Mestizos Come Home!

Making and Claiming Mexican American Identity
By Robert Con Davis-Undiano
Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano has described U.S. and Latin American
culture as continually hobbled by amnesiaunable, or unwilling, to remember the
influence of mestizos and indigenous populations. In Mestizos Come Home! author
Robert Con Davis-Undiano documents the great awakening of Mexican American
and Latino culture since the 1960s that has challenged this omission in collective
memory. He maps a new awareness of the United States as intrinsically connected
to the broader context of the Americas. At once native and new to the American
Southwest, Mexican Americans have come home in a profound sense: they have
reasserted their right to claim that land and U.S. culture as their own.
Mestizos Come Home! explores key areas of change that Mexican Americans
have brought to the United States. These areas include the recognition of

RODRGUEZ HOUSE BUILT ON ASHES
House Built on Ashes

A Memoir
By Jos Antonio Rodrguez
The year is 2009, and Jos Antonio Rodrguez, a doctoral student at Binghamton
University in upstate New York, is packing his suitcase, getting ready to spend
the Thanksgiving holiday with his parents in South Texas. He soon learns from
his father that a drug cartel has overtaken the Mexican border village where he
was born. Now, because of the violence there, he wont be able to visit his early-
childhood home. Instead, his memories will have to take him back.
Thus, Rodrguez begins a meditative journey into the past. Through a series
of vignettes, he mines the details of a childhood and adolescence fraught with
deprivation but offset by moments of tenderness and beauty. Suddenly he is four
years old again, and his mother is feeding him raw sugarcane for the first time. With
the sweetness still on his tongue, he runs to a field, where he falls asleep under a

Of Related Interest
Poignant and lyrical, House Built on Ashes contemplates the promises, limitations,
and contradictions of the American Dream. Even as it tells a deeply personal story,
it evokes larger political, cultural, and social realities. It speaks to what America
is and what it is not. It speaks to a world of hunger, prejudice, and far too many
boundaries. But it speaks, as well, to the redemptive power of beauty and its life-
sustaining gift of hope.

By Rilla Askew
Foreword by Susan Kates
In her first nonfiction collection, award-winning novelist Rilla Askew casts an
unflinching eye on American history, both past and present. As she traverses a line
between memoir and social commentary, Askew places herselfand indeed all
Americansin the role of witness to uncomfortable truths about who we are.
Through nine linked essays, Most American: Notes from a Wounded Place evokes
a vivid impression of the United States: police violence and gun culture, ethnic
cleansing and denied history, spellbinding landscapes and brutal weather. To render
these conditions in the particulars of place, Askew spotlights the complex history
of her home state. From the Trail of Tears to the Tulsa Race Riot to the Murrah

VALDEZ CRDENAS, MEADE THE TAKEN
of the drug war in Mexico
The Taken
True Stories of the Sinaloa Drug War
By Javier Valdez Crdenas
Translated and with an introduction by Everard Meade
A massive wave of violence has rippled across Mexico over the past decade. In the
western state of Sinaloa, the birthplace of modern drug trafficking, ordinary citizens
live in constant fear of being takenkidnapped or held against their will by armed
men, whether criminals, police, or both. This remarkable collection of firsthand
accounts by prize-winning journalist Javier Valdez Crdenas provides a uniquely
human perspective on life in Sinaloa during the drug war.
The reality of the Mexican drug war, a conflict fueled by uncertainty and fear, is far
more complex than the images conjured in popular imagination. Often missing from
news reports is the perspective of ordinary peoplemigrant workers, schoolteachers,

FOLSOM ARREDONDO
most ruthless and effective leaders
Arredondo
Last Spanish Ruler of Texas and Northeastern New Spain
By Bradley Folsom
In this biography of Joaqun de Arredondo, historian Bradley Folsom brings to
life one of the most influential and ruthless leaders in North American history.
Arredondo (17761837), a Bourbon loyalist who governed Texas and the
other interior provinces of northeastern New Spain during the Mexican War of
Independence, contended with attacks by revolutionaries, U.S. citizens, generals
who had served in Napoleons army, pirates, and various American Indian groups,
all attempting to wrest control of the region. Often resorting to violence to deal
with the provinces problems, Arredondo was for ten years the most powerful
official in northeastern New Spain.
Folsoms lively account shows the challenges of governing a vast and inhospitable
region and provides insight into nineteenth-century military tactics and Spanish

