American Dude Ranch

A Touch of the Cowboy and the Thrill of the West By Lynn Downey Viewers of films and television shows might imagine the dude ranch as something not quite legitimate, a place where city dwellers pretend to be cowboys in amusingly inauthentic fashion. But the tradition of the dude ranch, America’s original western vacation, is much more interesting and deeply connected with the culture and history of the American West. In American Dude Ranch, Lynn Downey opens new perspectives on this buckaroo getaway, with all its implications for deciphering the American imagination. Dude ranching began in the 1880s when cattle ranches ruled the West. Men, and a few women, left the comforts of their eastern lives to experience the world of the cowboy. But by the end of the century, the cattleman’s West was fading, and many ranchers turned to wrangling dudes instead of livestock. What began as a way for ranching to survive became a new industry, and as the twentieth century progressed, the dude ranch wove its way into American life and culture. Wyoming dude ranches hosted silent picture shoots, superstars such as Gene Autry were featured in dude film plots, fashion designers and companies like Levi Strauss & Co. replicated the films’ western styles, and novelists Zane Grey and Mary Roberts Rinehart moved dude ranching into popular literature. Downey follows dude ranching across the years, tracing its influence on everything from clothing to cooking and showing how ranchers adapted to changing times and vacation trends. Her book also offers a rare look at women’s place in this story, as they found personal and professional satisfaction in running their own dude ranches. However contested and complicated, western history is one of America’s national origin stories that we turn to in times of cultural upheaval. Dude ranches provide a tangible link from the real to the imagined past, and their persistence and popularity demonstrate how significant this link remains. This book tells their story—in all its familiar, eccentric, and often surprising detail. Lynn Downey is an independent writer, archivist, and historian. She is the author of Arequipa Sanatorium: Life in California’s Lung Resort for Women and the debut novel Dudes Rush In.

NEW BOOKS SPRING/SUMMER 2022

Two overlapping memoirs exploring questions of life, death, grief, and memory

The Land and the Days

A Memoir of Family, Friendship, and Grief By Tracy Daugherty In “Cotton County,” the first of the dual memoirs in The Land and the Days, acclaimed author Tracy Daugherty describes the forces that shape us: the “rituals of our regions” and the family and friends who animate our lives and memories. Combining reminiscence, history, and meditation, Daugherty retraces his childhood in Texas and Oklahoma, where he first encountered the realities of politics, race, and class.

As a child in the early 1960s, Daugherty lived with his parents and sister in West Texas. And yet from a young age, in the author’s recounting, he was just as much at home in the small town of Walters, Oklahoma, where his grandparents lived and where he and his family often visited. A cattle and oil town just a few miles north of the Red River, Walters seemingly belonged to another realm. In sensory detail, Daugherty evokes the old-fashioned atmosphere of his grandparents’ home, the “tastes, smells, and textures: fried okra, mothballs, cotton batting—radiators and ancient typewriters.” These were things, he explains, that he experienced only in Oklahoma. The “Unearthly Archives,” the second of Daugherty’s memoirs, expands the realistic accounts of the first narrative, providing a meditation on the meaning of grief. Daugherty demonstrates his curiosity and indefatigable quest for understanding and closure by examining his life-long store of literary readings, as well as the music he loves, to discover the true value of a life dedicated to art. Whereas the first narrative explores daily family life, setting up what will be the huge loss of his parents, the second examines questions of death, grief, creativity, and the meaning of memory. As he mourns the loss of his parents, Daugherty reckons with his own mortality and finds himself confronting such fundamental questions as, How does individual consciousness develop? What can music, art, and literature teach us about life’s experiences? And finally, Is there a soul? The Land and the Days addresses these eternal questions with uncommon honesty and grace. Tracy Daugherty is Distinguished Professor of English and Creative Writing, Emeritus, at Oregon State University. He has written biographies of Joan Didion, Joseph Heller, and Donald Barthelme, as well as five novels, six short story collections, a book of personal essays, and a collection of essays on literature and writing.

For Want of Wings

A Bird with Teeth and a Dinosaur in the Family By Jill Hunting In 1872, a young graduate of Yale University named Thomas Russell unearthed the bones of an 83,000,000-year-old dinosaur in western Kansas. The rare fossil, an avian dinosaur with teeth and flightless wings, proved that birds evolved from reptiles. More than a century later, Russell’s great-granddaughter set out to retrace her ancestor’s forgotten expedition. Part detective history, part memoir, For Want of Wings is Jill Hunting’s captivating account of her journey into prehistory, national history, and family history. In her quest to piece together fragments of her family’s past, Hunting ends up crisscrossing the United States, from California to Connecticut. On her first trip across the Colorado Rockies to the fossil bed site near Russell Springs, Kansas, Hunting brings along her then twenty-six-year-old daughter. When the book opens, mother and daughter are both at crossroads, each seeking to understand the impact of personal decisions on the landscape of her life. As Hunting ventures forward, she encounters unexpected resources, such as ten-year-old triplets who converse with her about dinosaurs and a Connecticut museum where portraits of her ancestors hang on the walls. Through lively descriptions of these visits, Hunting advances a view of history as nonlinear and full of unlikely coincidences. For Want of Wings is also the carefully researched story of the least known of Yale’s four expeditions into the American West led by eminent paleontologist O. C. Marsh; the friendship between Russell’s father and abolitionist John Brown; a portrait of a mother and daughter evolving in self-understanding; and an inquiry into matters of race in American history and the author’s own family. In the end, all these pieces converge, like fragments of a fossil, to form an exquisitely patterned work of historical exploration. Jill Hunting is the author of Finding Pete: Rediscovering the Brother I Lost in Vietnam. She lives in Pasadena, California.

A family memoir illuminating an oftoverlooked chapter of the Holocaust

So They Remember

A Jewish Family’s Story of Surviving the Holocaust in Soviet Ukraine By Maksim Goldenshteyn When we think of Nazi camps, names such as Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, and Dachau come instantly to mind. Yet the history of the Holocaust extends beyond those notorious sites. In the former territory of Transnistria, located in occupied Soviet Ukraine and governed by Nazi Germany’s Romanian allies, many Jews perished due to disease, starvation, and other horrific conditions. Through an intimate blending of memoir, history, and reportage, So They Remember illuminates this oft-overlooked chapter of the Holocaust.

