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.

Edited by
Gary M. Feinman
and Joyce Marcus
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.

“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 neoevolutionist theory (of stages and levels), which created a kind of
theoretical anomie. This book is a call to restore grand narratives
of change, and the authors are determined to put human beings—
who were effectively ignored in systems theories, environmental
determinist theories, adaptationism, and functionalism—as central
actors in their own histories. Archaeologists: this way forward.”
—Norman Yoffee, Senior Fellow, Institute for the Study of
the Ancient World, New York University
“Through vivid and thought-provoking examples, the
volume’s various authors demonstrate how the archaeological,
anthropological, and historical examination of past human
societies has many lessons of direct and immediate relevance to
people in the modern world. It also recasts the focus of scholars
from these disciplines in turn, arguing that there are bigger
problems and better ways of examining them than the approaches
many have chosen.”
—David G. Anderson, University of Tennessee, author of
Climate Change and Cultural Dynamics: A Global
Perspective on Mid-Holocene Transitions
“This highly provocative book breaks new ground in examining the
articulation between the longue durée and short-term, small-scale
human experiences. A stellar group of scholars re-energize our
thinking about long-term history without losing sight of microscale
events and human lives. The authors experiment with multiple,
innovative theoretical approaches in a series of case studies
that will be of great interest to any scholar grappling with the
investigation of humans in deep time.”

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.

“This book is a robust contribution toward bringing
bioarchaeology firmly into the larger sphere of anthropological
approaches to the past. Although the case studies range far
and wide, the editors’ attention to disciplinary history and a
productive thematic organization result in a fresh collection
that should inspire both students and seasoned practitioners.
The authors, while grounding their work firmly in established
bioarchaeological method, also chart new—and essential—
theoretical terrain that represents the future of contextualized
work in the field.”
—Ann M. Kakaliouras, Whittier College
“Breathing New Life into the Evidence of Death is an important
contribution to bioarchaeology, mortuary archaeology, osteology,
and osteoarchaeology. By focusing explicitly on ‘bioarchaeology
as contextualized archaeology,’ the authors demonstrate several
important points by means of their individual case studies:
1. contextualized bioarchaeology requires integration of both
the contextual/historical and the biological/osteological, moving
considerably beyond two separate analyses; 2. contextualized
bioarchaeology can bring new insights to the study of the
individual and social embodiment, as well as materiality and
the social collective; and 3. there is real value and significance
in engaging and communicating with those who have a claim,
relation, or other legitimate interest in the mortuary site being
studied.”

Paper, ISBN 978-1-934691-13-7, $34.95
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.

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.

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.

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.”
—Jared Diamond, professor of geography at UCLA and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of
books including Guns, Germs, and Steel and Collapse
“When Thomas Malthus was twelve, Captain James Cook ‘discovered’ the Hawaiian islands, where in 900 years some 200 intrepid
Polynesian voyagers had grown to 450,000. This comprehensive new report by members of the Hawai‘i Biocomplexity Project leads us—
literally from the ground up—through soils and rainfall, via production systems, demography, and the rich genealogical traditions of the
islands, to an integrated assessment of the emergence of the Hawaiian archaic state. Kirch and his colleagues provide a model for how
researchers can study societies over the long term in their dynamic environments without reductionism, leaving us to marvel both at the
achievements of the Polynesians and the ingenious research that here elucidates their complexity and evolution.”

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 archaeological 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 site of a great Ancestral Pueblo center in the
eleventh and twelfth centuries AD, the ruins in
Chaco Canyon 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. They place Chaco in its time and in its
region, considering what came before and after its
heyday and its neighbors to the north and south,
including Mesoamerica.

Paper, ISBN 978-1-934691-56-4, $34.95
There is an unsettling paradox in the anthropology of religion.
Modern understandings of “religion” emerged out of a specifically
Western genealogy, and recognizing this, many anthropologists
have become deeply suspicious of claims that such understandings
can be applied with fidelity to premodern or non-Western contexts.
And yet, archaeologists now write about “religion” and “ritual” with
greater ease than ever, even though their deeply premodern and fully
non-Western objects of study would seem to make the use of these
concepts especially fraught.
In this probing study, Severin Fowles challenges us to consider just
what is at stake in archaeological reconstructions of an enchanted
past. Focusing on the Ancestral Pueblo societies of the American
Southwest, he provocatively argues that the Pueblos—prior to
missionization—did not have a religion at all, but rather something
else, something glossed in the indigenous vernacular as “doings.”
Fowles then outlines a new archaeology of doings that takes us far
beyond the familiar terrain of premodern religion.
“An Archaeology of Doings provides a landmark contribution to
the archaeology of religion and charts a course through which
archaeology might bring its unique insights to the modern world.”
—Scott Ortman, Omidyar Fellow, Santa Fe Institute
“This is a brilliant book that should be read by all anthropologists
interested in understanding religion. It is simultaneously a fascinating
history of Euro-Pueblo relations, a penetrating critique of our
ontological categories, and a compelling argument that we have never
really understood how non-Westerners understand the world.”
—John Robb, University of Cambridge
“An Archaeology of Doings offers a brilliant reinterpretation of the
Northern Tiwa archaeological record and a profound intervention
into current interdisciplinary debates around anthropological method,
the study of religion, and the problematics of secularism. Fowles
shows us how persistent tropes about nonmodern ‘religion’ reinforce
secularism’s accounts of its own inevitablility, and he demonstrates the
value of indigenous categories, not just as a way out of the scholarly
conundrums of ‘religion,’ but as a significant improvement in the way
we understand human cultures across time.”

