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.

“This will be obligatory reading not only for all who seek to push
forward research on particular cases of urban development, but
also for those who seek to build new theoretical constructs.”

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.

BIG HISTORIES,
HUMAN LIVES
BREATHING NEW
LIFE INTO THE
EVIDENCE OF
DEATH
Tackling 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.”

Contemporary 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.”

THE EVOLUTION
OF LEADERSHIP
MEMORY WORK
Transitions in Decision Making from
Small-Scale to Middle-Range Societies
Edited by Barbara J. Mills and
William H. Walker
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

Archaeologies of Material Practices
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.”

POSTCOLONIAL
ARCHAEOLOGIES
IN AFRICA
ROOTS OF
CONFLICT
Soils, Agriculture, and Sociopolitical
Complexity in Ancient Hawai‘i
Edited 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.

“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.”

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.

“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.”

Foreword 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.

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.

THE CHACO
EXPERIENCE
AN ARCHAEOLOGY
OF DOINGS
Landscape and Ideology at the
Center Place
Secularism 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 nonWestern 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.”

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 everchanging 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.”

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.

“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.”

THE GREAT BASIN
People and Place in Ancient Times
Edited by Catherine S. Fowler and
Don D. Fowler
This 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.

“Catherine and Don Fowlers’ edited volume offers nineteen 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. While focusing on
archaeology, many of the authors use ethnology to flesh out their
interpretations of the uses and meanings of Great Basin artifacts
and landscapes. The book contains gorgeous color photos and
excellent maps and illustrations.”

Ancient Peoples in a Land
Without Water
A HISTORY OF
THE ANCIENT
SOUTHWEST
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-meetsHohokam 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. Insightful
chapters by Native scholars remind us that the story continues
today at the pueblos of the Hopi Tribe.”

Stephen 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.”

LIVING THE
ANCIENT
SOUTHWEST
Edited 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.

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.

“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.”

MEDIEVAL
MISSISSIPPIANS
Edited by Margaret C. Nelson
and Michelle Hegmon
The Cahokian World
Edited by Timothy R. Pauketat and
Susan M. Alt
The eighth volume in the awardwinning 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.

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, 1694–1875
David 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.

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 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.”

A PUEBLO SOCIAL HISTORY
Kinship, Sodality, and Community in the Northern Southwest
John A. Ware
Foreword 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.’”

CASH ON THE TABLE
Markets, 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

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.

“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.”

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.

“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.”

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.”

DEVELOPMENT
& DISPOSSESSION
The Crisis of Forced Displacement
and Resettlement
Edited by Anthony Oliver-Smith
Capital-intensive, high-technology,
large-scale projects compel the
displacement and resettlement of an
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.

OF OUR PASTS
Humanitarianism Between
Ethics and Politics
Ethical Implications
of Collecting Antiquities
in the Twenty-first Century
Edited by Erica Bornstein
and Peter Redfield
Edited by Michael A. Adler and
Susan Benton Bruning
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.
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.

“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
“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.”

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.

“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.”

KEYSTONE
NATIONS
Indigenous 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.

(MIS)MANAGING MIGRATION
Guestworkers’ 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.

Christine Hughes, B. Lindsay Lowell, Philip Martin, Juvencio Rocha Peralta, Kerry Preibisch, Josephine Smart, Pablo Valdes Villareal
“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.”

NATURE, SCIENCE,
AND RELIGION
NEW LANDSCAPES
OF INEQUALITY
Intersections Shaping Society
and the Environment
Neoliberalism and the Erosion of
Democracy in America
Edited by Catherine M. Tucker
Edited by Jane L. Collins,
Micaela di Leonardo,
and Brett Williams
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
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.

“This timely, gloomy, informative, and illuminating volume brings
together an interdisciplinary set of voices to reveal what happens
when ‘markets rule,’ the state retreats from its legal (and moral)
duties, and ‘punitive governance’ becomes the norm.”

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.”