Miyamoto Walters $21.95x Paperback 978-0-8061-4820-5

In December 1941, with the German-led invasion of the Soviet Union in its sixth month, a twelve-year-old Jewish boy named Motl Braverman, along with family members, was uprooted from his Ukrainian hometown and herded to the remote village of Pechera, the site of a Romanian death camp. Author Maksim Goldenshteyn, the grandson of Motl, first learned of his family’s wartime experiences in 2012. Through tireless research, Goldenshteyn spent years unraveling the story of Motl, his family members, and their fellow prisoners. The author here renders their story through the eyes of Motl and other children, who decades later would bear witness to the traumas they suffered. Until now, Romanian historians and survivors have served as almost the only chroniclers of the Holocaust in Transnistria. Goldenshteyn’s account, based on interviews with Soviet-born relatives and other survivors, archival documents, and memoirs, is among the first full-length books to spotlight the Pechera camp, ominously known by its prisoners as Mertvaya Petlya, or the “Death Noose.” Unfortunately, as the author explains, the Pechera camp was only one of some two hundred concentration sites spread across Transnistria, where local Ukrainian policemen often conspired with Romanian guards to brutalize the prisoners. In March 1944, the Red Army liberated Motl’s family and fellow captives. Yet for decades, according to the author, they were silenced by Soviet policies enacted to erase all memory of Jewish wartime suffering. So They Remember gives voice to this long-repressed history and documents how the events at Pechera and other surrounding camps and ghettos continue to shape remaining survivors and their descendants. Maksim Goldenshteyn studied journalism at the University of Washington and has written for regional newspapers, including the Seattle Times. He now works as a publicist.

Warrior Spirit

The Story of Native American Heroism and Patriotism By Herman J. Viola Foreword by Debra Kay Mooney Contributions by Ellen Baumler, Cheryl Hughes, and Michelle Pearson For decades, American schoolchildren have learned only a smattering of facts about Native American peoples, especially when it comes to service in the U.S. military. They might know that Navajos served as Code Talkers during World War II, but more often they learn that Native Americans were enemies of the United States, not allies or patriots. In Warrior Spirit, author Herman J. Viola sets the record straight by highlighting the military service—and major sacrifices— of Native American soldiers and veterans in the U.S. armed services. American Indians have fought in uniform in each of our nation’s wars. Since 1775, despite a legacy of broken treaties, cultural suppression, and racial discrimination, indigenous Americans have continued to serve in numbers that far exceed their percentage of the general U.S. population. Warrior Spirit introduces readers to unsung heroes, from the first Native guides and soldiers during the Revolutionary War to those servicemen and -women who ventured to Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

This outstanding record of service begs a question: Why do American Indians willingly serve a country that has treated them so poorly? Native veterans invariably answer that they are a warrior people who have a sacred obligation to defend their homeland and their families. Written to be accessible to young adult readers, Warrior Spirit is a valuable resource for any reader interested in Native American military history.

Black Spokane

The Civil Rights Struggle in the Inland Northwest By Dwayne A. Mack In 1981, decades before mainstream America elected Barack Obama, James Chase became the first African American mayor of Spokane, Washington, with the overwhelming support of a majority-white electorate. Chase’s win failed to capture the attention of historians—as had the century-long evolution of the black community in Spokane. In Black Spokane: The Civil Rights Struggle in the Inland Northwest, Dwayne A. Mack corrects this oversight—and recovers a crucial chapter in the history of race relations and civil rights in America.

As early as the 1880s, Spokane was a destination for black settlers escaping the racial oppression in the South—settlers who over the following decades built an infrastructure of churches, businesses, and social organizations to serve the black community. Drawing on oral histories, interviews, newspapers, and a rich array of other primary sources, Mack sets the stage for the years following World War II in the Inland Northwest, when an influx of black veterans would bring about a new era of racial issues. His book traces the earliest challenges faced by the NAACP and a small but sympathetic white population as Spokane became a significant part of the national civil rights struggle. International superstars such as Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong and Hazel Scott figure in this story, along with charismatic local preachers, entrepreneurs, and lawyers who stepped forward as civic leaders. These individuals’ contributions, and the black community’s encounters with racism, offer a view of the complexity of race relations in a city and a region not recognized historically as centers of racial strife. But in matters of race—from the first migration of black settlers to Spokane, through the politics of the Cold War and the civil rights movement, to the successes of the 1970s and ’80s— Mack shows that Spokane has a story to tell, one that this book at long last incorporates into the larger history of twentieth-century America. Dwayne A. Mack is Carter G. Woodson Chair in African American History and Professor of History at Berea College, author of numerous articles on African American history, and coeditor of Beginning a Career in Academia: A Guide for Graduate Students of Color.

Red Scare in the Heartland By Shirley A. Wiegand and Wayne A. Wiegand

Phoenix, Arizona, is one of the fastestgrowing metropolitan areas in the United States, but its expansion comes at the expense of its Sonoran Desert environment, and for some residents, the American Dream has become a nightmare.

In a raid on Oklahoma City’s Progressive Bookstore in 1940, officials seized thousands of books and pamphlets and arrested twenty customers and proprietors. All were detained incommunicado and many were held for months on unreasonably high bail, causing a nationwide furor. The authors reveal how state power was used to trample individuals’ civil rights. Books on Trial is a sobering story of innocent people swept up in the hysteria of their times.

Leader of the Santee Sioux, Inkpaduta (1815–79) participated in some of the most decisive battles of the northern Great Plains, including Custer’s defeat at Little Bighorn. But the 1857 attack on forty white settlers, known as the Spirit Lake Massacre, gave Inkpaduta the reputation of the most brutal Sioux leader. Inkpaduta: Dakota Leader reexamines stereotypes and shatters myths, showing this courageous warrior also to have been dedicated family man and tribal leader who got along with whites for most of his life. Long considered a villain whose passion was murdering white settlers, Inkpaduta is provided a reassessment of his life in Beck’s thorough biography. Paul N. Beck is Professor of History at Wisconsin Lutheran College, Milwaukee, and author of The First Sioux War: The Grattan Fight and Blue Water Creek, 1854–1856 and Columns of Vengeance: Soldiers, Sioux, and the Punitive Expeditions, 1863–1864.

“The storyteller’s gift is my inheritance,” writes Rudolfo Anaya in “Shaman of Words.” Best known for Bless Me, Ultima and other novels, in these 52 essays Anaya draws on both his Mexican American heritage and his gift for storytelling. Tackling the issues of censorship, racism, education, and sexual politics, Anaya explores the tragedies and triumphs of his life.

In this innovative collection, Louis Owens blends autobiography, short fiction, and literary criticism to reflect on his experiences as a mixedblood Indian in America. In sophisticated prose, Owens reveals the many timbres of his voice—humor, humility, love, joy, struggle, confusion, and clarity.