In a remote canyon in northwest New Mexico, thousandyear-old sandstone walls shimmer in the sunlight,
stretching like ancient vertebrae against a turquoise sky.
This storied place—Chaco Canyon—carries multiple
layers of meaning for Native Americans and archaeologists,
writers and tourists, explorers and artists. Here, isolation,
the arid climate, and dry-laid construction have preserved
ruins that are monuments to prehistoric creativity and
perseverance. Chaco Canyon draws its power not only
from the ancient architecture sheltered beneath its walls
but also from the ever-changing light and the far-flung
vistas of the Colorado Plateau. Light and shadow, stone
and sky come together in the canyon. At the heart of
this sky-filled landscape lie twelve massive great houses.
The Chacoan landscape, with its formally constructed,
carefully situated architectural features, is charged
with symbolism. In this volume, archaeologist
Ruth M. Van Dyke analyzes the meanings and
experience of moving through this landscape to
illuminate Chacoan beliefs and social relationships.
“Van Dyke selects a phenomenological approach to
landscape that directs her to visibility, movement,
memory, and cosmology. Her field methods included
walking miles of ancient Chacoan roads.… Van Dyke’s
descriptions of these walks, what she noticed and felt,
augmented by her color photographs, are fascinating.”
—Linda Cordell, Journal of Field Archaeology
“It has been difficult to suggest a good first book
for those interested in diving into Chaco Canyon the
place, the ancient phenomenon, and the object of
archaeological scrutiny. Much of the literature on Chaco
assumes substantial background knowledge, and many
works are clearly written for those already initiated into
Chaco-arcana. In this context, Ruth Van Dyke’s concise,
non-technical, and well-written book stands out as an
exception. Van Dyke’s book is neither an introductory
text nor a survey of the literature. The author has a
definite perspective on Chaco and seeks to expand the
range of evidence used to interpret the place. At the
same time, the author presents a good summary of the
Chacoan archaeological record, takes few shortcuts in
introducing the range of perspectives on the Chaco
phenomenon, and cites most of the relevant literature.
The result is a book that works just as well as a first book
on Chaco as it does as a book with specific points to
make about Chaco and about archaeological practive in
general.”

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.

“Spanish colonial institutions of church and state, often simplistically represented
in historic literature as either glorious or exceptionally cruel, were variously resisted
or accepted but always endured by subaltern peoples who were themselves racially
and culturally diverse. This volume brings a critical archaeological perspective to
the material record of reactions and resistance of colonial subjects. While resistance
to Spanish conquests and Spanish colonial policy is a starting point, interpreting
resistance constitutes a problem the contributors investigate. The engaging and
richly textured case studies are written by leaders in the field. Drawn from North,
Central, and South America, they facilitate comparison and offer insights into the
complex behaviors and beliefs that were basic to Spanish colonial experiences and
that continue to resonate in twenty-first century hemispheric political dynamics.
Enduring Conquests is at once a thoughtful and provocative discussion and a
valuable scholarly resource.”—Linda Cordell, Professor Emerita, University of
Colorado
“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.”

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. These ancient fragments of food and baskets, hats and
hunting decoys, traps and rock art, and the lifeways they reflect are the subject of this wellillustrated book.

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

Hisat’sinom
Ancient Peoples in a Land Without Water
Edited by Christian E. Downum

The national monuments of Wupatki, Walnut Canyon, and Montezuma’s Castle showcase
the treasures of the first people who settled and developed farms, towns, and trade routes
throughout northern Arizona and beyond. Hopis call these ancient peoples Hisat’sinom, and
Spanish explorers named their hard, arid homeland the sierra sin agua, mountains without
water. Indeed, much of the region receives less annual precipitation than the quintessential
desert city of Tucson. In Hisat’sinom, archaeologists explain how the people of this region
flourished, despite living in a place with very little water and extremes of heat and cold.
Exploiting the mulching properties of volcanic cinders blasted out of Sunset Crater, the Hisat’sinom grew corn and cotton, made
and traded fine cotton cloth and decorated ceramics, and imported exotic goods like turquoise and macaws from hundreds—even
thousands—of miles away. From clues as small as the tiny fingerprints left on children’s toys, postholes in the floors of old houses, and
widely scattered corn fields, archaeologists have pieced together an intriguing portrait of what childhood was like, the importance of
weaving cotton cloth, and how farmers managed risk in a harsh environment. At its peak in the late 1100s, Wupatki stood as the
region’s largest and tallest town, a cultural center for people throughout the surrounding region. It was a gathering place, a trading
center, a treasury of exotic goods, a landmark, and a place of sacred ritual and ceremony. Then, after 1200, people moved away and the
pueblo sank into ruin.

