THE ANCIENT CITY New Perspectives on Urbanism in the Old and New World

Edited by Joyce Marcus and Jeremy A. Sabloff

Ancient cities have much to tell us not only about the social, political, religious, and economic conditions

of their times—but also about our own. Ongoing excavations all over the world are enabling scholars to document intracity changes through time, city-to-city interaction, and changing relations between cities and their hinterlands. As the chapters in this volume reveal, archaeologists now know much more about the founding and functions of ancient cities, their diverse trade networks, their heterogeneous plans and layouts, and their various lifespans and trajectories.

ARCHAIC STATE INTERACTION The Eastern Mediterranean in the Bronze Age

Edited by William A. Parkinson and Michael L. Galaty

In current archaeological research the failure to find common ground between world-systems theory

believers and their counterparts has resulted in a stagnation of theoretical development with regard to modeling how early state societies interacted with their neighbors. This book is an attempt to redress these issues. By shifting the theoretical focus away from questions of state evolution to state interaction, the authors develop anthropological models for understanding how ancient states interacted with one another and with societies of different scales of economic and political organization. One of their goals has been to identify a theoretical middle ground that is neither dogmatic nor dismissive. The result is an innovative approach to modeling social interaction that will be helpful in exploring the relationship between social processes that occur at different geographic scales and over different temporal durations.

“An excellent example of a meeting of the minds to hammer at an interesting and current set of problems affecting archaeologists around the world.… It is not necessary for the reader to be a ‘believer’ in world-systems theory to benefit from these essays.”—Thomas F.

BIG HISTORIES, HUMAN LIVESTackling Problems of Scale in Archaeology

Edited by John Robb and Timothy R. Pauketat

Big Histories, Human Lives is a re-theorizing of scale and change in

human history as both are related to the big picture—the relationships between time, the environment, and all of human experience on earth.Contributors: Clive Gamble, Chris Gosden, Michael Heckenberger, Scott MacEachern, Timothy R. Pauketat, Susan Pollock, John Robb, Kenneth E. Sassaman, Ruth M. Van Dyke

“Since the 1980s, archaeologists have struggled with growing, impressive bodies of data about long-term social change and outmoded theories used to explain change. Under criticism by post-processualists and others, grand narratives of change were questioned and even the idea of having grand narratives was rejected. This occurred especially in the demolition of neo-evolutionist theory (of stages and levels), which created a kind of theoretical anomie. This book is a call to restore grand narratives of change, and the authors are determined to put human beings—who were effectively ignored in systems theories, environmental determinist theories, adaptationism, and functionalism—as central actors in their own histories. Archaeologists: this way forward.”—Norman Yoffee, Senior Fellow, Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, New York University

“Through vivid and thought-provoking examples, the volume’s various authors demonstrate how the archaeological, anthropological, and historical examination of past human societies has many lessons of direct and immediate relevance to people in the modern world. It also recasts the focus of scholars from these disciplines in turn, arguing that there are bigger problems and better ways of examining them than the approaches many have chosen.”—David G. Anderson, University of Tennessee, author ofClimate Change and Cultural Dynamics: A Global Perspective on Mid-Holocene Transitions

BREATHING NEW LIFE INTO THE EVIDENCE OF DEATHContemporary Approaches to Bioarchaeology

Edited by Aubrey Baadsgaard, Alexis T. Boutin, and Jane E. Buikstra

Taking cues from current theoretical perspectives and capitalizing on the strengths of new and sophisticated methods of analysis, Breathing New Life into the Evidence of Death showcases the vibrancy of bioarchaeological research and its potential for bringing “new life” to the field of mortuary archaeology and the study of human remains. These new trajectories challenge old stereotypes, redefine the way research of human remains should be accomplished, and erase the divide that once separated osteologists from archaeologists. Through case studies ranging from body piercing in prehistoric Chile to Christian burials in early medieval Ireland, the contributors to this book take a broad and deep look at themes including archaeologies of identity, the contemporary sociopolitical effects of bioarchaeological research, and materiality in the mortuary record. Contributors: Aubrey Baadsgaard, Alexis T. Boutin, Jane E. Buikstra, Pamela L. Geller, Christopher J. Knüsel, María Cecilia Lozada, Susan Pollock, Rachel E. Scott, Ann L. W. Stodder, Christina Torres-Rouff

“This book is a robust contribution toward bringing bioarchaeology firmly into the larger sphere of anthropological approaches to the past. Although the case studies range far and wide, the editors’ attention to disciplinary history and a productive thematic organization result in a fresh collection that should inspire both students and seasoned practitioners. The authors, while grounding their work firmly in established bioarchaeological method, also chart new—and essential—theoretical terrain that represents the future of contextualized work in the field.”—Ann M. Kakaliouras, Whittier College

THE EVOLUTION OF LEADERSHIP Transitions in Decision Making from Small-Scale to Middle-Range Societies

Edited by Kevin J. Vaughn, Jelmer W. Eerkens, and John Kantner

Leaders make decisions that have significant impacts on the lives of others. They have the ability to

influence events and impact the evolutionary trajectories of societies. Leaders exist in all societies, ranging from smaller-scale heads of households to larger-scale elected governing bodies to dictators with vast coercive powers at their disposal. This book brings together the perspectives of cultural anthropologists and archaeologists to explore why and how leadership emerges and variously becomes institutionalized among disparate groups.

Contributors: Jeanne E. Arnold, Douglas W. Bird, Rebecca Bliege Bird, Brenda J. Bowser, Jelmer W. Eerkens, John Kantner, Chapurukha M. Kusimba, Sibel B. Kusimba, John Q. Patton, Timothy R. Pauketat, Charles Stanish, Kevin J. Vaughn, Polly Wiessner

“A series of authoritative snapshots describe what archaeology and ethnography can tell us about leadership in small- and medium-sized societies. The geographic coverage is broad, the range of examples impressive. This is an important and timely contribution to the long-standing—and often repetitive—debates about the nature of leadership in smaller-scale societies.”—Brian Fagan, Emeritus Professor of Anthropology, University of California, Santa Barbara

“The main appeal of the book is as a collection of recent studies on the emergence and maintenance of leadership in traditional societies. The breadth of the geographical coverage and the integration of both ethnographic and archaeological studies lend this volume both interest and strength. It strikes me as a reasonable ‘snapshot’ of current approaches to the topic.”—Vincas P. Steponaitis, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

MEMORY WORK Archaeologies of Material Practices

Edited by Barbara J. Mills and William H. Walker

Memory making is a social practice that links people and things across time and space and that, ultimately, has material consequences. The

intersection of matter and social practice becomes archaeologically visible through the deposits created during social activities. Memories are made, not just experienced, and their material traces allow us to understand the materiality of these practices. Indeed, materiality is not just material culture repackaged. Instead, it is about the interaction of humans and materials within a set of cultural relationships. In this book the authors focus on a set of case studies that illustrate how social memories were made through repeated, patterned, and engaged social practices. “Memory work” also refers to the interpretive activities scholars perform when studying social memory. The contributors to this volume share a common goal: to map out the different ways to study social memories in past societies programmatically and tangibly.

Contributors: Susan D. Gillespie, Rosemary A. Joyce, Lisa J. Lucero, Lynn Meskell, Barbara J. Mills, Axel E. Nielsen, Timothy R. Pauketat, Joshua Pollard, Ann B. Stahl, William H. Walker

“This book makes a substantial contribution to archaeological theory and practice.… Social memory is of wide interest in the social sciences and the humanities. The approach advocated here, to focus on practice and materiality, has the potential to introduce a different twist on the subject.” —Julia A. Hendon, Gettysburg College

“It remains an exemplary and original volume and one which deserves to be widely read and cited and for that reason, is a recommended read for anyone interested in the complexities of understanding the archaeological record.” —Gavin Lucas, Journal of Field Archaeology



POSTCOLONIAL ARCHAEOLOGIES IN AFRICAEdited by Peter R. Schmidt

This book features some of the foremost archaeologists from Africa and the United States and presents

cutting-edge proposals for how archaeology in Africa today can be made more relevant to the needs of local communities, from enhancing cultural capacity to cope with AIDS to promoting economic development and human rights claims, generating locally rooted intellectual paradigms, and preventing the degradation of heritage resources. The authors highlight research programs that offer positive alternatives to colonial-era theories and explore African quests for identities forged from within, the struggle to find meaning in African practice of archaeology, and how to make archaeology work for individual and collective well-being.

Contributors: Flordeliz T. Bugarin, Felix A. Chami, James Denbow, Faye V. Harrison, Augustin F. C. Holl, Karega-Munene, Chapurukha M. Kusimba, Roderick J. McIntosh, Morongwa Mosothwane, Ndukuyakhe Ndlovu, Nonofho Mathibidi Ndobochani, Michael Rowlands, Peter R. Schmidt, Alinah K. Segobye, Jonathan R. Walz

“There is a growing body of scholars committed to archaeology in Africa who will find this volume compelling...this is new material...highly innovative and will be used in many archaeology courses whether dealing with African archaeology, post-colonialism, indigenous pasts, heritage, rights, and so on.”—Lynn Meskell, Stanford University

“Perhaps one of the most significant contemporary collections of articles on archaeology in continental Africa, Schmidt’s edited volume is a ‘must-read’ for any archaeologist interested in public, community, and postcolonial methodologies.”—Uzma Z. Rizvi, Department of Social Science and Cultural Studies, Pratt Institute

ROOTS OF CONFLICT Soils, Agriculture, and Sociopolitical Complexity in Ancient Hawai‘i

Edited by Patrick V. Kirch

Roots of Conflict presents the efforts of a team of social and natural scientists to understand the complex, systemic linkages between land,

climate, crops, human populations, and their cultural structures. The research group has focused on what might seem to some an unlikely locale to investigate a set of problems with worldwide significance: the Hawaiian Islands. Though it is perhaps the most isolated archipelago on Earth, Hawai‘i is a “model system” for teasing out key connections between land, agriculture, and society.

Contributors: Carolyn Ke haunani Cachola-Abad, Oliver A. Chadwick, Sam M. Gon III, Michael W. Graves, Anthony S. Hartshorn, Sara Hotchkiss, Patrick V. Kirch, Thegn N. Ladefoged, Charlotte Lee, Shripad Tuljapurkar, Peter M. Vitousek, Karl S. Zimmerer

“Hawai‘i is the Polynesian archipelago that prehistorically developed the largest population and highest political complexity within less than a millennium of settlement. [Roots of Conflict] tells the fascinating story of those developments and uses them as a model in two senses. As a model of human societal evolution, Hawai‘i offers the advantages of comparing six major islands differing in area, elevation, rainfall, soil age and fertility, and hence human population size and social and political organization. As a model of interdisciplinary science, this book uses Hawai‘i to showcase how collaboration between archaeologists, ecologists, paleobotanists, quantitative demographers, soil scientists, and scholars analyzing oral traditions can yield conclusions far exceeding the capacity of any one of those fields alone.” —Jared Diamond, professor of geography at UCLA and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of books including Guns, Germs, and Steel and Collapse

ARCHAEOLOGY & CULTURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Visions for the Future

Edited by Lynne Sebastian and William D. LipeForeword by Charles R. McGimsey III

By most estimates, as much as 90 percent of the archaeology done in the United States today is carried out in the field of cultural resource management. The effects of this work on the archaeological record, the archaeology profession, and the heritage of the American people would be difficult to overemphasize. CRM archaeology affects a wide range of federally funded or authorized developments. It influences how archaeologists educate their students, work with indigenous people, and curate field records and artifacts. The contributors hope that this book will serve as an impetus in American archaeology for dialogue and debate on how to make CRM projects and programs yield both better archaeology and better public policy.

“Archaeology & Cultural Resource Management is a very important work that looks at the issues facing CRM Archaeology and does something that is rarely seen—offers solutions. I am confident that this book…will [prove] to be very influential in shaping the future of CRM Archaeology.”—J. W. Joseph, New South Associates

THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF CHACO CANYON An Eleventh-Century Pueblo Regional Center

Edited by Stephen H. Lekson

Chaco Canyon is the site of a great ancestral Pueblo center in the eleventh and twelfth centuries AD.

