  • Orientalia II Malaysia · Singapore · Borneo
    Orientalia II Malaysia · Singapore · Borneo John Randall (Books of Asia) [email protected] First printed edition of the finest literary work in the Malay language 1 Abdullah bin Abdulkadir, editor. Sejarah Melayu. , [Singapore]. First edition, 8vo, pp. [1]-7 (preface), [1, blank], [1, title], [2], 4-368. Malay text in Jawi (Arabic script). With Bibliotheca Lindesiana bookplate and pencil inscription: Malay Books No.3. [205244] SOLD The Sejarah Melayu, or Malay annals, (in Arabic, Sulalat al-Salatin or Genealogy of kings) was composed in the early 16th century by Tun Seri Larang, an official at the court of Sultan Mahmud Shah. It records the history of Malacca from its foundation by the Srivijayan prince Parameswara around 1400, through its rise to become the richest entrepot in southeast Asia, to the Portuguese conquest in 1511. The Sejarah Melayu is the finest literary work in the Malay language, written by Tun Seri Larang, the greatest Malay author of the classical period. They are moreover the most important Malay historical text, providing a handbook of Malay statecraft and outlining the relationship between ruler and subjects. While there are more than thirty extant manuscripts of Sejarah Melayu there are only four recorded copies of this first printed edition. Two are at the Library of Congress, one known to have been purchased for $3 in Singapore in 1842 by the United States Exploring Expedition under Wilkes, one at Leiden, and one at the National Library of Malaysia. No date of publication appears in the text. Our copy was in the Bibliotheca Lindesiana, the celebrated collection built by Lord Lindsay (1812-1880), 25th Earl of Crawford, and his son James Ludovic Lindsay.

An additional 16 PLUTO fuel pipelines are laid under the English Channel to points in France (Oxford). Japanese airstrip at Sandakan, Borneo, is put out of action by Allied bombing. Built with forced labour by some 3,600 Indonesian civilians and 2,400 Australian and British PoWs captured at Singapore (of which only some 1,900 were still alive at this time). It is decided to abandon the airfield. Between January and March the prisoners are force marched in groups to a new location 160 miles away, but most cannot complete the journey due to disease and malnutrition, and are killed by their guards. Only 6 Australian servicemen are found alive from this group at the end of the war, having escaped from the column, and only 3 of these survived to testify against their guards. All the remaining enlisted RAF prisoners of 205 Sqn., captured at Singapore and Indonesia, died in these death marches (Jardine, wikipedia).

  • Chapter 9: Urban Design and Visual Resources A. INTRODUCTION
    Chapter 9: Urban Design and Visual Resources A. INTRODUCTION This chapter considers the potential effects of the proposed project on urban design and visual resources. It is expected that the Farley Complex, an important visual resource, would be altered by the insertion of a new intermodal hall between West 31st and 33rd Streets that would be enclosed with a glass skylight, as envisioned in the preliminary design that was previously considered in 1999. Further, since Phase II of the proposed project could include construction of a structure of up to 1 million zoning square feet either above the Western Annex or on the Development Transfer Site at Eighth Avenue between West 34th and West 33rd Streets, it could create a more visible alteration to the urban design character of the study area. As recommended by the CEQR Technical Manual, the study area is, therefore, defined as the area within approximately 400 feet of the project site—an area bounded by West 30th and 34th Streets, the west side of Ninth Avenue and the east side of Eighth Avenue (see Figure 9-1). This chapter has been prepared in accordance with the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), which requires that State agencies consider the effects of their actions on urban design and visual resources. The technical analysis follows the guidance of the CEQR Technical Manual. As defined in the manual, urban design components and visual resources determine the “look” of a neighborhood—its physical appearance, including the street pattern, the size and shape of buildings, their arrangement on blocks, streetscape features, natural features, and noteworthy views that may give an area a distinctive character.

