Book Synopsis Unraveling Edward S. Curtis's The North American Indian by : Herman Cohen Stuart
Download or read book Unraveling Edward S. Curtis's The North American Indian written by Herman Cohen Stuart and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-06-08 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years 1900-1930, American photographer Edward S. Curtis realized his life’s work, the monumental twenty-volume book series The North American Indian (1907-1930). Over the years, this work has been both praised and criticized. In this comprehensive and innovative study, Herman Cohen Stuart corrects a number of persistent misconceptions about the way Curtis, for many the most image-defining and influential photographer of American Indians, has represented the indigenous peoples of North America. The author argues that Curtis was keenly aware of the major changes Native Americans faced in the early 20th century. As is demonstrated by a thorough – both quantitative and qualitative – analysis of both Curtis’s texts and photographic artwork, Curtis was deeply conscious of the fact that by, and even before, the turn of the century, Western influences had already made large inroads into Native American life. This book provides a reappraisal of Curtis's position during this complicated and trying period for Native Americans.

This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The traditional cultures of the Indians of the Great Plains?Lakotas, Cheyennes, Wichitas, Arikaras, Crows, Osages, Assiniboins, Comanches, Crees, and Mandans, among others?are recalled in stunning detail in this collection of photographs by Edward S. Curtis (1868?1952). Curtis is the best-known photographer of Native Americans because of his monumental work, The North American Indian (1907?1930), which consists of twenty portfolios of large photogravures and twenty volumes of text on more than eighty Indian groups in the West. He took pictures of Plains Indians for over twenty years, and his photographs reflect both prevailing attitudes about Indians and Curtis's own vision of differences among the Native peoples whom he photographed. ø Curtis's photographs have exerted an enduring influence?both positive and negative?on mainstream American culture. They have inspired countless books, articles, and photographic exhibitions, and they continue to appear on posters, postcards, and other souvenirs. Accompanying the remarkable array of images in this book are essays by leading scholars that place the photographs within their proper critical, cultural, and historical contexts. The scholars contributing to this work are Martha H. Kennedy, Martha A. Sandweiss, Mick Gidley, and Duane Niatum.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: See the UnseenAlmost 200 previously unpublished Edward Curtis images of Native Americans of the Great Plains region have now made it into the public eye. These tucked away photographs weren't chosen for Curtis' 20 volumes of The North American Indian. With 40,000 images said to have been taken, only 2,234 were included in Curtis' grand opus. Now, we get to see a portion of the pictures that Curtis ultimately did not choose. These are not rejects by any means; they are beautiful and hold important historical information. Many Native Americans have thanked the Curtis Legacy Foundation for the treasure of Curtis' work. These conversations have been so heartwarming and thought provoking that we want to share these with our readers. It is important that you hear directly from them, in their words. Passed down through the Curtis family for generations are also fragments of memoirs written by Edward, his son Harold, and daughter Florence. Be amazed at the stories not only of Curtis' personal travels but also of how his children remember their childhoods and traveling alongside him. What an adventure for all."We knew nothing of labor union hours. Field work was kept up to the minute. Our average working time for a six-month season would exceed sixteen hours a day. Sometimes we worked around the clock. The men who worked with me complained the Chief [Curtis] never gets tired. I'm not so sure about that, but at least I kept going." ~ Edward Curtis

Book excerpt: Long known as the Cannibal Dance, the Hamat̓sa is among the most important hereditary prerogatives of the Kwakwa̱ka̱ꞌwakw of British Columbia. Drawing on published texts, extensive archival research, and fieldwork, Writing the Hamat̓sa offers a critical survey of attempts to record, interpret, and prohibit the ceremony. Such textual mediation and Indigenous response over four centures helped transform the Hamat̓sa from a set of specific practices. into a generalized cultural icon. This meticulous work illuminates how Indigenous people contribute to, contest, and repurpose texts in the process of fashioning modern identities under settler colonialism.
