Tuhami: Portrait of a Moroccan
ASIN: 0674389808 |
Book Description
Treating subjects as diverse as Roman carnivals and Balinese cockfights, circumcision, dreaming, and spirit possession in Morocco, transference in psychoanalysis, self-characterization in teenage girls' gossip, Alice in Wonderland, and Jane Austen's Emma, dialogue models in hermeneutics, and semantic vertigo in Hamlet's Elsinore, these essays look critically at the inner workings of interpretation in human sciences and literary study. In modern Western culture's attempts to interpret and communicate the nature of other cultures, Crapanzano finds a crippling crisis in representation. He shows how the quest for knowledge of "exotic" and "primitive" people is often confused with an unexamined need for self-definition, and he sets forth the resulting interpretive paradoxes, particularly the suppression of any awareness of the play of power and desire in such an approach. What is missing from contemporary theories of interpretation is, in Crapanzano's account, a crucial understanding of the role context plays in any act of communication or its representation-in interpretation itself.

A must have for the hundreds of teachers...............1998-04-21
This book is a must have for the hundreds of American teachers that come to fill the schools of Micronesia. It covers practically all of the native cultures of the islands, though not very "in-depth". The pictures show the true beauty of the islands and the people - how 'bout a sequel?
Simple and visually very nice, but..........1997-01-30
the book totally ignores one of the biggest micronesian countries...the Marshall Islands. Could you do Polynesia without Tahiti

