WAGNER ROY
Coyote Anthropology
University of Nebraska Press Lincoln: 2010. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Coyote Anthropology shatters anthropology's vaunted theories of practice and offers a radical and comprehensive alternative for the new century. Building on his seminal contributions to symbolic analysis Roy Wagner repositions anthropology at the heart of the creation of meaning�in terms of what anthropology perceives how it goes about representing its subjects and how it understands and legitimizes itself. Of particular concern is that meaning is comprehended and created through a complex and continually unfolding process predicated on what is not there�the unspoken the unheard the unknown�as much as on what is there. Such powerful absences described by Wagner as "anti-twins" are crucial for the invention of cultures and any discipline that proposes to study them. As revealed through conversations between Wagner and Coyote Wagner's anti-twin a coyote anthropology should be as much concerned with absence as with presence if it is to depict accurately the dynamic and creative worlds of others. Furthermore Wagner suggests that anthropologists not only be aware of what informs and conditions their discipline but also understand the range of necessary exclusions that permit anthropology to do what it does. Sly and enticing probing and startling Coyote Anthropology beckons anthropologists to draw closer to the center of all things known and unknown. University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln: 2010 hardcover

HUTCHINS FRANK EDITOR; WILSON PATRICK C EDITOR
Editing Eden: A Reconsideration Of Identity Politics And Place In Amazonia
University of Nebraska Press Lincoln: 2010. Softcover. Brand new book. Recent scholarship on the Amazon has challenged depictions of the region that emphasize its natural exuberance or represent its residents as historically isolated peoples stoically resisting challenges from powerful global forces. The contributors to this volume follow this lead by situating the discussion of the Amazon and its inhabitants at the intersections of identity politics debates about socioeconomic sovereignty and processes of place making. Editing Eden focuses on case studies from Amazonian Brazil Colombia and Ecuador regarding the themes of indigeneity community making development politics and the transcendence of indigenous/nonindigenous divides. Portraits of the Amazon emerge through an analysis of indigenous identity as a product of multiple sources including state policies toward Amazonian populations the views of foreign ecotourists the agendas of nongovernmental organizations NGOs and accounts of journalists. At the same time indigenous and nonindigenous Amazonians challenge the representations constructed for and about them by integrating anthropologists and other nonlocals into their reciprocal systems of gift giving or by utilizing NGO or ecotourist dollars to support their own cultural agendas. Editing Eden offers insights from leading anthropologists of the region providing perspectives on the Amazon beyond the counterfeit paradise but short of El Dorado.

MARKSTROM CAROL A
Empowerment Of North American Indian Girls: Ritual Expressions At Puberty
University of Nebraska Press Lincoln: 2010. Softcover. Brand new book. Empowerment of North American Indian Girls is an examination of coming-of-age-ceremonies for American Indian girls past and present featuring an in-depth look at Native ideas about human development and puberty. Many North American Indian cultures regard the transition from childhood to adulthood as a pivotal and potentially vulnerable phase of life and have accordingly devised coming-of-age rituals to affirm traditional values and community support for its members. Such rituals are a positive and enabling social force in many modern Native communities whose younger generations are wrestling with substance abuse mental health problems suicide and school dropout. Developmental psychologist Carol A. Markstrom reviews indigenous historical and anthropological literatures and conveys the results of her fieldwork to provide descriptive accounts of North American Indian coming-of-age rituals. She gives special attention to the female puberty rituals in four communities: Apache Navajo Lakota and Ojibwa. Of particular interest is the distinctive Apache Sunrise Dance which is described and analyzed in detail. Also included are American Indian feminist interpretations of menstruation and menstrual taboos the feminine in cosmology and the significance of puberty customs and rites for the development of young women.

ENSOR MARISA O EDITOR
The Legacy Of Hurricane Mitch: Lessons From Post-disaster Roconstruction In Honduras
University of Arizona Press Tucson . Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Around the world disaster vulnerability is on the rise. The incidence and intensity of disasters have increased in recent decades with lives being shattered and resources being destroyed across broad geographic regions each year. As it swept across the Honduran landscape the exceptional size power and duration of Hurricane Mitch abruptly and brutally altered the already diminished economic social and environmental conditions of the population. In the aftermath of the disaster a group of seven socio-environmental scientists set out to investigate the root causes of the heightened vulnerability that characterized pre-Mitch Honduras the impact of the catastrophe on the local society and the subsequent recovery efforts. Edited by Marisa O. Ensor this volume presents the findings of their investigation. The Legacy of Hurricane Mitch offers a comprehensive analysis of the immediate and long-term consequences of Hurricane Mitch in Honduras. Based on longitudinal ethnographic fieldwork and environmental assessments this volume illustrates the importance of adopting an approach to disaster research and practice that places "natural" trigger events within their political cultural and socio-economic contexts. The contributors make a compelling case against post-disaster recovery efforts that limit themselves to alleviating the symptoms rather than confronting the root causes of the vulnerability that prefigured the disaster.

