Taylor Douglas Macrae 1901 1980
Languages of the West Indies
xix278 pages with tables and diagrams. Royal octavo 9 1/4" x 6 1/4" bound in original burnt orange cloth with black lettering to spine. Foreword by Sidney W Mintz and Dell Hymes. First edition.<br /><br />Based upon more than forty years of linguistic and ethnographic research Douglas Taylor's work presents the languages of the Caribbean in all their variegated richness. Focusing as it does on language contact and linguistic change in the Caribbean from pre-Conquest times to the present it brings the perspectives of linguistics anthropology and history to bear on a crucial area of the New World experience. The author concentrates first on the Amerindian languages of the Caribbean Nepuyo Shebayo Yao Taino Arawak and Island-Carib. He provides the fullest account ever given of the linguistic situation and the history of these languages. Second he turns to the so-called creole languages of the region languages commonly associated with the enslaved Africans whose descendants make up the majority of the Caribbean population. He shows the derivations of the various language systems and the borrowings each language makes from another. Today as Taylor demonstrates these languages vie with standard dialects of European tongues in much of the Caribbean. In Haiti alone probably more than five million persons speak a creole as their first language. By choosing these two important and radically contrastive dimensions for description and analysis Taylor provides the reader with a broad yet remarkably particular overview of the phenomena of language and language change. Creole languages are spoken by millions of contemporary speakers; but the language of the Island-Carib has disappeared from the insular Caribbean. Thus the idiom that once provided all the inhabitants of the lesser islands with their principal medium of communication has now been almost completely supplanted. The principal languages of much of the region today are the outgrowth of lengthy and complex encounters among speakers of many different tongues speakers who were themselves descended from newcomers whose own native languages were not or are no longer spoken in the region. As Taylor points out in his introductory comments language as the primary means of perpetuating culture profoundly reflects and informs the culture itself. Its presence is a living representation of the way of life of people; its disappearance or destruction usually signals the replacement of our cultural system by another. In sum Taylor has provided original and crucial evidence that the origin and character of the Caribbean creole languages must be sought in cultural history of the Caribbean creole-speaking peoples. He adopts the view that the early stage of the language reflected a lexicon largely of Portuguese origin that had been shaped in West Africa and subsequently reshaped in other regions under the influence of other languages. To this "reflexication" hypothesis as it is called he joins a necessary grammatical hypothesis.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />A fine copy in like jacket. John Hopkins University Press hardcover

John Eric Sidney Thompson 1898 1975
Maya Hieroglyphic Writing: Introduction
xvii34764 with frontispiece figures map and index. Quarto 11 1/2" x 9" bound in original publisher's wrappers. Publication 589 Carnegie Institution of Washington. First edition.<br /><br />In this series of essays Thompson reviews extant knowledge on Maya writing gives rich comment and reworks anew the entire field in search of material that may give clues to decipherment. His approach is revealed in the following quotation. "In this volume I have tackled the problem of decipherment in what I deem to be a new way although one which has in it elements which have been tried before. It is my conviction that we shall interpret the glyphs only by relying heavily on the beliefs the religious symbolism the mythology and to a lesser extent the everyday activities of the Maya because such concepts surely are imbedded in each glyph . . . Argument must be from the known to the unknown and for that reason many pages are given to elucidating the meanings of the day names and other signs the names and functions of which are known." All these phases are discussed linguistic clues are investigated and the pictorial and graphic qualities of the glyphs themselves are analyzed at length. Thus the author makes an intense dual study of both the ethnology of the ancient Maya and of the morphology of the hieroglyphs in a search for inter-linkages that may lead to further understanding. Thompson shows that the several calendars endlessly repeating and interlocking like the gears of a complicated clock were not just soulless counting devices: "The Maya conceived of the divisions of time as burdens which were carried through all eternity by relays of bearers . . . Time was not portrayed as the journey of one bearer and his load but of many bearers each with his own division of time on his back." This concept accounts for a host of ethnological ideas suggested in the codices and the stone inscriptions and mentioned in the books of Chilam Balam. Each period such as the day the 260 day cycle and the katun had its own group of bearers usually gods; and the occasion of transfer of the burden of that particular series was an event of note. Period endings were the resting places of the porters. The outstanding example of this Maya idea was the importance of the endings of the twenty-year katuns commemorated by important ceremonies and the erecting of monuments. At such times the bearer of the incoming katun became a powerful diety while his predecessor was relegated to comparative obscurity until the cycle repeated itself. Regarding the religious nature of the Maya calendar the author says "Nowhere else in the world have the periods of time from the day upward been not only deified but given active personalities and the most important parts on the divine stage. . . The fourth Maya day was the day of the maize god . . . The sun god is not only the sun he is the day Ahau he is the number 4." Thus even the numeral itself may be deified. Thompson believes that this thesis of spiritual inter-linkage of living calendars with the Maya pantheon indicates a basic philosophy of the priests. It serves not only in interpretation of the hieroglyphic texts but also gives an insight into the thought and action of the Maya.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Corners gently bumped with some light edge wear spine age darkened else a very good copy.

