Chicano Studies
The Genesis of a Discipline
Part intellectual history, part social criticism, and part personal meditation, Chicano Studies attempts to make sense of the collision (and occasional wreckage) of politics, culture, scholarship, ideology, and philosophy that created a new academic discipline. Along the way, it identifies a remarkable cast of scholars and administrators who added considerable zest to the drama.

State Healthcare and Yanomami Transformations
A Symmetrical Ethnography
With theoretical foundations in medical and Amazonian anthropology, Kelly shows how Amerindian cosmology shapes concepts of the state at the community level. His symmetrical anthropology treats white and Amerindian perceptions of each other within a single theoretical framework, thus expanding our understanding of the groups and their mutual influences. This book will be valuable to scholars and students of Amazonian peoples, medical anthropology, development, and Latin American studies.

Ideologies in Archaeology
Contributors to this volume focus on elements of life in past societies that “went without saying” and uncover complex manipulations of power that have often gone unrecognized. They show that Occam’s razor—the tendency to favor simpler explanations—is sometimes just an excuse to avoid dealing with the historical world in its full complexity.

Field Man
Life as a Desert Archaeologist
Field Man is the memoir of renowned southwestern archaeologist Julian Dodge Hayden—a blue-collar scholar who challenged conventional thinking on the antiquity of man in the New World, brought a formidable pragmatism to the identification of stone tools, and who is remembered as the leading authority on the prehistory of the Sierra Pinacate.

Latino Los Angeles
Transformations, Communities, and Activism
Along These Highways
Rene Perez has the ability to stop time. In fact, time stops as soon as you start reading one of his short stories. You find yourself transported into the minds and lives of people you thought you didn’t know. Suddenly they are your best friends. They live in Texas. Most of them are Hispanic. But their problems are universal.

Arizona
A History, Revised Edition
Now, just in time for Arizona’s centennial, Sheridan has revised and expanded this already top-tier state history to incorporate events and changes that have taken place in recent years. Addressing contemporary issues like land use, water rights, dramatic population increases, suburban sprawl, and the US–Mexico border, the new material makes the book more essential than ever. It successfully places the forty-eighth state’s history within the context of national and global events. No other book on Arizona history is as integrative or comprehensive.
