Red-Inked Retablos
Rigoberto González
In the Mexican Catholic tradition, retablos are ornamental structures
made of carved wood framing an oil painting of a devotional image, usually
a patron saint. Acclaimed author and essayist Rigoberto González com-memorates
the passion and the pain of these carvings in his new volume
Red-Inked Retablos, a moving memoir of human experience and thought.
This frank new collection masterfully combines accounts from
González’s personal life with reflections on writers who have influenced him.
The collection offers an in-depth meditation on the development of gay
Chicano literature and the responsibilities of the Chicana/o writer.
Widely acclaimed for giving a voice to the Chicano GLBT community,
González’s writing spans a wide range of genres: poetry, fiction, nonfiction,
and bilingual books for children and young adults. Introduced by Women’s
Studies professor Maythee Rojas, Retablos collects thirteen pieces that
together provide a narrative of González’s life from his childhood through
his career as a writer, critic, and mentor.
In Red-Inked Retablos, González continues to expand his oeuvre on
mariposa (literally, “butterfly”) memory, a genre he pioneered in which
Chicano/a writers openly address (non-traditional) sexuality. For González,
mariposa memory is important testimony not only about reconfiguring
personal identity in relation to masculinity, culture, and religion. It’s also
about highlighting values like education, shaping a sex-positive discourse,
and exercising agency through a public voice. It’s about making the queer
experience a Chicano experience and the Chicano experience a queer one.
Rigoberto González is an associate professor of English at Rutgers
University–Newark. He is the author of thirteen books of poetry and prose
and is the editor of Camino del Sol: Fifteen Years of Latina and Latino Writing.
He is the recipient of Guggenheim and NEA fellowships and
a grant from the New York Foundation for the Arts, and winner of the
American Book Award, The Poetry Center Book Award, and The Shelley
Memorial Award of The Poetry Society of America. He is a contributing
editor for Poets & Writers Magazine and a member of the executive board of
directors of the National Book Critics Circle.
“Blurs the seeming duality in creative nonfiction between the
expository and the personal.” —Daniel Chacón, author of Unending
Rooms
“These beautifully written personal essays pay tribute to the people
and events that influence González’s work as a poet, writer, critic,
and literary activist. This work is also a call to action, an invitation,
and a hope for the next generation of scholars to keep up with the
flourishing literary production by Latino mariposa writers.”—Emmy
Pérez, author of Solstice

Natural Takeover
of Small Things
Tim Z. Hernandez
Natural Takeover of Small Things is a collection of poetry that offers an
unflinching view of “California’s Heartland,” the San Joaquin Valley. In his
distinctive, lyrical, pull-no-punches style, Tim Z. Hernandez offers a glimpse
of the people, the landscape, the rhythm, and the detritus of the rural West.
As Hernandez peels back the façade of the place, he reveals that home is
not always where the heart is.
The book opens with an image of Fresno as “the inexhaustible nerve/
in the twitching leg of a dog/three hours after being smashed/beneath
the retread wheel/of a tomato truck en route to/a packing house that was
raided/by the feds just days before the harvest.” It ends with “Adios, Fresno,”
an astringent farewell to the city: “You can keep your fields,/the sun will
follow me./I won’t reconsider./I’ve overstayed my welcome/by three genera-tions.”
By then, we have toured the breadth of the San Joaquin Valley, have
tasted Fuyu persimmons and lengua, have witnessed a home crumbling to
foreclosure, and listened to the last words of a dying campesino. We’re made
aware that this is an atmosphere scented by an entirely organic stew—a
melding of culture, objects, and forms. This is a place where rubble mirrors
the refuse of lives. But garbage is also compost. And if we squint, we can see
through the wreckage a few small patches where love could be taking root
and hope might actually be sprouting.
Tim Z. Hernandez is a poet, novelist, and performance artist whose awards
include the 2006 American Book Award, the 2010 Premio Aztlán Prize in
Fiction, and the James Duval Phelan Award from the San Francisco Founda-tion.
He is the author of a previous book of poetry, Skin Tax, and the novel
Breathing, in Dust. In 2011 the Poetry Society of America named him one of
sixteen New American Poets. He holds a BA from Naropa University and an
MFA from Bennington College.
“This collection is distinctive in its ability to utilize crisp imagery,
lyric, musicality, and narrative to create a collection that flows
smoothly and opens the reader to a new window in the Chicano
experience.”—Matthew Shenoda, author of Seasons of Lotus,
Seasons of Bone: Poems
“A lyrical invocation of the San Joaquin Valley’s semi-arid landscape,
with a loving and deft portrayal of those who grow up, toil, and die
within its vast, flat expanses.” —Diana García, author of When

Senegal Taxi
Juan Felipe Herera
“I wish I could find the words to tell you the story of our village after you
were killed.” So begins Senegal Taxi, the new work by one of contemporary
poetry’s most vibrant voices, Juan Felipe Herrera. Known for his activism
and writings that bring attention to oppression and injustice, Herrera turns
to stories of genocide and hope in Sudan. Senegal Taxi offers the voices of
three children escaping the horrors of war in Africa.
Unflinching in its honesty, brutality, and beauty, the collection fiercely
addresses conflict and childhood, inviting readers to engage in complex
and often challenging issues. Senegal Taxi weaves together verse, dialogue,
and visual art created by Herrera specifically for the book. Stylistically
genre-leaping, these many layers are part of the collection’s innovation.
Phantom-like televisions, mud drawings, witness testimonies, insects, and
weaponry are all storytellers that join the siblings for a theatrical crescendo.
Each poem is told from a different point of view, which Herrera calls “mud
drawings,” referring to the evocative symbols of hope the children create as
they hide in a cave on their way to Senegal, where they plan to catch a boat
to the United States.
This collection signals a poignant shift for Herrera as he continues to
use his craft to focus attention on global concerns. In so doing, he offers an
acknowledgment that the suffering of some is the suffering of all.
Juan Felipe Herrera is a noted writer, poet, and playwright. He is a professor
of creative writing in the Department of Creative Writing at the University
of California, Riverside. In 2012 he was appointed by Governor Jerry Brown
as California’s Poet Laureate, and he is the recipient of the Guggenheim
Fellowship in Poetry. He has published twenty-eight books, including Half
of the World in Light: New and Selected Poems, winner of a National Book
Critics Circle Award.
“While reporters can give you the what, when, and where of a war, a
poet with the enormous gifts of Juan Herrera can give you its soul.
He does this by giving us the voices of both sides. The Janjaweed, who
boast about their horrible deeds, and those who are their victims.
Among them children with no father, no mother, no food, and no
water.”—Ishmael Reed
“Poem, story, mirage, and ritual—this book is steeped in the heat and
sand, oil and blood, families and warriors that inspired it. Senegal
Taxi grabs your heart as Herrera artfully writes with honesty, grace,
clarity, a pulse on justice, and an understanding of the paradoxes
contained in the act of being human amidst the struggles, tragedy,
dreams, and survival which bleed from modern Sudan.”