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

“For anyone with an interest in southwestern prehistory, the eloquently written Hisat’sinom is a must read. It connects the past to the

“The history of the Native Americans who long ago lived around Arizona’s Sunset Crater and the Verde Valley have fascinated, and
sometimes puzzled, generations of researchers and casual visitors. We are most fortunate now to have an authoritative book that
general readers can enjoy, which explains what is currently known about the life and culture of these ancient peoples.”

A History of the Ancient Southwest
Stephen H. Lekson
2009. 452 pp., figures, notes, references, index, 7 x 10
Paper, ISBN 978-1-934691-10-6, $39.95
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.
“In Southwestern archaeology, a mind like Steve Lekson’s comes along once in a generation. This is his magnum opus—a highwire act that
strings hundreds of bold ideas into a dazzling new synthesis.”—David Roberts, author of In Search of the Old Ones
“Stephen Lekson has written among the most provocative and forward-looking books in archaeology today.… If you’ve never read a Lekson
book, start here. You’ll find an archaeology that doesn’t take itself too seriously, written with literary flair, wit, and a dash of sarcasm as only
Lekson can.”—Timothy Pauketat, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

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

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

Medieval Mississippians
The Cahokian World
Edited by Timothy R. Pauketat and Susan M. Alt
The eighth volume in the award-winning Popular Archaeology
Series introduces a key historical period in pre-Columbian
eastern North America —the “Mississippian” era—via a series
of colorful essays on places, practices, and peoples written from
Native American and non-Native perspectives on the past. The
volume lays out the basic contours of the early centuries of this
era (AD 1000–1300) in the Mississippian heartland, making
connections to later centuries and contemporary peoples.
Cahokia the place and Cahokian social history undergird the
book, but Mississippian material cultures, landscapes, and
descendants are highlighted, presenting a balanced, colorful,
and accessible view of the Mississippian world.

Mimbres Lives and Landscapes
Edited by Margaret C. Nelson and Michelle Hegmon

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

Ben A. Nelson, Margaret C. Nelson, Steve Northup, Jonathan Sandor, Karen Gust Schollmeyer, Harry J. Shafer
“In the eleventh century, Native American people living in the Mimbres region of southwestern New Mexico painted spectacular geometric
and figurative designs in black and white on pottery that captivates and inspires people around the world today. This book explores the
physical, social, and ideological lives of the people of the Mimbres region through current and ongoing archaeological research. Mimbres
Lives and Landscapes is engaging, readable, and comprehensive. The authors, who are experts in the field, invite you to explore the lives of
the people whose pottery we so admire and provoke you to think about the ways they constructed and changed their world. The book is a
visual and intellectual delight.”—Linda Cordell, National Academy of Sciences and American Academy of Arts and Sciences
“In this well-written and beautifully illustrated book, the latest results of archaeological research provide a cultural, environmental, and
historical context for the remarkable achievements of the Classic Mimbres artists. Nelson and Hegmon are to be congratulated for bringing
together leading researchers to produce a top-flight synthesis of current knowledge of the Mimbres tradition. This book will be of great
value to archaeologists and non-archaeologists alike.”—Bill Lipe, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, Washington State University

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.

In 1989–90, Congress enacted two laws, the National
Museum of the American Indian Act and the Native
American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, that
required museums and other repositories of Native
American human remains and cultural items to consult with, share information about,
and return some items to federally recognized Indian tribes and to Native Alaskan and
Hawaiian communities. What effects have these laws had on anthropological practice,
theory, and education in the United States? In 2004–2005, SAR and the Society for
Applied Anthropology gathered together a group of anthropological archaeologists to
address this question. This volume presents their conclusions and urges a continuing
and increasing cooperation between anthropologists and indigenous peoples.

Cash on the Table
Markets, Values, and Moral Economies
Edited by Edward F. Fischer
2013. Paper, ISBN 978-1-938645-00-6
E-book, ISBN 978-1-938645-07-5
A great deal is at stake in understanding the moral dimensions of
economic behavior and markets. Public debates over executive
compensation, the fair trade movement, and recent academic
inquiries into the limitations of rational-choice paradigms
all point to the relevance of moral values in our economic
decision-making processes. Moral values inform economic
behavior. On its face, this proposition is unassailable. Think of
the often spiritual appeal of consumer goods or the value-laden
stakes of upward or downward mobility. Consider the central
role that moral questions regarding poverty, access to health
care, the tax code, property and land rights, and corruption
play in the shaping of modern governments, societies, and
social movements. Ponder the meaning of fair trade coffee
and organic produce as well as Walmart’s everyday low prices.
The moral aspects of the marketplace have never been so
contentious or consequential; however, the realm of economics
is often treated as a world unto itself, a domain where human
behavior is guided not by emotions, beliefs, moralities, or the
passions that fascinate anthropologists but by the hard fact
of rational choices.
Anthropologists have historically tended to focus on the
corrosive effects of markets on traditional lifeways and the
ways in which global markets disadvantage marginalized
peoples. Economists often have difficulty recognizing that
markets are embedded in particular social and political power
structures and that “free” market transactions are often less free
than we might think. If anthropologists could view markets a
bit more ecumenically and if economists could view them a bit
more politically, then great value—cash on the table—could
be found in bringing these perspectives together.

