Teow Lim Goh
Essays exploring the Asian-American immigrant experience and history in the West
October 2022, 182 pp., 6 x 9 eBook 978-1-64769-096-0 Paper 978-1-64769-095-3 $21.95
In Western Journeys, Teow Lim Goh charts her journeys immigrating from Singapore and spending the last fifteen years living in and exploring the American West. Goh chronicles her lived experiences while building on the longer history of immigrants from Asia during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, bringing various, and often new insights to places, the historical record, and memory. These vital essays consider how we access truth in the face of erasure. In exploring history, nature, politics, and art, Goh asks, “What does it mean for an immigrant to be at home?” Looking beyond the captivating landscapes of the American West, Goh uncovers stories of the Chinese people who came to America during the exclusion era, the Indigenous peoples who have been written out of popular narratives, and the mountaineers’ merciless ambitions, among many others. She examines the links between the transcontinental railroad, the cowboy myth, and the anti-Chinese prejudice that persists today. These essays explore such subjects as the early efforts to climb Colorado’s highest peaks, the massacre of Chinese miners in Rock Springs, Wyoming, and the increasingly destructive fire seasons in the West. Goh’s essays create a complex, varied, and sometimes contradictory story of people and landscape that asks more questions than it answers. Teow Lim Goh is the author of two previous books, Islanders and Faraway Places. Her essays, poetry, and criticism have appeared in The Georgia Review, Beloit Poetry Journal, Los Angeles Review of Books, PBS NewsHour, and The New Yorker. “Western Journeys is compelling, powerful, and important. The erasure that Goh wants to combat can only be addressed one word at a time. That is the power and the pain of recovery—it is slow but once the hidden gets pulled into the light it cannot be lost again. Each of these essays is an act of hauling the past into the present, of naming what many might prefer to ignore or deny.” — Jennifer Sinor, author of Sky Songs: Meditations on Loving a Broken World and Ordinary Trauma

The Full Gospel in Zion A History of Pentecostalism in Utah
Alan J. Clark
Exploring the enduring legacy of Pentecostalism as a critical aspect of Utah history
November 2022, 288 pp., 6 x 9 14 Illustrations eBook 978-1-64769-094-6 Hardcover 978-1-64769-092-2 $95.00s Paper 978-1-64769-093-9 $34.95
In The Full Gospel in Zion, Alan J. Clark explores the dynamic history of Pentecostalism in Utah. Although the story of Pentecostalism now spans the entire globe, there is no previous study of its growth and development among the mountains and valleys of the Beehive State. This book recovers and reveals the identities of the earliest Pentecostal pioneers across the state and places the founding churches within the historical narrative of Utah religion in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Utah Pentecostals encountered a unique religious community in which to evangelize, and it presented them with unanticipated difficulties. Pentecostals were forced to interact with members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to an intimate and constant degree, owing to their large religious majority in the region. Pentecostal/Latter-day Saint interactions revealed surprising similarities in belief and unexpected obstacles in evangelism, as Latter-day Saints did not respond as other Christians did to the Pentecostal message, pushing Pentecostals to develop new approaches to establishing churches and congregations in Utah. Clark uses newspaper archives, local congregational histories, and dozens of interviews to tell the story of Utah Pentecostals presents a new and fascinating exploratione of Utah’s rich religious history during the twentieth century. Alan J. Clark holds a doctorate degree from the department of religion at Claremont Graduate University, with emphases in North American religious history, global Pentecostalism, and the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His research interests include religion in the Intermountain West, Pentecostal worship, and Latter-day Saint history in the twentieth century. “Clark provides us with a fascinating look at Pentecostalism within the unique culture of Latter-day Saints. I recommend this book to anyone who wishes to understand not only the histories and varieties of Pentecostalisms in Utah, but also their relationship to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”

“By capturing the context of Mormon/Pentecostal interactions in Utah throughout the twentieth century and the early years of the twenty-first century, Clark offers a much-needed boost and corrective. It is especially beneficial given the relative lack of serious and detailed treatment of religion in western history, aside from the singular focus on Latter-day Saint history itself. This kind of comparative religious history in the American West promises to open doors in terms of beginning to fill that void.” —James Goff, Appalachian State University
RELIGIOUS STUDIES

