At Boise State University, it is not uncommon for students to take a class in Basque Studies sometime in their college career. Students may even earn a minor in Basque studies at Boise State. Only a few universities offer these unique courses in the U.S. The Basque studies program at Boise State is a multidisciplinary study of the Basque people while exploring language, history, politics, and economics to foster lifelong learning. “Euskaldunak,” is what the Basque call themselves which means,…

network. Chagnon stated that by breaking this taboo, members of the society would have a lower social standing than those who would follow it strictly. Therefore, to preserve a sense of social relevance, many people would refuse to discuss their genealogies with them (Chagnon 1992: 7). This taboo of revealing kinship networks aligns with the definition provided by Levi-Strauss, where the Yanomamö society tries to contain their set of kinship customs from unwelcome outsiders and to breach the…

When the dust had settled following the grisly Civil War, Americans realized just how uncivil the war actually was. Significant loss of life was never the intention, but it was the result of this bloody war. The fate of a fractured America grieving the loss of hundreds of thousands of men was a cause of concern for all citizens. One of those people pondering America and its future was the poet, Walt Whitman. Through the careful usage of figurative, denotative and connotative language, Walt…

COLONIAL HISTORIOGRAPHY The systematic history writing in the Indian subcontinent started with the coming of the Europeans, who, for their administrative compulsions were required to know the land and its inhabitants whom they were going to rule.

dad took me in his arms the very moment after I was born and said “Fàilte mo nighean,” which means “welcome my daughter.”At age sixteen now, I have been immersed in Scottish culture all my life. From the music, to the language, to father-daughter genealogy lessons, this culture has always been a part of me. My father used to tell me stories of the “stamping ground,” where our family was originally from. We originated in a sea town called Morar, and eventually we migrated to Nova Scotia before…

It was a film about the making of another film where the director orders a dog to piss up a lamppost. 4John shot this film with the camera mostly placed in the same position, which suggests Genealogy in this work to Structural films as many of the Structural films were shot in a fixed…

unlikely match, given their radically different styles. Still, the accounting industry as a whole had a long history of mergers and acquisitions; over the years more and more partners have become concentrated in a shrinking number of firms. The genealogy of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu looks much like a large family tree stretching back over 100 years to the rise of the multinational…

In sharp contrast to the relatively impersonal nature of the Crimes Against Humanity course material, Tommy Dick’s Getting Out Alive depicts, with a bone-chilling clarity, the emotions spawned by genocide; the humiliation brought on by being publically classified as inferior, the anguish borne out of being persecuted for another’s gain and the eventual transcendence of emotion, barring the fear of death. Through the analyzation of Dick’s critically acclaimed memoir, it is revealed that, not only…