Tiller Veronica E. Velarde
The Jicarilla Apache Tribe: A History 1846-1970
viii265 pages with 4 maps 24 illustrations bibliography and index. Royal octavo 9 1/4" x 6 1/2" bound in original publisher's tan cloth with brown lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. In this first full-length history of the Jicarillas from the American occupation of the Southwest to the 1970s Tiller emphasizes relations between the federal government and the tribe-the effects of enforced dependence and how the Jicarillas have survived-even flourished-in spite of it. Opening with an examination of the traditional culture and society of the two bands of Jicarillas-the mountain-dwelling Olleros and the plains-dwelling Llaneros-the author establishes the traits that more than any other have characterized them down to the present: adaptability determination to retain their homeland desire to be self-reliant. The theme of the Jicarillas' resilience runs throughout the story of their dispossession exile to an alien reservation and eventual return to their lands in northwestern New Mexico where poverty and neglect were to be their lot for many years. It was those lands rich in timber grazing resources and oil that served as the foundations for their remarkable recovery during the Indian New Deal of the 1930s and their ability to exercise today a large measure of autonomy.

A Compendium of the Indian Wars of New England
63 pages with frontispiece facsimile and index. Small square quarto 10" x 8 1/2" bound in original publisher's wrappers with label to front cover. Edited by Frederck Berg Hartranft. First edition limited to 400 copies of which this is number 220.<br /><br />Initial printing from a previously unpublished MS dated 1767 and left among the author's papers when he died in 1820. The MS remained in private hands for at least another century being in the possession of C A Goodwin in 1926 who assented to its publication.<br /><br />Benjamin Trumbull Hebron Connecticut 19 December 1735 – 2 February 1820 North Haven Connecticut was an early American historian and preacher. He graduated from Yale in 1759 and received his theological education under Reverend Eleazer Wheelock who delivered his ordination sermon in 1760 commending him to the people of North Haven as "not a sensual sleepy lazy dumb dog that could not bark back." He continued in that charge for nearly sixty years his preaching being interrupted only by the Revolution in which he served both as a volunteer and as chaplain.

Robert T. Trotter II and Juan Antonio Chavira
Curanderismo: Mexican American Folk Healing
xi204 pages with frontispiece and 10 illustration appendix glossary references and index. Octavo 8 3/4" x 5 3/4" bound in original publisher's blue-green cloth with black lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition.<br /><br />This is the first book to describe Mexican American folk medicine from an insider's point of view. Curanderismo is an important health resource for Mexican American to who the title curandero represents a healer who is part of an historically and culturally important health system. This is an ethnography of the healing theories and practices of curanderos in Mexican American communities in the United States. It describes how the healers perceive health and illness within their own theoretical frame work how they use that perspective to diagnose and cure both natural and supernatural diseases. Both authors were invited to apprentice with curanderos and the describe curanderismo as a healing system rather than a loose collection of beliefs and superstitions. The book presents an intimate view of not only how curanderismo is practiced by also how it is learned and passed on as a healing tradition. The authors have uncovered the theoretical basis which curanderos use to interpret disease and illness and to recommend appropriate therapy. Three different systems of healing and presented tied together by the theories of energy inherent in curanderismo. The first system the material level derives out of European magic and witchcraft as well as Native American beliefs and practices. The second is a description of the growing use of spiritualism and trance mediumship within the Mexican American communities. The Third is the mental level where curanderos project mental energy to heal their patients. By using the curanderos' own methods establishing rapport becoming part of the healing and support system and by observing and participating in healing sessions and rituals over a period of three years Trotter and Chavira were able to analyze and comment on the relationship between theory beliefs and practices of curanderismo providing a better understanding of why curanderos continue to be in demand despite the life saving capabilities of modern medicine.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Occasional underling and some check marks through out. Light rubbing to jacket extremities else a very good copy in a very good to fine jacket. University of Georgia Press hardcover
