James Peter Zollinger 1896 1975
The Political Creature: An Evolutionary Reorientation
ix303 pages with index. Octavo 8 1/2" x 6 1/2" bound in original publisher's green cloth with black and gilt lettering to spine in original publisher's jacket. First edition. In this work J P Zollinger aims "in a scientifically justifiable way to integrate what is known regarding the world of political civilization into the general framework of modern evolutionary science to break down the ancient superstition that the world of man stands outside the general world order or that he lives in a hermetically sealed domain within nature." The focal point of Zollinger's investigation is evolutionary theory interpreted in the light of Bohr's complementary principle which Zollinger sees as the most fundamental principle of natural development and thus of social development a well. Condition: Corners bumped. Jacket corners rubbed else a very good to fine in a near fine jacket. George Braziller hardcover

CRUZ TORRES MAReA LUZ & PAMELA MCELWEE EDITORS
Gender And Sustainability: Lessons From Asia And Latin America
University of Arizona Press Tucson: 2012. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. This is one of the first books to address how gender plays a role in helping to achieve the sustainable use of natural resources. The contributions collected here deal with the struggles of women and men to negotiate such forces as global environmental change economic development pressures discrimination and stereotyping about the roles of women and men and diminishing access to natural resources�not in the abstract but in everyday life. Contributors are concerned with the lived complexities of the relationship between gender and sustainability. Bringing together case studies from Asia and Latin America this valuable collection adds new knowledge to our understanding of the interplay between local and global processes. Organized broadly by three major issues�forests water and fisheries�the scholarship ranges widely: the gender dimensions of the illegal trade in wildlife in Vietnam; women and development issues along the Ganges River; the role of gender in sustainable fishing in the Philippines; women's inclusion in community forestry in India; gender-based confrontations and resistance in Mexican fisheries; environmentalism and gender in Ecuador; and women's roles in managing water scarcity in Bolivia and addressing sustainability in shrimp farming in the Mekong Delta. Together these chapters show why gender issues are important for understanding how communities and populations deal daily with the challenges of globalization and environmental change. Through their rich ethnographic research the contributors demonstrate that gender analysis offers useful insights into how a more sustainable world can be negotiated�one household and one community at a time. Contributors: Stephanie Buechler Maria Luz Cruz-Torres Linda D'Amico Georgina Drew James Eder Lisa L. Gezon Pamela McElwee Neera Singh Hong Anh Vu Amber Wutich "Gender and Sustainability will interest gender and environment scholars easily serving as a resource for graduate-level or advanced undergraduate courses." �Gendered Perspectives on International Development Resource Bulletin "This is a book that deserves to be read carefully by those engaging in recent iterations of sustainability science."�Gender and Development "The consistently clear language makes the book appropriate for introducing undergraduates to the material as well as an enjoyable read for more experienced scholars."�Gender Place and Culture "A particular strength of this volume is its focus on the many scales of interaction that link the global and the local especially the ways that different scales of activity may influence gender relations through transfers of ideas and power centers."�David Griffith co-author of Fishers at Work Workers at Sea: A Puerto Rican Journey through Labor and Refuge University of Arizona Press, Tucson: 2012 hardcover

