A new biography of a nineteenth-century colossus
ALEXANDER BRIGHAM YOUNG AND THE EXPANSION OF THE MORMON FAITH

Brigham Young and the Expansion
of the Mormon Faith
By Thomas G. Alexander
As president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Utah’s first
territorial governor, Brigham Young (1801–77) shaped a religion, a migration,
and the American West. He led the Saints to Utah, guided the establishment of
350 settlements, and inspired the Mormons as they weathered unimaginable trials
and hardships. Although he generally succeeded, some decisions, especially those
regarding the Mormon Reformation and the Black Hawk War, were less than
sound. In this new biography, historian Thomas G. Alexander draws on a lifetime of
research to provide an evenhanded view of Young and his leadership.
Following the murder in 1844 of church founder Joseph Smith, Young bore a heavy
responsibility: ensuring the survival and expansion of the church and its people.
Alexander focuses on Young’s leadership, his financial dealings, his relations with

non-Mormons, his families, and his own deep religious faith. Brigham Young and WESTERN BIOGRAPHIES
the Expansion of the Mormon Faith addresses such controversial issues as the
practice of polygamy (Young himself had fifty-five wives), relations and conflicts MAY

Alexander argues that he bore no direct responsibility for the tragedy. BIOGRAPHY/U.S. HISTORY
Young relied on the counsel of his associates, and at times, the Mormon people
Of Related Interest
pushed back to prevent him from implementing changes. In some cases, such as the
doctrine of blood atonement, the church leadership eventually rejected his views.
Yet on the whole, Brigham Young emerges as a multifaceted human figure, and as
a prophet revered by millions of LDS members, an inspired leader who successfully
led his people to a distant land where their community expanded and flourished.

Amon Carter
A Lone Star Life
By Brian A. Cervantez
Foreword by Bob Ray Sanders
Raised in a one-room log cabin in a small North Texas town, Amon G. Carter
(1879–1955) rose to become the founder and publisher of the Fort Worth Star-
Telegram, a seat of power from which he relentlessly promoted the city of Fort
Worth, amassed a fortune, and established himself as the quintessential Texan of
his era. The first in-depth, scholarly biography of this outsize character and civic
booster, Amon Carter: A Lone Star Life chronicles a remarkable life and places it in
the larger context of state and nation.
Though best known for the Star-Telegram, Carter also established WBAP, Fort
Worth’s first radio station, which in 1948 became the first television station in
the Southwest. He was responsible for bringing the headquarters of what would

MOULTON THE MORMON HANDCART MIGRATION

The Mormon Handcart Migration
“Tounge nor pen can never tell the sorrow”
By Candy Moulton
In 1856 the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints employed a new means
of getting converts to Great Salt Lake City who could not afford the journey
otherwise. They began using handcarts, thus initiating a five-year experiment that
has become a legend in the annals of Mormon and North American migration. Only
one in ten Mormon emigrants used handcarts, but of those 3,000 who did between
1856 and 1860, most survived the harrowing journey to settle Utah and become
members of a remarkable pioneer generation. Others were not so lucky. More than
200 died along the way, victims of exhaustion, accident, and, for a few, starvation
and exposure to late-season Wyoming blizzards. Now, Candy Moulton tells of their
successes, travails, and tragedies in an epic retelling of a legendary story.
The Mormon Handcart Migration traces each stage of the journey, from the
transatlantic voyage of newly converted church members to the gathering of the APRIL

of rough terrain, much of it roadless and some of it untrodden.
The LDS church now embraces the saga of the handcart emigrants—including
even the disaster that befell the Martin and Willie handcart companies in central
Wyoming in 1856—as an educational, faith-inspiring experience for thousands of
youth each year. Moulton skillfully weaves together scores of firsthand accounts

