Book Synopsis Stories from Montana's Enduring Frontier by : John Clayton
Download or read book Stories from Montana's Enduring Frontier written by John Clayton and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-04-09 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the turn of the twentieth century, Montana started emerging from its rugged past. Permanent towns and cities, powered by mining, tourism, and trade, replaced ramshackle outposts. Yet Montana's frontier endured, both in remote pockets and in the wider cultural imagination. The frontier thus played a continuing role in Montanans' lives, often in fascinating ways. Author John Clayton has written extensively on these shifts in Montana history, chronicling the breadth of the frontier's legacy with this diverse collection of stories. Explore the remnants of Montana's frontier through stories of the Little Bighorn Battlefield, the Beartooth Highway, and the lost mining camp of Swift Current--and through legendary characters such as Charlie Russell, Haydie Yates, and "Liver-eating" Johnston.

Download or read book Washoe Redux written by Edan Strekal and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adding to the small body of historical and ethnohistorical scholarship on the Washoe Indians, including the works of James Downs, Jo Ann Nevers, and Mathew Makley, this thesis traces the route followed by the Washoe Indians of the eastern slope of the Sierra and Great Basin toward a reorganization of a tribal status and recognition of ancestral homelands, only achieved in the latter half of the twentieth century. The discovery of valuable minerals first in California and later in Utah territory (which would become Nevada) caused an influx of population from the outside world. The lives and cultures of indigenous peoples in the Far West were forever altered by these events. The Washoe, unlike many other groups of American Indians, never entered into treaties or agreements with the federal government. In the absence of treaty recognition, the Washoe were left without any land and subsequently no homes, subsisting on the fringe of the newly arrived white society for decades to come. A major focal point of this thesis is the legal struggle of the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California before the Indians Claims Commission created in 1946 to win compensation for land and resources lost to the expansion of the American nation. The legal process brought into focus the power of expert testimony, namely the anthropologists, Dr. Julian H. Steward and his lesser-known antagonist Dr. Omer Call Stewart in determining the outcome of the ICC decisions. The contrasting arguments of two anthropological viewpoints affected the status of not only the Washoe before the Indian Claims Commission, but also marked a milestone in the development of American anthropology in the twentieth century.

Book Synopsis You Can’t Eat Freedom by : Greta de Jong
Download or read book You Can’t Eat Freedom written by Greta de Jong and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two revolutions roiled the rural South after the mid-1960s: the political revolution wrought by the passage of civil rights legislation, and the ongoing economic revolution brought about by increasing agricultural mechanization. Political empowerment for black southerners coincided with the transformation of southern agriculture and the displacement of thousands of former sharecroppers from the land. Focusing on the plantation regions of Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi, Greta de Jong analyzes how social justice activists responded to mass unemployment by lobbying political leaders, initiating antipoverty projects, and forming cooperative enterprises that fostered economic and political autonomy, efforts that encountered strong opposition from free market proponents who opposed government action to solve the crisis. Making clear the relationship between the civil rights movement and the War on Poverty, this history of rural organizing shows how responses to labor displacement in the South shaped the experiences of other Americans who were affected by mass layoffs in the late twentieth century, shedding light on a debate that continues to reverberate today.

Book Synopsis Other People's Colleges by : Ethan W. Ris
Download or read book Other People's Colleges written by Ethan W. Ris and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-06-27 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "America's constant push to make its colleges and universities more efficient and more accountable is not a new phenomenon. Indeed, in Other People's Colleges, Ethan Ris argues that the reform impulse is baked into American higher education. For well over one hundred years, elite reformers have called for sweeping changes in the sector and raised existential questions about its sustainability. Colleges and universities have responded with a combination of resistance and acquiescence. The end result is a sector that has learned to accept top-down reform as part of its existence. When that reform is beneficial (offering major rewards for minor changes), colleges and universities know how to assimilate it. When it is hostile (attacking autonomy or values), they know how to resist it. In the early twentieth century, the "academic engineers," a cadre of elite, external reformers from foundations, businesses, and government, worked to reshape and reorganize the vast base of the higher education pyramid. Their reform efforts were largely directed at the lower tiers of higher education, but their efforts fell short, despite their wealth and power, leaving a legacy of successful resistance that affects every college and university in the United States. Today, another coalition of business leaders, philanthropists, and politicians are again demanding efficiency, accountability, and utility from American higher education. But top-down design is not destiny. Today's reform agenda in higher education should not be viewed as a new existential threat. It is a longstanding fact of life to be assimilated, diverted, or subverted on an ongoing basis"--
