Books with author John N. Low

The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians has been a part of Chicago since its founding. In very public expressions of indigeneity, they have refused to hide in plain sight or assimilate. Instead, throughout the city’s history, the Pokagon Potawatomi Indians have openly and aggressively expressed their refusal to be marginalized or forgotten—and in doing so, they have contributed to the fabric and history of the city.Imprints: The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians and the City of Chicago examines the ways some Pokagon Potawatomi tribal members have maintained a distinct Native identity, their rejection of assimilation into the mainstream, and their desire for inclusion in the larger contemporary society without forfeiting their “Indianness.” Mindful that contact is never a one-way street, Low also examines the ways in which experiences in Chicago have influenced the Pokagon Potawatomi. Imprints continues the recent scholarship on the urban Indian experience before as well as after World War II.

For the writer/anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston, humor offered "a way out of no way," helping African American culture survive the harsh realities of life. The humor in Hurston's writing was a vehicle for subversive observations on intolerable conditions, yet it also provided a joyous commentary on the paradoxically creative and exuberant folk culture of an oppressed people.John Lowe explores the comic elements of Hurston's fiction in the first book-length critical study to draw on her entire body of work. Tracing connections between Hurston's life and the cultural, historical, and literary events that affected her, Lowe reveals the sources of her humor and its serious purposes by using social science humor theory, American studies, feminist theory, Bakhtin, and close readings of Hurston's fiction, nonfiction, manuscripts, and letters. Lowe also shows how Hurston balanced her levity with a resonant cosmic language drawn largely from African and African American religious imagery.

Max, an inquisitive German shepherd, follows Jerry everywhere. Max especially enjoys fishing trips. His specialty is romping in the water. Jerry, Max and friend, David, head to the slack water pond one day, just off the river, for a fishing outing. After they have been there a while, they observe a mysterious object bobbing and twisting in the eddy where the river empties into the pond. The boys are curious about this interesting object and discuss what to do. They watch as the object breaks free of the swirl and inches closer to them. Max is nervous and repeatedly barks his disapproval, but the boys decide to seek out the object, wading out chest deep into the water. Jerry then sees what the object is, and a quick retreat and a race back home is in order. Max's first impression was therby justified, however, he is disappointed that the trip ended so abruptly.

They say we live in the sewers among the dirt and filth. But tell me, who built the sewers? Not us. Who fills the land with rubbish? Not us. Who throws their uneaten food out into the street? We dont. Who drives the cars and the lorries that pollute our beautiful world? Not us. They say you are never more than six feet away from one of us in the big city. Well you may be closer than you think just look in the mirror. Children, I beg you to study hard at school so you may be able to put right what your ancestors got wrong. King Rat