JOHNSON POLITICAL HELL-RAISER
Political Hell-Raiser
The Life and Times of Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana
By Marc C. Johnson
Burton K. Wheeler (1882-1975) may have been the most powerful politician
Montana ever produced, and he was one of the most influential—and
controversial—members of the United States Senate during three of the most
eventful decades in American history. A New Deal Democrat and lifelong opponent
of concentrated power—whether economic, military, or executive—he consistently
acted with a righteous personal and political independence that has all but
disappeared from the public sphere. Political Hell-Raiser is the first book to tell the
full story of Wheeler, a genuine maverick whose successes and failures were woven
into the political fabric of twentieth-century America.
Wheeler came of political age amid antiwar and labor unrest in Butte, Montana,
during World War I. As a crusading United States attorney, he battled Montana’s

famed law enforcement agency
The Texas Rangers in Transition

From Gunfighters to Criminal Investigators, 1921–1935
By Charles H. Harris III and Louis R. Sadler
Newly rich in oil money, and all the trouble it could buy, Texas in the years
following World War I underwent momentous changes—and those changes
propelled the transformation of the state’s storied Rangers. Charles H. Harris III
and Louis R. Sadler explore this important but relatively neglected period in the
Texas Rangers’ history in this book, a sequel to their award-winning The Texas
Rangers and the Mexican Revolution: The Bloodiest Decade, 1910–1920.
In a Texas awash in booze and oil in the Prohibition years, the Rangers found
themselves riding herd on gamblers and bootleggers, but also tasked with
everything from catching murderers to preventing circus performances on Sunday.
The Texas Rangers in Transition takes up the Rangers’ story at a time of political
turmoil, as the largely rural state was rapidly becoming urban. At the same time,
law enforcement was facing an epidemic of bank robberies, an increase in organized APRIL

Steeped in tradition, reluctant to change, the agency was reduced to its nadir in

Harris and Sadler document the further and final change that followed when, in
1935, the Texas Rangers were moved from the governor’s control to the newly
created Department of Public Safety. This proved a watershed in the Rangers’
history, marking their transformation into a modern law enforcement agency, the
elite investigative force that they remain to this day.

colorful and significant Western character
Comanche Jack Stilwell

Army Scout and Plainsman
By Clint E. Chambers and Paul H. Carlson
In 1863, the thirteen-year-old boy who would come to be called Comanche Jack
was sent to the well to fetch water. Instead, he joined a wagon train bound for
Santa Fe. Thus began the exploits of Simpson E. “Jack” Stilwell (1850–1903), a
man generally known for slipping through Indian lines to get help for some fifty
frontiersmen besieged by the Cheyenne at Beecher Island in 1868. Daring as his
part in the rescue might have been, it was only one noteworthy episode of many in
Comanche Jack Stilwell’s life—a life whose rollicking story is finally told here in full.
In his later years, Stilwell crafted his own legend as a celebrated raconteur. Authors
Clint E. Chambers (whose grandfather was Stilwell’s nephew) and Paul H. Carlson
scour the available primary and secondary sources to find the unvarnished truth
and remarkable facts behind the legend. In a crisp, fast-paced style, the narrative

Hit Your Brights

By Constance Squires
Hit Your Brights captures people in tough spots, often of their own making. Fusing
humor and tragedy, these thirteen gritty stories keep readers in suspense. Danger
lurks, the needle skips, the bomb goes off, and the empties pile up. Outcomes are
unpredictable, but the car always starts, and, sometimes, love wins.
Constance Squires casts the diminished circumstances of her characters with

swath of boom-and-bust middle America that often seems forgotten. Here,
marriages, families, and friendships all hit crisis points in a mutable world of army
bases, casinos, truck stops, churches, and bars.
Hit Your Brights showcases a virtuosic range of styles and perspectives. The title

