Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from Orinoco Tribune While the turn towards analyzing ongoing settler-colonialism has finally reached the mainstream of North American political discussions, there is still a lack of popular understanding of the issues involved. Settler-colonialism is, ironically, understood within the framework of the ways of thinking brought by the European ruling classes to the Americas. By extension, the conceptions of decolonization are similarly limited. Although the transition from analyzing psychological or “discursive” decolonization to analyzing literal, concrete colonization has been extremely important, it requires some clarifications.

Historical Commission To Meet At Hill County Pioneer Home The Hill County Historical Commission will meet at 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 25, at the Hill County pioneer home of Drs. Jerry and Jana Burch in Brandon. In addition to regular business, members will hear a program on the home, located at 992 FM 1243. The home s history began in 1846, when Elisha Smith Wyman, a native of Maine who was recently affiliated with the United States Army, arrived in present-day Hill County with a 640-acre land grant from the State of Texas. The Wymans built a dog-trot cabin on the Old Government Road. This home still stands proudly as the oldest structure in Hill County and the home of Drs. Jerry and Jana Burch.
S. C. Gwynne’s Empire of the Summer Moon spans two astonishing stories.
The first traces the rise and fall of the Comanches, the most powerful Indian tribe in American history.
The second entails one of the most remarkable narratives ever to come out of the Old West: The epic saga of the pioneer woman Cynthia Ann Parker and her mixed-blood son Quanah, who became the last and greatest chief of the Comanches.
Although readers may be more familiar with the tribal names Apache and Sioux, it was in fact the legendary fighting ability of the Comanches that determined just how and when the American West opened up.
Michael Barnes thinks the exchange should start with “The Trip to Bountiful.”
Although he isn’t a fan of horror movies, he agrees that “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” is among the most influential movies about the state.
To salute Texas Independence Week in 2019, my former American-Statesman colleague Dave Thomas and I put out a list of the 53 best books about Texas.
It contained some beloved classics, such as John Graves’ “Goodbye to a River,” and some thrilling newcomers, like Attica Locke’s “Bluebird, Bluebird and Monica Muñoz Martinez’s “The Injustice Never Leaves You.”
We encouraged readers to respond with their favorites. They did. On June 14, 2019, I published those provocative responses, including several from folks who wondered why we had left off James Michener’s doorstop novel, “Texas.”
