University of Washington Press The Power of Promises
Book SynopsisDiscusses the legacies of the treaties with Native American groups in the Pacific Northwest and their relevance as they define our relationship to one another and to the land and its resources.Trade Review"The Power of Promises provides the reader with a complex and international understanding of treaties in the Pacific Northwest. . . . Any scholar or student of Native American history would benefit from reading and wrestling with the ideas and interpretations in this volume." -- Robert McCoy * Journal of American Ethnic History *"This volume will appeal to people interested in legal studies and Native American history and will challenge readers to rethink what they know about the region's history." -- Patricia Ann Owens * Columbia *"The Power of Promises presents the Pacific Northwest as a microcosm bringing the multiple complications of indigenous and international treaties into sharp focus. . . . [T]his collection of essays offers several surprises that make this an important touchstone for consideration of indigenous legal relationships around the Pacific Rim and beyond." * Journal of World History *"This multidisciplinary, transnational volume is a welcome addition to treaty literature in Canada and the United States…. Together these essays provide a comprehensive, thought-provoking overview of treaties in the Pacific Northwest along with fresh perspectives on their significance for indigenous-settler relations today." * BC Studies *"The Power of Promises contextualizes and breathes new understandings into the processes, perspectives, intentionalities and implications of treaty making between the Aboriginal inhabitants of the Pacific Northwest and European settlers as they negotiated their respective spaces." * BC History *"While the essays do a marvelous job defining power relations between tribal groups and western governments, the work is also exemplary in exploring power relations among tribes. This text should serve as a model for those who would produce books deriving from conference papers. It provides valuable comparative insights, for beginners and experts, into treaty and resource issues and histories across national, tribal (and disciplinary) borders in the Pacific Northwest." * Oregon Historical Quarterly *"Alexandra Harmon has pulled 11 important essays together into a useful volume to be used in Native studies, political science, and American and Canadian First Nations history.

University of Washington Press Dreaming of Sheep in Navajo Country
Book SynopsisHow the misguided policy of reducing livestock on the Navajo reservation in the 1930s is still felt today by the people and the landTrade Review"A nuanced analysis of archival documents, extant historiography, and cultural memory. . . . This is a first-rate history by one of our premier western and environmental historians." -- Jeffrey P. Shepherd * The Journal of Arizona History *"Dreaming of Sheep in Navajo Country joins a growing list of environmental histories that take the intersection of human culture and nonhuman imperatives seriously . . . What emerges is a compelling story, complicated in detail but clear in explication. The work is suited to both the uninitiated and knowledgeable reader, offering important insights on the cultural challenges of ecological restoration." * New Mexico Historical Review *"Weisiger's focus on Navajo women, in her examination into the overgrazing of tribal land and the reduction of livestock as a solution, is distinct from other literature. . . . Weisiger's analysis on the implementation of the conservation program is very insightful and also disheartening, particularly for Navajo women, who were completely ignored both by the Navajo tribal council at the time and by the federal government. . . . The information is eye-opening . . ." * Western Historical Society *"Dreaming of Sheep makes a significant contribution to scholarship on the American West. It effectively weaves together several neglected strands central to increasing our understanding of how climate change, periodic drought, land-use patterns, government interventions, and above all, the disregard of the importance of female husbandry intersected to create conditions that led to Collier's greatest failure during his tenure as commissioner of Indian Affairs (1933-45)…. With great sensitivity and insight, Weisiger evocatively demonstrates why stock reduction continues to be indelibly seared into Navajos' collective memory." * American Indian Quarterly *"The history of Navajo livestock reduction in the 1930s is well known, yet Marsha L. Weisiger offers a sophisticated reevaluation that is satisfying in both its telling and its complexity." * The Journal of American History *"Weisiger demonstrates that Navajo rangeland management needs both an ecosystem approach and a cultural understanding. Summing up: Recommended." * Choice *"Marsha Weisiger recounts a past example of scientists predicting an environmental catastrophe to a skeptical audience. Although this episode played out on the remote Colorado Plateau in the 1930s and early 1940s, it remains relevant today…. Weisiger takes great pains to understand each side's point of view, and her account deftly joins the cultural and the ecological…. Weisiger's analysis of the conflict is the first to explain the interplay of gender and ecology…. Surely, there is a lesson here for the present day." * American Scientist *"In reading this book, fiber artists will gain respect for the Navajo weavers in their efforts to weave and for their challenge in being forced to use wool that they felt was unsuitable for their work. Gardeners and botanists will surely recognize the references to plant life in the Southwestern desert, and the struggle in not allowing the pervasive plants to gain control. And those of us who love to examine history will recognize that this heartbreak could surely have been avoided through understanding, communication, and respect for nature and for the culture that thrives within it." * Shuttle, Spindle & Dyepot *Table of ContentsFOREWORD: Sheep Are Good to Think With / William Cronon Preface Acknowledgments PROLOGUE: A View from Sheep Springs PART 1: FAULT LINES 1.

