By Marisol Berríos-Miranda, Shannon Dudley, and Michelle Habell-Pallán Translated by Angie Berríos Miranda December 2017 American Sabor traces the substantial musical contributions of Latinas and Latinos in American popular music between World War II and the present. With side-by-side Spanish and English text, authors and UW teachers Marisol Berríos-Miranda, Shannon Dudley and Michelle Habell-Pallán show the many ways in which Latinx musicians and styles—including jazz, rhythm and blues, rock, punk, hip hop, country, Tejano, and salsa—connect U.S. culture to the culture of the broader Americas.

Before Yellowstone: Native American Archaeology in the National Park By Douglas H. MacDonald February 2018

Douglas MacDonald tells the story of 11,000 years of Native American archaeology as revealed by research into nearly 2,000 sites—many of which he helped survey and excavate. He describes and explains the significance of archaeological areas such as the easy-to-visit Obsidian Cliff, where hunters obtained volcanic rock to make tools and for trade, and Yellowstone Lake, a traditional place for gathering edible plants. MacDonald helps readers understand the archaeological methods used and the limits of archaeological knowledge. From Clovis points associated with mammoth hunting to stone circles marking the sites of tipi lodges, “Before Yellowstone” brings to life a fascinating story of human occupation and use of this stunning landscape.