CRUZ OTHER MUSICS
Other Musics
New Latina Poetry
Edited by Cynthia Cruz
Latina poets occupy an important place in today’s literary landscape. Coming
from diverse backgrounds, they share an understanding of what it means to exist
within the margins of society. As artists, they possess a dedication to their craft
and a commitment to experimentation. Their voices—sometimes lyrical, sometimes
autobiographical, sometimes politically charged—are distinctly female. Whereas
previous anthologies have merged the works of Latino and Latina poets, this
collection is the first to showcase Latina poetry on its own terms.
For years readers have admired the poetry of prominent Latina authors Cherrie
Moraga, Ana Castillo, and Sandra Cisneros. Building on their inspirational legacy,
Other Musics heralds a new generation of Latina poets whose work blends

accomplished contemporary novelists
Coloratura
By Li Er
Translated by Jeremy Tiang
Li Er, whose innovative works of fiction have earned the admiration of scholars and
critics—and a passionate fan base of readers—is one of China’s most prominent
writers. This landmark publication of his Coloratura, a tour de force of literary
innovation, marks the first translation of the author’s novels into English.
Set against the turbulent backdrop of the Chinese Civil War, Coloratura revolves
around the mysterious Ge Ren, whose story is told by three narrators and a host of
other voices. Who was Ge Ren really? Just about the only thing anyone can agree
on is that he is dead. But how he died, and who he was when alive, are less than
certain. Was Ge Ren a hero, a Nationalist or Communist, a poet, translator, scholar,
or spy—or some combination of all these identities? And how much of his story is
merely fanciful “coloratura” nonsense?

As different factions fight for control of China, Ge Ren traverses the political and

The search for Ge Ren takes us from Chairman Mao’s stronghold at Yan’an to a

Japan, and even a small town in England. Many of the characters and incidents are

Told with swashbuckling brio and painstaking historical detail, Coloratura is both
an illuminating journey through twentieth-century Chinese history and a profound
exploration of the elusive nature of truth. RECORD OF REGRET

Eanger Irving Couse

The Life and Times of an American Artist, 1866–1936
By Virginia Couse Leavitt
Eanger Irving Couse (1866–1936) showed remarkable promise as a young art
student. His lifelong interest in Native American cultures also started at an early
age, inspired by encounters with Chippewa Indians living near his hometown,
Saginaw, Michigan. After studying in Europe, Couse began spending summers in
New Mexico, where in 1915 he helped found the famous Taos Society of Artists,
serving as its first president and playing a major role in its success. This richly
illustrated volume, featuring full-color reproductions of his artwork, is the first
scholarly exploration of Couse’s noteworthy life and artistic achievements.

Painting Culture, Painting Nature

Stephen Mopope, Oscar Jacobson, and the
Development of Indian Art in Oklahoma
By Gunlög Fur
In the late 1920s, a group of young Kiowa artists, pursuing their education at the
University of Oklahoma, encountered Swedish-born art professor Oscar Brousse
Jacobson (1882–1966). With Jacobson’s instruction and friendship, the Kiowa Six,
as they are now known, ignited a spectacular movement in American Indian art.
Jacobson, who was himself an accomplished painter, shared a lifelong bond with
group member Stephen Mopope (1898–1974), a prolific Kiowa painter, dancer, and
musician. Painting Culture, Painting Nature explores the joint creativity of these
two visionary figures and reveals how indigenous and immigrant communities of
the early twentieth century traversed cultural, social, and racial divides.

PRESCOTT PIONEER MOTHER MONUMENTS
Pioneer Mother Monuments

Constructing Cultural Memory
By Cynthia Culver Prescott
For more than a century, American communities erected monuments to western
pioneers. Although many of these statues receive little attention today, the images
they depict—sturdy white men, saintly mothers, and wholesome pioneer families—
enshrine prevailing notions of American exceptionalism, race relations, and gender
identity. Pioneer Mother Monuments is the first book to delve into the long and
complex history of remembering, forgetting, and rediscovering pioneer monuments.
In this book, historian Cynthia Culver Prescott combines visual analysis with
a close reading of primary source documents. Examining some two hundred
monuments erected in the United States from the late nineteenth century to the
present, Prescott begins her survey by focusing on the earliest pioneer statues,
which celebrated the strong white men who settled—and conquered—the West. By

