Songs My Mother Sang to Me

An Oral History of Mexican American Women

The University of Arizona Press

Motivated by a love of her Mexican American heritage, Patricia Preciado Martin set out to document the lives and memories of the women of her mother's and grandmother's eras; for while the role of women in Southwest has begun to be chronicled, that of Hispanic women largely remains obscure. In Songs My Mother Sang to Me, she has preserved the oral histories of many of these women before they have been lost or forgotten.

The Hatchet's Blood

Separation, Power, and Gender in Ehing Social Life

The University of Arizona Press

Winner of the Royal Anthropological Institute’s Amaury Talbot Prize for African Anthropology, The Hatchet's Blood is the first ethnography of the Ehing, a farming people of southern Senegal. The ritual complexes of the Ehing embody an elaborate set of prohibitions on social behavior and prescribe the general rules of Ehing social organization. Power is distributed and maintained by the concept of Odieng (“hatchet”), which as a spirit acts upon human beings much as an ax does upon a tree, falling from above to punish its victims for transgression. Marc R. Schloss’s ethnography is a study of the meaning of Odieng’s power, explaining why its rules are so essential to the Ehing way of life.
