" This is a compellingly nuanced and sophisticated study of Indian peoples as negotiators and shapers of the modern world."—Richard White, author of The Middle Ground: Indians, Empires, and Republics in the Great Lakes Region, 1650-1815
At the age of forty-five, Deborah Tobola returns to her birthplace, San Luis Obispo, to work in the very prison her father worked in when he was a student at Cal Poly. But she’s not wearing a uniform as he did; she’s there to teach creative writing and manage the prison’s arts program—a dream job. As she creates a theatre program for prisoners, Tobola finds plenty of drama off the stage as well. Inside the razor wire she finds a world frozen in the ’50s, with no contact with the outside except by telephone; officers who think prisoners don’t deserve programs; bureaucrats who want to cut arts funding; and inmates who steal, or worse. But she loves engaging prisoners in the arts and helping them discover their voices: men like Opie, the gentleman robber; Razor, the roughneck who subscribes to The New Yorker; charismatic Green Eyes, who really has blue eyes; Doo Wop, a singer known for the desserts he creates from prison fare. Alternating between tales of creating drama in prison and Tobola’s own story, Hummingbird in Underworld takes readers on an unforgettable literary journey—one that is frank, funny, and fascinating.

Occoneechee: The Maid of the Mystic Lake by Robert Frank Jarrett Pdf
This history has been gleaned from the works of Ethnology by James Mooney and from word of mouth, as related to the author during the past thirty years. In the beginning of historical events, we hear of man in his paradisaical home, located somewhere within the boundaries known as ancient Egypt or Chaldea. His home was far away and his former history shrouded in the darkness of countless centuries of the past, and when we contemplate the remoteness of his ancestry, we become lost in the midst of our own research. When historical light began to flash from the Orient, we find man emerging with some degree of civilization from a barbaric state into the advanced degrees of civilized and enlightened tribes. When the maritime navigator, full of visions and dreams, dared to sail for those hitherto undiscovered shores, now known as America, there lived within the realm a wandering, happy, yet untutored, race of men whom we afterwards called Indians, who dwelt in great numbers along the whole distance from Penobscot Bay south to the everglades of Florida.

The Knight of the Blue Boots by Rosalía de Castro Pdf
"The Knight of the Blue Boots (strange tale)," the best-considered novel by Rosalía de Castro, belongs to realism now, although it is a work full of magic and fantasy, very much in the style of Hoffmann. The story tells of the vicissitudes of a knight who calls himself Duke of Glory and appears unexpectedly in different parts of Madrid, leaving everyone open-mouthed with his strange appearance. He wears blue boots, a white bow shaped like a hawk and a wand with a bell. His captivating personality and attractiveness open the doors to palaces and Madrid gatherings, but above all to the wills of the ladies. The Duke, curiously, does not seem interested in these conquests but in carrying out the strange task of bringing to light the disastrous state of literature, criticism and publishing, no less degenerate than the pampered readers, almost exclusively interested in pseudo-historical novels and romantic serials. Having completed his task of public denunciation and ridicule, the Duke of Glory evaporates as mysteriously as he had appeared. His presence has broken the schemes of the Madrid bourgeoisie, who consider him a madman, although a madman genius. The Duke of Glory is the symbol of literary innovation."
Winner of the Society for Economic Botany's Klinger Book Award, this is the first complete ethnobotany of the Gila River Pima, presented from the perspective of the Pimas themselves.

Two Evenings in Saramaka by Richard Price,Sally Price Pdf
Set in the more general context of tale telling by the descendants of Africans throughout the Americas and of recent scholarship in performance studies, these Saramaka tales are presented as a dramatic script. With the help of nearly forty photographs, readers become familiar not only with the characters in folktale-land, but also with the men and women who so imaginatively bring them to life. And because music complements narration in Saramaka just as it does elsewhere in Afro-America, more than fifty songs are presented here in musical notation.