Yale University Press Sovereignty for Survival
Book SynopsisIn the years following World War II many multi-national energy firms, bolstered by outdated U.S. federal laws, turned their attention to the abundant resources buried beneath Native American reservations. By the 1970s, however, a coalition of Native Americans in the Northern Plains had successfully blocked the efforts of powerful energy corporations to develop coal reserves on sovereign Indian land. This challenge to corporate and federal authorities, initiated by the Crow and Northern Cheyenne nations, changed the laws of the land to expand Native American sovereignty while simultaneously reshaping Native identities and Indian Country itself. James Allison makes an important contribution to ethnic, environmental, and energy studies with this unique exploration of the influence of America's indigenous peoples on energy policy and development. Allison's fascinating history documents how certain federally supported, often environmentally damaging, energy projects were perceived by American Indians as potentially disruptive to indigenous lifeways. These perceived threats sparked a pan-tribal resistance movement that ultimately increased Native American autonomy over reservation lands and enabled an unprecedented boom in tribal entrepreneurship. At the same time, the author demonstrates how this movement generated great controversy within Native American communities, inspiring intense debates over culturally authentic forms of indigenous governance and the proper management of tribal lands.

WW Norton & Co Thunder in the Mountains
Book Synopsis“Beautifully wrought and impossible to put down, Daniel Sharfstein’s Thunder in the Mountains chronicles with compassion and grace that resonant past we should never forget.”—Brenda Wineapple, author of Ecstatic Nation: Confidence, Crisis, and Compromise, 1848–1877Trade Review"Magnificent and tragic.… Sharfstein is a wonderful storyteller with a deep knowledge of all the relevant source material from the period. His narrative is rich with fascinating historical details." -- Nick Romeo - Christian Science Monitor"Intimate, propulsive and ultimately heart-breaking… a compassionate military history and a shrewd examination of how cultural legends are created." -- Julie M. Klein - Chicago Tribune"A brisk narrative of one of the last major collisions between Native Americans and white America. [Sharfstein’s] two main characters are complex and compelling—Chief Joseph, a thoughtful, powerful speaker who spent years trying to find a way for his people to live alongside American settlers, and General O.O. Howard, a moralistic liberal Army general whose fate it was to crush Joseph’s small Nez Perce tribe." -- Thomas E. Ricks - New York Times Book Review"Solidly researched, well-written and engaging." -- Dallas Morning News"An excellent new book.… Many of us shake our heads endlessly at the shabby treatment our ancestors rendered on Indians even as we enjoy the lands stolen from them. Would our leaders have handled the situation that much differently today? Would we object? And how does that relate to how we now treat some other oppressed people, immigrants, including refugees fleeing war-torn countries our nation has failed to help pacify? Sharfstein raises those questions well in Thunder in the Mountains." -- John Railey - Winston-Salem Journal"A thorough and well-documented work of history [that] delves into the human condition like the best fiction, offering insights not only into historical events but also into the ways people can grow and evolve." -- Memphis Commercial Appeal"Sharfstein presents his view without polemic. Indeed, the writing is lyrical—smooth and engaging, albeit with scrupulous bibliographical notes to underscore its historical authenticity.