RAKOVE A POLITICIAN THINKING

Madison’s political mind at work
A Politician Thinking
The Creative Mind of James Madison
By Jack N. Rakove
James Madison presented his most celebrated and studied political ideas in his
contributions to The Federalist, the essays that he, Alexander Hamilton, and John
Jay wrote in 1787–1788 to secure ratification of the U.S. Constitution. As Jack N.
Rakove shows in A Politician Thinking, however, those essays do not illustrate
the full complexity and vigor of Madison’s thinking. In this book, Rakove pushes
beyond what Madison thought to examine how he thought, showing that this
founder’s political genius lay less in the content of his published writings than in the
ways he turned his creative mind to solving real political problems.
Rakove begins his analysis by examining how Madison drew upon his experiences
as a member of the Continental Congress and as a Virginia legislator to develop his
key ideas. Madison sought to derive lessons of history from his reading and his own
VOLUME 14 IN THE JULIAN J. ROTHBAUM
experience, but he also thought about politics in terms of what we now recognize as DISTINGUISHED LECTURE SERIES
game theory. After discussing Madison’s approach to the challenge of constitutional
change, Rakove emphasizes his strikingly modern understanding of legislative SEPTEMBER
deliberation, which he treated as the defining problem of republican government. $29.95 CLOTH 978-0-8061-5737-5

Rakove also addresses Madison’s deliberation about ways to protect the rights of POLITICAL SCIENCE/U.S. HISTORY
individuals and political minorities from the rule of “factious majorities.” The book
closes by tracing how Madison developed strategies for maintaining long-term Of Related Interest
constitutional stability and adjusting to the new realities of governance under the
Constitution.
Engaging and accessible, A Politician Thinking offers new insight concerning a key
constitutional thinker and the foundations of the American constitutional system.

presented in the formation of that system, we better grasp a unique moment of

SQUIRES LIVE FROM MEDICINE PARK

and roll with one man’s quest for redemption
Live from Medicine Park

By Constance Squires
Documentary filmmaker Ray Wheeler is down on his luck. Embroiled in a lawsuit,
he is reeling from the consequences of a near-fatal shooting on his last film, and has
just lost his teaching gig. Broke and beleaguered, he can’t afford to be particular
about his next project. So when a former student invites him to film the comeback
of Lena Wells, an iconic rock-and-roll singer who hit it big in the seventies, three
decades earlier, he reluctantly agrees—even though he doesn’t like her music.
When Ray arrives at Lena’s hometown of Medicine Park, Oklahoma, a defunct

resort community, he is determined to approach his topic with the professional
detachment that has guided his career. His work ethic is modeled on the prime
directive of Star Trek: never interfere with an alien civilization. But with only five
days left before Lena’s comeback concert, Ray quickly runs afoul of his subject,
who places him on a one-week probation. The terms: impress her or else.

PORTER WALTER UFER

of Artists’ founding members
Walter Ufer
Rise, Fall, Resurrection
By Dean A. Porter
Walter Ufer’s artistic legacy, like that of other Taos Society artists, went largely
unappreciated for several decades following World War II. A few discerning patrons
acquired Ufer’s artwork for private holdings and prospective museums collections.
However, art critics and scholars paid little heed to him or the Southwest genre
of art until the 1980s, when a series of major scholarly publications regarding the
Taos Society of Artists begin to stimulate interest.
Walter Ufer: Rise, Fall, Resurrection examines the life and artistic career of one
of America’s most talented artists, relatively unknown outside a small circle of
collectors and scholars. Born in Germany to parents who had immigrated to
Louisville, Kentucky, Ufer became a founding member of the Taos Society of DISTRIBUTED FOR THE NATIONAL COWBOY

adversity.

Ray Stanford Strong,

West Coast Landscape Artist
By Mark Humpal
Throughout his long and prolific career, Ray Stanford Strong (1905–2006) strove
to capture the essence of the western American landscape. An accomplished painter
who achieved national fame during the New Deal era, Strong is best known for his
depiction of landscapes in California and Oregon, rendered in his signature plein
air style. This beautiful volume, featuring more than 100 color and black-and-white
illustrations, is the first comprehensive exploration of Strong’s life and artistry.