Leaving Tulsa
Jennifer Elise Foerster
In her first magical collection of poetry, Jennifer Elise Foerster weaves
together a mythic and geographic exploration of a woman’s coming of age
in a dislocated time. Leaving Tulsa, a book of road elegies and laments,
travels from Oklahoma to the edges of the American continent through
landscapes at once stark and lush, ancient and apocalyptic. The imagery that
cycles through the poems—fire, shell, highway, wing—gives the collection a
rich lyrical-dramatic texture. Each poem builds on a theme of searching for
a lost “self”—an “other” America—that crosses biblical, tribal, and ecological
mythologies.
In Leaving Tulsa, Foerster is not afraid of the strange or of estrangement.
The narrator occupies a space in between and navigates the offbeat experi-ences
of a speaker that is of both Muscogee and European heritage. With
bold images and candid language, Foerster challenges the perceptions of
what it means to be Native, what it means to be a woman, and what it means
to be an American today. Ultimately, these brave and luminous poems
engage and shatter the boundaries of time, self, and continent.
Foerster’s journey transcends both geographic space and the confines of
the page to live vividly in the mind of the reader.
Jennifer Elise Foerster has an MFA in writing from Vermont College of Fine
Arts, a BFA from the Institute of American Indian Arts, and she was a Wallace
Stegner Fellow in Poetry at Stanford University. Widely published in journals
and anthologies, Foerster is of German, Dutch, and Muscogee descent and a
member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation of Oklahoma.
“Wow. This first book of poems by Jennifer Foerster reminds me
of the urgent vision fueling Kerouac’s On the Road. The road is a
demanding being. Foerster spins her poem-songs like wheels. She’s
from a younger generation, and not a man but a young native
woman trying to put the story of a broken people back together.”
—Joy Harjo, author of Crazy Brave: A Memior
“In these poems spun from what has been scattered, Jennifer Foerster
fashions the vessels not to re-gather those ‘relics/littering the plains,’
but to honor, to name. She herself has learned, beautifully.”
—Eleni Sikelianos, author of Body Clock
“Foerster is that rarity in our time of fragmentation and apocalypse:
a poet who explores history and pain, yes, but a poet, also, of
healing and hope. Leaving Tulsa is heartening and beautiful and
necessary.”—Jon Davis, author of Preliminary Report

Baja California Missions
In the Footsteps of the Padres
Text by David Burckhalter
Photographs by David Burckhalter
and Mina Sedgwick
Foreword by Bernard L. Fontana
Bathed in desert light and shadow, rising up from the earth in improb-able,
faraway places, stand eight original Spanish missions on Mexico’s Baja
California peninsula. Built of stone by Roman Catholic priests and indig-enous
laborers in the eighteenth century, these stunning missions dominate
the landscape around them. Baja California Missions: In the Footsteps of
the Padres is a beautiful and informative book about the eight monumental
Spanish colonial churches, buildings seldom seen by those familiar with the
missions of California, Arizona, and Sonora, Mexico.
With gorgeous photographs of the architecture and religious art, and
supported by a concise history that outlines the peninsula’s exploration and
colonization by Roman Catholic priests, Baja California Missions excels as a
book of photography and history. It promises adventure for readers at home,
as well as for travelers ready to explore the churches in person.
The eight Spanish colonial stone churches of Baja California endures
as the only intact originals of 34 missions built by the padres during the
peninsula’s colonization. Due to structural renovations and restorations of the
artwork undertaken over the last 30 years, the renowned mission churches
have become sources of pride to the citizens of Baja California. Travelers are
invited to visit at any time, especially during patron saint day celebrations.
As a guide, Baja California Missions is fully up to date, with directions
for navigating Baja’s paved highways and desert and mountain roads. The
mission sites are pinpointed on a topographic roadmap of the peninsula. A
church floor plan is provided to accompany a walk-through tour for each
church interior. The lovely eighteenth-century oil paintings and wooden
statues that grace the church altars are also identified and described.
David Burckhalter is the author or photographer of five books about
northern Mexico. He resides in Tucson, Arizona. Mina Sedgwick is an artist
and photographer. She lives on a ranch near Nogales, Arizona.

Women and Ledger Art
Four Contemporary
Native American Artists
Richard Pearce
Ledger art, a traditional visual form for recording American Indian his-tory
on the Plains, has traditionally been created by men to recount the lives
of male warriors. During the past forty years, this form has been adopted by
Native female artists, who are turning previously untold stories of women’s
lifestyles and achievements into ledger-style pictures. While there has been
a resurgence of interest in ledger art, little has been written about these
women ledger artists.
Women and Ledger Art calls attention to the extraordinary achievements
of these strong women who have chosen to express themselves through
ledger art. Author Richard Pearce foregrounds these contributions by
focusing on four contemporary women ledger artists: Sharron Ahtone
Harjo (Kiowa), Colleen Cutschall (Oglala Lakota), Linda Haukaas (Sicangu
Lakota), and Dolores Purdy Corcoran (Caddo). Pearce spent six years in
continual communication with the women, learning about their work and
their lives. Women and Ledger Art examines the artists and explains how they
expanded Plains Indian history.
To provide context, Pearce opens the book with an in-depth examination
of the life and work of Lois Smoky, one of the original “Kiowa Five,” using
previously unpublished material. Through this detailed analysis, Pearce
traces the trajectories that each artist takes from Smoky’s work. As a result of
his collaboration with the women, he also contrasts the Kiowa, Lakota, and
Caddo picture stories with stories of Western expansion reflected on the
ledger pages.
With 46 stunning images of works in various mediums—from traditional
forms on recovered ledger pages to simulated quillwork and sculpture,
Women in Ledger Art reflects the new life these women have brought to an
important transcultural form of expression.
Richard Pearce is Professor Emeritus of English at Wheaton College in
Massachusetts. He has published six books on modernist narrative. Now in
retirement, he has applied his experience to the narratives of Plains Indian
ledger art, extending his commitment to cross-cultural feminism.

