No full textRobert J. Conley said that Crazy Snake: “is a Creek story, historical novel. I wouldn’t have written about Creeks except I had a Choctaw friend who asked me to write the book so I did. Crazy Snake is based on an important Creek figure of the Indian Territory days. He led a bunch of Creeks who were resisting allotment. This book is respectfully dedicated to the memory of Louis ‘Littlecoon’ Oliver and to Knokovtee Scott and all other descendants of the Loyal Creeks.

A Matter of Perspective: An Examination of the Patient-Physician Relationship
No full textDaniella Conley titles her carefully orchestrated analysis of the multi-faceted patient-physician relationship “An Unbalanced Understanding,” and takes her epigraph from Anatole Broyard‘s classic text in Medical Humanities, “The Patient Examines the Doctor”: “To the typical physician, my illness is a routine incident in his rounds, while for me it‘s the crisis of my life.” One of the great strengths of her analysis is precisely the balance she herself maintains in considering this critical relationship from a number of angles: medical student as well as patient and physician; successes in medical communication as well as failures. Her thoughtful, lucidly written essay also adeptly weaves together examples from a range of texts, including some Daniella was led to by her own independent research and intellectual curiosity. The essay is a model of reading across and through disciplinary formations in the rapidly growing interdisciplinary field of literature and health studies.—Dr. Marjorie Ston
Australia lags world's best practice in alcohol consumption
No full textNew figures throw fresh light on how much Australians really do drink, writes Tom Conley at Big P Political Economy
•
AUSTRALIANS like to think of themselves as world class drinkers. Talking about getting drunk on the weekend must dominate a good percentage of workplace conversations on Monday morning (and perhaps for other mornings of the week). I always remember my manager at the drive-in bottle-o I worked in from the time I was 18 rolling his eyes at one customer\u27s story about how much he\u27d drunk the night before, before turning to me and saying "anyone would think it was hard work getting drunk the way that guy goes on about it". Quite. Mind you he was a big drinker himself, he just didn\u27t think it was worth going on about, probably because it was such a regular occurrence…

No full textWith its poetic lilt, The Highway and Me and My Earl Grey Tea beckons with the lure of travel, comforting drink in hand. To Conservative Mennonite author Emily Smucker, it is time to explore. Her world of 28 years has been Willamette Valley, OR, a place of faith and family while dealing with West Nile Disease and finishing college. Moving beyond the educational structure to pursue a career in writing posed new questions. “Where should I live? Where do I belong? What is my purpose? What is my identity?” [First paragraph.

Review of \u3ci\u3eCherokee Thoughts: Honest and Uncensored\u3c/i\u3e By Robert J. Conley
No full textIt is often said that if you present fifty Cherokees with a given proposition, you\u27ll get fifty-one opinions about how best to proceed. Cherokee Thoughts captures the humor, complexity, and contention embedded in such aphorisms. Careful to emphasize that the volume speaks neither for all Cherokees nor for any Cherokee government, Robert J. Conley engages a variety of contemporary tribally specific conversations, ranging-in no particular order-from the highly contentious issues of Cherokee citizenship, identity, and the freedman debates, to thoughts on tribal specific historical fiction and intellectual production ( Cherokee Literature, Tribally Specific Historical Fiction, John Oskison and Me ), to Cherokee celebrities/ outlaws, Indian gaming, and Oklahoma history, to list but a few. Perhaps better known for his Cherokee historical fiction and his popular history, The Cherokee Nation (2005), Conley traverses and often collapses generic boundaries, weaving together family narratives with short fiction ( Ricochet ), oral tradition with legal and popular discourses ( Indian Casinos, Cherokees and Sports ), and historical analysis with personal, often scathing-but always wryly humorous-editorial commentary ( Cherokee Outlaws, California Cherokees, Henry Starr )
