In Managing African Portugal, Kesha Fikes shows how the final integration of Portugal’s economic institutions into the European Union (EU) in the late 1990s changed everyday encounters between African migrants and Portuguese citizens. This economic transition is examined through transformations in ideologies of difference enacted in workspaces in Lisbon between the mid-1990s and the early 2000s. Fikes evaluates shifts in racial discourse and considers how both antiracism and racism instantiate proof of Portugal’s European “conversion” and modernization.
The ethnographic focus is a former undocumented fish market that at one time employed both Portuguese and Cape Verdean women. Both groups eventually sought work in low-wage professions as maids, nannies, and restaurant-kitchen help. The visibility of poor Portuguese women as domestics was thought to undermine the appearance of Portuguese modernity; by contrast, the association of poor African women with domestic work confirmed it. Fikes argues that we can better understand how Portugal interpreted its economic absorption into the EU by attending to the different directions in which working-poor Portuguese and Cape Verdean women were routed in the mid-1990s and by observing the character of the new work relationships that developed among them. In Managing African Portugal, Fikes pushes for a study of migrant phenomena that considers not only how the enactment of citizenship by the citizen manages the migrant, but also how citizens are simultaneously governed through their uptake and assumption of new EU citizen roles.

Описание:
Textile artist and instructor Betty Fikes Pillsbury has won hundreds of awards for her homages to the elegance of Victorian crazy quilting. Grounded in traditional methods but crafted with elements of whimsy, each piece stands on its own as a work of art. In this definitive guide, Pillsbury shares her methods for piecing, embroidering, and embellishing. Her instructions equip readers at any level of quilting skill to use those techniques to express their own visions.
Encouraging her readers to see functional and artistic possibilities beyond quilts (wall hangings, purses, and pillowcases are just some of the options), Pillsbury shows them how to make each work by hand, the slow cloth way. An inspiring primer for beginning and experienced quilters alike, this meticulously illustrated how-to book is far more expansive than previous guides. Pillsbury—a master of the form—shows us why crazy quilting belongs firmly in the twenty-first century.

Описание: For over a decade, artist Jimmy Fike traveled across the continental United States in an epic effort to photograph wild edible flora. Edible Plants is the culmination of that journey, featuring over 100 photographs that Fike has selectively colorized to highlight the comestible part of the plant. While the images initially appear to be scientific illustrations or photograms from the dawn of photography when plants were placed directly on sensitized paper and exposed under the sun, a closer look reveals, according to Liesl Bradner of the Los Angeles Times, "haunting [and] eerily beautiful" photographs. Beyond instilling wonder, Fike's contemporary, place-based approach to landscape photography emphasizes our relationship to the natural world, reveals food sources, and encourages environmental stewardship. His clever and beautiful method makes it easy to identify both the specimen and its edible parts and includes detailed descriptions about the plant's wider purposes as food and medicine. Sumptuously illustrated and delightfully informative, Edible Plants is the perfect gift for anyone curious about unlocking the secrets of native North American plants.
Описание: Given the growing popularity of behavioral economics as a means to influence the decisions that individuals make, and the increasing use of choice architecture in public policy, this book offers a critical analysis of the feasibility and limitations of this approach to public policy.

Описание: TELL HIM WITH YOUR HEART is my meager attempt to share some of our incredible, miraculous moments along life's journey. It is a living testimony that all things do really work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose. My special wife appears on the cover. She is a full-blooded American Indian from the Iroquois tribe. Both her father and grandfather were chiefs, and her great uncle posed for the famed American Buffalo Nickel and appeared in over 60 movies. As you partake in our journey, be inspired by the many miracles and stories that unfold with the turn of each page. Stories, such as when the Lord had sent an angel to assist in the delivery our first daughter at birth and the time He intervened miraculously during the delivery of our second daughter to bring both my wife and my daughter back from the dead as witnessed by a nurse. My wife has died on several occasions, but the Lord is not done with the fulfillment of our appointed journey together. Some may find it hard to believe some of the stories you will encounter within each delicate chapter, but the fact is that this is only a small glimpse of our miraculous journey and there are many more volumes that could be written. I am convinced that there is a time, season, and purpose for all things that the Creator of all things may be glorified. As you ride the morning winds of our unbelievable journey, my heart will be holding hands with you. Be blessed and inspired. Raymond Fike