KAUFMAN WOODY GUTHRIE'S MODERN WORLD BLUES
Woody Guthrie’s Modern World Blues

By Will Kaufman
Mention Woody Guthrie, and people who know the name are likely to think of
the “Okie Bard,” dust storms behind him, riding a boxcar or walking a red-dirt
road, a battered guitar strapped to his back. But unlock Guthrie from the confines
of rural folk and Hollywood mythology, as Will Kaufman does here, and you’ll
find an abstract painter and sculptor who wrote about atomic energy and Ingrid
Bergman and developed advanced theories of dialectical materialism and human
engineering—in short, a folk singer who was deeply engaged with the art, ideas, and
issues of his time.
Guthrie may have been born in the Oklahoma hills, but his most productive years
were spent in the metropolitan centers of Los Angeles and New York. Machines
and their physics were among his favorite metaphors, fast cars were his passion,
and airplanes and even flying saucers were his frequent subjects. His career-long

The tale of the West’s most famous prospector, in his own words
SCHIEFFELIN, CRAIG PORTRAIT OF A PROSPECTOR

Portrait of a Prospector
Edward Schieffelin’s Own Story
Edited by R. Bruce Craig
Edward “Ed” Schieffelin (1847–1897) was the epitome of the American
frontiersman. A former Indian scout, he discovered what would become known
as the legendary Tombstone, Arizona, silver lode in 1877. His search for wealth
followed a path well-trod by thousands who journeyed west in the mid to
late nineteenth century to try their luck in mining country. But unlike typical
prospectors who spent decades futilely panning for gold, Schieffelin led an epic life
of wealth and adventure. In Portrait of a Prospector, historian R. Bruce Craig pieces
together the colorful memoirs and oral histories of this singular individual to tell
Schieffelin’s story in his own words.
Craig places the prospector’s family background and times into context in an
engaging introduction, then opens Schieffelin’s story with the frontiersman’s
accounts of his first prospecting attempts at ten years old, his flight from home NOVEMBER

Unlike many prospectors who simply panned for gold, Schieffelin took on wealthy
partners who invested the enormous funds needed for hard rock mining. He and his
co-investors in the Tombstone claim became millionaires. Restless in his newfound life
of wealth and leisure, Schieffelin soon returned to exploration. Upon his early death
in Oregon he left behind a new strike, the location of which remains a mystery.

ETULAIN ERNEST HAYCOX AND THE WESTERN
Ernest Haycox and the Western

By Richard W. Etulain
Western fans today may not recognize the name Ernest Haycox (1899–1950),
but they know his work. John Ford turned one of his stories into the iconic film
Stagecoach, and the whole Western literary genre still follows conventions that
Haycox deftly mastered and reshaped. In this new book about Haycox’s literary
career, Richard W. Etulain tells the engrossing story of his rise through the ranks of
popular magazine and serial fiction to become one of the Western’s most successful
creators.
After graduating from the University of Oregon in 1923 with a degree in

journalism, Haycox began his quest to break into New York’s pulp magazine scene,
submitting dozens of stories before he began to make a living from his writing. By
the end of the 1920s he had become a top writer for Western Story, Short Stories,
and Adventure, among other popular weeklies and monthlies.

historical realism into his plots. After reaching the height of success with his best-

financially rewarding but artistically constricting Western formula—only to achieve
his final coup with The Earthbreakers, a historical novel about the end of the
Oregon Trail, published posthumously in 1952.
Reconstructing the career of a popular literary giant, Ernest Haycox and the

A masterpiece of detective work that unravels the
CABALLERO OROZCO
mystery of a tragic revolutionary leader
Orozco
The Life and Death of a Mexican Revolutionary
By Raymond Caballero
On August 31, 1915, a Texas posse lynched five “horse thieves.” One of them,
it turned out, was General Pascual Orozco Jr., military hero of the Mexican
Revolution. Was he a desperado or a hero? Orozco’s death proved as controversial
as his storied life, a career of mysterious contradictions that Raymond Caballero
puzzles out in this book.
A long-overdue biography of a significant but little-known and less understood

figure of Mexican history, Orozco tells the full story of this revolutionary’s meteoric
rise and ignominious descent, including the purposely obscured circumstances of
his death at the hands of a lone, murderous lawman. That story—of an unknown
muleteer of Northwest Chihuahua who became the revolution’s most important
military leader, a national hero and idol, only to turn on his former revolutionary
ally Francisco Madero—is one of the most compelling narratives of early-twentieth- OCTOBER

