Críticas
Myth & Memory injects an interesting and crucial "new" narrative into the historical record. -- Kelly Chaves * The Northern Mariner, Vol.XIX, No.1 * The essays provide a fascinating surf of "first contacts" from New Zealand, England, southern Africa, and the Pacific Northwest, from the eighteenth century to today [...]. A plentiful range of new approaches to the genre of the contact narrative distinguishes this impressively interdisciplinary collection, with contributions from historians, anthropologists, linguists, and literary critics. -- Sophie McCall * Canadian Literature, No.197, Summer 2008 * This convincing and solid collection encourages assessment and reassessment of contact narratives. ... Ten scholars from various fields, including history, anthropology, linguistics, and literature, engage in this informative work. ...Edited by University of Victoria historian John Sutton Lutz, the chapters in Myth and Memory integrate a number of global indigenous perspectives. Lutz's extensive insight regarding native and newcomer relations provides a solid basis for editorial expertise of this compendium. -- Corinne George, Simon Fraser University * H-Canada * Exhaustive research by the authoris into the extensive Culin archives held by the museum has produced a fascinating story of a museum career and of a collecting history. * Choice *
Reseña del editor
The Brooklyn Museum has played a major role in presenting and interpreting North American Native art. Its commitment to this field began in 1903, when R. Stewart Culin was appointed to head its new Department of Ethnology. During three trips to the Northwest in 1905, 1908, and 1911, Culin collaborated with Dr. Charles F. Newcombe and bought several pieces from Newcombe's own collection, including objects from the Haida, Kwakiutl, Nootka, and Salish as well as some Tlingit, Tsimshian, and Athapaskan pieces. By 1912 the museum's collection included more than 9,000 pieces. Objects of Myth and Memory is the first publication devoted to this fascinating and influential early collection. It includes two interpretive essays on Culin's career as well as 250 individual entries which illustrate and annotate his most important acquisitions. A visually stunning book, Objects of Myth and Memory presents masterworks of North American Indian art in a precise social and historical context and offers fascinating glimpses of the collecting process.

Zustand: Fine. No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; Still Gift Quality. 11.875 inches tall; 320 pages with b/w and color illustrations from photography. This volume offers a detailed exploration of the Brooklyn Museum's extensive collection of Native American art, providing both a comprehensive catalog and scholarly analysis. Published in 1991, it delves into the historical and cultural significance of the museum's holdings, while offering insights into the exhibition practices that have shaped its Native American collections. The book is structured into thematic sections, each providing a unique perspective on the art and its cultural context. Diana Fane examines the contributions of Stewart Culin, a pivotal figure in the collection's development, while Ira Jacknis analyzes the impact of Culin's exhibitions on public perceptions of Native American cultures. The collection is organized regionally, covering Native American groups from the Southwest, California, and the Northwest Coast, offering readers a thorough understanding of these diverse artistic traditions. Richly illustrated with color and black-and-white photographs, the book presents each artifact with care, connecting visual documentation to its cultural and historical significance. Academic essays complement the images, making it an essential resource for those interested in Native American art, museum studies, and the preservation of cultural heritage.
