Aboriginal Convicts

Aboriginal Convicts

When most of us imagine an Australian convict we see an Englishman or an Irish lass transported for stealing a loaf of bread or a scrap of cloth. Contrary to this popular image, however, Australian penal settlements were actually far more ethnically diverse, comprising individuals transported from British colonies throughout the world. As Kristyn Harman shows in Aboriginal Convicts, there were also a surprising number of indigenous convicts transported from different British settlements, including ninety Aboriginal convicts from all over Australia, thirty-four Khoisan from the Cape Colony (South Africa) and six Maori from New Zealand. These men and women were taken prisoner in the context of the frontier wars over their lands, and shipped to penal colonies in Norfolk Island, Cockatoo Island and Van Diemen’s Land. Through painstaking original research this book uncovers their life stories, which have often been overlooked by or erased from the grand narratives of British and Australian colonial history. Their often-tragic stories not only shed light on the experience of native peoples on the frontier, but on the specific experiences of Indigenous defendants within the British legal system and on the incidence of aboriginal deaths in custody in nineteenth century. Importantly, the book shows the Australian penal colonies in their global political context: as places constantly being reshaped by changing forces of the British Empire as well a ready influx of new people, goods and ideas. It finally puts to rest the notion that there were no Aboriginal convicts.

Everyone knows Australia was once a penal colony, but few realize that New Zealand prisoners were sent there. During the mid-nineteenth century at least 110 people were transported from New Zealand to serve time as convict labourers in the penal colony of Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania). Even more were sentenced by colonial judges to the harsh punishment of transportation, but somehow managed to avoid being sent across the Tasman Sea. In examining the remarkable experiences of unremarkable people, this fascinating book provides insights into the lives of people like William Phelps Pickering, a self-made entrepreneur turned criminal; Margaret Reardon, a potential accomplice to murder and convicted perjurer; and Te Kumete, a Maori warrior transported as a rebel. Their stories, and others like them, reveal a complex society overseen by a governing class intent on cleansing the colony of what was considered to be a burgeoning criminal underclass. This lively book also offers insights into penal servitude in Van Diemen's Land as revealed through the lived experiences of the men and sole woman transported from New Zealand. Whether Maori men serving time for political infractions, white-collar criminals, labourers, vagrants or the soldiers sent to fight the empire's wars, each convict's experiences reveal something about the way in which the British Empire sought to discipline, punish and reform those who trespassed against it.

Kristen tro får naturligvis følger for hvordan man lever, men når får den politiske konsekvenser? Mange advarer mot å blande kjernen i det kristne budskapet med et politisk engasjement. Men er det ikke slik at kristendommen er mest sann mot sitt innerste vesen når den blir noe mer enn kun omsorg for enkeltindividers frelse og vender seg ut mot hele Guds skaperverk? Finnes det en genuin kristen måte å gjøre motstand på, som skiller seg fra sekulære alternativ? I Om kristen motstand tar Patrik Hagman utgangspunkt i den tidlige kirkens motstand mot det romerske imperiet for å tegne et bilde av kristen motstand i vår tid. Gjennom konkrete eksempler viser han at kristent disippelskap har en sprengkraft som også er aktuell i møte med store, globale utfordringer som miljøvern og sosial rettferdighet. Patrik Hagman er teolog og forsker ved Åbo Akademi i Finland og underviser i etikk og religionsfilosofi. Han har spesialisert seg på politisk teologi og den tidlige kristne kirken. Hans doktoravhandling The Asceticism of Isaac of Nineveh ble utgitt på Oxford University Press. Om kristen motstand er hans første bok på norsk.