Examines the unique historical, practical, and scholarly relationships that Latter-day Saints have with the Bible
December 2022, 336 pp., 7 x 10 eBook 978-1-64769-099-1 Hardcover 978-1-64769-097-7 $105.00s Paper 978-1-64769-098-4 $45.00s
Like other Christian denominations, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) has been engaged in the battle for the Bible since challenges to biblical authority began to exert significant influence in America toward the end of the nineteenth century. Other believing communities have responded with various reevaluations of biblical text. Latter-day Saints have experimented with similar approaches, often taking liberal positions on biblical authority and conservative positions on history and authorship. However, Latter-day Saints accept additional scripture as well as embracing a theology notably distinct from traditional Christianity. Hence, Latter-day Saints relate to the Bible differently from other Christians, creating gaps with mainstream biblical studies. This volume bridges that gap. From comparing the Book of Mormon to the Bible or the Dead Sea Scrolls, to Mormon feminists’ biblical studies approaches to the Gospels, this volume takes a comprehensive and inclusive approach to understanding Bible scholarship’s role in Mormon history and exploring these differences for both scholars and students. A diverse group of contributors presents an accessible resource to mediate between Latter-day Saint traditions and the broader context of biblical history, literature, and scholarship. Each essay provides a synopsis of relevant major scholarly views and delivers new insights into a wide variety of Bible receptions. Taylor G. Petrey is associate professor and chair of religion at Kalamazoo College. He is the author and editor of numerous books including Tabernacles of Clay: Gender and Sexuality in Modern Mormonism and Resurrecting Parts: Early Christians on Desire, Reproduction, and Sexual Difference. Cory Crawford is associate professor of biblical studies at Ohio University. He is the author of numerous articles and chapters on Bible and Ancient Near Eastern culture in Vetus Testamentum, Harvard Theological Review, and more.

Eating Our Way through the Anthropocene Jessica Fanzo
Food systems and climate change

Originally delivered as the Stegner Lecture at the 2020 annual symposium of the Wallace Stegner Center for Land, Resources and the Environment, Jessica Fanzo here explores how, in the context of the broad global trends of population growth, climate crisis, and inequitable food availability, food systems need to be re-oriented to ensure they can produce enough food to nourish the world. This re-orientation includes moving toward onfarm sustainable food production practices, decreasing food loss and waste, addressing poverty by creating jobs and decent livelihoods, and providing safe, affordable, and healthy diets for everyone. At the same time, food systems must decrease the pressure on biodiversity loss, conserve land and water resources, minimize air and water pollution, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. This is a lot to ask of an entrenched system. Food policy is central to changing systems, and bold policies must be applied to accelerate and incentivize economic, societal, and technological transformations towards a more socially just and sustainable global food system. But policy decisions come with synergies, trade-offs, and sometimes unexpected consequences. In a world of uncertainty, we must seek global solutions to human and planetary health. Jessica Fanzo is the Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Global Food Policy and Ethics and vice dean of Faculty Affairs at the Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) at Johns Hopkins University. She is the editor-in-chief for Global Food Security and since 2017 has served on various advisory groups including the Food Systems Economic Commission, the Global Nutrition Report, the Global Panel of Agriculture and Food Systems for Nutrition Foresight 2.0 report, the UN High-Level Panel of Experts on Food Systems and Nutrition, and the EAT-Lancet Commission. She is the author of Can Fixing Dinner Fix the Planet? published by Johns Hopkins University Press in 2021.

The world is at a critical moment, when humans must grapple with thinking about the planet’s oceans from ecological, physical, social, and legal perspectives. Warming ocean temperatures, changing currents, cultural displacement, Indigenous resilience, melting polar ice, habitat loss, are but a few of the global issues reflected in the planetary ocean as a front line in the unfolding drama of climate change. Re-Envisioning the Anthropocene Ocean brings together leading scientists, lawyers, humanists, and Indigenous voices to tell of the ocean’s precarious position in the twenty-first century. The contributors affirm that the planetary ocean is crucial to our well-being and overdue for a positive change in public action to enhance the world’s resilience to climate change, ocean acidification, and other stressors. These essays begin that crucial work of positively re-imagining the ocean in the Anthropocene. This volume brings diverse perspectives to the planet’s ocean future. New essays are contextualized with narratives woven from earlier ocean writers, showing readers how past perceptions of the ocean have led us to where we are today in terms of both problems and potential new visions. In this one volume, readers experience both the history of humanity’s multi- and interdisciplinary interactions with the ocean, find new perspectives on that history, and discover ideas for looking forward. Robin Kundis Craig is the Robert C. Packard Trustee Chair in Law at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law. Her research areas include climate change adaptation and ocean and coastal law. She has authored, coauthored, or edited twelve books, including The End of Sustainability: Resilience and the Future of Environmental Governance in the Anthropocene and Comparative Ocean Governance: Place-Based Protections in an Era of Climate Change. Jeffrey Mathes McCarthy is director of the environmental humanities graduate program at the University of Utah and professor in the Honors College. He is the author of three books focusing on environmental literature: Contact: Mountain Climbing and Environmental Thinking; Green Modernism: Nature and the English Novel; and Conrad and Nature. “The book makes a unique contribution in bringing together thinkers across a wide range of disciplines, from oceanography to law to literary criticism. There are a number of new voices contributing insights into ocean management, ocean protection, and ocean narrative.” — Anastasia M. Telesetsky, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo
“This collection is unique and innovative in coordinating the knowledge of scholars from the sciences and the humanities, as well as notably in highlighting the importance of a legal perspective. The writing is engaging and replete with pithy citations along with memorable, helpful details. Re-Envisioning the Anthropocene Ocean is at once enjoyable, sobering, and thought-provoking.” — Margaret Cohen, Stanford University

