I loved this book! It was a little hard to get into it at first, a lot of the words were foreign to me. But once I did I was spellbound and couldn't put it down. I love historical novels, they put me into a world in which I am not familiar with. I learned a lot about the secret lives of Geishas, and Japanese culture.

This is a far more complex and subtle book than I gave it credit for when I began to read. Fifty Miles from Tomorrow starts out as an almost run-of-the-mill memoir (albeit about growing up Iñupiat in Alaska), yet ultimately it becomes a multi-layered examination of cultural protection and change. Hensley grew up practicing the subsistence patterns that had existed among his people, the Iñupiat, for thousands of years, but ultimately left Alaska to go to high school in Tennessee, to attend college in Washington, D.C., and to lobby for the rights of Native Alaskans to control the land they had never ceded to the federal government. As a state representative, lobbyist, and legislator among the Inuit's own four-nation federation, Hensley became adept at working the system, at recognizing the webs of Western political power and using them to protect Native land. Ultimately, however, he turned his attention to protecting Iñupiat language, culture, and spiritual practice, believing that land meant little if there was no culture to flourish upon it. ( In one of the deftest moments of the book, his spelling of all his relatives' names shifts from English-Iñupiat to Iñupiat alone, just as he articulates his hope to see his culture revived. It's a beautiful touch.) This would be a wonderful book to team with Vine Deloria's The Trail of Broken Treaties, or other memoirs / prescriptions for Native survival to come out of the 1960s. Hensley's path is different, yet fueled by many of the same desires articulated by Native activists in the lower 48. It's incredible to consider the way in which BIA boarding schools not only denied students knowledge of their *own* culture, but of a wider Native experience at the hands of the federal government - denying, in concrete terms, Hensley and his fellow generation of Native Alaskans an understanding that they were not the first to fight the battles they faced, nor alone in refusing to let their culture die. A great book.

Quà Tặng Tinh Thần Dành Cho Cuộc Sống Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Read this years ago and listening now on audio. Starts out with a bang. Powerful take on white/western privilege in first couple of pages! "Let me claim that Africa and I kept company for a while and then parted ways, as if we were both party to relations with a failed outcome. Or say I was afflicted with Africa like a bout of a rare disease, from which I have not managed a full recovery. Maybe I’ll even confess the truth, that I rode in with the horsemen and beheld the apocalypse, but still I’ll insist I was only a captive witness. What is the conqueror’s wife, if not a conquest herself? For that matter, what is he? When he rides in to vanquish the untouched tribes, don’t you think they fall down with desire before those sky-colored eyes? And itch for a turn with those horses, and those guns? That’s what we yell back at history, always, always. It wasn’t just me; there were crimes strewn six ways to Sunday, and I had my own mouths to feed. I didn’t know. I had no life of my own. And you’ll say I did. You’ll say I walked across Africa with my wrists unshackled, and now I am one more soul walking free in a white skin, wearing some thread of the stolen goods: cotton or diamonds, freedom at the very least, prosperity. Some of us know how we came by our fortune, and some of us don’t, but we wear it all the same. There’s only one question worth asking now: How do we aim to live with it? I know how people are, with their habits of mind. Most will sail through from cradle to grave with a conscience clean as snow. It’s easy to point at other men, conveniently dead, starting with the ones who first scooped up mud from riverbanks to catch the scent of a source. Why, Dr. Livingstone, I presume, wasn’t he the rascal! He and all the profiteers who’ve since walked out on Africa as a husband quits a wife, leaving her with her naked body curled around the emptied-out mine of her womb. I know people. Most have no earthly notion of the price of a snow-white conscience."

I was excited to get this ARC from netgalley as the description sounded like a number of my favorite tropes rolled into a fun, ultra-sexy story: Candace's friends book her on a singles cruise without telling her that it's an ultra hedonistic cruise. Ryan is 1/2 owner of said cruise ship, who has been bored of the floating pleasure boat for quite some time, and he spots Candace, realizes that she's different, but decides to pose as a fellow passenger because he wants to get to know her without her knowing that he's loaded. If you love stories like this from the Harlequin Blaze line but wouldn't mind if the heat got cranked all the way to *truly* blazing, this is the story for you. Lee has a super fun voice reminiscent of Christina Skye, Vicki Lewis Thompson, and Katie McCallister, and she put a lot of humor into this tale. At 174 pages, it's a quick read, perfect for a single evening of light and sexy reading. Because the book takes place on a hedonistic cruise, every scene revolves around sex--and this is often cute, but I wouldn't mind a *bit* more variety--even in super sexy story like this, I like a little substance to the plot. However, this setting just didn't lend itself to that, and that's okay--Lee has a great voice and makes it work. I'm planning to search out her backlist and see what other settings and plots she has. Note: This is an ultra-sexy story intended for mature audiences--if this is not your cup of tea, you might want to look elsewhere or try one of the authors I mention above.

Mysterious Magical Circus Family Kids: The Chocolate Cake Turkey Lip Crumb Trail Mystery Adventure by R. Hawk Starkey is the first in a promised series of children's books about a family of circus performers who have as many adventures in between gigs as they do during their performances. If Roald Dahl had grown up in California and moved to Oregon, this is the sort of book he'd write. Except that this one is funnier and less crude. The book is told from the points of view of the children who like the characters in Geek Love all have some sort of magical power and a nickname that is inspired by their abilities. There's 3D who can make figments appear, Goodnight Irene who can breath fire and do sonic screams, Bobby Sock who can make things appear and disappear, Sweet Lips who talks in rhymes and is good at tongue twisters, and Little Big who can calm any animal and has a pet elephant. The goal of the book is to get from the last gig in California across the border to their first gig in Oregon. What the kids don't expect is to have their grandfather (Hawk) take them on a trail that appears to both enchanted and populated by magical creatures. Starkey manages to capture the voice for each child so that it's easy to tell who is telling the story. He writes with humor but manages to make things suspenseful and sometimes scary. Each chapter is only a few pages long and the book itself is well within the normal length of a children's chapter book. It would make good nighttime reading for a parent and child; I plan to read it to my two later in the year. Included with the chapters are delightful line illustrations of the children and their misadventures. The artist who did the portraits had his own children pose for the drawings and that added bit of realism brings the story to life. I have to admit that I was sad when the book ended. The next in the series will be The Vanilla Cake Twiddle Britches Crumb Trail Mystery Adventure.