BRUCHAC MARGARET M.; MELISSA FAWCETT TANTAQUIDGEON ZOBEL FOREWORD
Savage Kin: Indigenous Informants And American Anthropologists
University of Arizona Press Tucson: 2018. Softcover. Brand new book. In this provocative new book Margaret M. Bruchac an Indigenous anthropologist turns the word savage on its head. Savage Kin explores the nature of the relationships between Indigenous informants such as Gladys Tantaquidgeon Mohegan Jesse Cornplanter Seneca and George Hunt Tlingit and early twentieth-century anthropological collectors such as Frank Speck Arthur C. Parker William N. Fenton and Franz Boas. This book reconceptualizes the intimate details of encounters with Native interlocutors who by turns inspired facilitated and resisted the anthropological enterprise. Like other texts focused on this era Savage Kin features some of the elite white men credited with salvaging material that might otherwise have been lost. Unlike other texts this book highlights the intellectual contributions and cultural strategies of unsung Indigenous informants without whom this research could never have taken place. These bicultural partnerships transgressed social divides and blurred the roles of anthropologist/informant relative/stranger and collector/collected. Yet these stories were obscured by collecting practices that separated people from objects objects from communities and communities from stories. Bruchac's decolonizing efforts include "reverse ethnography"�painstakingly tracking seemingly unidentifiable objects misconstrued social relations unpublished correspondence and unattributed field notes�to recover this evidence. Those early encounters generated foundational knowledges that still affect Indigenous communities today. Savage Kin also contains unexpected narratives of human and other-�than-human encounters�brilliant discoveries lessons from ancestral spirits prophetic warnings powerful gifts and personal tragedies�that will move Native and non-Native readers alike. Margaret M. Bruchac is an assistant professor of anthropology and the coordinator of Native American and Indigenous Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. "Bruchac's work is exemplary dem�onstrating ways to restore looted artifacts to their rightful owners expand the anthropological canon to include indigenous ancestors and learn more democratic ways to construct and share knowledge going forward."�Anthropological Quarterly "Her research is extraordinarily thorough involving archival and ethnographic sources and her analysis and writing are exceptionally engaging and sensitive."�Choice "A must-read for anyone interested in gaining a critical understanding of the history of anthropologists' relationships with their research subjects and the unheralded contributions those people made to the work of preeminent scholars in the field."�Joe E. Watkins University of Maryland "Through an astonishing amount of research Bruchac has brought to light important histories that have been glossed over and in some cases erased from the history of anthropology to its detriment."�Susan Rowley University of British Columbia University of Arizona Press, Tucson: 2018 paperback

She earned her bachelor's degree at Barnard College in New York City and her M. A. And Ph. D. Degrees from Columbia University. Mead served as President of the AAAS in 1975.

She was a proponent of broadening sexual conventions within a context of traditional Western religious life. " from Wikipedia . Random House hardcover

UNDERHILL RUTH M. AUTHOR; CHIP COLWELL & STEPHEN E. NASH EDITORS
An Anthropologist's Arrival: A Memoir
University of Arizona Press Tucson: 2014. Softcover. Brand new book. Ruth M. Underhill 1883-1984 was one of the twentieth century's legendary anthropologists forged in the same crucible as Franz Boas Ruth Benedict and Margaret Mead. After decades of trying to escape her Victorian roots Underhill took on a new adventure at the age of forty-six when she entered Columbia University as a doctoral student of anthropology. Celebrated now as one of America's pioneering anthropologists Underhill reveals her life's journey in frank tender unvarnished revelations that form the basis of An Anthropologist's Arrival. This memoir edited by Chip Colwell-Chanthaphonh and Stephen E. Nash is based on unpublished archives including an unfinished autobiography and interviews conducted prior to her death held by the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. In brutally honest words Underhill describes her uneven passage through life beginning with a searing portrait of the Victorian restraints on women and her struggle to break free from her Quaker family's privileged but tightly laced control. Tenderly and with humor she describes her transformation from a struggling "sweet girl" to wife and then divorce. Professionally she became a welfare worker a novelist a frustrated bureaucrat at the Bureau of Indian Affairs a professor at the University of Denver and finally an anthropologist of distinction. Her witty memoir reveals the creativity and tenacity that pushed the bounds of ethnography particularly through her focus on the lives of women for whom she served as a role model entering a working retirement that lasted until she was nearly 101 years old. No quotation serves to express Ruth Underhill's adventurous view better than a line from her own poetry: "Life is not paid for. Life is lived. Now come." Ruth M. Underhill 1883-1984 received her PhD in anthropology from Columbia University and held positions with the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the University of Denver where she was named professor emeritus upon her retirement in 1952. Specializing in southwestern anthropology Underhill lived on Indian reservations and wrote comprehensively about the Tohono O'odham Navajo and Mohave communities. She is the author of several books. Chip Colwell is the senior curator of anthropology at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and has collaborated with the Hopi tribe since 2002. Stephen E. Nash is curator of archaeology and chair of the Department of Anthropology at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. Previously he served as head of collections in anthropology at the Field Museum in Chicago. He has authored and edited five books on subjects ranging from the history of archaeological tree-ring dating to museum collections. "Ruth Underhill was a remarkable woman an important advocate and educator for native culture who freed herself from the Victorian Quaker social corset. Her life is a compelling story and the editors have ensured that it's also a good read."�Story Circle Book Reviews "This excellent book deserves a wider audience than just those interested in folklore anthropology Indians and the Southwest. The editors have done a superb job of bringing Underhill's unique voice back to us all."�Museum Anthropology Review "A close reading of her experiences and observations gives true insights into the challenges that confronted exceptional women in the early twentieth century United States."�Southwestern Lore "Underhill's story is intriguing precisely because she did her work observed the anthropologists around her with a keen ethnographic eye and explained her feelings as she came to have a career in anthropology on the cusp of professionalization. No one else talks about the Depression the early funding the fieldwork experience in quite this way. I found it fascinating."�Regna Darnell author of And Along Came Boas: Continuity and Revolution in Americanist Anthropology University of Arizona Press, Tucson: 2014 paperback