Earth Ovens and Desert Lifeways 10,000 Years of Indigenous Cooking in the Arid Landscapes of North America
Edited by Charles W. Koenig and Myles R. Miller
The first geographically broad compilation of earth oven studies
January 2023, 236 pp., 7 x 10 31 b/w and 30 color Illustrations eBook 978-1-64769-116-5 Hardcover 978-1-64769-114-1 $80.00s
For over 10,000 years, earth ovens (semi-subterranean, layered arrangements of heated rocks, packing material, and food stuffs capped by earth) have played important economic and social roles for Indigenous peoples living across the arid landscapes of North America. From huntergatherers to formative horticulturalists, sedentary farmers, and contemporary Indigenous groups, earth ovens were used to convert inedible plants into digestible food, fiber, and beverages. The remains of earth ovens range from tight, circular clusters of burned rocks, generally labeled “hearths” by archaeologists, to the massive accumulations of fire-cracked rock referred to as earth oven facilities, roasting pits, or burned rock middens. All such features are common across the arid and semi-arid landscapes that stretch from Texas to California and south into Mexico. Despite the long-term ubiquity and broad spatial and cultural distribution of earth ovens from late Paleoindian times until today, these features have earned relatively little attention in the way of directed archaeological research, and remain an under-studied aspect of Indigenous lifeways. This edited volume explores the longevity and diversity of earth oven baking and examines the subsistence strategies, technological organization, and social contexts within which earth ovens functioned. It serves as the first compilation of these studies from such a broad geographic area, reflecting an array of promising research that highlights ongoing efforts to understand the archaeological record of earth ovens. Charles W. Koenig is a North American archaeologist specializing in earth oven technology, rock art documentation, and Structure from Motion (SfM) photogrammetry.

People and Environmental Change in the Protohistoric and Early Historic Americas

Nuanced environmental change as the result of human modification and abandonment of landscapes
November 2022, 194 pp., 7 x 10 34 Illustrations eBook 978-1-64769-107-3 Hardcover 978-1-64769-105-9 $65.00s
The record of human impact on world environments is undeniable; scholarship has shown that the ecosystems we live in today are structured by human behavior. Equally undeniable is the fact that events such as war, disaster, disease, or economic decay have, at various times throughout history, led to the human abandonment of particular environments. What happens to a human-structured environment when the way people use it suddenly changes? In Questioning Rebound, authors Emily Lena Jones and Jacob L. Fisher explore the archaeological record of a time when the human footprint on the land abruptly shifted: the period immediately following European contact in the Americas. During this time of disease-driven mortality, genocide, incarceration, and forced labor of Indigenous peoples, American landscapes changed in fundamental ways, producing short-lived ecosystems that later became the basis of myths about the American environments. Questioning Rebound explores the record and the causes of environmental change during the post-Columbian period, featuring case studies throughout the Americas. While both the record for and the apparent causes of the changes in the human footprint vary, the record of postColumbian environmental change consistently reflects the environmental impacts of past social upheaval. Emily Lena Jones is associate professor of anthropology and faculty associate of the Latin American and Iberian Institute and Center for Stable Isotopes at the University of New Mexico. She is the author of In Search of the Broad Spectrum Revolution in Paleolithic Southwest Europe. She studies past humanenvironment interactions through the lens of archaeological animal remains, with a particular interest in the connections between humans, non-human animals, and environmental change.

