Balkanizing The Balkans, Paul L. Atwood Mar 2000

Balkanizing The Balkans, Paul L. Atwood

New England Journal of Public Policy

This article seeks to place the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Kosovo war in the context of the larger issue of NATO expansion. It argues that the question of ethnic cleansing in that province of Serbia was largely exploited by the United States, the creator and most powerful member of the alliance, to break up the former Yugoslavia, to divide it, and to make it more manageable for Western interests. In the guise of stopping Serb repression, NATO seized an opportunity to build more bases throughout southeastern Europe, including those being constructed in NATO's newest member states, Poland, the Czech Republic, …

American Bittern Depredates Sora, Jane E. Austin, Michael V. Slivinski Mar 2000

American Bittern Depredates Sora, Jane E. Austin, Michael V. Slivinski

United States Geological Survey, Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center: Publications

The American bittern (Botaurus lentiginosus) is an opportunistic predator that forages on a wide variety of foods, primarily insects, amphibians, fishes, snakes, and small mammals (reviewed in Gibbs et al. 1992). To our knowledge, there are no published reports documenting American bittern depredation on birds. We report observations of an American bittern attempting to consume a sora (Porzana carolina).

Review Of The Literary History Of Alberta: From Writing-On-Stone To World War Two, By George Melnyk., Pamela Banting Mar 2000

Review Of The Literary History Of Alberta: From Writing-On-Stone To World War Two, By George Melnyk., Pamela Banting

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

Literary histories play a crucial role in the construction, maintenance, and enforcement of literary canons. In some academic quarters, literary histories have come to be thought of as the tanks deployed in the canon wars, forces acting to suppress awareness of the vitality of local, regional, and minority literatures, and even of the national literatures of postcolonial countries. The canon-as represented in literary histories, conservative anthologies, official prizes, traditionally designed university English courses, and other cultural apparatuses- is the bulwark resisted by younger writers, women writers, writers of color, gay, lesbian, aboriginal, and experimental writers. Literary histories themselves, however, can …

Review Of In A Barren Land: American Indian Dispossession And Survival, By Paula Mitchell Marks., Leroy V. Eid Mar 2000

Review Of In A Barren Land: American Indian Dispossession And Survival, By Paula Mitchell Marks., Leroy V. Eid

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

In A Barren Land covers a four-hundred-year history with the large brush strokes required of a text incorporating, chronologically and creditably, all the generally agreed upon major points of that story. What is in reality a large number of stories, each unfolding within a complex non-Western setting and often with byzantine logic, becomes for Marks-as the book's title succinctly indicates-a focus on what is now the usual media story of peoples dispossessed by an unstoppable force.

Review Of Wakinyan: Lakota Religion In The Twentieth Century, By Stephen E. Feraca., Tink Tinker Mar 2000

Review Of Wakinyan: Lakota Religion In The Twentieth Century, By Stephen E. Feraca., Tink Tinker

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

This slim volume is essentially a caricature of an older genre of anthropological books about Indians and other colonial "others." The new "revised" edition adds precious little new material or insight to the inadequacies of the 1963 version. Feraca, a one-time US government employee on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, has an inconsiderable sense of the complexities of Oglala or Lakota culture. He describes some personal observations of Lakota religious traditions at the surface level, but has no clue regarding the deeper meaning or significance of what he attempts to describe.

Review Of Betraying The Omaha Nation, 1790 - 1916, By Judith A. Boughter., Mark J. Awakuni-Swetland Mar 2000

Review Of Betraying The Omaha Nation, 1790 - 1916, By Judith A. Boughter., Mark J. Awakuni-Swetland

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

The question of whose history is portrayed in any historical narrative remains open to debate. Judith Boughter notes in the preface to Betraying the Omaha Nation that "until now, no one has written a comprehensive history of the Omahas from their legendary origins to their near destitution by the early twentieth century." Her book is reportedly the first part of a trilogy, with subsequent volumes proposing to address Omaha history through World War II as well as contemporary legal battles to regain lost lands.

Review Of Visions Of Freedom On The Great Plains: An Illustrated History Of African Americans In Nebraska, By Bertha W. Calloway And Alonzo M. Smith., Ernie Chambers Mar 2000

Review Of Visions Of Freedom On The Great Plains: An Illustrated History Of African Americans In Nebraska, By Bertha W. Calloway And Alonzo M. Smith., Ernie Chambers

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

Historical or hysterical-that is the question. An 18 January 1999 Omaha World-Herald "Bookwords" column fingered Dr. Smith as "the principal writer" of Visions. In a 14 January 1999 review, The Reader of Omaha gushed: "an exciting new picture book ... filled with picture after crisp black-and-white picture ... a must for anyone even slightly interested in local history." Napoleon decried history as a fable agreed on. To deem this error-riddled book a "history" would be indeed a fable agreed on. This could have been a magnificent project-but what we have instead merits those saddest "words of tongue or pen …

