We live in a society that promotes the universal process of producing knowledge and truth making as fundamental social process. Such promotion of universality seems to subjugate others forms of knowing rendering them invisible, unintelligible, and ineligible and subsequently outside the community of knowing. This has material and symbolic consequences in terms of how research informs policy and subsequent victimization of those who live, and experience subjugation meted by Western truth making universalism. In the words of Foucault, this book is an insurrection of subterranean and clandestine knowledges in ways that provide not just an alternative process of knowledge production but affirms local knowledge as necessary in production of a just society. The book looks at research as a social justice and transformational process that should speak of peopleâs ways of live without necessarily streamlining them into numbers. The book is a critically reflexive project in ter

In the fall of 1934, George rented the Staff Wilson house and 600 acres on Patterson Creek from owner Leland Young for $1,700. It included pasture and timber land. After his wild horse gathering adventure, Bob went back to Arizona. He likely took the train. Hearst was still living with Paul Denny, at Oak Farm, working half-day for Denny earning $1 each half-day. The other half of the day, Hearst fed and managed the Dillman cattle.
During the winter of 1935, it snowed and snowed and seemed to Hearst that all he did was shovel snow off buildings to keep the roofs from caving. Rose Ann remarked the Staff Wilson house was the coldest place she had ever lived. They did have running water that flowed through a buried wooden pipe-line from Patterson Creek. The pipes were hollowed-out logs that were fitted-together with metal bands.

Several friends called to see if I knew if RFDTV was going to rerun performances of the 2020 National Finals Rodeo. I didn’t know. After Darlene Henninger called me, I decided to email Patrick Gottsch, who is the founder of RFDTV.
I specifically asked if they were planning any reruns. To my surprise I received a phone call at 7 a.m. the next morning. It was Patrick telling me that The Cowboy Channel was already running encore performances. This channel teamed with Dish Satellite and can be found at 232. Unfortunately, my Directv’s basic package does not have The Cowboy Channel. But, you can get an app for $9.99 a month.