Fluted Points of the Far West Michael F. Rondeau
A ready reference to current fluted point research across the West
November 2022, 244 pp., 7 x 10 51 Illustrations eBook 978-1-64769-111-0 Hardcover 978-1-64769-113-4 $70.00s
Fluted Points of the Far West provides the first large scale overview of fluted points in the far western United States, including details of their attributes, the production trends, and their range of variability. It serves as a compendium of groundbreaking research by the California Fluted Lanceolate Uniform Testing and Evaluation Database (CalFLUTED) project. Details regarding size, morphology, toolstones, basal flaking technology, breakage patterns, repair patterns, manufacturing (as revealed by unfinished fluted bifaces), margin grinding, and flute scratching are provided through this research, both in terms of general trends and noteworthy exceptions. Designed as a ready reference, these data are also summarized for each of the four sample states (California, Nevada, Oregon, Utah). Summaries introduce the history and circumstances of fluted point studies by state, a list of references for each state used in the CalFLUTED study reports, a comprehensive listing of the relevant CalFLUTED study reports, and a breakdown by state of fluted point attribute details as listed above. Reviews and discussions cover a range of topics, including classification of fluted points, identifying flute scars, and traits that indicate a fluted point is not from the prehistoric Far West. Additional discussions cover hafting alternatives, fluted point dating, far western fluted point typology, and the likely direction of further research on a range of fluted point topics. Michael F. Rondeau has worked as research director of the Archaeological Study Center at the California State University, Sacramento, as an archaeologist for the Office of Historic Preservation within the California State Department of Parks and Recreation, and for the California State Department of Transportation. He is currently the sole proprietor of Rondeau Archeological in Sacramento.

This volume presents a far-ranging conversation on the topic of Hohokam platform mounds in the history of the southern Arizona desert, exploring why they were built, how they were used, and what they meant in the lives of the farmers who built them. Vapaki brings together diverse theoretical approaches, a mix of big-picture and tightly focused perspectives, coverage of the variation in mounds that provides depth for specialists, breadth for those working in other areas and on other topics, and a rich corpus of research ideas and theoretical perspectives. Contributors grapple with questions about platform mounds, including the social, political, ideological, symbolic, and adaptive factors that contributed to their development, spread, and eventual cessation. The differing perspectives presented here about what motivated Ancestral O’Odham populations of the Hohokam Period to build these monuments, whether as displays of status, identity, political ability, membership in regional networks, and as architectural models of the cosmological order, offer insights to researchers studying monumental architecture in other contexts. O’Odham knowledge of the history and uses of mounds is combined with archaeological data to understand the place of platform mounds in the lives of the Ancestors and as a continuing presence among their modern descendants.

For most of our existence, humans have used stone as a primary resource for survival. Stone tools are generally resistant to degradation, and consequently comprise a large amount of the material culture found at archaeological sites worldwide. Recovery of stone tools during archaeological excavation indicates the location where they were discarded, often tied to where they were used. Determination of where the raw materials to produce those tools came from, or “sourcing” and the path it took to reach that ultimate destination, offers insight into trade and procurement patterns. The scholars gathered in this volume employ a variety of unique and novel approaches to real-life contexts in multiple geographic regions. These studies illustrate the numerous, robust options available to archaeologists and researchers today, as well as the problems that must be faced and resolved. The first section focuses on technological aspects of sourcing, presenting a specific method of chemical analysis and, often, avenues for improving it. The second section focuses on region-specific and methodological sourcing applications. A concluding review by Michael Glascock critiques each of the chapters and presents his views on sourcing raw materials gained over 40 years of experience in the field. Broadly, these contributions demonstrate how a more thorough knowledge of lithic sources, geologic processes, the nature of variation, and regional availability can provide a more thorough understanding of past peoples. Charles A. Speer is an associate professor of anthropology at Idaho State University and is the curator of anthropology at Idaho Museum of Natural History. Ryan M. Parish is an associate professor of archaeology at the University of Memphis. Gustavo Barrientos is a professor of archaeology at the National University of La Plata and principal researcher of the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET), Argentina. “The studies presented in this volume demonstrate creativity and a depth of thought rarely found in many lithic-sourcing studies, and this volume will be a welcome addition to anyone interested in connecting stone artifacts to their sources.” —Matthew T. Boulanger, Southern Methodist University
“The editors and authors of this volume are to be commended. It was fascinating to see so many different approaches to the issue of lithic provenance analysis, and to see the many different stages at which these programs of research are established globally.” —Rachel ten Bruggencate, University of Manitoba