  • Native American Church
    Native American Traditions Native American Church Native American Church Summary: The Native American Church of Jesus Christ is a spiritual movement that integrates the teachings of Christian life with the spiritual and ethical traditions of various Native cultures. A central component of the Native American Church is the sacramental ingestion of peyote during peyote meetings. In 1990, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the ritual ingestion of peyote is not a legally protected practice, despite its religious significance. The Native American Church of Jesus Christ is the full name of a widespread spiritual movement that integrates the teachings of Christian life with the spiritual and ethical traditions of various Native cultures regarding the sacramental ingestion of peyote. For some participants, the Christian context is important, but for others the Native American Church is much more an affirmation of Indian religious identity. While the visionary effect of the peyote cactus button has captured the imagination of many psychedelic spiritual seekers, it is critical that those who would understand the ceremonial use of peyote situate this sacramental tradition within the rigorous ethical way of life taught by the Native American Church. Many church members believe that a narrow perception of peyote as simply an hallucinogen or “drug” informed the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1990 decision in Employment Division of Oregon v. Smith. In the Smith case, two Native Americans had been fired from their state jobs in Oregon because they participated in a peyote ceremony of the Native American Church. Peyote had been listed as a proscribed drug in the state.

  • A Review of a Culture's Catalyst: Historical Encounters with Peyote and the Native American Church in Canada
    IK: Other Ways of Knowing Book Review A Review of A Culture’s Catalyst: Historical Encounters with Peyote and the Native American Church in Canada Book Review by Kevin Feeney PhD. JD, Central Washington University A Culture’s Catalyst: Historical Encounters with Peyote and the Native American Church in Canada by Kahan, Fannie, edited by Erika Dyck. 2016. Winnipeg, MB: University of Manitoba Press. 130 pp. Paperback $27.95. ISBN 978-0887558146 doi 10.18113/P8ik360543 Fannie Kahan’s new book, A Culture’s Catalyst, provides a novel glimpse into an era when psychedelic research was at its peak, and when social fears about psychedelics were limited to the imagined orgies of peyote cults. Kahan’s original manuscript was completed back in 1963, but failed efforts at finding a publisher left the book gathering dust in the archives of the author’s brother, Abram Hoffer. The manuscript remained buried in papers until it was uncovered by historian Erika Dyck during investigations on the history of psychedelic research in Canada. Dyck has brought this manuscript to light by editing it for clarity and uniformity, and providing an in-depth introduction contextualizing Kahan’s work within the political landscape of the 1950s and early 1960s. Kahan’s book is largely built around a Native American Church peyote ceremony held during 1956 in North Battleford, Sasketchewan. A handful of White scientists attended the ceremony, including book contributors Duncan Blewett, Abram Hoffer, Humphry Osmond, and Teodoro Weckowicz. Kahan, who is a journalist by training, has assembled and presented what might best be characterized as a defense of peyotism, the religious use of peyote, with a text that veers between reporting and editorializing.

  • A Long Strange Trip: Latin America's Contribution to World Drug Culture
    e l e v e n A Long Strange Trip latin america’s contribution to world drug culture Paul Gootenberg Perhaps it’s risky, even foolhardy, for a historian to suggest that drugs are one of Latin America’s enduring contributions to world culture. Today, “drugs” mostly conjures up cocaine, meth, addiction, corruption, traf- fickers, DEA drug wars, and the unfathomably brutal bloodletting along the northern borders of Mexico. It also suggests the unfortunate tendency of (North) Americans to blame their intemperate desires for consuming drugs on evil foreigners, the Pablo Escobars and Chapo Guzmáns, or wily “cartels” (a term that makes specialists cringe). It also serves to sweep under the rug the complicity of our institutions and badly conceived drug laws and policies— namely, global drug prohibition—in igniting the kinds of mayhem that have afflicted places like Colombia, Peru, and Mexico in recent decades. So, here, I’d like to step back and suggest as a corrective a few less sensationalistic, less ahistorical, less U.S.-centric points: the richer, longer cornucopia of mind- altering goods the Americas have offered the world; some of the changing historical entanglements of these drugs with global culture; and, most recently, promising new shifts, coming from the Global “South,” on how to rethink our bellicose current posture on illicit drugs. This long trip through hemispheric drugs is rich in historical ironies. psychedelic civilizations Thousands of years ago, prehistoric Americans invented what the ethnobota- nist Winston LaBarre termed the “American drug complex,” the world’s wid- est and wildest menu of psychotropic drugs.