How Southern California Indian communities combined
TRAFZER FIGHTING INVISIBLE ENEMIES

Western and Native medicine in fighting infectious disease
Fighting Invisible Enemies

Health and Medical Transitions among Southern California Indians
By Clifford E. Trafzer
Native Americans long resisted Western medicine—but had less power to resist the
threat posed by Western diseases. And so, as the Office of Indian Affairs entered the
business of health and medicine, Native peoples reluctantly began to allow Western
medicine into their communities. Fighting Invisible Enemies traces this transition
among inhabitants of the Mission Indian Agency of Southern California from the
late nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth century.
What historian Clifford E. Trafzer describes is not so much a transition from one
practice to another, but a gradual incorporation of Western medicine into Indian
medical practices. Melding indigenous and medical history specific to Southern
California, his book combines statistical information and documents from the
federal government with the oral narratives of several tribes. Many of these oral
histories—detailing traditional beliefs about disease causation, medical practices, MAY

communities. Among the factors he cites as impelling the change were settler-borne
diseases, the negative effects of federal Indian policies, and the sincere desire of
both Indians and agency doctors and nurses to combat the spread of disease. Here

California, this cooperative effort proved positive and constructive, resulting in
fewer deaths from infectious diseases, especially tuberculosis.

Pueblo Sovereignty
Indian Land and Water in New Mexico and Texas
By Malcolm Ebright and Rick Hendricks
Over five centuries of foreign rule—by Spain, Mexico, and the United States—
Native American pueblos have confronted attacks on their sovereignty and
encroachments on their land and water rights. How five New Mexico and Texas
pueblos did this, in some cases multiple times, forms the history of cultural
resilience and tenacity chronicled in Pueblo Sovereignty by two of New Mexico’s
most distinguished legal historians, Malcolm Ebright and Rick Hendricks.
Extending their award-winning work Four Square Leagues, Ebright and Hendricks
focus here on four New Mexico Pueblo Indian communities—Pojoaque, Nambe,
Tesuque, and Isleta—and one now in Texas, Ysleta del Sur. The authors trace the
complex tangle of conflicting jurisdictions and laws these pueblos faced when
defending their extremely limited land and water resources. The communities often
MARCH met such challenges in court and, sometimes, as in the case of Tesuque Pueblo in

Although some of these defenses led to stunning victories, all five pueblos
experienced serious population declines. Some were even temporarily abandoned.

ultimately have survived and thrived, is a testimony to their resilience. Their stories,
documented here in extraordinary detail, are critical to a complete understanding of

Native Southerners
Indigenous History from Origins to Removal
By Gregory D. Smithers
Long before the indigenous people of southeastern North America first encountered
Europeans and Africans, they established communities with clear social and
political hierarchies and rich cultural traditions. Award-winning historian Gregory
D. Smithers brings this world to life in Native Southerners, a sweeping narrative
of American Indian history in the Southeast from the time before European
colonialism to the Trail of Tears and beyond.
In the Native South, as in much of North America, storytelling is key to an

understanding of origins and tradition—and the stories of the indigenous people of
the Southeast are central to Native Southerners. Spanning territory reaching from
modern-day Louisiana and Arkansas to the Atlantic coast, and from present-day
Tennessee and Kentucky through Florida, this book gives voice to the lived history

Cradles of the Great Plains Indians
By Deanna Tidwell Broughton
For centuries indigenous communities of North America have used carriers to keep
their babies safe. Among the Indians of the Great Plains, rigid cradles are both
practical and symbolic, and many of these cradleboards—combining basketry
and beadwork—represent some of the finest examples of North American Indian
craftsmanship and decorative art. This lavishly illustrated volume is the first full-

and many other Great Plains cultures.

including oral histories and interviews with Native artists—to explore the forms,

to rebound. Beginning with events leading to the Seneca Revolution in 1848, which
transformed the nation’s government from a council of chiefs to an elected system,
Laurence M. Hauptman traces Seneca history through the New Deal. Based on
the author’s nearly fifty years of archival research, interviews, and applied work,
Coming Full Circle shows that Seneca leaders in these years learned valuable lessons
and adapted to change, thereby preparing the nation to meet the challenges it
would face in the post–World War II era, including major land loss and threats of
termination.

