"For hundreds of years, American artisanship and American authorship were entangled practices rather than distinct disciplines. Books, like other objects, were multisensory items all North American communities and cultures, including Native and settler colonial ones, regularly made and used. All cultures and communities narrated and documented their histories and imaginations through a variety of media. All created objects for domestic, sacred, curative, and collective purposes. In this innovative work at the intersection of Indigenous studies, literary studies, book history, and material culture studies, Caroline Wigginton tells a story of the interweavings of Native craftwork and American literatures from their ancient roots to the present. Focused primarily on North America, especially the colonized lands and waters now claimed by the United States, this book argues for the foundational but often-hidden aesthetic orientation of American literary history toward Native craftwork. Wigginton knits this narrative to another of Indigenous aesthetic repatriation through the making and using of books and works of material expression. Ultimately, she reveals that Native craftwork is by turns the warp and weft of American literature, interwoven throughout its long history."--

In this book, Gustavo G. Politis and Luis A. Borrero explore the archaeology and ethnography of the indigenous people who inhabited Argentina's Pampas and the Patagonia region from the end of the Pleistocene until the 20th century. Offering a history of the nomadic foragers living in the harsh habitats of the South America's Southern Cone, they provide detailed account of human adaptations to a range of environmental and social conditions. The authors show how the region's earliest inhabitants interacted with now-extinct animals as they explored and settled the vast open prairies and steppes of the region until they occupied most of its available habitats. They also trace technological advances, including the development of pottery, the use of bows and arrows, and horticulture. Making new research and data available for the first time, Politis and Borrero's volume demonstrates how geographical variation in the Southern Cone generated diverse adaptation strategies.

Wilhelm von Humboldts theoretische und sprachvergleichende Studien zu den Indianersprachen Amerikas werden in diesem Band auf der Basis der Handschriften veröffentlicht. Humboldt plante eine vergleichende Studie zu den amerikanischen Sprachen. Wie dieses nur in Ansätzen realisierte Projekt hätte aussehen können, dokumentieren die Texte »Inwiefern läßt sich der ehemalige Culturzustand der eingebornen Völker Amerikas aus den Ueberresten ihrer Sprachen beurtheilen?« und die »Einleitung« zur »Tabelle der Buchstabenlaute«. Der Vergleich der Phoneme amerikanischer Sprachen, die Abhandlung »Ueber das Verbum in den amerikanischen Sprachen« und die landeskundliche Studie »Monumente der Nationen Amerika’s« sind Versuche der Umsetzung. Die »Materialien zur allgemeinen Abhandlung« sind sprachliche Kollektaneen mit dem Nahuatl als derjenigen Sprache, mit der alle anderen verglichen werden. Der Band bildet den Abschluss von Abteilung 3 »Amerikanische Sprachen« der Humboldt-Edition.
