The 1870 Ghost Dance was a significant but too often disregarded
transformative historical movement with particular impact on the
Native peoples of northern California. The spiritual energies of
this "great wave," as Peter Nabokov has called it, have passed down
to the present day among Native Californians, some of whose
contemporary individual and communal lives can be understood only
in light of the dance and the complex religious developments
inspired by it. Cora Du Bois's historical study, "The 1870 Ghost
Dance," has remained an essential contribution to the ethnographic
record of Native Californian cultures for seven decades yet is only
now readily available for the first time. Du Bois produced this
pioneering work in the field of ethnohistory while still under the
tutelage of anthropologist Alfred Louis Kroeber. Her monograph
informs our understanding of Kroeber's larger, grand and crucial
salvage-ethnographic project in California, its approach and style,
and also its limitations. "The 1870 Ghost Dance" adds rich detail
to our understanding of anthropology in California before World War
II
Examining cultures as diverse as long-house dwellers in North
Borneo, African farmers, Welsh housewives, and postindustrial
American workers, this volume dramatically redefines the
anthropological study of menstrual customs. It challenges the
widespread image of a universal 'menstrual taboo' as well as the
common assumption of universal female subordination which underlies
it. Contributing important new material and perspectives to our
understanding of comparative gender politics and symbolism, it is
of particular importance to those interested in anthropology,
women's studies, religion, and comparative health systems.
This colorful, richly textured account of spiritual training and
practice within an American Indian social network emphasizes
narrative over analysis. Thomas Buckley's foregrounding of Yurok
narratives creates one major level of dialogue in an innovative
ethnography that features dialogue as its central theoretical
trope. Buckley places himself in conversation with contemporary
Yurok friends and elders, with written texts, and with
twentieth-century anthropology as well. He describes Yurok Indian
spirituality as "a significant field in which individual and
society meet in dialogue--cooperating, resisting, negotiating,
changing each other in manifold ways. 'Culture, ' here, is not a
thing but a process, an emergence through time."