The Seneca Nation also achieved noteworthy political successes in this period. The

Rosebud, June 17, 1876

Prelude to the Little Big Horn
By Paul L. Hedren
The Battle of the Rosebud may well be the largest Indian battle ever fought in the
American West. The monumental clash on June 17, 1876, along Rosebud Creek
in southeastern Montana pitted George Crook and his Shoshone and Crow allies
against Sioux and Northern Cheyennes under Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. It
set the stage for the battle that occurred eight days later when, just twenty-five
miles away, George Armstrong Custer blundered into the very same village that
had outmatched Crook. Historian Paul L. Hedren presents the definitive account
of this critical battle, from its antecedents in the Sioux campaign to its historic
consequences.
Rosebud, June 17, 1876 explores in unprecedented detail the events of the spring
and early summer of 1876. Drawing on an extensive array of sources, including
APRIL government reports, diaries, reminiscences, and a previously untapped trove of

thereafter not to pursue his adversary. The result is a uniquely comprehensive view
of an engagement that made history and then changed its course.

MORTENSON POLITICIAN IN UNIFORM

Politician in Uniform
General Lew Wallace and the Civil War
By Christopher R. Mortenson
Lew Wallace (1827–1905) won fame for his novel, Ben-Hur, and for his negotiations
with William H. Bonney, aka Billy the Kid, during the Lincoln County Wars of
1878–81. He was a successful lawyer, a notable Indiana politician, and a capable
military administrator. And yet, as history and his own memoir tell us, Wallace
would have traded all these accolades for a moment of military glory in the Civil
War to save the Union. Where previous accounts have sought to discredit or defend
Wallace’s performance as a general in the war, author Christopher R. Mortenson
takes a more nuanced approach. Combining military biography, historical analysis,
and political insight, Politician in Uniform provides an expanded and balanced
view of Wallace’s military career—and offers the reader a new understanding of the
experience of a voluntary general like Lew Wallace.

The Recollections of John Benton Hart, 1864–1868
Edited by John Hart
By John Benton Hart
In 1918, urged on by his son Harry, John Benton Hart began to tell stories of a
three-year period in his youth. He recalled his days as a trooper in the Eleventh
Kansas Cavalry, fighting in Missouri and on the frontier, and his time as a civilian
jack-of-all-trades doing risky work for the U.S. Army on the Wyoming-Montana
Bozeman Trail in the middle of the Indian resistance campaign known as Red
Cloud’s War. Once started, John Benton Hart became an enthusiastic raconteur,
describing events with an almost cinematic vividness, while his son, an aspiring
writer, documented his father’s testimony in what became several manuscripts.
Compiled and reproduced here, edited by historian John Hart, John Benton Hart’s
great-grandson, this memoir is a singular document of living history.

WADLE SELLING SEA POWER

growth of the modern U.S. Navy
Selling Sea Power

Public Relations and the U.S. Navy, 1917–1941
By Ryan D. Wadle
The accepted narrative of the interwar U.S. Navy is one of transformation from
a battle-centric force into a force that could fight on the “three planes” of war:
in the skies, on the water, and under the waves. The political and cultural tumult
that accompanied this transformation is another story. Ryan D. Wadle’s Selling Sea
Power explores this little-known but critically important aspect of naval history.
After World War I, the U.S. Navy faced numerous challenges: a call for naval arms
limitation, the ascendancy of air power, and budgetary constraints exacerbated
by the Great Depression. Selling Sea Power tells the story of how the navy met
these challenges by engaging in protracted public relations campaigns at a time
when the means and methods of reaching the American public were undergoing
dramatic shifts. While printed media continued to thrive, the rapidly growing film
and radio industries presented new mediums through which the navy could connect MARCH

successful manipulation of mass media. At the same time, he analyzes what the
public could actually see of the service in the variety of media available to them,
including visual examples from progressively more sophisticated—and effective— Of Related Interest
public relations campaigns.
Integrating military policy and strategy with the history of American culture and
politics, Selling Sea Power offers a unique look at the complex links between the
evolution of the art and industry of persuasion and the growth of the modern U.S.
Navy, as well as the connections between the workings of communications and
public relations and the command of military and political power. BATTLESHIP OKLAHOMA BB-37

