Azurewave port devices driver download for windows. Deborah Miranda, the Thomas H. Broadus, Jr. Professor of English at Washington and Lee University, was a guest this week on UpFront, a show on radio station KPFA in Berkeley, California. Web scraping using pandas. During her interview, she discussed Junipero Serra, the myth of California missions, and the colonization of indigenous people.

Miranda, who is the author of four poetry collections and the book “Bad Indians: A Tribal Memoir,” is an enrolled member of the Ohlone-Costanoan Esselen Nation of the Greater Monterey Bay Area and is also of Santa Ynez Chumash heritage. Junipero Serra was a Franciscan priest who spearheaded the development of the mission system in California. Despite the fact that the mission system resulted in abuses leading to a 90% population loss for indigenous people, he has been made a saint by the Catholic Church. Statues of him have recently been defaced and toppled by activists.

One of the topics addressed by Miranda on the show is the mythologization of the mission system and the perpetualization of that idea through public school lessons.

“All of those [negative] things are erased when you are only presented with this ideal sort of fantasy that missionization was a good thing for Indian people and that the missionaries themselves were kind and loving,” Miranda said. “The idea that paternalism is actually a form of violence never enters into the conversation.”

Deborah Miranda's 2012 book Bad Indiansis a unique one, particularly because its unique structure and because it is a mixed-genre book. To that end, the book is both a history of the authors tribe of California Indians and a memoir of the authors family. Told through both personal reflection and a variety of historical and anthropological resources, the book explores topics of the United States' founding and how it has changed over time, how it -- and how the Spaniards before them -- treated American Indians, and the history of the aforementioned California Indians starting in 1770 and ending in the present day (when the book was written in the late 2000's and early 2010's). Reads the books synopsis: 'This book leads readers through a troubled past using the author's family circle as a touch point and resource for discovery. Personal and strong, these stories present an evocative new view of the shaping of California and the lives of Indians during the Mission period in California. The result is a work of literary art that is wise, angry and playful all at once.' (content adapted from the books' Goodreads.com page).

Kirkus Reviews liked -- but did not love -- the book, writing in part that '[Bad Indians] is not a linear narrative; present and past weave together, historical account leaves off for poetry and lyrical fantasy, the personal and political collide. This is confusing at times and does not always work, but such weakness is overcome by the bold beauty of Miranda’s words.' Kirkus Reviews continued, writing that the book is 'A searing indictment of the ravages of the past and a hopeful look at the courage to confront and overcome them.' Bad Indians also won a number of very minor but still important awards, including 2014's Independent Publisher Book Award.