ETKIN NINA L
Foods Of Association: Biocultural Perspectives On Foods And Beverages Mediate Sociability
University of Arizona Press Tucson: 2009. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. This fascinating book examines the biology and culture of foods and beverages that are consumed in communal settings with special attention to their health implications. Nina Etkin covers a wealth of topics exploring human evolutionary history the Slow Food movement ritual and ceremonial foods caffeinated beverages spices the street foods of Hawaii and northern Nigeria and even bottled water. Her work is framed by a biocultural perspective that considers both the physiological implications of consumption and the cultural construction and circulation of foods. For Etkin the foods and beverages we consume are simultaneously "biodynamic substances and cultural objects." The book begins with a look at the social eating habits of our primate relatives and discusses our evolutionary adaptations. It then offers a history of social foods in the era of European expansion with a focus on spices and "caffeinated cordials." Of course there were some powerful physiological consequences of eating foods brought home by returning explorers and those are considered too�along with consequences for native peoples. From there the book describes "street food" which is always served in communal settings. Etkin then scrutinizes ceremonial foods and beverages and considers their pharmacological effects as well. Her extensive examination concludes by assessing the biological and cultural implications of bottled water. While intended primarily for scholars this enticing book serves up a tantalizing smorgasbord of food for thought. University of Arizona Press, Tucson: 2009 hardcover

HODGEN MARGARET T
Early Anthropology In The Sixteenth And Seventeenth Centuries
University of Pennsylvania Press Philadelphia: 1998. Softcover. Brand new book. Although social sciences such as anthropology are often thought to have been organized as academic specialties in the nineteenth century the ideas upon which these disciplines were founded actually developed centuries earlier. In fact the foundational concepts can be traced at least as far back as the sixteenth century when contact with unfamiliar peoples in the New World led Europeans to create ways of describing and understanding social similarities and differences among humans. Early Anthropology in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries examines the history of some of the ideas adopted to help understand the origin of culture the diversity of traits the significance of similarities the sequence of high civilizations the course of cultural change and the theory of social evolution. It is a book that not only illuminates the thinking of a bygone age but also sheds light on the sources of attitudes still prevalent today. Includes an Index. Margaret T. Hodgen is author of The Doctrine of Survivals: A Chapter in the History of Scientific Method in the Study of Man and Change and History: A Study of the Dated Distributions of Technological Innovations in England. "Writing with erudition and a broad grasp of the history of social thought Hodgen demonstrates the debt owed to the period of the late Renaissance and even the centuries prior to that."�American Anthropologist ISBN: 081221014X.

Graziano Frank:
Cultures of Devotion: Folk Saints of Spanish America
-Oxford University Press 2007-. First edition. xii322 pages with index. Illustrated. Cloth. Fine in dustjacket. Spanish America has produced numerous "folk saints" -- venerated figures regarded as miraculous but not officially recognized by the Catholic Church. Some of these have huge national cults with hundreds -- perhaps millions -- of devotees. In this book Frank Graziano prvides the first overview in any language of these saints offering in-depth studies of the beliefs rituals and devotions surrounding seven representative figures. These case studies are illuminated by comparisons to some hundred additional saints from contemporary Spanish America. Among the six primary cases are Difunta Correa at whose shrines devotees offer bottles of water and used auto parts in commemoration of her tragic death in the Argentinian desert. Gaucho Gil is only one of many gaucho saints whose characteristic narrative involves political injustice and Robin-Hood crimes on behalf of the exploited people. The widespread cult of the Mexican saint Nino Fidencio is based on faith healing performed by devotees who channel his powers. Nino Compadrito is an elegantly dressed skeleton of a child whose miraculous powers are derived in part from an Andean belief in the power of the skull of one who has suffered a tragic death. Graziano draws upon site visits and extensive interviews with devotees archival material media reports and documentaries to produce vivid portraits of these fascinating popular movements. In the process he sheds new light on the often fraught relationship between orthodox Catholicism and folk beliefs and on an important and little-studied facet of the dynamic culture of contemporary Spanish America. -Oxford University Press (2007)- hardcover

