Tribes of California
ISBN: 9780520031722 / Angielski / Miękka / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This classic of American Indian ethnography, originally published in 1877, is again available in its complete form. In the summers of 1871 and 1872 Powers visited Indian groups in the northern two-thirds of California. A journalist by profession, he was untrained in ethnography, but was nonetheless an astonishingly intelligent observer who had a gift for writing in a spirited manner. He reported faithfully what he heard and portrayed accurately what he saw among the native survivors of Gold Rush days in a series of seventeen articles published mostly in The Overland Monthly. These were partly...

Braid of Feathers: American Indian Law and Contemporary Tribal Life
ISBN: 9780520208940 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this ambitious and moving book, Frank Pommersheim, who lived and worked on the Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation for ten years, challenges the dominant legal history of American Indians and their tribes--a history that concedes far too much power to the laws and courts of the "conqueror." Writing from the perspective of the reservation and contemporary Indian life, Pommersheim makes an urgent call for the advancement of tribal sovereignty and of tribal court systems that are based on Indian culture and values. Taking as its starting point the cultural, spiritual, and physical nature of...

American Indian Treaties: The History of a Political Anomaly
ISBN: 9780520208957 / Angielski / Miękka / 562 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. American Indian affairs are much in the public mind today--hotly contested debates over such issues as Indian fishing rights, land claims, and reservation gambling hold our attention. While the unique legal status of American Indians rests on the historical treaty relationship between Indian tribes and the federal government, until now there has been no comprehensive history of these treaties and their role in American life.
Francis Paul Prucha, a leading authority on the history of American Indian affairs, argues that the treaties were a political anomaly from the very beginning. The...

In the Puget Sound region of Washington state, indigenous peoples and their descendants have a long history of interaction with settlers and their descendants. Indians in the Making offers the first comprehensive account of these interactions, from contact with traders of the 1820s to the Indian fishing rights activism of the 1970s.

During the period under consideration, each major... In the Puget Sound region of Washington state, indigenous peoples and their descendants have a long history of interaction with settlers and their des...

Indians, Missionaries, and Merchants: The Legacy of Colonial Encounters on the California Frontiers
ISBN: 9780520249981 / Angielski / Miękka / 355 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. California's earliest European colonists--Russian merchants and Spanish missionaries--depended heavily on Native Americans for labor to build and maintain their colonies, but they did so in very different ways. This richly detailed book brings together disparate skeins of the past--including little-known oral histories, native texts, ethnohistory, and archaeological excavations--to present a vivid new view of how native cultures fared under these two colonial systems. Kent Lightfoot's innovative work, which incorporates the holistic methods of historical anthropology, explores the surprising...

ISBN: 9780521003605 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Aristocratic Encounters relates how an aristocratic discourse on American Indians took shape in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Titled and educated French and German visitors to North America, with the background of the French Revolution in mind, developed a new belief in their affinity with the warrior elites of Indian societies, whom they viewed as fellow aristocrats. The book includes chapters on major figures, such as Chateaubriand and Tocqueville, and on lesser, often instructive, travelers. The book contributes to a burgeoning transatlantic, even transnational, form...

The Fall of Natural Man: The American Indian and the Origins of Comparative Ethnology
ISBN: 9780521337045 / Angielski / Miękka / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book gives a new interpretation of the reception of the new world by the old. It is the first in-depth study of the pre-Enlightenment methods by which Europeans attempted to describe and classify the American Indian and his society. Between 1512 and 1724 a simple determinist view of human society was replaced by a more sophisticated relativist approach. Anthony Pagden uses new methods of technical analysis, already developed in philosophy and anthropology, to examine four groups of writers who analysed Indian culture: the sixteenth-century theologian, Francisco de Vitoria, and his...

A Population History of the Huron-Petun, A.D. 500-1650
ISBN: 9780521440301 / Angielski / Twarda / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A Population History of the Huron-Petun, A.D. 500-1650, reconstructs the population history of the Wendat-Tionontate (Huron-Petun) people using archaeological, paleodemographic, historical, and epidemiological research. This book argues that the Wendat-Tionontate occupied southern Ontario for thousands of years and that maize agriculture was gradually adopted by groups who were not experiencing population pressure, but who were simply interested in supplementing their hunting, gathering, and fishing diet with a reliable food that could also be stored to avert winter famine deaths. The book...

ISBN: 9780521442664 / Angielski / Twarda / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. History of the Inca Realm is a classic work of ethnohistorical research that has been both influential and provocative in the field of Andean prehistory. Maria Rostworowski uses a great variety of published and unpublished documents and secondary works by Latin American, North American, and European scholars to examine topics such as the mythical origins of the Incas, the expansion of the Inca state, the political role of women, the vast trading networks of the coastal merchants, and the causes of the disintegration of the Inca state in the face of a small force of Spaniards.

Crow Dog's Case: American Indian Sovereignty, Tribal Law, and United States Law in the Nineteenth Century
ISBN: 9780521467155 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Crow Dog's Case is the first social history of American Indians' role in the making of American law. The book sheds new light on Native American struggles for sovereignty and justice in nineteenth century America. This "century of dishonor," a time when American Indians' lands were lost and their tribes reduced to reservations, provoked a wide variety of tribal responses. Some of the more successful responses were in the area of law, forcing the newly independent American legal order to create a unique place for Indian tribes in American law.

Parading Through History: The Making of the Crow Nation in America 1805-1935
ISBN: 9780521485227 / Angielski / Miękka / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This history of the Crow Indians links their nineteenth-century nomadic life and their modern existence. The Crows not only withstood the dislocation and conquest visited on them after 1805, but acted in the midst of these events to construct a modern Indian community--a nation. Their efforts sustained the pride and strength reflected in Chief Plenty Coups' statement in 1925 that he did "not care at all what historians have to say about Crow Indians," as well as their community's faith in the beauty of its traditions and its inventions. Frederick E. Hoxie demonstrates that contact with...

ISBN: 9780521548717 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The right to vote is the foundation of democratic government; all other policies are derived from it. The history of voting rights in America has been characterized by a gradual expansion of the franchise. American Indians are an important part of that story but have faced a prolonged battle to gain the franchise. One of the most important tools wielded by advocates of minority voting rights has been the Voting Rights Act. This book explains the history and expansion of Indian voting rights, with an emphasis on seventy cases based on the Voting Rights Act and/or the Equal Protection Clause....
