World's fairs and industrial expositions constituted a phenomenally
successful popular culture movement during the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries. In addition to the newest technological
innovations, each exposition showcased commercial and cultural
exhibits, entertainment concessions, national and corporate
displays of wealth, and indigenous peoples from the colonial
empires of the host country. As scientists claiming specialized
knowledge about indigenous peoples, especially American Indians,
anthropologists used expositions to promote their quest for
professional status and authority. Anthropology Goes to the Fair
takes readers through the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition to see
how anthropology, as conceptualized by W J McGee, the first
president of the American Anthropological Association, showcased
itself through programs, static displays, and living exhibits for
millions of people "to show each half of the world how the other
half lives." More than two thousand Native peoples negotiated and
portrayed their own agendas on this world stage. The reader will
see how anthropology itself was changed in the process. Nancy J.
Parezo is a professor of American Indian studies and anthropology
at the University of Arizona and the curator of ethnology at the
Arizona State Museum. She is the editor of Hidden Scholars: Women
Anthropologists and the Native American Southwest. Don D. Fowler is
a professor of anthropology, emeritus, at the University of Nevada,
Reno. He is the author of A Laboratory for Anthropology: Science
and Romanticism in the American Southwest, 1846-1930.

Cultural Resource Management (CRM) refers to the discovery,
evaluation, and preservation of culturally significant sites,
focusing on but not limited to archaeological and historical sites
of significance. CRM stems from the National Historic Preservation
Act, passed in 1966. In 1986, archaeologists reviewed the practice
of CRM in the Great Basin. They concluded that it was mainly a
system of finding, flagging, and avoiding- a means of keeping sites
and artifacts safe. Success was measured by counting the number of
sites recorded and acres surveyed. This volume provides an updated
review some thirty years later. The product of a 2016 symposium,
its measures are the increase in knowledge obtained through CRM
projects and the inclusion of tribes, the general public, industry,
and others in the discovery and interpretation of Great Basin
prehistory and history. Revealing both successes and shortcomings,
it considers how CRM can face the challenges of the future.
Chapters offer a variety of perspectives, covering highway
archaeology, inclusion of Native American tribes, and the legacy of
the NHPA, among other topics.
Carole L. Crumley has brought together top scholars from across
anthropology in a benchmark volume that displays the range of
exciting new work on the complex relationship between humans and
the environment. Continually pursuing anthropology's persistent
claim that both the physical and the mental world matter, these
environmental scholars proceed from the holistic assumption that
the physical world and human societies are always inextricably
linked. As they incorporate diverse forms of knowledge, their work
reaches beyond anthropology to bridge the sciences, social
sciences, and the humanities, and to forge working relationships
with non-academic communities and professionals. Theoretical issues
such as the cultural dimensions of context, knowledge, and power
are articulated alongside practical discussions of building
partnerships, research methods and ethics, and strategies for
implementing policy. New Directions in Environment and Anthropology
will be important for all scholars and non-academics interested in
the relation between our species and its biotic and built
environments. It is also designed for classroom use in and beyond
anthropology, and students will be greatly assisted by suggested
reading lists for their further exploration of general concepts and
specific research. Learn more about the author at the University of
North Carolina Anthropology Department web pages.
