Barbara A. Mann - Native Americans, Archaeologists , & the Mounds (2003).jpg

"Ever since 18th C European settlers stumbled upon the mounds, explainations and interpretations of them -often ridiculous and seldom native American -have appeared as sober scholarship. The native American graves protection and Repatriation Act of 1900( NAGPRA) has intensified the debate over who "owns" the mounds- modern decendants of the Mound Builders or Western archaeologists.This book is the first cogent look at all the issues surrounding the mounds, their history, preservation, and interpretation. using the traditions of those native Americans descended from the MoundBuilders as well as historical and archaeological evidence, Mann places the mounds in their Native cultural context as she examines the fraught issues enveloping them inthe 21st C"
Mann is a lecturer of English at Toledo University as well as a noted author and speaker on the culture and history of native Americans of the eastern woodlands.She has a deep store of indigenist scholarship and personal experience.

Charles D. Collins, J - Atlas of the Sioux Wars - Second Edition (2006).jpg

The Atlas of the Sioux Wars represents a modest effort to rectify the omission of the Indian Wars in the West Point atlas series by examining the Army's campaigns against the Sioux Indians, one of the greatest Indian tribes of the American West. Section I deals with the difficulties of using volunteer forces to quell the rebellion of a suppressed people in the 1862 Minnesota Campaign. Section II deals with the 1866-68 Sioux War in Wyoming and Montana. Section III discusses the conflict of 1876 and encompasses one of the largest and most ambitious missions conducted by the Army during the Indian Wars. Section IV discusses the Army's final operations against the Sioux in 1890 and the tragic encounter at Wounded Knee.

Clare V. Mckanna - Race And Homicide In Nineteenth -Century California (2002).jpg

High murder rates have always been considered an indication of a society in turmoil, and nineteenth-century California was no exception. There, a rapidly growing population, booming mining camps, insufficient or nonexistent law-enforcement personnel, and a large number of diverse ethnic groups with differing attitudes toward the law and personal honor created a situation where violence was common and legal responses varied broadly. Clare V. McKanna Jr. has published widely on the history of criminal justice in the West. For Race and Homicide in Nineteenth-Century California, he studied coroners' inquest reports, court case files, prison registers, and other primary sources, as well as numerous printed sources, to analyze patterns of homicide and the vagaries of the state's embryonic justice system. The nature of crimes, he discovered, varied with the ethnicity of perpetrators and victims, as did trials and sentencing patterns. Marginalized individuals, like the state's diminishing Indians, fared worst, and Hispanics, whose traditional legal system differed in important ways from the imported practices of the new white majority, did little better. Homicide in the Chinese community was largely confined to fellow Chinese and was often prompted by rivalries among various secret societies. Whites, coming from a number of backgrounds, carried their own conceptions of honor and their own predilections toward violence.
McKanna presents here a vivid, carefully detailed portrait of a society in flux, where ancient Spanish and Chinese legal practices collided with English common law and the "Code of the West," where greed, poverty, and down-right meanness created tensions that frequently led to bloodshed. The text, enhanced with testimony from contemporary sources and illustrated with numerous period photographs, is an engaging and richly intelligent study of a frontier society where the law was neither omnipresent nor, frequently, impartial. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of the West and of the evolution of American law.

Clint Leung - An Overview of Canadian Artic Inuit Art (2006).jpg

Montreal, Quebec, Canada - May 16, 2006 -- Free Spirit Gallery, a Montreal based online art gallery specializing in Inuit (Eskimo) art, has announced the availability of a new 30 page eBook titled 'An Overview of Canadian Arctic Inuit Art' written by Clint Leung. This information packed eBook or electronic book can be read on the computer screen or printed out in hard copy. One of the best features of this particular eBook is that it is available for download at the Free Spirit Gallery website absolutely free.

In addition to the many color images of wonderful authentic Inuit art found throughout the eBook, there are chapters on the following areas;

- History of Inuit art
- Geographic locations of major Inuit art producing communities in the Canadian Arctic
- Materials used in Inuit art
- Different styles of Inuit art
- Telling the difference between real authentic artwork and imitations or fakes
- Factors that help determine prices of Inuit art
- Tips on buying Inuit art
- Interior decorating with Inuit art

Clint Leung, the eBook's author who created Free Spirit Gallery in 2004 says, "This eBook will hopefully bring more exposure to and help educate people on Inuit art which has become part of Canada's cultural identity." Unfortunately, many artists from Canadian Arctic communities have difficult times financially so Leung is doing his part in helping them out with both his eBook and his Free Spirit Gallery website. He hopes to bring some much needed awareness of the artwork from the north to new markets both in North America and internationally. He continues to say, "The Inuit live in very isolated areas so it is very difficult for them to get their wonderful artwork out to the rest of the world. I'm just doing my part in helping them out as much as I could."

Leung is the author of another eBook called 'An Overview of Pacific Northwest Native Indian Art' which is also available for download at the Free Spirit Gallery website.