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 middleincome 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.”
—Jennie Joe, University of Arizona
“This stimulating book challenges the oncology professional's viewpoint on the real
meaning behind the provision of culturally competent healthcare. The goals of this
book...are threefold: 1. to examine the metaphors of cancer that teach us about our
differences; 2. to delineate metaphors that naturalize inequalities; and 3. to contribute
to the alleviation of suffering associated with cancer while exposing those perspectives
that seek to homogenize diversity.... The contributing authors in Confronting Cancer
engage the professional to examine the anthropology of cancer and the application
of concepts such as cultural competence, health disparities, and the complexity of
diversity within cultural groups.”—Nancy Jo Bush, Oncology Nursing Forum

Paper, ISBN 978-1-934691-49-6, $34.95
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. This challenge is hardly unique to anthropology: knowledge
underwrites power, which is why governments invest in research, seek the consultation of scientists, and create bureaus and functions to house
and deploy expert resources. As a result, scientists have come to rely heavily on government support for research and development activities.

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.”

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.

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.

“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
“Forces of Compassion represents a remarkable contribution to the
subject of contemporary humanitarianism, ethics, and our discipline of
anthropology...and is suggestive of paths to take in facing the challenges

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

“The Futures of Our Pasts explores the finely nuanced margins
that separate stewardship from ownership, provenience from
provenance—key concepts when it comes to understanding the
politicization of our collective history. By largely transcending
legalities, this free-ranging interchange addresses the deeper
ethical foundations of appropriate and inappropriate avenues
of managing ancient cultural objects. Readers should expect
little consensus here—beyond a universal condemnation of
unrestrained looting and destruction, this is a conversation
about still-contested ground. Does the world actually share a
common human heritage populated by antiquities and other
cultural objects from remote eras? Can (and should) global
preservation initiatives transcend national boundaries and
interests? The Futures of Our Pasts provides a timely and
measured contribution to this increasingly shrill conversation.”
—David Hurst Thomas, Curator of North American
Archaeology, American Museum of Natural History
“The Futures of Our Pasts tackles a timely and vitally important

mines, it is important to understand the high price that miners,
downwinders, the Marshall Islanders, and those who live near
weapons facilities like Hanford, Rocky Flats, and Chelyabinsk,
Russia, have paid in terms of their health, economic welfare, and
even their lives. This is public anthropology at its best: the use of
fine-grained, careful case studies to illuminate the critical social
issues that surround nuclear production. It will provoke a healthy

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 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.

Ask yourself, how can we change our fisheries’ policies so they

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.

“This fascinating book admirably succeeds in navigating the complexities of a

including environmentalists are considering the relevance of religious faiths

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 politicaleconomic 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.

The Global Shaping of Experience in an Age of Psychopharmacology
Edited by Janis H. Jenkins
Paper, ISBN 978-1-934691-38-0, $34.95
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,

“At the intersection of the growing domains of research on the permanent reinvention of the self and the empire of the drug industry in
the contemporary world, Janis Jenkins’s edited volume brings together the best specialists of both fields to open the promising territory
of an anthropology of psychopharmaceuticals. With its unique global perspective, the book explores the way in which psychotropic
medicines against insomnia, depression, or psychosis affect bodies and minds but also transform the moral and political meanings of
suffering and trauma.”
—Didier Fassin, the James D. Wolfensohn Professor of Social Science
at the Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton), coauthor of The Empire of Trauma
“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.”

The Politics of Resources and Their Temporalities
Edited by Elizabeth Emma Ferry and Mandana E. Limbert
Paper, ISBN 978-1-934691-06-9, $29.95
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?

Images That Move
Edited by Patricia Spyer and Mary Margaret Steedly
2013. 416 pp., color plates, figures, notes, references, index, 6 x 9
Paper, ISBN 978-1-934691-91-5, $39.95
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.
“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.”—Kenneth M. George, author of Picturing Islam: Art and Ethics in a Muslim Lifeworld

Street Economies in the Urban Global South
Edited by Karen Tranberg Hansen, Walter E. Little, B. Lynne Milgram
2013. Approximately 272 pp., figures, notes, references, index, 6 x 9
Paper, ISBN 978-1-938645-14-3, $39.95
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.

Vital Relations
Modernity and the Persistent Life of Kinship
Edited by Susan McKinnon and Fenella Cannell

Paper, ISBN 978-1-938645-01-3, $39.95
“ 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 longstanding 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.”

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.