His family believed his body was never recovered, but in 1995 they learned Tony was buried at Arlington National Cemetery, and his nephew Bob Korkuc began a quest to learn his fate. This gripping chronicle blends wartime drama with research, as Korkuc unravels the mystery of what occurred.

The U-2 Crisis and Eisenhower’s Aborted Mission to Moscow, 1959–1960 By E. Bruce Geelhoed In August 1959, President Dwight D. Eisenhower announced he and Soviet premier Nikita S.

Khrushchev’s 1959 trip to the United States resulted in plans for a summit with Great Britain and France and Eisenhower’s 1960 visit to Russia. But in May 1960, the Soviet Union shot down an American U-2 surveillance plane piloted by Francis Gary Powers. The summit’s collapse and the cancelation of Eisenhower’s trip marked a missed opportunity for improved relations that could have led to a détente in the U.S.-Soviet relationship.

Racism and the Myth of Henry O. Flipper By Charles M. Robinson III Lieutenant Henry O. Flipper, a former slave, became the first Black graduate of West Point. While serving as commissary officer at Fort Davis, Texas, in 1881, he was charged with embezzlement and conduct unbecoming an officer. A court-martial board acquitted Flipper of embezzlement but convicted him of conduct unbecoming, and he was dismissed from the army. Flipper’s case became emblematic of racism in the frontier army, and many assumed he had been railroaded.

In this revision of his book The Fall of a Black Army Officer, Robinson finds that Flipper authored his own problems. This thorough reassessment reveals the E.

By Charles M. Robinson III General George Crook was one of the most prominent soldiers in the frontier West. General William T. Sherman called him the greatest Indian fighter the army ever had. Yet, on hearing of Crook’s death, the Sioux chief Red Cloud lamented, “He, at least, never lied to us.” Crook’s career began with successful campaigns against the Apaches, resulting in his promotion to brigadier general, but his campaign against the Lakota and Cheyennes was less successful, displaying his insight, egotism, and fear. This biography of illuminates General Crook’s life, military career, and his efforts to provide rights for American Indians. Charles M. Robinson III authored A Good Year to Die: The Story of the Great Sioux War and The Fall of a Black Army Officer: Racism and the Myth of Henry O. Flipper.

WEBB, COLLINS A TEXAN’S STORY

Twice elected to the U.S. Senate from Oklahoma, Fred L. Harris is now Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. He is the author of numerous works of fiction and nonfiction, including the novel Following the Harvest.

Guthrie produced over 3,000 songs, along with works of fiction, journalism, poetry, and visual art, giving voice to the dispossessed. Kaufman examines Guthrie’s career through the role of time and place in his evolution.

Walter Prescott Webb (1888–1963), a towering figure in Texas and western history and letters, published an abundance of books—but for decades the autobiography he’d written late in life sat largely undisturbed among his papers. Webb’s remarkable story appears here in print for the first time, edited and annotated by Michael L. Collins. This firsthand account offers readers a window on the life and work of one of the most interesting thinkers in the history, and historiography, of Texas.

KAUFMAN MAPPING WOODY GUTHRIE

A child of the Great Depression, Fred Harris grew up in Walters, Oklahoma. Describing his upbringing and initiation into state politics, Harris tells how he was elected to the U.S. Senate. Recounting political experiences, he yields insight on the turbulent 1960s and 1970s. Harris accomplished much in his distinguished career, championing human rights at home and around the world. His masterfully written memoir attests to a philosophical consistency and humane liberalism that today are all too rare.

“I ain’t got no home, I’m just a-roamin’ round,” Woody Guthrie lamented in one of his songs. An Oklahoma native, he moved to Texas in his teens, experiencing dust storms that shaped his works. After he joined thousands heading to California to escape the Dust Bowl, Guthrie entered the Popular Front, whose leftward influence continued after his 1940 move to New York. There he encountered Pete Seeger and Lead Belly.

Rodeo

Frontiers of Boyhood

An Animal History By Susan Nance

Imagining America, Past and Future By Martin Woodside

“What would rodeo look like if we took it as a record, not of human triumph and resilience, but of human imperfection and stubbornness?” asks animal historian Susan Nance. This book explores how rodeo reflects western beliefs and assumptions that have led to environmental crises. Rodeo reclaims the history of roping steers, calves, broncs, and bulls, who unknowingly built the industry, revealing how this dangerous sport expresses human failing as much as fortitude.

When Horace Greeley wrote, “Go West, young man, and grow up with the country,” the frontier was synonymous with idealized American masculinity. For Americans, raising boys right was a pivotal step in securing the nation’s future. Frontiers of Boyhood explores the ramifications of this myth through western history, childhood studies, and a rich cultural archive. Martin Woodside offers new perspectives on the compelling stories about the nation’s past and its imagined future produced by William “Buffalo Bill” Cody, “American Boy Books,” Boy Scouting, and mass-produced toys.

Indian Cities

Histories of Indigenous Urbanization Edited by Kent Blansett, Cathleen D. Cahill, and Andrew Needham From ancient metropolises like Pueblo Bonito and Tenochtitlán to the twentyfirst-century Oceti Sakowin encampment of the NoDAPL water protectors, Native people have built and lived in cities—a fact little noted in either urban or Indigenous histories. By foregrounding Indigenous peoples as city makers and city dwellers, as agents and subjects of urbanization, the essays in this volume simultaneously highlight the impact of Indigenous people on urban places and the effects of urbanism on Indigenous people and politics. The authors—Native and non-Native, anthropologists and geographers as well as historians—use the term “Indian cities” to represent collective urban spaces established and regulated by a range of institutions, organizations, churches, and businesses. These urban institutions have strengthened tribal and intertribal identities, creating new forms of shared experience and giving rise to new practices of Indigeneity. Some of the essays in this volume explore Native participation in everyday economic activities, whether in the commerce of colonial Charleston or in the early development of New Orleans. Others show how Native Americans became entwined in the symbolism associated with Niagara Falls and Washington, D.C., with dramatically different consequences for Native and non-Native perspectives. Still others describe the roles that local Indigenous community groups have played in building urban Native American communities, from Dallas to Winnipeg. All the contributions to this volume show how, from colonial times to the present day, Indigenous people have shaped and been shaped by urban spaces. Collectively they demonstrate that urban history and Indigenous history are incomplete without each other.

Haberfeld Negotiation, understood simply as “working things out by talking things through,” is often anything but simple for Native nations engaged with federal, state, and local governments to solve complex issues, promote economic and community development, and protect and advance their legal and historical rights.