In the Battle of Medina, the bloodiest battle ever fought in Texas, he crushed the
insurgents and followed his victory with a purge that reduced Texass population by
half. Over the following eight years, Arredondo faced fresh challenges to Spanish
sovereignty ranging from Comanche and Apache raids to continued American
incursion. In response, Arredondo ignored his superiors and ordered his soldiers to
terrorize those who disagreed with him.

Nine Days in May

The Battles of the 4th Infantry Division on
the Cambodian Border, 1967
By Warren K. Wilkins
Moving through the jungle near the Cambodian border on May 18, 1967, a company
of American infantry observed three North Vietnamese Army regulars, AK-47s slung
over their shoulders, walking down a well-worn trail in the rugged Central Highlands.
Startled by shouts of Lai day, lai day (Come here, come here), the three men
dropped their packs and fled. The company commander, a young lieutenant, sent
a platoon down the trail to investigate. Those few men soon found themselves
outnumbered, surrounded, and fighting for their lives. Their first desperate moments
marked the beginning of a series of bloody battles that lasted more than a week, one
that survivors would later call the nine days in May border battles.
Nine Days in May is the first full account of these bitterly contested battles. Part of

Foreword by Robert Con Davis-Undiano
In the shadow of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, New Mexicos Mora Valley
harbors the ghosts of history: troubadours and soldiers, Plains Indians and settlers,
families fleeing and finding home. There, more than a century ago, villagers collect
scraps of paper documenting the valleys history and their identitymilitary
records, travelers diaries, newspaper articles, poetry, and moreand bind them into
a leather portfolio known as The Book of Archives. When a bomb blast during
the Mexican-American War scatters the books contents to the wind, the memory of
the accounts lives on instead in the minds of Mora residents. Poets and storytellers
pass down the valleys traditions into the twentieth century, from one generation to
the next. In this pathbreaking dual-language volume, author A. Gabriel Melndez

Franciscan Frontiersmen
How Three Adventurers Charted the West
By Robert A. Kittle
Pious and scholarly, the Franciscan friars Pedro Font, Juan Cresp, and Francisco
Garcs may at first seem improbable heroes. Beginning in Spain, their adventures
encompassed the remote Sierra Gorda highlands of Mexico, the deserts of the
American Southwest, and coastal California. Each mans journey played an
important role in Spains eighteenth-century conquest of the Pacific coast, but today
their names and deeds are little known. Drawing on the diaries and correspondence
of Font, Cresp, and Garcs, as well as his own exhaustive field research, Robert A.
Kittle has woven a seamless narrative detailing the friars striking accomplishments.
Starting with a harrowing transatlantic voyage, all three traveled through uncharted
lands and found themselves beset by raiding Indians, marauding bears, starvation,
and scurvy. Along the way, they made invaluable notes on indigenous peoples, flora

Oklahoma was in the throes of the Great Depression when Preston George acquired
a cheap Kodak folding camera and took his first photographs of steam locomotives.
As depression gave way to world war, George kept taking pictures, now with a
Graflex camera that could capture moving trains. In this first book devoted solely
to Georges work, his black-and-white photographs constitute a striking visual

Cherokee origin stories have been handed down over thousands of years. They
intertwine to form a rich history of oral and artistic traditions that tell the Cherokee
story. The vast array of art objects unearthed from prehistoric mounds throughout
the southeastern United States evidence the antiquity of this rich cultural history.
To some, these may be artifacts, but to the Cherokee people, they are tribal history:
objects that were touched by ancestors, ancestors who have continued to teach their
skills through gifts they left behind to be discovered.

