the detective had told him, Slepian began an investigation of the case that eventually resulted in freedom for the two men and launched Slepian on a two-decade personal and professional journey into a deeply flawed justice system fiercely resistant to rectifyingーor even acknowledgingーits mistakes and their consequences.</p> <p><em>The Sing Sing Files: One Journalist, Six Innocent Men, and a Twenty-Year</em> <em>Fight for Justice</em> is Slepian’s account of challenging that system. The story follows Slepian on years of prison visits, court hearings, and street reporting that led to a series of powerful Dateline episodes and eventually to freedom for four other men and to an especially deep and lasting friendship with one of them, Jon-Adrian “JJ” Velazquez. From his cell in Sing Sing, JJ aided Slepian in his investigations until his own release in 2021 after decades in prison.</p> <p>Like Bryan Stevenson’s <em>Just Mercy</em>, <em>The Sing Sing Files</em> is a deeply personal account of wrongful imprisonment and the flaws in our justice system, and a powerful argument for reckoning and accountability. Slepian’s extraordinary book, at once painful and full of hope, shines a light on an injustice whose impact the nation has only begun to confront.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。 ※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Osira, a forty-five-year-old widow, is an obedient follower of the strict conventions of Curdle Creek, an all-Black town in rural America stuck in the past and governed by a tradition of ominous rituals.

<p><strong>The true confessions of a working opera composer: an exhilarating story of "a life that comes out of chaos."</strong></p> <p>At eight years old, Ricky Ian Gordon pulled <em>The Victor Book of Opera</em> off his piano teacher’s bookshelf, and his world shifted on its axis. Though scandal, sadness, and confusion would shake that world over the next few decades, its polestar remained constant. Music has been the guiding force of Gordon’s life; through it, he has been able not only to survive great sorrow but also to capture the depths of his emotion in song. It is this strength, this technical and visceral genius, that has made him one of our generation’s greatest composers.</p> <p>In <em>Seeing Through</em>, Gordon writes with humor, insight, and incredible candor about his life and work: a tumultuous youth on Long Island, his artistic collaborations and obsessions, the creation of his compositions (including <em>The Grapes of Wrath</em>, <em>27</em>, <em>Orpheus and Euridice</em>, <em>Intimate Apparel</em>, <em>Ellen West</em>, and more), his addictions and the abuses he endured, and the loss of his partner to AIDS and the devastation of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. As Gordon writes of that period: “We were, thousands of us, Lazarus. We had to rise from the ashes. We didn’t have to rebuild our lives, we had to build new ones.”</p> <p>Gordon has succeeded in building a remarkable life, as well as a body of work that bears witness to all he survived in the processーone that will endure as a pivotal chapter in America's songbook.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。 ※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Hereford cathedral stands sentinel over the city, keeping its secrets, holding long forgotten souls in its stony embrace. Hecate Cavendish speeds through the cobbled streets on her bicycle, skirts hitched daringly high, heading for her new life as Assistant Librarian. But this is no ordinary collection of books. The cathedral houses an ancient chained library, wisdom guarded for centuries, mysteries and stories locked onto its worn, humble shelves. The most prized artifact, however, is the medieval world map which hangs next to Hecate’s desk. Little does she know how much the curious people and mythical creatures depicted on it will come to mean to her. Nor does she suspect that there are lost souls waiting for her in the haunted cathedral. Some will become her dearest friends. Some will seek her help in finding peace. Others will put her in great peril, and, as she quickly learns, threaten the lives of everyone she loves.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。 ※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

She’s sharp in more ways than one, adrift in her own smug malaise, until her new job moderating the comments section of an online news outletーa role even more mind-numbing than it soundsーintroduces her to Arthur, a middle-aged journalist. Though she's preferred women to men for years now, she soon finds herself falling into an all-consuming affair with him. She is coming apart with want and loving every second of it! Well, except for the tiny hiccup that Arthur has a wifeーand that she has no idea Hera exists.</p> <p>With its daringly specific and intimate voice, <em>Green Dot</em> is a darkly hilarious and deeply felt examination of the joys and indignities of coming into adulthood against the pitfalls of the twenty-first century and the winding, tortuous, and often very funny journey we take in deciding who we are and who we want to be.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。 ※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Now Albia must risk everything, including the life she has carefully built, if she is finally to bring Florius to justice.
