Lakhota

Lakhota

An Indigenous History

by Rani-Henrik Andersson and David C. Posthumus

The Lakȟóta are among the best-known Native American peoples. In popular culture and even many scholarly works, they were once lumped together with others and called the Sioux. This book tells the full story of Lakȟóta culture and society, from their origins to the twenty-first century, drawing on Lakȟóta voices and perspectives.
 

Shooting Arrows and Slinging Mud

Shooting Arrows and Slinging Mud

Custer, the Press, and the Little Bighorn

by James E. Mueller

The defeat of George Armstrong Custer and the Seventh Cavalry at the Battle of the Little Bighorn was big news in 1876. Newspaper coverage of the battle initiated hot debates about whether the U.S. government should change its policy toward American Indians and who was to blame for the army’s loss—the latter, an argument that ignites passion to this day.

Uncommon Anthropologist

Uncommon Anthropologist

Gladys Reichard and Western Native American Culture

by Nancy Mattina

Drawing on Reichard’s own writings and correspondence, this book provides an intimate picture of her small-town upbringing, the professional challenges she faced in male-centered institutions, and her quietly revolutionary contributions to anthropology.

We Do Not Want the Gates Closed between Us

We Do Not Want the Gates Closed between Us

Native Networks and the Spread of the Ghost Dance

by Justin Gage

Documenting the evolution and operation of intertribal networking, Gage demonstrates its effectiveness—and recognizes for the first time how, through Native activism, long-distance, intercultural communication persisted in the colonized American West.
 

Eastern Cherokee Stories

Eastern Cherokee Stories

A Living Oral Tradition and Its Cultural Continuance

by Sandra Muse Isaacs

Foreword by Joyce Dugan

In Eastern Cherokee Stories, Sandra Muse Isaacs uses the concepts of Gadugi and Duyvkta to explore the Eastern Cherokee oral tradition, and to explain how storytelling in this tradition—as both an ancient and a contemporary literary form—is instrumental in the perpetuation of Cherokee identity and culture.
 

Codex Sierra

Codex Sierra

A Nahuatl-Mixtec Book of Accounts from Colonial Mexico

by Kevin Terraciano

The first known record of an indigenous population’s integration into the trans-Atlantic economy, and of the impact of the trans-Pacific trade on a lucrative industry in the region, the Codex Sierra provides a unique window on the world of the Mixteca less than a generation after the conquest—a view rendered that much more precise, clear, and coherent by this new translation and commentary.
 

Cultural Contact and Linguistic Relativity among the Indians of Northwestern California

Cultural Contact and Linguistic Relativity among the Indians of Northwestern California

by Sean O'Neill

If language encapsulates worldview, as the principle of linguistic relativity suggests, then this region’s linguistic diversity is puzzling. Analyzing patterns of linguistic accommodation as seen in the semantics of space and time, grammatical classification, and specialized cultural vocabularies, O’Neill resolves the apparent paradox by assessing long-term effects of contact.

Horace

Horace

Epodes, Odes, and Carmen Saeculare

Edited and translated by Stephanie McCarter

Ideally suited for classroom use, in both classical literature and Latin language courses, this bilingual edition of Horace’s poetry is enhanced by an in-depth introduction, explanatory notes, reference maps, and a glossary of literary terms.
 

Gender and Sexuality in Juvenal’s Rome

Gender and Sexuality in Juvenal’s Rome

Satire 2 and Satire 6

by Chiara Sulprizio

Contributions by Sarah H. Blake

For students and scholars of gender and sexuality, these poems are crucial texts. Chiara Sulprizio’s lively translation, perfectly suited for classroom use, captures the vivid spirit of Juvenal’s poems, and her extensive notes enhance the volume’s appeal by explicating the poems from a gendered perspective.

Tonkawa Texts

Tonkawa Texts

A New Linguistic Edition

by Harry Hoijer

Edited and translated by Thomas R. Wier

Hoijer’s original transcriptions were largely unannotated and unglossed and were translated word for word, with no free English translation of full clauses. In this volume, Thomas R. Wier provides translations for each line of text along with morphological analysis of each Tonkawa word.
