The Horseman's Word by Timothy Neat Pdf

This work is the last volume of Timothy Neat's quintet of books on Highland Life in the 20th century; appropriately it moves beyond the Highlands to embrace the whole of Scotland. It presents, in words and pictures, a group of 12 Scottish horsemen, blacksmiths and rural workers from Ross-shire, Inverness-shire, Argyll, Perthshire, Fife and the Scottish Borders. These are men whose lives have helped shape a nation. Control of fire, metals and horses have been of fundamental importance to the historical development of Western civilization and horsemen, and metalworkers have played a large part in the making of modern Scotland. Their skills have, recurrently, transformed agricultural practices, industrial development and military history: their discipline, hard work, energy and values have had great influence on the character of Scots rural society and culture. It is no accident that in mythological tradition the smith, the medicine man and the artist were, usually, one and the same man.

By Sword and Plow by Jennifer E. Sessions Pdf

In 1830, with France's colonial empire in ruins, Charles X ordered his army to invade Ottoman Algiers. Victory did not salvage his regime from revolution, but it began the French conquest of Algeria, which was continued and consolidated by the succeeding July Monarchy. In By Sword and Plow, Jennifer E. Sessions explains why France chose first to conquer Algeria and then to transform it into its only large-scale settler colony. Deftly reconstructing the political culture of mid-nineteenth-century France, she also sheds light on policies whose long-term consequences remain a source of social, cultural, and political tensions in France and its former colony. In Sessions's view, French expansion in North Africa was rooted in contests over sovereignty and male citizenship in the wake of the Atlantic revolutions of the eighteenth century. The French monarchy embraced warfare as a means to legitimize new forms of rule, incorporating the Algerian army into royal iconography and public festivals. Colorful broadsides, songs, and plays depicted the men of the Armée d'Afrique as citizen soldiers. Social reformers and colonial theorists formulated plans to settle Algeria with European emigrants. The propaganda used to recruit settlers featured imagery celebrating Algeria's agricultural potential, but the male emigrants who responded were primarily poor, urban laborers who saw the colony as a place to exercise what they saw as their right to work. Generously illustrated with examples of this imperialist iconography, Sessions's work connects a wide-ranging culture of empire to specific policies of colonization during a pivotal period in the genesis of modern France.