NABHAN GARY PAUL EDITOR; PAUL E. MINNIS FOREWORD
Ethnobiology For The Future: Linking Cultural And Ecological Diversity
University of Arizona Press Tucson: 2016. Softcover. Brand new book. Ethnobiology holds a special place in the hearts and minds of many because of its dedication to celebrating the knowledge and values of some of the most distinctive cultural practices in some of the most distinctive places on Earth. Yet we live in a world of diminishing natural and linguistic diversity. Whether due to climate change or capitalism homogeneity is trumping the once-resplendent heterogeneity all around us. In this important new collection Gary Paul Nabhan puts forth a call for the future not only of ethnobiology but for the entire planet. He articulates and broadens the portfolio of ethnobiological principles and amplifies the tool kit for anyone engaged in the ethnobiosphere those vital spaces of intense interaction among cultures habitats and creatures. The essays are grouped into a trio of themes. The first group presents the big questions facing humanity the second profiles tools and methodologies that may help to answer those questions and the third ponders how to best communicate these issues not merely to other scholars but to society at large. The essays attest to the ways humans establish and circumscribe their identities not only through their thoughts and actions but also with their physical emotional and spiritual attachments to place flora fauna fungi and feasts. Nabhan and his colleagues from across disciplines and cultures encourage us to be courageous enough to include ethical moral and even spiritual dimensions in work regarding the fate of biocultural diversity. The essays serve as cairns on the critical path toward an ethnobiology that is provocative problem-driven and above all inspiring. "Nabhan's eyes seem especially well attuned to the beauty and joys of the human experience particularly as it relates to our ethnobiological connections." �Paul Minnis editor of Ethnobotany: A Reader "This book will be devoured by all Nabhanophiles and should be read by all those interested in food culture conservation botany and the worlds around them. So chock full of great ideas penetrating insights and unforgettable landscapes it should be savored slowly like the fine feast it is!"�Economic Botany University of Arizona Press, Tucson: 2016 paperback

Knowledge In Motion: Constellations Of Learning Across Time And Place
Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Editor Hardcover $65.00 Ebook $65.00 Buy Spirit mediums of East Africa. Healers and fishermen of the Amazon River Basin. Potters of the American Southwest. People contending with climate change long ago. All share "knowledge in motion" a process of drawing on experiences past and present while engaging in daily practice in relation to contexts of time place and power. In the last twenty-five years scholars from a number of disciplines have explored "situated learning" specifically investigating how learning relates to social reproduction and daily life. In Knowledge in Motion contributors focus on learning through time and at a variety of scales particularly as they relate to power and politics with implications for emergent communities and constellations of practice. This volume brings together archaeologists historians and cultural anthropologists to examine communities engaged in a range of learning practices around the globe from Africa to the Americas. Contributors draw on the growing interdisciplinary scholarship on situated learning to explore those processes in relation to power and broader forces that shape knowledge during times of turbulent change. Enriching the diversity of regions and disciplines Knowledge in Motion focuses on how learning knowledge transmission and the emergent qualities of communities and constellations of practice are shaped by changing spheres of interaction or other unstable events and influences. The contributions forge productive theories and methodologies for exploring situated learning and its broad-ranging outcomes. "Throughout the emphasis on the context of learning proves a productive avenue for thinking through the creative process and the movement of innovations and skill."�New Book Chronicle "Quite a novel approach to issues that have preoccupied archaeologists for decades."�Scott MacEachern Bowdoin College Knowledge in Motion 328 Pages 6 x 9 Published: 2016 Hardcover 9780816532605 Ebook 9780816533749 Related Archaeology hardcover