A New American Family
A Love Story
Peter Likins
By most accounts Pete Likins has had a successful life. But his personal
accomplishments are only the backdrop for the real story—the story of his
family, whose trials and triumphs hold lessons for many American families in
the twenty-first century.
This poignant but ultimately empowering memoir tells the story of
Peter Likins, his wife Patricia, and the six children they adopted in the 1960s,
building a family beset by challenges that ultimately strengthened all bonds.
With issues such as inter-racial adoption, mental illness, drug addiction,
unwed pregnancy, and homosexuality entwined in their lives, the Likins’ tale
isn’t just a family memoir—it’s a story of the American experience, a memoir
with a message. With circumstances of race, age, and health making all of
their children virtually unadoptable by 1960s standards, Pat and Pete never
strayed from the belief that loyalty and love could build a strong family.
Both Pete and Pat have served as teachers, and Pete’s long academic
career—holding positions as a professor, dean, provost, and then president—
illuminates more than just his personal success. Pete’s professional attain-ments
produce a context for his family story, wherein high achievements in
educational, athletic, and financial terms coexist with the joys and sorrows of
this exceptional family.
With degrees from Stanford and MIT, Peter Likins served as an engi-neering
professor at UCLA, a dean and then provost at Columbia University,
president of Lehigh University, and then president of the University of
Arizona. Retired now, he lives with his wife Pat in Tucson.

“In A New American Family: A Love Story, Peter Likins offers a

The message of Peter Likins’ book is one that will resonate with
those of us who work with, study, and teach about families. The book
could easily serve as a case study of family diversity in all its forms.
However, I share Dr. Likins’ hope that his book will also speak to a

Barry Goldwater and the
Remaking of the American
Political Landscape
Edited by Elizabeth Tandy Shermer
Nearly four million Americans worked on Barry Goldwater’s behalf in the
presidential election of 1964. These citizens were as dedicated to their cause
as those who fought for civil rights and against the Vietnam War. Arguably,
the conservative agenda that began with Goldwater has had effects on
American politics and society as profound and far reaching as the liberalism
of the 1960s. According to the essays in this volume, it’s high time for a
reconsideration of Barry Goldwater’s legacy.
Since Goldwater’s death in 1998, politicians, pundits, and academics
have been assessing his achievements and his shortcomings. The twelve
essays in this volume thoroughly examine the life, times, and impact of “Mr.
Conservative.” Scrutinizing the transformation of a Phoenix department
store owner into a politician, de facto political philosopher, and five-time
US senator, contributors highlight the importance of power, showcasing
the relationship between the nascent conservative movement’s cadre of
elite businessmen, newsmen, and intellectuals and their followers at the
grassroots—or sagebrush—level.
Goldwater, who was born in the Arizona Territory in 1909, was deeply
influenced by his Western upbringing. With his appearance on the national
stage in 1964, he not only articulated a new brand of conservatism but gave
a voice to many Americans who were not enamored with the social and
political changes of the era. He may have lost the battle for the presidency,
but he energized a coalition of journalists, publishers, women’s groups, and
Southerners to band together in a movement that reshaped the nation.
Elizabeth Tandy Shermer is an assistant professor of history at Loyola
University Chicago. She is the author of Sunbelt Capitalism: Phoenix and
the Transformation of American Politics, co-editor (with Nelson Lichtenstein)
of The Right and Labor in America: Politics, Ideology, and Imagination, and a
regular contributor to Bloomberg View’s economic history blog, Echoes.
“The essays making up the chapters are interesting, well researched,
and thought-provoking.” —Mary Brennan, author of Wives, Mothers,
and the Red Menace: Conservative Women and the Crusade Against
Communism
“Shermer reframes important controversies such as the relationship
between southern and western conservatism, between religious
and business conservatism, and between elite and grassroots
mobilizations on the right.” —Bruce J. Schulman, author of The

Mapping Wonderlands
Illustrated Cartography of Arizona,
1912–1962
Dori Grifin
Though tourism now plays a recognized role in historical research and
regional studies, the study of popular touristic images remains sidelined by
chronological histories and objective statistics. Further, Arizona remains
underexplored as an early twentieth-century tourism destination when
compared with nearby California and New Mexico. With the notable
exception of the Grand Canyon, little has been written about tourism in the
early days of Arizona’s statehood.
Mapping Wonderlands fills part of this gap in existing regional studies
by looking at early popular pictorial maps of Arizona. These cartographic
representations of the state utilize formal mapmaking conventions to create
a place-based state history. They introduce illustrations, unique naming
conventions, and written narratives to create carefully visualized landscapes
that emphasize the touristic aspects of Arizona.
Analyzing the visual culture of tourism in illuminating detail, this book
documents how Arizona came to be identified as an appealing tourism
destination. Providing a historically situated analysis, Dori Griffin draws on
samples from a comprehensive collection of materials generated to promote
tourism during Arizona’s first half-century of statehood. She investigates
the relationship between natural and constructed landscapes, visual culture,
and narratives of place. Featuring sixty-six examples of these aesthetically
appealing maps, the book details how such maps offered tourists and other
users a cohesive and storied image of the state. Using historical documenta-tion
and rhetorical analysis, this book combines visual design and historical
narrative to reveal how early-twentieth-century mapmakers and map users
collaborated to imagine Arizona as a tourist’s paradise.
Dori Griffin, a former Arizona Humanities Council Road Scholar, is an
assistant professor of art and design at the University of Southern Mississippi.
“Rich in content and beautifully illustrated, Mapping Wonderlands
makes a major contribution our understanding about the role of
mapmaking in advertising and promotion.”—Richard Francaviglia,
author of Over the Range: A History of the Promontory Summit
Route of the Pacific Railroad
“This is an imaginative study, using the visual culture of tourism to
explore the identity of Arizona, one that has broad implications for
our understanding of the Southwest. Griffin has much to say about
cultural memory and the touristic experience.” —Betsy Fahlman,

The Ecological Other
Environmental Exclusion in American
Culture
Sarah Jaquette Ray
With roots in eugenics and other social-control programs, modern
American environmentalism is not always as progressive as we would like
to think. In The Ecological Other, Sarah Jaquette Ray examines the ways in
which environmentalism can create social injustice through discourses of the
body.
Ray investigates three categories of ecological otherness: people with
disabilities, immigrants, and Native Americans. Extending recent work
in environmental justice ecocriticism, Ray argues that the expression of
environmental disgust toward certain kinds of bodies draws problematic
lines between ecological “subjects”—those who are good for and belong in
nature—and ecological “others”—those who are threats to or out of place in
nature. Ultimately, The Ecological Other urges us to be more critical of how
we use nature as a tool of social control and to be careful about the ways in
which we construct our arguments to ensure its protection.
The book challenges long-standing assumptions in environmentalism
and will be of interest to those in environmental literature and history,
American studies, disability studies, and Native American studies, as well as
anyone concerned with issues of environmental justice.
Sarah Jaquette Ray is an assistant professor of English and a coordinator
of the Geography and Environmental Studies program at the University of
Alaska Southeast in Juneau.
“In its critical examination of the disabled body as an ‘ecological
other’ that is also raced and gendered, this book adds a very
important and innovative perspective to our understanding of
constructions of environmentalism and nationalism in the United
States.” — Noël Sturgeon, author of Environmentalism in Popular
Culture: Gender, Race, Sexuality, and the Politics of the Natural
“Ray challenges assumptions in the field of environmentalism in
general and in environment and literature in particular. She raises
crucial questions about the way that environmentalism excludes
certain groups that environmentalists and environmental studies
programs should seriously consider.”— Rachel Stein, author of