Whereas other historians have struggled to make sense of this contradictory record,
Caballero brings to light Orozco’s bizarre appointment of an unknown con man
to administer his rebellion, a man whose background and character, once revealed,
explain many of Orozco’s previously baffling actions. The book also delves into the
peculiar history of Orozco’s homeland, offering new insight into why Northwest
Chihuahua, of all places in Mexico, produced the revolution’s military leadership,
in particular a champion like Pascual Orozco. From the circumstances of his ascent, THE GREAT CALL-UP

FITZPATRICK EMORY UPTON
figure in American military thought
Emory Upton
Misunderstood Reformer
By David J. Fitzpatrick
Emory Upton (1839–1881) is widely recognized as one of America’s most influential
military thinkers. His works—The Armies of Asia and Europe and The Military Policy
of the United States—fueled the army’s intellectual ferment in the late nineteenth
century and guided Secretary of War Elihu Root’s reforms in the early 1900s. Yet as
David J. Fitzpatrick contends, Upton is also widely misunderstood as an antidemocratic
militaristic zealot whose ideas were “too Prussian” for America. In this first full
biography in nearly half a century, Fitzpatrick, the leading authority on Upton, radically
revises our view of this important figure in American military thought.
A devout Methodist farm boy from upstate New York, Upton attended the United
States Military Academy at West Point and served in the Civil War. His use of a
VOLUME 60 IN THE CAMPAIGNS
mass infantry attack to break the Confederate lines at Spotsylvania Courthouse in
AND COMMANDERS SERIES 1864 identified him as a rising figure in the U.S. Army. Upton’s subsequent work on
military organizations in Asia and Europe, commissioned by Commanding General
JULY William T. Sherman, influenced the army’s turn toward a European, largely German
$39.95s CLOTH 978-0-8061-5720-7 ideal of soldiering as a profession. Yet it was this same text, along with Upton’s

BIOGRAPHY/MILITARY HISTORY of Upton—first by some contemporaries, and more recently by noted historians
Stephen Ambrose and Russell Weigley. By showing Upton’s dedication to the ideal
Of Related Interest of the citizen-soldier and placing him within the context of contemporary military,
political, and intellectual discourse, Fitzpatrick shows how Upton’s ideas clearly
grew out of an American military-political tradition.
Emory Upton: Misunderstood Reformer clarifies Upton’s influence on the army by

offering a new and necessary understanding of the military’s intellectual direction at
a critical juncture in American history.

In the years after the discovery of gold in California, thousands of fortune seekers
made their way west, joining the greatest mass migration in American history.
The gold fields were only one destination, as emigrants pushed across the Great
Plains, Great Basin, and Oregon Territory in unprecedented numbers, following the
Oregon, California, and Mormon Trails to the verdant Willamette Valley or Mormon
settlements in the Salt Lake Valley. “Seeing the Elephant” they often called the
journey, referring to the wondrous sights and endless adventures met along the way.

Utah and the American Civil War

The Written Record
Edited by Kenneth L. Alford
When Fort Sumter was attacked in April 1861, hundreds of soldiers were stationed
at the U.S. Army’s Camp Floyd, forty miles southwest of Salt Lake City. The
camp, established in June 1858, was the nation’s largest military post. Utah and
the American Civil War presents a wealth of primary sources pertaining to the
territory’s participation in the Civil War—material that until now has mostly been
scattered, incomplete, or difficult to locate. Organized and annotated for easy use,
this rich mix of military orders, dispatches, letters, circulars, battle and skirmish
reports, telegraph messages, command lists, and other correspondence shows how
Utah’s wartime experience was shaped by a peculiar blend of geography, religion,
and politics.