POWELL THE 1928 BUNION DERBY

The 1928 Bunion Derby
A Historical Tour and Driving Guide, Chicago to New York City
By James R. Powell
The historic 1928 Bunion Derby was a cross-country footrace from Los Angeles
to New York City. In a supreme test of human endurance and fortitude, runners
pounded the pavement for 84 straight days, covering more than 3,400 miles.
Starting in Los Angeles, the competitors tracked the path of old Route 66 to
Chicago. From there they followed a twisting 1,000-mile trail to New York City.
That journey is the subject of this book.

Many associate early western music with the likes of Roy Rogers and Gene Autry,

decades. Written by Tin Pan Alley songsters in the era before radio, the first popular
cowboy and Indian songs circulated as piano sheet music and as cylinder and disc
recordings that were played on wind-up talking machines.

Architecture of Discipline in Freedom
By Arn Henderson
Renowned today as one of the most important architects of the twentieth century,
Bruce Goff (19041982) was only twelve years old when a Tulsa architectural
firm took him on as an apprentice. Throughout his career he defied expectations,
not only as a designer of innovative buildings but also as a gifted educator and
painter. This beautifully illustrated volume, featuring more than 150 photographs,
architectural drawings, and color plates, explores the vast multitude of ideas and
themes that influenced Goffs work.
Tracing what he calls Goffs path of originality, Arn Henderson begins by

with its qualities of mystery and discipline in freedom, was a perpetual source of
inspiration.
Henderson also emphasizes Goffs identification with the American West,

particularly Oklahoma, where he developed most of his ideas and created many of
his masterful buildings. Goff served as a professor at the University of Oklahoma
between 1947 and 1955, becoming the first chair of its School of Architecture. The AMERICAN SKI RESORT

Americas Best Female Sharpshooter

The Rise and Fall of Lillian Frances Smith
By Julia Bricklin
Today, most remember California Girl Lillian Frances Smith (18711930) as
Annie Oakleys chief competitor in the small world of the Wild West shows female
shooters. But the two women were quite different: Oakleys conservative prairie
beauty persona clashed with Smiths tendency to wear flashy clothes and keep
company with the cowboys and American Indians she performed with. This lively
first biography chronicles the Wild West show biz life that Smith led and explores
the talents that made her a star.
Drawing on family records, press accounts, interviews, and numerous other sources,
historian Julia Bricklin peels away the myths that enshroud Smiths fifty-year career.
Known as The California Huntress before she was ten years old, she was a

In the end, as author Julia Bricklin shows, Smith cared more about living her life
on her own terms than about her public image. Unlike her competitors who shot to

What is now called JCPenney, a fixture of suburban shopping malls, started out as
a small-town Main Street store that fused its founders interests in agriculture, retail
business, religion, and philanthropy. This bookat once a biography of Missouri
farm boyturnedbusiness icon James Cash Penney and the story of the company
he started in 1902brings to light the little-known agrarian roots of an American
department store chain. David Delbert Kruger explores how the company, its stores,
and their famous founder shaped rural America throughout the twentieth century.
Most of our stores, Penney explained in 1931, are located in agricultural regions
where the tide of merchandising rises and falls with the prosperity of the farmers.
Despite the growth of cities in the early twentieth century, Penney maintained his
stores commitment to serving the needs of farmers and small-town folk. Tracing
this dedication to Penneys rural upbringing, Kruger describes how, from one store MAY

Frank Little and the IWW

The Blood That Stained an American Family
By Jane Little Botkin
Franklin Henry Little (18781917), an organizer for the Western Federation of
Miners and the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), fought in some of the early
twentieth centurys most contentious labor and free-speech struggles. Following his
lynching in Butte, Montana, his life and legacy became shrouded in tragedy and
family secrets. In Frank Little and the IWW, author Jane Little Botkin chronicles
her great-granduncles fascinating life and reveals its connections to the history of
American labor and the first Red Scare.
Beginning with Littles childhood in Missouri and territorial Oklahoma, Botkin

recounts his evolution as a renowned organizer and agitator on behalf of workers
in corporate agriculture, oil, logging, and mining. Frank Little traveled the West
to gather workers beneath the banner of the Wobblies (as IWW members were