Product Description
SOFTCOVER EDITION. Herald is the story of Hermes, divine messenger of classical mythology and bastard son of mighty Zeus, ruler of the Olympian gods. Born secretly in an ancient mountain cave, and possessing abilities that make the young god a friend to both the living and the dead, Hermes becomes a valuable aid in Zeus efforts to bring the final Olympians to power. Told from Hermes unique perspective are many beloved tales from ancient Greece, including those of Orpheus, Persephone, and Perseus, interwoven with Hermes own attempts to forge a place for himself among mortal and immortal beings. Herald pulls the reader into ancient Greece and into the mind of a legendary mythological figure as he struggles with power, death, mortality, and the carnal treachery of a goddess.
Customer Reviews:
Well-written book left me wanting more.......2006-05-10
Greek mythology isn't generally an area of reading interest (usually really dull reading, though the stories themselves are always interesting), but Herald read quickly and easily. I found myself just wanting to sit and read it (instead of doing the things I *should* be doing like work). This isn't a reaction I have very often to books so whoever reads this review should take note. I was transfixed, hooked on characters brought to life in a much clearer way than I have experienced before. Now I just want to know where the next volume in the trilogy is!
WheelMan Press Book Review.......2006-05-08
When I was in school I always enjoyed reading Greek mythology, but this book is a lot different than the textbook stories I read back then. Herald is written in a biographical form from the perspective of Hermes, and reading about his life and adventures made me see him more as a young man rather than a Greek god. The book contains a lot of action and adventure that will keep you well entertained. I enjoyed the book and would definitely recommend to anyone who is a fan of Greek mythology.
I give it four stars.
- Rashonda Banks, WheelMan Press Book Reviews
If you're a fan of mythology or fantasy fiction, you'll love this!.......2006-03-13
I've always been a fan of Greek mythology, particularly when the characters and stories have been interpreted in films, however my experience with mythology in literature has been much more limited.
Up until now, most of what I've read of Greek mythology seemed kind of dry and academic, so I was really excited when I read the description for this book. I grabbed a copy as soon as I could, and I have to say I wasn't disapointed.
The story is well paced, with lots of action and the characters are interesting and relatable- definitely not the kind of stuff I was exposed to in school. I also thought it was cool that the story was narrated, in an autobiograpical fashion, by Hermes whom (up until now)I kind of regarded as one of the "lesser" Greek gods.
This is one of those books that when you start it, you don't want to put it down until you're done (and the ending was great!) I'm looking forward to the next two installments.
If you're a fan of Greek mythology or fantasy fiction, you're definitely going to want to check this out.
Fascinating "autobiography" of a Greek god!.......2006-02-01
I bought this surprisingly hefty book because I can't resist books about Greek mythology and I couldn't pass up this topic: An "autobiography" of a Greek god??? I don't think this has been done before. Most stories about Greek mythology center on the heroes, so a book about one of the gods is a novelty. I didn't have high expectations for "Herald," but it turned out to be a nice surprise! I finished it the first weekend I got it because once I got about 30 pages into it I couldn't put it down. This is an engaging "autobiography" of Hermes, the mischievous winged messenger god of Greek mythology. Here, Hermes tells his own story from his birth to his involvement in how the final Olympians came to be, that group of gods that held sway over the mortals, demigods and weaker gods of Greek mythology. But the book is much more than a story about the Olympians. There are many fascinating plots and subplots throughout the book, all from Greek mythology and presented so that I came to care about these figures that used to seem stuffy and distant. I don't think you need to know any Greek mythology to enjoy and follow this book. It's a very engrossing fantasy novel.
I expected the writing to be stilted and stuffy, but it isn't that way at all. At the start of the novel, the author has Hermes defy the Muses by refusing to tell his story in traditional verse, and he instead opts for "straightforward words." This rebellious and amusing beginning sets the tone for the rest of the book as Hermes tells his story in a way that's fascinating, emotionally engrossing and often humorous. Hermes himself comes across as a likable and endearing figure, very independent but devoted to those he loves, and touchingly naive despite the power and knowledge he has as an Olympian god. This book may be about a god but it's also a subtle story about a young man's loss of innocence and about his struggles to hang on to his identity in the face of life, death, questions of self-worth, and events that bring him to the brink of insanity.
Other gods and heroes from Greek mythology appear here, and all are well-rounded characters with very clear and, dare I say, HUMAN personalities and foibles: The gentle and sisterly Persephone; the amusingly grumpy but brave Perseus; the calm and imperturbable Athena; the fiercely loyal Apollo; the treacherous and high-maintenance Aphrodite; and the affectionate but mysteriously absent Maia, mother of Hermes, among the other entertaining characters in this book. In particular, I thought Athena was a very enjoyable character: "I'm not infallible, Hermes." At last we learn why she and Hermes team up so much in the Greek myths!
I was struck by how the author really makes the Greek gods seem like a family, which they truly are though the old myths usually don't make them seem so. It's also interesting how the author splits the Olympians into two generational groups, elder and younger. As part of the younger group, Hermes deals mostly with his siblings Apollo, Athena, etc., while the elder gods almost seem to lurk in the background as mysterious and unapproachable figures with incredible elemental powers that the younger generation often combat. It's a fascinating setup. The author also does a great job of weaving obscure figures from Greek mythology into the narrative. I've only ever seen Herse and her family in "Metamorphoses" by Ovid, which the author does list as a source. The book also contains quite a bit of sex, which isn't surprising since it's a factor in most of the old myths, but it's tastefully presented here and none of it is gratuitous: It's all there for a reason. The author, thank goodness, isn't obsessed with going into excessive details and seems content to leave some things to the reader's imagination, which I for one appreciate.
The book has several bonuses in addition to the story itself. It contains a map of ancient Greece and the surrounding areas, which helps give an idea of how this ancient world is set up. Best of all are the notes in the back that give details behind some of the smaller tales in the book and also explain why the author did some of the things he did. The notes alone are almost worth the price of the book, and instead of being dry and academic are an enjoyable read on their own. I also appreciate that this feature is in the BACK of the book instead of the front, so it doesn't get in the way of readers before they have a chance to read the actual story. I hate it when books about classical stories bombard readers at the beginning with notes or intros that are as long as the story itself, but that isn't the case here. Rounding out the notes is a useful glossary of all the characters that appear in the novel and a list of other books for readers to look for, mostly ancient Greek and Roman classics.
The back of the book says this is the first installment of a planned trilogy. I eagerly await the next installment!

Breath of Hermes.......2000-03-27
"Hermes" is a book sereis written by Michel Serres. These works(total 5 volumes) are indispensable to comprehend the thought of Serres. Serres developes his ideas through thematic words e.g., communication, distribution... Serres is really one of the great thinkers in our age who has erudite knowledge about natural science as well as humanity.

