Summary

Ancient Maple Harvest explores the fascinating history and science behind maple syrup, revealing its deep roots in indigenous knowledge and sustainable harvesting practices. For centuries before European contact, indigenous peoples across North America, including the Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee, skillfully transformed maple sap into a vital food source. These communities ingeniously developed techniques for tapping trees and boiling sap, understanding the precise timing and methods necessary to create syrup and sugar. This book uniquely positions indigenous innovation in maple sugaring as a significant contribution to North American foodways, often overlooked in mainstream narratives.

 
The book progresses from the botanical characteristics of maple trees to pre-colonial harvesting methods, detailing tools, timing, and processing. It then examines the impact of European colonization on indigenous practices, analyzing how trade and land dispossession altered these traditions. By drawing upon archaeological evidence, ethnographic accounts, and oral histories, Ancient Maple Harvest offers a comprehensive and accessible look at the cultural significance and environmental consciousness embedded within indigenous maple sugaring.

In the Shadow of Diagnosis -...

Regina Kunzel

A look at the history of psychiatry’s foundational impact on the lives of queer and gender-variant people. 
  
In the mid-twentieth century, American psychiatrists proclaimed homosexuality a mental disorder, one that was treatable and amenable to cure. Drawing on a collection of previously unexamined case files from St. Elizabeths Hospital, In the Shadow of Diagnosis explores the encounter between psychiatry and queer and gender-variant people in the mid- to late-twentieth-century United States. It examines psychiatrists’ investments in understanding homosexuality as a dire psychiatric condition, a judgment that garnered them tremendous power and authority at a time that historians have characterized as psychiatry’s “golden age.” That stigmatizing diagnosis made a deep and lasting impact, too, on queer people, shaping gay life and politics in indelible ways. In the Shadow of Diagnosis helps us understand the adhesive and ongoing connection between queerness and sickness.