Its ruins look like a city to some archaeologists, a ceremonial center to others. Chaco and the people who created its monumental great houses, extensive roads, and network of outlying settlements remain an enigma in American archaeology. Two decades after the latest and largest program of field research at Chaco (the National Park Service’s Chaco Project from 1971 to 1982) the original researchers and other leading Chaco scholars convened to evaluate what they now know about Chaco in light of new theories and new data. Those meetings culminated in an advanced seminar at SAR, where the Chaco Project itself was born in 1968. In this capstone volume, the contributors address central archaeological themes, including environment, organization of production, architecture, regional issues, and society and polity.

Contributors: Nancy J. Akins, Linda Cordell, Jeffrey S. Dean, Andrew I. Duff, W. Derek Hamilton, W. James Judge, John W. Kantner, Keith W. Kintigh, Stephen H. Lekson, William D. Lipe, Peter J.

AN ARCHAEOLOGY OF DOINGSSecularism and the Study of Pueblo Religion

Severin M. Fowles

There is an unsettling paradox in the anthropology of religion. Modern understandings of “religion”

emerged out of a specifically Western genealogy, and recognizing this, many anthropologists have become deeply suspicious of claims that such understandings can be applied with fidelity to premodern or non-Western contexts. And yet, archaeologists now write about “religion” and “ritual” with greater ease than ever, even though their deeply premodern and fully non-Western objects of study would seem to make the use of these concepts especially fraught. In this probing study, Severin Fowles challenges us to consider just what is at stake in archaeological reconstructions of an enchanted past. Focusing on the Ancestral Pueblo societies of the American Southwest, he provocatively argues that the Pueblos—prior to missionization—did not have a religion at all, but rather something else, something glossed in the indigenous vernacular as “doings.” Fowles then outlines a new archaeology of doings that takes us far beyond the familiar terrain of premodern religion.

“An Archaeology of Doings provides a landmark contribution to the archaeology of religion and charts a course through which archaeology might bring its unique insights to the modern world.”—Scott Ortman, Omidyar Fellow, Santa Fe Institute

“This is a brilliant book that should be read by all anthropologists interested in understanding religion. It is simultaneously a fascinating history of Euro-Pueblo relations, a penetrating critique of our ontological categories, and a compelling argument that we have never really understood how non-Westerners understand the world.”—John Robb, University of Cambridge

THE CHACO EXPERIENCELandscape and Ideology at the Center Place

Ruth M. Van Dyke

In a remote canyon in northwest New Mexico, thousand-year-old sandstone walls shimmer in the

sunlight, stretching like ancient vertebrae against a turquoise sky. This storied place—Chaco Canyon—carries multiple layers of meaning for Native Americans and archaeologists, writers and tourists, explorers and artists. Here, isolation, the arid climate, and dry-laid construction have preserved ruins that are monuments to prehistoric creativity and perseverance. Chaco Canyon draws its power not only from the ancient architecture sheltered beneath its walls but also from the ever-changing light and the far-flung vistas of the Colorado Plateau. Light and shadow, stone and sky come together in the canyon. At the heart of this sky-filled landscape lie twelve massive great houses. The Chacoan landscape, with its formally constructed, carefully situated architectural features, is charged with symbolism. In this volume, archaeologist Ruth M. Van Dyke analyzes the meanings and experience of moving through this landscape to illuminate Chacoan beliefs and social relationships.

“Van Dyke selects a phenomenological approach to landscape that directs her to visibility, movement, memory, and cosmology. Her field methods included walking miles of ancient Chacoan roads.… Van Dyke’s descriptions of these walks, what she noticed and felt, augmented by her color photographs, are fascinating.”—Linda Cordell, Journal of Field Archaeology

ENDURING CONQUESTS Rethinking the Archaeology of Resistance to Spanish Colonialism in the Americas

Edited by Matthew Liebmann and Melissa S. Murphy

Enduring Conquests presents new interpretations of Native American

experiences under Spanish colonialism and challenges the reader to reexamine long-standing assumptions about the Spanish conquests of the Americas. The contributors to this volume reject the grand narrative that views this era as a clash of civilizations—a narrative produced centuries after the fact—to construct more comprehensive and complex social histories of Native American life after 1492 by employing the perspective of archaeology and focusing explicitly on the native side of the colonial equation.

Contributors: Robin A. Beck Jr., Kira Blaisdell-Sloan, Thomas H. Charlton, Minette C. Church, Guillermo Cock, Kathleen Deagan, Jennifer L. Dornan, Patricia Fournier, Elena Goycochea, Rosemary A. Joyce, Matthew Liebmann, David G. Moore, Melissa S. Murphy, Robert W. Preucel, Jeffrey Quilter, Christopher B. Rodning, Russell N. Sheptak, Barbara L. Voss, Steven A. Wernke, Jason Yaeger

“In Enduring Conquests, Matt Liebmann and Melissa Murphy assemble a sparkling, first-string lineup of scholars who take us far beyond the bloody battlefields and the documentary accounts of the Spanish conquests of the Americas. The contributors explore the patchwork of material culture consequences, harnessing a host of innovative archaeological techniques and theoretical perspectives to lay bare the stark and sometimes grisly realities of native resistance and pushback by colonists from afar.” —David Hurst Thomas, American Museum of Natural History

“Enduring Conquests is a welcome addition to the nascent literature on Pan-American historical archaeology.... Rethinking of the archaeology of resistance has been valuable because it encourages us to think in more nuanced ways. At the same time, we should not let variability overshadow the overall pattern of fundamental differentials in power created by colonialism that are legacies that last to today. This volume captures two senses of enduring conquests: the lasting legacy of inequalities and the creativity, ability, and staying power of indigenous peoples.”—Kathryn Sampeck, Anthropos

THE GREAT BASIN People and Place in Ancient Times

Edited by Catherine S. Fowler and Don D. FowlerThis book is about a place, the Great Basin of western North America, and the Native American people who lived there during the

past thirteen thousand years. The authors highlight the ingenious solutions people devised to sustain themselves in a difficult environment. The Great Basin is a semiarid and often harsh land, but one with life-giving oases. As the weather fluctuated from year to year, and the climate from decade to decade or even from one millennium to the next, the availability of water, plants, and animals also fluctuated. Only people who learned the land intimately and read the many signs of its changing moods were successful. The evidence of their success is often subtle and difficult to interpret from the few and fragile remains left behind for archaeologists to discover. Contributors: J. M. Adovasio, Richard V.N.

“Catherine and Don Fowlers’ edited volume offers 19 short chapters by knowledgeable researchers about how people lived in this challenging environment. The topics range from the region’s paleo-environments and its early peopling, to the Archaic period, to the Fremont culture and their rock art.

HISAT’SINOM Ancient Peoples in a Land Without Water

Edited by Christian E. Downum

The national monuments of Wupatki, Walnut Canyon, and Montezuma’s Castle showcase the treasures of the first people

who settled and developed farms, towns, and trade routes throughout northern Arizona and beyond. Hopis call these ancient peoples Hisat’sinom, and Spanish explorers named their hard, arid homeland the sierra sin agua, mountains without water. Indeed, much of the region receives less annual precipitation than the quintessential desert city of Tucson. In Hisat’sinom, archaeologists explain how the people of this region flourished, despite living in a place with very little water and extremes of heat and cold.

“A superb summary of the deep Native history in the area around Flagstaff, Arizona—the archaeological Sinagua region. What a lively history it was: volcanic eruptions; Chaco-meets-Hohokam geopolitics; violence on the frontiers! And, of course, families, clans, and villages that survived and even thrived amid alarms and excursions. This strikingly-illustrated volume is the ‘go-to’ resource for Sinagua. Leading researchers present their recent discoveries and new syntheses of past work.

2010 SOUTHWEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR, PANELIST PICK

A HISTORY OF THE ANCIENT SOUTHWESTStephen H. Lekson

According to archaeologist Stephen H. Lekson, much of what we think we know about the Southwest has been compressed

into conventions and classifications and orthodoxies. This book challenges and reconfigures these accepted notions by telling two parallel stories, one about the development, personalities, and institutions of Southwestern archaeology and the other about interpretations of events in the ancient past. While many works would have us believe that nothing much ever happened in the ancient Southwest, Lekson argues that the region experienced rises and falls, kings and commoners, war and peace, triumphs and failures. In his view, Chaco Canyon was a geopolitical reaction to the “Colonial Period” Hohokam expansion, and the Hohokam “Classic Period” was the product of refugee Chacoan nobles, chased off the Colorado Plateau by angry farmers. Far to the south, Casas Grandes was a failed attempt to create a Mesoamerican state, and modern Pueblo people—with societies so different from those at Chaco and Casas Grandes—deliberately rejected these monumental, hierarchical episodes of their past.

“Stephen Lekson has written among the most provocative and forward-looking books in archaeology today.… If you’ve never read a Lekson book, start here. You’ll find an archaeology that doesn’t take itself too seriously, written with literary flair, wit, and a dash of sarcasm as only Lekson can.”—Timothy Pauketat, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

THE HOHOKAM MILLENNIUMEdited by Suzanne K. Fish and Paul R. Fish

For a thousand years they flourished in the arid lands now part of Arizona. They built extensive waterworks, ballcourts,

and platform mounds, made beautiful pottery and jewelry, and engaged in wide-ranging trade networks. Then, slowly, their civilization faded and transmuted into something no longer Hohokam. Are today’s Tohono O’odham their heirs or their conquerors? The mystery and the beauty of Hohokam civilization are the subjects of the chapters in this volume. Written by archaeologists who have led the effort to excavate, record, and preserve the remnants of this ancient culture, the chapters illuminate the way the Hohokam organized their households and their communities, created their sophisticated pottery and textiles, built their irrigation system and the huge ballcourts and platform mounds, and much more.

“The word huhugam means something that is all gone, such as food or when something disappears. Huhugam is used to refer to those people who have disappeared. Who really knows who they were or what happened to them? Did they really all die off, as some theories say, or did all or some of them remain to be the forefathers of the modern-day Tohono O’odham? Today we are here, the Tohono O’odham, and we do not know how far our past generations go back in time. We just say that we go back to the Huhugam. We are here today, but we know that some time in the future we will also be called the Huhugam.”—Daniel Lopez, Tohono O’odham Community College

LIVING THE ANCIENT SOUTHWESTEdited by David Grant Noble

How did Southwestern peoples make a living in the vast arid reaches of the Great Basin? When and why did violence

erupt in the Mesa Verde region? Who were the Fremont people? How do some Hopis view Chaco Canyon? These are a few of the topics addressed in Living the Ancient Southwest. In this highly-illustrated anthology, general readers will discover essays by eighteen anthropologist-writers. They speak about the beauty and originality of Mimbres pottery, the rock paintings in Canyon de Chelly, the history of the Wupatki Navajos, O’odham songs describing ancient trails to the Pacific Coast, and other topics relating to the deep indigenous history and culture of the American Southwest.Contributors: Karen R.

MEDIEVAL MISSISSIPPIANSThe Cahokian World

Edited by Timothy R. Pauketat and Susan M. Alt

The eighth volume in the award-winning Popular Archaeology Series introduces a key historical

period in pre-Columbian eastern North America—the “Mississippian” era—via a series of colorful essays on places, practices, and peoples written from Native American and non-Native perspectives on the past. The volume lays out the basic contours of the early centuries of this era (AD 1000–1300) in the Mississippian heartland, making connections to later centuries and contemporary peoples. Cahokia the place and Cahokian social history undergird the book, but Mississippian material cultures, landscapes, and descendants are highlighted, presenting a balanced, colorful, and accessible view of the Mississippian world.