Review Of Boarding School Seasons: American Indian Families, 1900 – 1940, By Brenda J. Child, David W. Adams Mar 2000

Review Of Boarding School Seasons: American Indian Families, 1900 – 1940, By Brenda J. Child, David W. Adams

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

The appearance in recent years of several books on Indian boarding schools attests to historians' growing realization that the efforts of the federal government to solve the so-called Indian problem through education is one of the significant chapters in the history of Indian- white relations. Determined to strip Indian youth of all vestiges of Native outlook, while simultaneously inculcating the knowledge and attitudes of their white colonizers, policy-makers by the end of the nineteenth century had constructed a network of reservation and off-reservation boarding schools devoted to accomplishing the "civilization" process.

Review Of The Moccasin Speaks: Living As Captives Of The Dog Soldier Warriors, Red River War, 1874 - 1875, By Arlene Feldmann Jauken., Robert Carriker Mar 2000

Review Of The Moccasin Speaks: Living As Captives Of The Dog Soldier Warriors, Red River War, 1874 - 1875, By Arlene Feldmann Jauken., Robert Carriker

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

It was family pride that initially caused Arlene Jauken of southeast Nebraska to begin to research the life of her great-grandmother Sophie, one of four daughters of John German, an unfortunate pioneer who was murdered, along with three others in his family, on 11 September 1874, only a day's travel from the safety of Fort Wallace, Kansas. Almost immediately Jauken found that Sophie's story was inseparable from that of the other German girls whose lives were spared: seventeen-year- old Catherine, ransomed with twelve-year- old Sophie in March of 1875, and Julia and Addie, aged seven and five respectively, who were …

Review Of Flight Dreams: A Life In The Midwestern Landscape, By Lisa Knopp., Linda M. Hasselstrom Mar 2000

Review Of Flight Dreams: A Life In The Midwestern Landscape, By Lisa Knopp., Linda M. Hasselstrom

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

Lisa Knopp's story will be encouragingly familiar to those who struggle to find meaning in the muddle of family, education, mistakes, insights, and loves we encounter growing up. Flight Dreams is part of Singular Lives, the Iowa Series in North American Autobiography, whose editor asserts in a foreword that Knopp's Way parallels ancient Oriental definitions of the Tao and its three parallel paths. The book proceeds through the writer's childhood, through various work and religious experiences (including Transcendental Meditation and augury), and finally to her writing about nature and her interpretation of her past. Its three major sections show internal …

Review Of Fort Robinson And The American West, 1874 - 1899, By Thomas R. Buecker., Frank N. Schubert Mar 2000

Review Of Fort Robinson And The American West, 1874 - 1899, By Thomas R. Buecker., Frank N. Schubert

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

The Army established Fort Robinson near the source of the White River on the Pine Ridge in northwestern Nebraska in 1874. The post saw active service in the best known war between the United States and Plains Natives, the Sioux War of 1876, and was the site of the death of Crazy Horse. It also witnessed the tragic Cheyenne outbreak of January 1878, the bloodiest episode in the post's history. This book, the first of a projected two-volume study, covers these events and the next two decades, during which the United States emerged as an imperial power.

Review Of Ghost Towns Of The Montana Prairie, By Don Baker., James R. Shortridge Mar 2000

Review Of Ghost Towns Of The Montana Prairie, By Don Baker., James R. Shortridge

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

Unfulfilled aspirations, a condition common to all human beings, are nowhere more tangible than in an abandoned town. They are the siren call of such places and why guides to ghost towns have become popular items on bookstore shelves, forming a highly varied genre both in quality and intended audience. Don Baker positions his entry on the far side of informality, which is fine, and of carelessness, which is not. The author, a Billings resident bringing enthusiasm to his subject, has produced a visually pleasing, large-format book contammg over eighty photographs. After short sketches of early railroads, the homesteading process, …

Review Of Dispersed City Of The Plains, By Harris Stone, With Joan Stone And J. William Carswell., W. Cecil Steward Mar 2000

Review Of Dispersed City Of The Plains, By Harris Stone, With Joan Stone And J. William Carswell., W. Cecil Steward

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

The book succeeds on several intellectual levels: it presents valuable historical references for the development of towns and cities on the Great Plains; it exposes the materiality and construction, and painful choices, in the restoration and rehabilitation of historic structures; and it lends a frame of values and iconographic references to the overlooked and little appreciated dispersed places and architecture of the middle territory of the United States.

Review Of Forging The Prairie West, By John Herd Thompson., Adele Perry Mar 2000

Review Of Forging The Prairie West, By John Herd Thompson., Adele Perry

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

John Herd Thompson's Forging the Prairie West is a wise, clever, and decisive book, though not an especially consistent one. But that hardly matters: Thompson's lively prose, trenchant observations, and firm portrayal of the Prairie West's history make for an analysis both accessible and engaging.
