The New England Soul is the first comprehensive analysis of preaching in New England from the founding of the Puritan colonies to the outbreak of the Revolution. Using a multi-disciplinary approach--including analysis of rhetorical style and concept of identity and community--Stout examines more than two thousand sermons spanning five generations of ministers, including such giants of the pulpit as John Cotton, Thomas Shepard, Increase and Cotton Mather, George Whitefield, Jonathan s, Jonathan Mayhew, and Charles Chauncy, as well a numerous lesser-known preachers. Stout reconstructs the full import of the colonial sermon as a multi-faceted institution that served both religious and political purposes, and explained history and society to the New England Puritans for one and a half centuries.

Amelia Jones - Irrational Modernism, A Neurastheni c History of New York Dada (2005).jpg

In Irrational Modernism, Amelia gives us a history of New York Dada, reinterpreted in relation to the life and works of Baroness Elsa von Freytag- Loringhoven. enlarges our conception of New York Dada beyond the male avant-garde heroics of Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, and Francis Picabia to include the rebellious body of the Baroness. If they practiced Dada, she lived it, with her unorthodox personal life, wild assemblage objects, radical poetry and prose, and the flamboyant self-displays by which she became her own work of art. Through this reinterpretation, not only pres a revisionist history of an art movement but also suggests a new method of art history. argues that the accepted idea of New York Dada as epitomized by Duchamp's readymades and their implicit cultural critique does not take into consideration the contradictions within the movement--its misogyny, for example--or the social turmoil of the period caused by industrialization, urbanization, and the upheaval of World War I and its aftermath, which coincided with the Baroness's time in New York (1913-1923). Baroness Elsa, whose appearances in 's narrative of New York Dada mirror her volcanic intrusions into the artistic circles of the time, can be seen to embody a new way to understand the history of avant-gardism--one that embraces the irrational and marginal rather than promoting the canonical. Acknowledging her identification with the Baroness (as a "fellow neurasthenic"), and interrupting her own objective passages of art historical argument with what she describes in her introduction as "bursts of irrationality," explores the interestedness of all art history, and proposes a new "immersive" understanding of history (reflecting the historian's own history) that parallels the irrational immersive trajectory of avant- gardism as practiced by Baroness Elsa.

Bruce Ingham - English-Lakota Dictionary (2001).jpg

The Lakota language is estimated to be spoken by 20,000 people mainly in the states of North and South Dakota. It is reckoned to be the second largest native language in the US after Navaho. This dictionary of 12,000 entries aims to preserve Indian culture and at all points illustrate the use of words in examples, especially syntactic words, whose usage cannot be captured purely by giving an English equivalent. It provides depth as regards the usage of frequently occurring items and especially in the use of syntactic elements and usage in context. The data-base for the dictionary is the various books written in Lakota, recorded Lakota texts in archives, textbooks on the language, previous dictionaries, ethnographic and anthropological studies which include Lakota texts, and, importantly, recordings which the author has acquired. An introduction contains the phonetics, the grammar and the history of Lakota.

David Harris Sacks - The Widening Gate, Bristol an d the Atlantic Economy, 1450-1700 (1993).jpg

Preface

Bristol is the city that John Cabot sailed from and Thomas Chatterton dreamed, that
Hugh Latimer preached to and Oliver Cromwell seized, that entertained Parliaments
in the Middle Ages and rioted for Reform in the nineteenth century. Since the
Norman Conquest, it has always had an important place in English history,
experiencing events and contributing to developments that stirred the nation. What
follows is an account of its connection with one small piece of that history, the rise of
the Atlantic economy in the early modern period and the accompanying
transformation of English economic ideas and practices. But this book is not about
economics alone. It is grounded on the belief that we can no more abstract the
economy from politics, culture, and society than we can separate intentional human
action from thought and judgment. It also rejects the notion that the life of a city like
Bristol could ever be treated as a self-contained whole. Instead it views such cities as
social organisms living in close relationship with their surroundings. What gives them
their structure is the set of internal codes they carry. And what enables them to
survive is their ability to adapt to or transform their environment, which itself is
always changing.
It was beyond my capacity to write this kind of history encyclopedically. Even if
the evidence necessary to define every relevant interrelationship had survived—it

H.R. Voth - The Traditions of the Hopi (1905).jpg

A HOPI proverb states “The one who tells the stories rules the world.” The 110 Hopi tales and legends presented in this volume were collected in the vernacular and without an interpreter, by H. R. Voth, during the early part of the 20th C. He did this in connection with other investigations among the Hopi which he made for the Field Columbian Museum’s Department of Anthropology in an investigation provided for by Mr. Stanley McCormick. The Hopi maintain a complex religious and mythological tradition stretching back over centuries. However, it is difficult to definitively state what all Hopi, as a group, believe. Like the oral traditions of many other societies, Hopi mythology is not always told consistently and each Hopi mesa, or even each village, may have its own version of a particular story. But, in essence the variants of the Hopi myth bear marked similarity to one another. Folklorist Harold Courlander (1908 – 1996) stated, "there is a Hopi reticence about discussing matters that could be considered ritual secrets or religion-oriented traditions.” If this is indeed the case then there must be a massive library of untold Hopi folklore and mythology out there somewhere. But for now we will have to do with these 110 tales collected over 100 years ago – and who knows how old they were when they were recorded? So join with us and find a comfy chair, kick back and relax and enjoy these 110 tales from the mesas of Arizona and the mists of time - and in their retelling maybe you’ll feel as if you rule the world. 33% of the net profit from the sale of this book will be donated to the American Indian.

Lee Irwin -The Dream Seekers, Native American Visi onary Traditions of the Great Plains (2003).jpg

In The Dream Seekers, Lee Irwin demonstrates the central importance of visionary dreams as sources of empowerment and innovation in Plains Indian religion. Irwin draws on 350 visionary dreams from published and unpublished sources that span 150 years to describe the shared features of cosmology for twenty-three groups of Plains Indians. This comprehensive work is not a recital but an understandable exploration of the religious world of Plains Indians. The different means of acquiring visions that are described include the spontaneous vision experience common among Plains Indian women and means such as stress, illness, social conflict, and mourning used by both men and women to obtain visions. Irwin describes the various stages of the structured male vision quest as well as the central issues of unsuccessful or abandoned quests, threshold experiences during a vision, and the means by which religious empowerment is attained and transferred.

James W. Ely - The Guardian of Every Other Right, A Constitutional History of Property Rights (2007).jpg

John C. Inscoe - Appalachians and Race, The Mounta in South from Slavery to Segregation (2000).jpg

Only recently have scholars come to fully discover the complex relationships of blacks and whites in the southern Appalachians, both before and after emancipation. From slave labor in iron works, coalfields, and salt mines to postwar racial violence and Jim Crow oppression, the integral role of African Americans in highland society is at last being acknowledged.

The eighteen essays in this collection recognize not only a far greater African American presence in the highland South than was once assumed but a wider variety of interaction between blacks and whites during the nineteenth century. Leading scholars of Appalachian studies explore topics as varied as black migration into and out of the region, educational and religious missions directed at African Americans, the musical influences of interracial contacts, and much more.