What are the prospects for human health in a world threatened by
disease and violence? Since World War II, at least 160 wars have
erupted around the globe. More than 24 million people have died
in these conflicts, and millions more suffered illness and injury. In
this volume, leading scholars and practitioners examine the impact
of structural, military, and communal violence on health, psychosocial well-being, and health
care delivery.
Contributors: Philippe Bourgois, Paul Farmer, Didier Fassin, H. K. Heggenhougen, Carolyn Nordstrom,
James Quesada, Barbara Rylko-Bauer, Merrill Singer, Linda Whiteford
“[This book] will make an important contribution to the growing field of the anthropology
of violence. People will read this volume because of the topic, its timeliness, and the
reputation of the participants…it provides very useful and important cases and analyses
of structural violence and how it links to individual experience and health.”
—Tom Leatherman, University of South Carolina
“The theoretical discussions and extensive integration with anthropological studies of
different kinds of violence in various settings displayed in each chapter make this an ideal
choice for graduate courses. Underemphasized in the prologue and epilogue is the theme
of hope and health, of resilience in the face of violence both episodic and chronic. Yet this
volume is filled with accounts of resilience and resourcefulness.”
—Jean N. Scandlyn, Medical Anthropology Quarterly
“The majority of the authors devote a portion of their chapter to a discussion of what can
be done to address structural violence and its impact on health.… The editors believe in
the need to witness, advocate, expose in the hopes of making even a small difference in
perspectives, policies, and ultimately, peoples’ health in these times of global violence. This
spirit…as presented by some of the leading anthropologists researching health and violence,
make this volume a significant contribution to the ever-growing literature on violence
studies.”—Heidi Bauer-Clapp, Landscapes of Violence

The Global Middle Classes
Theorizing Through Ethnography

E-book, ISBN 978-1-938645-05-1, $24.00
Surging middle-class aspirations and anxieties throughout the world have recently compelled
anthropologists to pay serious attention to middle classes and middle-class spaces, sentiments,
lifestyles, labors, and civic engagements. Middle classness has become a powerful category for
self-identification, while political and corporate leaders increasingly hail “the middle classes”
as the ideal subject-citizenry. Ethnographically rich and culturally particular, the essays in this
volume elucidate middle-class experience and discourse and in so doing add critical nuance to
theories of class itself.

“The middle classes, robust in some countries, but fragile in others, exert significant impact on the fate of nations and continents. In a
trailblazing departure, The Global Middle Classes identifies the middle class as the lens through which anthropology contributes to the
study of contemporary globalization. From Egypt to Hungary, India to Indonesia, Kathmandu to Kunming, the New York suburbs and
Mexican border to the Caribbean islands, the authors present compelling portraits of how middle class practices and aspirations are
contingently connected to global capitalism.”—Aihwa Ong, coeditor of Worlding Cities: Asian Experiments in the Art of Being Global
“This outstanding collection casts light on the cultural worlds of the global middle classes, showing that they are connected by webs of
consumption, aspiration, and communication but are also distinct in their styles, priorities, and anxieties. These essays are ethnographic
jewels covering India, Mexico, China, and several other sites, but are also beautifully linked to a wide body of social theory and
historical comparison. This book is a feast for anthropologists, sociologists, and historians concerned with globalization and with class
as emergent phenomena of the world we live in.”—Arjun Appadurai, Goddard Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication, NYU
“Thought-provoking, theoretically sophisticated, and empirically rich, this superb collection draws attention to the diversity of middle
classes in different parts of the world.”—Akhil Gupta, director, UCLA Center for India and South Asia

index, 6 x 9
Paper, ISBN 978-1-930618-94-7, $29.95
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.

Global Indigenous Politics Series
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
“Christen has drawn upon impressive ethnographic
research to craft a moving and important book that
captures some of the dilemmas and hopes of the present
moment in Aboriginal Australia and that also has the
potential to shape broader anthropological questions
about the conditions of indigeneity, the ways that
collectives forge alliances, the currency of culture, and
the contours of economic ‘development.’”

California, Los Angeles

Becoming Indian
The Struggle over Cherokee Identity
in the Twenty-first Century
Circe Sturm
2011. 280 pp., figures, map, tables, appendices, notes, references,
index, 7 x 10
Paper, ISBN 978-1-934691-44-1, $27.95
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 explores the social and cultural values that lie
behind this phenomenon and delves into the motivations of these Americans—
from so many different walks of life—to reinscribe their autobiographies and
find deep personal and collective meaning in reclaiming their Indianness.
Sturm points out that “becoming Indian” was not something people were quite
as willing to do forty years ago—the willingness to do so now reveals much
about the shifting politics of race and indigeneity in the United States.
“Circe Sturm is among the most influential, innovative scholars of Native
American experience today. Becoming Indian examines the phenomenon of
‘race shifters’—sometimes derided as ‘wannabes’ and ‘fake Indians’—who have
claimed Native identity by the many thousands in recent decades. It’s a tricky,
touchy topic, and yet one that Sturm handles with characteristic empathy and
insight. Her book gives us a new understanding of the struggle over who will
count as Native American and the tangled politics of heritage, blood, and
belonging in twenty-first century America.”
—Orin Starn, author of Ishi’s Brain: In Search of
America’s Last “Wild” Indian
“Becoming Indian is an utterly absorbing study of Cherokee associational life
in the age of multicultural America. With her engaging style and crystal clear
understanding of complex race and social relations, Circe Sturm unveils the
intricate motivations of individuals and groups with newly claimed Cherokee
identities, as well as the reactions to their claims by members of the three
federally recognized Cherokee nations. Sturm develops a novel vocabulary
and fresh conceptualizations to describe these ‘racial shifters’ and ‘citizen
Cherokees,’ revealing that while often at odds, they do share common
epistemological ground.”—Tiya A. Miles, University of Michigan

functionalist advice.… Regardless of the degree of translation
among tribal communities, the positions of these intellectuals
frame important points of information for ‘indigenous eyes’

