Black Networked Resistance - Raven Simone Maragh Lloyd - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Black Networked Resistance - Raven Simone Maragh Lloyd - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Black Networked Resistance? explores the creative range of Black digital users and their responses to varying forms of oppression, utilizing cultural, communicative, political, and technological threads both on and offline. Raven Maragh-Lloyd demonstrates how Black users strategically rearticulate their responses to oppression in ways that highlight Black publics’ historically rich traditions and reveal the shifting nature of both dominance and resistance, particularly in the digital age. Through case studies and interviews, Maragh-Lloyd reveals the malleable ways resistance can take shape and the ways Black users artfully demonstrate such modifications of resistance through strategies of survival, reprieve, and community online. Each chapter grounds itself in a resistance strategy, such as Black humor, care, or archiving, to show the ways that Black publics reshape strategies of resistance over time and across media platforms. Linking singular digital resistance movements while arguing for Black publics as strategic content creators who connect resistance strategies from our past to suit our present needs, Black Networked Resistance encourages readers to create and cultivate lasting communities necessary for social and political change by imagining a future of joy, community, and agency through their digital media practices.

A Flora of the White Mountains, California and Nevada - Robert M. Lloyd - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

A Flora of the White Mountains, California and Nevada - Robert M. Lloyd - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

A Flora of the White Mountains, California and Nevada explores the rich and diverse plant life of this isolated mountain range, renowned for housing the oldest living plants on Earth—bristlecone pines (Pinus longaeva). With elevations ranging from 4,000 feet to the summit of White Mountain Peak at 14,246 feet, the flora of the White Mountains is shaped by the harsh conditions and unique geography of the region. The book delves into the four major vegetation zones—desert scrub, pinyon woodland, subalpine forest, and alpine tundra—each hosting distinct plant communities. The flora includes approximately 815 vascular plant species, many of which are shared with the Sierra Nevada and Great Basin, while others are endemic to the region. Through detailed fieldwork conducted between the 1960s and 1970s, the authors document this botanical treasure trove, contributing valuable insights to the study of plant migration, adaptation, and conservation. The book offers an in-depth look at the plant communities across varying elevations, from the desert scrub dominated by shadscale (Atriplex confertifolia) to the alpine tundra, home to species like Eriogonum gracilipes and Phlox covillei. Special attention is given to the bristlecone pine forests in the subalpine zone, where unique species such as Heuchera duranii and Trifolium monoense thrive. The flora’s comparative study reveals the region’s significant botanical diversity, with species that span arctic-alpine and montane-boreal affinities, as well as many that have migrated from the Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains. By examining the ecological and geographical influences on the flora, the book highlights the importance of the White Mountains as a critical area for understanding plant evolution and the effects of climatic change.

An Arabian Diary - Sir Gilbert Clyaton - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

An Arabian Diary - Sir Gilbert Clyaton - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

This personal diary of six months of diplomacy and travel in Arabia represents and impressive document to the quiet ability and resourcefulness of one of Great Britain's leading officials in the Middle East in the 1920's. The sudden expansion of the Arabian Sultanate of Najd under the leadership of 'Abd-al-'Aziz ibn Sa'ud after the First World War presented a clear danger to British interests in the Middle East and threatened the strategically important Arabian corridor to India. To resolve this project the British government selected Sir Gilbert Clayton as their envoy to negotiate a settlement of differences and to determine the frontier between Saudi Arabia and the British Mandates of Trans-Jordan and Iraq. Sir Gilbert Falkingham Clayton (1875-1929) was a quiet, able soldier, administrator, and diplomat who had come out to eh Middle East during the reconquest of the Sudan and remained as a political officer in theSudan service, secretary to the Governor-General of the Sudan, Sir Reginald Wingate, and finally the Sudan agent at Cairo. At the outbreak of the First World War, Clayton served as the director of Military Intelligence an forged that remarkable intelligence team which included among others Leonard Woolley, George Lloyd, and T.E. Lawrence. Experience and resourceful, Clayton was an obvious choice to travel to the tents of Iban Sa'ud where the autumn of 1925 he negotiated the Bahra and Hadda Agreements fixing the frontiers of Saudi Arabia with Trans-Jordan and Iraq and cementing friendship between Britain and Ibn Sa'ud. These results represent a brilliant triumph of personal diplomacy which protected British interests and inaugurated the lifelong friendship between Sir Gilbert and Ibn Sa'ud. The story of these negotiations and Sir Gilbert's subsequent mission to the Imam of Yemen as the first official representative of the British government to visit San'a' are told in this valuable historical diary.
