Duke University Press Indian Nation
Book SynopsisDocuments the contributions of Native Americans to the notion of American nationhood and to concepts of American identity at a crucial, defining time in US history. This book examines the rhetoric and writings of nineteenth-century Native Americans, including William Apess, Black Hawk, George Copway, John Rollin Ridge, and Sarah Winnemucca.Trade Review“Indian Nation offers thorough scholarship, good sense, and a clear style. The insightful overviews and fine brief accounts of Pearce, Slotkin, and Rogin are particularly valuable.”—Arnold Krupat, Sarah Lawrence College“Cheryl Walker demonstrates the integral parts played by native Americans in the development of the nineteenth-century American discourse about nationality. Not only does this important scholarly work remind us how fundamentally democratic institutions are indebted to native American cultures, it also teaches us that native Americans have been actively and complexly involved in the crucial political debates of our modernity. Indian Nation helps dismantle the odious but persistent myth of the ‘Vanishing American.’”—John Carlos Rowe, University of California, Irvine

Duke University Press Authentic Indians
Book SynopsisAnalyzes cultural adaptation among aboriginal people in the Pacific Northwest, tracing the colonial origins and political implications of ideas about native "authenticity."Trade Review“There are not enough superlatives in a thesaurus to convey my enthusiasm for this book. It is insightful, original, intelligent, thoroughly researched, beautifully written, and more. Paige Raibmon is the first scholar working in Native history to dissect and articulate the connections between assimilationist government policies, the rise of North American anthropology, and tourism, all of which—Raibmon argues with great success—served as agents of colonialism.”—Nancy Shoemaker, author of A Strange Likeness: Becoming Red and White in Eighteenth-Century North America“There is nothing in the existing historical literature that accomplishes what this book does. It vividly depicts the interplay of ideas, strategies, and practical considerations during a period that has had significant and long-lasting impacts on everyone’s ideas about ‘Indianness.’ Admirably, Paige Raibmon insists that we consider non-Indians’ ideas in relationship to Indians’ ideas and strategies, something few existing works do.”—Alexandra Harmon, author of Indians in the Making: Ethnic Relations and Indian Identities around Puget Sound“Authentic Indians is a masterful work that carefully weaves together a complicated theoretical argument with a lively historical narrative. Raibmon paints a clear picture of cultural and economic power structures that ruled the indigenous peoples of the Northwest Coast. And, through an innovative reading of a diverse array of primary sources, she finds native voices and tells a story that features indigenous peoples as meaningful historical actors.” -- Colleen O’Neill * Labor *Table of ContentsList of Illustrations xi Acknowledgments xiii Introduction: Authenticity and Colonial Cosmology 1 1.

Penguin Books Ltd The Arabian Nights Tales of 1001 Nights Volume 1
Book SynopsisThe most significant translation in one hundred years of one of the greatest works of world literature From Ali Baba and the forty thieves to the voyages of Sinbad, the stories of The Arabian Nights are timeless and unforgettable.

To end this brutal pattern, the vizier's daughter, Shahrazad, begins to tell the king enchanting tales of mystical lands peopled with princes and hunchbacks, of the Angel of Death and magical spirits, and of jinnis trapped in rings and in lamps—a sequence of stories that will last 1,001 nights, and that will save her own life.Trade ReviewPenguin has produced this magnificent, unexpurgated edition of the greatest collection of folk tales in the world...The Arabian Nights is not a book to be read in a week. It is an ocean of stories to be dipped into over a lifetime. And this new Penguin edition is the one to have.