Book Description
1922. The purpose of this essay is to indicate the chief tendencies of ancient Egyptian speculation in regard to the god Thoth. Taking as the basis of his work a fairly complete examination of the chief references to the god in Egyptian literature and ritual, the author has tried to distinguish the more important phases of Thoth's character as they were conceived by the Egyptians, and to show how these aspects, or phases, of his being help to explain the various activities which are assigned to him in the Egyptian legends of the gods and in the ritual of tombs and temples.

Extemely enjoyable novel by Ru Emerson, yet another 5 star!.......1999-01-27
Ru Emerson captures the voice of Xena and her companion, Gabrielle in this tie in novel to the series, Xena:Warrior Princess. What is there not to like? As a fellow Xenite speaking to the other Xenites out there, one needs something to fill in the time from one episode to the next. Some write fan fic, some do art....others read. Ru Emerson studies her topic well and obviously knows what she is talking about. As I read of the leather-clad Xena and witty Gabrielle along with the golden haired boy Hadrian, I felt I was actually in the story...the way she described the environment was so realistic to me. I look forward to reading her new books!
Book Description
A powerful, bracing and deeply spiritual look at intensely, troubled youth,
Last Chance in Texas gives a stirring account of the way one remarkable prison rehabilitates its inmates.
While reporting on the juvenile court system, journalist John Hubner kept hearing about a facility in Texas that ran the most aggressive–and one of the most successful–treatment programs for violent young offenders in America. How was it possible, he wondered, that a state like Texas, famed for its hardcore attitude toward crime and punishment, could be leading the way in the rehabilitation of violent and troubled youth?
Now Hubner shares the surprising answers he found over months of unprecedented access to the Giddings State School, home to “the worst of the worst”: four hundred teenage lawbreakers convicted of crimes ranging from aggravated assault to murder. Hubner follows two of these youths–a boy and a girl–through harrowing group therapy sessions in which they, along with their fellow inmates, recount their crimes and the abuse they suffered as children. The key moment comes when the young offenders reenact these soul-shattering moments with other group members in cathartic outpourings of suffering and anger that lead, incredibly, to genuine remorse and the beginnings of true empathy . . . the first steps on the long road to redemption.
Cutting through the political platitudes surrounding the controversial issue of juvenile justice, Hubner lays bare the complex ties between abuse and violence. By turns wrenching and uplifting,
Last Chance in Texas tells a profoundly moving story about the children who grow up to inflict on others the violence that they themselves have suffered. It is a story of horror and heartbreak, yet ultimately full of hope.
Customer Reviews:
Hopeful.......2006-03-18
Would give this book 5 stars for the hopeful ideas about rehabilitating violent youth offenders. Successful treatment program could be used nationwide and lead to increased rehabilitation instead of increased recidivism. Youths from horrific backgrounds and who committed horrendous crimes begin to feel empathy and remorse.
a dose of a different reality.......2006-03-10
For those of us who have been sheltered from the abuse and misery caused by illegal drugs, both passed on unfailingly from one generation to the next, this books is almost an overdose of what reality is like for the abused children of users. It is also an absorbing account of pain and hope in the Texas juvenile justice system. I'm glad I heard the author interviewed on NPR, and I'm glad I read his skillful account of one program in the justice system that appears to work.
perspective is excellent.......2006-02-25
Hubner's perspective is excellent. As a former case worker with Juvenile Delinquents I found his research impressive and his insights even more impressive. A must read for those in the field or interested.
Hope for youth.......2006-02-24
I highly recommend to anyone who has a heart for incarsarated kids. These kids have come from the worst circumstances, abused, criminally & drug involved families. John Hubner spent time in the facility for the worst offenders in Texas... & he ends up calling the book the "redemption" . You really get to know & cheer for the kids he follows thru the system.
Please read, and ask a close-minded friend to read it as well.......2005-12-12
I had a chance to visit the Giddings facility when I was in law school. It was a life altering moment. I met a kid who murdered someone when he was 13. Another who sodomized his younger sister. And so forth. I grew up in a Christian home and knew all my life that people can be forgiven of their sins and redeemed to a new life. But when the teenagers shared the details of their crimes, I found it disturbing that God could forgive them, and even more troubling that these kids could be released when they are only 18.
But when you meet them, you see that they are not monsters. They are kids, who can learn from their mistakes. The visit was arranged by my law school professor, Robert Dawson, who was instrumental in creating the legal framwork which created the program. He passed away recently. He was a quiet hero who championed the rights of childern. I walked away from the visit to Giddings thinking it would be a great book if someone wrote about this. A few years later, John Hubner has done it.
Reading the book has helped me learn not only more about the inside stories of these kids, but it made me learn more about myself. Another great book on the topic of juvenile justice is "No Matter How Loud I Shout" by Edward Humes.