… Sharfstein shows how at each interaction with federal authorities and their texts, Joseph focused on understanding not so much the particular words as the mechanisms through which ‘authoritative’ documents were created, trying to find his way in the wilderness of American power." -- Peter d’Errico - Indian Country Today"An important book that will doubtless enjoy a broad readership among the general public and should be read by students as well as specialists interested in the Civil War era, military history, the history of the American West, and indigenous studies." -- Pacific Northwest Quarterly"Brilliant… a timeless parable of two pious men who served, led and fought with honor and dignity for their nation’s causes.… Sharfstein’s Thunder in the Mountains will resonate loudly and remind readers that basic human rights in a democracy should never be taken for granted." -- Stuart Rosebrook - True West"A good post–Independence Day read in the sense that it really does show the scope of U.S. power, who makes certain decisions about the rights of native peoples, the meaning of liberty and equality and its relationship to ethnicity, color, place, and class." -- Dana Williams - The Takeaway"Daniel Sharfstein offers a searing account of an American tragedy: how Oliver Otis Howard, a champion for the rights of freed slaves, became an architect of the dispossession and subjugation of Native people. This beautifully written book will change the way readers think about the era of Civil War and Reconstruction." -- Ari Kelman, author of A Misplaced Massacre: Struggling Over the Memory of Sand Creek

University of California Press Ties That Bind
Book SynopsisShoe Boots, a famed Cherokee warrior and successful farmer, and Doll, an African slave he acquired in the late 1790s. Over the next thirty years, Shoe Boots and Doll lived together as master and slave and also as lifelong partners who, with their children and grandchildren, experienced key events in American history.Trade Review"Tiya Miles' thorough research methodology is apparent in the crafting of this book. The end notes alone are valuable reading. In framing the story of Doll and Shoeboots in the historical account of the Cherokee Nation, Miles makes it impossible for rational people to deny the ties that bind the people that are descended from both African and Indian peoples to their nations. She has written into the historical silence that has shrouded the lives of these people and given them voice. She has also given them documentation." * American Studies *"An engaging and readable narrative . . . Tiya Miles uses [the] relationship and the lives of the descendants of Shoe Boots and Doll to illuminate larger political and social changes occurring in the Cherokee Nation throughout the nineteenth century." * Journal of Southern History *"Ties That Bind makes important contributions to Native American, African American, Southern, and Western histories. Miles exposes complicated conceptions of race in early America, encouraging readers to look beyond simple notions of Black, White, and Indian. She shifts with ease among history, anthropology, literature, and law to describe a nuanced world, charting the changing place of both Africans in the Cherokee Nation and the Cherokee Nation in America. * Journal of Social History *"The book vividly conveys how precarious were the lives of Native and African people caught up in the whirlwind of slavery, colonialism, and discourses and practices of race." * American Quarterly *"Ties That Bind is an excellent work that will be useful to students in African American studies, Native American studies, and early nineteenth century United States history." * Journal of African American Studies *"In crafting her argument, Miles draws skillfully on scholarly work in disciplines including history, anthropology, women's studies, and literature. She also taps a range of published and unpublished archival documents, such as missionary records and newspapers. In this way, she provides as complete a portrait as we are likely to get of a fascinating family and their place in American and Native American History." * Journal of Anthropological Research *Table of ContentsLIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS SHOEBOOTS FAMILY TREE PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION ACKNOWLEDGMENTS INTRODUCTION PART ONE BONE OF MY BONE: SLAVERY, RACE, AND NATION--EAST 1.