MIMBRES LIVES AND LANDSCAPES Edited by Margaret C. Nelson and Michelle Hegmon

People have called the mountains, rolling hills, wide valleys, and broad desert plains

of southwestern New Mexico home for at least ten thousand years. When they began to farm a little more than two thousand years ago, they settled near the rich soils in the river floodplains. Then, around 900 CE, the people of this region burned all of their kivas and started gathering in large villages with small ritual spaces and open plazas. Between about 900 and 1100 CE, they also made the intricately painted geometric and figurative bowls in a style that is today called Mimbres, their best-known legacy. In the 1130s they stopped making this kind of pottery and drifted out of villages to more dispersed settlements. These dramatic changes frame the story told in Mimbres Lives and Landscapes. The well-illustrated essays in this book offer the latest archaeological research to explain what we know and what questions still remain about the ancient people of this region. Beginning with an overview of the abrupt change in lifestyle that launched the distinctive Mimbres culture, the book explores the lives of men and women, their sustenance, the changing nature of leadership, and the possible meanings of their dramatic pottery designs.

NAVAJOS IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH RECORDS OF NEW MEXICO, 1694–1875David M. Brugge

In the past, the history of many Indian nations was murky and dim, written in large part by outsiders

unfamiliar with the peoples and their cultures. Though that has changed today as Native peoples have increasingly written their own comprehensive and insightful histories, there still remains the need for an impartial analysis such as this history of the Diné (Navajo) written by David M. Brugge in 1968 (first published by the Navajo Tribe and with a second printing in 1985 by Navajo Community College Press). Combining archaeological evidence with Navajo cultural precepts, Brugge has used the records of the oldest European institution in the American Southwest—the Catholic Church—to shed light on the practices, causes, and effects of Spanish, Mexican, and American occupation on the Navajo Nation. David M. Brugge (1927–2013) had childhood interests that led him to the University of New Mexico, from which he graduated in 1950 with a BA in anthropology. In 1958 he began research to provide data for various land claims, which bacame the basis for this book. In 1968 he joined the National Park Service and later served as staff curator at the Southwest Regional Office in Santa Fe.

OPENING ARCHAEOLOGY Repatriation’s Impact on Contemporary Research and Practice

Edited by Thomas W. Killion

In 1989–90 Congress enacted two laws, the National Museum

of the American Indian Act and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, which required museums and other repositories of Native American human remains and cultural items to consult with, share information about, and return some items to federally recognized Indian tribes and to Native Alaskan and Hawaiian communities. What effects have these laws had on anthropological practice, theory, and education in the United States? In 2004–2005, SAR and the Society for Applied Anthropology gathered together a group of anthropological archaeologists to address this question. This volume presents their conclusions and urges a continuing and increasing cooperation between anthropologists and indigenous peoples.

“This thought-provoking collection of essays draws scholarly attention to one of the unintended consequences of repatriation, that is, how NAGPRA and the NMAI Act have increased interaction with Native Americans in a positive manner that is significantly changing archaeological method, theory, and practice.”—T.

NEW!A PUEBLO SOCIAL HISTORYKinship, Sodality, and Community in the Northern Southwest

John A. WareForeword by Timothy Earle

A Pueblo Social History explores the intersection of archaeology, ethnohistory, and ethnology. Ware argues that all of the key Pueblo social, ceremonial, and political institutions—and their relative importance across the Pueblo world—can only be explained in terms of indigenous social history stretching back nearly two millennia. He shows that the principal community organizations of the Pueblos emerged for the first time nearly thirteen hundred years ago, and that the interaction of these organizations would forge most of the unique social practices and institutions described in the historical Pueblo ethnographies. This book offers new perspectives on the pithouse to pueblo transition, Chaco

phenomenon, evolution of Rio Grande moieties, Western Pueblo lineages and clans, Katsina cult, great kivas, dynamics of village aggregation in the late prehistoric period, and much more. In the tradition of classic anthropological writings, Ware focuses on the details of a particular case as it carries general lessons to the discipline. In the words of Timothy Earle, “A Pueblo Social History contains a subtle call to reconceive an anthropology grounded in the principles that made our discipline distinctive.”

“A Pueblo Social History is a grand new synthesis that transforms current understandings of the Puebloan past. Unusually for an archaeologist, Ware has a detailed knowledge of Pueblo ethnography, especially social organization, and its theoretical explanation by ethnologists. Refreshingly, he insists such ethnography is crucial to explaining prehistoric Puebloan social formations—lately an unpopular position among archaeologists allergic to ‘ethnographic analogy’ and in thrall to modish philosophical abstractions. Ware’s particular attention to kinship and ritual structures provides a vital sociocultural lens, just as kinship is seeing a renaissance in anthropology. His mastery of many scattered sources, sites, time-periods, and ethnographic facts brings a broad and deep coherence to Puebloan archaeology that has been sorely lacking. Serious dialog between Southwestern archaeology and ethnology has been neglected for far too long, to the analytical impoverishment of both. A Pueblo Social History deftly reinvigorates that dialog, persuasively demonstrating its benefits to scientific explanation.” —Peter M. Whiteley, American Museum of Natural History

“This fine volume guides Southwesternists to rediscovery of forgotten ethnography about our near Native American neighbors. Ware questions American researchers’ focus on individuality and individual agency, and replaces categorical thinking with an analysis of the dynamic relationships among social collectives—kin-based groups and ritual sodalities. Most importantly, he emphasizes that centuries-old Pueblo institutions are alive and well; the story is not one of disjunction, but one of persistence and resistance to ‘modernization.’” —Kelley Hays-Gilpin, Museum of Northern Arizona

NEW!CASH ON THE TABLEMarkets, Values, and Moral Economies

Edited by Edward F. Fischer

A great deal is at stake in understanding the moral dimensions of economic behavior and markets. Public debates over executive compensation, the fair trade movement, and recent academic inquiries into the limitations of rational-choice paradigms all point to the relevance of moral values in our economic decision-making processes. Moral values inform economic behavior. On its face, this proposition is unassailable. Think of the often spiritual appeal of consumer goods or the value-laden stakes of upward or downward mobility. Consider the central role that moral questions regarding poverty, access to health care, the tax code, property and land rights, and corruption play in the shaping of modern governments, societies, and social movements. Ponder the meaning of fair trade coffee and organic produce as well as Walmart’s everyday low

prices. The moral aspects of the marketplace have never been so contentious or consequential; however, the realm of economics is often treated as a world unto itself, a domain where human behavior is guided not by emotions, beliefs, moralities, or the passions that fascinate anthropologists but by the hard fact of rational choices. Anthropologists have historically tended to focus on the corrosive effects of markets on traditional lifeways and the ways in which global markets disadvantage marginalized peoples. Economists often have difficulty recognizing that markets are embedded in particular social and political power structures and that “free” market transactions are

often less free than we might think. If anthropologists could view markets a bit more ecumenically and if economists could view them a bit more politically, then great value—cash on the table—could be found in bringing these perspectives together.

CONFRONTING CANCER Metaphors, Advocacy, and Anthropology

Edited by Juliet McMullin and Diane Weiner

The World Health Organization (WHO) reported more than 7 million deaths from cancer—2.5

percent of all deaths—in 2005. Each year there are approximately 11 million new cases, and WHO expects the number to double by 2020. Although the disease is not uncommon in rich nations, 70 percent of cancer deaths occur in low- and middle-income regions and countries. The growing frequency of the disease reinforces its significance as a metaphor for lack of control and degeneration and as a signifier of difference, something that is part of one’s body and the world and yet completely unacceptable. In this book, anthropologists examine the experiences of individuals confronting cancer and reveal the social context in which prevention and treatment may succeed or fail.

Contributors: Leo R. Chavez, Deborah O. Erwin, Suzanne Heurtin-Roberts, Marjorie Kagawa-Singer, Anastasia Karakasidou, Simon J. Craddock Lee, Holly F. Mathews, Juliet McMullin, Paul Stoller, Diane Weiner

“Confronting Cancer offers a highly engaging examination of the anthropology of cancer.… Authored by many of the leading figures in the field, this edited volume moves beyond examination to action, documenting the application of anthropological approaches and insights in the alleviation of suffering among people living with cancer. Thus [the book] exhibits the best of anthropology in its confrontation with the worst of human conditions.”—Merrill Singer, University of Connecticut

“The contributors in Confronting Cancer...ask us to re-examine our stale assumptions and misuse of such concepts as culture, health disparities, and multiculturalism. The book is both timely and relevant for students, researchers, and practitioners who want to help those who feel powerless or misunderstood when confronted by cancer.”—Jennie Joe, University of Arizona

DANGEROUS LIAISONSAnthropologists and the National Security State

Edited by Laura A. McNamara and Robert A. Rubinstein

Dangerous Liaisons is a book about intersections. It is a product

of two years’ worth of discussions among a group of ethnographers from four different countries with a variety of experiences studying war, violence, the military, and the state. In some ways this book is distinctly a product of our times due to the terrorist attacks on American embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, the later attack on the United States on September 11, 2001, the United States’ declaration of a Global War on Terror, and the subsequent invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. Throughout the first decade of the new century anthropologists have watched with both interest and concern as government agencies—particularly those with military and intelligence functions—have sought their professional assistance in understanding terrorists’ motivations, stabilizing nascent wartime governments, and countering insurgencies. Dangerous Liaisons also explores long-standing tensions in anthropology regarding the discipline’s relationship to the state.

Contributors: Eyal Ben-Ari, R. Brian Ferguson, Douglas P. Fry, Danny Hoffman, Anne Irwin, Laura A. McNamara, David Price, Robert A. Rubinstein, Maren Tomforde

“There has been a surge of interest in the anthropology of military institutions in recent years, and this book helps relieve the scarcity of texts that those working in this area can turn to for guidance, insight, and legitimation. But Dangerous Liaisons’ audience is not limited to specialists: the questions of ethics, positioning, and institutional mechanisms will speak to anthropologists of medicine, development, and humanitarianism, as well as to those working in the many parts where daily life is shaped by local and international military entities.”—Ken MacLeish, Anthropos

DEMOCRACY Anthropological Approaches

Edited by Julia Paley

In recent decades, powerful institutions have packaged Western democracy for export around the globe. Although Western democracy is grounded in specific historical

experiences and cultural assumptions, advocates have generally taken its normative status for granted. So, too, have most academics. Yet if democracy is broadly understood as government by “the people,” it must necessarily differ according to “the people” in question. Just what “the will of the people” is and how it might be realized become questions of pressing importance. Rather than advance alternative definitions of democracy, celebrate alternative democracies, or posit alternatives to democracy, the contributors to this volume focus on the ways specific definitions of democracy are advanced and others eclipsed, and how certain claims to represent “the will of the people” gain currency as others are silenced. While scholars of democracy have proposed one definitive model after another, the authors suggest that democracy is by nature an open-ended set of questions about the workings of power—questions best engaged through the dialogical processes of fieldwork and ethnographic writing.

Contributors: Mukulika Banerjee, Kimberley Coles, Carol J. Greenhouse, Akhil Gupta, David Nugent, Julia Paley, Jennifer Schirmer, Harry G. West

“What do anthropologists have to add to the understanding of democracy, perhaps the most taken for granted, overused term in our political lexicon? A great deal, as it turns out, much of it subversive of received wisdom. This volume does a highly impressive job of interrogating what the term actually means in different contexts, how democracy is conceptualized and practiced in different times and places, and why we ought to relinquish many of our preconceptions about it. A major achievement, this, in the critical study of politics.”—John Comaroff, University of Chicago

estimated 15 million people every year in the process of converting farmlands, fishing grounds, forests, and homes into reservoirs, irrigation systems, mines, plantations, colonization projects, highways, urban renewal zones, industrial complexes, and tourist resorts. Aimed at generating economic growth and strengthening the region or nation, these projects have all too often left local people permanently displaced, disempowered, and destitute. Because there can be no return to land submerged under a dam-created lake or to a neighborhood buried under a stadium or throughway, the solutions displaced people need must be durable. The contributors to this volume analyze the failures of existing resettlement policies and propose just such solutions.