This original book offers a meaningful window into the lived experiences of children from immigrant families, providing a holistic, profound portrait of their literacy practices as situated within social, cultural, and political frames. Drawing on reports from five years of an ongoing longitudinal research project involving students from immigrant families across their elementary school years, each chapter explores a unique set of questions about the students’ experiences and offers a rich data set of observations, interviews, and student-created artifacts. Authors apply different sociocultural, sociomaterial, and sociopolitical frameworks to better understand the dimensions of the children’s experiences. The multitude of approaches applied demonstrates how viewing the same data through distinct lenses is a powerful way to uncover the differences and comparative uses of these theories. Through such varied lenses, it becomes apparent how the complexities of lived experiences inform and improve our understanding of teaching and learning, and how our understanding of multifaceted literacy practices affects students’ social worlds and identities. Children in Immigrant Families Becoming Literate is a much-needed resource for scholars, professors, researchers, and graduate students in language and literacy education, English education, and teacher education.

God hälsa är eftersträvansvärt för alla människor. Sjukdom och ohälsa är inte ”slumpens skördar” utan många av hälsans bestämningsfaktorer är kända. Vi vet genom forskning att till stor del beror människors ohälsa och flertalet kroniska sjukdomar på ohälsosam livsstil, t.ex. rökning, felaktig kost, fysisk inaktivitet och överdrivet alkoholbruk. Man talar idag om välfärds- eller livsstilssjukdomar. Beteenden och vanor är inlärda och kan därför påverkas av egen kraft och ersättas med mer hälsofrämjande beteenden. Det är däremot inte så enkelt som det låter att ändra sin livsstil, som är rotad i strukturella förhållanden som kön, klass, etnicitet, sexualitet och funktionshinder. För att ändra livsstil måste människors kunskap och medvetenhet om sambanden mellan livsstil och hälsa stärkas. Friskfaktorer, som främjar hälsan, är t.ex. att ha ett arbete man trivs med, ekonomisk stabilitet och goda sociala relationer. Deltagande i kulturlivet har också hälsofrämjande effekter, oberoende av tidigare kulturvanor. Syftet med Hälsa och Livsstil – forskning och praktiska tillämpningar är att ge en bakgrund till hur människor själva, i stor utsträckning, kan påverka sin hälsa i positiv riktning genom en hälsofrämjande livsstil. Boken presenterar forskningsbaserad kunskap om sambanden mellan olika aspekter av människors livsstil och deras hälsa, t.ex. kost, fysisk aktivitet och rökning. Boken uppmärksammar också förutsättningar för lek, fysisk aktivitet, delaktighet och medbestämmande för människor med funktionshinder samt hur sociokulturella och samhälleliga faktorer påverkar befolkningens hälsa och livsstil. På detta sätt vill vi fokusera hälsans och livsstilens komplexitet. Målgruppen är alla som är intresserade av hälso- och livsstilsfrågor och kanske främst studenter inom hälsorelaterade ämnen.

From well-loved women's fiction writer Kristyn Kusek Lewis comes a breakout novel about a woman moving to a small community and uncovering the many secrets that hide behind closed doors--perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty and Elin Hilderbrand.Greyhill, Virginia--refuge of old money, old mansions, and old-fashioned ideas about who belongs and who doesn't--just got a few new residents. When Bess Warner arrives in town with her husband Cole and their kids, she thinks she knows what to expect. Sure, moving to Cole's small hometown means she'll have to live across the street from her mother-in-law, and yes, there's going to be a lot to learn as they take over Cole's family's inn-keeping business, but Bess believes it will be the perfect escape from Washington. She needs it to be. After losing her White House job under a cloud of scandal, she hardly knows who she is anymore. But Bess quickly discovers that fitting in is easier said than done. Instead of the simpler life she'd banked on, she finds herself preoccupied by barbed questions from gossipy locals and her own worries over how her twins are acclimating at the town's elite private school. When the opportunity to write an article for the Washington Post's lifestyle supplement falls into Bess's lap, she thinks it might finally be her opportunity to find her footing here...even if the subject of the piece is Greyhill's most notorious resident.Susannah "Cricket" Lane, fruit of the town's deepest-rooted family tree, is a special sort of outsider, having just returned to Greyhill from New York after a decades-long hiatus. The long absence has always been the subject of suspicion, not that the eccentric Susannah cares what anyone thinks; as a matter of fact, she seems bent on antagonizing as many people as possible. But is Susannah being sincere with Bess--or is she using their strangely intense interview sessions for her to further an agenda that includes peeling back the layers of Greyhill's darkest secrets?As Bess discovers unsettling truths about Susannah and Greyhill at large, ones that bring her into the secrets of prior generations, she begins to learn how difficult it is to start over in a town that runs on talk, and that sometimes, the best way to find yourself is to uncover what everyone around you is hiding....

