Indian Cities

Histories of Indigenous Urbanization

Edited by Kent Blansett, Cathleen D. Cahill and Andrew Needham

All the contributions to this volume show how, from colonial times to the present day, Indigenous people have shaped and been shaped by urban spaces. Collectively they demonstrate that urban history and Indigenous history are incomplete without each other.
 

The Formation of Latin American Nations

The Formation of Latin American Nations

From Late Antiquity to Early Modernity

by Thomas Ward

This pioneering work brings the pre-Columbian and colonial history of Latin America home: rather than starting out in Spain and following Columbus and the conquistadores as they “discover” New World peoples, The Formation of Latin American Nations begins with the Mesoamerican and South American nations as they were before the advent of European colonialism—and only then moves on to the sixteenth-century Spanish arrival and its impact.
 

Watermelon Nights

Watermelon Nights

by Greg Sarris

Afterword by Reginald Dyck

First published in 1998, Watermelon Nights remains one of the few works of fiction to illuminate the experiences of urban Native Americans and is the only one to depict the historical conditions that shape a tribe’s rural-to-urban migration.
 

Massacring Indians

Massacring Indians

From Horseshoe Bend to Wounded Knee

by Roger L. Nichols

By offering a broader synthesis of the attacks, Massacring Indians uncovers a more disturbing truth: that slaughtering innocent people was routine practice for U.S. troops and their leaders.

Géneros de Gente in Early Colonial Mexico

Géneros de Gente in Early Colonial Mexico

Defining Racial Difference

by Robert C. Schwaller

Presenting a more complex picture of the ways difference came to be defined in colonial Mexico, this book exposes important tensions within Spanish colonialism and the developing social order. It affords a significant new view of the development and social experience of race—in early colonial Mexico and afterward.

Charity for and by the Poor

Charity for and by the Poor

Franciscan and Indigenous Confraternities in Mexico, 1527–1700

by Laura Dierksmeier

In Charity for and by the Poor, Laura Dierksmeier investigates how the reformed Franciscans’ commitment to evangelizing Mexico gave rise to an extensive network of local confraternities and their respective care institutions.
 

War in the Land of True Peace

War in the Land of True Peace

The Fight for Maya Sacred Places

by Brent K. S. Woodfill

From early struggles to remove foreign influence to present-day battles over land tenure and indigenous-run ecotourism parks, this book documents a continuity in Maya culture over several thousand years—and illuminates the world view, with its sense of personhood and religion so different from the West’s, that informs this enduring culture.
 

The Fifteenth Month

The Fifteenth Month

Aztec History in the Rituals of Panquetzaliztli

by John F. Schwaller

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 through for their insights into the historical development of the people.
 

Tombstone, Deadwood, and Dodge City

Tombstone, Deadwood, and Dodge City

Re-creating the Frontier West

by Kevin Britz and Roger L. Nichols

In Tombstone, Deadwood, and Dodge City, Kevin Britz and Roger L. Nichols conduct a tour of these iconic towns, revealing how over time they became repositories of western America’s defining myth. Beginning with the founding of the communities in the 1860s and 1870s, this book traces the circumstances, conversations, and clashes that shaped the settlements over the course of a century.
 

The Maya Calendar

The Maya Calendar

A Book of Months, 400–2000 CE

by Weldon Lamb

In this landmark study, Lamb’s investigations afford new insight into the agricultural, astronomical, ritual, and even political motivations behind names and dates in the Maya calendar. A history of descent and diffusion, of unexpected connectedness and longevity, The Maya Calendar offers readers a deep understanding of a foundational aspect of Maya culture.