THE FUTURES OF OUR PASTSEthical Implications of Collecting Antiquities in the Twenty-first Century

Edited by Michael A. Adler and Susan Benton Bruning

Ownership of “the past”—a concept invoking age-old struggles to possess and control ancient objects—is an essential theme in understanding our global cultural heritage. Beyond ownership, however, lies the need for stewardship: the responsibility to serve as custodians of ancient objects for the benefit of present and future generations. Peru is battling Yale University over artifacts from Machu Picchu, Italy is demanding the return of treasured objects from museums and collectors alike, and Native American tribes and other indigenous communities seek to reclaim important cultural items and rebury human remains and funerary objects taken from their lands. In the middle of this roiling debate over who has the right to collect and display antiquities, a group of scholars convened to discuss differing perspectives on the ethics of antiquities collecting.

“The Futures of Our Pasts tackles a timely and vitally important topic: the legal, ethical, social, and political dimensions of the antiquities market. Although this topic is buttressed by an extensive literature, all too often it is only one side speaking out (or against) the other. Not so with this balanced examination.”—Chip Colwell-Chanthaphonh, Curator of Anthropology, Denver Museum of Nature and Science

FORCES OF COMPASSION Humanitarianism Between Ethics and Politics

Edited by Erica Bornstein and Peter Redfield

Suffering and charity have a long history. Both human sorrows and

attempted remedies were familiar features of life in earlier eras and religious traditions; however, during the final decades of the twentieth century, natural disasters and civilian casualties of war transformed into “humanitarian crises.” In these recurring dramas presented by international media, an extensive network of interstate entities and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) supplies assistance to victims. The contemporary aid world is a mosaic of aid sectors, each skewed slightly toward a particular aspect of need and action. The development sector focuses on alleviating poverty, while the human rights sector aims to rectify identifiable wrongs. Humanitarianism directly addresses physical and psychological suffering. The contributors to Forces of Compassion examine this sector through the lens of anthropology, looking at dominant practices, tensions, and beliefs.Contributors: Jonathan Benthall, Erica Bornstein, Harri Englund, Didier Fassin, Ilana Feldman, Sandra Teresa Hyde, Mariella Pandolfi, Peter Redfield, Miriam Ticktin

“Humanitarian action is now the mission of a large field of NGOs and attracts both the money and the moral indignation of millions. Yet social science has been slow to recognize the importance of humanitarianism and also to analyze its historical and cultural roots and particularities. Forces of Compassion is among the most important books yet published for those who want to go behind dramatic images and headlines to ask why the suffering of distant strangers is compelling, why response is organized in the specific ways it is, and what unintended consequences are bundled into humanitarian action.”—Craig Calhoun, President of the Social Science Research Council and University Professor of the Social Sciences at NYU

INDIANS & ENERGY Exploitation and Opportunity in the American Southwest

Edited by Sherry L. Smith and Brian Frehner

Indians & Energy explores the ways people have transformed natural resources in the American Southwest

into fuel supplies for human consumption. Not only do Native Americans possess a large percentage of the Southwest’s total acreage, but much of the nation’s coal, oil, and uranium resources reside on tribal lands. Regional weather and climate patterns have also enabled Native people to take advantage of solar and wind power as sources of energy; however, complex issues related to energy and Indians transcend the region—and the nation. The contributors believe that the lessons of the Southwest can illuminate broader trends in other places. Their intent is not to end but to join the conversation and encourage others to do the same. They consider the intricate relationship between development and Indian communities in the Southwest with the hope that an understanding of patterns in the past might be useful in guiding policies and decisions in the future.

Published in cooperation with the William P. Clements Center for Southwest Studies, Southern Methodist University.

“The theme of Native Americans and energy in the Southwest is important and timely; important given the very large role that energy development has for so many southwestern tribes and the entire region; and timely because it raises such pressing questions at the intersection of debates about Native identity and tribal sovereignty, tradition and modernity, and environmental politics at a moment when global warming has brought the problem of America’s thirst for energy to the forefront.”—Orin Starn, author of Ishi’s Brain: In Search of America’s Last “Wild” Indian

KEYSTONE NATIONSIndigenous Peoples and Salmon across the North Pacific

Edited by Benedict J. Colombi and James F. Brooks

The histories and futures of indigenous peoples and salmon

are inextricably bound across the vast ocean expanse and rugged coastlines of the North Pacific. Keystone Nations addresses this enmeshment and the marriage of the biological and social sciences that have led to the research discussed in this book. Salmon stocks and indigenous peoples across the northern Pacific region represent a significance beyond their size in maintaining the viability and legitimacy of ecological and political systems. Both species’ futures are simultaneously a matter of the conservation concerns of natural scientists and the political agenda of indigenous sovereignty movements that arc across the northern hemisphere. If wild salmon vanish in the North Pacific, as they largely have in the North Atlantic, their absence will herald the cascading failure of a complete marine system. If indigenous peoples vanish from the North Pacific, as they largely have in the North Atlantic, their absence will sound the failure of the world’s dominant political powers to recognize the human right to cultural expression and survival.Contributors: James F. Brooks, Courtney Carothers, Benedict J. Colombi, Sibyl Diver, Erich Kasten, David Koester, Marianne Elisabeth Lien, Charles R. Menzies, Katherine Reedy-Maschner, Victoria N.

“Keystone Nations examines unique coastal cultures that have managed fisheries for several millennia. The Itelmen, Koryak, Aleut, Sugpiaq, and Nimiipuu peoples have all made their lives from our oceans. This book warns of what can happen if we don’t change how we manage our harvesting of fish from the ocean. Ask yourself, how can we change our fisheries’ policies so they are sustainable for our global community? Do you want your children’s children to have fish to eat too?” —Sven Haakanson, Executive Director Alutiiq Museum

NEW!(MIS)MANAGING MIGRATIONGuestworkers’ Experiences with North American Labor Markets

Edited by David Griffith

Today managed migration is growing in North America. This mirrors the general growth of migration from poorer to richer countries, with more than 200 million people now living outside their natal countries. Faced with this phenomenon, managed migration enables nation-states to regulate those population movements; direct foreign nationals to specific, identified economic sectors that citizens are less likely to care about; match employers who claim labor shortages with highly motivated workers; and offer people from poorer countries higher earning potential abroad through temporary absence from their families and homelands. Characterized like this, managed migration sounds like the ideal alternative to unregulated, undocumented migration. Unfortunately, as the contributors to this volume describe, managed migration does not always work on the ground as well as it does on paper.

“This is an extremely valuable collection of articles on a theme of great contemporary importance and interest. Whereas single-authored books have appeared on particular groups of recent (post-war) Temporary Foreign Workers Programs, there is nothing with the breadth that we encounter here, nothing that takes on in comparative fashion TFWPs throughout the North American region.” —Leigh Binford, City University of New York

“This is a strong and coherent book, with chapters that collectively present an interesting, important, and insightful account of the past and present of managed migration in the United States and Canada. I learned a considerable amount from (Mis)managing Migration. It should be read by scholars interested in labor and migration in a variety of disciplines, including, but not limited to, anthropology, geography, history, political science, and sociology.” —Gretchen Purser, Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University

NEW LANDSCAPES OF INEQUALITY Neoliberalism and the Erosion of Democracy in America

Edited by Jane L. Collins,Micaela di Leonardo,and Brett Williams

The twenty-first century opened with a rapidly growing array of markers

of human misery: endemic warfare, natural disasters, global epidemics, and climate change. Behind the dismal headlines are a series of closely connected, long-term political-economic processes, often glossed as the rise of neoliberal capitalism. This phenomenon rests on the presumption that capitalist trade “liberalization” will lead inevitably to market growth and optimal ends. But so far the results have not been positive. Focusing on the United States, the contributors to this volume analyze how the globalization of newly untrammeled capitalism has exacerbated preexisting inequalities; how the retreat of the benevolent state and the rise of the punitive, imperial state are related; how poorly privatized welfare institutions provide services; how neoliberal and neo-conservative ideologies are melding; and how recurrent moral panics misrepresent class, race, gender, and sexual realities.

NATURE, SCIENCE, AND RELIGIONIntersections Shaping Society and the Environment

Edited by Catherine M. Tucker

This book is about the complicated and provocative ways nature, science, and religion intersect in real

settings where people attempt to live in harmony with their physical environment. Scholars of philosophy, religious studies, and science and technology have been at the forefront of critiquing the roles of religion and science in human interactions with the natural world. Meanwhile, researchers in the environmental sciences have encountered disciplinary barriers to examining the possibility that religious beliefs influence social–ecological behaviors and processes simply because the issue resists quantitative assessment. The contributors to this book explore how scientific knowledge and spiritual beliefs are engaged to shape natural resource management, environmental activism, and political processes.

Contributors Andrea Ballestero, Marthinus L. Daneel, Anne Motley Hallum, Adrian J. Ivakhiv, Colleen M. Scanlan Lyons, Andrew S. Mathews, Kristin Norget, Joel Robbins, Scott Schnell, Catherine M. Tucker

“This fascinating book admirably succeeds in navigating the complexities of a challenging and conflicted landscape. It refreshingly provides new nuanced understandings grounded in a set of penetrating case studies. These engaged and engaging scholars adeptly illuminate some of the ways that people of religious faith are considering environmental matters while others including environmentalists are considering the relevance of religious faiths for environmental concerns. This book is most welcome and valuable as a pioneering multidisciplinary contribution to the new intellectual and pragmatic frontier scrutinizing the dynamic interrelationships among religions and ecologies.”—Leslie E. Sponsel, author of Spiritual Ecology: A Quiet Revolution

TIMELY ASSETS The Politics of Resources and Their Temporalities

Edited by Elizabeth Emma Ferry and Mandana E. Limbert

Oil is running out. What is more, its final depletion, once relegated to a misty future, now seems imminent. In

all the more or less apocalyptic discussions of oil and similar depleted resources, nature, labor, and time converge. This volume focuses on how resources, resource-making, and resource-claiming are entangled with experiences of time. Particular expressions of “resource imaginations” often have a strongly temporal aspect: they frame the past, present, and future in certain ways; they propose or preclude certain kinds of time reckoning; they inscribe teleologies; they are imbued with affects of time—nostalgia, hope, dread, spontaneity, and so on. Examining resources as various as silver in Mexico, “diversity” in an American university, and historical documents in Indonesia, the contributors to this volume ask several questions: Under what conditions and with what consequences do people find something to be a resource? What kinds of temporal experiences, concepts, or narratives does thinking of things as resources entail? How does the making and imagining of resources assume or condition particular understandings of past, present, and future? How do understandings of time shape the ways resources are named, managed, or allocated?

Contributors: Courtney Childs, Paul K. Eiss, Elizabeth Emma Ferry, Richard Handler, Mandana E. Limbert, Celia Lowe, Erik Mueggler, Paul Nadasdy, Huong Nguyen, Karen Strassler

“The grounded ethnographic treatment of the multiplicity of temporal relations…in this collection is revelatory. The focus on the ‘future-to-be’ many of these [chapters] provide is a particularly useful contribution to a new and exciting conversation emerging about the future as an ethnographic site.”—Pete Richardson, University of Michigan

RECENTLY PUBLISHEDIMAGES THAT MOVEEdited by Patricia Spyer and Mary Margaret Steedly

Images play a significant part in projects of “poetic world-making” and political transformation. They participate in the production of commensuration or of incommensurability, enact moments of prophecy or exposure, and attract or repel spectators’ attention. But any examination of images in motion must also recognize the blockages and breakdowns that prevent their movement, as well as the enframings or “stickinesses” that trap them in particular places and prevent them from reaching others. Images That Move explores topics ranging from high art to mass media, religious iconography to pornography, and popular photography to political cartoons in a range of contexts and media including photography in early twentieth-century China, art and literature in contemporary South Africa, upscale real estate development in India, occult

media images and the aesthetic of appearance in urban Indonesia, and film censorship in Nigeria.

NEW!INDIAN POLICIES IN THE AMERICASfrom Columbus to Collier and Beyond

William Y. Adams

William Y. Adams grew up in an Indian Service family in an Indian Service town in the 1930s. Window Rock, Arizona was the newly founded administrative capital for the vast Navajo reservation, and all 298 of its residents were Indian Bureau employees or their families. With the exception of a few low-level service personnel, none were Navajo, nor did they have any detailed familiarity with the world of hogans and corrals. They were technocrats, skilled in agriculture, range management, forestry, mining, education, public health, and law enforcement, among other things. Despite their varied backgrounds and skills, they shared a common determination to “do right by the Indians” after decades of government neglect and mismanagement.

