Ephraim George Squier and the Development of American Anthropology is an intellectual biography of Ephraim Squier (1821-88) and his contributions to the development of the nascent disciplines of archaeology and anthropology. During his career, which spanned the years 1845-77, Squier consistently articulated the need for a more holistic and integrated approach to the study of humankind.

Although Squier is best known today for the classic book he coauthored with Edwin H. Davis, Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley, Terry A. Barnhart shows that Squier's fieldwork and interpretive contributions to archaeology and anthropology continued over the next three decades. He turned his attention to comparative studies and to fieldwork in Central America and Peru. He became a diplomat and an entrepreneur yet still found time to conduct archaeological investigations in Nicaragua, Honduras, and Peru and to gather ethnographic information on contemporary indigenous peoples in those countries. He published an important and still not fully appreciated comparative study, The Serpent Symbol, and the Worship of the Reciprocal Principles of Nature in America, which attempted to systematically account for parallel cultural developments that he attributed to the psychic unity of humankind.

A wealth of unpublished sources illuminate Squier's wide-ranging interests and controversial career, his intellectual circle, and the public interests of an energetic and expansive American nation. Terry A. Barnhart offers us the first intellectual biography that explores the personal and professional life of a remarkable and significant figure in the history of American anthropology.

Terry A. Barnhart is a professor of history at Eastern Illinois University.

Tomoko Hamada - American Enterprise in Japan (1991 ).jpg

This book is about managing cultural differences. Using examples of American direct investments in Japan, I will examine the issue of cross-cultural management from an anthropological perspective in order to demonstrate what an ethnographer can contribute to the field of comparative management studies. It is based upon fieldwork conducted in Japan and the United States between 1977 and 1981, and the summers of 1985, 1986, 1987, and 1988.
I will state major issues concerning foreign direct investment in Japan in this chapter and discuss my ethnographic approach to organizational culture. I will then describe my fieldwork on a United States-Japanese joint-venture company in chapter two. This is the first ethnographic study dealing with the experience of an American firm in Japan, and I would like to describe how I became involved in this study and how I collected the data.

Susan Brownell - The 1904 Anthropology Days and Ol ympic Games, Sport, Race, and American Imperialism (2008).jpg

01 - USA1 - Susan Brownell - The 1904 Anthropology Days and Olympi...mpic Games, Sport, Race, and American Imperialism 2008.jpg

One of the more problematic sport spectacles in American history took place at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, which included the third modern Olympic Games. Associated with the Games was a curious event known as Anthropology Days organized by William J. McGee and James Sullivan, at that time the leading figures in American anthropology and sports, respectively. McGee recruited Natives who were participating in the fair’s ethnic displays to compete in sports events, with the “scientific” goal of measuring the physical prowess of “savages” as compared with “civilized men.” This interdisciplinary collection of essays assesses the ideas about race, imperialism, and Western civilization manifested in the 1904 World’s Fair and Olympic Games and shows how they are still relevant.

A turning point in both the history of the Olympics and the development of modern anthropology, these games expressed the conflict between the Old World emphasis on culture and New World emphasis on utilitarianism. Marked by Franz Boas’s paper at the Scientific Congress, the events in St. Louis witnessed the beginning of the shift in anthropological research from nineteenth-century evolutionary racial models to the cultural relativist paradigm that is now a cornerstone of modern American anthropology. Racist pseudoscience nonetheless reappears to this day in the realm of sports.

Peter B. Levy - Civil War on Race Street, The Civi l Rights Movement in Cambridge, Maryland (2003).jpg

Civil War on Race Street, so named because Race Street was the road that divided blacks and whites in Cambridge, Maryland, is a detailed examination of one of the most vibrant locally based struggles for racial equality during the 1960s. Beginning with an overview of Cambridge, particularly its history of racial and class relations, Peter Levy traces the emergence of the modern civil rights movement in this city on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
Catalyzed by the arrival of freedom riders in 1962, the movement in Cambridge expanded in 1963 and 1964 under the leadership of Gloria Richardson, one of the most prominent (and one of the few female) civil rights leaders in the nation. In the years after her departure from Cambridge, the movement went into decline until 1967, when it underwent a brief revival that culminated with a riot allegedly incited by black power spokesman H. Rap Brown. In the wake of the riot, blacks and whites in Cambridge sought to rebuild their city and return to a politics of moderation. However, Spiro Agnew, then governor of Maryland, used the riot to advance his political career and the fortunes of the New Right, thereby garnering the attention of the public (as well as Richard Nixon) and achieving the vice-presidency in 1968. At the same time, H. Rap Brown saw his influence and that of the civil rights movement decline.
In addition to providing valuable insights into Richardson and Agnew, this study is one of the few to examine a community in a "border" state. Levy demonstrates that the goals of the movement were not universal, that strategies underwent constant political and social change, and that the impact on the micro level was not as clean and immediate as historians would have us believe.

