John Wiley & Sons Cherokee Medicine Colonial Germs An Indigenous
Book SynopsisHow smallpox, or Variola, caused widespread devastation during the European colonization of the Americas is a well-known story. But as historian Paul Kelton informs us, that's precisely what it is: a convenient story.Trade ReviewHistorians have long written that American Indian populations were helpless before the onslaught of European microbes. In this definitive analysis of early Cherokee history, Paul Kelton lays the simplistic virgin soil theory to rest and shows that epidemics of smallpox and other pathogens were not the inevitable result of European arrival. Instead, they took root amid the devastation unleashed by European colonization. The Cherokees, too, were not hapless victims, but exhibited resilience and creativity by integrating new diseases into their cosmology and medical practices to reduce exposure and control outbreaks. Kelton's meticulously researched account rewrites an important part of the history of early America."" - David S. Jones, author of Rationalizing Epidemics: Meanings and Uses of American Indian Mortality since 1600""This book joins distinguished scholarship on early American Indian history that is centered on the Indian experience and revises historians' knowledge of a time and place they thought they knew well."" - H-Net Reviews in the Humanities & Social Sciences""Cherokee Medicine…will lead scholars to reexamine how they understand and write about epidemic disease."" - Journal of Southern History""He puts colonists' often vague and unsubstantiated references to apocalyptic sickness under a microscope….Kelton demonstrates how close, rigorous analysis proves that Native responses to smallpox were varied, innovative (including the use of quarantine and vaccination), and often effective….Excellent."" - Choice""Of the many new insights that Kelton contributes, none is more important than the Cherokee response to smallpox, which undermines the narrative of Native peoples as passive victims….Kelton's work is a much-needed antidote to prevailing 'narratives of disease'…."" - Ethnohistory

John Wiley & Sons Pueblo Sovereignty Indian Land and Water in New
Book SynopsisOver five centuries of foreign rule, 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.Trade ReviewPueblo Sovereignty joins and complements Malcolm Ebright and Rick Hendricks's distinguished body of work on land and water in the Southwest, including their prize-winning Four Square Leagues. Their deep experience in the field; grasp of historical, legal, and related sources; and ability to trace the evolution of themes through the Spanish colonial, Mexican, and U.S. periods set this study of five Pueblo communities apart. Here is yet another outstanding collaboration."" - John L. Kessell, author of Pueblos, Spaniards, and the Kingdom of New Mexico""In this exceptionally well researched book, the authors describe in detail how five pueblos have maintained their sovereignty since the late 1500s. Unlike most books on Pueblo history, this one recounts the struggle up to the present day, making Pueblo Sovereignty a requirement for any library on Indian rights."" - Sandra K. Mathews, coauthor of A History of New Mexico since Statehood""Pueblo Sovereignty is an important book for scholars of Native history, especially those working on the Southwest. It is exhaustively researched and balanced in its analysis and interpretation of the material. It would be helpful to see it situated more squarely in the broader scholarship on settler colonialism and Native dispossession, but this aside, it provides an important foundation on which further research on Native land and water issues in the Southwest can be built."" - H-Net

MP-OKL Uni of Oklahoma The Fifteenth Month
Book SynopsisThe Mexica used a solar calendar made up of eighteen months. Panquetzaliztli, the fifteenth month was significant for the fact that it marked the beginning of the season of warfare. John Schwaller offers a detailed look at how the celebrations of Panquetzaliztli changed over time and what these changes reveal about the history of the Aztecs.Trade ReviewIn The Fifteenth Month, distinguished historian of early colonial Mexico and renowned authority on Nahuatl language texts John F. Schwaller turns his sharp ethnohistorian's eye to the most important of the Aztec yearly festivals. His deep analysis of Panquetzaliztli reveals it is an outstanding lens through which to view major developments in Aztec history."" - Elizabeth Hill Boone, author of Cycles of Time and Meaning in the Mexican Books of Fate""With The Fifteenth Month, Aztec studies takes another leap forward. Examining what is arguably the most important of the year's eighteen months, John F. Schwaller brilliantly uses the twenty festive days of Panquetzaliztli as a device with which to explore Mexica daily life, the imperial culture of the Aztecs, and Nahua civilization on the eve of the Spanish invasion."" - Matthew Restall, author of When Montezuma Met Cortés: The True Story of the Meeting that Changed History