How traditional ground units responded

HENNING HARNESSING THE AIRPLANE
to early aeronautical innovation
Harnessing the Airplane

American and British Cavalry Responses to
a New Technology, 1903–1939
By Lori A. Henning
At its dawn in the early twentieth century, the new technology of aviation posed
a crucial question to American and British cavalry: what do we do with the
airplane? Lacking the hindsight of historical perspective, cavalry planners based
their decisions on incomplete information. Harnessing the Airplane compares how
the American and British armies dealt with this unique challenge. A multilayered
look at a critical aspect of modern industrial warfare, this book examines the
ramifications of technological innovation and its role in the fraught relationship
that developed between traditional ground units and emerging air forces.
Cavalry officers pondered the potential military uses of airplanes and other
new technologies early on, but preferred to test them before embracing and

protection, and pursuit—a collaboration tested in maneuvers and officially blessed
in both British and American doctrine. This interdependent relationship changed
drastically, however, during the 1930s as aviation priorities and doctrine shifted
from tactical support of ground troops toward independent strategic bombardment.
Henning shows that the American and British experiences with military
aviation differed. The nascent British aviation service made quicker inroads

Drawing on contemporary government reports, memoirs and journals of service

personnel, books, and professional and trade journals and magazines, Harnessing

and presents a new perspective on a significant chapter of twentieth-century mili-
tary history.

A critical new look at maritime missions of the early republic
ARMSTRONG SMALL BOATS AND DARING MEN

Small Boats and Daring Men
Maritime Raiding, Irregular Warfare, and the Early American Navy
By Benjamin Armstrong
Two centuries before the daring exploits of Navy SEALs and Marine Raiders
captured the public imagination, the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps were already
engaged in similarly perilous missions: raiding pirate camps, attacking enemy ships
in the dark of night, and striking enemy facilities and resources on shore. Even John
Paul Jones, father of the American navy, saw such irregular operations as critical to
naval warfare. With Jones’s own experience as a starting point, Benjamin Armstrong
sets out to take irregular naval warfare out of the shadow of the blue water battles
that dominate naval history. This book, the first historical study of its kind, makes a
compelling case for raiding and irregular naval warfare as a key element in the story
of American sea power.
Beginning with the Continental Navy, Small Boats and Daring Men traces

modern-day Libya to the rivers and inlets of the Chesapeake Bay. At the same

brings a uniquely informed perspective to his subject; and his work—with reference 12 B&W ILLUS., 1 MAP

Southern Gambit
Cornwallis and the British March to Yorktown
By Stanley D. M. Carpenter
In a world rife with conflict and tension, how does a great power prosecute an
irregular war at a great distance within the context of a regional struggle, all within
a global competitive environment? The question, so pertinent today, was confronted
by the British nearly 250 years ago during the American War for Independence. And
the answer, as this book makes plain, is: not the way the British, under Lieutenant
General Charles, Earl Cornwallis, went about it in the American South in the years
1778–81. Southern Gambit presents a closely observed, comprehensive account
of this failed strategy. Approaching the campaign from the British perspective,
this book restores a critical but little-studied chapter to the narrative of the
Revolutionary War—and in doing so, it adds detail and depth to our picture of
Cornwallis, an outsized figure in the history of the British Empire.

