SUMMARY:Our History is the Future with Nick Estes
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we delve into the latest chapter in the centuries-long struggle for Indigenous liberation. In this lecture\, Nick Estes will discuss his latest work Our History is the Future.\n\n\n\n\nIn 2016\, a small protest encampment at the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota\, initially established to block construction of the Dakota Access oil pipeline\, grew to be the largest Indigenous protest movement in the twenty-first century. Water Protectors knew this battle for native sovereignty had already been fought many times before\, and that\, even after the encampment was gone\, their anticolonial struggle would continue. In Our History Is the Future\, Nick Estes traces traditions of Indigenous resistance that led to the #NoDAPL movement. Our History Is the Future is at once a work of history\, a manifesto\, and an intergenerational story of resistance.\n\nDr. Nick Estes is an enrolled member of the Lower Brulé Sioux\, an Assistant Professor of American Studies at the University of New Mexico\, and a co-founder of The Red Nation. Estes is the author of Our History is the Future: #NoDAPL\, Standing Rock\, and the Long Traditions of Indigenous Resistance (Verso\, 2019)\, which places into historical context the indigenous-led movement to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline.\n\nFor information\, contact Dr. Timothy Yamamura Timothy.Yamamura@nau.edu

SUMMARY:The Big Thirst: Will Arizona Run Out of Water? - Phoenix
DESCRIPTION:Not If We Learn from the Past… \nWhiskey’s for drinking\, and water’s for fighting. The old quip about the West seems truer than ever today\, as growth and climate change threaten  our water supplies. The Colorado River is dwindling\, rural wells are going dry\, and rivers could vanish. But history shows that Arizonans can solve water problems without a gunfight. The late Jack Pfister was a leader in reaching agreements on divisive water issues\, from groundwater pumping to tribal water rights. What can Arizonans learn from Jack’s example to build consensus on the tough issues that we face now and in the future? Join Arizona Humanities and writer Kathleen Ingley for an evening to learn\, discuss\, and reflect on how one person can change the course of public events. \nKathleen Ingley is a freelance writer who specializes in the state’s pivotal issues. She was a reporter and editorial writer at the Arizona Republic\, where her work  has included award-winning series on state trust land\, the potential of solar energy\, the threat of invasive plants\, the increasing impact of the urban heat island and the challenge of growth. She is the author of Water\, Power and Persuasion: How Jack Pfister Helped Shape Modern Arizona. \n

SUMMARY:Author + Talk: Jana Rivers Norton
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, June 8\, 2017\n6:00 – 8:00 p.m. – Presentation and Q&A \nFree event! Light refreshments included. \nArizona Humanities\n1242 N. Central Ave – Phoenix\, AZ 85004 \nExplore the life of renowned Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist Edith Wharton. Dr. Rivers-Norton will discuss excerpts from “Edith Wharton: When Words First Spoke\,” the fourth chapter of her latest book The Demeter-Persephone Myth as Writing Ritual in the Lives of Literary Women. The talk will focus on the novelist Edith Wharton\, who experiences loss\, illness and confusion as a child and is mystified by the aloofness of her mother. Consequently\, she feels insecure and inferior. Although destined to be a writer\, Wharton is profoundly shaped by family discord and a war-torn world\, and often courts humiliation and consequent exile by voicing what others in her family do not want to acknowledge. Despite these restrictions\, Wharton continuously recasts painful experience as fodder for the imagination to forge a lasting literary career. \nAbout Jana Rivers Norton\nDr. Jana Rivers Norton is a fulltime faculty of English at Cochise College\, Santa Cruz Center\, Nogales\, Arizona.  She holds a Master’s in English and a doctorate in Clinical Psychology. She has been a college instructor for more than 25 years and has taught courses in Creative Writing\, Mythology\, Trauma and Gender Studies\, Life Study Narratives\, and the Psychology of Creativity at several institutions including Humboldt State University and the University of New Mexico\, Gallup.  Her research focuses on creativity as an agent of change\, mythos\, trauma and abuse\, gender\, society and the literary landscape. Her peer reviewed articles are found in journals such as ReVision: A Journal of Consciousness and Transformation\, The International Journal of the Humanities and The International Journal of Environmental\, Cultural\, Economic & Social Sustainability. Her first book Taming Trauma’s Wake was published in 2009. Her latest book\, The Demeter-Persephone Myth as Writing Ritual in the Lives of Literary Women\, contextualizes traumatic experiences of early loss and mourning to appreciate more fully\, how writing as ritual yielded a deeper understanding of the impact of childhood trauma and adversity on four eminent writers\, and how their literary responses not only helped transform mental and emotional debility but shaped modern culture.  She is currently working on a third book which focuses on the classical myth of Medea and the violent expression of grief when a mother’s sense of “righteous rage” remains hidden or unresolved.

SUMMARY:Author + Talk: Jerry Garcia - Phoenix
DESCRIPTION:Author + Talk : Looking Like the Enemy: Japanese Mexicans\, the Mexican State\, and U.S. Hegemony\, 1897-1945 with Jerry Garcia \nTuesday\, May 16th \n5:30-6:30 p.m. (small group discussion) \n6:45-8:30 p.m. (Presentation\, Q&A) \nArizona Humanities – 1242 N. Central Ave. – Phoenix\, AZ 85004 \nIf you are interested in purchasing Dr. Garcia’s book visit UA Press and use the discount code AZHUM17 for a special offer. \nhttp://www.uapress.arizona.edu/Books/bid2470.htm \nExplore the Japanese Mexican experience during World War II and learn how it was markedly different than the Japanese American experience in the United States. Dr. Jerry Garcia from Northern Arizona University shares how the Japanese negotiated a distinct space within Mexican culture where Japanese identity and ethnicity was maintained and rarely challenged due to a perception that the Japanese displayed markers of whiteness that were associated with western imperialism and power. Examine how the Japanese adjusted during turbulent and transformative periods in Mexican history and the over-arching policies of the U.S. regarding Japanese immigration throughout the Americas. \nThis program is made possible by the National Endowment for the Humanities and are part of the Humanities and the Legacy of Race and Ethnicity in the United States Initiative.