of photographs, graphic design, architectural drawings, artist books, essays,
and poems by University of Arizona faculty and students is an ode to the
dry rivers of Tucson, Arizona. Poems and essays by Nathaniel Brodie, Alison
Deming, Allison Dushane, Gregg Garfin, Ander Monson, Logan Phillips,
and Paul Robbins provide poetic perspectives on the Rillito River; an
overview of the region’s climate, hydrology, and water policy; a comparison
between the theory and practice of interdisciplinary research; and a trail of
the overlapping roles of science and art in the construction of contemporary
concepts of nature from the Romantic period to the present.
Art and design projects include intercontinental comparisons of arid
regions and river systems, finely detailed drawings and photographic series
reflecting direct encounters with the local landscape, and collaborations with
the Rillito River Project. One scientist in the project describes the ability of
these creative projects to “transform messages from the stilted language
of scientific literature into rich, multifaceted vocabularies that can be
grasped by those interested, but inexpert, in the subject matter.” Turning the
desecrated and overlooked dry rivers of Tucson into muse and inspiration,
this project speaks volumes about community, creativity, and responsibility.

Rebozos de Palabras
An Helena María Viramontes
Critical Reader
Edited by Gabriella Gutiérez y Muhs
Helena María Viramontes is a professor, scholar-activist, and renowned
author of works of fiction and nonfiction. Her work has been anthologized
and is read widely in the United States and abroad. For many of her readings
and speaking engagements she arrives wearing a rebozo, a shawl worn by
Mexican and Chicana women living on both sides of the US–Mexico border.
Once, when asked about her rebozo, Viramontes explained that the pre-
Columbian icon is her “security blanket,” which she embraces in order to find
comfort. For her readers, her writing functions like a “rebozo de palabras,” a
shawl woven with words that nurture.
As Gabriella Gutiérrez y Muhs points out in her insightful introduction,
not only has Viramontes’s work not yet received the broad critical engage-ment
it richly deserves, but there remains a monumental gap in the inter-pretations
of Chicana literature that reach mainstream audiences. Rebozos
de Palabras addresses this void by focusing on how the Chicana image has
evolved through Viramontes’s body of work. With a foreword by Sonia
Saldívar-Hull, this collection addresses Viramontes entire oeuvre through
newly produced articles by major literary critics and emerging scholars who
engage Viramontes’s writing from multiple perspectives.
Gabriella Gutiérrez y Muhs is an associate professor of Modern Languages
and Women’s Studies at Seattle University, where she also directs the
Diversity, Citizenship, and Social Justice Core Track. She has held the Wismer
Professor Endowed Chair for Gender and Diversity and has served as
director of the Latin American Studies Program. She is also an internationally
renowned Chicana poet and cultural worker.
“Rebozos de Palabras is the perfect guide for discussing Viramontes’s
incredible body of work. A number of these essays provide a
sophisticated intellectual framework that allows readers to discover
why she’s an essential American writer.”—Rigoberto González,
editor of Camino del Sol: Fifteen Years of Latina and Latino Writing
“Rebozos de Palabras is weaving a third space, nepantla, filled with
memories, voices, and historias. It negotiates spaces, places, faces,
and lenguas into colorful visibility and agency. Through the work of
critics we become embraced within the shawl Viramontes constructs
through sounds, words, voices, dialogues, and action.”—Rosalía
Solórzano

Latin American
Documentary Filmmaking
Major Works
David William Foster
Latin American Documentary Filmmaking is the first volume written in
English to explore Latin American documentary filmmaking with extensive
and intelligent analysis. David William Foster, the leading authority on Latin
American urban cultural production, provides rich, new interpretations on
the production of gender, political persecution, historical conflicts, and
exclusion from the mainstream in many of Latin America’s most important
documentary films.
Foster provides a series of detailed examinations of major texts of Latin
American filmmaking, discussing their textual production and processes of
meaning. His analysis delves deeply into the world of Latin American film
and brings forth a discourse of structure that has previously been absent
from the fields of filmmaking and Latin American studies. This volume
provides perspective on diverse and methodological approaches, pulling
from a wide scope of cinematic traditions. Using his own critical readings
and research, Foster presents his findings in terms that are accessible to
non-Spanish speakers and Latin American film enthusiasts.
A much-needed contribution to the field of Latin American documen-tary
film, Foster’s research and perspective will be a valuable source for those
interested in film studies, gender studies, and culture.
David William Foster is Regents’ Professor of Spanish and Women and
Gender Studies at Arizona State University. He is the author of several books,
including Urban Photography in Argentina: Nine Artists of the Post-Dictatorship
Era.
“Foster’s illuminating and sensitive analysis of Latin American
documentary films is clearly based on extensive reading and a
solid critical base. It stages the workings of a sharp, critical mind,
thoroughly familiar with the critical debates on Latin American
film and culture.”—Santiago Juan-Navarro, co-editor of Nuevas

Doing Good
Racial Tensions and Workplace
Inequalities at a Community Clinic
in El Nuevo South
Natalia Deeb-Sosa
Throughout the “New South,” relationships based on race, class, social
status, gender, and citizenship are being upended by the recent influx of
Latina/o residents. Doing Good examines these issues as they play out in the
microcosm of a community health center in North Carolina that previously
had served mostly African American clients but now serves predominantly
Latina/o clients. Drawing on eighteen months of experience as a participant-observer
in the clinic and in-depth interviews with clinic staff at all levels,
Natalia Deeb-Sossa provides an informative and fascinating view of how
changing demographics are profoundly affecting the new social order.
Deeb-Sossa argues persuasively that “moral identities” have been
constructed by clinic staff. The high-status staff—nearly all of whom are
white—see themselves as heroic workers. Mid- and lower-status Latina staff
feel like they are guardians of people who are especially needy and deserv-ing
of protection. In contrast, the moral identity of African American staffers
had previously been established in response to serving “their people.”
Their response to the evolving clientele has been to create a self-image of
superiority by characterizing Latina/o clients as “immoral,” “lazy,” “working
the system,” having no regard for rules or discipline, and being irresponsible
parents.
All of the health-care workers want to be seen as “doing good.” But they
fail to see how, in constructing and maintaining their own moral identity in
response to their personal views and stereotypes, they have come to treat
each other and their clients in ways that contradict their ideals.
Natalia Deeb-Sossa is an assistant professor in the University of California at
Davis’ Chicana/o Studies Department.
“The analysis is well supported with qualitative and demographic
evidence. I expect others will find this analysis fresh and useful as
they think about the consequences of “Latinization” in other regions
and how staf accommodate a diferent clientele.”—Patricia Zavella,
author of I’m Neither Here nor There: Mexicans’ Quotidian Struggles
with Migration and Poverty
“It’s more than constructing identities in a health care clinic;
it’s about reconfiguring race relations in a context of hyper
immigration.”—Cecilia Menjívar, author of Enduring Violence:

Chicana and Chicano
Mental Health
Alma, Mente y Corazón
Yvette G. Flores
Spirit, mind, and heart—in traditional Mexican health beliefs all three
are inherent to maintaining psychological balance. For Mexican Americans,
who are both the oldest Latina/o group in the United States as well as some
of the most recent arrivals, perceptions of health and illness often reflect a
dual belief system that has not always been incorporated in mental health
treatments.
Chicana and Chicano Mental Health offers a model for understand and
to address the mental health challenges and service disparities affecting
Mexican immigrants and Mexican Americans/Chicanos. Yvette G. Flores,
who has more than thirty years of experience as a clinical psychologist,
provides in-depth analysis of the major mental health challenges facing
these groups: depression; anxiety disorders, including post-traumatic stress
disorder; substance abuse; and intimate partner violence. Using a life-cycle
perspective that incorporates indigenous health beliefs, Flores examines
the mental health issues affecting children and adolescents, adult men and
women, and elderly Mexican Americans.
Through case studies, Flores examines the importance of understanding
cultural values, class position, and the gender and sexual roles and expecta-tions
Chicanas/os negotiate, as well as the legacies of migration, transcul-turation,
and multiculturality. Chicana and Chicano Mental Health is the first
book of its kind to embrace both Western and Indigenous perspectives.
Ideally suited for students in psychology, social welfare, ethnic studies,
and sociology, the book also provides valuable information for mental health
professionals who desire a deeper understanding of the needs and strengths
of the largest ethnic minority and Hispanic population group in the United
States.
Yvette G. Flores is a professor of psychology in the department of
Chicana/o studies at the University of California, Davis. Flores is the author
of Theorizing Justice in Chicano Families, and her work has been published in
several journals.

Learning the Possible
Mexican American Students
Moving from the Margins of Life
to New Ways of Being
Reynaldo Reyes I
Foreword by Christian J. Faltis
Learning the Possible demonstrates that it is truly possible for under-prepared
high school graduates to be successful in college. It chronicles the
struggles and triumphs of five Mexican American students in their first year
of college, aided by a one-year scholarship and support program called the
College Assistance Migrant Program. CAMP, a federally funded program,
is designed to help college students from migrant and/or economically
disadvantaged families complete their first year of college. CAMP’s principal
objective is to put students on a trajectory toward completion of a bachelor’s
degree.
Laura, Christina, Luz, Maria, and Ruben, as the author calls them, had
daunting challenges: difficulties with English, extremely low self-confidence,
teenage motherhood, conflict between gender roles and personal desires,
and a history of gang membership. Focusing on the importance of con-structing
a new identity as a successful student, Reynaldo Reyes I shares
with readers the experiences of these marginalized students. Their stories,
coupled with perspectives from instructors, CAMP staff and counselors, and
the author’s own observations, illustrate the influence of past schooling, the
persistence of culture, and the tensions and challenges inherent in develop-ing
a new identity.
This is a study of students who came from the margins and, in a very
short time, moved toward the mainstream. In the micro view, it provides
extraordinarily useful case studies of a successful intervention program in
process. In the larger scope, it is a look at the socially constructed nature of
possibility, hope, and success.
Reynaldo Reyes is an associate professor of teacher education in the College
of Education at the University of Texas at El Paso.
“This is a major contribution to the field of educational ethnography
and Latino studies. Since the book focuses on young people who
move from ‘at risk’ to success, it offers the rare opportunity to
examine the lives of those who transcend struggle to attain positive
outcomes.” —Julio Cammarota, author of Sueños Americanos:

“This book presents rich data that will further the study of non-traditional
Latina/o college students. The Communities of Practice
theoretical framework used is important and intersects well with

Communities of Practice
An Alaskan Native Model
for Language Teaching and Learning
Edited by Patrick E. Marlow and Sabine Siekmann
Educators, scholars, and community activists recognize that immersion
education is a key means to restoring Indigenous and other heritage
languages. But language maintenance and revitalization involve many
complex issues, foremost may be the lack of local professional development
opportunities for potential language teachers.
In Alaska, the Second Language Acquisition Teacher Education
(SLATE) project was designed to enable Indigenous communities and
schools to improve the quality of native-language and English-language
instruction and assessment by focusing on the elimination of barriers that
have historically hindered degree completion for Indigenous and rural
teachers. The Guided Research Collaborative (GRC) model was employed
to support the development of communities of practice through near-peer
mentoring and mutual scaffolding. Through this important new model,
teachers of both the heritage language, in this case Central Yup’ik, and
English were able to situate their professional development into a larger
global context based on current notions of multilingualism.
In Communities of Practice contributors show how the SLATE program
was developed and implemented, providing an important model for improv-ing
second-language instruction and assessment. Through an in-depth
analysis of the program, contributors show how this project can be success-fully
adapted in other communities via its commitment to local control in
language programming and a model based on community-driven research.
Communities of Practice demonstrates how an initial cohort of Yup’ik-and
English-language teachers collaborated to negotiate and ultimately
complete the SLATE program. In so doing, these educators enhanced the
program and their own effectiveness as teachers through a greater under-standing
of language learning. It is these understandings that will ultimately
allow heritage- and English-language teachers to work together to foster
their students’ success in any language.
Patrick E. Marlow is an associate professor of linguistics at the Alaska Native
Language Center and the School of Education at the University of Alaska
Fairbanks. Sabine Siekmann is an associate professor in the Linguistics
Program and the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures at the
University of Alaska Fairbanks.
“For both faculty and students the project culminated in a deeper
understanding and an appreciation of the sophistication and power
of Indigenous knowledge as a tool for teaching and for transforming
education in local classrooms and at the university level.”