Dukes of Duval County

The Parr Family and Texas Politics
By Anthony R. Carrozza
The notorious Parr family manipulated local politics in South Texas for decades.
Archie Parr, his son George, and his grandson Archer relied on violence and
corruption to deliver the votes that propelled their chosen candidates to office. The
influence of the Parr political machine peaked during the 1948 senatorial primary,
when election officials found the infamous Ballot Box 13 six days after the polls
closed. That box provided a slim eighty-seven-vote lead to Lyndon B. Johnson,
initiating the national political career of the future U.S. president.
Dukes of Duval County begins with Archie Parr’s organization of the Mexican
American electorate into a potent voting bloc, which marked the beginning of his
three-decade campaign for control of every political office in Duval County and
the surrounding area. Archie’s son George, who expanded the Parrs’ dominion to
include jobs, welfare payments, and public works, became a county judge thanks to NOVEMBER

Johnson allowed George to take office once more. Further legal misadventures
haunted George and his successor, Archer, but in the end it took the combined

citizens to overthrow the Parr family.
In this first comprehensive study of the Parr family’s political activities, Anthony R.

that drove South Texas politics for more than seventy years and critically influenced

The Popular Frontier

Buffalo Bill’s Wild West and Transnational Mass Culture
Edited by Frank Christianson
When William F. Cody introduced his Wild West exhibition to European audiences
in 1887, the show soared to new heights of popularity and success. With its colorful
portrayal of cowboys, Indians, and the taming of the North American frontier,
Buffalo Bill’s Wild West popularized a myth of American national identity and
shaped European perceptions of the United States. The Popular Frontier is the first
collection of essays to explore the transnational impact and mass-cultural appeal of
Cody’s Wild West.
As editor Frank Christianson explains in his introduction, for the first four years
after Cody conceived it, the Wild West exhibition toured the United States, honing
the operation into a financially solvent enterprise. When the troupe ventured to

McINNIS WOMEN OF EMPIRE

Women of Empire
Nineteenth-Century Army Officers’ Wives
in India and the U.S. West
By Verity McInnis
In his Rules for Wife Behavior, Colonel Joseph Whistler summed up his
expectations for his new bride: “You will remember you are not in command
of anything except the cook.” Although their roles were circumscribed, the
wives of army officers stationed in British India and the U.S. West commanded
considerable influence, as Verity McInnis reveals in this comparative study of two
female populations in two global locations. Women of Empire adds a previously
unexplored dimension to our understanding of the connections between gender and
imperialism in the nineteenth century. McInnis examines the intersections of class,
race, and gender to reveal social spaces where female identity and power were both
contested and constructed.

imperial identity.

LAHTI WARS FOR EMPIRE
Wars for Empire

Apaches, the United States, and the Southwest Borderlands
By Janne Lahti
After the end of the U.S.-Mexican War in 1848, the Southwest Borderlands
remained hotly contested territory. Over following decades, the United States
government exerted control in the Southwest by containing, destroying, segregating,
and deporting indigenous peoples—in essence conducting an extended military
campaign that culminated with the capture of Geronimo and the forced removal of
the Chiricahua Apaches in 1886. In this book, Janne Lahti charts these encounters
and the cultural differences that shaped them. Wars for Empire offers a new
perspective on the conduct, duration, intensity, and ultimate outcome of one of
America’s longest wars.
Centuries of conflict with Spain and Mexico had honed Apache war-making
abilities and encouraged a culture based in part on warrior values, from physical
OCTOBER prowess and specialized skills to a shared belief in individual effort. In contrast,

to the U.S. invasion. Ultimately, new technologies, the expansion of Euro-American

Wars for Empire provides a new understanding of critical decades of American
imperial expansion and a moment in the history of settler colonialism with

ENGEL-PEARSON WRITING ARIZONA, 1912–2012

Writing Arizona, 1912–2012
A Cultural and Environmental Chronicle
By Kim Engel-Pearson
From the year of Arizona’s statehood to its centennial in 2012, narratives of
the state and its natural landscape have revealed—and reconfigured—the state’s
image. Through official state and federal publications, newspapers, novels, poetry,
autobiographies, and magazines, Kim Engel-Pearson examines narratives of
Arizona that reflect both a century of Euro-American dominance and a diverse and
multilayered cultural landscape.
Examining the written record at twenty-five-year intervals, Writing Arizona,

1912–2012 shows us how the state was created through the writings of both its
inhabitants and its visitors, from pioneer reminiscences of settling the desert to
modern stories of homelessness, and from early-twentieth-century Native American
“as-told-to” autobiographies to those written in Natives’ own words in the 1970s
and 1980s. Weaving together these written accounts, Engel-Pearson demonstrates SEPTEMBER

how government leaders’ and boosters’ promotion of tourism—often at the expense

of minority groups and the environment—was swiftly complicated by concerns U.S. HISTORY
about ethics, representation, and conservation.