MP-OKL Uni of Oklahoma Massacre in Minnesota The Dakota War of 1862 the
Book SynopsisIn August 1862 the worst massacre in US history unfolded on the Minnesota prairie, launching what came to be known as the Dakota War. The wholesale violence has long obscured what really happened. A sweeping work of narrative history, Massacre in Minnesota provides the most complete account of this dark moment in US history.Trade ReviewAnderson's account of the Dakota uprising of 1862 is now the definitive one of an event - shamefully corrupt in its origins, horrific in its unfolding, and tragic in its aftermath - that must stand among the most appalling and revealing in the long history of Indian-white relations. ""- Elliott West, author of The Essential West: Collected Essays and The Last Indian War: The Nez Perce Story|""Exhaustively researched and copiously documented, Anderson's history of the Minnesota-Dakota War of 1862 offers fresh perspectives and a superior understanding of both Dakota culture and federal Indian policy. This will become the standard work on the subject."" - William E. Lass, author of Minnesota: A History and Navigating the Missouri: Steamboating on Nature's Highway

Cementing Warrior’s critical importance in the broader story of Indian activism, this book is essential reading for students of Native America and twentieth-century social and political movements.” —Sherry L. Smith, author of Hippies, Indians, and the Fight for Red Power “Who was Clyde Warrior? At last, thanks to Paul R. McKenzie-Jones’s biography we have new insight into Red Power’s most intriguing figure. Warrior was a brother from an alternate universe, where Indian militants read the New Republic, flew airplanes, and agonized about graduate school, even as they charted the future of indigenous revolution.”—Paul Chaat Smith, author of Everything You Know about Indians Is Wrong

University of Pennsylvania Press Indigenous Language Politics in the Schoolroom
Book SynopsisPublic school classrooms around the world have the power to shape and transform youth culture and identity. In this book, Mneesha Gellman examines how Indigenous high school students resist assimilation and assert their identities through access to Indigenous language classes in public schools. Drawing on ethnographic accounts, qualitative interviews, focus groups, and surveys, Gellman's fieldwork examines and compares the experiences of students in Yurok language courses in Northern California and Zapotec courses in Oaxaca, Mexico. She contends that this access to Indigenous language instruction in secondary schooling serves as an arena for Indigenous students to develop their sense of identity and agency, and provides them tools and strategies for civic, social, and political participation, sometimes in unexpected ways.Showcasing young people's voices, and those of their teachers and community members, in the fight for culturally relevant curricula and educational success, GTrade Review"[A] thoughtful analysis on the effects of Indigenous language access on Indigenous youth...Gellman’s book adds to important conversations and debates on democracy and pluralism, Indigenous studies, and settler colonial studies in comparative politics and beyond. Her analysis is a welcomed addition to research offering a contemporary view of Indigenous resistance and survival to settler colonialism in education." -- Raymond Foxworth * Nationalism and Ethnic Politics *"Indigenous Language Politics in the Schoolroom is an accessible book that shares valuable insights learned from comparative and collaborative research engagement with Zapotec and Yurok educators across several years, including pandemic years, which attest to the commitment of the researcher to Indigenous education. Engaging with this book can inspire readers to consider how we can engage in Indigenous education research and practice to benefit its diverse actors and how we can do so by drawing on a wide range of knowledges and ways of knowing—across cultures, across disciplines and across methodological paradigms." * Revista: Harvard Reiew of Latin America *"Mneesha Gellman shows how Indigenous language programs in high schools operate as collaborative platforms for Indigenous identity reclamation, multicultural empowerment, and decolonization, and demonstrates how Indigenous languages and cultures are relevant issues to anyone interested in forging a fairer society." * Américo Mendoza Mori, Harvard University *"This book shows why language matters so much for Indigenous identity, and how communities like mine are keeping our language alive.

University of Pennsylvania Press The Threshold of Manifest Destiny
Book SynopsisIn The Threshold of Manifest Destiny, Laurel Clark Shire illuminates the vital role women played in national expansion and shows how gender ideology was a key mechanism in U.S. settler colonialism.Among the many contentious frontier zones in nineteenth-century North America, Florida was an early and important borderland where the United States worked out how it would colonize new territories. From 1821, when it acquired Florida from Spain, through the Second Seminole War, and into the 1850s, the federal government relied on women''s physical labor to create homes, farms, families, and communities. It also capitalized on the symbolism of white women''s presence on the frontier; images of imperiled women presented settlement as the spread of domesticity and civilization and rationalized the violence of territorial expansion as the protection of women and families.Through careful parsing of previously unexplored military, court, and land records, as well as popular cTrade Review"Providing a rich study of a typically overlooked nineteenth-century frontier zone . . . the work's greatest contribution lies in its substantiation of the critical links between the development of the U.S. South and the U.S. West in the nineteenth century. In doing so, Shire has produced a valuable history of American nation-building that realizes the promise of thinking beyond the boundaries separating southern and western history." * Western Historical Quarterly *"This is clearly the best work to date on the manner in which domesticity justified Manifest Destiny. Shire offers a unique and compelling examination of the role of Southern women in territorial expansion, combined with a first-rate historical analysis of the Seminole and their relationship to native groups elsewhere in the Southwest, placing Florida itself in the larger context of expansion in the early American republic." * Amy Greenberg, Pennsylvania State University *Table of ContentsNote on Terminology Introduction.

