“We need to understand our stories because our lives depend upon it.” —Ted Chamberlin The stories we tell each other reflect and shape our deepest feelings. Stories help us live our lives—and are at the heart of our current conflicts. We love and hate because of them; we make homes for ourselves and drive others out on the basis of ancient tales. As Ted Chamberlin vividly reveals, we are both connected by them and separated by their different truths. Whether Jew or Arab, black or white, Muslim or Christian, Catholic or Protestant, man or woman, our stories hold us in thrall and hold others at bay. Like the work of Joseph Campbell and Bruce Chatwin, this vital, engrossing book offers a new way to understand the hold that stories and songs have on us, and a new sense of the urgency of doing so. Drawing on his own experience in many fields—as scholar and storyteller, witness among native peoples and across cultures—Ted Chamberlin takes us on a journey through the tales of different peoples, from North America to Africa and Jamaica. Beautifully written, with insight and deep understanding, If This Is Your Land, Where Are Your Stories? examines why it is now more important than ever to attend to what others are saying in their stories and myths—and what we are saying about ourselves. Only then will we understand why they have such power over us.

This book has been traveling 25 years to get here ... and now it's here. And you have to say call it - is this the book that will win your heart? There are many stories in this book. It's vivid anthology of American fiction. These stories were gathered from a sharp eye, and ears cupped into the conservations of strangers. The things they said which stuck inside, only writing what really mattered in good storytelling. The Old Lady bestows the virtues of volunteerism on the readership, where the lead character devotes thirty-eight years into caring for war veterans at the Soldiers Home.The perpetual love between father and daughter, is told on the blue bed of the lake in the fishing story of May Rain. The crowning jewels of thematic patterning overshadowed the need for dialogue in Texas Hardpan, and the supernatural gift of Sanctifying Grace is bestowed on those crying hard on the sun cracked soil of Hillcrest Cemetery. Nick slashes up the lake ice with his much loved CCM hockey skates in Old Man Winter, and the desolation of wilderness heals the young man from the death of his girlfriend. Practicing Law is a parable told in Ireland, where a RUC constable by the name of Molly McGrath gets killed on the Foyle Bridge crossing by an IRA ambush, and some blood ends up across the ocean on the Queen's hands. Inside the smoke filled train station of When the Subject Matter Caught Up With Everything, and band of English majors from Princeton and Columbia recite the evolution of language when focus became fixed on the root syllables of Teutonic - syllables deprived of accents were weakened in pronunciation over time by slurring of sound together, and eventually the vowels and constant sounds became erased from frequency response; these inflected forms of words were allowed to flourish with new pronunciation, from the victories of marauding wars. Three oil men from Texas in the smoke filed train station, are virtually stunned at the brilliance of the college students. First Steps is a child's story, with the plot submerged towards mercy for the weak and defenseless. Pencil Box is spun in the heart of Central Park, where the readers can sit on the iconic green park bench inscribed - For All The Dreamers. Perhaps the most rousing tale in this book is Dolly Dagger, the suffering of Vietnam veteran Merle Long both from the fateful morning his Marine company got overrun by the 324th NVA Regiment, and the jeering Merle endured from our country on his crestfallen home coming ... missing parts of his body. This story is hailed for its authenticity from those who fought in the jungles of Vietnam, and will endure a staple of short war stories. These stories span our world. I hope you like some. The signature of storytelling is breathing characterization with unusual subject matter, and protagonists who bear very deep scars, both seen and unseen from the whipping posts of life. - author Stephen Deck

In the context of Northrop Frye's theories of myth, and in light of the attempts of social critics and early anthologists to define Canada and Canadian literature, McKenzie discusses the ways in which our decidedly fractured sense of literary nationalism has set indigenous culture apart from the mainstream.

Exploring the relationship between the role of education and Indigenous survival, Digital Storytelling in Indigenous Education is an ethnographic exploration of how digital storytelling can be part of a broader project of decolonization of individuals, their families, and communities. By recounting how a remote Indigenous (Métis) community were able to collectively imagine, plan and produce numerous unique digital stories representing counter-narratives to the dominant version of Canadian history, Poitras Pratt provides frameworks, approaches and strategies for the use of digital media and arts for the purpose of cultural memory, community empowerment, and mobilization. The volume provides a valuable example of how a community-based educational project can create and restore intergenerational exchanges through modern media, and covers topics such as: Introducing the Métis and their community; decolonizing education through a Métis approach to research; the ethnographic journey; and translating the work of decolonizing to education. Digital Storytelling in Indigenous Education is the perfect resource for researchers, academics, and postgraduate students in the fields of Indigenous education, comparative education, and technology education, or those looking to explore the role of modern media in facilitating healing and decolonization in a marginalized community. .

This important book on Land Education offers critical analysis of the paths forward for education on Indigenous land. This analysis discusses the necessity of centring historical and current contexts of colonization in education on and in relation to land. In addition, contributors explore the intersections of environmentalism and Indigenous rights, in part inspired by the realisation that the specifics of geography and community matter for how environmental education can be engaged. This edited volume suggests how place-based pedagogies can respond to issues of colonialism and Indigenous sovereignty. Through dynamic new empirical and conceptual studies, international contributors examine settler colonialism, Indigenous cosmologies, Indigenous land rights, and language as key aspects of Land Education. The book invites readers to rethink 'pedagogies of place' from various Indigenous, postcolonial, and decolonizing perspectives. This book was originally published as a special issue of Environmental Education Research.

“Nature, thou art my goddess”—Edmund’s bold assertion in King Lear could easily inspire and, at the same time, function as a lamentation of the inadequate respect of nature in culture. In this volume, international experts provide multidisciplinary exploration of the insubordinate representations of nature in modern and contemporary literature and art. The work foregrounds the need to reassess how nature is already, and has been for a while, striking back against human domination. From the perspective of literary studies, art, history, media studies, ethics and philosophy, and ethnology and anthropology, Avenging Nature highlights the need of assessing insurgent discourses that—converging with counter-discourses of race, gender or class—realize the empowerment of nature from its subaltern position. Acknowledging the argument that cultural representations of nature establish a relationship of domination and exploitation of human discourse over nonhuman reality and that, in consequence, our regard for nature as humanist critics is instrumental and anthropocentric, the present volume advocates for the view that the time has come to finally perceive nature’s vengeance and to critically probe into nature’s ongoing revenge against the exploitation of culture.

Remembering Mass Violence breaks new ground in oral history, new media, and performance studies by exploring what is at stake when we attempt to represent war, genocide, and other violations of human rights in a variety of creative works. A model of community-university collaboration, it includes contributions from scholars in a wide range of disciplines, survivors of mass violence, and performers and artists who have created works based on these events. This anthology is global in focus, with essays on Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and North America. At its core is a productive tension between public and private memory, a dialogue between autobiography and biography, and between individual experience and societal transformation. Remembering Mass Violence will appeal to oral historians, digital practitioners and performance-based artists around the world, as well researchers and activists involved in human rights research, migration studies, and genocide studies.