As cofounder and executive director of the Indian Dispute Resolution Service, author Steven J. Haberfeld has worked with Native tribes for more than forty years to help resolve internal differences and negotiate complex transactions with governmental, political, and private-sector interests. Drawing on that experience, he combines Native ideas and principles with the strategies of “interest-based negotiation” to develop a framework for overcoming the unique structural challenges of dealing with multilevel government agencies. His book offers detailed instructions for mastering six fundamental steps in the negotiating process, ranging from initial planning and preparation to hammering out a comprehensive, written win-win agreement. With real-life examples throughout, Power Balance outlines measures tribes can take to maximize their negotiating power—by leveraging their special legal rights and historical status and by employing political organizing strategies to level the playing field in obtaining their rightful benefits. Haberfeld includes a case study of the precedent-setting negotiation between the Timbisha Shoshone Tribe and four federal agencies that resolved disputes over land, water, and other natural resource in Death Valley National Park in California. Bringing together firsthand experience, traditional Native values, and the most up-to-date legal principles and practices, this how-to book will be an invaluable resource for tribal leaders and lawyers seeking to develop and refine their negotiating skills and strategies. Steven J. Haberfeld is cofounder and former executive director of the Indian Dispute Resolution Service, Inc. He has devoted more than fifty years to working as a community organizer, mediator, negotiator, and trainer in multicultural and multiethnic settings.

Amelia Stone Quinton and the Women’s National Indian Association A Legacy of Indian Reform By Valerie Sherer Mathes Foreword by Lori Jacobson

This first full account of Amelia Stone Quinton (1833–1926) and the organization she cofounded, the Women’s National Indian Association (WNIA), offers a nuanced insight into the intersection of gender, race, religion, and politics in our shared history. Author Valerie Sherer Mathes shows how Quinton, like Helen Hunt Jackson, was a true force for reform and progress who was nonetheless constrained by the assimilationist convictions of her time. The WNIA, which Quinton cofounded with Mary Lucinda Bonney in 1879, was organized expressly to press for a “more just, protective, and fostering Indian policy,” but also to promote the assimilation of the Indian through Christianization and “civilization.” Charismatic and indefatigable, Quinton garnered support for the WNIA’s work by creating strong working relationships with leaders of the main reform groups, successive commissioners of Indian affairs, secretaries of the interior, and prominent congressmen. The WNIA’s powerful network of friends formed a hybrid organization: religious in its missionary society origins but also political, using its powers of petition and actively address public opinion. Mathes follows the organization as it evolved from its initial focus on evangelizing Indian women—and promoting Victorian society’s ideals of “true womanhood”—through its return to its missionary roots, establishing over sixty missionary stations, supporting physicians and teachers, and building houses, chapels, schools, and hospitals. With reference to Quinton’s voluminous writings—including her letters, speeches, and newspaper articles—as well as to WNIA literature, Mathes draws a complex picture of an organization that at times ignored traditional Indian practices and denied individual agency, even as it provided dispossessed and impoverished people with health care and adequate housing. And at the center of this picture we find Quinton, a woman and reformer of her time. Valerie Sherer Mathes, Professor Emerita of City College of San Francisco, is the author of Charles C. Painter: The Life of an Indian Reform Advocate, coauthor of Reservations, Removal, and Reform: The Mission Indian Agents of Southern California, 1878–1903, and the author and editor of books on Helen Hunt Jackson. Lori Jacobson is the Director of the William and Mary Writing Resources Center. Much of her scholarly work is focused on the Women’s National Indian Association.

Highlights texts on Indian Removal as forming a distinct genre

Native Removal Writing Narratives of Peoplehood, Politics, and Law By Sabine N. Meyer

During the Standing Rock Sioux protest against the Dakota Access Pipeline, an activist observed, “Forced removal isn’t just in the history books.” Sabine N. Meyer concurs, noting the prominence of Indian Removal, the nineteenthcentury policy of expelling Native peoples from their land, in Native American aesthetic and political praxis across the centuries. Removal has functioned both as a specific set of historical events and a synecdoche for settler colonial dispossession of Indigenous communities across hemispheres and generations. It has generated a plethora of Native American writings that negotiate forms of belonging—the identities of Native collectives, their proprietary relationships, and their most intimate relations among one another. By analyzing these writings in connection with domestic settler colonial, international, and tribal law, Meyer reveals their coherence as a distinct genre of Native literature that has played a significant role in negotiating Indigenous identity.

Critically engaging with Native Removal writings across the centuries, Meyer’s work shows how these texts need to be viewed as articulations of Native identity that respond to immediate political concerns and that take up the question of how Native peoples can define and assert their own social, cultural, and legal-political forms of living, being, and belonging within the settler colonial order. Placing novels in conversation with nonfiction writings, Native Removal Writing ranges from texts produced in response to the legal and political struggle over Cherokee Removal in the late 1820s and 1830s, to works written by African Cherokee writers dealing with the freedmen disenrollment crisis, to contemporary speculative fiction that links the appropriation of Native intangible property (culture) with the earlier dispossession of their real property (land). In close contextualized readings of John Rollin Ridge, John Milton Oskison, Robert Conley, Diane Glancy, Sharon Ewell Foster, Zelda Lockhart, and Gerald Vizenor, as well as politicians and scholars such as John Ross, Elias Boudinot, and Rachel Caroline Eaton, Meyer identifies the links these writers create between historical past, narrative present, and political future. Native Removal Writing thus testifies to both the ongoing power of Native Removal writing and its significance as resistance. Sabine N. Meyer is Professor of American Studies at the University of Bonn, Germany. She is the author of We Are What We Drink: The Temperance Battle in Minnesota.

American Citizenship and Constitutionalism in Principle and Practice

Edited by Steven Pittz and Joseph Postell Questions at the very heart of the American experiment—about what the nation is and who its people are—have lately assumed a new, even violent urgency. As the most fundamental aspects of American citizenship and constitutionalism come under ever more powerful pressure, and as the nation’s politics increasingly give way to divisive, partisan extremes, this book responds to the critical political challenge of our time: the need to return to some conception of shared principles as a basis for citizenship and a foundation for orderly governance. In various ways and from various perspectives, this volume’s authors locate these principles in the American practice of citizenship and constitutionalism. Chapters in the book’s first part address critical questions about the nature of U.S. citizenship; subsequent essays propose a rethinking of traditional notions of citizenship in light of the new challenges facing the country. With historical and theoretical insights drawn from a variety of sources—ranging from Montesquieu, John Adams, and Henry Clay to the transcendentalists, Cherokee freedmen, and modern identitarians—American Citizenship and Constitutionalism in Principle and Practice makes the case that American constitutionalism, as shaped by several centuries of experience, can ground a shared notion of American citizenship. To achieve widespread agreement in our fractured polity, this notion may have to be based on “thin” political principles, the authors concede; yet this does not rule out the possibility of political community. By articulating notions of citizenship and constitutionalism that are both achievable and capable of fostering solidarity and a common sense of purpose, this timely volume drafts a blueprint for the building of a genuinely shared political future. Steven F. Pittz is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Colorado–Colorado Springs and is the author of Recovering the Liberal Spirit: Nietzsche, Individuality, and Spiritual Freedom. Joseph Postell is Associate Professor of Politics at Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan.