KAUFMAN MAPPING WOODY GUTHRIE

Mapping Woody Guthrie
By Will Kaufman
“I ain’t got no home, I’m just a-roamin’ round,” Woody Guthrie lamented in one
of his most popular songs. A native of Oklahoma, he was still in his teens when
he moved to Pampa, Texas, where he experienced the dust storms that would play
such a crucial role in forming his identity and shaping his work. He later joined
thousands of Americans who headed to California to escape the devastation of the
Dust Bowl. There he entered the West Coast stronghold of the Popular Front, whose
leftward influence on his thinking would continue after his move in 1940 to New
York, where the American folk music renaissance began when Guthrie encountered
Pete Seeger and Lead Belly.
Guthrie kept moving throughout his life, making friends, soaking up influences, and
writing about his experiences. Along the way, he produced more than 3,000 songs,
as well as fiction, journalism, poetry, and visual art, that gave voice to the distressed

Before his death from Huntington’s disease in 1967, Guthrie had one more
important trip to take: to the Florida swamplands of Beluthahatchee, in the heart

racism—a portion of his work that scholars have tended to overlook.

Foreword by Quintard Taylor
In 1927, Beatrice Cannady succeeded in removing racist language from the Oregon
Constitution. During World War II, Rowena Moore fought for the right of black
women to work in Omaha’s meat packinghouses. In 1942, Thelma Paige used the
courts to equalize the salaries of black and white schoolteachers across Texas. In
1950 Lucinda Todd of Topeka laid the groundwork for the landmark Supreme
Court decision Brown v. Board of Education. These actions—including sit-ins
long before the Greensboro sit-ins of 1960—occurred well beyond the borders of
the American South and East, regions most known as the home of the civil rights
movement. By considering social justice efforts in western cities and states, Black

Language Education and Citizenship in
Twentieth-Century Los Angeles
By Zevi Gutfreund
When Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Bilingual Education Act of 1968, language
learning became a touchstone in the emerging culture wars. Nowhere was this more
apparent than in Los Angeles, where elected officials from both political parties had
supported the legislation, and where the most disruptive protests over it occurred.
The city, with its diverse population of Latinos and Asian Americans, is the ideal
locus for Zevi Gutfreund’s study of how language instruction informed the social
construction of American citizenship. Combining the history of language instruction,
school desegregation, and civil rights activism as it unfolded in Japanese American
and Mexican American communities in L.A., this timely book clarifies the critical
and evolving role of language instruction in twentieth-century American politics.

The Maya’s millennia-long struggle to

protect their sacred landscape
War in the Land of True Peace

The Fight for Maya Sacred Places
By Brent K. S. Woodfill
For the ancient and modern Maya, the landscape is ruled by powerful entities in the
form of geographic features like caves, mountains, springs, and abandoned cities—
spirits who must be entreated, through visits and rituals, for permission to plant,
harvest, build, or travel their territories. Consequently, such places have served as
points of domination and resistance over the millennia—and nowhere is this truer
than in Guatemala’s Northern Transversal Strip, the subject of Brent K. S. Woodfill’s
War in the Land of True Peace.
This strategic region with its wealth of resources—fertile soil, petroleum, and the
only non-coastal salt in the Maya lowlands—is the site of some of the most sacred
Maya places, and thus also the focus of some of the signal struggles for power in
Maya history. In War in the Land of True Peace Woodfill delves into archaeology,
epigraphy, ethnohistory, and ethnography to write the biographies of several of MAY

YAHALOM CARING FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE CLOUDS
Caring for the People of the Clouds

Aging and Dementia in Oaxaca
By Jonathan Yahalom
Foreword by Xavier E. Cagigas
In rural Mexico, people often say that Alzheimer’s does not exist. “People do not
have Alzheimer’s because they don’t need to worry,” said one Oaxacan, explaining
that locals lack the stresses that people face “over there”—that is, in the modern
world. Alzheimer’s and related dementias carry a stigma. In contrast to the way
elders are revered for remembering local traditions, dementia symbolizes how
modern families have forgotten the communal values that bring them together.
In Caring for the People of the Clouds, psychologist Jonathan Yahalom provides
an emotionally evocative, story-rich analysis of family caregiving for Oaxacan
elders living with dementia. Based on his extensive research in a Zapotec
community, Yahalom presents the conflicted experience of providing care in a