University of California Press Beyond Hawaii
Book SynopsisIn the century from the death of Captain James Cook in 1779 to the rise of the sugar plantations in the 1870s, thousands ofKanaka Maoli(Native Hawaiian) men left Hawaii to work on ships at sea and innaaina e(foreign lands)on the Arctic Oceanand throughout the Pacific Ocean, and in the equatorial islands and California.Beyond Hawaiitells the stories of these forgotten indigenous workers and how their labor shaped the Pacific World, the global economy, and the environment. Whether harvesting sandalwood or bird guano, hunting whales, or mining gold, these migrant workers were essential to the expansion of transnational capitalism and global ecological change. Bridging American, Chinese, and Pacific historiographies,Beyond Hawaiiis the first book to argue that indigenous labormore than the movement of ships and spread of diseasesunified the Pacific World.Trade Review"Rosenthal’s excellent study of the Hawaiian nineteenth-century working class from its inception to its dissolution is particularly relevant for under-standing the undercurrents of past imperialistic capitalist oppression. The ‘re-membering’ of this community is a significant step in the development of this neglected area within postcolonial studies, one which will hopefully inspire future researchers to engage in Rosenthal’s pursuit of epistemological justice." * Journal of New Zealand & Pacific Studies *Table of ContentsMaps vi Acknowledgments ix Introduction 1 1 • Boki’s Predicament 16Sandalwood and the China Trade 2 • Make’s Dance 48Migrant Workers and Migratory Animals 3 • Kealoha in the Arctic 82Whale Blubber and Human Bodies 4 • Kailiopio and the Tropicbird 105Life and Labor on a Guano Island 5 • Nahoa’s Tears 132Gold, Dreams, and Diaspora in California 6 • Beckwith’s Pilikia 166“Kanakas” and “Coolies” on Haiku Plantation Epilogue 203Legacies of Capitalism and Colonialism Appendix 209 Notes 211 Glossary 267 Bibliography 271

University of California Press Empires Tracks Indigenous Nations Chinese
Book SynopsisEmpire's Tracksboldly reframes the history of the transcontinentalrailroad from the perspectives of the Cheyenne, Lakota, and Pawnee Native American tribes, and the Chinese migrants whotoiled on its path. In this meticulously researched book, ManuKaruka situates the railroad within the violent global histories ofcolonialism and capitalism. Through an examination of legislative,military, and business records, Karuka deftly explains theimperialfoundations of U.S. political economy. Tracing the shared paths of Indigenous and Asian American histories, this multisitedinterdisciplinary study connects military occupation to exclusionaryborder policies, a linked chain spanning the heart of U.S. imperialism.This highly original and beautifully wrought book unveils how thetranscontinental railroad laid the tracks of the U.S. Empire. Trade Review"Empire’s Tracks comes at a critical juncture, which only compounds its appeal. It is a moment where monopolies breathe new life as seemingly benevolent multinational, e-commerce corporations; when oil pipelines continue to cut through North America despite opposition from Indigenous peoples (amongst others); and when threats of mass deportations emanate from the highest political offices. . . .Karuka’s sincere meditation on the historicity of war, finance and countersovereignty is deeply welcomed as it sensitises readers to the tragically unexceptional reality of the present." * LSE Review of Books *"A timely and provocative book, creating new ideas with which to re-examine the well-worn story of the railroad." * Society & Space *".Empire’s Tracks is impressive in its complexity, ambition, and ability to intertwine multiple processes in nineteenth-century continental history. Karuka concludes with a meditation on present-day U.S. imperialism and a call for Indigenous, feminist modes of decolonization: an urgent project with deep roots in Indigenous histories, cultures, and economies. Historians would do well to pay close attention." * Western Historical Quarterly *"This is an impressive piece of scholarship. While Karuka’s argument that US imperialism predates 1898 is not new, his sophisticated interdisciplinary approach sheds new light on the historical intersection of capitalism and imperialism. It will prompt readers to think critically about historical interpretation and responsibility, and the future consequences of our exploitative political economy." * Journal of Cultural Economy *"Empire’s Tracks powerfully and effectively portrays how US countersovereignty uses the railroad to stop the unraveling of its own claims to land and space through an unceasing campaign of extirpation and violence. Its contributions to critiques of settler colonialism and racial capitalism are substantial and are sure to be influential in years to come." * Lateral: Journal of the Cultural Studies Association *"Challenges existing scholarship and fields of study in profound ways. He transforms what, on its surface, appears to be a national American story into one of international, imperialist, and colonial history by reading contingency against assumed outcomes; decentering national creation myths; and foregrounding alternative Indigenous, Chinese, and other voices. In this, Karuka offers a case study for scholars of diplomatic history or international relations to turn inward to national histories they might otherwise overlook and consider new ways of bringing their expertise to seemingly domestic stories." * H-Net *"This fascinating, sophisticated book on the transcontinental railroad will produce more critical thinking on the part of readers than any railroad history they have ever read. Manu