In the Midst of Radicalism Mexican American Moderates during the Chicano Movement, 1960–1978 By Guadalupe San Miguel Jr.

The Chicano Movement of the 1960s and ’70s, like so much of the period’s politics, is best known for its radicalism: militancy, distrust of mainstream institutions, demands for rapid change. Less understood, yet no less significant in its aims, actions, and impact, was the movement’s moderate elements. In the Midst of Radicalism presents the first full account of these more mainstream liberal activists—those who rejected the politics of protest and worked within the system to promote social change for the Mexican American community.

The radicalism of the Chicano Movement marked a sharp break from the previous generation of Mexican Americans. Even so, historian Guadalupe San Miguel Jr. contends, the first-generation agenda of moderate social change persisted. His book reveals how, even in the ferment of the ’60s and ’70s, Mexican American moderates used conventional methods to expand access to education, electoral politics, jobs, and mainstream institutions. Believing in the existing social structure, though not the status quo, they fought in the courts, at school board meetings, as lobbyists and advocates, and at the ballot box. They did not mount demonstrations, but in their own deliberate way, they chipped away at the barriers to their communities’ social acceptance and economic mobility. Were these men and women pawns of mainstream political leaders, or were they true to the Mexican American community, representing its diverse interests as part of the establishment? San Miguel explores how they contributed to the struggle for social justice and equality during the years of radical activism. His book assesses their impact and how it fit within the historic struggle for civil rights waged by others since the early 1900s. In the Midst of Radicalism for the first time shows us these moderate Mexican American activists as they were—playing a critical role in the Chicano Movement while maintaining a long-standing tradition of pursuing social justice for their community. Guadalupe San Miguel Jr. is Professor of History at the University of Houston and the author of numerous articles and books on the history of Mexican American, Chicana/o, and Latina/o education, politics, and culture, including Contested Policy: The Rise and Fall of Federal Bilingual Education; Chicana/o Struggles for Education; and Tejano Proud: Tex-Mex Music in the Twentieth Century.

The Stations of the Cross in Colonial Mexico

The Via crucis en mexicano by Fray Agustin de Vetancurt and the Spread of a Devotion By John F. Schwaller Walking the Stations of the Cross, the Christian faithful re-create the Passion, following the sorrowful path of Jesus Christ from condemnation to crucifixion. While this devotion, now so popular in the Catholic Church and many Protestant denominations, first emerged in Jerusalem and began spreading through Western Europe in the fourteenth century, it did not assume its current form, and earn the Church’s formal recognition, until almost three centuries later. It was at this time, in the last decades of the seventeenth century, that a Franciscan friar in colonial Mexico translated a devotional guide to the Stations of the Cross into the native Nahuatl. This little handbook, Fray Agustin de Vetancurt’s Via crucis en mexicano, proved immensely popular, going through two editions, but survives today only in a copy made by a native scribe from Central Mexico. Reproduced here in Nahuatl and English, Vetancurt’s handbook offers unique insight into the history, the practice, and the meaning of the Stations of the Cross in the New World and the Old. With the Via crucis en mexicano as a starting point, John F. Schwaller explores the history of the development and spread of the Stations of the Cross, placing the devotion in the context of the Catholic Reformation and the Baroque, the two trends that exalted this type of religious expression. He describes how the devotion, exported to New Spain in the sixteenth century, was embraced by Spanish and natives alike. For the native Americans, Schwaller suggests, the Via crucis resonated because of its performative aspects, reminiscent of rituals and observances from before the arrival of the Spanish. And for missionaries, the devotion offered a means of deepening the faith of the newly converted. In Schwaller’s deft analysis—which extends from the origins of the devotion, to the processions and public rituals of the Mexica (Aztecs), to the text and illustrations of the Vetancurt manuscript—the Via crucis en mexicano opens a window on the practice and significance of the Stations of the Cross—and of private devotions generally—in Mexico, Hispanic America, and around the world.

The Munsee Indians

Uncommon Anthropologist

A History By Robert S. Grumet Foreword by Daniel K. Richter

Gladys Reichard and Western Native American Culture By Nancy Mattina

GRUMET THE MUNSEE INDIANS

MATTINA UNCOMMON ANTHROPOLOGIST

The first complete history of the Indians said to have sold Manhattan for $24

The Indian sale of Manhattan is a cherished legend, but few know that the Native people who made that sale were Munsees, with homelands between the lower Hudson and upper Delaware river valleys. The Munsee peoples’ story has lain unnoticed in histories of the Delaware Nation. This volume interweaves archaeological, anthropological, and archival sources to resurrect the history of this forgotten people. Robert S. Grumet rescues from obscurity Mattano, Tackapousha, Mamanuchqua, and other Munsee sachems whose influence on Dutch and British settlers helped shape American history in the mid-Atlantic heartland. Looking past the sale of Manhattan, he shows how Munsee leaders forestalled land-hungry colonists by selling small tracts whose vaguely worded titles kept courts busy—and settlers out—for more than 150 years. Revealing how Indians and settlers struggled, in land deals and other transactions, to reconcile cultural ideals with political realities, this authoritative treatment of the Munsees restores their place in history. Robert S. Grumet, anthropologist and retired National Park Service archaeologist, is a Senior Research Associate with the McNeil Center for Early American Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. His numerous publications include From Manhattan to Minisink: American Indian Place Names in Greater New York and Vicinity and First Manhattans: A History of the Indians of Greater New York. Daniel K. Richter, the Richard S. Dunn Director of the McNeil Center for Early American Studies and Roy F. and Jeannette P.