University of Pennsylvania Press Nature and Culture in the Early Modern Atlantic
Book SynopsisIn the sixteenth-century Atlantic world, nature and culture swirled in people''s minds to produce fantastic images. In the South of France, a cloister''s painted wooden panels greeted parishioners with vivid depictions of unicorns, dragons, and centaurs, while Mayans in the Yucatan created openings to buildings that resembled a fierce animal''s jaws, known to archaeologists as serpent-column portals.In Nature and Culture in the Early Modern Atlantic, historian Peter C. Mancall reveals how Europeans and Native Americans thought about a natural world undergoing rapid change in the century following the historic voyages of Christopher Columbus. Through innovative use of oral history and folklore maintained for centuries by Native Americans, as well as original use of spectacular manuscript atlases, paintings that depict on-the-spot European representations of nature, and texts that circulated imperfectly across the ocean, he reveals how the encounter between the old world Trade Review"In Nature and Culture in the Early Modern Atlantic, Peter Mancall offers a brief, elegant account of the environmental understandings of both the Europeans who came to settle and exploit the resources of North America and the Caribbean, and the native groups who were already doing those things. . . . The book features illustrations large enough to reward examination, underlining their role as integral components of the argument." * Times Literary Supplement *"How to research indigenous culture in pre-modern America is a perennial challenge, given the nature of that society and the records that historians conventionally use. Mancall makes the case for visual material, oral history and legend as recorded in antiquarian sources in order to break the hold of the Western historical tradition. . . . Like some of the maps that it studies, Mancall's book charts the possibilities of what those new encounters with Atlantic history might be." * English Historical Review *"Mancall draws mainly from the Anglophone scientific tradition, in which knowledge about Spanish and Portuguese documents of the sixteenth century is still quite exceptional. His book reads like a companion, accessible to an audience beyond specialized scholars . . . Mancall suggests with this well-documented and wonderfully illustrated study that Europeans and indigenous Americans started from similar points of view in the past-which implies that, from a global perspective, the culture of the Enlightenment did more to broaden the distance than to advocate for a better understanding of their mutual specifics." * Isis *"In recent years an active research topic on the early modern era has been the intersection of human beings and the natural world. From all sides have come significant works investigating the science of describing natural history and the invention of exoticism and the endemic or the indigenous. Nature and Culture in the Early Modern Atlantic explores the natural world as conceived in the sixteenth-century Atlantic basin. With footings in both history and anthropology, Peter C. Mancall is well positioned to plumb the topic . . . [and the book] delights as it enlightens at every turn." * Journal of Southern History *"[A] graceful and sumptuously illustrated collection of essays exploring the cultural impact of encounters with American habitats and inhabitants on early modern European ideas about nature . . . [T]he book draws on a rich corpus of images and the author's deep familiarity with European visual culture to consider how the nature of the New World sometimes echoed and sometimes challenged European knowledge about the environment and even the nature of that knowledge itself." * Envorinmental History *"Through a wide-ranging series of case studies, this book weaves a compelling narrative of visual, cultural, and ecological exchange in the early modern Atlantic world . . . The use of oral history and folklore helps to develop a broad perspective on early encounters in the Atlantic basin, expanding upon previous scholarly explorations of the subject that do not always pay such close attention to these types of sources." * Winterthur Portfolio *"Brilliantly illustrated and written with flashes of wit and humor, Nature and Culture in the Early Modern Atlantic traces the shift in people's thinking about nature from the medieval to the modern period. Peter C. Mancall brings his encyclopedic knowledge of the primary and secondary sources to bear on monsters, insects, tropical forests, and indigenous peoples and shows that a new fascination with the material spectacle of the New World contributed to secular explanations of natural phenomena." * Donald Worster, author of Shrinking the Earth: The Rise and Decline of American Abundance *"Peter C. Mancall's Nature and Culture in the Early Modern Atlantic introduces the reader to a wondrous variety of ways that individuals, both individually and collectively, attempted to view and conceptualize the early modern Atlantic ecological world, from insects to maps and from imagined monsters to actual peoples. Abundantly illustrated, it is a tour de force of creative synthesis, engagingly drawing us into an era marked by a complex meeting of beliefs and ideas, and setting the stage for the intellectual traditions that would follow in its wake." * Joanne Pillsbury, The Metropolitan Museum of Art *"In this compact, learned, and beautifully illustrated book, Mancall probes a wide array of written, oral and art historical sources on the real and imagined flora and fauna of the Americas in the sixteenth century, examining everything from monsters to mosquitoes. He shows in exquisite detail how the integration of the Atlantic world unsettled sensibilities toward nature." * J. R.