SNYDER JOHN JOSEPH MATHEWS

John Joseph Mathews
Life of an Osage Writer
By Michael Snyder
Foreword by Russ Tall Chief
John Joseph Mathews (18941979) is one of Oklahomas most revered twentieth-
century authors. An Osage Indian, he was also one of the first Indigenous authors to
gain national renown. Yet fame did not come easily to Mathews, and his personality
was full of contradictions. In this captivating biography, Michael Snyder provides
the first book-length account of this fascinating figure.
Known as Jo to all his friends, Mathews had a multifaceted identity. A novelist,

naturalist, biographer, historian, and tribal preservationist, he was a true man of
letters. Snyder draws on a wealth of sources, many of them previously untapped,
to narrate Mathewss story. Much of the writers family lifeespecially his two
marriages and his relationships with his two children and two stepchildrenis VOLUME 69 IN THE AMERICAN INDIAN

Like many gifted artists, Mathews was not without flaws. And perhaps in the eyes
of some critics, he occupies a nebulous space in literary history. Through insightful
analysis of his major works, especially his semiautobiographical novel Sundown
and his meditative Talking to the Moon, Snyder revises this impression. The story he
tells, of one remarkable individual, is also the story of the Osage Nation, the state
of Oklahoma, and Native America in the twentieth century. TWENTY THOUSAND MORNINGS

Foreword by Robert M. Utley
Elden Duane Rogers died on March 19, 1945, one of the eight hundred who
perished on the aircraft carrier USS Franklin that day. It was his nineteenth birthday.
Write home often, the navy told sailors like Elden, thinking it would keep up morale
among sailors and those waiting for them stateside. But they were told not to write
anything about where they were, where they had been, where they were going,
what they were doing, or even what the weather was like. Spies were presumed
everywhere, and loose lips could sink ships. Before a sailors letter could be sealed

BECHTHOLD FLYING TO VICTORY

Flying to Victory
Raymond Collishaw and the Western Desert Campaign, 19401941
By Mike Bechthold
Canadian-born flying ace Raymond Collishaw (18931976) served in Britains air
forces for twenty-eight years. As a pilot in World War I he was credited with sixty-
one confirmed kills on the Western Front. When World War II began in 1939, Air
Commodore Collishaw commanded a Royal Air Force group in Egypt. It was in
Egypt and Lybia in 194041, during the Britains Western Desert campaign, that
he demonstrated the tenets of an effective air-ground cooperation system. Flying
to Victory examines Raymond Collishaws contribution to the British system of
tactical air supporta pattern of operations that eventually became standard in the
Allied air forces and proved to be a key factor in the Allied victory.
The British Army and Royal Air Force entered the war with conflicting views on
the issue of air support that hindered the success of early operations. It was only

Flying to Victory details the experiences that prepared Collishaw so well for this
campaign and that taught him much about the application of air power, especially
how to work effectively with the army and Royal Navy. As Bechthold shows, these
lessons learned altered the Allied approach to tactical air support and, ultimately,
changed the course of the Second World War.

Standing in Their Own Light

African American Patriots in the American Revolution
By Judith L. Van Buskirk
The Revolutionary War encompassed at least two struggles: one for freedom from
British rule, and another, quieter but no less significant fight for the liberty of
African Americans, thousands of whom fought in the Continental Army. Because
these veterans left few letters or diaries, their story has remained largely untold,
and the significance of their service largely unappreciated. Standing in Their Own
Light restores these African American patriots to their rightful place in the historical
struggle for independence and the end of racial oppression.
Revolutionary era African Americans began their lives in a world that hardly
questioned slavery; they finished their days in a world that increasingly contested

Civil War in the Southwest

Borderlands, 18611867
By Andrew E. Masich
Still the least-understood theater of the Civil War, the Southwest Borderlands saw
not only Union and Confederate forces clashing but Indians, Hispanos, and Anglos
struggling for survival, power, and dominance on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico
border. While other scholars have examined individual battles, Andrew E. Masich is
the first to analyze these conflicts as interconnected civil wars. Based on previously
overlooked Indian Depredation Claim records and a wealth of other sources, this
book is both a close-up history of the Civil War in the region and an examination of
the war-making traditions of its diverse peoples.
Along the border, Masich argues, the Civil War played out as a collision between
three warrior cultures. Indians, Hispanos, and Anglos brought their own weapons
and tactics to the struggle, but they also shared many traditions. Before the war,

