Baer. <\/strong>The first genocide of the twentieth\ncentury, though not well known, was committed by Germans between 1904-1907 in\nthe country we know today as Namibia, where they exterminated hundreds of\nHerero and Nama people and subjected the surviving indigenous men, women, and\nchildren to forced labor. The perception of Africans as subhuman–lacking any\nkind of civilization, history, or meaningful religion–and the resulting\njustification for the violence against them is what Baer refers to as the\n“genocidal gaze,” an attitude that was later perpetuated by the\nNazis. In The Genocidal Gaze<\/em>, Baer\nuses the metaphor of the gaze to trace linkages between the genocide of the Herero\nand Nama and that of the victims of the Holocaust. Significantly, Baer also\nconsiders the African gaze of resistance returned by the indigenous people and\ntheir leaders upon the German imperialists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n History of the Canadian National Railways <\/a>[by] G.

Laugrand and Jarich G. Oosten. <\/strong>Using both archival material and oral\ntestimony collected during workshops in Nunavut between 1996 and 2008, Laugrand\nand Oosten provide a nuanced look at Inuit religion, offering a strong counter\nnarrative to the idea that traditional Inuit culture declined post-contact.\nThey show that setting up a dichotomy between a past identified with\ntraditional culture and a present involving Christianity obscures the\ncontinuity and dynamics of Inuit society, which has long borrowed and adapted\n“outside” elements. They argue that both Shamanism and Christianity\nare continually changing in the Arctic and ideas of transformation and\ntransition are necessary to understand both how the hunting ideology shaped\nInuit Christian cosmology and how Christianity changed Inuit shamanic\ntraditions. Inuit Shamanism and\nChristianity<\/em> is particularly useful in distinguishing between the influence\nof Anglican, Catholic, and, more recently, Pentecostal and Evangelical\nmovements and in delineating the ways in which Shamanism still influences\nmodern life in Inuit communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Israeli\ncinema: identities in motion<\/a> \/edited by Miri Talmon and Yaron Peleg.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Literary\nobscenities: U.S. case law and naturalism after modernism<\/a> \/Erik M.