WHITEHEAD NEIL L. & STEPHANIE W. ALEMAN EDITORS
Anthropologies Of Guayana: Cultural Spaces In Northeastern Amazonia
University of Arizona Press Tucson 2016. Softcover. Brand new book. Unlike better-known regions of the Amazon Guayana�a broad cultural region that includes the countries of Guyana Surinam and French Guiana as well as parts of eastern Venezuela and northern Brazil�has rarely been integrated into the broader narratives of South American anthropology and history. Nevertheless Guayana provides a unique historical context for the persistence and survival of native peoples distinct from the histories reflected by the intense colonial competition in the region over the past 500 years. This is an important collection that brings together the work of scholars from North America South America and Europe to reveal the anthropological significance of Guayana the ancient realm of El Dorado and still the scene of gold and diamond mining. Beginning with the earliest civilizations of the region the chapters focus on the historical ecology of the rain forest and the archaeological record up to the sixteenth century as well as ethnography ethnology and perceptions of space. The book features extensive discussions of the history of a range of indigenous groups such as the Waiwai Trio Waj�pi and Palikur. Contributions analyze the emergence of a postcolonial national society the contrasts between the coastlands and upland regions and the significance of race and violence in contemporary politics. A noteworthy study of the prehistory and history of the region the book also provides a useful survey of the current issues facing northeastern Amazonia. The chapters extend the anthropological agenda beyond the conventional focus on the "indigenous" even as contributors describe how Guayanese languages mythologies and social structures have remained resilient in the face of intense outside pressures. Neil L. Whitehead is a professor of anthropology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is the author of Dark Shamans: Kanaim� and the Poetics of Violent Death. Stephanie Aleman is an assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. University of Arizona Press, Tucson 2016 paperback

EDWARD H. SPICER EDITOR WITH ESSAYS BY ELEANOR BAUWENS MARGARITA ARTSCHWAGER KAY MARY ELIZABETH SHUTLER LOUDELL F. SNOW
Ethnic Medicine In The Southwest
University of Arizona Press Tucson: 2016. Softcover. Brand new book. Health is a major concern to all people. In this volume four writers examine the medical arts of Yaqui Anglo Black and Mexican American communities to further understand the relationship between alternative and scientific medicine. Edward H. Spicer's informative Introduction sets the stage for comparing "popular" and "scientific" medicine. "Graduates of medical schools have been taught that their body of knowledge is the one true medical tradition. The world has many medicines and thousands of practitioners who do not believe that "Western" medicine is a universal cure-all. These practitioners may be as certain that what they practice is the one true medical tradition" says Spicer. In the communities studied the belief is that illnesses may be caused by overwork withcraft or sin and treatment may include herbs prayer or massage. Practitioners are successful and respected although they are not licenses in the legal sense. In these alternative medical traditions "Western" medicine may find a key to new growth and effectiveness. Ethnic Medicine in the Southwest is a fascinating look at commonly practiced arts that will interest not only ethnic and health services specialists but all those interested in cultural traditions.