Voices of Play
Miskitu Children’s Speech and Song on
the Atlantic Coast of Nicaragua
Amanda Minks
While indigenous languages have become prominent in global
political and educational discourses, limited attention has been given to
indigenous children’s everyday communication. Voices of Play is a study of
multilingual play and performance among Miskitu children growing up on
Corn Island, part of a multi-ethnic autonomous region on the Atlantic Coast
of Nicaragua.
Corn Island is historically home to Afro-Caribbean Creole people,
but increasing numbers of Miskitu people began moving there from the
mainland during the Contra War, and many Spanish-speaking mestizos
from western Nicaragua have also settled there. Miskitu kids on Corn Island
often gain some competence speaking Miskitu, Spanish, and Kriol English.
As the children of migrants and the first generation of their families to grow
up with television, they develop creative forms of expression that combine
languages and genres, shaping intercultural senses of belonging.
Voices of Play is the first ethnography to focus on the interaction
between music and language in children’s discourse. Minks skillfully weaves
together Latin American, North American, and European theories of culture
and communication, creating a transdisciplinary dialogue that moves across
intellectual geographies. Her analysis shows how music and language involve
a wide range of communicative resources that create new forms of belong-ing
and enable dialogue across differences. Miskitu children’s voices reveal
the intertwining of speech and song, the emergence of “self” and “other,”
and the centrality of aesthetics to social struggle.
Amanda Minks is an assistant professor of anthropology in the University of
Oklahoma Honors College.
“Subtly nuanced, theoretically sophisticated, and delightfully
accessible, this vibrant ethnographic study of Miskitu children’s
imaginative, multilingual, and intercultural play opens up exciting
new perspectives on how indigenous identities persist and change
in a globalizing world.”—Jane Freeland, co-editor of Language

At the Border of Empires
The Tohono O’odham, Gender, and
Assimilation, 1880–1934
Andrae M. Marak and Laura Tuennerman
The story of the Tohono O’odham peoples offers an important account
of assimilation. Bifurcated by a border demarcating Mexico and the United
States that was imposed on them after the Gadsden Purchase in 1853, the
Tohono O’odham lived at the edge of two empires. Although they were
often invisible to the majority cultures of the region, they attracted the at-tention
of reformers and government officials in the United States, who were
determined to “assimilate” native peoples into “American society.” By focus-ing
on gender norms and ideals in the assimilation of the Tohono O’odham,
At the Border of Empires provides a lens for looking at both Native American
history and broader societal ideas about femininity, masculinity, and empire
around the turn of the twentieth century.
Beginning in the 1880s, the US government implemented programs to
eliminate “vice” among the Tohono O’odham and to encourage the morals
of the majority culture as the basis of a process of “Americanization.” During
the next fifty years, tribal norms interacted with—sometimes conflicting
with and sometimes reinforcing—those of the larger society in ways that
significantly shaped both government policy and tribal experience. This
book examines the mediation between cultures, the officials who sometimes
developed policies based on personal beliefs and gender biases, and the na-tive
people whose lives were impacted as a result. These issues are brought
into useful relief by comparing the experiences of the Tohono O’odham on
two sides of a border that was, from a native perspective, totally arbitrary.
Andrae M. Marak is a chair of humanities and social sciences and a
professor of history and political science at Governors State University.
He is the co-editor (with Elaine Carey) of Smugglers, Brothels, and Twine:
Historical Perspectives on Contraband and Vice in North America’s Borderlands.
Laura Tuennerman is Chair of the Department of History and Political
Science, and a professor of history at California University of Pennsylvania.
She is the author of Helping Others, Helping Ourselves.
“The archival research and the chapter on Mexico are especially
welcome since few works have examined the Tohono O’odham living
on both sides of the border. The book also offers excellent insights
into the role that gender played in the United States’ assimilation
policy and indigenous responses do it.”— Eric Meeks, author of
Border Citizens: The Making of Indians, Mexicans, and Anglos in
Arizona
“Marak and Tuennerman focus on the gendered dimensions of
eforts to assimilate the Tohono O’odham, a nation of people
that have lived in what we now call the borderlands for over a
millennium.”—Jefrey Shepherd, author of We Are an Indian Nation:

From Enron to Evo
Pipeline Politics, Global
Environmentalism, and Indigenous
Rights in Bolivia
Derick Hindery
Foreword by Susanna B. Hecht
Throughout the Americas, a boom in oil, gas, and mining development
has pushed the extractive frontier deeper into indigenous territories.
Centering on a long-term study of Enron and Shell’s Cuiabá pipeline, From
Enron to Evo traces the struggles of Bolivia’s indigenous peoples for self-determination
over their lives and territories. In his analysis of their response
to this encroaching development, author Derrick Hindery also sheds light
on surprising similarities between neoliberal reform and the policies of the
nation’s first indigenous president, Evo Morales.
Drawing upon extensive interviews and document analysis, Hindery
argues that many of the structural conditions created by neoliberal policies—
including partial privatization of the oil and gas sector—still persist under
Morales. Tactics employed by both Morales and his neoliberal predecessors
utilize the rhetoric of environmental protection and indigenous rights to
justify oil, gas, mining, and road development in indigenous territories and
sensitive ecoregions.
Indigenous peoples, while mindful of gains made during Morales’s
tenure, are increasingly dissatisfied with the administration’s development
model, particularly when it infringes upon their right to self-determination.
From Enron to Evo demonstrates their dynamic and pragmatic strategies to
cope with development and adversity, while also advancing their own aims.
Offering a critique of both free-market piracy and the dilemmas of
resource nationalism, this is a groundbreaking book for scholars, policy-makers,
and advocates concerned with indigenous politics, social move-ments,
environmental justice, and resistance in an era of expanding resource
development.
Derrick Hindery is an assistant professor of international studies and
geography at the University of Oregon.
“Derrick Hindery has followed the Cuiabá pipeline for many years
and many miles. Along the way he has excavated its complicated
history and explored how the pipeline embodies the contradictions
and chicaneries of Bolivian neoliberalism, as well as the tensions
of Bolivian post-neoliberalism. This book brings together those
years of work in a compelling ‘must-read’ for scholars of Latin
America, energy and neoliberal governance.”—Anthony Bebbington,

Land Grab
Green Neoliberalism, Gender, and
Garifuna Resistance in Honduras
Keri Vacanti Brondo
Land Grab is a rich ethnographic account of the relationship between
identity politics, neoliberal development policy, and rights to resource
management in Garifuna communities on the north coast of Honduras,
before and after the 2009 coup d’état. The Garifuna are a people of African
and Amerindian descent who were exiled to Honduras from the British
colony of St. Vincent in 1797 and have long suffered from racial and cultural
marginalization.
Employing approaches from feminist political ecology, critical race
studies, and ethnic studies, Keri Vacanti Brondo illuminates three contem-porary
development paradoxes in Honduras: the recognition of the rights of
indigenous people at the same time as Garifuna are being displaced in the
name of development; the privileging of foreign research tourists in projects
that promote ecotourism but result in restricting Garifuna from traditional
livelihoods; and the contradictions in Garifuna land-rights claims based
on native status when mestizos are reserving rights to resources as natives
themselves.
Brondo’s book asks a larger question: can “freedom,” understood as
well-being, be achieved under the structures of neoliberalism? Grounding
this question in the context of Garifuna relationships to territorial control
and self-determination, the author explores the “reregulation” of Garifuna