Karuka exposes the pageant of American exploration, expansion, engineering, and entrepreneurship as an imperialist project fueled by disturbing historical processes—Indigenous land expropriation, immigrant labor exploitation, and a “war-finance nexus”—but mythologized for a century thereafter as national destiny and Yankee ingenuity." * Journal of Arizona History *"Empire’s Tracks is impressive in its complexity, ambition, and ability to intertwine multiple processes in nineteenth-century continental history." * Western Historical Quarterly *"Empire’s Tracks serves as an invitation to recontextualize colonial narratives within the silences and erasures inherent in these narratives, uncovering and decolonizing communities of knowledge and relationship through the careful study of archives, rumors, oral histories, literary representations, maps, and collective memories." * Great Plains Quarterly *"Karuka provides an essential critique of U.S. political economy, adding layers to Asian settler colonial history and the Chinese railroad worker narrative." * Journal of Asian American Studies *"Karuka’s account refuses the more familiar liberal historiography of American exceptionalism that promises freedom through liberal democracy and progress through capitalist development, and in doing so, the author advances a number of bold arguments." * Native American and Indigenous Studies *Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Preface 1 • The Prose of Countersovereignty 2 • Modes of Relationship 3 • Railroad Colonialism 4 • Lakota 5 • Chinese 6 • Pawnee 7 • Cheyenne 8 • Shareholder Whiteness 9 • Continental Imperialism Epilogue: The Significance of Decolonization in North America Acknowledgments Notes Bibliography Index

University of California Press The Red Scare The States Indigenous Terrorist
Book SynopsisHow the rhetoric of terrorism has been used against high-profile movements to justify the oppression and suppression of Indigenous activists. New Indigenous movements are gaining traction in North America: the Missing and Murdered Women and Idle No More movements in Canada, and the Native Lives Matter and NoDAPL movements in the United States. These do not represent new demands for social justice and treaty rights, which Indigenous groups have sought for centuries. But owing to the extraordinary visibility of contemporary activism, Indigenous people have been newly cast as terroristsa designation that justifies severe measures of policing, exploitation, and violence.Red Scare investigates the intersectional scope of these four movements and the broader context of the treatment of Indigenous social justice movements as threats to neoliberal and imperialist social orders. In Red Scare, Joanne Barker shows how US and Canadian leaders leverage the fear-driven discourses of terrorism to allow for extreme responses to Indigenous activists, framing them as threats to social stability and national security. The alignment of Indigenous movements with broader struggles against sexual, police, and environmental violence puts them at the forefront of new intersectional solidarities in prominent ways. The activist-as-terrorist framing is cropping up everywhere, but the historical and political complexities of Indigenous movements and state responses are unique. Indigenous criticisms of state policy, resource extraction and contamination, intense surveillance, and neoliberal values are met with outsized and shocking measures of militarized policing, environmental harm, and sexual violence.Red Scare provides students and readers with a concise and thorough survey of these movements and their links to broader organizing; the common threads of historical violence against Indigenous people; and the relevant alternatives we can find in Indigenous forms of governance and relationality.Trade Review"Illuminating and interesting." * American Indian Quarterly *Table of ContentsOverview Prologue Scared Red The Murderable Indian: Terror as State (In)Security The Kinless Indian: Terror as Social (In)Stability Radical Alterities from Huckleberry Roots Acknowledgments Appendix I: A Chronology Appendix II: Cherokee Treaties and Membership/Census Rolls Notes Glossary Selected Bibliography

Book SynopsisThis is the true story of how, against all odds, a remote Mexican pueblo built its own autonomous cell phone networkwithout help from telecom companies or the government. Anthropologist Roberto J. González paints a vivid and nuanced picture of life in a Oaxaca mountain village and the collective tribulation, triumph, and tragedy the community experienced in pursuit of getting connected. In doing so, this book captures the challenges and contradictions facing Mexico's indigenous peoples today, as they struggle to wire themselves into the 21st century using mobile technologies, ingenuity, and sheer determination. It also holds a broader lesson about the great paradox of the digital age, by exploring how constant connection through virtual worlds can hinder our ability to communicate with those around us.Trade Review"A fascinating account of rural innovation." * New Scientist *"Readers will appreciate the clarity, warmth and humility of the authorial voice, which makes the book a delightful read. Gonzalez paints an empathetic picture of a community at a moment of profound change. . . . Students and teachers will find this a valuable case study for reflecting on ethnographic realities in the digital age." * PoLAR: Political and Legal Anthropology Review *"The case study demonstrates that alternatives to commercial service were possible. However, the community still depended on surrounding infrastructures as well as external technological and legal expertise.

