Land of the Burnt Thigh, first published in 1938,is one of the best accounts. Edith Eudora Ammons and her sister Ida Mary moved to central South Dakota in 1907 to try homesteading near the "Land of the Burnt Thigh"--The Lower Brule INdian Reservation. There these two young women, both in their twenties and "timid as mice," found a community of homesteaders (including several other single women) who were eager to help them succeed at what looked to be impossible: living in a tiny tarpaper shack on 160 waterless, sunbaked, and snowblasted acres for eight months, until they could "prove up" the claim.

Nuevas perspectivas sobre etnicidad, género, subjetividad europea, y construcción de geografías coloniales. El discurso colonial en textos novohispanos se apoya en trabajos recientes sobre el análisis del discurso y la crítica de la representación que se están desarrollando en áreas como antropología, historia, y geografía cultural. Al analizar una gran variedad de textos, tales como el Diario de Colón, la Lettera de Vespucio, el Alboroto y motín de Sigüenza y Góngora, el México en 1554 de Cervantes de Salazar, la Grandeza mexicana de Balbuena, y la Historia antigua de México de Clavijero, traza los orígenes y usos del saber geopolítico desde la época clásica hasta el siglo XVIII novohispano, para aportar nuevas perspectivas sobre etnicidad, género, subjetividad europea, y construcción de geografías coloniales. Este libro mira los movimientos de ideas más allá de las fronteras espaciales y temporales, e identifica la percepción europea del cuerpo americano como un cuerpo abyecto, que desestabiliza el sistema, la identidad y el orden, y explora la relación del cuerpo y del espacio como una continuidad de las prácticas y las representaciones estratégicas del discurso colonial, enfocándose en la construcción de la identidad, y en las definiciones de las fronteras físicas y culturales. Este estudio va más allá de las lecturas previas, y sugiere nuevas direcciones para el análisis e interpretación de la espacialidad, corporalidad y agencia en la America española colonial. SERGIO RIVERA-AYALA es profesor en la Universidad de California, Riverside.

The 1641 Irish Rebellion has long been recognized as a key event in the mid-17th century collapse of the Stuart monarchy. By 1641, many in England had grown restive under the weight of intertwined religious, political and economic crises. To these audiences, the Irish rising seemed a realization of England's worst fears: a war of religious extermination supported by European papists, whose ambitions extended across the Irish Sea. 'England and the 1641 Irish Rebellion' explores the consequences of this emergency by focusing on survivors of the rising in local, national and regional contexts. In Ireland, the experiences of survivors reflected the complexities of life in multiethnic and religiously-diverse communities. In England, by contrast, pamphleteers, ministers, and members of parliament simplified the issues, presenting the survivors as victims of an international Catholic conspiracy and asserting English subjects' obligations to their countrymen and coreligionists. These obligations led to the creation of relief projects for despoiled Protestant settlers, but quickly expanded into sweeping calls for action against recusants and suspected popish agents in England. 'England and the 1641 Irish Rebellion' contends that the mobilization of this local activism played an integral role in politicizing the English people and escalating the political crisis of the 1640s.
