    SHORT STORIES TO AMUSE, BAFFLE AND EDUCATE by Ron Harvey

    Short Stories to Amuse, Baffle, and Educate by Ron Harvey   Some things in life are just inexplicable. On top of that, they can't be explained. What this book does is captivatingly capture your imagination in unimaginable and preposterous ways. Imagine that while you are imagining an image of your own imagination. As you read this book of short stories, poems, and cartoons, you will all too quickly realize that the author's imagination has run totally amok. Some may say it's run aground or hit a reef and broken its keel. You must be warned, however. Some of the stories may be a challenge "two" read so you may have to read them twice or thrice to fully appreciate some of the subtler humor; i.e., subtle humor is humor that is below or under the "tle".https://www.amazon.com/Short-Stories-Amuse-Baffle-Educate/dp/1684869609/ref=sr_1_1?crid=173WSY79F5BMS&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.un6XzSfLcZRaERvUknJgig.gblMB23KqJ4hKac1FJv2k_SN4izH4zuwkxl6G34VJRk&dib_tag=se&keywords=9781684869602&qid=1729884634&sprefix=978-1684869602,aps,558&sr=8-1https://www.urlinkpublishing.com/ http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/31325tba1.mp3

    Are You (Still) Ready For W.O.R.?: Without Reservations: Native Hip Hop and Identity in the Music of W.O.R. by Alan Lechusza Ph.D.

    Are You (Still) Ready For W.O.R.?: Without Reservations: Native Hip Hop and Identity in the Music of W.O.R. by Alan Lechusza Ph.D.The 1960s in America brought to light the importance of Civil Rights. The 1970s drew into focus issues of tribal rights, equity, and justice through the Red Power Movement. It was at this turning point in American Indian history that a discourse of sovereignty and tribal self-determination gained national and worldwide visibility. This same era ushered in the foundations of the Hip Hop movement. Native Peoples living in the urban centers were exposed to this expressive complex and utilized the embedded resistant nature of Hip Hop. The 1980s brought forth a critical Native Hip Hop voice that spoke across lines of socio-political demarcation. This work focuses on the Native Hip Hop group, WithOut Rezervation (W.O.R.) and their use of the cultural signifiers and Elements of Hip Hop. A critical reading of selected works by W.O.R. reveals new epistemological discourse models and the ideological flexibility of Native identity. Hip Hop’s vernacular and expressive elements are deconstructed and narrated from a contemporary Native perspective. This updated edition of the original 2009 research includes BONUS TRACKS that illustrate the progress movement of a Native Hip Hop canon. The added analysis reviews the original scholarship to see how those early Native critical theories have evolved for a Native-centered artistic expression. This updated edition argues for socio-linguistic pedagogical theories that articulate the dynamics of tribal sovereignty and self-determination.Dr. Alan Lechusza is a scholar whose name has become synonymous with critical thought and cultural discourse. He is a thinker and writer who explores the world of popular culture with a critical eye. He holds a PhD and uses his deep understanding to question and redefine how we see art, power, and knowledge. His research covers various topics that aim to break down and rebuild our ideas about culture, artistry, and socio-political authority.. Dr. Alan closely examines everyday cultural expressions and examines them in a way that challenges the usual ways of thinking. His writings make people think and view culture in new ways. Dr. Alan Lechusza wants to create conversations that inspire change to understand how we experience the world.https://www.amazon.com/Are-You-Still-Ready-R-ebook/dp/B0D18JF4Y3?ref_=ast_author_mpbhttps://alanlechusza.org/Page Solutions-Bluegrass Bound Bookshttp://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/22725allp.mp3
