Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - California's earliest European colonists--Russian merchants and Spanish missionaries--depended heavily on Native Americans for labor to build and maintain their colonies, but they did so in very different ways. This richly detailed book brings together disparate skeins of the past--including little-known oral histories, native texts, ethnohistory, and archaeological excavations--to present a vivid new view of how native cultures fared under these two colonial systems. Kent Lightfoot's innovative work, which incorporates the holistic methods of historical anthropology, explores the surprising ramifications of these long-ago encounters for the present-day political status of native people in California.Lightfoot weaves the results of his own significant archaeological research at Fort Ross, a major Russian mercantile colony, into a cross-cultural comparison, showing how these two colonial ventures--one primarily mercantile and one primarily religious--contributed to the development of new kinds of native identities, social forms, and tribal relationships. His lively account includes personal anecdotes from the field and a provocative discussion of the role played by early ethnographers, such as Alfred Kroeber, in influencing which tribes would eventually receive federal recognition. Indians, Missionaries, and Merchants takes a fascinating, yet troubling, look at California's past and its role in shaping the state today.…

Zustand: Gut. Zustand: Gut | Seiten: 450 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Fort Ross State Historic Park is one of the oldest and most unique of California's state parks. Since 1988, archaeologists from the University of California, Berkeley, under the direction of Professor Kent Lightfoot, have conducted ongoing investigations of Fort Ross. Their work has revealed important details concerning life at the Russian settlement. In the past, interpretation at Fort Ross focused on the ethnic Russians who were perceived to have dominated the settlement. We now know that the Russians played a much smaller role in the settlement's daily affairs, and that the Native Alaskans (and the Native Californians) carried out the brunt of the work. This second volume in the series The Archaeology and Ethnohistory of Fort Ross, California, is a fitting commemoration of the people of Fort Ross. By examining the Native Alaskan Village, this volume helps to illuminate the population of the settlement that was relegated to the edges of history and public interpretation for many years.The volume includes 448 pages of text, 201 figures, 74 tables, and 29 appendices. …