LATIN AMERICA those ideals today. Yahalom looks at how dementia is understood in a medically
pluralist landscape, how it is treated in a setting marked by social tension, and how
Of Related Interest caregivers endure challenges among their families and the broader community.
Yahalom argues that caregiving involves more than just a response to human
dependency; it is central to regenerating local values and family relationships
threatened by broader social change. In so doing, the author bridges concepts
in mental health with theory from medical anthropology. Unique in its
interdisciplinary approach, this book advances theory pertaining to cross-cultural

Explores a key month in the Aztec calendar
SCHWALLER THE FIFTEENTH MONTH

The Fifteenth Month

Aztec History in the Rituals of Panquetzaliztli
By John F. Schwaller
The Mexica (Aztecs) used a solar calendar made up of eighteen months, with each
month dedicated to a specific god in their pantheon and celebrated with a different
set of rituals. Panquetzaliztli, the fifteenth month, dedicated to the national god
Huitzilopochtli (Hummingbird on the Left), was significant for its proximity to
the winter solstice, and for the fact that it marked the beginning of the season of
warfare. In The Fifteenth Month, John F. Schwaller offers a detailed look at how
the celebrations of Panquetzaliztli changed over time and what these changes reveal
about the history of the Aztecs.
Drawing on a variety of sources, Schwaller deduces that prior to the rise of

the Mexica in 1427, an earlier version of the month was dedicated to the god
Tezcatlipoca (Smoking Mirror), a war and trickster god. The Mexica shifted the
dedication to their god, developed a series of ceremonies—including long-distance MAY

investigation shows how the resulting festival commemorated several important
moments in Mexica history, how it came to include ceremonies associated with the Of Related Interest
winter solstice, and how it reflected a calendar reform implemented shortly before
the arrival of the Spanish.
Focused on one of the most important months in the Mexica year, Schwaller’s work
marks a new methodology in which traditional sources for Mexica culture, rather
than being interrogated for their specific content, are read for their insights into the
historical development of the people. Just as Christmas re-creates the historic act of TLACAELEL REMEMBERED

By Aaron Pollack
Translated by Nancy Hancock
Central America was the only part of the far-reaching Spanish Empire in continental
America not to experience destructive independence wars in the period between
1810 and 1824. The essays in this volume draw on new historical research to ex-
plain why, and to delve into what did happen during the independence period in
Central America and Chiapas. The contributors, distinguished scholars from Central
America, North America, and Europe, consider themes of power, rebellion, sover-
eignty, and resistance throughout the Kingdom of Guatemala beginning in the late
eighteenth century and ending with independence from Spain and the debate sur-
rounding the decision to join the Mexican Empire. Their work reveals that a “con-
flict-free” separation from Spain was more complex than is usually understood, and
APRIL shows how such a separation was crucial to later nineteenth-century developments.

and Sicilian Expedition
A Student Commentary
By Martha C. Taylor
Best known for his account of the Peloponnesian War, Thucydides (c. 454–c. 395
b.c.) was an Athenian general and historian. This valuable commentary addresses
the most famous part of Thucydides’s narrative: the Sicilian Expedition (books
6–8.1), which resulted in a major defeat for Athens. Designed for advanced under-
graduate and graduate students of Greek, Martha C. Taylor’s student-friendly text is
the first single volume in more than a century to focus on the expedition and the first
to include the Melian Dialogue (5.84–116), considered the “prelude” to the invasion.
Many beginning readers of Thucydides require assistance with the author’s often
difficult constructions. In her notes to the text, Taylor breaks down Thucydides’s
convoluted sentences and explains them piece by piece. Her notes also explain the VOLUME 57 IN THE OKLAHOMA

In addition to textual and historical commentary, this volume includes three maps;
