Summary

In "Preliminary Report on a Visit to the Navaho National Monument, Arizona," Jesse Walter Fewkes presents an insightful exploration of the cultural and archaeological significance of the Navaho National Monument. This meticulously crafted report combines detailed field observations with a vivid narrative style, reflecting Fewkes's scientific rigor and passion for anthropology. The text emerges from the broader context of early 20th-century American archaeology, where burgeoning interest in Native American cultures sought to document and preserve indigenous practices and histories amid growing external pressures from modernity. Fewkes's work stands as a cornerstone in the ethnographic record of the Southwest, juxtaposing scientific inquiry with a deep appreciation for indigenous traditions. Jesse Walter Fewkes was a prominent American archaeologist and ethnologist, recognized for his contributions to the study of Native American cultures. As a member of the Bureau of American Ethnology, his extensive fieldwork spans various tribal communities, reflecting his commitment to understanding their histories and revitalizing interest in their cultural practices. Fewkes's dedication to documenting vivid details of his subjects' lives was likely inspired by the ongoing erosion of native customs at the time. This significant report is recommended for anyone interested in anthropology, Native American studies, or the intricate tapestry of American history. Fewkes's nuanced observations offer readers a rare glimpse into the cultural landscape of the Navaho, making this text essential for scholars and enthusiasts alike.

  • Nazi Germany’s Conquest of Western Europe: The Negotiations and Campaigns that Let Hitler Conquer the Continent Before and During World War II - cover

    Nazi Germany’s Conquest of...

    Europe’s attempts to appease Hitler, most notably at Munich in 1938, failed, as Nazi Germany swallowed up Austria and Czechoslovakia by 1939. Italy was on the march as well, invading Albania in April of 1939. The straw that broke the camel's back, however, was Germany's invasion of Poland on September 1 of that year. Two days later, France and Great Britain declared war on Germany, and World War II had begun in earnest. 
Of course, as most people now know, the invasion of Poland was merely the preface to the Nazi blitzkrieg of most of Western Europe, which would include Denmark, Belgium, and France by the summer of 1940. The resistance put up by these countries is often portrayed as weak, and the narrative is that the British stood alone in 1940 against the Nazi onslaught, defending the British Isles during the Battle of Britain and preventing a potential German invasion. 
In particular, the campaign in Poland is remembered as one in which an antiquated Polish army was quickly pummeled by the world’s most modern army. Polish lancers charging in a valiant yet idiotic attack against German tanks is the only image from the 1939 Nazi-Soviet invasion of Poland remaining in the popular imagination today. Originating as a piece of Nazi propaganda, paradoxically adopted by the Poles as a patriotic myth, the fictional charge obscures the actual events of September 1939. Outnumbered, outgunned, and under-equipped, the Polish army nevertheless inflicted heavy losses on the invading Wehrmacht. In fact, only the unexpected advance of Soviet forces from the east put a quick end to the struggle and saw the Polish republic partitioned again after just 20 years of independence. Nonetheless, the campaign that started World War II was a bloody sign of things to come as the conflict engulfed the globe.

    It is often claimed that the French invented cinema. Dominating the production and distribution of cinema until WWI, when they were supplanted by Hollywood, the French cinema industry encompassed all genres, from popular entertainment to avant-garde practice. 
 
 
 
This Very Short Introduction opens up French cinema through focusing on some of its most notable works, using the lens of the New Wave decade (1958-1968) that changed cinema worldwide. Exploring the entire French cinematic oeuvre, Dudley Andrew teases out distinguishing themes, tendencies, and lineages, to bring what is most crucial about French Cinema into alignment. He discusses how style has shaped the look of female stars and film form alike, analyzing the "made up" aesthetic of many films, and the paradoxical penchant for French cinema to cruelly unmask surface beauty in quests for authenticity. Discussing how French cinema as a whole pits strong-willed characters against auteurs with high-minded ideas of film art, funded by French cinema's close rapport to literature, painting, and music, Dudley considers how the New Wave emerged from these struggles, becoming an emblem of ambition for cinema that persists today. He goes on to show how the values promulgated by the New Wave directors brought the three decades that preceded it into focus, and explores the deep resonance of those values today.
