This book reinstates culture and history into nature. ... Read more

A walk through a compelling landscape
Professor Ranger's latest work was one I could not put down. He tells a story which binds you to the place and the people who live there. The individuals and peoples -- of several tribes, African and European -- whichpopulate his book have a vital attachment to their granite hills,and it'sfascinating to see that attachment bring them together and divide them.Ranger shows us how complex the reality of inter-ethnic relations are; wesee different attitudes toward nature and history be shared or not sharedacross ethnic and racial boundaries. Cecil Rhodes lives on through thisbook,and surprisingly,as much more complex than simply a greedyimperialist;after reading this book I can understand better why there's ahuge Zimbabwean defense of keeping his body at World's End in the Matopos. This book is a detailed living escape from political history and athought-provoking study of history and philosophy of nature. ... Read more

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Tomás Milián (pseudonyme de Tomás Quintín Rodríguez) est un acteur et scénariste américain né le 3 mars 1932 à La Havane (Cuba). Milián est surtout connu, en Italie, comme étant un des protagonistes des films poliziotteschi des années 70/80. En Italie, doublé par la voix reconnaissable entre mille de Ferruccio Amendola, Milián est souvent identifié dans le rôle de Nico Giraldi, un policier romain aux méthodes peu courtoises, mais efficaces; et également dans le rôle de Vincenzo "Er Monnezza" Marazzi, (en dialecte romanesco, "Er Monnezza" signifie "L'Ordure") un petit voleur des quartiers ouvriers de Rome, parlant avec un fort accent romain. Issu de la grande bourgeoisie cubaine, le jeune Tomas Rodriguez qui s'identifie à James Dean quitte Cuba pour les États-Unis trois ans avant la révolution castriste. Après une année à l'université de Miami pour parfaire son anglais, le séduisant jeune homme passe six mois dans la marine puis passe le concours d'entrée de l'Actor's Studio devant Elia Kazan, Lee Strasberg et Paul Newman : sur 3000 candidats, il est un des deux reçus ! En 1958, il débute sur scène dans le rôle principal d'une pièce de Meade Roberts écrite pour lui, Maidens and Mistresses at Home at the Zoo. Son succès lui permet de participer à une émission de télévision. Il rencontre à cette occasion le compositeur italien Giancarlo Menotti, maître d'oeuvre du prestigieux festival de Spolète. Celui-ci lui offre de s'y produire en vedette dans la pantomime de Jean Cocteau Le P...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Product Description
The Matopos Hills of Zimbabwe have been occupied by humanity for some 40,000 years. They are the home for a number of shrines, and have become a scene of symbolic, ideological, political and armed conflict between the Shona, Ndebele and Europeans for more than 100 years. Many questions in Matopos history are crucial to the history of Matabeleland as a whole, and some central to the history of Zimbabwe: the right relationship of men and women to the land; the nature of culture; the dynamics of ethnicity; the roots of dissidence and violence; and the historical bases of underdevelopment.BR> North America: Indiana U Press; Zimbabwe: Baobab ...

Product Description

Challuabamba (chī-wa-bamba)--now a developing suburb of Cuenca, the principal city in the southern highlands of Ecuador--has been known for a century as an ancient site that produced exceptionally fine pottery in great quantities. Suspecting that Challuabamban ceramics might provide a link between earlier, preceramic culture and later, highly developed Formative period art, Terence Grieder led an archaeological investigation of the site between 1995 and 2001. In this book, he and the team of art historians and archaeologists who excavated at Challuabamba present their findings, which establish the community's importance as a center in a network of trade and artistic influence that extended to the Amazon River basin and the Pacific Coast.

Art and Archaeology of Challuabamba, Ecuador presents an extensive analysis of ceramics dating to 2100-1100 BC, along with descriptions of stamps and seals, stone and shell artifacts, burials and their offerings, human remains, and zooarchaeology. Grieder and his coauthors demonstrate that the pottery of Challuabamba fills a gap between early and late Formative styles and also has a definite connection with later highland styles in Peru. They draw on all the material remains to reconstruct the first clear picture of Challuabamba's prehistory, including agriculture and health, interregional contacts and exchange, red-banded incised ware and ceramic production, and shamanism and cosmology.

Because southern Ecuador has received relatively little archaeological study, Art and Archaeology of Challuabamba, Ecuador offers important baseline data for what promises to be a key sector of the prehistoric Andean region.