and “voluntourism;” the significant issue of who controls access to property

The Affinity of the Eye
Writing Nikkei in Peru
Ignacio López-Calvo
Foreword by Fernando Iwasaki
In The Affinity of the Eye: Writing Nikkei in Peru, Ignacio López-Calvo
rises above the political emergence of the Fujimori phenomenon and uses
politics and literature to provide one of the first comprehensive looks at
how the Japanese assimilated and inserted themselves into Peruvian culture.
Through contemporary writers’ testimonies, essays, fiction, and poetry,
López-Calvo constructs an account of the cultural formation of Japanese
migrant communities. With deftly sensitive interviews and comments, he
portrays the difficulties of being a Japanese Peruvian. Despite a few notable
examples, Asian Peruvians have been excluded from a sense of belonging or
national identity in Peru, which provides López-Calvo with the opportunity
to record what the community says about their own cultural production.
In so doing, López-Calvo challenges fixed notions of Japanese Peruvian
identity.
The Affinity of the Eye scrutinizes authors such as José Watanabe,
Fernando Iwasaki, Augusto Higa, Doris Moromisato, and Carlos Yushimito,
discussing their literature and their connections to the past, present, and
future. Whether these authors push against or accept what it means to be
Japanese Peruvians, they enrich the images and feelings of that experience.
Through a close reading of literary and cultural productions, López-Calvo’s
analysis challenges and reframes the parameters of being Nikkei in Peru.
Covering both Japanese issues in Peru and Peruvian issues in Japan, the
book is more than a compendium of stories, characters, and titles. It proves
the fluid, enriching, and ongoing relationship that exists between Peru and
Japan.
Ignacio López-Calvo is a professor of Latin American literature at the
University of California, Merced. He is the author of five books on Latin
American and US Latino literature and culture, including Latino Los Angeles
in Film and Fiction: The Cultural Production of Social Anxiety (also published
by the University of Arizona Press).
“This book is a necessity. The writers that López-Calvo presents
offer an amplifying view of what it means to be Peruvian.”— Debbie
Lee-DiStefano, author of Three Asian-Hispanic Writers from Peru:
Doris Moromisato, José Watanabe, Siu Kam Wen
“This is an important book. As far as I know, no other study
has addressed the subject of Peruvian Nikkei writers so
comprehensively.”— Blake S. Locklin, a contributor to Orientalism
and Identity in Latin America

Orientalism and Identity in
Latin America
Fashioning Self and Other
from the (Post)Colonial Margin
Edited by Erik Camayd-Freixas
Building on the pioneering work of Edward Said in fresh and useful ways,
contributors to this volume consider both historical contacts and literary
influences in the formation of Latin American constructs of the “Orient”
and the “Self” from colonial times to the present. In the process, they unveil
wide-ranging manifestations of Orientalism. Contributors scrutinize the
“other” great encounter, not with Europeans but with Arabic, Chinese, and
Japanese cultures, as they marked Latin American societies from Mexico,
Central America, and the Caribbean to Peru, Argentina, and Brazil. The
perspectives, experiences, and theories presented in these examples offer a
comprehensive framework for understanding wide-ranging manifestations of
Orientalism in Latin America and elsewhere in the developing world.
Orientalism and Identity in Latin America expands current theoretical
frameworks, juxtaposing historical, biographical, and literary depictions of
Middle Eastern and Asian migrations, both of people and cultural elements,
as they have been received, perceived, refashioned, and integrated into
Latin American discourses of identity and difference. Underlying this
intercultural dialogue is the hypothesis that the discourse of Orientalism and
the process of Orientalization apply equally to Near Eastern and Far Eastern
subjects as well as to immigrants, regardless of provenance—and indeed to
any individual or group who might be construed as “Other” by a particular
dominant culture.
Erik Camayd-Freixas is Professor of Hispanic Studies and Director
of Graduate Studies at Florida International University. He is the author of
several books and co-edited the seminal Primitivism and Identity in Latin
America.
“In its historical and geographical scope and in its theoretical
sophistication, this is a major contribution to the burgeoning
study of orientalism in Latin America and to the ever more urgent
discussion of issues of multicultural identity in the region.” —Juan E.
De Castro, author of Mestizo Nations: Culture, Race, and Conformity
in Latin American Literature

and racial scope.”—Robert Chao Romero, author of The Chinese in

Indigenous Agency
in the Amazon
The Mojos in Liberal and Rubber-Boom
Bolivia, 1842–1932
Gary Van Valen
The largest group of indigenous people in the Bolivian Amazon, the
Mojos, has coexisted with non-Natives since the late 1600s, when they
accepted Jesuit missionaries into their homeland, converted to Catholicism,
and adapted their traditional lifestyle to the conventions of mission life.
Nearly two hundred years later they faced two new challenges: liberalism
and the rubber boom. White authorities promoted liberalism as a way of
modernizing the region and ordered the dismantling of much of the social
structure of the missions. The rubber boom created a demand for labor,
which took the Mojos away from their savanna towns and into the northern
rain forests.
Gary Van Valen postulates that as ex-mission Indians who lived on a
frontier, the Mojos had an expanded capacity to adapt that helped them
meet these challenges. Their frontier life provided them with the space and
mind-set to move their agricultural plots and cattle herds, join independent
indigenous groups, or move to Brazil. Their mission history gave them the
experience they needed to participate in the rubber export economy and
the politics of white society. Van Valen argues that the indigenous Mojos
also learned how to manipulate liberal discourse to their advantage. He
demonstrates that the Mojos were able to survive the rubber boom, claim
the right of equality promised by the liberal state, and preserve important
elements of the culture they inherited from the missions.
Gary Van Valen is an associate professor of history at the University of
West Georgia.
“Van Valen explores the Bolivian Amazon, a region that has
consistently received little attention from historians. Furthermore,
it adds to our knowledge of frontier regions; a new and growing
trend in Latin American history.”—Bridget Chesterton, Bufalo State
College
“Van Valen bolsters his points with a sophisticated selection of
secondary sources to situate the Mojos and their struggles within
broader trends in the historiography of Bolivia and Latin America at
large. He is clearly an authority on the ethnohistory of Amazonia-subtropical
Bolivia.”—Javier F. Marion, associate professor of history
at Emmanuel College