The institutional Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints prefers to pretend they don’t exist, that they can choose their way out of who they are, leave, or at least stay quiet in a community that has no place for them. Even queer Mormons don’t know what to do about queer Mormons. Their lived experience is shrouded by a doctrine in which heteronormative marriage is non-negotiable and gender is unchangeable. For women, trans Mormons, and Mormons of other marginalized genders, this invisibility is compounded by social norms which elevate (implicitly white) cisgender male voices above those of everyone else. This collection of essays gives voice to queer Mormons. The authors who share their stories—many speaking for the first time from the closet—do so here in simple narrative prose. Their stories bravely convey what it means to be queer, Mormon, and marginalized—what it means to have no voice and yet to speak anyway. eBook 978-1-64769-080-9 Paper 978-1-64769-079-3 $24.95
A Documentary and
Genealogical History of Black Utah Territory, 1847–1862
FEATURED BACKLIST
Designated in 2016 by President Obama and reduced by 85 percent of its original size one year later by President Trump, Bears Ears National Monument continues to be a flash point of conflict between ranchers, miners, environmental groups, states’ rights advocates, and Native American activists. In this volume, Andrew Gulliford synthesizes 11,000 years of the region’s history to illuminate what’s truly at stake in this conflict and distills this geography as a place of refuge and resistance for Native Americans who seek to preserve their ancestral homes, and for the descendants of Mormon families who arrived by wagon train in 1880. The book describes how the national monument came about and its deep significance to five native tribes. Bears Ears National Monument is a bellwether for public land issues in the American West. Its recognition will be a relevant topic for years to come.
I Spoke to You with Silence
An Akan proverb says, “It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten.” This belief underlies historian Amy Tanner Thiriot’s work in Slavery in Zion. The total number of those enslaved during Utah’s past has remained an open question for many years. Due to the nature of nineteenth-century records, particularly those about enslaved peoples, an exact number will never be known, but while writing this book, Thiriot documented around one hundred enslaved or indentured Black men, women, and children in Utah Territory. Using a combination of genealogical and historical research, the book brings to light events and relationships misunderstood for well over a century. Although this book contains material applicable to legal history and the history of race and Mormonism, its most important goal is to be a treasury of the experiences of Utah’s enslaved Black people so their stories can become an integral part of the history of Utah and the American West, no longer forgotten or written out of history. eBook 978-1-64769-086-1 Hardcover 978-1-64769-084-7 $95.00s Paper 978-1-64769-085-4 $39.95

Archaeological Records Edited by John W. Ives and Joel C. Janetski From 1930 to 1931, Julian Steward recovered hundreds of well-worn moccasins, along with mittens, bison robe fragments, bows, arrows, pottery, bone and stone tools, cordage, gaming pieces, and abundant faunal remains, making Utah’s Promontory Caves site one of the most remarkable hunter-gatherer archaeological records in western North America. Although Steward recognized that the moccasins and other artifacts were characteristic of the Canadian Subarctic and northern Plains and not the Great Basin, his findings languished for decades. This volume connects Steward’s work with results from new excavations in Promontory Caves 1 and 2 and illustrates that the early Promontory Phase resulted from an intrusive large-game hunting population very different from nearby late Fremont communities. In these records lies the seeds for the intensive Plains-Puebloan interactions of the centuries that followed. eBook 978-1-64769-067-0 Hardcover 978-1-64769-066-3 $75.00s

Southeastern New Mexico
The Basketmaker presence in southern Utah has traditionally been viewed as peripheral to developments originating in the Four Corners region. Far Western Basketmaker Beginnings offers an entirely new and provocative perspective—that the origins of farming on the northern Colorado Plateau are instead found far to the west along Kanab Creek. This volume, based on the results of excavations at Jackson Flat Reservoir south of Kanab, examines a litany of firsts: the earliest Archaic pithouses ever found in this region, evidence that maize farmers arrived here a thousand years earlier than previously reported, and the emergence of a complex Basketmaker farming and foraging culture. Specialists in Far Western Puebloan culture, architecture, settlement patterns, subsistence, chronometry, and prehistoric technologies make a compelling case that farming was introduced to the region by San Pedro immigrants, and that the blending of farmers with local foraging groups gave rise to a Basketmaker lifeway by 200 BC. eBook 978-1-64769-065-6 Hardcover 978-1-64769-064-9 $80.00s
Century AD Villages in
Jamie L. Clark and John D. Speth When one thinks about southwestern archaeology, multistoried villages and cliff-dwellings generally come to mind. But on the eastern periphery of the Southwest, where mesas and mountains give way to vast grasslands, other types of villages once thrived. In this volume, archaeologists Jamie Clark and John Speth document the lives and lifeways of the people who inhabited two of these villages—Henderson and Bloom Mound. The villagers hunted bison on the plains and exchanged meat and hides with Puebloan peoples for pottery, turquoise, marine shells, and other goods. Summarizing results from eight seasons of research, Clark and Speth document human burials and associated grave offerings from the two sites, raising questions about the nature and causes of violence that led not only to the demise of Henderson and Bloom Mound, but also to the abandonment of many other farming-hunting communities in the surrounding region. eBook 978-1-64769-054-0 Hardcover 978-1-64769-053-3 $75.00s