Of Related Interest
Word by word, story by story, Engel-Pearson depicts an Arizona whose narratives
reflect celebrations of diversity and calls for conservation—yet, at the same time, a
state whose constitution declares only English words “official.” She reveals Arizona
to be constructed, understood, and inhabited through narratives, a state of words as
changeable as it is timeless.

From Praha to Prague

Czechs in an Oklahoma Farm Town
By Philip D. Smith
Around the turn of the twentieth century, thousands of Czechs left their homelands
in Bohemia and Moravia and came to the United States. While many settled in
major American cities, others headed to rural areas out west where they could claim
their own land for farming. In From Praha to Prague, Philip D. Smith examines how
the Czechs who founded and settled in Prague, Oklahoma, embraced the economic
and cultural activities of their American hometown while maintaining their ethnic
identity.
According to Smith, the Czechs of Prague began as a clannish group of farmers who
participated in the 1891 land run and settled in east-central Oklahoma. After the
town’s incorporation in 1902, settlers from other ethnic backgrounds swiftly joined
the fledgling community, and soon the original Czech immigrants found themselves

through local traditions such as participating in the Bohemian Hall society, burying

their dead in the town’s Czech National Cemetery, and holding the annual Kolache
Festival, a lively celebration that still draws visitors from around the world. As
a result, Smith notes, succeeding generations of Prague Czechs have proudly
considered themselves Czech Americans: firmly assimilated to mainstream American
culture but holding to an equally strong sense of belonging to a singular ethnic
group.

conquest of the American Southwest
Depredation and Deceit

The Making of the Jicarilla and Ute Wars in New Mexico
By Gregory F. Michno
The Trade and Intercourse Acts passed by Congress between 1796 and 1834 set
up a system for individuals to receive monetary compensation from the federal
government for property stolen or destroyed by American Indians. By the end of
the Mexican-American War, both Anglo-Americans and Nuevomexicanos became
experts in exploiting this system—and in using the army to collect on their often-
fraudulent claims. As Gregory F. Michno reveals in Depredation and Deceit, their
combined efforts created a precarious mix of false accusations, public greed, and
fabricated fear that directly led to new wars in the American Southwest between
1849 and 1855.
Tasked with responding to white settlers’ depredation claims and gaining restitution
directly from Indian groups, soldiers typically had no choice but to search out often-

greater army presence in the region, and lucrative military contracts became yet
another reason to encourage the continuation of frontier violence. Although the Of Related Interest

its duties as a constabulary force. And whenever war broke out, the acquisition of
more Indian land and wealth began the cycle of greed and violence all over again.
The Trade and Intercourse Acts were manipulated by Anglo-Americans who

“That’s What They Used to Say”

Reflections on American Indian Oral Traditions
By Donald L. Fixico
As a child growing up in rural Oklahoma, Donald Fixico often heard
“hvmakimata”—“that’s what they used to say”—a phrase Mvskoke Creeks and
Seminoles use to end stories. In his latest work, Fixico, who is Shawnee, Sac and
Fox, Mvskoke Creek, and Seminole, invites readers into his own oral tradition to
learn how storytelling, legends and prophecies, oral histories, and creation myths
knit together and explain the Indian world.
Interweaving the storytelling and traditions of his ancestors, Fixico conveys the
richness and importance of oral culture in Native communities and demonstrates
the power of the spoken word to bring past and present together, creating a shared
reality both immediate and historical for Native peoples. Fixico’s stories conjure
war heroes and ghosts, inspire fear and laughter, explain the past and foresee the
OCTOBER future—and through them he skillfully connects personal, familial, tribal, and