David Stanley - Folklore in Utah, A History and Gu ide to Resources (2004).jpg

Over thirty scholars examine the development of folklore studies through the lens of over one hundred years of significant activity in a state that has provided grist for the mills of many prominent folklorists. In the past the Folklore Society of Utah has examined the work of such scholars in biographical and other essays published in its newsletters. This book incorporates those essays and goes well beyond them to include many other topics, offering a thorough history of folklore studies and a guide to resources for those pursuing research in Utah now and in the future.
The essays survey the development and contributions of folklore studies in Utah from 1892 to 2004 but also represent developments in both academic and public-sector folklore throughout the United States. Following a thorough historical introduction, part I profiles the first folklorists working in the state, including Hector Lee, Thomas Cheney, Austin and Alta Fife, Wayland Hand, and Lester Hubbard. Part II looks at the careers of prominent Utah folklorists Jan Harold Brunvand, Barre Toelken, and William B. Wilson, as well as the works of the next, current generation of folklorists. Part III covers studies in major folklore genres, with essays on the study of material culture, vernacular architecture, and Mormon, ethnic, Native American, and Latino folklore. Part IV examines public folklore programs including organizations, conferences, and tourism. Back matter describes academic programs at Utah institutions of higher education, summarizes the holdings of the various folklore archives in the state, and provides a complete cross-indexed bibliography of articles, books, and recordings of Utah folklore.

Scott C. Patchan - Shenandoah Summer, The 1864 Val ley Campaign (2007).jpg

Jubal A. Early disastrous battles in the Shenandoah Valley ultimately resulted in his ignominious dismissal. But Early lesser-known summer campaign of 1864, between his raid on Washington and Phil Sheridan renowned fall campaign, had a significant impact on the political and military landscape of the time. By focusing on military tactics and battle history, Scott C. Patchan uncovers the facts and actions of these little-understood battles and offers a new perspective on Early contributions to the Confederate war effort and to Union battle plans and politicking.
Patchan details previously unexplored battles at Rutherford Farm and Kernstown (a pinnacle of Confederate operations in the Shenandoah Valley). He examines the campaign influence on President Lincoln reelection efforts and provides insights into the personalities, careers, and roles in Shenandoah of Confederate General John C. Breckinridge, Union General George Crook, and Union Colonel James A. Mulligan, with his fighting Irish brigade from Chicago. Finally, Patchan reconsiders the ever-colorful and controversial Early himself, whose importance in the Confederate military pantheon this book at last makes clear.

R. Michael Alvarez - Electronic Elections, The Per ils and Promises of Digital Democracy (2008).jpg

Recent debates about voting technology and election reform have generated more heat than light, often leading to myopic views of security and premature policy fixes. Alvarez and Hall provide a constructive alternative--a calm, rational, data-tested, risk-based analysis of electronic voting. Their book is a model of how rigorous research can constructively inform public discussion and the policy process.

Robert & Phyllis White - Hunter Travel Guides, Hol lywood & the Best of Los Angeles Alive (2002).jpg

Hollywood is as much a state of mind as it is a geographic entity.

When you come to Hollywood, of course you would like to see television and movie stars. The footprints at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre and the rides at Universal Studios are well and good, and as close as most visitors get to show biz, but they are not going to reveal any actual celebrities in the flesh. Yet seeing stars is, with a little bit of luck, perfectly possible.

This book first took shape in our minds a few years ago, when we were working at the studios and, every once in a while, greeting friends and relatives from out of town. It almost always turned out that what they wanted to see and do was connected with Hollywood. Did we know any actors we could introduce them to? Could they tour a studio? Was there a movie they could see being shot?