For Indigenous Minds Only features Indigenous scholars, writers, and activists who have collaborated for the
creation of a 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.

Emilio del Valle Escalante
Paper, ISBN 978-1-930618-13-8, $34.95
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! 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?

“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
Paper, ISBN 978-1-934691-17-5, $29.95
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.”—Steve Striffler, University of New Orleans
A forum for cutting-edge work on the politics
of indigenous peoples around the world,
past and present.
This series is a forum for engaging work on the politics of
indigenous peoples around the world, past and present. We
welcome proposals for books that shed new light on the
political struggles of indigenous peoples and compel us to
rethink the implications of tribal autonomy or sovereignty for
nation-states and transnational organizing, notions of cultural
and biological property, and the very nature of politics and
indigeneity. Scholarship in interdisciplinary fields centered
on indigenous peoples, anthropology, history, sociology, law,
art history, and related fields will be considered. The series
includes both monographs and edited volumes.

Collaborative Research on Indigenous and Afro-Descendent Cultural Politics

2013. Approximately 262 pp., color plates, references, index, 6 x 9
Paper, ISBN 978-1-934691-55-7, $34.95
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 book, written in three languages, provides an explanation of the key
analytical questions and findings of each project.

“ 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.”

Nancy Marie Mithlo
2009. 208 pp., color plates, appendices, references, index, 6 x 9
Paper, ISBN 978-1-930618-97-8, $29.95
“[This book] routinely rethinks accepted understandings, offering
brilliant new thinking on issues of great importance. It has much to
teach a range of audiences about gender, art, power,
representation, and contemporary Native America.”
—C. Richard King, Washington State University
“[Mithlo] places the narratives of Native women artists in dialogue with theorists and
highlights points of convergence and disparity between them. Thus she mobilizes Native
women’s narratives as authoritative texts to achieve a necessary step toward reaching
intellectual parity.... Some ethnographers’ efforts to alternate between their own exegesis
and the narratives of consultants result in jarring and disconnected texts. However, Mithlo
successfully integrates her complex theoretical discussion with the artists’ own commentary.”

Reassembling the Collection
Ethnographic Museums and Indigenous Agency
Edited by Rodney Harrison, Sarah Byrne, and Anne Clarke
2013. 368 pp., figures, maps, table, notes, references, index, 6 x 9
Paper, ISBN 978-1-934691-94-6, $34.95
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.
This book is interdisciplinary in scope and international in coverage. 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 arises 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.”

Remapping Bolivia
Resources, Territory, and Indigeneity in a Plurinational State
Edited by Nicole Fabricant and Bret Gustafson
2011. 280 pp., figures, maps, notes, references, index, 6 x 9
Paper, ISBN 978-1-934691-51-9, $34.95
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 indigenousrelated research, which once focused heavily on the “Andean” (lo andino), but now pursue understandings of the effects of human movement
and articulation across geographic space and collective cultural and political mobilizations that are reimagining and reshaping the state
through multiple forms of grassroots political struggle.
Contributors: Nicole Fabricant, Fernando Garcés V., Bret Gustafson, Charles R. Hale, Joshua Kirshner, Pablo Mamani Ramirez, Carlos Revilla,
Ximena Soruco Sologuren
“Remapping Bolivia establishes a well-balanced articulation of the Andean region with the Amazonian and Chaco lowlands. In this sense,
and among other important ways of interpreting the topics studied in this book, remapping Bolivia means rethinking lo andino from the
lowlands. This is a novel and useful approach to Bolivian studies, and the book presents original ideas with up-to-date information.”
—Javier Sanjines, University of Michigan
“Remapping Bolivia is a timely volume that addresses important issues in a Latin American country where social movements have been
pioneering new conceptualizations of democracy, autonomy, and indigenous rights over the last decade.”
—Lesley Gill, Vanderbilt University
Roosters at Midnight
Indigenous Signs and Stigma in Local Bolivian Politics
Robert Albro
2010. 264 pp., figures, notes, glossary, references, index, 6 x 9
Paper, ISBN 978-1-934691-18-2, $34.95
Set in the largely urban provincial capital of Quillacollo, Roosters at Midnight is an ethnographic examination of
the changing stories of what it means to be indigenous but also urban in contemporary Bolivia—and in Latin
America—in the context of renewed local-level elections after a hiatus of almost forty years. An alternative to
more conventional accounts of collective indigenous mobilization in Bolivia during this period, this book is
concerned with the lives and careers of the kinds of provincial politicians who opened up local spaces for
Bolivia’s present national indigenous project. It examines how problem-solving networks built up in the
neoliberal era along the provincial and urban margins and as part of Bolivia’s “politics of the multitude” have
made the still contested terms of indigenous belonging more variegated and inclusive. Roosters at Midnight links the present high profile of
Bolivia’s national indigenous political project to often overlooked and ongoing, decades-long local political collaborations among people
routinely categorized as nonindigenous but “of humble origins.”
“Albro’s work provides us with a detailed look at the ways local politics work by following local politicians who must perform on a stage
mediated by historical legacies, unspoken prejudices, and complicated gendered enactments. His work follows a long line of political
anthropology and makes a timely contribution to the field by showing the intricate relations between political action and cultural notions
of value and honor.”—Nancy Postero, University of California, San Diego
“In its finely wrought detail, its loving attention to the subtleties of daily interaction, its insightful analysis of the political uses of culture and
heritage and genealogy, Roosters at Midnight is like no other ethnography of the Andes that I have read. It is a gem of a book.”
—Daniel M. Goldstein, Rutgers University

