Prudence Rice places the rural outpost of Macanche Island within the larger geographical and historical context of the Yucatan peninsula during the Postclassic period. She weaves together analyses of the artifacts, largely ceramics, of Bullard's 1968 excavation with the artifacts found in later excavations focused on the Peten lake basins. Typological descriptions of the pottery are supplemented by analyses of function, slip and paste and by discussions of locally manufacture imported material. This book enables us to reconstruct and understand the role of rural outposts of a powerful civilization during a time of economic and political chaos.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. iv+152 pages with diagrams, photographs and bibliography. Quarto (11" x 9 1/4") bound in original blue cloth with white lettering to spine. Introduction by William R Bullard, Jr. Photography by Roy C Craven, Jr. First edition. In preparation for a major exhibition of photographs of Maya art and artifacts of Maya origin, Roy C Craven, Jr, made three trips to Central America. His purpose was to record on film as completely and exactly as possible the art and architecture of the ancient Maya ceremonial centers. He made over 500 black-and-white photographs and 200 color transparencies at the following sites: Kaminaljuyu, Dzibilchaltun, Copan, Tikal, Palenque, Comalcalco, Uxmal, Sayil, Kabah, Labna, Xlampak, Chichen-Itza, Mayapan, Tulum and Iximche. The exhibition was originally presented in March 1970, at the University Gallery of the University of Florida and then toured various museum and art centers in the Untied States and Guatemala. Wishing to disseminate this knowledge more widely than was possible in a series of museum exhibitions, Craven selected representative photographs, including some from each of the sites named above, for publication in this book. The book itself in fact contributes importantly to the areas of Latin American studies and of pre-Columbian art and architecture. The photographs themselves give a clearer perspective of the Maya civilization and achievement than has been presented in earlier attempts to picture them. As an introduction the the book Craven chose a lecture by the late William R Bullard, Jr, The Collapse of the Maya Civilization, delivered in 1971to a seminar on pre-Columbian art history at the University of Florida. The site descriptions were written by Michael E Kampen, who along with Bullard was a technical adviser to the original exhibition Condition: Jacket with some edge wear else a very good to fine copy in like jacket.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. 292 pages with plates and drawings. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6") bound in original black cloth with gilt lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Everyone visiting Mexico has seen the country Indians in the markets of the larger towns. Their ill-fitting, once-white, cotton clothes are ragged and dirty; the men have uncut hair and scraggly beards and torn straw hats with high crowns and wide brims. The women wrap themselves in dark blue shawls, the familiar rebozo, and sit on the ground in the market streets, with their bare feet tucked under them. They offer a few tomatoes, or some embroidery, or a basket of beans, or two or three clay water jars, or a burro-load of firewood or charcoal for sale. The visitor is told that they come on foot from many miles away. Except for the different wares they sell, they all look alike. Such as these are the people of Santa Cruz Etla when they come to market in Oaxaca City. But not so at home in the hills. Here they are people of great dignity and importance. They are "householders". They call each other by their first names preceded by the titles Don and Doña. Greeting each other on the ravine trails, they shake hands all around with the deepest courtesy. Everyone assumes responsibility in the town government, entertains guests in his house with dignity, and carries on his affairs with the poise of a well-to-do farmer in the United States. This is for five days of the week. Then on Saturday he takes his products to market to get cash for his few store-bought necessities. There, in the market of Oaxaca, he is suddenly a poor, ragged Indian, indistinguishable from all the other ragged Indians of Mexico. Don Amado resented this and determined that his people should not remain nonentities. They would have respect because they would become citizens of a separate community, not just a barrio of San Pablo, a nearby city of some 300 souls. Having made this decision, the Sage of Santa Cruz, community leader and the only adult in the village of thirty families who could read, set about getting a charter to give legal status to Santa Cruz as a town. Seven years later, in 1930, the Mexican government instituted a program for rural improvement and inadvertently helped Don Amado toward his realization of his dream by granting him permission to erect a school building in his community. By 1934 the village had built itself a schoolhouse and had its first teacher, 19-year-old Rosita. The summer Santa Cruz Etla had an honored guest-- la profesora Americana Doña Elena who came from Los Angeles, California, to study the sociological details of life in Santa Cruz Etla. She became so deeply interested that she returned for extended visits during the next two decades. She came to know the people of Santa Cruz Etla as individuals, she shared their daily lives, their hopes, and their homes. So her sociological study is a warmly human account of the daily lives and adventures of her Mexican friends who met twentieth-century educational techniques under sixteenth-century conditions. As yet, none from Santa Cruz Etla hashas fulfilled Don Amado's life-long dream that Santa Cruz would produce another Benito Juarez, the Abraham Lincoln of Mexico, who began life as an illiterate Zapotecan Indian in the hills beyond Santa Cruz Etla and who went on to become a highly educated lawyer and a champion of Indian rights in the days of Carlotta and Maximilian. But who knows? Such a leader may still come from the next generation of students in the school of the town of Santa Cruz Etla. Condition: Very gentle bumping to spine.

Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6") bound in original publisher's brown cloth with gilt lettering to spine in original pictorial wrappers. From the library of Professor Donald Worcester. First edition. The Rural People of Colombia are being swept into the whirl of social revolution that promises to be the distinguishing feature of our century. Four hundred years of toil might have been expected to numb the peasants' sensitivity to progress -- to have turned them into apparently resigned, docile individuals. But the fact that they have been both exploited and neglected is slowly dawning on them. Donald E. Worcester (1915-2003) was an American historian who specialized in Southwestern United States and Latin American history. He was president of the Western History Association from 1974-1975. Worcester graduated from Bard College in 1939. He received an M.A. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1941. He then served in the US Naval Reserve in World War II. He received a PhD. from Berkeley in 1947. From 1947 until 1963 he was a professor at the University of Florida. He then was a professor at Texas Christian University and history department chair. From 1960 until 1965 he was managing editor of the Hispanic American Historical Review. Worcester's view that history is made of complexities, not dualities, is seen as foundational for much of the understanding by later scholars of Southwest United States history.

During 1767 and 1768, Andrew Turnbull, a Scottish physician who had traveled widely in the Mediterranean, brought some 1,400 persons from Greece, Italy, and Minorca to Florida to cultivate sugarcane, rice, indigo, cotton, and other crops. Colonists were supposed to work for seven to eight years, and then, at the end of the period, receive tracts of fifty or more acres of land. The settlement, named New Smyrna, lasted until 1776, when the colonists marched as one to Saint Augustine to ask for relief from their indentures, claiming cruel treatment. Only 600 of the original immigrants by that time remained, and they settled in Saint Augustine after they were released by the governor. Condition: Author's inscription to title page.