University of California Press Cartographies of Youth Resistance HipHop Punk and
Book SynopsisIn his exciting new book, based on a decade of ethnographic fieldwork, Maurice Magaña considers how urban and migrant youth in Oaxaca embrace subcultures from hip-hop to punk and adopt creative organizing practices to create meaningful channels of participation in local social and political life. In the process, young people remake urban space and construct new identities in ways that directly challenge elite visions of their city and essentialist notions of what it means to be indigenous in the contemporary era. Cartographies of Youth Resistance is essential reading for students and scholars interested in youth politics and culture in Mexico, social movements, urban studies, and migration.Trade Review"The book is an ethnographic treasure-trove. Rich in information, it sheds light on the complexity of local politics and social movements. More than anything else, it is the depth of Magaña’s analysis, capturing the youth’s interconnected understanding of race, politics, and subcultures, that makes this book a must-read for researchers of social movements in the Americas, and beyond." * Anthropology Book Forum *"In short, Cartographies of Youth Resistance provides a compelling take on the role of Indigenous young people in the spatial construction of social movements. The insights developed in the book are not only useful for understanding social movements in Mexico; they can also be adapted for thinking about youth activism in many contexts throughout Latin America and elsewhere." * Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology *“The book’s wealth of ethnographic data on a too-little studied corner of the world opens the door for others to join and extend the valuable dialogues that Magaña and his collaborators in Oaxaca established.” * Anthropological Forum *"Magaña’s greatest contribution is his ethnographic work about punk culture in Oaxaca. . . . The punk scene is often regarded as the rebel kid of white privilege. Magaña shows us another point of view regarding the deep complexities of this group. . . . This book serves to benefit anyone studying globalization, transculturation, multiculturalism, hybrid cultures, and interculturalism in Latin America." * Mobilizations *"Within the context of the enduring afterlife of the renowned 2006 Oaxaca teacher's strike, Magaña (Univ. of Arizona) presents an extraordinarily well-informed ethnographic account . . .Magaña portrays and corroborates Oaxacan youth as "agents of change" and "dreamers of liberatory and dignified futures," offering a counter-reality to the prevalent negative stereotypes of the Mexican underclass. This is an excellent book for both its methodology and content." * CHOICE *“No doubt that Cartographies of Youth Resistance: Hip Hop, Punk, and Urban Autonomy in Mexico is a book that expands our understanding of 2006 Oaxaca and especially of the contemporary social movements there that continue to be led by the youth, echoing the struggles of the 2006 Generation. The book also provides a great contribution to the area of hip hop and punk studies within Latin America, and can be placed as an excellent addition to current scholarship in anthropology of the arts and youth studies.” * Latin American Literary Review *"The book’s wealth of ethnographic data on a too-little studied corner of the world opens the door for others to join and extend the valuable dialogues that Magaña and his collaborators in Oaxaca established." * Anthropological Forum *"Cartographies of Youth Resistance would appeal to readers involved or interested in social movements, as well as young people because of its study of political protests and revolution, and the important role that urban youth had in changing the social climate in Oaxaca city." * Space and Culture *"Magaña’s book is an accessible read for both undergraduate and graduate students. Like the historical agents in his book, students and scholars of radical politics will undoubtedly build on the ideas and analyses contained in Cartographies of Youth Resistance." * New Mexico Historical Review *Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Preface Acknowledgments List of Acronyms and Organizations Introduction • Rethinking Social Movement Temporality and Spatiality through Counterspace and Urban Youth Culture 1 • Building Youth Counterspaces, Horizontal Political Cultures, and Emergent Identities in the Oaxacan Social Movement of 2006 2 • Urban Autonomy, Indigenous Anarchisms, and Other Political Genealogies for the 2006 Generation 3 • Urban Youth Collectives as Laboratories for Constructing and Spatializing Horizontal Politics in Post-2006 Oaxaca 4 • Networking Counterspaces, Constellations of Resistance, and the Politics of Rebel Aesthetics 5 • Rebel Aesthetics: Giving Form to the 2006 Generation’s Liberationist Imagination through Street Art, Punk, and Hip-Hop Conclusion • Shifting Cartographies of (Youth) Resistance Notes Works Cited Index