The first biography of a pathbreaking woman anthropologist in the Southwest, California, and Idaho

A trailblazer in Native American linguistics and anthropology, Gladys Reichard (1893–1955) is one of America’s least appreciated anthropologists. In her thirty-two years as founder and head of Barnard College’s anthropology department, Reichard taught that Native languages offered Euro-Americans the clearest views on North America’s first peoples, a perspective that put her at odds with other anthropologists. Her focus on Native psychology—revealed to her by Native artists and storytellers—produced a style of ethnography different from that of Margaret Mead. Despite intense pressure from her peers to conform to their theories, Reichard held firm to her humanitarian principles and methods. Her pathbreaking work in ritual and mythology; Wiyot, Coeur d’Alene, and Navajo linguistics; and folk art, gender, and language amplified her exceptional career of teaching, editing, publishing, and mentoring. Drawing on Reichard’s writings and correspondence, this book provides an intimate picture of her small-town upbringing, the professional challenges she faced in male-centered institutions, and her quietly revolutionary contributions to anthropology. Gladys Reichard emerges as she lived and worked—a far-sighted, self-reliant humanist sustained in turbulent times by the generous, egalitarian spirit that called her yearly to the far corners of the American West. Nancy Mattina holds a Ph.D. in Linguistics and is retired faculty and founder of the Writing & Learning Commons at Prescott College, Arizona.

Robert J. Bigart is Librarian Emeritus at Salish Kootenai College, Pablo, Montana. He is the author or editor of numerous publications, including Getting Good Crops: Economic and Diplomatic Survival Strategies of the Montana Bitterroot Salish Indians, 1870–1891.

In 1971, a group of tribal leaders formed the National Tribal Chairmen’s Association (NTCA) to advocate on behalf of reservation-based tribes and to counter the more radical approach of the Red Power movement. Voice of the Tribes is the first comprehensive history of the NTCA from its inception in 1971 to its 1986 disbandment. Based on archival sources and extensive interviews with prominent Indian leaders and federal officials of the period, Britten’s account offers new insights into American Indian activism and intertribal politics.

Born in the northern region of the Sierra Nevada mountains, Marie Mason Potts (1895–1978), a Mountain Maidu woman, became one of the most influential California Indian activists of her generation. In this illuminating book, Terri A. Castaneda explores Potts’s rich life story, from her formative years in off-reservation boarding schools, through marriage and motherhood, and into national spheres of Native American politics and cultural revitalization.

BRITTEN VOICE OF THE TRIBES

The years between 1875 and 1910 saw a revolution in the economy of the Flathead Reservation, home to the Salish and Kootenai Indians. In 1875 the tribes had supported themselves through hunting—especially buffalo— and gathering. Thirty-five years later, cattle herds and farming were the foundation of their economy. Providing for the People tells the story of this transformation and shows how the Salish and Kootenai tribes overcame daunting odds to maintain their independence and integrity.

Indian Land and Water in New Mexico and Texas By Malcolm Ebright and Rick Hendricks ★ Winner of the New Mexico/Arizona Book Award for History

Over five centuries of foreign rule— by Spain, Mexico, and the United States—Native American pueblos have confronted attacks on their sovereignty and encroachments on their land and water rights. How five New Mexico and Texas pueblos did this, in some cases multiple times, forms the history of cultural resilience and tenacity chronicled in Pueblo Sovereignty by two of New Mexico’s most distinguished legal historians, Malcolm Ebright and Rick Hendricks. Malcolm Ebright is a historian, an attorney, and the director of the Center for Land Grant Studies.

Native Networks and the Spread of the Ghost Dance By Justin Gage In the 1860s and 1870s, the United States government forced most western Native Americans to settle on reservations. These evershrinking pieces of land were meant to relocate, contain, and separate these Native peoples, isolating them from on e another and from the white populations coursing through the plains. We Do Not Want the Gates Closed between Us tells how Native Americans resisted this effort by building vast intertribal networks of communication, threaded together by letter writing, off-reservation visiting, and the Ghost Dance. Justin Gage is Instructor of History at the University of Arkansas, where he earned a doctorate in history. He was also a Visiting Researcher at the University of Helsinki.

Numbers from Nowhere

Reflections on American Indian History

NEW IN PAPERBACK

HENIGE NUMBERS FROM NOWHERE

NEW IN PAPERBACK

In the past sixty years a new paradigm has developed regarding the New World contact population. Proponents of this theory argue the American Indian population in 1492 was ten or twenty times greater than previous estimates. In Numbers from Nowhere, David Henige argues that the data these high counts are based on are meager and often demonstrably wrong. Drawing on primary and secondary sources, Henige illustrates the use and abuse of numerical data throughout history. He shows that extrapolation of numbers is entirely subjective, however masked it may be by arithmetic, and he questions what constitutes valid evidence in historical and scientific scholarship.

As American Indian communities face the new century, they look to the future armed with confidence in the indigenous perspectives that have kept them together thus far. Now five premier scholars in American Indian history, along with a tribal leader who has placed an indelible mark on the history of her people, show how understanding the past is the key to solving problems facing American Indians today. Edited by Albert L. Hurtado and introduced by Wilma Mankiller, this book includes the insights of scholars who have helped shape the way an entire generation thinks about American Indian history. Albert L. Hurtado is retired as Professor and Paul H. and Doris Eaton Travis Chair of Modern American History at the University of Oklahoma. He is the author of several books, including John Sutter: A Life on the North American Frontier. Wilma Mankiller was principal chief of the Cherokee Nation.

★ Makemie Award of the Presbyterian Historical Society

Histories of American Indian communities tell a predictable story about the destructive impact of missionary work on Native culture and religion. Many historians conclude that American Indian tribes who maintained a cultural identity have done so only because missionaries were unable to destroy it. In this book, Bonnie Sue Lewis relates how the Nez Perce and Dakota Indians became Presbyterians yet incorporated Native culture into their new Christian identities. She shows how Native clergy forged Christian communities based on American Indian values, kinship, and leadership. Bonnie Sue Lewis is Professor Emerita of Mission and World Christianity at the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary in Iowa.

For travelers in northern Navajo country, the desert landscape appears desolate, and the few remaining Navajo trading posts seem unimpressive. Traders, Agents, and Weavers tells the story of Navajo economic and cultural development through testimonies of traders, government agents, tribal leaders, and accomplished weavers.

Previous scholarship has offered only glimpses of Kiowa military societies. William C. Meadows now provides the most comprehensive and detailed account ever published of the ritual structures, ceremonial composition, and historical development of each society: Rabbits, Mountain Sheep, Horses Headdresses, Black Legs, Skunkberry /Unafraid of Death, Scout Dogs, Kiowa Bone Strikers, and Omaha, as well as past and present women’s groups.