MCKEOWN C. TIMOTHY
In The Smaller Scope Of Conscience The Struggle For National Repatriation Legislation 1986-1990
University of Arizona Press Tucson: 2014. Softcover. Brand new book. In 1989 The National Museum of the American Indian Act NMAIA was successfully passed after a long and intense struggle. One year later the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act NAGPRA followed. These federal repatriation statutes�arguably some of the most important laws in the history of anthropology museology and American Indian rights�enabled Native Americans to reclaim human remains funerary objects sacred objects and objects of cultural patrimony. Twenty years later the controversy instigated by the creation of NMAIA and NAGPRA continues to simmer. In the Smaller Scope of Conscience is a thoughtful and detailed study of the ins and outs of the four-year process behind these laws. It is a singular contribution to the history of these issues with the potential to help mediate the ongoing debate by encouraging all sides to retrace the steps of the legislators responsible for the acts. Few works are as detailed as McKeown's account which looks into bills that came prior to NMAIA and NAGPRA and combs the legislative history for relevant reports and correspondence. Testimonies documents and interviews from the primary players of this legislative process are cited to offer insights into the drafting and political processes that shaped NMAIA and NAGPRA. Above all else this landmark work distinguishes itself from earlier legislative histories with the quality of its analysis. Invested and yet evenhanded in his narrative McKeown ensures that this journey through history�through the strategies and struggles of different actors to effect change through federal legislation�is not only accurate but eminently intriguing. "This book is a careful thoughtful and detailed study of the ins and outs of making one of the most important laws in the history of anthropology the museum world and American Indian rights. It is a singular contribution to the literature."�Chip Colwell-Chanthaphonh author of Massacre at Camp Grant: Forgetting and Remembering Apache History "A fascinating window into the American psyche itself."�Museum Anthropology "A thorough and highly detailed history."�The Chronicles of Oklahoma "A masterful history of how NAGPRA came to be. . . . An invaluable aid to lawyers museum authorities and scientists who hope to work with human remains or sacred objects and tribal officials who hope to protect them."�Great Plains Research In the Smaller Scope of Conscience University of Arizona Press, Tucson: 2014 paperback

MORETON ROBINSON AILEEN
Critical Indigenous Studies: Engagements In First World Locations
University of Arizona Press Tucson: 2016. Softcover. Brand new book. With increasing speed the emerging discipline of critical Indigenous studies is expanding and demarcating its territory from Indigenous studies through the work of a new generation of Indigenous scholars. Critical Indigenous Studies makes an important contribution to this expansion disrupting the certainty of disciplinary knowledge produced in the twentieth century when studying Indigenous peoples was primarily the domain of non-Indigenous scholars. Aileen Moreton-Robinson's introductory essay provides a context for the emerging discipline. The volume is organized into three sections: the first includes essays that interrogate the embedded nature of Indigenous studies within academic institutions; the second explores the epistemology of the discipline; and the third section is devoted to understanding the locales of critical inquiry and practice. Each essay places and contemplates critical Indigenous studies within the context of First World nations which continue to occupy Indigenous lands in the twenty-first century. The contributors include Aboriginal Metis Maori Kanaka Maoli Filipino-Pohnpeian and Native American scholars working and writing through a shared legacy born of British and later U.S. imperialism. In these countries critical Indigenous studies is flourishing and transitioning into a discipline a knowledge/power domain where distinct work is produced taught researched and disseminated by Indigenous scholars. Contributors: Hokulani K. Aikau Chris Andersen Larissa Behrendt Vicente M. Diaz Noelani Goodyear Kaopua Daniel Heath Justice Brendan Hokowhitu Aileen Moreton-Robinson Jean M. O'Brien Noenoe Silva Kim Tallbear Robert Warrior. "This book is distinguished by the questions it raises and debate it provokes about the imperative of decolonization. Indeed it pushes beyond that imperative marking the ontological intellectual/cultural/linguistic spatial and empirical terrain in which that world exists and its fundamental relationships are reproduced."�Amy Den Ouden author of Beyond Conquest: Native Peoples and the Struggle for History in New England "Critical Indigenous Studies poses uneasy yet important questions and challenges for indigenous scholars and our communities to grapple with as we move onward." �American Indian Culture and Research Journal University of Arizona Press, Tucson: 2016 paperback
