African American Racism - HOME African American Racism African Voices in the African American Heritage by Betty M. Kuyk, African slaves brought to North America were stripped of their possessions.

Africa Population - HOME Africa Population Almanac of African Peoples & Nations by Mohamad A. Yakan, The peoples of Africa are neither ethnically, culturally, nor religiously homogeneous.

Mayan Culture - ... peoples in the process of defining themselves through theatrical performance. She looks at the activities of four theatre groups or networks, focusing on their operating strategies and on close analyses of selected dramatic texts. She shows that while each group works under the rubric of Mayan or indigenous theatre, their works are also in constant dialogue, confrontation, and collaboration with the wider, non-Mayan world. Her observations thus reveal not only how theatre is an agent of cultural self-definition and community-building but also how theatre negotiates complex relations among indigenous communities in Mayan Mexico, state governments, and non-Mayan artists and researchers. Mayan Visions: The Quest for Autonomy in an Age of Globalization by June C. Nash, A significant work by one of anthropology's most important scholars, this book provides an introduction to the ...

Overshadowing and complicating the frontier military mission were the politics of slavery and the growing rift between the North and South. As regular troops fanned out across the American West, the diverse inhabitants of the region intensified their competition for natural resources, political autonomy, and cultural survival. Their conflicts often erupted into violence that propelled the army into riot duty and bloody warfare. Examining the full continuum of martial force in the American West, ...
