SERIES
NEW VISIONS IN NATIVE AMERICAN AND INDIGENOUS STUDIES
Margaret Jacobs and Robert J. Miller, series editors
The University of Nebraska Press and the American Philosophical Society’s New Visions in Native American and Indigenous Studies proposes to publish first-rate research in Native American History and Native American Legal and Policy Studies, with an emphasis on the subject area in the disciplines of History, Anthropology, Law, Legal History, Religious Studies, Social Work, Health, and Public Policy.
The UNP-APS series offers opportunities for UNP to build on its already strong reputation in the field of Native American and Indigenous Studies by attracting the best new scholarship in the field and partnering with American Philosophical Society, the largest archive of Native American and Indigenous materials in North America and one of the Top 3 learned societies in the world. The series will cement the working relationship of UNP and APS, as well as draw on the resources of APS as a major, grant-funding institution in Native American and Indigenous Studies through its Phillips Fund Research Grants.
The partners envision the series as open to any high-quality scholarship in the field, but manuscripts will be solicited in broad thematic areas related to editors’ research interests and expertise: Domesticity, Intimacy, and the Family; Decolonization, Reparation, Redress, and other legal issues; and Comparative and Transnational Indigenous Studies. These areas represent some of the most important new directions in the field of American Indian and Indigenous Studies in the last decade.
STUDIES IN THE NATIVE LANGUAGES OF THE AMERICAS
Tim Thornes, series editor
This series is designed to attract, disseminate as widely as possible, and assist in the creation of the best possible book-length works that examine the indigenous languages of the hemispheric Americas. The majority of candidates of the series are winners of the Mary R. Haas Award, which is bestowed annually by the Society for the Study of the Indigenous Languages of the Americas for best monograph written that year. The series also seeks to publish descriptive monographs based on significant fieldwork, as well as dictionaries and analyzed collections of texts, that receive honorable mention for the Haas award and exceptional monographs of significant merit for the series.
FRANZ BOAS PAPERS DOCUMENTARY EDITION
Regna Darnell, series editor
This documentary edition of the professional papers and correspondence of Franz Boas (1858-1942) provides researchers in the sciences, social sciences, humanities, and arts with unparalleled access to one of the world’s intellectual luminaries who pioneered empirical research and methodology across disciplines and intellectual terrain encompassed by anthropology, the history of indigenous peoples in the Americas, linguistics, intellectual history, folklore, archaeology, literature, philosophy, psychology, sociology, critical race theory, museum studies, education, Jewish studies, social and civil rights activism, and law and policy studies. In these richly enhanced and annotated, select editions of Boas’ papers, important archival, unpublished, published, and primary sources will be available to academic researchers, indigenous communities involved in cultural repatriation and revitalization, and enthusiasts of human and natural history for the first time, ever. The Franz Boas Papers is akin to an unpublished intellectual history of the era 1880-1942, offering a fascinating entre into the world of this polymath who helped intellectually renovate the sciences, social sciences, and humanities in the United States during his own lifetime.
Franz Boas is important both to the institutional and intellectual groundings of the Americanist tradition in anthropology and his influence is still ongoing to this day. In the seven decades since his death in 1942, the historical milieu for much of Boas’ work has been ignored by contemporary re-readings and mis-readings by scholars across the disciplines. Few of his intellectual progeny span the range of his disciplinary and public engagements. In the latter years of his career, Boas became a public intellectual, an advocate for social justice particularly with reference to racism against Blacks and Jews and discrimination against women in science. He was a passionate defender of academic freedom, rigorous scholarship, and anthropology as a humane calling.
BORDERLANDS AND TRANSCULTURAL STUDIES
Rudy P. Guevarra, Jr. and Paul Spickard, series editors
A venue for the scholarly study of borderlands—of the encounters, intersections, and collisions between peoples and cultures—the books in this series focus on comparative borderlands, multiple identities (borderlands of race, culture, and identity), race in the American West, human migrations, and colonial encounters.
CRITICAL STUDIES IN THE HISTORY OF ANTHROPOLOGY
Regna Darnell, Robert Oppenheim, and Stephen O. Murray (1950–2019), series editors
This series consists of critical studies of key aspects of the history of anthropology. The series aims for a balance between the reflexivity of contemporary theory and the historicism which has long been the keynote of the history of anthropology.
INDIGENOUS EDUCATION
Margaret Connell Szasz and John W. Tippeconnic III, series editors
This series explores and illuminates the essential dimensions of the process and experience of indigenous education, past and present. Books in the series shed light on the historical and present conditions of the transmission and reception of knowledge across generations in indigenous communities.
STUDIES IN THE ANTHROPOLOGY OF NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS
Rani-Henrik Andersson and Mark van de Log, series editors
This series includes works on American Indian ethnography, ethnology, ethnohistory, and linguistics. The geographic focus includes all of native North America.
INDIGENOUS FILMS
David Delgado Shorter and Randolph Lewis, series editors
The series explores and illuminates individual films produced by or about indigenous peoples around the globe. Each book in the series focuses on one film, addressing key issues raised by the film and demonstrating effective ways to interpret the film. The purpose of the series is to provide short, accessible, and affordable companions to major indigenous films that can be used in classrooms across a number of fields and by the general public.
