BOOK
The Specter of the Indian: Race, Gender, and Ghosts in American Séances, 1848-1890
In her introduction, Troy argues that Indian spirit manifestations were not \"nostalgic symbols of a vanishing race\" but were instead witnesses to American colonial crimes, appearing \"when the United States was almost constantly at war with Indian nations, when debates about what to do with Indians raged, and when the future of the North American West was anything but certain\" (xi). Ascending from a heaven understood as a \"racial utopia\" where Indians souls acquire and play with language (82), the ideality of both the male and female specters schooled their audiences in Christian values by frontloading the moral failings of the State in American-Indian negotiation and warfare. What Troy doesn't say, possibly for fear of condemning the Spiritualists' efforts at the tail end of a redemptive project, is that the Spiritualist political legacy, and that of other liberal progressive movements of this time, merely enabled the translation of violence against Indigenous people into another form other than outright warfare.
Book Review
The deep sky
\"It is the eve of Earth's environmental collapse. A ship carries eighty elite graduates of a competitive program, who will give birth to a generation of children in deep space. But a bomb kills three of the crew and knocks The Phoenix off course. Asuka, the only surviving witness, is an immediate suspect. Asuka already felt like an impostor before the explosion. She was chosen to represent Japan, a country she only partly knows as a half-Japanese girl raised in America. But The Phoenix is all she has left. With the crew turning on each other, Asuka is determined to find the culprit before they all lose faith in the mission - or worse, the bomber strikes again\" -- Publisher's description.