University of Pennsylvania Press Dynamics of Difference in Australia
Book SynopsisIn Dynamics of Difference in Australia, Francesca Merlan examines relations between indigenous and nonindigenous people from the events of early exploration and colonial endeavors to the present day. From face-to-face interactions to national and geopolitical affairs, the book illuminates the dimensions of difference that are revealed by these encounters: what indigenous and nonindigenous people pay attention to, what they value, what preconceived notions each possesses, and what their responses are to the Other. Basing her analysis on her extensive fieldwork in northern Australia, Merlan highlights the asymmetries in the exchanges between the settler majority and the indigenous minority, looking at everything from forms of violence and material transactions, to indigenous involvement in resource development, to governmental intervention in indigenous affairs. Merlan frames the book within the current debate in Australian society concerning the constitutional recognition of indigenouTrade Review"This is an exceptionally rich book . . . [c]overing so many themes with exciting new insights, framings and ideas, it will be essential reading for historians working in Aboriginal and settler colonial history and a major contribution to our understanding of Australia's history of Indigenous-non-Indigenous relations." * Australian Historical Studies *"This book reveals with analytical clarity the underside of Australian politics in relation to indigenous peoples-the denials, self-delusions, sleights of hand, and inevitable misdeeds of the empowered majority. Francesca Merlan achieves this not so much through the flagging language of postcolonial critique but rather through the demonstration of consistencies across different times and places and on local and national levels. The cumulative evidence is compelling." * Diane Austin-Broos, University of Sydney *"Dynamics of Difference in Australia is a remarkable and insightful book.

University of Pennsylvania Press The Indigenous Paradox
Book SynopsisAn investigation into how indigenous rights are conceived in legal language and doctrineIn the twenty-first century, it is politically and legally commonplace that indigenous communities go to court to assert their rights against the postcolonial nation-state in which they reside. But upon closer examination, this constellation is far from straightforward. Indigenous communities make their claims as independent entities, governed by their own laws. And yet, they bring a case before the court of another sovereign, subjecting themselves to its foreign rule of law.According to Jonas Bens, when native communities enter into legal relationships with postcolonial nation-states, they become indigenous. Indigenous communities define themselves as separated from the settler nation-state and insist that their rights originate from within their own system of laws. At the same time, indigenous communities must argue that they are incorporated in the settler nation-state to beTrade Review"The Indigenous Paradox provides a valuable reference tool for scholars and activists working in the Americas and in other postcolonial settings around the world. It provides a strong basis for comparing the multiple valences of indigeneity and the distinct meanings that Indigenous communities ascribe to its cultural and juridical contexts." * Latin American Research Review *"Jonas Bens’ ambitious book...explores the political impact of state recognition for indigenous and tribal peoples enacting indigenous rights claims...As a contribution to scholarship examining local and international human rights systems, the book makes a strong argument for a comparative ethnographic approach to legal texts in showing how indigeneity is both emergent within and constructed against national and international legal systems." * The New Rambler *"For legal historians interested in an overall vision of indigenous rights in the Americas, this is an indispensable work because it questions current paradigms—both the strict division between North and South America as well as the supposed authenticity and ancestry that is often attributed to rights historically subject to what Bens calls the indigenous paradox. For this reason, it is a recommendable book for ethnohistorians, anthropologists and Americanists dedicated to the study of the problems of native peoples. For sure, it is a work that contributes to the attempts to decolonize history and law because such attempts are likewise subject to the indigenous paradox the author describes…This is an original book, very well written and researched." * Rechtsgeschichte / Legal History *"Through an anthropological reading of landmark indigenous rights cases in the Americas, Jonas Bens illuminates central features of indigenous identity and clarifies central contradictions of indigenous political engagement, providing a sense of what is at stake regarding aboriginal rights today." * David Dinwoodie, University of New Mexico *Table of ContentsList of Abbreviations A Note on Terminology Chapter 1.
