Book excerpt: Set in Wyoming and India, the stories in Cowboys and East Indians explore the immigrant experience and collisions of cultures in the American West as seen through the eyes of outsiders. From Indian motel owners to a kleptomaniac foreign exchange student, a cross-dressing sari-wearing cowboy to oil-rig workers, an adopted cowgirl to a medical tourist in India - the characters in these stories are lonely and are looking for connection, and yet they can also be problematic and aggressive in order to survive in an isolated landscape. These stories focus on the not-often-mentioned rural immigrant experience. For these characters, identity is shaped not just by personal history but by place, the very land they live on.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the northern plains and the Southwest, Iverson traces the rise and fall of individual and tribal cattle industries against the backdrop of changing federal Indian policies.

Even though allotment and leasing stifled ranching, livestock became symbols and ranching a new means of resisting, adapting, and living - for remaining Native.

Download or read book Shooting Cowboys and Indians written by Andrew Brodie Smith and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academics have generally dismissed Hollywood's cowboy and Indian movies - one of its defining successful genres - as specious, one-dimensional, and crassly commercial. In Shooting Cowboys and Indians, Andrew Brodie Smith challenges this simplistic characterization of the genre, illustrating the complex and sometimes contentious process by which business interests commercialized images of the West. Tracing the western from its hazy silent-picture origins in the 1890s to the advent of talking pictures in the 1920s, Smith examines the ways in which silent westerns contributed to the overall development of the film industry. Focusing on such early important production companies as Selig Polyscope, New York Motion Picture, and Essanay, Smith revises current thinking about the birth of Hollywood and the establishment of Los Angeles as the nexus of filmmaking in the United States. Smith also reveals the role silent westerns played in the creation of the white male screen hero that dominated American popular culture in the twentieth century. Illustrated with dozens of historic photos and movie stills, this engaging and substantive story will appeal to scholars interested in Western history, film history, and film studies as well as general readers hoping to learn more about this little-known chapter in popular filmmaking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Indian engineer discovers his personal and professional potential in the heart of Texas. An Indian in Cowboy Country is more than a fictional tale of an India-born engineer who overcomes cultural differences to succeed in America. It shares the challenges anyone might experience in life and in business and looks at important lessons learned along the way. Satish Sharma, an engineering graduate from the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, is an immigrant who comes to America seeking a better life. From Bombay, India, where he was born and raised, to Houston, Texas, where he is called “an Indian in cowboy country,” Sharma feels out of place. He faces personal, professional, and romantic challenges on both shores, but he eventually flourishes in the United States – the land of universal inclusion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April of 2014, when Hawkeye Huey was 4 years old, his father (National Geographic photographer Aaron Huey) bought him his first camera. The two started an 18 month long adventure traveling together around the American West making photographs, meeting strangers, chasing light, and learning how to see. They climbed Salvation Mountain, went into the chutes at the Cody Night Rodeo, visited the markets of the Navajo Nation, and cruised the Las Vegas strip. Between the ages of 4 and 5 Hawkeye took nearly a thousand instant photos. Many of those photographs and their journey were shared on an Instagram account created for Hawkeye. Now in the hands of his father, these photographs have become a book.Aaron and Hawkeye's adventures have earned international recognition: for both the collection of photography and for the lessons of this father-son adventure in creative and engaged parenting. The Instagram account they used to share this journey has over 200,000 followers, and Hawkeye has been named to Rolling Stone's top 100 Instagramers, and Time magazine's 50 Instagram accounts to follow, and his photos have inspired online stories from National Geographic Proof to the Huffington Post.Though Hawkeye created without influence, his father has very consciously placed this collection of images alongside a long list of legends in the well-trodden tradition of documenting the American West. Hawkeye has no concept of that, nor does he need to. He does not participate in those aesthetic debates or judgements. He doesn't have a history & he doesn't have an influence. He is busy with Legos. We hope that this collection of his images and the journey he took with his father will help you to see the genius of the creative vision that is inherent in all children.

Book excerpt: Drawing on the federal census, wills, mortgage bills of sale, tax returns, and newspaper advertisements, this authoritative study describes the nature of African-American slaveholding, its complexity, and its rationales.

The book also paints a picture of the complex social dynamics between free and enslaved Blacks, and between Black and white slaveowners.