That concept, however, originated not in Window Rock but in Washington, the administrative headquarters of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. In the years following World War II, Adams lived and worked among Navajos and Hopis in a number of different capacities. As an archaeological explorer, an ethnologist, an interviewer for the Arizona Bureau of Ethnic Research, a livestock drive foreman, and—perhaps most importantly—a trader, he became aware of the myth of the Indian: a belief in “the Indian” as a kind of unitary, symbolic figure, who stood as the surrogate for hundreds of tribes, cultures, and languages spread across the American continent. In Indian Policies in the Americas, Adams addresses the idea that “the Indian,” as conceived by colonial powers and later by different postcolonial interest groups, was as much ideology as empirical reality. Adams surveys the policies of the various colonial and postcolonial powers, then reflects upon the great ideological, moral, and intellectual issues that underlay those policies.

NEW!KATHERINE DUNHAMRecovering an Anthropological Legacy, Choreographing Ethnographic Futures

Edited by Elizabeth Chin

Katherine Dunham was an anthropologist. One of the first African Americans to obtain a degree in anthropology, she conducted groundbreaking fieldwork in Jamaica and Haiti in the early 1930s and wrote several books including Journey to Accompong, Island Possessed, and Las Danzas de Haiti. Decades before Margaret Mead was publishing for popular audiences in Redbook, Dunham wrote ethnographically informed essays for Esquire and Mademoiselle under the pseudonym Kaye Dunn. Katherine Dunham was a dancer. The first person to head a black modern dance company, Dunham toured the world, appeared in numerous films in the United States

and abroad, and worked globally to promote the vitality and relevance of African diasporic dance and culture. Dunham was a cultural advisor, teacher, Kennedy Center honoree, and political activist. This book explores Katherine Dunham’s contribution to anthropology and the ongoing relevance of her ideas and methodologies, rejecting the notion that art and academics need to be cleanly separated from each other. Drawing from Dunham’s holistic vision, the contributors began to experiment with how to bring the practice of art back into the discipline of anthropology—and vice versa.

NEW!OUR LIVESCollaboration, Native Voice, and the Making of the National Museum of the American Indian

Jennifer A. Shannon

In 2004 the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) opened to the general public. This book, in the broadest sense, is about how that museum became what it is today. For many Native individuals, the NMAI, a prominent and permanent symbol of Native presence in America, in the shadow of the Capitol and at the center of federal power, is a triumph. At the grand opening, the museum’s main message was “We are still here.” This message was most directly displayed in Our Lives: Contemporary Life and Identities, one of the NMAI’s inaugural exhibitions and the main focus of this book.

Ultimately, this is a record of the sincere efforts—and conflicts and achievements—experienced by those who planned, developed, and constructed the NMAI’s inaugural exhibitions. It is a narrowly focused account of a particular kind of curatorial practice called “community curating.” It is also an account of many different people struggling to do their best under the weight of a monumental task: to represent all Native peoples of the Americas in the first institution of its kind, a national museum dedicated to the first peoples of the hemisphere.

“In this eagerly awaited text that serves as the first sole-authored scholarly book focusing exclusively on the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, Jennifer Shannon provides an in-depth analysis of the development process for the Our Lives exhibition, one of three inaugural exhibits that opened on the National Mall in 2004. Being present at the creation of the gallery and working closely with both NMAI staff and community collaborators during the process provided her with important firsthand knowledge on the discussions and negotiations taking place behind the scenes. Shannon takes the reader on an illuminating journey through these deliberations, and she provides thoughtful analysis on the process and final outcome. The book is methodologically rigorous and engagingly written. It should be required reading by scholars and practitioners alike, and by anyone interested in understanding the complex process of developing community collaborative museum exhibitions in the twenty-first century. This is museum ethnography at its finest and Jennifer Shannon’s work makes an important and timely contribution to the fields of anthropology, indigenous studies, and museum studies.” —Amy Lonetree, University of California, Santa Cruz, author of Decolonizing Museums: Representing Native America in National and Tribal Museums

STREET ECONOMIES IN THE URBAN GLOBAL SOUTHEdited by Karen Tranberg Hansen, Walter E. Little, and B. Lynne Milgram

This book focuses on the economic, political, social, and cultural dynamics of street economies across the urban Global South. The contributors present cases from postsocialist Vietnam to a struggling democracy in the Philippines, from the former command economies in Africa to previously authoritarian regimes in Latin America. Although contestations over public space have a long history, Street Economies in the Urban Global South presents the argument that the recent conjuncture of neoliberal

economic policies and unprecedented urban growth in the Global South has changed the equation. The detailed ethnographic accounts focus on the experiences of often marginalized street workers who describe their projects and plans. Using ethnographic evidence, the contributors highlight individual and collective resistance by street vendors to overcome the numerous processes and factors exacerbating marginality and disempowerment of street economy work.

Contributors: Florence E. Babb, Ray Bromley, Gracia C. Clark, Karen Tranberg Hansen, Maria Hedman, Walter E. Little, Ilda Lindell, B. Lynne Milgram, Wilma S. Nchito, Suzanne Scheld, Linda J. Seligmann, Lydia Siu, Sarah Turner, Kyle-Nathan Verboomen

“In recent years ‘the street’ is everywhere in uprisings and economies, yet mostly neglected as a general topic for scholars. This exciting collection of studies is an important corrective, with insightful and well researched analyses of the places where the vast informal sector operates and makes urban landscapes vital and diverse. These rich and informative contributions revitalize the anthropological tradition of research on market vendors in the Global South.” —Alan Smart, University of Calgary

RECENTLY PUBLISHED VITAL RELATIONS Modernity and the Persistent Life of Kinship

Edited by Susan McKinnon and Fenella Cannell

For more than 150 years, theories of social evolution, development, and modernity have been unanimous in their assumption that kinship organizes simpler, “traditional,” pre-state societies but not complex, “modern,” state societies. And these theories have been unanimous in their presupposition that within modern state-based societies kinship has been relegated to the domestic domain, has lost its economic and political functions, has retained no organizing force in modern political and economic structures and processes, and has become secularized and rationalized. Vital Relations challenges these notions. It will be of interest to anyone who wishes to gain a different perspective on the

concept of modernity itself, and on the place of kinship and “family” in modern life.

“Vital Relations is an enlightening book with far-reaching implications for the perception of the place the study of kinship holds in sociocultural anthropology. We have been waiting for this book, and I say this not just as someone interested in the subject field, and in anthropology at large, but as a teacher. Kinship courses have for too long relied on the debates about assisted conception (new reproductive technologies) and its ramifications to make the point that kinship issues are of our times; these chapters offer a wealth of concisely argued case material across a spectrum of contexts to correct the balance. It will be a brilliant teaching tool!”—Marilyn Strathern, University of Cambridge

“This is a fresh, thought provoking, and timely book. Vital Relations addresses the relationship between kinship and ‘modernity’ in novel ways. There has been a long-standing tendency within the discipline of sociocultural anthropology to view kinship as central to the organization of small-scale societies and playing only a limited role in modern life. The assumption has been that as societies move from being simple to being complex, kinship essentially withers away in favor of relationships organized on the basis of political and economic factors. The chapters in this volume beautifully challenge this set of assumptions. This is anthropology at its best—rich in ethnographic detail and new analytical insights.”—Sandra Bamford, University of Toronto

“Vital Relations is a vital work. It restores to anthropology a critical focus on kinship that was erased by the self-congratulatory discourse of modernity. But in place of yesteryear’s focus on abstruse (if important) aspects of complex terminologies, this new approach tears aside the veil of disinterestedness that modern institutions such as the nation-state have constructed for themselves, and reveals a persistent emphasis on kinship in ideologically improbable places. In riveting, empirically grounded chapters drawn from a rich array of cultural contexts ranging from ghosts in Malaysian blood banks to the place of kinship in state systems and its impact on an imagined global future, the authors challenge the power of institutions to disguise their own fundamental dependence on kinship. No responsible analyst of modernity will henceforth be able to pretend that kinship has become irrelevant.”—Michael Herzfeld, Ernest E. Monrad Professor of the Social Sciences, Harvard University

BIOINSECURITY AND VULNERABILITYEdited by Nancy N. Chen and Lesley A. Sharp

Life today is filled with rapid-fire “high alert” responses, a proliferating trend that is especially pronounced in the United States, where past catastrophes shape expanding perceptions of

imminent danger. September 11, 2001 looms as an inescapable spectral presence, defining an important baseline for tightening biosecurity measures; however, one need only consider a cursory list of other calamities, some of which are decades old, to realize the propensity for localized dangers to go global. The AIDS pandemic, hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, mad cow disease, avian and swine flus, the tsunami of 2004, and the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear crises all instigated security measures on a grand scale. Beneath the aegis of a new world order of disaster awareness, human safety is considered tenuous at best. “Biosecurity” has ballooned into an increasingly mundane aspect of human experience, serving as a catchall for the detection, surveillance, containment, and deflection of everything from epidemics and natural disasters to resource scarcities and political insurgencies. The bundling together of security measures, its associated infrastructure, and its modes of governance alongside response times underscores a new urgency of preparedness—a growing global ethos ever alert to unforeseen danger—and actions that favor risk assessment, imagined worst-case scenarios, and carefully orchestrated, preemptive interventions.Contributors: Steven C. Caton, Nancy N. Chen, Joseph Masco, Monir Moniruzzaman, Carolyn Rouse, Lesley A. Sharp, Glenn Davis Stone, Ida Susser, David Vine, Michael J. Watts

FIGURING THE FUTURE Globalization and the Temporalities of Children and Youth

Edited by Jennifer Cole and Deborah Durham

Child laborers in South Asia, child soldiers in Sierra Leone and Uganda,

Chinese youth playing computer games to earn virtual gold, youth involved in sex trafficking in the former Soviet republics and Thailand: these are just some of the young people featured in current media. The idea that young people are more malleable and the truisms that “youth are the future” or “children are our hope for the future” give news stories and scholarly accounts added meaning. To address how and why youth and children have come to seem so important to globalization, the contributors to this book look at both the spatial relations and the temporal dimensions of globalization in places as far apart as Oakland, California, and Tamatave, Madagascar, in situations as disparate as the idealization of childhood innocence and the brutal lives of street children. Discourses of—and practices by—youth and children, from the design of toys to political mobilization, are critical sites through which people everywhere conceive of, produce, contest, and naturalize the new futures.

