1000 tulosta hakusanalla Grass Timothy
United States Marshal Boone Crowe of Wyoming Territory seems no closer to a hopeful retirement when he stumbles upon the ghastly scene of a massacred family. Saddled with a prisoner he doesn't want, and an orphaned girl who has survived the carnage, he must turn his trail in pursuit of those responsible. A wandering family of cutthroats, drifting up from the south, has laid waste to all in their path. Fueled by whisky and a lust for cruelty, the deadly Mohegan clan scatter like ripples on the water, leaving Boone Crowe too many trails to follow. Forced to enlist the aid of his prisoner-horse-trader and sharpshooter, Tugs Bigelow-they head out to track down the killers. Complicating matters is a young, rash Texas Ranger, on his own killing mission, out to avenge the murder of his father. Peppered with an array of hard-bitten characters, Showdown in the Bear Grass pits the sturdy lawman in a race against time. Carrying justice in his Colt and Henry rifle, the aging marshal, steered by his own rage, sets out to spare the Wyoming range from being washed in more blood.

On November 24, 2016, the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia signed a revised peace accord that marked a political end to over a half-century of war. Feel the Grass Grow traces the far less visible aspects of moving from war to peace: the decades of campesino struggle to defend life, land, and territory prior to the national accord, as well as campesino social leaders' engagement with the challenges of the state's post-accord reconstruction efforts. In the words of the campesino organizers, "peace is not signed, peace is built." Drawing on nearly a decade of extensive ethnographic and participatory research, Angela Jill Lederach advances a theory of "slow peace." Slowing down does not negate the urgency that animates the defense of territory in the context of the interlocking processes of political and environmental violence that persist in post-accord Colombia. Instead, Lederach shows how the campesino call to "slowness" recenters grassroots practices of peace, grounded in multigenerational struggles for territorial liberation. In examining the various layers of meaning embedded within campesino theories of "the times (los tiempos)," this book directs analytic attention to the holistic understanding of peacebuilding found among campesino social leaders. Their experiences of peacebuilding shape an understanding of time as embodied, affective, and emplaced. The call to slow peace gives primacy to the everyday, where relationships are deepened, ancestral memories reclaimed, and ecologies regenerated.