Anthropology Goes To The Fair: The 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition
University of Nebraska Press Lincoln and London: 2007. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. World's fairs and industrial expositions constituted a phenomenally successful popular culture movement during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In addition to the newest technological innovations each exposition showcased commercial and cultural exhibits entertainment concessions national and corporate displays of wealth and indigenous peoples from the colonial empires of the host country. As scientists claiming specialized knowledge about indigenous peoples especially American Indians anthropologists used expositions to promote their quest for professional status and authority. Anthropology Goes to the Fair takes readers through the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition to see how anthropology as conceptualized by W. J. McGee the first president of the American Anthropological Association showcased itself through programs static displays and living exhibits for millions of people "to show each half of the world how the other half lives." More than two thousand Native peoples negotiated and portrayed their own agendas on this world stage. The reader will see how anthropology itself was changed in the process. Nancy J. Parezo is a professor of American Indian studies and anthropology at the University of Arizona and the curator of ethnology at the Arizona State Museum.

DAUBENMIER JUDITH M
The Meskwaki And Anthropologists: Action Anthropology Reconsidered
University of Nebraska Press Lincoln and London: 2008. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. The Meskwaki and Anthropologists illuminates how the University of Chicago's innovative Action Anthropology program of ethnographic fieldwork affected the Meskwaki Indians of Iowa. From 1948 to 1958 the Meskwaki community near Tama Iowa became effectively a testing ground for a new method of practicing anthropology proposed by anthropologists and graduate students at the University of Chicago in response to pressure from the Meskwaki. Action Anthropology as the program was called attempted to more evenly distribute the benefits of anthropology by way of anthropologists helping the Native communities they studied. The legacy of Action Anthropology has received limited attention but even less is known about how the Meskwakis participated in creating it and shaping the way it functioned. Drawing on interviews and extensive archival records Judith M. Daubenmier tells the story from the viewpoint of the Meskwaki themselves. The Meskwaki alternatively cooperated with befriended ignored prodded and collided with their scholarly visitors in trying to get them to understand that the values of reciprocity within Meskwaki culture required people to give something if they expected to get something. Daubenmier sheds light on the economic and political impact of the program on the community and how some Meskwaki manipulated the anthropologists and students through their own expectations of reciprocity and gender roles. Giving weight to the opinions actions and motivations of the Meskwaki Daubenmier assesses more fully and appropriately the impact of Action Anthropology on the Meskwaki settlement and explores its legacy outside the settlement's confines. In so doing she also encourages further consideration of the ongoing relationships between scholars and Indigenous peoples today. Judith M. Daubenmier is a lecturer in the American Culture Program at the University of Michigan. University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln and London: 2008 hardcover

BROWNELL SUSAN EDITOR
The 1904 Anthropology Days And Olympic Games: Sport Race And American Imperialism
University of Nebraska Press Lincoln amd London: 2008. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. One of the more problematic sport spectacles in American history took place at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis which included the third modern Olympic Games. Associated with the Games was a curious event known as Anthropology Days organized by William J. McGee and James Sullivan at that time the leading figures in American anthropology and sports respectively. McGee recruited Natives who were participating in the fair's ethnic displays to compete in sports events with the "scientific" goal of measuring the physical prowess of "savages" as compared with "civilized men." This interdisciplinary collection of essays assesses the ideas about race imperialism and Western civilization manifested in the 1904 World's Fair and Olympic Games and shows how they are still relevant. A turning point in both the history of the Olympics and the development of modern anthropology these games expressed the conflict between the Old World emphasis on culture and New World emphasis on utilitarianism. Marked by Franz Boas's paper at the Scientific Congress the events in St. Louis witnessed the beginning of the shift in anthropological research from nineteenth-century evolutionary racial models to the cultural relativist paradigm that is now a cornerstone of modern American anthropology. Racist pseudoscience nonetheless reappears to this day in the realm of sports. Susan Brownell is a professor and chair of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Missouri St. Louis. She is the author of Training the Body for China: Sports in the Moral Order of the People's Republic and Beijing's Games: What the Olympics Mean to China.