GLOBAL HEALTH IN TIMES OF VIOLENCEEdited by Barbara Rylko-Bauer, Linda Whiteford, and Paul Farmer

What are the prospects for human health in a world threatened by disease and violence? Since World

War II, at least 160 wars have erupted around the globe. More than 24 million people have died in these conflicts, and millions more suffered illness and injury. In this volume, leading scholars and practitioners examine the impact of structural, military, and communal violence on health, psychosocial well-being, and health care delivery. Contributors: Philippe Bourgois, Paul Farmer, Didier Fassin, H. K. Heggenhougen, Carolyn Nordstrom, James Quesada, Barbara Rylko-Bauer, Merrill Singer, Linda Whiteford

“[This book] will make an important contribution to the growing field of the anthropology of violence. People will read this volume because of the topic, its timeliness, and the reputation of the participants…it provides very useful and important cases and analyses of structural violence and how it links to individual experience and health.”—Tom Leatherman, University of South Carolina

“The theoretical discussions and extensive integration with anthropological studies of different kinds of violence in various settings displayed in each chapter make this an ideal choice for graduate courses. Underemphasized in the prologue and epilogue is the theme of hope and health, of resilience in the face of violence both episodic and chronic. Yet this volume is filled with accounts of resilience and resourcefulness.”—Jean N. Scandlyn, Medical Anthropology Quarterly

“The majority of the authors devote a portion of their chapter to a discussion of what can be done to address structural violence and its impact on health.… The editors believe in the need to witness, advocate, expose in the hopes of making even a small difference in perspectives, policies, and ultimately, peoples’ health in these times of global violence. This spirit…as presented by some of the leading anthropologists researching health and violence, make this volume a significant contribution to the ever-growing literature on violence studies.”—Heidi Bauer-Clapp, Landscapes of Violence

THE GLOBAL MIDDLE CLASSESTheorizing Through Ethnography

Edited by Rachel Heiman, Carla Freeman, and Mark Liechty

Surging middle-class aspirations and anxieties throughout the world have recently compelled anthropologists

to pay serious attention to middle classes and middle-class spaces, sentiments, lifestyles, labors, and civic engagements. Middle classness has become a powerful category for self-identification, while political and corporate leaders increasingly hail “the middle classes” as the ideal subject-citizenry. Ethnographically rich and culturally particular, the essays in this volume elucidate middle-class experience and discourse and in so doing add critical nuance to theories of class itself.Contributors: Krisztina Fehérváry, Carla Freeman, Rachel Heiman, Carla Jones, Cindi Katz, Mark Liechty, Samuli Schielke, Sanjay Srivastava, Rihan Yeh, Li Zhang

“The middle classes, robust in some countries, but fragile in others, exert significant impact on the fate of nations and continents. In a trailblazing departure, The Global Middle Classes identifies the middle class as the lens through which anthropology contributes to the study of contemporary globalization. From Egypt to Hungary, India to Indonesia, Kathmandu to Kunming, the New York suburbs and Mexican border to the Caribbean islands, the authors present compelling portraits of how middle class practices and aspirations are contingently connected to global capitalism.”—Aihwa Ong, coeditor of Worlding Cities: Asian Experiments in the Art of Being Global

“This outstanding collection casts light on the cultural worlds of the global middle classes, showing that they are connected by webs of consumption, aspiration, and communication but are also distinct in their styles, priorities, and anxieties. These essays are ethnographic jewels covering India, Mexico, China, and several other sites, but are also beautifully linked to a wide body of social theory and historical comparison. This book is a feast for anthropologists, sociologists, and historians concerned with globalization and with class as emergent phenomena of the world we live in.”—Arjun Appadurai, Goddard Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication, NYU

PHARMACEUTICAL SELFThe Global Shaping of Experience in an Age of Psychopharmacology

Edited by Janis H. Jenkins

This book addresses a critical contemporary issue—the worldwide proliferation of pharmaceutical use.

The contributors explore questions such as: How are culturally constituted selves transformed by regular ingestion of pharmaceutical drugs? Does “being human” increasingly come to mean not only oriented to drugs but also created and regulated by them? From the standpoint of cultural phenomenology, does this reshape human “being”? An anthropological study that examines both human suffering and its biological realities, Pharmaceutical Self focuses on the social, cultural, and political aspects of the expanding distribution of psychopharmacological drugs.

Contributors: João Biehl, Stefan Ecks, Byron J. Good, Mary-Jo DelVecchio Good, Janis H. Jenkins, Tanya Luhrmann, Emily Martin, Jonathan M. Metzl, A. Jamie Saris

“Pharmaceutical Self plumbs the biosocial complexity inherent in the globalization of psychoactive drugs. The authors, ranking figures in medical anthropology, explore the collision of structural violence—poverty, gender inequality, discrimination, and disasters both natural and unnatural—and neuropsychiatry, and how social forces become embodied in adverse health outcomes and new subjectivities in psychiatric patients’ local worlds. The thematic, theoretical, and geographic breadth of this volume—with experience-near accounts from settings as different as under-resourced clinics in Indonesia to homeless shelters in Chicago—provides valuable contributions to the burgeoning anthropology of psychopharmacology. Essential reading for any student of global mental health and for students of public health more generally.”—Paul Farmer, Chair, Department of Global Health and Social Medicine, Harvard Medical School


SMALL WORLDS Method, Meaning, and Narrative in Microhistory

Edited by James F. Brooks, Christopher R. N. DeCorse, and John Walton

Growing dissatisfaction with global perspectives and meta-narratives has led to renewed interest in the

research genre known as microhistory. As it gained currency, microhistory came to refer to a particular style of work characterized by disenchantment with grand theories of modernization. Its advocates called for a return to narrative, detailed analysis on a small scale, and the search for unforeseen meanings embedded in research cases. The essential feature of this perspective is a search for meaning in the microcosm, the large lessons discovered in small worlds. The contributors to this volume urge that potential commonalities of archaeology and history, of sociology and anthropology, be recognized; and they urge that historical interpretation move freely across disciplines. Historical study should be held up to the present and individual lives be understood as the intersection of biography and history. The authors develop these themes in a kaleidoscope of places and periods—West Africa, the Yucatán, Medieval Italy, Argentina, California, Brazil, Virginia, Spain, and Boston—small worlds that are the worlds we experience, study, and sequentially fit together in bigger pictures.

Contributors: Mary C. Beaudry, Kathleen Blee, James F. Brooks, Christopher R. N. DeCorse, Paul K. Eiss, Rebecca Jean Emigh, Linda Gordon, Michael Harkin, Kent G. Lightfoot, Richard Maddox, Dale Tomich, John Walton

“Small Worlds should prove to be a most valuable volume for students and scholars…particularly those who now question broad generalizations.… [The book] will not only provide fresh guidelines to new levels of understanding but also foster a comparative approach to experience in small worlds all over the globe.”—Howard R.

ABORIGINAL BUSINESS Alliances in a Remote Australian Town

Kimberly Christen

From the vantage point of the remote Northern Territory town of Tennant Creek in Australia, this book

examines the practical partnerships and awkward alliances that constitute indigenous modernities. It is an ethnographic snapshot of the Warumungu people as they engage with a range of interlocutors, including transnational railroad companies, national mining groups, international tourists, and regional businesses. Although the Warumungu are the traditional owners of the country in and around present day Tennant Creek, the history of white settlement and Aboriginal displacement has made this town, for better and worse, a site for the ongoing process of interdependent community-making. Anthropologist Kimberly Christen examines both the colonial past and the contemporary practices of alliance-making that set the stage for an alternative future, rerouting the national and global narratives that confine indigenous people to the margins. Warumungu “mobs”—variously connected and shifting sets of kin—actively seek to carve out a space within a nation that both condemns and celebrates them.

“This is not simply ethnography for its own sake, but a sustained deployment of ethnography in response to the vexed circulation of representations (scholarly, popular, narrowly political, and so on) with which indigenous minorities everywhere must engage. Christen’s strong approach to the current realities is a breath of fresh air and highly original.”—Fred Myers, New York University

“Aboriginal Business offers welcome and timely insights into both historical issues and contemporary social concerns.... Kim Christen offers an analysis that is at once timely and timeless.” —Will Owen, Aboriginal Art & Culture: an American eye

BECOMING INDIANThe Struggle over Cherokee Identity in the Twenty-first Century

Circe Sturm

In Becoming Indian, author Circe Sturm examines Cherokee identity politics and the phenomenon of racial shifting. Racial shifters, as

described by Sturm, are people who have changed their racial self-identification from non-Indian to Indian on the US Census. Many racial shifters are people who, while looking for their roots, have recently discovered their Native American ancestry. Others have family stories of an Indian great-great-grandmother or -grandfather they have not been able to document. Still others have long known they were of Native American descent, including their tribal affiliation, but only recently have become interested in reclaiming this aspect of their family history. Despite their differences, racial shifters share a conviction that they have Indian blood when asserting claims of indigeneity.

“Becoming Indian is an utterly absorbing study of Cherokee associational life in the age of multicultural America. With her engaging style and crystal clear understanding of complex race and social relations, Circe Sturm unveils the intricate motivations of individuals and groups with newly claimed Cherokee identities, as well as the reactions to their claims by members of the three federally recognized Cherokee nations. Sturm develops a novel vocabulary and fresh conceptualizations to describe these ‘racial shifters’ and ‘citizen Cherokees,’ revealing that while often at odds, they do share common epistemological ground.”—Tiya A.

Erin Debenport

In Fixing the Books, Erin Debenport presents the research she conducted on an indigenous language literacy effort within a New Mexico Pueblo community, and the potential of that literacy to compromise Pueblo secrecy. She analyzes the decision to produce written materials in a historically oral language and whether that decision is at odds with the linguistically and culturally “conservative” reputation of Southwest tribes, and potentially disrupts the control of both the intra- and intercommunity circulation of cultural knowledge. Debenport concentrates on the role of literacy in the formation of groups and the ways such groups have been connected to political participation, using the case study of San Ramón Pueblo (she uses pseudonyms throughout) as a counterexample to some of the prototypical cases of textual circulation. Looking closely at the texts themselves, she asks how the choices that authors make when crafting indigenous language texts index the larger goals and visions of a community and describes both the formal properties of various types of text, including dictionary example sentences, personal narratives, and pedagogical language dialogues, and the ways these pieces are linked with other written and oral texts. Debenport concludes that the apparent contradiction surrounding this Pueblo’s literacy effort is actually a reflection of the often unexpected uses of texts that occur in contexts of revitalization and emergent literacy and the multiple language ideologies being utilized by community members.

FOR INDIGENOUS MINDS ONLYA Decolonization Handbook

Edited by Waziyatawin and Michael Yellow Bird

For Indigenous Minds Only features indigenous scholars, writers, and activists who

collaborated on this sequel to For Indigenous Eyes Only (SAR Press, 2005). The title reflects an understanding that decolonizing actions must begin in the mind, and that creative, consistent decolonized thinking shapes and empowers the brain, which in turn provides a major prime for positive change. Included in this book are discussions of global collapse, what to consider in returning to a land-based existence, demilitarization for imperial purposes and re-militarization for indigenous purposes, survival strategies for tribal prisoners, moving beyond the nation-state model, a land-based educational model, personal decolonization, decolonization strategies for youth in custody, and decolonizing gender roles. As with For Indigenous Eyes Only, the authors do not intend to provide universal solutions for problems stemming from centuries of colonialism. Rather, they hope to facilitate and encourage critical thinking skills while offering recommendations for fostering community discussions and plans for purposeful community action. For Indigenous Minds Only will serve an important need within Indigenous communities for years to come. Contributors: George Blue Bird (Lakota), Gregory A.

NEW!INDIAN SUBJECTSHemispheric Perspectives on the History of Indigenous Education

Edited by Brenda J. Child and Brian Klopotek

Indian Subjects brings together an outstanding group of scholars from the fields of anthropology, history, law, education, literature, and Native studies to address indigenous education throughout different regions and eras. While histories of the devastating impact of boarding schools—and Native responses to those schools—have dominated academic and community views of indigenous educational history (and some appear in this volume, as well), the valuable lessons from these boarding school histories in the United States and Canada nonetheless provide a fairly narrow view of

indigenous educational experiences. Indian Subjects pushes beyond that history toward hemispheric and even global conversations, fostering a critically neglected scholarly dialogue that has too often been limited by regional and national boundaries. Many of the contributors to Indian Subjects tackle educational experiences of their own communities, and all of them provide insightful analysis of events and structures that need to be incorporated more fully into the history of indigenous peoples and education.

