An analysis of indigenous rights and the challenges confronting indigenous peoples in the twenty-first century
Your organization is unremarkable, therefore no one remarks about you. You keep piling on mediocre features in the hopes one of them will get you across the tipping point. Your board is discussing relevance, which is a word dangerously close to irrelevance. What follows is a conversation about changing everything and a decision to change nothing. There you are, lost somewhere between high convenience and high fidelity, just like the post office. Eighty percent of your members don't show up for anything, yet you still tout participation as the best way to get value from membership. Members will get value when you provide it without requiring their attendance. You tell businesses that your organization is valuable, yet you don't put a value on it. You give away much and charge little. Will you continue to reward your most time-consuming members (the ones you should have fired) with the lowest membership rates? You're losing the advantage of proximity. Your members who work next door to each other would rather send an email than meet up for coffee. How will your local association be safe from borderless alternatives? The tools you need to look as smart as you are have never been more affordable, but your board still says "maybe next year" when it comes to that member-management software investment-the one you've already been putting off for far too long. Something has gone awry in the world of membership organizations when your members are starting to detach from your association and start their own thing. If you can't imagine your organization without its sacred cow parade, pageant, or pancake feed, this book is not for you. If you are not an employee, board member, or high-level volunteer of a chamber of commerce or business-focused association, this book is not for you. Many of today's membership organizations are living on yesterday's bread while their members drink tomorrow's wine. If your members are putting up with it now, they won't for long. This book is about renewing your membership-development strategies because your memberships may be worth less than you think.
"Cultural Survival is an organization founded in 1972 to defend human rights of Indigenous peoples, who, like the Indians of the Americas, have been dominated and marginalized by peoples different from themselves. Since the states that claim jurisdiction over Indigenous peoples consider them aliens and inferiors, they are among the world's most underprivileged minorities, facing a constant threat of physical extermination and cultural annihilation. This is no small matter, for Indigenous peoples make up approximately five percent of the world's population. Most of them wish to become successful ethnic minorities, meaning that they be permitted to maintain their own traditions even though they are out of the mainstream in the countries where they live. Indigenous peoples hope, therefore, for multiethnic states that will tolerate diversity in their midst. In this their cause is the cause of ethnic minorities worldwide and is one of the major issues of our times, for the vast majority of states in the world are multiethnic. The question is whether states are able to recognize and live peaceably with ethnic differences, or whether they will treat them as an endless source of conflict."-- Foreword.
Mnemes Place is Ralph Jonas internal refuge from his anxieties and the pressures of everyday life, a timeless place where he relives his memories and drinks with friends and colleagues, with authors and their characters, with scientists, criminals, psychologists, sociologists, ballet dancers, musicians, artists, and on and on, multitudes of people he has known, or not known, but read and read about. Jonas two big passions are the English language, as spoken by the Irish, and baseball. He is at his most comfortable with the tens of thousands of ballplayers at Mnemes, and often spends time assembling two All-Star teams, one Jewish and one Polish, himself the manager of both. Having fled Hollywood for Europe to regain his sanity after years of writing for TV, Jonas attempts to write a novel about his former writing partners, his own dysfunctional familymother, father, sisterand the Isaacsons, his mothers family, the likes of whom have never been written in American immigrant literature. While it proves impossible for Jonas to put these people down on paper, Wolfe has created a fascinating and unforgettable lineup of characters.

In this fascinating book, Mark Stein examines black British literature, centering on a body of work created by British-based writers with African, South Asian, or Caribbean cultural backgrounds. Linking black British literature to the bildungsroman genre, this study examines the transformative potential inscribed in and induced by a heterogeneous body of texts. Capitalizing on their plural cultural attachments, these texts portray and purvey the transformation of post-imperial Britain. Stein locates his wide-ranging analysis in both a historical and a literary context. He argues that a cross-cultural and interdisciplinary approach is essential to understanding post-colonial culture and society. The book relates black British literature to ongoing debates about cultural diversity, and thereby offers a way of reading a highly popular but as yet relatively uncharted field of cultural production. With the collapse of its empire, with large-scale immigration from former colonies, and with ever-increasing cultural diversity, Britain underwent a fundamental makeover in the second half of the twentieth century. This volume cogently argues that black British literature is not only a commentator on and a reflector of this makeover, but that it is simultaneously an agent that is integral to the processes of cultural and social change. Conceptualizing the novel of transformation, this comprehensive study of British black literature provides a compelling analytic framework for charting these processes.
