Mary Crow Dog introduces herself as Mary Brave Bird, a Lakota woman. She ran away from a coldly impersonal boarding school run by nuns where, she reports, Indian students were beaten to induce them to give up native customs and speech. Her girlhood, a vicious circle of drinking and fighting, was marked by poverty, racism and a rape at 14. Written with Erdoes ( Lame Deer Seeker of Visions ), her searing autobiography is courageous, impassioned, poetic and inspirational. It inspires Crow Dog to reconnect with her more traditional relatives like her grand-uncle Dick Fool Bull, who takes her to her first peyote meeting. Seventeen years old at the time, she married fellow activist Leonard Crow Dog, medicine man and spiritual leader of the American Indian Movement (AIM). At the heart of AIM is the rebellion against Christianization and the return to ancient beliefs (93).

The latter is the privilege of intellectual and moral truths, which are concerned with the objectivation of the will in its highest stages, whereas physical truths are concerned with it in its lowest.įor example, if we could establish the truth of what up till now is only a conjecture, namely, that it is the action of the sun which produces thermoelectricity at the equator that this produces terrestrial magnetism and that this magnetism, again, is the cause of the aurora borealis, these would be truths externally of great, but internally of little, significance. Truths of the physical order may possess much external significance, but internal significance they have none. The reader will find that it is not so much Ethics and Politics that are here treated, as human nature itself in various aspects. For convenience' sake I have divided the original chapters into sections, which I have had to name and I have also had to invent a title which should express their real scope.

Even the military was riddled with patronage commanders received a string of payments from a pyramid of loyal officers beneath them. It followed a certain logic: in weak democracies, people paid their way into office by buying votes in a state where there were no votes to buy, you paid the people who doled out the jobs. The municipal party secretary was on the block for $101,000. In a small town in Inner Mongolia, the post of chief planner was sold for $103,000. “Paying for power was so common that in 2012 the Modern Chinese Dictionary, the national authority on language, was compelled to add the word maiguan-“to buy a government promotion.” In some cases, the options read like a restaurant menu.

Layton knew he was supposed to laugh, but his brain was caught on the first part of that sentence. “Without the benefit of Lady Marion’s calming influence, Caroline would wreak havoc on the masterpiece my valet makes of me every morning.” “I suppose I should show up for a sermon or two. “Holy Harry.” Layton laughed as he shook his head. “Harry preached from it,” Philip corrected, flashing a grin over his shoulder. “You were the only one of us brothers who actually read your prayer book outside of church.” “I always did like attending services,” Layton remembered wistfully. “Does that mean I won’t have Caroline climbing all over me during the sermon from now on?” A certain urgency in his tone belied his casual choice of words. “Yes, he will,” Philip answered with a hint of pride in his voice. |