HONG KEELUNG & MURRAY STEPHEN O
Looking Through Taiwan: American Anthropologists' Collusion With Ethnic Domination
University of Nebraska Press Lincoln: 2005. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Anthropologists have long sought to extricate their work from the policies and agendas of those who dominate�and often oppress�their native subjects. Looking through Taiwan is an uncompromising look at a troubling chapter in American anthropology that reveals what happens when anthropologists fail to make fundamental ethnic and political distinctions in their work. Keelung Hong and Stephen O. Murray examine how Taiwanese realities have been represented�and misrepresented�in American social science literature especially anthropology in the post-World War II period. They trace anthropologists' complicity in the domination of a Taiwanese majority by a Chinese minority and in its obfuscation of social realities. At the base of these distortions the authors argue were the mutual interests of the Republic of China's military government and American social scientists in mischaracterizing Taiwan as representative of traditional Chinese culture. American anthropologists eager to study China but denied access by its communist government turned instead to fieldwork on the Republic of China's society which they incorrectly and disingenuously interpreted to reflect traditional Chinese society on the mainland. Anthropologists overlooked the cultural and historical differences between the island and the mainland and effectively legitimized the People's Republic of China's claim on Taiwan. Looking through Taiwan is a powerful critique of American anthropology and a valuable reminder of the political and ethical implications of social science research and writing. Keelung Hong is the CEO and chairman of Taiwan Liposome Company and the coauthor with Stephen O. Murray of Taiwanese Culture Taiwanese Society: A Critical Review of Social Science Research Done on Taiwan. Stephen O. Murray is the director of El Instituto Obregon in San Francisco California and the author of Theory Groups in the Study of Language in North America: A Social History and many other books. "The authors make several good cases against anthropological studies of Taiwan. . . . They also show the earlier anthropologists' inability or failure to differentiate between legacy of the colonial Japanese Taiwanese tradition and KMT policy. . . . They also give credit where credit is due."�Sylvia Li-chun Lin China Review International University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln: 2005 hardcover

Selected Letters of Sir J. G. Frazer.
-Oxford University Press 2005-. First edition. x426 pages with index. Cloth. Fine in dustjacket. This is a fully annotated edition of selected letters by and in some cases to Sir J. G. Frazer 1854-1941 the eminent anthropologist classicist and historian of religion. Frazer was read by virtually everyone working in those fields in the first third of the twentieth century. His great work The Golden Bough offered a grand vision of humanity's mental and spiritual evolution - from vain attempts to compel the gods to do our bidding which Frazer called magic through equally vain attempts to propitiate the gods through prayer and sacrifice his characterization of religion to rationality and science. His richly varied correspondence with prominent figures such as Edmund Gosse A. E. Housman and Bronislaw Malinowski among others offers an unparalleled insight into British intellectual life of the time and also throws light upon the composition of The Golden Bough itself. -Oxford University Press, 2005- hardcover

RAMOS ALCIDA RITA
Sanuma Memories: Yanomani Ethnography In Times Of Crisis
The University of Wisconsin Press Madison Milwaukee and London: 1995. Softcover. Like New. The Yanomani people of Brazil first attracted anthropological and popular attention in the 1960s when they were portrayed as essentially primitive and violent in the widely read book Yanomamo: The Fierce People. To this image of the Yanomami another has recently been added: that of victims of the economic rapacity devouring the Amazon. Sanuma Memories moves beyond these images to provide the first anthropologically sophisticated account of the Yanomami and their social organization kinship marriage capturing both individual experiences and the broader sociological trends that engulf them. A poignant personal story as well it draws on Alcida Ramos's extensive fieldwork among the Sanuma the northernmost Yanomami subgroup from 1968 to 1992 as she reports on the brutal impact of many invasions - from road construction to the gold rush that brought the Yanomami social chaos thousands of deaths devastation of gardens and forest and a disquietingly uncertain future. Includes an Index. "A masterpiece. This is a book both broad and deep bother historical and structural vividly present individuals and placing them in the sweep of social and historical process. A major contribution is the newe perspective it offers on the role of time in the organization of society. It could become an anthropological classic." - Waud Kracke author of Force and Persuasion: Leadership in an Amazonian Society The University of Wisconsin Press, Madison, Milwaukee and London: 1995 paperback
