MP - University Of Minnesota Press Savage Preservation The Ethnographic Origins of
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Savage Preservation is an eye-opening account of the mutually entangled origins of ethnography and the meanings of modern media: recorded sound, color photography, documentary film. Not only does Brian Hochman enrich his readers’ sense of culture as a concept available to historical change, he demonstrates convincingly that North American media studies remains haunted at its core by the racial ‘science’ of earlier generations." —Lisa Gitelman, New York University "The book’s intersection of technological development and evolutionist cultural theory make a valuable contribution to media history."—Afterimage"Refreshing and original."—CHOICE"Hochman crafts a compelling account of the unexpected ways in which race and new media technologies intersected during this era."—MELUS"Hochman’s book is a clearly argued, broadly researched work with cogent case studies which should help to broaden our understanding of turn-of-the-century media and technology."—History of Anthropology NewsletterTable of ContentsContentsIntroduction: The Passamaquoddy Experiment1.

University of Minnesota Press The Beginning and End of Rape
Book SynopsisTrade Review"This is a compelling and compassionate revelation of the eternal violence against Native women. It is a call to action for all of us."—The Honorable Ada E. Deer, former Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs and enrolled Menominee"Sarah Deer breaks down how the United States’ addiction to violence and capitalism only sustains the subjugation and exploitation of Indigenous women. As a survivor, I am thankful for Deer’s insight and theories on creating Indigenous frameworks of justice for victims, their families, and their communities."—Radmilla Cody, singer and advocate for anti-violence"The Beginning and End of Rape documents the brutal history and contemporary reality of how rape has been used and continues to be used against Native women by the federal government to create a cultural implosion of destruction for generations. Rape, burn, and pillage continues when Native American women do not have equal protection of the law extended to us."—Charon Asetoyer, Executive Director, Native American Women’s Health Education Resource Center"An incisive and imperative academic study."—Kirkus Reviews"Deer is extremely thorough in her discussions of the history of rape law and its failings. She explores the meaning of rape in American society from a woman’s point of view. And she presents some possible strategies to begin to create equity, justice, and healing for victims of rape."—Indian Country Today"The Beginning and End of Rape will change the way we as Native people approach sexual violence in our communities and the way tribal courts protect and advocate for victims. I have no doubt the book will become the new standard in social justice circles and will be required reading everywhere from online spaces to classrooms and courtrooms."—Native Peoples"There is much for everyone to learn in this incisive, compelling, and thought-provoking volume."—Women’s Review of Books"An outstanding work that not only explains why rape in Indian country has reached epidemic levels but also provides readers with practical solutions. Highly recommended."—CHOICE "The Beginning and End of Rape marks an important contribution to growing scholarship around issues of gendered violence.

University of Minnesota Press The World and All the Things upon It
Book SynopsisTrade Review"In The World and All the Things upon It, David A. Chang places Hawai‘i, both literally and figuratively, at the center of the world. His fascinating explorations of Kanaka Maoli histories throughout the nineteenth-century Pacific puts Hawaiian studies in powerful conversation with some of the most exciting and rapidly changing fields of historical inquiry across this vast region."—Coll Thrush, author of Indigenous London: Native Travellers at the Heart of Empire"David A. Chang's research and analysis is fresh and makes an outstanding and vital contribution to our knowledge. The World and All the Things upon It is a work of aloha ‘āina, love of the land and our native people."—Noenoe Silva, University of Hawai‘i"Chang not only provides a voice to the history of the Hawaiian people, he also enriches the understanding of world history and global exploration by revealing ways that local peoples globalized their own world. Highly recommended."—CHOICE"Chang’s work adds to the growing studies of indigenous geographies and to the fields of Hawaiian history and world history, challenging readers to rethink global encounters by centering such encounters on the perspectives and systems of knowledge of Kanaka Maoli."—Journal of Native American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS) "Chang makes arguments that are supported by strong research.

The University of Alabama Press Life in a Mississippian Warscape
Book SynopsisArgues that to understand the big histories of warfare, political fragmentation, and resilience in the past archaeologists must also analyse and interpret the microscale actions of the past. These are the daily activities of people before, during, and after historical events.Trade Review“A theoretically nuanced and data-rich addition to our archaeological understanding of Mississippian warfare. This is a must-read for those interested in the historical interplay of violence, foodways, and identity.”— Gregory D. Wilson, coeditor of The Archaeology of Food and Warfare: Food Insecurity in Prehistory“This volume is an innovative look at the role of warfare in Mississippian societies that convincingly argues we can identify the presence and effects of warfare in the past. Through an examination of settlement patterns, ceramic and zooarchaeological Buchanan creates a compelling narrative that interprets archaeological data with an anthropological understanding of the daily costs of living through warfare.”— Maureen Meyers, coeditor of Contact, Colonialism, and Native Communities in the Southeastern United States

There is so much richness here in terms of the discussion of ideology, costly signaling, schizmogenesis, and so on, and the weaving together of these topics is done masterfully. It will be a must-read because it answers a call from researchers to focus more on the role of ideology and social practices in culture change and understanding the archaeological record.” - Philip Carr, coeditor of Investigating the Ordinary: Everyday Matters in Southeast Archaeology
