[Review Of] Raymond 1. Demallie And Douglas R. Parks. Eds. Sioux Indian Religion: Tradition And Innovation, David M. Gradwohl Jan 1992

[Review Of] Raymond 1. Demallie And Douglas R. Parks. Eds. Sioux Indian Religion: Tradition And Innovation, David M. Gradwohl

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Most of the papers included in this anthology were presented in Bismarck in 1982 at a conference entitled "American Indian Religion in the Dakotas: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives." The conference was funded by the North Dakota Humanities Council and brought together a wide array of academicians and lay people representing different and sometimes conflicting experiential and philosophical points of view.


[Review Of] Roy Harvey Pearce. Savagism And Civilization: A Study Of The Indian And The American Mind. Rev. Ed. Of The Savages Of America, D. C. Cole Jan 1992

[Review Of] Roy Harvey Pearce. Savagism And Civilization: A Study Of The Indian And The American Mind. Rev. Ed. Of The Savages Of America, D. C. Cole

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

This classic volume on the image of the Indian in the American mind first appeared in 1953. Although both limited and incomplete, Pearce's work compelled a virtual revolution in literary and historical approaches to analysis of public view concerning the role of Indians in the American past.


[Review Of] Susheila Nasta, Ed. Motherlands: Black Women's Writing From Africa, The Caribbean And South Asia, Opal Palmer Adisa Jan 1992

[Review Of] Susheila Nasta, Ed. Motherlands: Black Women's Writing From Africa, The Caribbean And South Asia, Opal Palmer Adisa

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

In recent years writings by black women outside of the US have gained acceptance, and many such works have been included in syllabi. Motherlands provides critical, comparative analyses of several important black women (Asian women are included in this category) writing throughout the world, and as such, sets a precedent as it is probably the first such collection. Divided into three sections, Mothers/Daughters/Mother(land), the essays examine writers who have become icons, Bessie Head, Jean Rhys, Flora Nwapa, Buchi Emecheta, Nawal el Sa' adawi, Michelle Cliff, Joan Riley, Lorna Goodison, and Nayantara Sahgal. Some of the essays, however, explore use of …


[Review Of] St. Clair Drake. Black Folk Here And There , Vol. I, Bamidele J. Bracy, Jean E. Daniels Jan 1992

[Review Of] St. Clair Drake. Black Folk Here And There , Vol. I, Bamidele J. Bracy, Jean E. Daniels

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

St. Clair Drake, the recently deceased anthropologist, has written an elaborate "summary essay" on the black experience as it relates to the continent of Africa. In his latter years at Stanford University, Drake was head of the University's Black Studies program. It appears obvious that Drake's consciousness was raised during this particular time span. The research and writing of this book is far different from his seminal work with Clayton (Black Metropolis, 1945). In his "emeritus" years, Drake decided to seek the high ground of an historical anthropological-philosopher and address certain issues that W.E.B. DuBois considered paramount to the study …

An Art-Historical Paradigm For Investigating Native American Pictographs Of The Lower Pecos Region, Texas, John Antoine Labadie Jan 1992

An Art-Historical Paradigm For Investigating Native American Pictographs Of The Lower Pecos Region, Texas, John Antoine Labadie

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

In the shadows of deep canyons in Southwest Texas and Northern Mexico, where the Pecos, Devils, and Rio Grande flow, are thousands of paintings on the walls of hundreds of rockshelters and overhangs. Archaeologists term such works "pictographic rock art." These particular pictographs were created over many centuries by Native American groups known collectively today as the Lower Pecos Region cultures.


