Native Studies WWW.UBCPRESS.CA/NATIVESTUDIES Homol’ovi An Ancient Hopi Settlement Cluster E. Charles Adams In the thirteenth century, people from the Hopi Mesas established a cluster of villages to the south along the Little Colorado River, attracted by the river’s resources and the region’s ideal conditions for growing cotton. By the late 1300s, these Homol’ovi villages were the centre of a robust trade in cotton and were involved in the beginning of katsina religion among Hopi people. Charles Adams has directed excavations in five of the seven primary Homol’ovi villages and in other villages predating them. He concludes that the founders of these settlements were Hopis who sought to protect their territory from migrating groups elsewhere in the Pueblo world. E. Charles Adams has directed the Homol’ovi Research Program at the Arizona State Museum since 1985. UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA PRESS March 280 pages, 6 x 9” 48 illustrations ISBN 0-8165-2221-9 hardcover, $83.95 CRO Western Pueblo Identities Regional Interaction, Migration, and Transformation Andrew I. Duff Identifying distinct social groups of the past has always challenged archaeologists because understanding how people perceived their identity is critical to the reconstruction of social organization. Material culture has been the standard measure of distinction between groups. Andrew Duff argues that such an approach is not always appropriate: demographic and historical factors may affect the extent to which material evidence can define such boundaries. Andrew I. Duff is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Washington State University. UNIVERSITY OR ARIZONA PRESS February 250 pages, 6 x 9”, illus.

Political Science · Public Policy · International Studies WWW.UBCPRESS.CA/POLITICS Now in Paperback! Afghanistan’s Endless War State Failure, Regional Politics, and the Rise of the Taliban Larry P. Goodson Larry Goodson explains in this concise analysis of the Afghan war what has really been happening in Afghanistan in the last 20 years, and why the future of Afghanistan matters. Beginning with the reasons behind Afghanistan’s inability to forge a strong state – its myriad cleavages along ethnic, religious, social, and geographical fault lines – this book examines the devastating course of the war itself. More than 2 million Afghans died and some 6 million others were dispersed as refugees as its result, while the Afghan economy was decimated. The Taliban controlled roughly 80 percent of the country but experienced increasing discord along ethnic and political lines within its ranks. Goodson reasons that the future of Afghanistan is key to the stability and security of this increasingly important region of the post-Cold War world. Larry P. Goodson is Associate Professor of International Studies at Bentley College, Waltham, Massachusetts. March 224 pages, 6 x 9” ISBN 0-295-98111-3 hardcover, $58.95 ISBN 0-295-98050-8 paper, $28.95 CRO Street Protests and Fantasy Parks Globalization, Culture, and the State Edited by David R. Cameron and Janice Gross Stein The speed and intensity of global integration in the last two decades have provoked serious debate about the human impact of globalization and deep concern about the capacity of the state to provide social justice. Street Protests and Fantasy Parks focuses on two dimensions of globalization: the cultural and social realities of global connection and the uneasily shifting role of the state. While global processes are fusing societies and economies more deeply than ever before, the editors argue that obituaries for the state are premature, if not wholly inappropriate. These essays examine a series of compelling case studies – the entertainment industry, citizenship, social activism, and wired communication – to assess the choices states have and the consequences of those choices for culture and society. Despite the seismic changes that globalization has wrought upon governments, the state remains as the last, best guardian of its people. This book – of vital importance to policy makers, the media, social activists, and academics – explains why that is so. David R. Cameron is Assistant Chair, Department of Political Science, University of Toronto. Janice Gross Stein is Director, Munk Centre for International Studies, University of Toronto.