From the beloved author of Half of What You Hear, a perceptive and poignant novel about a woman discovering that her expertise can only get her so far in matters of the heart. Charlotte McGanley knows happiness. Just ask anyone who’s read Perfect Happiness, her bestselling book about how she, a busy mother and professor, used her no-nonsense positive psychology research to brighten her own life. She always pictured her career beginning and ending in the halls of academia, but now she’s become a bit of a self-help guru. No one is more surprised by this than Charlotte herself, who has secretly never been more miserable. Though her husband of many years, Jason, is her partner in all things, she finds more gratification most evenings in a glass (or three) of Chardonnay or another scroll through her Instagram feed. Meanwhile, their daughter, Birdie, is feeling the pressure of being her high school’s star tennis player, keeping up her GPA, and having her first boyfriend—and Charlotte, despite all her expertise, has no idea how to help her. As Charlotte preaches the gospel of happiness to her undergraduate students, audiences across the country, and her own online followers, she’s faced with some tough questions: What is happiness when the family you’ve nurtured starts to fall apart in front of your eyes? When your daughter seems determined to self-destruct? When the man you thought you’d spend the rest of your life with—and took for granted because of it—gets fed up? When all of the tools that you push to your loyal followers just don’t seem to work? In this bittersweet family love story, Kristyn Kusek Lewis explores how easy it is to lose connection with the people closest to us, and what happens when we try to find our way back.

Her first order as captain of the Memoria is to keep her crew safe, and she is all too happy not to get involved in dangerous political games for once.Corvus is haunted by what he experienced at the hands of the Titan attack, and he's just as eager for a new beginning. He knows that not all Titans are built for war, and that the system can find peace, even as Deva and Pax begin to rattle their sabers.Though the Kaisers may be responsible for diverting a multi-planet war, the planetary leaders are wary of the knowledge they hold. Better to lock them up and keep their dark secrets hidden. But the Kaisers are the only ones who know the truth about the threat of the ancient world-ending alien weapons rooted in each planet-and they may be the only ones who can save the system from total annihilation.

My new neighbor walked into my life with a misdirected package. She left with the worst first impression of all time. It's for the best, though.

That same traitorous ex has just announced she's gatecrashing the biggest post-championship event of my life.

I'm worried I won't be able to hold it together in front of the pair of them - and harsh words are often followed by rash decisions. Decisions like stepping back into the boxing ring to take a fight I couldn't possibly win.It sounds crazy, but I've got an idea that my new neighbor from 4A might be the only person who can help. There's something about Mia Kelly that brings calm to my restless soul. Every time we pass in the hallway, or make eye contact on the stairs, I feel something I haven't felt in a long time: like maybe I wasn't destined to be alone after all.But I can't possibly tell Mia that. She'd think I was crazy - or worse. So, I'll ask that sweet, shy girl to fake it for me instead - to stand by my side as my pretend date as I confront the two people who once tried to tear down my world. Mia's the only one who can give me the strength to do it - I just hope I can stay strong enough not to reveal how I really feel about her when she does.All of Me is the first in Kristyn DeMaster's Brothers Pub series; a steamy sports romance praised for "great chemistry" and characters readers' "care about and root for as a couple."