[Review Of] Rosalio Moises, Jane Holden Kelley, And William Curry Holden. A Yaqui Life: The Personal Chronicle Of A Yaqui Indian, Raymond A. Bucko Jan 1992

[Review Of] Rosalio Moises, Jane Holden Kelley, And William Curry Holden. A Yaqui Life: The Personal Chronicle Of A Yaqui Indian, Raymond A. Bucko

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

The search for an "untouched" Native voice in American Indian autobiography, both experientially and stylistically, has proven as elusive as the search for the "untouched" Native. In the case of A Yaqui Life, it is precisely the of the native author's interaction-personal, literary, military, economic, religious, and familial-that makes the work both fascinating and significant. So, too, the text as a product of the interactions between the various authors enhances its ethnographic and historic significance. In 1954, at the suggestion of the anthropologist W. C. Holden, the core of the work was penned by Rosalio Moises, a Yaqui who lived …


[Review Of] Douglas Monroy. Thrown Among Strangers: The Making Of Mexican Culture In Frontier California, Carlos F. Ortega Jan 1992

[Review Of] Douglas Monroy. Thrown Among Strangers: The Making Of Mexican Culture In Frontier California, Carlos F. Ortega

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

As one drives through the state of California, the legacy of Indian, Spanish, and Mexican cultures is obvious everywhere. In school, children learn how this land fell into the hands of the Spanish Crown with its mission system starting to bring Christianity to the Indians, how California became Mexican via the independence movement, and finally in the nineteenth century, how the United States came to control California. Yet little is known or understood about what the transfer of power meant or how it occurred.


[Review Of] Elsie Clews Parsons. American Indian Life, Laurie Lisa Jan 1992

[Review Of] Elsie Clews Parsons. American Indian Life, Laurie Lisa

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

In Joan Mark's introduction to the Bison edition of this classic work, she offers a good analysis of the impact of these twenty-seven fictional stories written by anthropologists and first published in 1922. Anthropology's radical change in methodology at the turn of the century -- of which Parsons and Franz Boas (twenty of these stories can be identified with Boasian anthropology) were noticeable figures in the transformation -- led Parsons to attempt to tackle the problem of the relation of the individual to the culture. Consequently, she asked her fellow anthropologists to write fictions about Native Americans in which they …


[Review Of] Jack Weatherford. Native Roots: How The Indians Enriched America, David M. Gradwohl Jan 1992

[Review Of] Jack Weatherford. Native Roots: How The Indians Enriched America, David M. Gradwohl

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

This volume and Weatherford's penultimate book (Indian Givers: How the Indians of the Americas Transformed the World, New York: Fawcett Columbine, 1988) discuss in detail the contributions of Native American populations to the Old World and to the culture of the invaders who ultimately conquered the New World. Both books are timely in terms of the current hoopla concerning the quincentennial of Christopher Columbus's arrival on Caribbean shores. They both put the lie to the idea that acculturation is a one-way street. Native Roots additionally indicates the tenacity of many American Indian traditions in surviving centuries of attempts at forced …


[Review Of] Vernon J. Williams. From A Caste To A Minority: Changing Attitudes Of American Sociologists Towards Afro-Americans, Cary D. Wintz Jan 1992

[Review Of] Vernon J. Williams. From A Caste To A Minority: Changing Attitudes Of American Sociologists Towards Afro-Americans, Cary D. Wintz

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Attitudes towards specific racial minorities have been central to the history of the United States. These attitudes have influenced the development of social and cultural institutions, they have determined the structure of our communities, and they have affected our laws and our politics. Given the centrality of race in American culture, it is surprising that until the second half of the twentieth century there was little effort to examine systematically the role of race in US history, or to examine changing attitudes towards race; and the efforts that were made rarely made it into the mainstream of American historiography.


[Review Of] Julie Cruikshank. In Collaboration With Angela Sidney. Kitty Smith. And Annie Ned. Life Lived Like A Story: Life Stories Of Three Yukon Native Elders, Laurie Lisa Jan 1992

[Review Of] Julie Cruikshank. In Collaboration With Angela Sidney. Kitty Smith. And Annie Ned. Life Lived Like A Story: Life Stories Of Three Yukon Native Elders, Laurie Lisa

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Life Lived Like a Story, a volume in the American Indian Lives Series, contains the transcribed autobiographies of three women of the Yukon: Angela Sidney, Kitty Smith, and Annie Ned. In her introduction, Cruikshank states that the book is "based on the premise that life-history investigation provides a model for research." To meet this goal, Cruikshank's methodology depended upon ongoing collaborations between interviewer and interviewees. The three remarkable women who share their life stories in this volume were all raised on the inland side of the high country frontier separating coastal Tlingit and interior Athapaskans; all can claim both Athapaskan …