Crafting History
in the Northern Plains
A Political Economy of the Heart River
Region, 1400–1750
Mark D. Mitchell
The histories of post-1500 American Indian and First Nations societies
reflect a dynamic interplay of forces. Europeans introduced new technolo-gies,
new economic systems, and new social forms, but those novelties
were appropriated, resisted, modified, or ignored according to indigenous
meanings, relationships, and practices that originated long before Europeans
came to the Americas. A comprehensive understanding of the changes
colonialism wrought must therefore be rooted in trans-Columbian native
histories that span the centuries before and after the advent of the colonists.
In Crafting History in the Northern Plains Mark D. Mitchell illustrates
the crucial role archaeological methods and archaeological data can play
in producing trans-Columbian histories. Combining an in-depth analysis of
the organization of stone tool and pottery production with ethnographic
and historical data, Mitchell synthesizes the social and economic histories of
the native communities located at the confluence of the Heart and Missouri
rivers, home for more than five centuries to the Mandan people.
Mitchell is the first researcher to examine the impact of Mandan history
on the developing colonial economy of the Northern Plains. In Crafting
History in the Northern Plains, he demonstrates the special importance of
native history in the 1400s and 1500s to the course of European coloniza-tion.
Mark D. Mitchell is Research Director for Paleocultural Research Group, a
nonprofit organization devoted to archaeological research in the Great Plains
and southern Rocky Mountains. He is the co-editor of Across a Great Divide:
Change and Continuity in Native North America Societies, 1400–1900.
“Only through the efforts of researchers who dedicate their careers to
elucidating the artifacts, features, and sites that survive from ancient
and not-so-ancient times do we gain an appreciation for the nuances
of human activity.”—Eldon Yellowhorn, co-author of First Peoples in
Canada
“Mitchell’s work demonstrates sensitivity to his data while
maintaining a commitment to post-colonial theory to represent
the very best of the current trend in North American archaeology.”

Native and Spanish
New Worlds
Sixteenth-Century Entradas in the
American Southwest and Southeast
Edited by Clay Mathers, Jefrey M. Mitchem, and
Charles M. Haecker
Spanish-led entradas—expeditions bent on the exploration and control
of new territories—took place throughout the sixteenth century in what is
now the southern United States. Although their impact was profound, both
locally and globally, detailed analyses of these encounters are notably scarce.
Focusing on several major themes—social, economic, political, military,
environmental, and demographic—the contributions gathered here explore
not only the cultures and peoples involved in these unique engagements but
also the wider connections and disparities between these borderlands and
the colonial world in general during the first century of Native–European
contact in North America. Bringing together research from both the
southwestern and southeastern United States, this book offers a comparative
synthesis of Native–European contacts and their consequences in both
regions. The chapters also engage at different scales of analysis, from locally
based research to macro-level evaluations, using documentary, paleocli-matic,
and regional archaeological data.
No other volume assembles such a wide variety of archaeological,
ethnohistorical, environmental, and biological information to elucidate the
experience of Natives and Europeans in the early colonial world of Northern
New Spain, and the global implications of entradas during this formative
period in borderlands history.

Neandertal Lithic Industries
at La Quina
Arthur J. Jelinek
Although Neandertals lived in Europe and western Asia for more
than 200,000 years, we know surprisingly little about them or about their
everyday lives. Evidence of their behavior is largely derived from the
surviving pieces of chipped stone and animal bone that resulted from their
activities. One of the largest concentrations of stone and bone artifacts
left by Neandertals was at the famous archaeological site of La Quina in
southwestern France.
This study of the significance of changes through time revealed by
an analysis of the chipped stone at La Quina reports on the excavations
of the Cooperative American–French Excavation Project from 1985 to
1994. It moves beyond the largely descriptive and subjective approaches
that have traditionally been applied to this kind of evidence and applies
several important quantitative analytical techniques. These new approaches
incorporate the history of previous excavations at the site, the results of the
work of the Cooperative Project, and the most recent scientific understand-ing
of relevant climatic changes.
This is a major contribution to our understanding of Neandertal behavior
and industry. It adds new dimensions and perspectives based on innovative
techniques of analysis. The analytic methods applied to lithic artifacts that
form the heart of the book are the product of considerations about how
to best interpret a sequence of multiple contextual samples. The author
concludes the book with an extraordinarily useful chapter that places his
findings into the larger context of our contemporary knowledge of Neander-tal
life in the region.
The book comes with a compact disc, which includes coded observa-tions
used in the analysis in as many as 47 data fields for the more than
11,500 artifacts that will allow professionals and students to further explore
the collection of lithic artifacts.

When Worlds Collide
Hunter-Gatherer World-System
Change in the 19th Century Canadian
Arctic
T. Max Friesen
Interactions between societies are among the most powerful forces
in human history. However, because they are difficult to reconstruct from
archaeological data, they have often been overlooked and understudied by
archaeologists. This is particularly true for hunter-gatherer societies, which
are frequently seen as adapting to local conditions rather than developing
in the context of large-scale networks. When Worlds Collide presents a
new model for discerning interaction networks based on the archaeological
record, and then applies the model to long-term change in an Arctic society.
Max Friesen has adapted and expanded world-system theory in order
to develop a model that explains how hunter-gatherer interaction networks,
or world-systems, are structured—and why they change. He has utilized this
model to better understand the development of Inuvialuit society in the
western Canadian Arctic over a 500-year span, from the pre-contact period
to the early twentieth century.
As Friesen combines local archaeological data with more extensive
ethnographic and archaeological evidence from the surrounding region,
a picture emerges of a dynamic Inuvialuit world-system characterized by
bounded territories, trade, warfare, and other forms of interaction. This
world-system gradually intensified as the impacts of Euroamerican colonial
activities increased. This intensification, Friesen suggests, was based on
pre-existing Inuvialuit social and economic structures rather than on patterns
imposed from outside. Ultimately, this intense interacting network collapsed
near the end of the nineteenth century. When Worlds Collide offers a new
way to comprehend small-scale world-systems from the point of view of
indigenous people. Its approach will prove valuable for understanding
hunter-gatherer societies around the globe.
T. Max Friesen is a professor of archaeology in the Department of
Anthropology at the University of Toronto. He has performed fieldwork in the
Arctic for more than twenty years. He is the co-editor of the Oxford Hand-book
of Arctic Archaeology and has contributed widely to books and journals.
“Friesen presents an important and powerful demonstration of
an archaeological scientific hypothesis-testing methodology, and
he provides an excellent example of a problem-oriented approach
to archaeological practice. It should receive attention beyond the
confines of its regional content precisely for its rigorous theoretical
approach.” —Stephen Loring, co-editor of Honoring Our Elders: A

Sociocultural Dynamics and Projectile
Point Design in the Phoenix Basin,

Chris Loendorf
This new volume in the Gila River Indian Community Anthropological
Research Papers series by Chris Loendorf of the GRIC Cultural Resource
Management Program builds upon a previous publication in the series that
described the more than 1,000 projectile points that were recovered during
a survey of the community. This study employs flaked-stone data to address
a wide range of archaeological research issues including settlement patterns,
warfare, subsistence practices, and socioeconomic interactions during the
Hohokam Classic period (ca. AD 1150–1500) and Akimel O’odham Historic
period (ca. AD 1500–1900). Multiple lines of evidence for continuity
between the Pre-Historic and Historic periods are presented in this book.
The research supports the contention that the Akimel O’odham are the
direct cultural descendants of the Hohokam inhabitants of much of Pre-
Historic southern Arizona.