Most military biographies focus on officers, many of whom left diaries or wrote

by focusing on the lives of enlisted soldiers from a variety of cultural and racial
backgrounds. Comprised of ten biographies, Soldiers in the Southwest Borderlands
showcases the scholarship of experts who have mined military records, descendants
recollections, genealogical sources, and even folklore to tell common soldiers stories.
The essays examine enlisted soldiers cross-cultural interactions and dynamic,

In spring 1876 a physician named James Madison DeWolf accepted the assignment

accompanied Custers battalion at the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Killed in the

DEARMENT MAN-HUNTERS OF THE OLD WEST
Man-Hunters of the Old West

By Robert K. DeArment
Settlers in the frontier West were often easy prey for criminals. Policing efforts were
scattered at best and often amounted to vigilante retaliation. To create a semblance
of order, freelance enforcers of the law known as man-hunters undertook the search
for fugitives. These pursuers have often been portrayed as ruthless bounty hunters,
no better than the felons they pursued. Robert K. DeArments detailed account of
their careers redeems their reputations and reveals the truth behind their fascinating
legends.
As DeArment shows, man-hunters were far more likely to capture felons alive
than their popular image suggests. Although Wanted: Dead or Alive reward
notices were posted during this period, they were reserved for the most murderous
desperadoes. Man-hunters also came from a variety of backgrounds in the East and
the West: of the eight men whose stories DeArment tells, one began as an officer for

Diminishing the Bill of Rights

Barron v. Baltimore and the Foundations of American Liberty
By William Davenport Mercer
The modern effort to locate American liberties, it turns out, began in the mud at the
bottom of Baltimore harbor. John Barron Jr. and John Craig sued the city for damages
after Baltimores rebuilt drainage system diverted water and sediment into the harbor,
preventing large ships from tying up at Barron and Craigs wharf. By the time the
case reached the U.S. Supreme Court in 1833, the issue had become whether the citys
actions constituted a taking of property by the state without just compensation, a
violation of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The high courts decision
in Barron v. Baltimore marked a critical step in the rapid evolution of law and
constitutional rights during the first half of the nineteenth century.
Diminishing the Bill of Rights examines the backstory and context of this decision

Reservation Politics
Historical Trauma, Economic Development, and Intratribal Conflict
By Raymond I. Orr
For American Indians, tribal politics are paramount. They determine the standards
for tribal enrollment, guide negotiations with outside governments, and help set
collective economic and cultural goals. But how, asks Raymond I. Orr, has history
shaped the American Indian political experience? By exploring how different
tribes politics and internal conflicts have evolved over time, Reservation Politics
offers rare insight into the role of historical experience in the political lives of
American Indians.
To trace variations in political conflict within tribes today to their different

historical experiences, Orr conducted an ethnographic analysis of three federally
recognized tribes: the Isleta Pueblo in New Mexico, the Citizen Potawatomi in
Oklahoma, and the Rosebud Sioux in South Dakota. His extensive interviews and

Personal Stories of Native Religious Belonging
Edited by Mark Clatterbuck
Foreword by Jace Weaver
Crow Christianity speaks in many voices, and in the pages of Crow Jesus, these
voices tell a complex story of Christian faith and Native tradition combining
and reshaping each other to create a new and richly varied religious identity. In
this collection of narratives, fifteen members of the Apsalooke (Crow) Nation
in southeastern Montana and three non-Native missionaries to the reservation
describe how Christianity has shaped their lives, their families, and their community
through the years.
Among the speakers are elders and young people, women and men, pastors and
laypeople, devout traditionalists and skeptics of the indigenous cultural way. Taken
together, the narratives reveal the startling variety and sharp contradictions that

From April to November 1935 in Belgium, fifteen Lakotas enacted their culture on

tepees, danced, and demonstrated marksmanship and horse taming for the twenty
million visitors to the Brussels International Exposition, a grand event similar to
a worlds fair. The performers then turned homeward, leaving behind 157 pieces

