The letter killeth but the spirit giveth life. In Nietzshe's sense of the word "truth," the heart weighs more than an archive-full of paper. History is bunk in any case. Paper can lie, and in support of the ruling class it usually does. Freedom is a kind of truth; fact may well be a kind of oppression.

I have never heard the term "Occult Imperialism" before (I'm not an historian, but I've read and studied Shakespeare's Tempest and don't recall hearing that term.) One of the essays theorizes that the lost colonists of Roanoke weren't "lost" at all; that they left a message carved in a tree "Gone to Croatoan," where they became part of a mixed-race population that still remains in the Dismal Swamp area. Interesting .

A very interesting collection of oral histories of "drop-out" cultures in early U.S. history. Focus seems to be on multicultural/mixed race/mixed ethnicity groups seeking to be recognized as "native American" So far, it's proving to be more of a sleep aid than a page-turner . . .
