Sinossi

In "Archeology of the Lower Mimbres Valley, New Mexico," Jesse Walter Fewkes offers a comprehensive analysis of the archaeological remains within this culturally rich region. Fewkes employs meticulous fieldwork and descriptive clarity, embodying the early 20th-century American archaeological style that emphasizes both empirical observation and interpretive insight. His examination encompasses not only the material artifacts but also the broader contextual frameworks of the Mimbres culture, highlighting their artistic styles, domestic structures, and burial practices, thereby situating the findings within the greater narrative of Southwestern prehistory. Jesse Walter Fewkes, a pioneering archaeologist and anthropologist, was deeply influenced by his training at Harvard and subsequent fieldwork in the Southwest. His commitment to unraveling the complexities of indigenous cultures stemmed from a broader mission to preserve and document the rapidly vanishing ways of life in the face of modernization. Fewkes's immersive approach and his role as an early advocate for archaeological preservation underscore his dedication to the field and his reverence for the Mimbres people, which is palpable throughout the text. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in American archaeology, indigenous cultures, or Southwestern history. Fewkes's work not only enriches our understanding of the Mimbres but also illustrates the impact of cultural nuances in shaping our interpretation of the past. Scholars, students, and casual readers alike will find in Fewkes's thorough research and insights an invaluable resource that deepens their appreciation for the complexities of human heritage.

The Most Human Right - Why Free...

Eric Heinze

What are human rights? Are they laid out definitively in the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights or the US Bill of Rights? Are they items on a checklist—dignity, justice, progress, standard of living, health care, housing? In  
The Most Human Right, Eric Heinze explains why global human rights systems have failed. International organizations constantly report on how governments manage human goods, such as fair trials, humane conditions of detention, health  
care, or housing. But to appease autocratic regimes, experts have ignored the primacy of free speech. Heinze argues that goods become rights only when citizens can claim them publicly and fearlessly: free speech is the fundamental  
right, without which the very concept of a “right” makes no sense. 
 
Heinze argues that throughout history countless systems of justice have promised human goods. What, then, makes human rights different? What must human rights have that other systems have lacked? Heinze revisits the origins of the  
concept, exploring what it means for a nation to protect human rights, and what a citizen needs in order to pursue them. He explains how free speech distinguishes human rights from other ideas about justice, past and present.

Three Wise Monkeys - The Making...

Charles van Onselen

Volume 1 of Three Wise Monkeys explores the Portuguese colonisation of Mozambique, and the gradual transformation of the colony into a reservoir of cheap labour, first during the Atlantic slave trade and then during the rise of the voracious Rand mining industry.
Mozambique became locked into financial dependence on South Africa. The South African mining industry came to own significant parts of the harbour infrastructure of Lourenço Marques. The mining industry's insatiable appetite for pit props gave rise to a globalised trade in timber flowing in from the US, Scandinavia and Australia via new shipping lines to the port of Lourenço Marques.
After World War I, the South African gold-mining industry and Mozambique's weak 'central bank', the Banco Nacional Ultramarino, operating alongside the South African Reserve Bank, a branch of the Royal Mint and the Rand Refinery, effectively controlled the economic fortunes and destiny of South Africa's neighbour. Mozambique was colonised twice over – first by Portugal and then by South Africa.