The Work of Sovereignty
Tribal Labor Relations and

David Kamper
Paper, ISBN 978-1-934691-25-0, $34.95
Who is shaping the future of economic development
in Indian Country? Who has a say in tribal economic
growth and who benefits? What role do American
Indian workers play in shaping how tribal economies and enterprises work? What
would it mean to conceive of indigenous self-determination from the vantage point
of work and workers? The Work of Sovereignty addresses these vital questions. It
explores the political, economic, and cultural forces that structure and influence
indigenous economic development, giving special attention to the perspectives and
priorities of the indigenous working people who build tribal futures with their
everyday labor. Kamper argues for the importance of recognizing tribal labor
relations as a factor in indigenous economic enterprises from gaming to health
care and beyond. Although most research on tribal sovereignty and economic
development focuses on legal theory and governmental operations, The Work of
Sovereignty centers on the people who make sovereignty work. It presents a
thoughtful, in-depth look at the ways labor relations play out in Indian Country,
how tribal employees view their relationships with their bosses and tribal
enterprises, and how this view connects to their enactment of indigenous
self-determination.
“This is a pathbreaking book. In a compelling, nuanced tale, Kamper explores the
complex interface between Native American politics and labor politics, between
grassroots organizing and legal strategies, and between overlapping identities and
oppressions. The Work of Sovereignty is a must-read for anyone in labor studies,
Native American studies, and anyone interested in the real world of social justice
organizing today.”
—Dana Frank, University of California, Santa Cruz
“The time is right for a book about tribal labor relations, and there is no one better
positioned to write it than David Kamper.”

Paper, ISBN 978-1-934691-99-1, $34.95
What do we know about race today? After years of debate and inquiry by
anthropologists, the question remains fraught with emotion and the answer is
complicated and uncertain. Anthropology of Race confronts the challenge of
formulating an effective rejoinder to new arguments and new data about race,
and attempts to address the intense desire to understand race and why it matters.
Contributors: Ron Eglash, Clarence C. Gravlee, John Hartigan, Linda M. Hunt,
Christopher W. Kuzawa, Jeffrey C. Long, Pamela L. Sankar, Sandra Soo-Jin Lee,
Zaneta M. Thayer, Nicole Truesdell
“Anthropology of Race examines the often disregarded intersectionality of genes,
biology, and culture in the formation of race. With bold and innovative analysis,
the authors challenge us to consider and then reconsider its biosocial and biocultural foundations. This volume creatively adds to the field a
complex and provocative interpretation of the anthropology of race.”
—Lee D. Baker, Duke University
“Mukhopadyay and Moses urged anthropologists in the 1990s to look at the biocultural model as a way to unravel the racial paradigm in the
United States. This exceptional, innovative, and carefully crafted volume follows that tradition and takes the notion of the biocultural model
to a whole new theoretical and empirical level. It is a timely and very important volume for anthropology and for our society.”
—Yolanda T. Moses, UC Riverside
“A must-read for scientists and medical practitioners, this volume builds on the vitally important humanistic and social scientific work
interrogating racial processes to deconstruct the popular categories that animate our understanding of human difference.”
—Deborah A. Thomas, University of Pennsylvania
“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.”

“[Barbara King’s] work is an exceptionally thoughtful synthesis of
matters critically relevant to the evolution of human language…
[It is] an excellent supplement for studies in anthropology,
psychology, primatology, or animal behavior.”
—F.S. Szalay, CHOICE
“The Information Continuum provides a succinct and thoughtful
account of the evolution of social information transfer in
monkeys, apes and humans. King’s novel approach to the study
of social information transfer offers many new and exciting
avenues of research for those interested in the evolution of
communication… I highly recommend this book to anyone
interested in topics related to information transfer or the
evolution of language.”
—Dr. Nancy Krusko, International Journal of Primatology
“I recommend this book as a provocative and forcefully presented
analysis that should be of interest to behavioral primatologists
and anthropologists.”
—Harold Gouzoules, American Journal of Primatology
“[Barbara] King has done an admirable job bringing together data
to support a continuity theory of the evolution of information
donation in primates. The book is very readable and should
enjoy wide readership among primatologists, anthropologists,
semioticians, linguists, and others interested in the evolution of
human communication.”
—John D. Newman, Journal of Nervous & Mental Disease
“[T]his nicely produced, well-edited book will make important
impacts and should provide a wide range of scholars with solid
insights into the evolution of human life histories. It will be a fine
resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses.”

