Dogs On The Frontier: Human-Canine Relationships In Central Kentucky, 1770-1792, Andrew P. Patrick
Dogs On The Frontier: Human-Canine Relationships In Central Kentucky, 1770-1792, Andrew P. Patrick
Andrew P Patrick
Dogs played utilitarian roles, as hunting partners, sentries and trackers that provided assistance in the difficult physical landscape, but they also filled setters’ less obvious, psychological needs by serving as companions or by helping humans assert their dominance over the threats posed by the natural world.

Wasting Paradise: The Destruction Of The Bison On The Kentucky Frontier, Andrew P. Patrick

Indigenismo From Below? Carlos Castaneda, New Age Anthropology And Identity Politics, Ageeth Sluis
Indigenismo From Below? Carlos Castaneda, New Age Anthropology And Identity Politics, Ageeth Sluis
Ageeth Sluis
This paper explores the intersections between Carlos Castaneda’s work on shamanism, indigenismo, and larger changes within the field of anthropology from the 1960s to 1980s. Castaneda introduced a large readership to Mexico at a time when the Americas saw pronounced socio-political and cultural changes. Despite criticism by fellow anthropologists, Castaneda's bestselling books became instrumental in constructing new indigenous identities, a magical Mexico, and new directions in anthropology. This paper seeks to understand Castaneda within a larger historical context of the historical trajectories of indigenismo and changes in gender and race identity politics both in Mexico and the U.S. due to …
Before There Was Bluegrass: Central Kentucky Prior To European Settlement, Andrew P. Patrick
Before There Was Bluegrass: Central Kentucky Prior To European Settlement, Andrew P. Patrick
Andrew P Patrick
By drawing on scientific, archaeological and historical sources, this study aims to trace the dramatic changes in the landscape that occurred before American settlers arrived to create an “agroecosystem” geared toward sustaining and enriching a growing populace. What emerges is a new periodization of central Kentucky’s ecological history. The landscape was not a static background factor passively awaiting European arrival; instead it underwent multiple transformations due to the changing interactions of human and natural influences.
Built On Black Backs: Inner Bluegrass Agriculture, 1850-1878, Andrew P. Patrick
Built On Black Backs: Inner Bluegrass Agriculture, 1850-1878, Andrew P. Patrick
Andrew P Patrick
This study supports and builds on historical literature on antebellum agriculture in the Inner Bluegrass by providing a greater emphasis on the central role played by black slaves. It goes further to examine the transition from a slave to a free society and the choices made by emancipated African Americans in the early years of this transition. The overall conclusion, that African Americans were central to Inner Bluegrass agriculture, through their labor and their choices, applies equally to the antebellum and postbellum eras.

Projecting Pornography, Enacting (In)Equality, And Mexican Modernity, Ageeth Sluis
Ageeth Sluis
If pornography proves a problematic avenue within women’s bid for sexual liberation and equality today, how then has this historically been constructed? In an attempt to determine the role of pornography within articulations of women’s sexual (in)equality, I use a banned pornographic magazine published in 1930s Mexico as the starting point for a broader examination of the relationships between female sexual visibility and modernity, and sexual normativity and the state. Employing the Foucaultian methodology of genealogy, I trace popular representations of female sexuality as well as civic discourse on sexual prohibitions through space (from the USA and Europe to Mexico) …

Actions Speak Louder Than Words - Nixon's Effect On School Desegregation, Demetri L. Morgan
Actions Speak Louder Than Words - Nixon's Effect On School Desegregation, Demetri L. Morgan
Demetri L. Morgan, Ph.D.
A review of Preisdent Richard Nixon’s deeds rather than his rhetoric or policy stances, illuminates a previously under investigated reality that Nixon’s education civil rights record has been the most progressive and beneficial for the education of students of color to date. How can this be? As this presentation will outline, Nixon’s rhetoric and stances on education were symbolic measures to appease both the ‘silent majority’ and conservative southern democrats, which Nixon identified as vital to his election aspirations in the 1968 presidential campaign. This political ploy eventually collided with Nixon’s efforts to acquiesce to his campaign mantra and governing …
