Adult Nonfiction Adult Fiction Graphic Novels Youth Nonfiction Youth Fiction SHARE THIS NEWSLETTER In September of last year, the five Booklist blogs—Likely Stories, Bookends, Audiobooker, Shelf Renewal, and Book Group Buzz—combined as one unstoppable super blog, The Booklist Reader, and we're delighted with the result. For your professional enrichment and a healthy dose of fun diversion, posts are sortable in many different ways, allowing you to browse by department (Bookends, for example), post author (Mary Burkey, let's just say), big-picture categories (book awards, book trailers, YA, etc.), or a wide assortment of tags (multiculturalism & diversity, literary feuds). Here are just a few of our favorite recent posts; read, explore, and tell us what you like in the comments! We love hearing from you. Publishing U: Advice for Aspiring Authors from Publishing Professionals By Keir Graff Usually, we at Booklist concern ourselves only with the end product of an author's efforts: the finished book. We read the books and then review them, offering librarians advice on what to purchase, what to recommend, and what the big books are likely to be. But that's not to say we aren't also interested in how books are made. We do sometimes interview authors about their inspirations, their writing processes, and all the intangible things that don't fit between the covers. >>read more Get more publishing advice Keep the Holds List Happy: 2015 Movies Based on Teen Books By Erin Downey Howerton Everybody wants them: the books that this year's hot movies are based on. Movie buzz gives books a nice bump, so be ready for the next "new" thing. When you run short on stock, here's what to display and recommend next.

This is usually a book that has not received a lot of publicity or media attention but is still rich and engaging. One year, I was lucky to come across an ad for an author visit in a local, independent bookstore's newsletter. I couldn't have asked for anything better when searching for such an unheralded read! >>read more Find your book group's next great read here The Real Meaning of "Books for Youth" By Katharine Uhrich At Booklist we use the phrases "Adult Books" and "Books for Youth" to sort titles for old people from those for young ones. (That's a tad oversimplified, but you get the idea.) It's also how we define editors. (Kind of like the Sharks v. Jets but with less snapping.) >>read more Read behind-the-scenes posts about Booklist Subscribe to Booklist Online Today!

Thornton University of Oxford, [email protected] Recommended Citation Wanasuk, P. , Thornton, T. F. (2015). Aboriginal Tourism as Sustainable Social-Environmental Enterprise (SSEE): A Tlingit Case Study from Southeast Alaska. The International Indigenous Policy Journal, 6(4). DOI: 10.18584/iipj.2015.6.4.8 Aboriginal Tourism as Sustainable Social-Environmental Enterprise (SSEE): A Tlingit Case Study from Southeast Alaska Abstract The Tlingit Aboriginal tourism enterprise named Icy Strait Point in Hoonah, Southeast Alaska is used as a case study to develop the new concept of Sustainable Social-Environmental Enterprise (SSEE). SSEE is defined as an innovative enterprise that has dynamic operational strategies while still maintaining its corporate core values and integrating social, environmental, cultural, economic and political (SECEP) sustainabilities in its operations. The SSEE framework assesses enterprises according to five domains of sustainability: social, environmental, cultural, economic, and political. Applying this framework, we find that while social, economic, and cultural sustainability goals have been achieved in a relatively short time by the Aboriginal tourism enterprise in Hoonah, the political and environmental spheres of sustainability are constrained by the dominant influence of the multinational cruise ship industry over tourism development. Thus, for an emerging tourism enterprise to be sustainable, we suggest each of these livelihood dimensions needs to achieve "a safe operating space" that is adaptable over time and to changing social and environmental circumstances.

  • The Rukai People and Collaborative Conservation in Pingtung, Taiwan
    ASSERTING SOVEREIGNTY THROUGH STRATEGIC ACCOMMODATION: THE RUKAI PEOPLE AND COLLABORATIVE CONSERVATION IN PINGTUNG, TAIWAN By Ying-Jen Lin A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Anthropology—Doctor of Philosophy 2020 ABSTRACT ASSERTING SOVEREIGNTY THROUGH STRATEGIC ACCOMMODATION: RUKAI PEOPLE AND COLLABORATIVE CONSERVATION IN PINGTUNG, TAIWAN By Ying-Jen Lin This dissertation examines how the Rukai, an Indigenous people of Taiwan, have engaged in community-based ecotourism and the state’s conservation projects in order to assert Indigenous sovereignty over traditional territories. This study focuses on the Adiri and the Labuwan communities, which are communities of the Rukai people living in the Wutai Township in Pingtung, Taiwan. The two Rukai communities have actively collaborated with the government on various conservation projects although the relationship between Indigenous peoples of Taiwan and the settler state’s forest governance system has been riddled with conflicts. Existing research has portrayed collaborative environmental governance either as an instrument for co-optation of Indigenous interests or as a catalyst for a more equitable relationship between the state and Indigenous peoples. This dissertation builds on and extends this body of work by examining how the Rukai people have continueD to assert sovereignty in the community-based ecotourism and collaborative conservation projects.

  • MEDIATION AS a PRACTICE of IDENTITY Jewish-Israeli Immigrant Guides in the Christian Holy Land
    MEDIATION AS A PRACTICE OF IDENTITY Jewish-Israeli Immigrant Guides in the Christian Holy Land Jackie Feldman, Ben Gurion University of the Negev The performances of the Holy Land for Christian pilgrims by Jewish-Israeli immigrant guides are an expression of belonging to place and history. Through auto-ethnography of my guiding performance and career path interviews with other immigrant guides, I illustrate how scriptural knowledge, mastery of Hebrew, and the invention of “biblical” rites of hospitality mediate between Christian pilgrims and the land, as well as between Christians and Jews. These performances not only make pilgrims co-producers of the tour; they also assert guides’ claims to nativity. I then compare the performances of such guides with Alaskan cruise guides. I show how the submission or resistance to the commodifying tourist gaze varies under different gazes, different power condi- tions, and given other “native” practices of asserting identity and belonging. Keywords: tour guide, identity, performance, Holy Land, Judaism Introduction: Tour Guides as tors of experience. In the case of Christian pilgrims Mediators of Experience to the Holy Land, the transmission of empathy and The introduction to this special issue outlines sev- understanding through the selection of and emotive eral of the mediatory functions of tour guides.

COA Special Presentation - “CHALLENGER: Soaring with Christa” by Judith Kaoloro Friday, October 14th 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM Who is America's favorite teacher? Ask anyone about Christa McAuliffe and they will tell you exactly where they were when the Challenger shuttle launched. However, few people understand who Mrs. McAuliffe really was. America's “Teacher in Space” was a teacher from Framingham, MA, an educational pioneer. Her goals and accomplishments are explored in this multi-media experience that honors the 30th anniversary of the Challenger launch. This presentation by Judith Kaoloro, a repeat performer at the COA, is sure to be one of the best shows presented at the Concord COA this year!!