By Devon A. Mihesuah ★ Winner Outstanding Book on Oklahoma History, Oklahoma Historical Society ★ Best Non-Fiction Book, Oklahoma Writer’s Federation

During the decades between the Civil War and the establishment of Oklahoma statehood, Choctaws suffered almost daily from murders, thefts, and assaults—usually at the hands of white intruders, but increasingly by Choctaws themselves. This book focuses on two previously unexplored murder cases to illustrate the intense factionalism that emerged among tribal members during those lawless years as conservative Nationalists and pro-assimilation Progressives fought for control of the Choctaw Nation. Devon Abbott Mihesuah is Cora Lee Beers Price Professor in International Cultural Understanding at the University of Kansas and the author of numerous books, including Ned Christie: The Creation of an Outlaw and Cherokee Hero.

Women in the Peninsular War The Hardest Lot of Men By Charles J. Esdaile

While some Spanish and Portuguese women became heroines, a multitude became victims. But Esdaile reveals a more complicated picture in which women experienced, responded to, and participated in the conflict in various ways: fighting against invaders, turning collaborator, or concentrating on staying alive. Esdaile examines many social spheres from pampered daughters of the nobility to cloistered members of Spain’s convents, and denizens of the Madrid slums.

Most know about the Prohibition Era and reformers, including the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU). But few are aware of how American Indian women joined forces with the WCTU to press for change. Native American women embraced social, economic, and political progress that their white WCTU colleagues supported and recognized. Maintaining Native sovereignty, self-determination, and cultural preservation, they asserted their identities as Indigenous women. Thomas J.

Rebel Colonel Ponder described the regiment as “the hardest lot of men” he’d ever run against. Betrayed by its higher commanders, the Third Minnesota was surrendered to Nathan Bedford Forrest on July 13, 1862, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Fitzharris recounts how the Minnesotans, prisoners of war, broken in spirit and morale, went home and found redemption and renewed purpose fighting the Dakota Indians. The Hardest Lot of Men gives us an authentic picture of the Third Minnesota, at once both singular and representative of its historical moment.

In League Against King Alcohol FITZHARRIS THE HARDEST LOT OF MEN

In the iconography of the Peninsular War of 1808–14, women are represented as heroines and as victims, of starvation or French brutality. Yet in history focusing on politics and military operations, they are invisible.

American and British Cavalry Responses to a New Technology, 1903–1939 By Lori A. Henning In the early twentieth century, aviation posed a crucial question to American and British cavalry: What do we do with the airplane? This book examines a critical aspect of industrial warfare and the ramifications of technological innovation and its role in the relationship between traditional ground units and emerging air forces. This interdependent relationship changed during the 1930s as aviation shifted from tactical support of ground troops toward independent strategic bombardment. Drawing on contemporary government reports, memoirs, and journals of service personnel, Henning reveals how American and British experiences with military aviation differed. Lori A. Henning is Assistant Professor of History at St. Bonaventure University in St. Bonaventure, New York.

Study of the Cold War all too often shows us the war that wasn’t fought. The reality, of course, is that many “hot” conflicts did occur, some with the great powers’ weapons and approval, others without. It is this reality, and this period of quasi-war and semiconflict, that Jonathan M. House plumbs in A Military History of the Cold War, 1962–1991, a complex case study in the Clausewitzian relationship between policy and military force during a time of global upheaval and political realignment. Jonathan M. House is Professor Emeritus of Military History at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He is widely published and the author of several books, including A Military History of the Cold War, 1944–1962 and Controlling Paris: Armed Forces and Counter-Revolution, 1789–1848.

Twenty-first-century conflicts include numerous small, assymetric, and revolutionary wars being waged around the world. Using case studies, Manwaring outlines survival lessons for leaders and national security organizations and offers a blueprint for dealing with these phenomena. Max G.

Hydraulic Mining in California

Ruling the Waters

An Open Pit Visible from the Moon

GREENLAND HYDRAULIC MINING IN CALIFORNIA

NEW IN PAPERBACK

When Europeans arrived at California’s San Joaquin Valley, they found wetlands, ponds, riparian forests, and grasslands surrounding three lakes. Pioneers and entrepreneurs diverted the waters to extract gold and irrigate farms, and laws accommodated these practices.

Powell Greenland attempts an unbiased look at this history, describing the inventions and technology that made this mining technique possible, and telling the stories of particular mines and individuals who played major roles in their operation.

Today the region is dramatically different with miles of crops, vineyards, orchards, and grazing—some of the most productive agricultural land in the world. This transformation, with its enduring consequences, is examined in this legal, social, and environmental history of western water law. Ruling the Waters explores the environmental ramifications, values, and visions that changed the economy and ecology of the American West.

Powell Greenland was a fourthgeneration Californian with a special interest in Western mining and the California Gold Rush.

Situated among the North Cascade Mountains of Washington State, in the Glacier Peak Wilderness Area, Miners Ridge contains vast quantities of copper. Kennecott Copper Corporation’s plan to develop an openpit mine there was, when announced in 1966, the first test of the mining provision of the Wilderness Act passed by Congress in 1964. An Open Pit Visible from the Moon tells the story of this historic struggle to define the contours of the Wilderness Act—its possibilities and limits. Environmental historian and writer Adam M.

This history of the Presbyterian Church in Oklahoma reveals how Oklahoma Presbyterians have responded to the demands of an evolving society, a shifting theology, and even a divided church. Beginning with the territorial period, Divided Hearts examines Presbyterian missions among the Five Tribes and explains how Presbyterians addressed slavery and the dispossession of Oklahoma’s Indians; the challenges of industrial society; depression, war, and racial injustice; and concerns of life and faith to show a church very much at work—and at home—in Oklahoma. A former history professor and university administrator, Michael Cassity is the author of three books and numerous articles. Danney Goble (1946–2007) was Professor of Letters at the University of Oklahoma and the award-winning author or coauthor of eight books about Oklahoma and Oklahomans.

Following Oklahoma’s flagship school through decades that saw six U.S. presidents, eleven state governors, and five university presidents, this second volume of The University of Oklahoma: A History documents the institution’s evolution into a complex, diverse, and multifaceted seat of learning. National and world events, state politics, campus leadership, the ever-changing student body: in triumph and defeat, in small successes and grand accomplishments, all come to varied and vibrant life in this second installment.

The hands of Cornish miners bore scars of one of the most sophisticated traditions of hard-rock mining in the world. Heirs to a perfected system of excavation and a valuable terminology, they were the world’s best hard-rock miners. These toughened “Cousin Jacks” brought generations of toilsome underground experience to the Americas from one of the oldest mining regions. Cornish miners and their families played a vital part in openingup the American West, and in the shaping of modern industrial America.

