De verovering van Noord-Amerika
€ 19,90
Wij kennen maar één kant van de geschiedenis van Amerika: die van de Europese kolonisator. Dit boek beschrijft de andere kant. We leren de Amerikaanse geschiedenis – met name die van Noord-Amerika – kennen door de bril van de inheemse volkeren. De verovering van Noord-Amerika begint in 1492, als de kolonisatie van Amerika op gang komt. De inheemse bevolking wordt bewust besmet met dodelijke ziekten, verplaatst, achtergesteld en deels geassimileerd. De inheemse volkeren en culturen overleven hun bijnavernietiging, maar de effecten van deze kolonisatie zijn tot op de dag van vandaag merkbaar.
Tahir Vladi (1978) studeerde American Studies aan de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen en is gespecialiseerd in de geschiedenis van de inheemse volkeren van het Amerikaanse continent.

Cache-sexe
€ 34,90This book asks why humans through history have covered their genitals and worn a cache-sexe. Does the cache-sexe merely provide protection, or is it an instrument to draw attention? Can the cache-sexe be used to stimulate certain thoughts? Why does not wearing a cache-sexe provoke shame one society but not in another? Are nudity and nakedness the same?
On his quest to answer these questions, the author takes the reader on a review of the anatomy of the female and male genitals and reflects on how this part of the human body has been perceived over time and in various cultures. The different types of male and female cache-sex are discussed with reference to comprehensive illustrations based on unique and sometimes previously unpublished examples of cache-sexes and photographic documentation. The book also pays attention to the covering of the ‘backside’. Following this 360° exploration of the use of the cache-sexe, the place of the cache-sexe in art and fashion is uncovered.