Elvira Pulitano - Transatlantic Voices, Interpreta tions of Native North American Literatures (2007).jpg

Transatlantic Voices is the first collection of critical essays by European scholars on contemporary Native North American literatures. Devoted to the primary genres of Native literature—fiction, nonfiction, drama, poetry—the essays chart the course of recent theories of Native literature, delineate the crosscurrents in the history of Native literature studies, and probe specific themes of trauma and memory as well as changing mythologies. These essays also incorporate incipient transnational and transcultural methodologies in their approach to Native North American writing. Blending western critical approaches—from cultural studies to postcolonialism and trauma theory—with indigenous epistemological perspectives, the contributors to Transatlantic Voices advocate “the inescapable hybridity and intermixture of ideas” proposed by Paul Gilroy in his study of black diasporic identity. Native North American writers forcefully suggest that the study of American ethnicities in the twenty-first century can no longer be confined to the borders of the United States. Given the increasing transnational aspect of American studies, a collection such as Transatlantic Voices, presenting scholars from countries as diverse as Germany, France, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Finland, offers a timely contribution to such border crossing in scholarship and writing.

Gene Howard - Patterson for Alabama, The Life and Career of John Patterson (2008).jpg

This book offers the first and only historical account of the John Patterson administration. John Patterson, Alabama governor from 1959 to 1963, was thrust into the political arena after the brutal murder of his father, attorney general Albert Patterson in 1954. Allowed by the Democratic Party to take his father's place and to complete the elder's goal of cleaning up corruption in his hometown of Phenix City, Patterson made a young, attractive, and sympathetic candidate. "Patterson for Alabama" details his efforts to clean up his hometown, oppose corruption in the administration of Governor Big Jim Folsom, and to resist school desegregation. Popular on all three counts, Patterson went on to defeat rising populist George Wallace for governor.Patterson's term as governor was marked by rising violence as segregationists violently resisted integration. His role as a champion of resistance has clouded his reputation to this day. Patterson left office with little to show for his efforts and opposed for one reason or another by nearly all sectors of Alabama. Stymied in efforts to reclaim the governorship or a seat on the Alabama State Supreme Court, Patterson was appointed by Wallace to the state court of criminal appeals in 1984 and served on that body until retiring in 1997. In 2004, he served as one of the justices who removed the chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court Roy Moore for ignoring a federal court order.

Inter-American Development Bank - Living with Debt , How to Limit the Risks of Sovereign Finance (200 6).jpg

Living with Debt focuses on how to manage sovereign debt safely and effectively. The report traces the history of sovereign borrowing in Latin America, releases a new data set on public debt, and analyzes the evolution of debt, highlighting the recent trend toward higher levels of domestic debt and lower external borrowing. The report also includes a detailed study of the costs of sovereign defaults such as those that have affected some Latin American countries in recent years.

Drawing from in-depth country studies, the report notes the development of domestic debt markets, which have the potential to increase the availability of finance for the private sector and enhance financial markets' stability more generally. However, the report concludes that safely managing domestic debt presents somewhat different--but not necessarily simpler--challenges. In particular, the broader range of debt instruments interacts with the variety of shocks to which economies are exposed, requiring a more comprehensive approach to debt sustainability analysis, which the report outlines.

Jo Ella Powell Exley - Frontier Blood, Saga of the Parker Family (2001).jpg

The descendants of Elder John Parker were a strange and often brilliant family who may have changed the course of Texas and Western history. Their obsession with religion and their desire for land took them from Virginia to Georgia, Tennessee, Illinois, and finally Texas. From their midst came Cynthia Ann, taken captive by Comanches as a young girl and recaptured as an adult to live in grief among her birth family until she died. From their line too came her son, Quanah Parker, last of the great Comanche war chiefs -- and first of their great peace leaders.Although the broad outlines of the stories of Cynthia Ann and Quanah are familiar, Jo Ella Powell Exley adds a new dimension by placing them in the context of the stubborn, strong, contentious Parker clan, who lived near and dealt with restive Indians across successive frontiers until history finally brought them to Texas, where their fate changed. Drawing on a wealth of contemporary accounts, including several first-person stories, Exley follows Cynthia Ann through her life in the Indian camp and eventually her recapture by her birth family. She also tells the dramatic story of Quanah Parker through childhood, battle, surrender, and reservation life.This narrative is filled with authentic flavor and sets straight a story that has sometimes been distorted. It offers new insight if not a definitive interpretation of Cynthia Ann Parker's last years, providing a more complex picture of the "white" years of a woman who had matured among the Comanches since the age of nine.Among the documents from which Exley draws are a short autobiography of Daniel Parker, Rachel Parker Plummer's two narratives of her Indian captivity, JamesParker's account of his search for Rachel and the other captives, and several autobiographical accounts Quanah dictated to his friends.