Contributors: William J. Bauer Jr., John Borrows, M. Bianet Castellanos, Brenda J. Child, María Elena García, Noelani Goodyear-Ka‘o pua, Laura R. Graham, Roy M. Huhndorf, Shari M. Huhndorf, Brian Klopotek, K. Tsianina Lomawaima, Alyssa Mt. Pleasant, Flor Ángela Palmar Barroso

“Part of the appeal of this book is the wide range of topics covered and the voices of so many scholars from various parts of the world. Nothing like this exists within the literature of indigenous education. It is a bold and nuanced approach to the field and is sure to receive high praise from scholars and students alike.” —Matthew Sakiestewa Gilbert, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

MAYA NATIONALISMS AND POSTCOLONIAL CHALLENGES IN GUATEMALA Coloniality, Modernity, and Identity Politics

Emilio del Valle Escalante

This book focuses on the emergence and political-cultural implications of Guatemala’s Maya movement. It explores how, since the 1970s, indigenous peoples have been challenging established, hegemonic narratives of modernity, history, nation, and cultural identity as these concepts relate to the indigenous world. For the most part, these narratives have been fabricated by nonindigenous writers who have had the power not only to produce and spread knowledge but also to speak for and about the Maya world. Contemporary Maya narratives promote nationalisms based on the reaffirmation of Maya ethnicity and languages that constitute what it means to be Maya in present-day society, as well as political-cultural projects oriented toward the future.“[Emilio del Valle Escalante] brings a cosmopolitan set of readings to bear on the subject of Guatemalan literature and offers incisive critical readings of specific texts—literary, testimonial, journalistic, and even state policy documents—while embedding them in their historical contexts, and in the streams of subaltern and ‘decolonial’ thinking from throughout the hemisphere.”—Diane Nelson, Duke University

“[This book] will become a foundational text on indigenous matters throughout the hemisphere.”—Arturo Arias, University of Texas

“Del Valle Escalante’s attention to the ways both Maya and their critics used writing to advance their agendas makes a valuable contribution to the rich literature on Guatemala’s experience with modernization, capitalism, and neoliberalism. Scholars of the Maya and Guatemala will find much of interest in this book.”—David Carey Jr., Ethnohistory

NO DEAL!Indigenous Arts and the Politics of Possession

Edited by Tressa Berman

No Deal! brings together a diverse group of artists, curators, art historians, and anthropologists from Australia and North America in order

to carefully investigate the social relations of possession through the artifacts and motifs of indigenous expressive culture. The contributors speak from the standpoints of indigenous systems of knowledge as well as from western epistemologies and address the issue of what it means to “own culture.” What do notions of “ownership” and “possession” mean when viewed through the lens of art and its associated rights to production, circulation, performance, and representation?Contributors: Tressa Berman, Jennifer Biddle, Marie Bouchard, Marco Centin, Suzanne Newman Fricke, Kathy M’Closkey,Lea S. McChesney, Eric Michaels, Nancy Marie Mithlo, Fred Myers, Nancy J. Parezo

“A hugely useful resource for anyone interested in Indigenous art, culture, and questions of cultural appropriation and ownership, with some of the leaders in their fields providing valuable and thought-provoking cross-disciplinary perspectives.”—Terri Janke, Terri Janke and Company Pty Ltd, Intellectual Property Lawyers, Australia

“Over the last fifty years, Indigenous art movements in Australia, New Zealand, North America, and elsewhere have been vital and potent in unexpected ways. Fresh, up-to-date, engaging, and engaged, No Deal! provides the best guide I have read to the politics of native art.”—Nicholas Thomas, Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Cambridge

“Tressa Berman has brought together new voices to make sense of the often complicated art world that has historically marginalized non-Western voices. Though Indigenous peoples in North America and Australia continue to live under the colonial weight of the West, there is a growing discourse that articulates these weighty circumstances that Berman and the contributors to this volume take charge in formulating and offer new strategies for engaging.”—Gerald McMaster, Independent Scholar, USA and Adjunct Curator, Art Gallery of Ontario

ONE STATE, MANY NATIONS Indigenous Rights Struggles in Ecuador

Maximilian Viatori

The Zápara are one of the smallest indigenous nationalities in Ecuador, with roughly two hundred members, most of whom live along the

Conambo and Pindoyacu rivers in Pastaza province.The Zápara language is a member of the Zaparoan language family, a small group of Amazonian languages in eastern Ecuador and northern Peru. In 1998 four communities organized as the Nacionalidad Zápara de Ecuador with the intent of reasserting Zápara identity and establishing a legal Zápara territory distinct from those of other indigenous nationalities in the region. At the heart of this revitalization was an attempt to document the language of the remaining Zápara elders as “proof” of these communities’ cultural uniqueness. One State, Many Nations traces the Zápara nationality’s process of self-organization and emergence within Ecuador’s indigenous movement from 1998 to 2008 to explore the complex role that multiculturalism has played in local indigenous politics. The paradoxical treatment of indigenous identity is the subject of this book. Its purpose is to explore the official recognition of ethnic and cultural difference in Ecuador with the followingquestion in mind: has the official recognition of indigenous rights provided new opportunities for indigenous actors or further restricted their political action?“[One State, Many Nations] looks at a series of reforms, both internal to Ecuador and coming from international institutions, that have changed the playing field for indigenous groups. [These] reforms have opened up important spaces/opportunities for indigenous groups but also embody all sorts of contradictions that actually restrict indigenous political action, create divisions within indigenous groups, and create a dependent relationship between indigenous groups and outside actors.”—Steve Striffler, University of New Orleans

NEW!OTROS SABERESCollaborative Research on Indigenous and Afro-Descendent Cultural Politics

Edited by Lynn Stephen and Charles R. Hale

The six research projects that form the core of the Otros Saberes initiative bring together a diverse group of Afro-descendant and indigenous collaborations with academics. The focus of each research project is driven by a strategic priority in the life of the community, organization, or social movement concerned. This trilingual book provides an explanation of the key analytical questions and findings of each project.

This book is available in PDF format on the SAR Press website (www.sarpress.org) and the Latin American Studies Association website (lasa.international.pitt.edu/eng/).

“Otros Saberes is an avant-garde report from the frontlines of knowledge. By foregrounding the knowledge produced by some of the most innovative indigenous and Afro-descendant movements in Latin America at present, this volume demonstrates that activists and grassroots intellectuals are often more attuned today than academics to the kinds of questions that need to be urgently asked in the face of unprecedented ecological and social crisis. Not only that, the volume provides vivid first-hand accounts of the promises and tensions of collaborative methodologies bridging academic and activist worlds, furthering our grasp of the elusive goal of genuine collaboration. LASA and the project visionaries have accomplished an incredible theoretico-political feat in the best tradition of engaged scholarship.” —Arturo Escobar, author of Territories of Difference: Place, Movements, Life, Redes

“Otros Saberes is an intriguing collaborative volume written in English, Spanish, and Portuguese by academic and non-academic intellectuals. It goes well beyond normative definitions of knowledge; also beyond ‘thought’ it offers food for political epistemic action.” —Marisol de la Cadena, UC Davis

REASSEMBLING THE COLLECTION Ethnographic Museums and Indigenous Agency

Edited by Rodney Harrison, Sarah Byrne, and Anne Clarke

Reassembling the Collection presents innovative approaches to the study

of historical and contemporary engagements between museums and the various individuals and communities who were (and are) involved in their production and consumption. Reassembling the Collection considers the material networks and affective qualities of “things” alongside their representational role within the museum and explores the ways in which concepts of agency and indigeneity need to be reconfigured in light of the study of these concepts within the museum context. The contributors explore key themes including the idea of museums as “meshworks” and material and social as-semblages; how an “archaeological sensibility” might inform approaches to understanding past and present relationships between people, “things,” and institutions in relation to museums; and the “weight of things” and sense of “curatorial responsibility,” which arise from a reconsideration of the nature of museum objects. Contributors: Joshua A. Bell, Tony Bennett, Sarah Byrne, Anne Clarke, Rodney Harrison, Kelley Hays-Gilpin, Gwyneira Isaac, Chantal Knowles, Ramson Lomatewama, Evelyn Tetehu, Robin Torrence, Chris Wingfield

“A lucid, well-focused collection of essays that not only proposes a new engagement between anthropology and archaeology, but challenges weary methodologies in museology and tired museum practices. This stimulating volume proposes nothing less than a ‘Mobius museology’ in which established disciplinary, epistemological, and ethical dualisms are exchanged for an infinitely more nuanced, complex, and dialogical approach. This broad sensibility intermeshes academic, indigenous, and practical viewpoints in the best tradition of critical scholarship to imagine a new terrain on which the importance and significance of museum collections can be reassessed in a non-consensual and increasingly globalized and intercultural world.”—Anthony Alan Shelton, Professor of Anthropology and Director of the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver

REMAPPING BOLIVIAResources, Territory, and Indigeneity in a Plurinational State

Edited by Nicole Fabricant and Bret Gustafson

The 2005 election of Evo Morales to the presidency of Bolivia marked

a critical moment of transformation—a coca farmer and peasant union leader became the first indigenous president in the history of the Americas. Gathering work from a new generation of anthropologists and related scholars who have been doing fieldwork in the “post-Evo” era, Remapping Bolivia reflects shifting paradigms in Latin Americanist and indigenous-related research, which once focused heavily on the “Andean” ( lo andino), but now pursue understandings of the effects of human movement and articulation across geographic space and collective cultural and political mobilizations that are reimagining and reshaping the state through multiple forms of grassroots political struggle.

Contributors: Nicole Fabricant, Fernando Garcés V., Bret Gustafson, Charles R. Hale, Joshua Kirshner, Pablo Mamani Ramirez, Carlos Revilla,Ximena Soruco Sologuren

“Remapping Bolivia establishes a well-balanced articulation of the Andean region with the Amazonian and Chaco lowlands. In this sense, and among other important ways of interpreting the topics studied in this book, remapping Bolivia means rethinking lo andino from the lowlands. This is a novel and useful approach to Bolivian studies, and the book presents original ideas with up-to-date information.”—Javier Sanjines, University of Michigan

“Remapping Bolivia is a timely volume that addresses important issues in a Latin American country where social movements have been pioneering new conceptualizations of democracy, autonomy, and indigenous rights over the last decade.”—Lesley Gill, Vanderbilt University

ROOSTERS AT MIDNIGHT Indigenous Signs and Stigma in Local Bolivian Politics

Robert Albro

Set in the largely urban provincial capital of Quillacollo, Roosters at Midnight is an ethnographic

examination of the changing stories of what it means to be indigenous but also urban in contemporary Bolivia—and in Latin America—in the context of renewed local-level elections after a hiatus of almost forty years. An alternative to more conventional accounts of collective indigenous mobilization in Bolivia during this period, this book is concerned with the lives and careers of the kinds of provincial politicians who opened up local spaces for Bolivia’s present national indigenous project. It examines how problem-solving networks built up in the neoliberal era along the provincial and urban margins and as part of Bolivia’s “politics of the multitude” have made the still contested terms of indigenous belonging more variegated and inclusive. Roosters at Midnight links the present high profile of Bolivia’s national indigenous political project to often overlooked and ongoing, decades-long local political collaborations among people routinely categorized as nonindigenous but “of humble origins.”“Albro’s work provides us with a detailed look at the ways local politics work by following local politicians who must perform on a stage mediated by historical legacies, unspoken prejudices, and complicated gendered enactments. His work follows a long line of political anthropology and makes a timely contribution to the field by showing the intricate relations between political action and cultural notions of value and honor.”—Nancy Postero, University of California, San Diego

“In its finely wrought detail, its loving attention to the subtleties of daily interaction, its insightful analysis of the political uses of culture and heritage and genealogy, Roosters at Midnight is like no other ethnography of the Andes that I have read. It is a gem of a book.”—Daniel M. Goldstein, Rutgers University

THE WORK OF SOVEREIGNTY Tribal Labor Relations and Self-Determination at the Navajo Nation

David Kamper

Who is shaping the future of economic development in Indian

Country? Who has a say in tribal economic growth and who benefits? What role do American Indian workers play in shaping how tribal economies and enterprises work? What would it mean to conceive of indigenous self-determination from the vantage point of work and workers? The Work of Sovereignty addresses these vital questions. It explores the political, economic, and cultural forces that structure and influence indigenous economic development, giving special attention to the perspectives and priorities of the indigenous working people who build tribal futures with their everyday labor. Kamper argues for the importance of recognizing tribal labor relations as a factor in indigenous economic enterprises from gaming to health care and beyond. Although most research on tribal sovereignty and economic development focuses on legal theory and governmental operations, The Work of Sovereignty centers on the people who make sovereignty work. It presents a thoughtful, in-depth look at the ways labor relations play out in Indian Country, how tribal employees view their relationships with their bosses and tribal enterprises, and how this view connects to their enactment of indigenous self-determination.

