Revolt
An Archaeological History of Pueblo Resistance and Revitalization in 17th Century New Mexico
Traditional text-based accounts tend to focus on the revolt and the Spaniards’ reconquest in 1692—completely skipping over the years of indigenous independence that occurred in between. Revolt boldly breaks out of this mold and examines the aftermath of the uprising in colonial New Mexico, focusing on the radical changes it instigated in Pueblo culture and society.
Published in cooperation with the William P. Clements Center for Southwest Studies, Southern Methodist University.

Women and Ledger Art
Four Contemporary Native American Artists
Although ledger art has long been considered a male art form, Women and Ledger Art calls attention to the extraordinary achievements of four contemporary female Native artists—Sharron Ahtone Harjo (Kiowa), Colleen Cutschall (Oglala Lakota), Linda Haukaas (Sicangu Lakota), and Dolores Purdy Corcoran (Caddo). The book examines these women’s interpretations of their artwork and their thoughts on tribal history and contemporary life.

When Worlds Collide

The Ecological Other
Environmental Exclusion in American Culture
This book engages recent scholarship on trans-corporeality, disability studies, and environmental justice. Ray argues that environmental discourse often frames ecological crisis as a crisis of the body, therefore promoting ecological health at the cost of social equality. Ray urges us to be careful about the ways in which we construct “others” in our arguments to protect nature.