A pathbreaking exploration of Indigenous rhetoric
WIESER BACK TO THE BLANKET

Back to the Blanket
Recovered Rhetorics and Literacies in American Indian Studies
By Kimberly G. Wieser
For thousands of years, American Indian cultures have recorded their truths in the
narratives and metaphors of oral tradition. Stories, languages, and artifacts, such
as glyphs and drawings, all carry Indigenous knowledge, directly contributing to
American Indian rhetorical structures that have proven resistant—and sometimes
antithetical—to Western academic discourse. It is this tradition that Kimberly G.
Wieser seeks to restore in Back to the Blanket, as she explores the rich possibilities
that Native notions of relatedness offer for understanding American Indian
knowledge, arguments, and perspectives.
Back to the Blanket analyzes a wide array of American Indian rhetorical traditions,
then applies them in close readings of writings, speeches, and other forms of
communication by historical and present-day figures. Wieser turns this pathbreaking

rediscovery and practice of traditional Native modes of communication—a modern-

shows how these Indigenous insights might be applied in models of education for

The history of cultural exchange in the Four Corners

MCPHERSON BOTH SIDES OF THE BULLPEN
through the accounts of Navajos and traders
Both Sides of the Bullpen

Navajo Trade and Posts
Between 1880 and 1940, Navajo and Ute families and westward-trending Anglos
met in the “bullpens” of southwestern trading posts to barter for material goods.
As the products of the livestock economy of Navajo culture were exchanged for
the merchandise of an industrialized nation, a wealth of cultural knowledge also
changed hands. In Both Sides of the Bullpen, Robert S. McPherson reveals the ways
that Navajo tradition fundamentally reshaped and defined trading practices in the
Four Corners area of southeastern Utah and southwestern Colorado.
Drawing on oral histories of Native peoples and traders collected over thirty years
of research, McPherson explores these interactions from both perspectives, as wool,
blankets, and silver crossed the counter in exchange for flour, coffee, and hardware.
To succeed, traders had to meet the needs and expectations of their customers, often
OCTOBER interpreted through Navajo cultural standards. From the organization of the post

Over time, these posts evolved from ad hoc business ventures or profitable
cooperative stores into institutions with a clearly defined set of expectations

craft work, learning the financial circumstances of each Native family, following

The Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma

Resilence through Adversity
Edited by Stephen Warren
Non-Indians have amassed extensive records of Shawnee leaders dating back to
the era between the French and Indian War and the War of 1812. But academia has
largely ignored the stories of these leaders’ descendants—including accounts from
the Shawnees’ own perspectives. The Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma focuses
on the nineteenth- and twentieth-century experiences of the Eastern Shawnee Tribe,
presenting a new brand of tribal history made possible by the emergence of tribal
communities’ own research centers and the resources afforded by the digital age.
Offering various perspectives on the history of the Eastern Shawnees, this volume
combines essays by leading and emerging scholars of Shawnee history with
contributions by Eastern Shawnee citizens and interviews with tribal elders. Editor

A History, 2nd Edition
By Jon Reyhner and Jeanne Eder
Before Europeans arrived in North America, Indigenous peoples spoke more than
three hundred languages and followed almost as many distinct belief systems and
lifeways. But in childrearing, the different Indian societies had certain practices in
common—including training for survival and teaching tribal traditions. The history
of American Indian education from colonial times to the present is a story of how
Euro-Americans disrupted and suppressed these common cultural practices, and
how Indians actively pursued and preserved them.
American Indian Education recounts that history from the earliest missionary
and government attempts to Christianize and “civilize” Indian children to the
most recent efforts to revitalize Native cultures and return control of schools to
Indigenous peoples. Extensive firsthand testimony from teachers and students offers
NOVEMBER unique insight into the varying experiences of Indian education.

Building Yanhuitlan
Art, Politics, and Religion in the Mixteca Alta since 1500
By Alessia Frassani
Through years of fieldwork in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico, art historian and
archaeologist Alessia Frassani formulated a compelling question: How did
Mesoamerican society maintain its distinctive cultural heritage despite colonization
by the Spanish? In Building Yanhuitlan, she focuses on an imposing structure—a
sixteenth-century Dominican monastery complex in the village of Yanhuitlan.
For centuries, the buildings have served a central role in the village landscape
and the lives of its people. Ostensibly, there is nothing indigenous about the
complex or the artwork inside. So how does such a place fit within the Mixteca,

