Defying the Odds

The Tule River Tribe's Struggle for Sovereignty in Three Centuries

By: Gelya Frank,Carole E. Goldberg

Defying the Odds examines the history of theTule River Tribe, a constituency of 1,500 members descended from the Southern Valley Yokuts Indians of California's Great Central Valley. This innovative book presents the first-ever study of a California tribe's political survival and transformation under American rule - from California statehood through the current Indian gaming era. The Tule River Tribe's struggle for sovereignty withstood challenges from political and legal institutions. Tribal members both reasserted and recast their traditions to preserve unity while competing for resources on their commonly owned reservation land base. The authors bring their remarkably rich knowledge of the Tribe's families and of federal Indian law to show how traditional leadership reemerged in the 1930s, under the Indian New Deal, through direct descendants of former chiefs. Vibrant portraits of men and women of the Tule River Tribe create a compelling narrative history, highlighting twentieth-century victories in land claims, government-to-government battles over Indian gaming, and use of Yokuts' traditional consensus - based negotiations over water rights with the Tribe's downstream neighbors. On every page of this groundbreaking book, the Tule River Tribe remains in frame as the protagonist of this exemplary story of indigenous struggle and triumph.

A Thousand Blunders

The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and Northern British Columbia

By: Frank Leonard

During the first two decades of the twentieth century, the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway played an important role in the development of the north-central corridor of British Columbia. Running from Winnipeg via Edmonton and the Yellowhead Pass to Prince Rupert on the northwest coast, the GTP was built to challenge the primacy of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The 1,500-kilometre British Columbia line, built at great cost over some of the country's most rugged terrain, was completed in 1914. But traffic on this line fell far short of company expectations, and this contributed to the collapse of the GTP in 1919.

Race and Racism in Nineteenth-Century Art

The Ascendency of Robert Duncanson, Edward Bannister, and Edmonia Lewis

By: Naurice Frank Woods Jr.

Painters Robert Duncanson (ca. 1821–1872) and Edward Bannister (1828–1901) and sculptor Mary Edmonia Lewis (ca. 1844–1907) each became accomplished African American artists. But as emerging art makers of color during the antebellum period, they experienced numerous incidents of racism that severely hampered their pursuits of a profession that many in the mainstream considered the highest form of social cultivation. Despite barriers imposed upon them due to their racial inheritance, these artists shared a common cause in demanding acceptance alongside their white contemporaries as capable painters and sculptors on local, regional, and international levels. Author Naurice Frank Woods Jr. provides an in-depth examination of the strategies deployed by Duncanson, Bannister, and Lewis that enabled them not only to overcome prevailing race and gender inequality, but also to achieve a measure of success that eventually placed them in the top rank of nineteenth-century American art. Unfortunately, the racism that hampered these three artists throughout their careers ultimately denied them their rightful place as significant contributors to the development of American art. Dominant art historians and art critics excluded them in their accounts of the period. In this volume, Woods restores their artistic legacies and redeems their memories, introducing these significant artists to rightful, new audiences.