The Shape of Script
How and Why Writing Systems Change
Edited by Stephen D. Houston
Paper, ISBN 978-1-934691-42-7, $34.95
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
“Having edited two valuable collections on how scripts are born (The First Writing) and how they
die (The Disappearance of Writing Systems), Stephen Houston has now assembled a third, equally
valuable collection, The Shape of Script…. Until quite recently, it was common for most scholars
of writing to assume that writing systems must inevitably evolve towards greater efficiency or
a more phonemic representation of the languages they express. This somewhat arid view is no
longer tenable.… As Houston rightly argues in his Preface, ‘The study of writing needs to be brought back into the fold of anthropology,
not as a marginal or recondite specialty but because it is an indispensable tool by which knowledge is transmitted.’ The wide-ranging
contributors to this collection respond to this brief with both erudition and imagination.”
—Andrew Robinson, author of The Story of Writing, Lost Languages,
The Man Who Deciphered Linear B, and Cracking the Egyptian Code
“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.”

“With its numerous excellent photographs,
focus on potters, and uncluttered
referencing style, the book succeeds as
a popular introduction to micaceous art
pottery. For those who have more academic
interests, the book lays the groundwork
for further research on micaceous pottery,
documenting micaceous pottery production
in the 1990s, and particularly in the
four appendixes that inventory museum
collections and list potters, suggesting
sources for future studies on what came
before the 1990s emergence of micaceous
art pottery.”

Art in Our Lives
Native Women Artists in Dialogue

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.

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.
After Eva Scott Fényes’s death, the books went to her daughter, Leonora Muse Curtin (1879–1972), and subsequently they were passed
to Leonora Curtin Paloheimo (1903–1999). More than one hundred years after their creation, the books became part of the Southwest
Museum’s collections. Unlike most of the museum’s other holdings of Native American art, these two books originated in a specific
commission provided by a young woman who continued to be a patron of the arts for the remainder of her life.
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.
Publication of this book was made possible by the generous support of The Caryll and William Mingst/The Mildred E. and Harvey S. Mudd
Publications Fund at the Autry National Center of the American West.

This book represents the culmination of David
Grant Noble’s forty-year career as a fine arts
photographer and writer. It features seventy-six
photographs of the land, people, and deep past of the Southwest, most published
here for the first time. Accompanying these beautiful images are personal reflections
interwoven with historical and anthropological information. The moving passages
reveal much about the man and the magnificent land that inspires his artistry.
These photographs and words portray the land’s soul, the artist’s vision. Through
them, the ancient landscapes and peoples of the Southwest tell their tales, display their
beauty, remind us that we are only the most recent of many who have lived and been
inspired here.
“This book is about humanity, timelessness, and place in the American Southwest.
Amidst an alternating beat of facts, personal narrative, and photographs of
landscapes imprinted with ancient images and ancestral homes, the reader/viewer
is engaged in a singular odyssey through centuries and sacred space where the
boundaries of time are erased. As David Noble explores the unpredictable and
uncertain bridges between past and present, he weaves all of us into a continuous
—if not seamless—fabric of being in a moment in time.”
—Polly Schaafsma, author of Indian Rock Art of the Southwest
“Explorer, writer, and photographer extraordinaire David Grant Noble leads us on an
archaeological odyssey through the Southwestern landscape. The spirituality of the
places and the Native American inhabitants, both contemporary and ancient, are
splendidly captured by Noble’s elegant prose and vivid photographs. In the Places
of the Spirits is a very personal chronicle by one of the Southwest’s most sensitive
and insightful observers.”—Mark Michel, The Archaeological Conservancy

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.”

In 2010, Santa Fe officially turned 400;
four centuries of a rich and contentious
history of Indian, Spanish, and American
interactions. Pueblo Indians settled along
the banks of the Rio Santa Fe as long ago
as the sixth century CE. By 1610, Spanish
colonists had established the town as a
distant outpost in Spain’s expanding empire.
Drawing on recent archaeological discoveries
and historical research, this updated edition
of a classic history details the town’s founding,
its survival through revolt and reconquest,
its turbulent politics, its lively trade with
Mexico and the United States, and the lives
of its most important citizens, from the
governors Peralta, Vargas, and Armijo to
the madam Doña Tules. The origins and
transformations of the very building blocks
of Santa Fe, from the iconic Palace of the
Governors to the city’s acequia (irrigation)
system, are revealed in these pages.

The Santa Fe Fiesta, Reinvented 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.