Slow Start, But Worth It!.......2007-05-18
Like other reviewers, I think this is a great story. There are multiple levels to the plot--a murder mystery, a run at a basketball championship, a school project mirroring real life, a friendship tested. Even with all these elements working together, the story isn't convoluted. The start of the story, though, does drag a bit, especially compared to the fast pace of the rest of the novel. Overall a great read, though--another great one by this author!--and one that boys and girls alike would enjoy.
This Author Deserves More Recognition.......2006-04-20
I read this book based on a student recommendation. What a welcome surprise. This author deserves much more recognition for her talent. I look at and read Young Adult books all the time, but I knew nothing of this book.
The Perfect Shot is a wonderful look at teen life and the struggles human beings go through when dealing with a loss. This book is also an experienced look at the struggles young adults go through when trying to figure out what their place is in this world.
The book does all of the above and accelerates the plot with a suspenseful ending that will leave the reader wanting to read whatever this author produces.
This book is a gem of a Young Adult book. This is a definite must-read.
I am now going to backtrack and read this author's other books, one of which is an Edgar Award winner.
THE BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-03-14
I loved this book so much! I dont see how anyone couldn't. i read it for fun and it turned out to teach me a lot about love and about law. I can understand things more clearly by relating experiences to experiences of the characters. their lives are magnificently changing and understandable. i would reccomend this book to people who love teen murder mysteries and amazing pieces of writing that touch your heart. this book made me feel, it made me cry, it made me laugh. this book is about life and understanding the situation. the characters' struggles are real and exciting. this book is amazing.
I couldnt put this book down, but at some parts i had to, this story is very intense and that made it all the more lovely.
the murder of one boy's girlfriend turns into a path to life discovery, a path that leads to the meaning of everything. read this book and follow young Brian, go down the path with him. you will discover too.
Book Description
School Crime and Juvenile Justice, Second Edition, examines the nature, extent, and causes of school crime and disruptive behavior, offering a comprehensive overview of this significant and growing problem. Drawing on numerous sources and on studies conducted over the past ten years, the second edition reviews the most up-to-date theories on the relationship between school crime and crime in the community, the role of parents and peers, and schools' organization and policies. Lawrence discusses current research findings, laws and school policies, prevention strategies, and alternative schools and special education programs for at-risk and delinquent students. Extensively revised and updated, this edition includes two new chapters: Chapter 6 examines the school environment and how school size, structure, and related factors affect school crime and safety, while Chapter 7 discusses recent research on identifying which students may be at risk of committing school violence. Chapters on the causes of juvenile delinquency and the role of police, courts, and corrections in the administration of juvenile justice have been expanded and updated to reflect the latest available research and resources. Ideal for criminal justice courses and an indispensable resource for scholars and school administrators, School Crime and Juvenile Justice, Second Edition, takes a closer look at the problem of crime and violence in and around schools. It offers a clear understanding of how people can work together to create safer schools and how educators and juvenile justice officials can develop cooperative delinquency prevention programs.

A Great Book for Girls.......1999-10-10
Even in this day and age, young girls need to know that any door can be opened with a bit of pushing. This book not only brings to life a great role model, it shows that she is a real person. Ms. McElroy's simple, spare prose never condescends, but clearly sketches both the professional and family persona of her subject. It is a book that will be treasured by the owner and her (or even his) parents. If this is the beginning of a series, I look forward to the next one -- the author has found a valuable place on our bookshelves and in our hearts.