University of California Press Health in the Highlands
Book SynopsisPopulated by curanderos, midwives, bonesetters, witches, doctors, nurses, and the indigenous people they served, this nuanced history demonstrates how cultural and political history, misogyny, racism, and racialization influence public health. In the first half of the twentieth century, the governments of Ecuador and Guatemala sought to spread scientific medicine to their populaces, working to prevent and treat malaria, typhus, and typhoid; to boost infant and maternal well-being; and to improve overall health. Drawing on extensive, original archival research, David Carey Jr. shows that highland indigenous populations in the two countries tended to embrace a syncretic approach to health, combining traditional and new practices. At times, both governments encouragedor at least allowedsuch a synthesis: even what they saw as nonscientific care was better than none. Yet both, especially Guatemala's, also wrote off indigenous lifeways and practices with both explicit and implicit racism, going so far as to criminalize native medical providers and to experiment on indigenous people without their consent. Both nations had authoritarian rule, but Guatemala's was outright dictatorial, tending to treat both women and indigenous people as subjects to be controlled and policed. Ecuador, on the other hand, advanced a more pluralistic vision of national unity, and had somewhat better outcomes as a result.Table of ContentsCONTENTS List of Illustrations Foreword Jeremy A.

University of California Press The Voice in the Margin
Book SynopsisIn its consideration of American Indian literature as a rich and exciting body of work, The Voice in the Margin invites us to broaden our notion of what a truly inclusive American literature might be, and of how it might be placed in relation to an internationala cosmopolitanliterary canon. The book comes at a time when the most influential national media have focused attention on the subject of the literary canon. They have made it an issue not merely of academic but of general public concern, expressing strong opinions on the subject of what the American student should or should not read as essential or core texts. Is the literary canon simply a given of tradition and history, or is it, and must it be, constantly under construction? The question remains hotly contested to the present moment. Arnold Krupat argues that the literary expression of the indigenous peoples of the United States has claims on us to more than marginal attention. Demonstrating a firm grasp of both literary h

University of California Press Coopers Landscapes
Book SynopsisCooper's Landscapes: An Essay on the Picturesque Vision delves into the vivid and enduring landscapes of James Fenimore Cooper's works, exploring how his descriptive artistry shaped the American literary imagination. This essay examines Cooper's unique ability to translate the grandeur of early 19th-century America into powerful visual panoramas that resonate with readers long after the characters and plots fade. Drawing on insights from European aesthetic traditions and the picturesque conventions, the book highlights how Cooper's narrative settings were inspired by both his American roots and his transformative years abroad. This perspective not only contextualizes his work within the broader scope of art and landscape painting but also underscores Cooper's innovative approach to crafting scenes that intertwine with the thematic elements of his storytelling. The book also offers a fresh critique of Cooper's aesthetic education, focusing on his mastery of landscape organization, the influence of his European experiences, and his application of landscape gardening principles in fiction. From early romances like The Last of the Mohicans to the nuanced complexities of later works such as Wyandotte, the essay reveals how Cooper's visual imagination evolved to serve his narrative ambitions. By connecting Cooper's artistry to the broader Romantic movement and theories of visual perception, this study illuminates the profound interplay between literature and the sister arts, offering a rich framework for appreciating Cooper's enduring contributions to American cultural and literary history. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.
