Описание: " Theoretically sophisticated and empirically well-grounded. Sets a course for exciting new directions in archaeology at the edge of the American South and the broader Caribbean world. " --Christopher B. Rodning, coeditor of Archaeological Studies of Gender in the Southeastern United States " Successfully repositions the story of Florida's native peoples from the peripheries of history and anthropology to center stage. " --Thomas E. Emerson, author of Cahokia and the Archaeology of Power " If you thought you understood the Native settlement of Florida, read this and think again. The research and thinking that have taken place in recent decades, highlighted in this volume, have markedly changed our understanding, revealing a past far more interesting and richly constituted than anything previously considered." --David G. Anderson, coauthor of Recent Developments in Southeastern Archaeology " Provides a fresh perspective on Florida's past and how its Native American inhabitants created the world in which they lived." --Richard W. Jefferies, author of Holocene Hunter-Gatherers of the Lower Ohio River Valley: From the Falls to the Confluence
Given its pivotal location between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, its numerous islands, its abundant flora and fauna, and its subtropical climate, Florida has long been ideal for human habitation. Representing the next wave of southeastern archaeology, the essays in this book resoundingly argue that Florida is a crucial hub of archaeological inquiry. Contributors use new data to challenge well-worn models of environmental determinism and localized social contact. Themes of monumentality, human alterations of landscapes, the natural environment, ritual and mortuary practices, and coastal adaptations demonstrate the diversity, empirical richness, and broader anthropological significance of Florida's aboriginal past.

Описание: In the late eighteenth century, Hawai'i's ruling elite employed sophisticated methods for resisting foreign intrusion. By the mid-nineteenth century, however, American missionaries had gained a foothold in the islands. Jennifer Thigpen explains this important shift by focusing on two groups of women: missionary wives and high-ranking Hawaiian women. Examining the enduring and personal exchange between these groups, Thigpen argues that women's relationships became vital to building and maintaining the diplomatic and political alliances that ultimately shaped the islands' political future. Male missionaries' early attempts to Christianise the Hawaiian people were based on racial and gender ideologies brought with them from the mainland, and they did not comprehend the authority of Hawaiian chiefly women in social, political, cultural, and religious matters. It was not until missionary wives and powerful Hawaiian women developed relationships shaped by Hawaiian values and traditions--which situated Americans as guests of their beneficent hosts--that missionaries successfully introduced Christian religious and cultural values. Incisively written and meticulously researched, Thigpen's book sheds new light on American and Hawaiian women's relationships, illustrating how they ultimately provided a foundation for American power in the Pacific and hastened the colonisation of the Hawaiian nation.