Oxford University Press Inc The Indian World of George Washington
Book SynopsisGeorge Washington''s place in the foundations of the Republic remains unrivalled. His life story--from his beginnings as a surveyor and farmer, to colonial soldier in the Virginia Regiment, leader of the Patriot cause, commander of the Continental Army, and finally first president of the United States--reflects the narrative of the nation he guided into existence. There is, rightfully, no more chronicled figure.Yet American history has largely forgotten what Washington himself knew clearly: that the new Republic''s fate depended less on grand rhetoric of independence and self-governance and more on land--Indian land. Colin G. Calloway''s biography of the greatest founding father reveals in full the relationship between Washington and the Native leaders he dealt with intimately across the decades: Shingas, Tanaghrisson, Guyasuta, Attakullakulla, Bloody Fellow, Joseph Brant, Cornplanter, Red Jacket, and Little Turtle, among many others. Using the prism of Washington''s life to bring focuTrade ReviewColin Calloway demonstrates how profoundly George Washington's life was interwoven with the Indian world of North America. This book will forever change our understanding of the first president and the very meaning of the new nation he helped to create. * David Preston, author of Braddock's Defeat *Calloway has written an important and original interpretation of critical years in the formation of federal policies toward the claims and rights of Native Americans. * Booklist *"An expansive history...a detailed, impressively researched history of white-Indian relations during Washington's lifetime. Insightful and illuminating. * Kirkus Reviews *In The Indian World of George Washington, Colin Calloway thoughtfully and lucidly recovers a lost time, when Indian peoples' diplomacy and resistance helped to shape the new United States. No American President had a greater impact on natives or was more affected by his interactions with them. * Alan Taylor, author of American Revolutions: A Continental History, 1750-1804 *Finally, one of the best historians of colonial native America has taken up the challenge of putting one of the most important pieces of George Washington's life and experience back into the narrative. Calloway's monumental analysis helps us understand a half century of powerful and impactful native American history more clearly, and gives a fresh take on Washington's own challenges, frustrations, and successes-which together helped shape the destiny of American Republic. * Douglas Bradburn, President and CEO of George Washington's Mount Vernon *The Indian World of George Washington describes a critical moment in American history with the beginning of the collapse of what Richard White calls 'The Middle Ground' between white settlers and Indians. Elegantly and engagingly written, Calloway makes a major case for the centrality of Indians in George Washington's America. * Dr. Andrew J. O'Shaughnessy, Vice President of the Thomas Jefferson Foundation (Monticello) and author of The Men Who Lost America *From callow frontier fighter to venerated Founding Father of the United States, George Washington was intimately acquainted with 'Indian Country,' lured by its seemingly boundless potential for personal wealth and national expansion. But as Colin Calloway demonstrates in this ground-breaking study, Washington's vision for the West was contested by powerful tribes and charismatic Native leaders who prized independence as highly as he did. Bolstered by outstanding research, deep knowledge, and keen insight, Calloway's new book offers a sophisticated and original study of a cultural confrontation that was fundamental both for the shaping of Washington's character, and for America's destiny. * Stephen Brumwell, author of George Washington: Gentleman Warrior *Essential reading in Native American studies, as well as for those seeking a deeper understanding of George Washington and the Native populations of the early republic. * Library Journal *The fateful relationship between George Washington and the Indian tribes that bordered the new Republic is the subject of Colin Calloway's brilliantly presented and refreshingly original The Indian World of George Washington. . . . An essential new entry in the literature of George Washington and the early Republic. * Wall Street Journal *Provocative and deeply researched." - The Daily BeastTable of ContentsList of Illustrations List of Native Americans Introduction One: Learning Curves Chapter 1: Virginia's Indian Country Chapter 2: The Ohio Company and the Ohio Country Chapter 3: Into Tanaghrisson's World Chapter 4: Tanaghrisson's War Chapter 5: Braddock and the Limits of Empire Chapter 6: Frontier Defense and a Cherokee Alliance Chapter 7: Frontier Advance and a Cherokee War Two: The Other Revolution Chapter 8: Confronting the Indian Boundary Line Chapter 9: "A good deal of Land."

Cambridge University Press The Secret Life of Another Indian Nationalism
Book SynopsisNationalism is among the most influential ideas that has shaped the ''Metamorphoses of the Political'' in the long twentieth century. This book focuses on exclusivist Indian nationalism and identifies its distinction from inclusivist nationalism. It highlights shifts in ''another Indian nationalism'' over the last two centuries as the geopolitical context has transitioned from the Pax Britannica to the Pax Americana and its war on terror. The books braids the following three strands together: first, a majoritarian nationalist ideology called Hindutva; second, the making of popular history as a precolonial epic is highlighted, depicting the defeat of the last Hindu Emperor by a conquering Muslim Sultan purportedly leading to eight centuries of Hindu enslavement and third, the ''reconversion'' of a community by the Visva Hindu Parishad with consequences for Lived Hinduism and Indic civilisation with its complex identities.Trade Review'This magisterial book brings together history, ethnography and political theory to compose a remarkable argument about the ways in which colonial administrative knowledge made a deep contribution to the transformation of vernacular nationalism into Hindutva hyper-nationalism. Shail Mayaram's book brings Rajasthan into the deep history of postcolonial Hindu fundamentalism in India and deals a decisive blow to the orientalist fantasy of Rajasthan as an Indian setting for the Game of Thrones.' Arjun Appadurai, New York University'This deeply thoughtful book excavates out of layers of received colonial and national renderings of Indian pasts, practices of popular history and folk religion that shine a ray of hope on an India otherwise consumed by narratives of a struggle-to-death between a hyper-masculine and majoritarian Hindu nationalism symbolised by Savarkar and an ethical one associated with Gandhi. Mayaram offers a judicious blending of fieldwork and historical research in the Merwara region of Rajasthan to find yet another India that comes into view only when we shift our focus away from the state and towards the domain of the everyday and the popular. A remarkable contribution to the history of the present.' Dipesh Chakrabarty, The University of Chicago'The Secret Life of Another Indian Nationalism is a fearless exploration into many different archives that have a compelling story to tell of paths taken or not taken in the history of empire and of different nationalisms in India. Shail Mayaram's deep engagement with the dispersed archives that criss-cross with the official archives have much to teach us on questions of theory and method. Accessing experiences that have left indelible traces in vernacular tracts, folklore and stories that grow around local sites, this book opens new paths of discovery and recovery that are thought-provoking even when, and especially when, they challenge settled ideas about Indian political history.'
