The area along the Lawa River, the border river between Surinam and French Guiana, is presently inhabited by about 2,000 Maroons who call themselves Aluku or Boni. They are the descendants of Surinamese slaves who escaped from plantations during the period of slavery. After protracted fighting on Surinamese territory, they finally fled to French Guiana. This is a fascinating account of the genesis of the Boni- Maroons and their continuous warfare against the white planters and their colonial armies. The works that have been published on the Boni-Maroons, for instance Joh

When it was first published in 1957, Noam Chomsky’s Syntactic Structure seemed to be just a logical expansion of the reigning approach to linguistics. Soon, however, there was talk from Chomsky and his associates about plumbing mental structure; then there was a new phonology; and then there was a new set of goals for the field, cutting it off completely from its anthropological roots and hitching it to a new brand of psychology. Rapidly, all of Chomsky’s ideas swept the field. While the entrenched linguists were not looking for a messiah, apparently many of their students were. Th

Some stupid chimp at your company has attached a series name, "Meme Wars" to the title on the web page. I don’t use that series name and it’s extremely misleading because it makes this sound like an action-adventure type sf novel when in fact it’s more like "Little House on Mars." I do not understand why every few months you send your crew of monkeys crawling through the backlist titles to revise things that were right in the first place, but you’ve been doing that for at least ten years. You also make it extremely difficult for anyone to correct things once your mon

Challenging received American history and forging a new path for Native American studies Addressing Native American Studies’ past, present, and future, the essays in New Indians, Old Wars tackle the discipline head-on, presenting a radical revision of the popular view of the American West in the process. Instead of luxuriating in its past glories or accepting the widespread historians’ view of the West as a shared place, Elizabeth Cook-Lynn argues that it should be fundamentally understood as stolen. Firmly grounded in the reality of a painful past, Cook-Lynn understands the st

So Ben, Gwen, and Kevin take to space to try to stop the war. Unfortunately, neither side is willing to listen to reason. So Ben and his friends race to trick the two leaders into talking together before one of the sides deploys a weapon that can’t be stopped.