Webs of Kinship
Family in Northern Cheyenne Nationhood
By Christina Gish Hill
Many stories that non-Natives tell about Native people emphasize human suffering,
the inevitability of loss, and eventual extinction, whether physical or cultural.
But the stories Northern Cheyennes tell about themselves emphasize survival,
connectedness, and commitment to land and community. In writing Webs of
Kinship, anthropologist Christina Gish Hill has worked with government records
and other historical documents, as well as the oral testimonies of todays Northern
Cheyennes, to emphasize the ties of family, rather than the ambitions of individual
leaders, as the central impetus behind the nations efforts to establish a reservation
in its Tongue River homeland.
Hill focuses on the people who lived alongside notable Cheyennes such as Dull

Maya Caciques in Early National Yucatn

By Rajeshwari Dutt
Andrs Canch became the cacique, or indigenous leader, of Cenotillo, Yucatn,
in January 1834. By his retirement in 1864, he had become an expert politician,
balancing powerful local alliances with his communitys interests as early
national Yucatn underwent major political and social shifts. In Maya Caciques
in Early National Yucatn, Rajeshwari Dutt uses Canchs story as a compelling
microhistory to open a new perspective on the role of the cacique in post-
independence Yucatn.
In most of the literature on Yucatn, caciques are seen as remnants of Spanish

colonial rule, intermediaries whose importance declined over the early national
period. Dutt instead shows that at the individual level, caciques became more
politicized and, in some cases, gained power. Rather than focusing on the rebellion
and violence that inform most scholarship on post-independence Yucatn, Dutt
traces the more quotidian ways in which figures like Canch held onto power. In the

At the same time, Dutts exploration of the caciques life stories reveals a larger
narrative about the emergence, evolution, and normalization of particular forms

of national political conduct in the decades following independence. Over time,
caciques fashioned a new political repertoire, forming strategic local alliances with
villagers, priests, Spanish and Creole officials, and other caciques. As state policies
made political participation increasingly difficult, Maya caciques turned clientelism,
or the use of patronage relationships, into the new modus operandi of local politics.
Dutts engaging exploration of the life and career of Andrs Canch, and of his

The Maya Calendar

A Book of Months, 4002000 CE
By Weldon Lamb
By 1,800 years ago, speakers of proto-Cholan, the ancestor of three present-day

Maya languages, had developed a calendar of eighteen twenty-day months plus a
set of five days for a total of 365 days. This original Maya calendar, used extensively
during the Classic period (200900 CE), recorded in hieroglyphic inscriptions the
dates of dynastic and cosmological importance. Over time, and especially after
the Mayas contact with Europeans, the month names that had originated with
these inscriptions developed into fourteen distinct traditions, each connected to a
different ethnic group. Today, the glyphs encompass 250 standard forms, variants,

Mining data from astronomy, ethnography, linguistics, and epigraphy, and

Introduction by Ins Hernndez-vila
Mexicos indigenous people speak a number of rich and complex languages today, as
they did before the arrival of the Spanish. Yet a common misperception is that Mayas
have no languages of their own, only dialectos, and therefore live in silence. In reality,
contemporary Mayas are anything but voiceless. Chiapas Maya Awakening, a collection
of poems and short stories by indigenous authors from Chiapas, Mexico, is an inspiring
testimony to their literary achievements. A unique trilingual edition, it presents the
contributors works in the living Chiapas Mayan languages of Tsotsil and Tseltal, along
with English and Spanish translations.

In the past fifty years, the study of indigenous and pre-Columbian art has evolved
from a groundbreaking area of inquiry in the mid-1960s to an established field of
research. This period also spans the career of art historian Esther Pasztory. Few
scholars have made such a broad and lasting impact as Pasztory, both in terms
of our understanding of specific facets of ancient American art as well as in our
appreciation of the evolving analytical tendencies related to the broader field of
study as it developed and matured. The essays collected in this volume reflect
scholarly rigor and new perspectives on ancient American art and are contributed