IMAGES THAT MOVE
Edited 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.
Contributors: Ernst van Alphen, Christiane Brosius, Steven C. Caton, Finbarr Barry Flood, Brian Larkin, Oliver Moore, Rosalind C. Morris,
Christopher Pinney, Patricia Spyer, Mary Margaret Steedly
“Images That Move is a wonderful volume, full of surprises and illuminations. This represents the most current thinking about the anxieties,
entanglements, and mobilizations in work on the circulation of culture as manifest in the complexities of the image.”
—Fred R. Myers, New York University
“This book will be most welcome for a field that is urgently in need of ways to conceptualize the crucial work of images in the formation
of subjects, publics, and social imaginaries today. The essays are richly interdisciplinary, theoretically sophisticated, and varied in terms of
geographical location, type of image, and theoretical approach.”
—Karen Strassler, Queens College of the City University of New York
“Images That Move brings together some of the most prominent and interesting thinkers in visual culture studies and the anthropology of
media and images. The contributors’ essays, without exception, offer extremely original materials and perspectives on images and are
grounded in first-rate scholarship.”

INDIAN POLICIES IN THE AMERICAS
from 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.

KATHERINE DUNHAM
Recovering 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.

OUR LIVES
Collaboration, 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.”

2014 SOCIETY FOR THE ANTHROPOLOGY OF WORK BOOK PRIZE, WINNER
STREET ECONOMIES
IN THE URBAN GLOBAL SOUTH
Edited 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.”

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.
Contributors: Laura Bear, Barbara Bodenhorn, Fenella Cannell, Janet Carsten, Gillian Feeley-Harnik, Michael Lambek, Susan McKinnon,
Danilyn Rutherford, Elana Shever, Sylvia J. Yanagisako
“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.”

BIOINSECURITY
AND
VULNERABILITY
Edited by Nancy N. Chen and
Lesley A. Sharp
Life today is filled with rapidfire “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.
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.

Deborah Durham, Paula S. Fass, Constance A. Flanagan, Tobias Hecht,

“Any scholar dealing with contemporary childhood will certainly
profit from consulting the book.”

GLOBAL HEALTH
IN TIMES OF
VIOLENCE
THE GLOBAL
MIDDLE CLASSES
Edited by Barbara Rylko-Bauer,
Linda Whiteford, and Paul Farmer
Edited by Rachel Heiman,
Carla Freeman, and Mark Liechty
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 evergrowing literature on violence studies.”

Theorizing Through Ethnography
Surging middle-class aspirations and
anxieties throughout the world have
recently compelled anthropologists
to pay serious attention to middle classes and middleclass 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.”

PHARMACEUTICAL
SELF
The 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.”

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.

“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.”

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.”

BECOMING INDIAN
The 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.”

FIXING THE BOOKS
FOR INDIGENOUS
MINDS ONLY
A Decolonization Handbook
Edited by Waziyatawin and
Michael Yellow Bird
Secrecy, Literacy, and Perfectibility
in Indigenous New Mexico
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 intraand 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 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.

INDIAN SUBJECTS
Hemispheric 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.

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.”

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.”

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,

“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.”

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 following
question 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.”

OTROS SABERES
Collaborative 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.”

Edited by Nicole Fabricant and
Bret Gustafson
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 assemblages; 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.

“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.”

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.

“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-todate 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.”

ROOSTERS
AT MIDNIGHT
THE WORK
OF SOVEREIGNTY
Indigenous Signs and Stigma
in Local Bolivian Politics
Tribal Labor Relations
and Self-Determination
at the Navajo Nation
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.”

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.”

How and Why Writing Systems

Edited by Stephen D. Houston
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.

“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.”

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 anthropologicallyminded 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.”

ART IN OUR LIVES
Native Women Artists in Dialogue
Edited by Cynthia Chavez Lamar
and Sherry Farrell Racette
with 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.

Plains Drawings by Howling Wolf
and Zotom at the Autry National
Center
Joyce Szabo
Foreword 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 SPIRITS
David Grant Noble
Foreword 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.”

KENNETH
CHAPMAN’S
SANTA FE
Artists and Archaeologists, 1907–1931
The Memoirs of Kenneth Chapman
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.”

History of an Ancient City,
Revised and Expanded
Edition
Staking Ethno-Nationalist Claims
to a Disappearing Homeland
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.

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.”

“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.

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.