Joel Monture - The Complete Guide to Traditional N ative American Beadwork, A Definitive Study of Aut hentic Tools, Materials, Techniques, and Styles (1 993).jpg

01 - USA - Joel Monture - The Complete Guide to Traditional Native...uthentic Tools, Materials, Techniques, and Styles 1993.jpg

"I can think of no recent book about traditional crafts which has delighted me more than Joel Monture's Complete Guide to Traditional Native American Beadwork. All too often, books of this nature are either as boring as a repair manual, or obscure and inaccurate. Monture's triumph is that his book is not only the best and most complete book about virtually every aspect of Native American beadwork tools, materials, styles and methods, it is also clear, interesting reading. "Written from the point of view of a Native master craftsman who is also a gifted teacher, and accompanied by striking full-color photos, it can serve as either a beginning point or a lifelong reference tool. I am confident that Monture's book will bring him wide praise, not only from beadworkers, but also from any person who delights in knowing more about the meaning and the history of an indigenous artform which is finally attracting the sort of critical attention and informed appreciation it deserves." —Joseph Bruchac, author of Keepers of the Earth Includes all the basic stitches and designs Contains a special section on natural tanning methods Extensive glossary Full-color photos of authentic Native American beadwork

Leonard Tennenhouse - The Importance of Feeling En glish, American Literature and the British Diaspor a, 1750-1850 (2007).jpg

01 - USA - Leonard Tennenhouse - The Importance of Feeling Englis...an Literature and the British Diaspora, 1750-1850 2007.jpg

American literature is typically seen as something that inspired its own conception and that sprang into being as a cultural offshoot of America's desire for national identity. But what of the vast precedent established by English literature, which was a major American import between 1750 and 1850?
In The Importance of Feeling English, Leonard Tennenhouse revisits the landscape of early American literature and radically revises its features. Using the concept of transatlantic circulation, he shows how some of the first American authors--from poets such as Timothy Dwight and Philip Freneau to novelists like William Hill Brown and Charles Brockden Brown--applied their newfound perspective to pre-existing British literary models. These American "re-writings" would in turn inspire native British authors such as Jane Austen and Horace Walpole to reconsider their own ideas of subject, household, and nation.
The enduring nature of these literary exchanges dramatically recasts early American literature as a literature of diaspora, Tennenhouse argues--and what made the settlers' writings distinctly and indelibly American was precisely their insistence on reproducing Englishness, on making English identity portable and adaptable. Written in an incisive and illuminating style, The Importance of Feeling English reveals the complex roots of American literature, and shows how its transatlantic movement aided and abetted the modernization of Anglophone culture at large.

Marie McLaughlin - Myths And Legends Of The Sioux (2008).jpg

Marie L. McLaughlin was born in 1842. In 1871 she moved with her husband to Devils Lake Agency, North Dakota, where she spent the next 10 years. In 1881, her and her husband moved to Standing Rock Reservation, where she lived and worked with Sioux. One quarter Sioux herself (having been born and reared in an Indian community), she was accepted by the Sioux and had the opportunity to learn their language, customs, legends and folklore first-hand.

Michael Schaller - The American Occupation of Japa n, The Origins of the Cold War in Asia (1987).jpg

In this novel and intriguing book, Michael Schaller traces the origins of the Cold War in Asia to the postwar occupation of Japan by U.S. troops. Determined to secure Japan as a bulwark against both Soviet expansion and Asian revolution, the U.S. instituted ambitious social and economic reforms under the direction of the flamboyant Occupation Commander, General Douglas MacArthur. MacArthur was later denounced by the Truman Administration as a "bunko artist" who had wrecked Japan's economy and opened it to Communist influence, and power was shifted to Japan's old elite. Cut off from its former trading partners, which were now all Communist-controlled, Japan, with U.S. backing, turned its attention to the rich but unstable Southeast Asian states. The stage was thus set for U.S. intervention in China, Korea, and Vietnam.

Nicholas Tawa - The Great American Symphony, Music , the Depression, and War (2009).jpg

The years of the Great Depression, World War II, and their aftermath brought a sea change in American music. This period of economic, social, and political adversity can truly be considered a musical golden age. In the realm of classical music, Aaron Copland, Samuel Barber, Howard Hanson, Virgil Thompson, and Leonard Bernstein -- among others -- produced symphonic works of great power and lasting beauty during these troubled years. It was during this critical decade and a half that contemporary writers on American culture began to speculate about "the Great American Symphony" and looked to these composers for music that would embody the spirit of the nation.
In this volume, Nicholas Tawa concludes that they succeeded, at the very least, in producing music that belongs in the cultural memory of every American. Tawa introduces the symphonists and their major works from the romanticism of Barber and the "all-American" Roy Harris through the theatrics of Bernstein and Marc Blitzstein to the broad-shouldered appeal of Thompson and Copland. Tawa's musical descriptions are vivid and personal, and invite music lovers and trained musicians alike to turn again to the marvelous and lasting music of this time.