Franklin D. Roosevelt and Herbert C. Pell, Roosevelt’s appointee to the United Nations War Crimes Commission, collaborated to create an international legal protocol to prosecute Nazi officials for war crimes and genocide. Pell emerges as a force in pursuing justice and human rights, while Roosevelt’s policies reveal his commitment to postwar justice. Cox offers a nuanced understanding of the internal contradictions and contortions behind the U.S. position and how the Allies came to hold Nazis accountable for their crimes.

POLITICAL SCIENCE/LAW

The Nuremberg War Crimes Trial has become a symbol of justice, the moment when the world stood up for Europe’s Jews and human rights. This book recounts the negotiations and calculations that brought the United States and its allies to this point.

As the first well-known all-black community on the plains, Nicodemus, Kansas, became a national exemplar of black self-improvement. But Nicodemus also embodied many of the problems facing African Americans during this time. Diverging philosophies within the community, Charlotte Hinger argues, foretold the differences that continue to divide black politicians and intellectuals today.

The Trials of Earl Rogers By Michael Lance Trope

The South has been the standard focus of Reconstruction, but reconstruction following the Civil War was not a distinctly Southern experience. In the post–Civil War West, American Indians also experienced reconstruction through removal to reservations and assimilation to Christianity, and Latter-day Saints— Mormons—saw government actions to force the end of polygamy under threat of disestablishing the church. In this volume, more than a dozen contributors look anew at the scope of the reconstruction narrative and offer a unique perspective on the history of the Latter-day Saints.

Born in New York in 1869, Earl Rogers was sworn into the practice of law in California in 1897. He defended the famous and infamous, including Clarence Darrow, Police Chief Charles Sebastian (who became mayor of L.A.), real estate tycoon Colonel Griffith J. Griffith, Heavyweight Champion Jess Willard, and United Railroad chief Patrick Calhoun. Rogers tried seventy-seven murder trials, losing three. The Los Angeles newspapers made him a celebrity, but his career ended in 1918.

As California’s foremost trial lawyer, Rogers earned a fortune but died at fifty-two—a hopeless, broken-down drunk, penniless in a Los Angeles boarding house. Michael Trope is currently a Los Angeles–based trial lawyer, whose practice began in 1987 after his retirement as a sports agent.

Sweet Freedom’s Plains African Americans on the Overland Trails, 1841–1869 By Shirley Ann Wilson Moore ★ 2018 Barbara Sudler Award, History Colorado’s Association

The westward migration of nearly half a million Americans in the midnineteenth century looms large in U.S. history. Tracing the journeys of black overlanders who traveled the Mormon, California, Oregon, and other trails, Shirley Ann Wilson Moore describes in vivid detail what they left behind, what they encountered along the way, and what they expected to find in their new, western homes. Sweet Freedom’s Plains is a powerful retelling of the migration story from their perspective. Shirley Ann Wilson Moore, Professor Emerita of History at California State University, Sacramento, is the author of To Place Our Deeds: The African American Community in Richmond, California, 1910– 1963 and coeditor of African American Women Confront the West, 1600–2000.

Pedro de Alvarado and the Conquest of Guatemala, 1520–1541 By W. George Lovell, Christopher H. Lutz, and Wendy Kramer

The Soul of a Small Texas Town

LEVIN ROJO RETURN TO AZTLAN

NEW IN PAPERBACK

Long before Spanish colonizers established the “Kingdom of Nuevo México,” it existed as an imaginary world. What conquistadors sought in the 1500s was what Mesoamerican Indians who joined the conquest expeditions wanted, too: a return to the Aztecs’ mythic land of origin, Aztlan. Levin Rojo reveals how indigenous ideas helped determine where Spanish explorers went and what they conquered in northwest New Spain, thereby overturning traditional understandings of Nuevo México.

McDade, Texas, thirty-five miles east of Austin, is quintessential small-town America. McDade’s colorful history— from its founding in 1871 as a Wild West boomtown to its much quieter present day—comes to life in The Soul of a Small Texas Town. Wharton’s contemporary photographs of McDade and its residents, and his accompanying narrative, reveal growth and decline, shared family histories, traditions, crises, and celebrations. This fascinating story is also an important reflection of life in small rural towns throughout the nation. David G.

The conquest of Guatemala was brutal, prolonged and complex, fraught with intrigue and deception, and not at all clear-cut. Yet views persist of it as an armed confrontation whose stakes were evident and whose outcomes were decisive, especially in favor of the Spaniards. A critical reappraisal is long overdue. Strike Fear in the Land is an arresting saga of personalities and controversies, conveying as never before the turmoil of this pivotal period in Mesoamerican history.

Introduction to Classical Nahuatl

The Formation of Latin American Nations

Tatiana Proskouriakoff

Revised Edition By J. Richard Andrews

From Late Antiquity to Early Modernity By Thomas Ward

For years, Introduction to Classical Nahuatl has been the standard reference work for scholars and students of Nahuatl, the language used by the ancient Aztecs and Nahua Indians of Central Mexico. Accompanied by a workbook, this revised edition is updated with the latest research. Besides increasing the number of chapters (from forty-eight to fifty-seven) and including a detailed treatment of place names, this revised edition offers innovative approaches to personal names. The workbook provides exercises, an answer key, and an extensive vocabulary list.

This pioneering work brings the preColumbian and colonial history of Latin America home: rather than starting out in Spain and following Columbus and the conquistadores as they “discover” New World peoples, The Formation of Latin American Nations begins with the Mesoamerican and South American nations as they were before the advent of European colonialism. The result is a truly decolonial account of the formation and organization of Latin American nations, one that puts the indigenous perspective at its center.

Interpreting the Ancient Maya By Char Solomon Tatiana Proskouriakoff would become one of the premier scholars of Mayan civilization. Born in Siberia, her family’s visit to the United States during World War I became a relocation. Proskouriakoff excelled in art, and she entered the field of Mesoamerican archaeology in the 1930s as a draftsperson for a dig in Guatemala’s Petén rainforest. Her landmark work, An Album of Maya Architecture, combined her artistic and architectural backgrounds. In this first full-length biography, Char Solomon chronicles the life of this remarkable woman. Char Solomon, a freelance writer, researcher, and music teacher, served as a volunteer assistant to Tatiana Proskouriakoff from 1972 to 1973, when she worked on Proskouriakoff’s catalog of Maya jade.
