Ashland, OR, February 27, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Ghost Rider Roads
American Indian Movement 1971-2011 collected/by Antoinette Nora Claypoole is newly released and available online at wildembers.com, amazon.com and at bookstores everywhere (dist. by Ingram).
A collection of work compiled/created by Antoinette Nora Claypoole, Ghost Rider Roads chronicles the American Indian Movement’s history, controversy and current demands for the release of Leonard Peltier, an old AIM warrior, and political prisoner of the U.S.
Ghost Rider Roads chronicles Antoinette's work /sojourn in and through the American Indian Movement (AIM) over the past two and a half decades and is dedicated her old friend/uncle, Dave Chief, Lakota (1929-2005), Oglala Lakota.
This project was initially a collaboration between Antoinette Nora Claypoole and AIM activist Robert Robideau (RIP). His sudden death in Barcelona, Spain (Feb. 2009) created a gap in the project, which is now, finally, healed. Writings, previously unpublished, about early AIM, written by Robideau--stories he intended to have in the collection--are included.
Over 500 pages long, the project also includes Antoinette's previously unpublished "mini" interview with old AIM leader and notorious native Poet, John Trudell (early 1990's), Antoinette's Anna Mae Aquash murder trial coverage (2004-2011), writings by Delaney Bruce of the Peltier Defense Offense Committee, a news piece about the FBI shootout on Pine Ridge by infamous “yippies” Judy Gumbo and Stew Albert (1975) and current essays by Ben Carnes, Choctaw AIM activist. Black and white graphics in the book are by Dan Wahpepah, Ojibway. Excerpts from the book can be found on wild embers press website or by visiting amazon.com.
Praise for the book;
“Ghost Rider Roads is a highly comprehensive book of American Indian History. This work is a series of stories that are a brilliant, detailed, lively history of American Indians in their struggles to stay alive. A book for those who want to hear first-hand accounts of what has happened, and continues to happen, in Indian Country.
Very powerful. antoinette nora claypoole sings the song she learned in her dreamtime.”