“This is a pathbreaking book. In a compelling, nuanced tale, Kamper explores the complex interface between Native American politics and labor politics, between grassroots organizing and legal strategies, and between overlapping identities and oppressions. The Work of Sovereignty is a must-read for anyone in labor studies, Native American studies, and anyone interested in the real world of social justice organizing today.”—Dana Frank, University of California, Santa Cruz

RECENTLY PUBLISHEDANTHROPOLOGY OF RACE Genes, Biology, and Culture

Edited by John Hartigan

What do we know about race today? After years of debate and inquiry by anthropologists, the

question remains fraught with emotion and the answer is complicated and uncertain. Anthropology of Race confronts the challenge of formulating an effective rejoinder to new arguments and new data about race, and attempts to address the intense desire to understand race and why it matters.

Contributors: Ron Eglash, Clarence C. Gravlee, John Hartigan, Linda M. Hunt, Christopher W. Kuzawa, Jeffrey C. Long, Pamela L. Sankar, Sandra Soo-Jin Lee, Zaneta M. Thayer, Nicole Truesdell

“Anthropology of Race examines the often disregarded intersectionality of genes, biology, and culture in the formation of race. With bold and innovative analysis, the authors challenge us to consider and then reconsider its biosocial and biocultural foundations. This volume creatively adds to the field a complex and provocative interpretation of the anthropology of race.”—Lee D. Baker, Duke University

“Especially for those readers most committed to biological authority, these papers that begin by assuming the existence of cogent biological effects of race might provide a more compelling opportunity for destabliizing race than is the more dichotomous sociocultural critique of race as an impactful myth of racism.”—Michael L. Blakey, NEH Professor of Anthropology and Director of the Institute for Historical Biology, College of William and Mary

“A must-read for scientists and medical practitioners, this volume builds on the vitally important humanistic and social scientific work interrogating racial processes to deconstruct the popular categories that animate our understanding of human difference.”—Deborah A.

THE SHAPE OF SCRIPTHow and Why Writing Systems Change

Edited by Stephen D. Houston

This book builds on earlier projects about the origins and extinctions of script traditions throughout the world

in an effort to address the fundamental questions of how and why writing systems change. The contributors—who study ancient scripts from Arabic to Roman, from Bronze Age China to Middle Kingdom Egypt—utilize an approach that views writing less as a technology than as a mode of communication, one that is socially learned and culturally transmitted.

Contributors: John Baines, John Bodel, Stephen Chrisomalis, Beatrice Gruendler, Stephen D. Houston, David B. Lurie, John Monaghan, Richard Salomon, Kyle Steinke, Niek Veldhuis

“This collection of essays addresses a rarely treated but strategic set of questions. It shows that the study of the evolution of script systems constitutes the best way to understand how aesthetics and script use can shape each other in a cultural tradition, and more generally, how the visual appearance of signs can influence the social use of language. In a very wide range of case studies—from Maya and Mixtec to Latin, Egyptian, Arab, and Chinese—each contributor demonstrates that the ‘shape’ of script has its own levels of analysis from its minute constituents to its broader macro-settings. The Shape of Script is a great attempt to marry an amazing scholarship with an anthropologically-minded perspective on writing, seen as a culturally-shaped mode of communication and as one of the central cultural productions in human history. It certainly is a stunning achievement.”—Carlo Severi, Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris

“This very important book delineates what amounts to a new domain of scholarly inquiry.”—Andréas Stauder, Journal of Anthropological Research

ART IN OUR LIVES Native Women Artists in Dialogue

Edited by Cynthia Chavez Lamar and Sherry Farrell Racettewith Lara Evans

Art in Our Lives grew out of the conversations of a group of Native women artists who spoke frankly about the roles,

responsibilities, and commitments in their lives while balancing this existence with their art practice. Finding common ground, they started out as a small group of six that eventually grew to eleven who ranged in age from seventy to twenty-seven with backgrounds as diverse as their ages. Together they recognized their experiences, acknowledging that what they shared was not unique to them since other Native women artists could speak to similar life realities. How often such experiences were actually shared became the larger issue. The topics these women thoughtfully discussed resulted in this book at the initiation of the artists, some of whom also contributed essays. The artists participated in three seminars at SAR in 2007–2008 culminating in a one-day exhibition with an artist panel discussion at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture in Santa Fe. Diverse in media and content, their artworks are featured as plates in this volume along with the artist statements that accompanied the pieces in the exhibition. The chapters in this book reflect some of the seminars’ common threads such as home/place, transgression/boundaries, art as healing/art as struggle, pain/joy, art practice/work, and survival/colonization.

IMPRISONED ART, COMPLEX PATRONAGEPlains Drawings by Howling Wolf and Zotom at the Autry National Center

Joyce SzaboForeword by Steven M. Karr

Two small books of vivid drawings—one filled with images by the Southern Cheyenne warrior-artist Howling Wolf and the other with images by Zotom, a Kiowa man—came to the Southwest Museum of the American Indian, now part of the Autry National Center, in December 1986. Gifts from Leonora Curtin Paloheimo, the books had been commissioned directly from the artists in 1877 by Paloheimo’s grandmother, Eva Scott Muse Fényes (1849–1930). At the time Fényes commissioned the books, Zotom and Howling Wolf were imprisoned at Fort Marion in Saint Augustine, Florida. Like some of the other Southern Plains Indian prisoners held there between mid-1875 and mid-1878, the two men created many drawings for diverse reasons. Some of the prisoners’ books of drawings, including the two that Fényes collected, were sold to people who visited the sixteenth-century Spanish fort. The study of what has become known as Plains Indian ledger art—because of the artists’ frequent use of accountants’ ledger books as sources of paper—and of Fort Marion drawings in particular has burgeoned in the last forty years. Joyce Szabo’s examination of the two drawing books by Zotom and Howling Wolf takes into account their origins and the issues surrounding their commission as well as what the images say about their creators and their collector. Szabo augments the complete reproduction of each page with detail photographs of the drawings.

IN THE PLACES OF THE SPIRITSDavid Grant NobleForeword by N. Scott Momaday

This book represents the culmination of David Grant Noble’s forty-year career as a fine arts photographer and

writer. It features seventy-six photographs of the land, people, and deep past of the Southwest, most published here for the first time. Accompanying these beautiful images are personal reflections interwoven with historical and anthropological information. The moving passages reveal much about the man and the magnificent land that inspires his artistry. These photographs and words portray the land’s soul, the artist’s vision. Through them, the ancient landscapes and peoples of the Southwest tell their tales, display their beauty, remind us that we are only the most recent of many who have lived and been inspired here.

“This book is about humanity, timelessness, and place in the American Southwest. Amidst an alternating beat of facts, personal narrative, and photographs of landscapes imprinted with ancient images and ancestral homes, the reader/viewer is engaged in a singular odyssey through centuries and sacred space where the boundaries of time are erased. As David Noble explores the unpredictable and uncertain bridges between past and present, he weaves all of us into a continuous—if not seamless—fabric of being in a moment in time.”—Polly Schaafsma, author of Indian Rock Art of the Southwest

“Explorer, writer, and photographer extraordinaire David Grant Noble leads us on an archaeological odyssey through the Southwestern landscape. The spirituality of the places and the Native American inhabitants, both contemporary and ancient, are splendidly captured by Noble’s elegant prose and vivid photographs. In the Places of the Spirits is a very personal chronicle by one of the Southwest’s most sensitive and insightful observers.”—Mark Michel, The Archaeological Conservancy

Edited, annotated, and introduced by Marit K. Munson

Arriving in New Mexico in 1899, Kenneth Milton Chapman took on all manner of projects: mapping archaeological ruins, judging Pueblo pottery, teaching art, and studying ancient and modern Indian design. He became an “art archaeologist,” a self-made expert riding the line between disciplines. When he moved to Santa Fe in 1909, he found himself in the midst of the city’s identity crisis. Eventually, he played a part in virtually all of the central institutions and critical events that shaped Santa Fe, but he has remained in the shadows. Munson presents a carefully edited and annotated edition of Chapman’s memoirs. Written in the late 1950s and early 1960s, Chapman’s side of the story is an insider’s take on the personalities and events that shaped Santa Fe.

“Munson...has given us an intimate portrait of life in Santa Fe during these turbulent years. For scholars these primary documents allow greater study of an important figure and the beginnings of these influential institutions. For non-scholars, the book offers a fascinating vision of life in New Mexico during this important time. For all readers, Kenneth Chapman’s Santa Fe offers a personal account of life in everyone’s favorite City Different.”—Suzanne Newman Fricke, New Mexico Historical Review

“Munson highlights Santa Fe on the eve of Chapman’s arrival and its subsequent transformation...Chapter 9, ‘Between Art and Archaeology,’ is the pearl in Munson’s book.”—Laurie Milne, Canadian Journal of Archaeology

BEST SELLER!SANTA FEHistory of an Ancient City,Revised and Expanded Edition

Edited by David Grant Noble

In 2010, Santa Fe officially turned 400; four centuries of

a rich and contentious history of Indian, Spanish, and American interactions. Pueblo Indians settled along the banks of the Rio Santa Fe as long ago as the sixth century CE. By 1610, Spanish colonists had established the town as a distant outpost in Spain’s expanding empire. Drawing on recent archaeological discoveries and historical research, this updated edition of a classic history details the town’s founding, its survival through revolt and reconquest, its turbulent politics, its lively trade with Mexico and the United States, and the lives of its most important citizens, from the governors Peralta, Vargas, and Armijo to the madam Doña Tules. The origins and transformations of the very building blocks of Santa Fe, from the iconic Palace of the Governors to the city’s acequia (irrigation) system, are revealed in these pages.

THE SANTA FE FIESTA, REINVENTED Staking Ethno-Nationalist Claims to a Disappearing Homeland

Sarah Bronwen Horton

The Santa Fe Fiesta, Reinvented adds a new perspective on the

controversial identity formation of New Mexico’s Hispanos. Through close readings of canonical texts by New Mexican historian Fray Angélico Chávez about La Conquistadora, a fifteenth-century Marian icon to whom legend credits Don Diego De Vargas’s “peaceful” resettlement, and through careful attention to the symbolic action of the event, this book explores the tropes of gender, time, genealogy, and sexuality through which this form of cultural nationalism is imagined. Interviews and archival research reveal that even as Hispanos were increasingly minoritized in the former homeland site of Santa Fe, Hispano elites progressively invented and recreated the four cultural organizations that organize the Fiesta to lay claim to this disappearing homeland. With narratives of Fiesta organizers and colorful vignettes of life in contemporary Santa Fe, this book documents Hispanos’ veiled protest of Anglo imperialism and the transformation of this city into what has been called an “Adobe Disneyland.”“This study offers fresh insight into the icons, roles, performances and players that make up the Santa Fe Fiesta. Horton shows how this popular festival has become a symbolic assertion of cultural nationalism in response to the social and economic forces that are driving Hispanos from the gentrified core of the city. The Santa Fe Fiesta, Reinvented is an important contribution to the literature on New Mexico and community festivals that will interest students, scholars, and residents of the region.”—Sylvia Rodríguez, professor emerita, University of New Mexico

“Traditional Apache Life”

Southwest Crossroads Spotlight

The Athapaskan peoples migrated south from Alaska and Canada and eventually split into seven distinct groups. By 1500, they occupied a vast expanse of territory in the American Southwest. The extreme environments they inhabited—mountains, deserts, and plains—hardened them into fierce and adaptable nomads.

“Settlement and Homesteading in East-Central New Mexico”

Southwest Crossroads Spotlight; William Penner

New Mexico’s population grew during the nineteenth century. Hispano families began to settle beyond the Rio Grande Valley and establish new villages. Some communities obtained land grants from the Spanish or Mexican governments; others settled without clear title to their homes.

“Zuni Pottery Designs”

Ruth Bunzel, The Pueblo Potter

Sedentary people of the Southwest have been making pottery for at least two thousand years. Archaeologists have found more than two hundred sites where people used to live in the Zuni Valley; each ruin holds broken pieces of pottery, or potsherds, that tell a story.