JACKSON FRONTIERS OF EVANGELIZATION
populations in frontier missions
Frontiers of Evangelization
Indians in the Sierra Gorda and Chiquitos Missions
By Robert H. Jackson
The Spanish crown wanted native peoples in its American territories to be evangelized,
and to that end facilitated the establishment of missions by various Catholic orders.
Focusing on the Franciscan missions of the Sierra Gorda in Northern New Spain
(Mexico) and the Jesuit missions of Chiquitos in what is now Bolivia, Frontiers of
Evangelization takes a comparative approach to understanding the experiences of
indigenous populations in missions on the frontiers of Spanish America.
Marshaling a wealth of data from sacramental, military, and census records, Robert H.
Jackson explores the many factors that influenced the stability of mission settlements,
including the indigenous communities’ previous subsistence patterns and family
structures, the evangelical techniques of the missionary orders, the social and political
organization within the mission communities, and epidemiology in relation to
JULY population density and mobility. The two orders, Jackson’s research shows, organized

Yet the most critical factor to the missions’ success, Jackson finds, was the indigenous
peoples’ existing demographic profile—in particular, their mobility. Nonsedentary

groups, like the Guaraní of Chiquitos, experienced robust growth and greater

Brasseur de Bourbourg’s Travels through Central
America and Mexico, 1854–1859
By Charles Étienne Brasseur de Bourbourg
Translated and edited by Katia Sainson
In two decades of traveling throughout Mexico, Central America, and Europe,
French priest Charles Étienne Brasseur de Bourbourg (1814–1874) amassed
hundreds of indigenous manuscripts and printed books, including grammars and
vocabularies that brought to light languages and cultures little known at the time.
Although his efforts yielded many of the foundational texts of Mesoamerican
studies—the pre-Columbian Codex Troana, the only known copies of the Popol
Vuh and the indigenous dance drama Rabinal-Achi, and Diego De Landa’s Relación
de la cosas de Yucatán—Brasseur earned disdain among scholars for his theories
linking Maya writings to the mythical continent of Atlantis. In The Manuscript VOLUME 84 IN THE AMERICAN

Magda Portal and the Dream of Revolution in Peru
By Myrna Ivonne Wallace Fuentes
In 1926 a young Peruvian woman picked up a gun, wrested her infant daughter
from her husband, and liberated herself from the constraints of a patriarchal society.
Magda Portal, a poet and journalist, would become one of Latin America’s most
successful and controversial politicians. In this richly nuanced portrayal of Portal,
historian Myrna Ivonne Wallace Fuentes chronicles the dramatic rise and fall of
this prominent twentieth-century revolutionary within the broader history of leftist
movements, gender politics, and literary modernism in Latin America.
An early member of bohemian circles in Lima, La Paz, and Mexico City, Portal
distinguished herself as the sole female founder of the American Popular
Revolutionary Alliance (APRA). A leftist but non-Communist movement, APRA
would dominate Peru’s politics for five decades. Through close analysis of primary

An accessible comparison of three classic epics
RIDD COMMUNICATION, LOVE, AND DEATH IN HOMER AND VIRGIL

Communication, Love, and
Death in Homer and Virgil
An Introduction
By Stephen Ridd
Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey and Virgil’s Aeneid are three of the most important—
and influential—works of Western classical literature. Although they differ in
subject matter and authorship, these epic poems share a common purpose: to tell
the “deeds both of men and of the gods.” Written in an accessible style and ideally
suited for classroom use, Communication, Love, and Death in Homer and Virgil
offers a unique comparative analysis of these classic works.
As author Stephen Ridd explains, the common themes of communication, love, and
death respond to “deeply ingrained human needs” and are therefore of perennial
interest. Presenting select passages from the original Greek and Latin texts—
translated here into modern English—Ridd explores in detail how the characters VOLUME 54 IN THE OKLAHOMA
SERIES IN CLASSICAL CULTURE
within the poems communicate on these subjects with one another as well as with
the reader. Individual chapters focus on subjects such as the traditions of singing
and storytelling, relationships between sons and mothers, the role of Helen of Troy AUGUST
$29.95s PAPER 978-0-8061-5729-0
and her ties to the men in her life, and communication with the dead. Throughout 272 PAGES, 6 × 9
his analysis, Ridd treats the three poems on an equal basis, revealing similarities and CLASSICAL STUDIES/GREEK/LATIN
differences in their handling of prevalent themes.

Of Related Interest
By introducing readers to a new way of reading these abiding classics,
Communication, Love, and Death in Homer and Virgil enhances our appreciation
of the imaginative world of ancient Greek and Roman epic poetry.
Retired from a forty-year teaching career, Stephen Ridd is the author of Julius
Caesar in Gaul and Britain.
