She describes the Cold War context in which these women functioned and the ways in which women saw communism as a very real danger to domestic security and American families. Millions of women, Brennan notes, expanded their notions of household responsibilities to include the crusade against communism. From writing letters and hosting teas to publishing books and running for political office, they campaigned against communism and, incidentally, discovered the power they had to effect change through activism.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Brennan reveals how the w...

Individual essays consider myriad topics such as Thanksgiving turkeys, rockabilly and bar fights, Chinese tales of female ghosts, selkie stories, a noisy Mennonite New Year’s celebration, the Distaff Gospels, Kentucky tobacco farmers, international adoptions, and more.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Unsettling Assumptions＜/em＞, folkloric forms express but also counteract negative aspects of culture like misogyny, homophobia, and racism.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】＜p＞The Valley of Oaxaca was unified under the rule of Monte Alb?n until its collapse around AD 800. Using findings from John Paddock’s long-term excavations at Lambityeco from 1961 to 1976, Michael Lind and Javier Urcid examine the political and social organization of the ancient community during the Xoo Phase (Late Classic period).Focusing on change within this single archaeological period rather than between time periods, ＜em＞The Lords of Lambityeco＜/em＞ traces the changing political relationships between Lambityeco and Monte Alb?n that led to the fall of the Zapotec state. Using detailed analysis of elite and common houses, tombs, and associated artifacts, the authors demonstrate increased political control by Monte Alb?n over Lambityeco prior to the abandonment of both settlements. Lambityeco is the most thoroughly researched Classic period site in the valley after Monte Alb?n, but only a small number of summary arti...

Taking a holistic approach and studying both colonist and indigenous perspectives through archaeological, ethnohistoric, historic, and landscape data, contributors examine how the processes of colonialism played out in the American Southwest.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Although these broad areasーNew Mexico and southern Arizona/northern Sonoraーshare a similar early colonial history, the particular combination of players, sociohistorical trajectories, and social relations within each area led to, and were transformed by, markedly diverse colonial encounters.

Rarely acknowledged in studies of resistance to colonial rule, these writings challenged colonial hierarchies and ethnic discrimination in attempts to redefine the Andean role in colonial society.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Scholars have long assumed that Spanish rule remained largely undisputed in Peru between the 1570s and 1780s, but educated elite Indians and mestizos challenged the legitimacy of Spanish rule, criticized colonial injustice and exclusion, and articulated the ideas that would later be embraced in the Great Rebellion in 1781.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】＜p＞Transference of orientalist images and identities to the American landscape and its inhabitants, especially in the Westーin other words, portrayal of the West as the “Orient”ーhas been a common aspect of American cultural history. Place names, such as the Jordan River or Pyramid Lake, offer notable examples, but the imagery and its varied meanings are more widespread and significant. Understanding that range and significance, especially to the western part of the continent, means coming to terms with the complicated, nuanced ideas of the Orient and of the North American continent that European Americans brought to the West. Such complexity is what historical geographer Richard Francaviglia unravels in this book.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Since the publication of Edward Said’s book, ＜em＞Orientalism,＜/em＞ the term has come to signify something one-dimensionally negative.

The volume provides nine case studies that explore different ways in which place is mediated by social, political, and ecological processes that have deep historical roots and that continue to affect the politics of heritage management.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Spaces of human habitation are both historical records of the past and key elements in reproducing the knowledge and values that define lives in the present.

Wildlife species, ecosystems, and Native cultures suffered, sometimes irreparably. Damage to wildlife and lands drew the attention of environmentalists, including John Muir, who applied their influence to enact wildlife protection laws and set aside lands for conservation. Alaska served as a testing ground for emergent national resource policy in the United States, as environmental values of species and ecosystem sustainability replaced the unrestrained exploitation of Alaska's early frontier ...

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】＜p＞＜em＞Ancient Maya Commerce＜/em＞ presents nearly two decades of multidisciplinary research at Chunchucmil, Yucatan, Mexicoーa thriving Classic period Maya center organized around commercial exchange rather than agriculture. An urban center without a king and unable to sustain agrarian independence, Chunchucmil is a rare example of a Maya city in which economics, not political rituals, served as the engine of growth. Trade was the raison d’?tre of the city itself.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Using a variety of evidenceーarchaeological, botanical, geomorphological, and soil-basedーcontributors show how the city was a major center for both short- and long-distance trade, integrating the Guatemalan highlands, the Gulf of Mexico, and the interior of the northern Maya lowlands. By placing Chunchucmil into the broader context of emerging research at other Maya cities, the book reorients the understanding of ancient Maya economies. The book is acc...

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】＜p＞The Great Plains has been central to academic and popular visions of Native American warfare, largely because the region’s well-documented violence was so central to the expansion of Euroamerican settlement. However, social violence has deep roots on the Plains beyond this post-Contact perception, and these roots have not been systematically examined through archaeology before. War was part, and perhaps an important part, of the process of ethnogenesis that helped to define tribal societies in the region, and it affected many other aspects of human lives there. In ＜em＞Archaeological Perspectives on Warfare on the Great Plains＜/em＞, anthropologists who study sites across the Plains critically examine regional themes of warfare from pre-Contact and post-Contact periods and assess how war shaped human societies of the region.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Contributors to this volume offera bird’s-eye view of warfare on the Great Plains, c...

In the revealing juxtaposition of these two cases author Steven Sabol elucidates previously unexplored connections between the state building and colonizing projects these powers pursued in the nineteenth century.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This critical examination of internal colonizationーa form of contiguous continental expansion, imperialism, and colonialism that incorporated indigenous lands and peoplesーdraws a corollary between the westward-moving American pioneer and the eastward-moving Russian peasant.
