Abstract:

This dissertation charts the dramatic cultural transformation of Uncle Tom, the heroic Christian martyr of Harriet Beecher Stowe's antislavery novel Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852), into a commonly known slur for a submissive race traitor. As many scholars have noted, the hero of Stowe's novel is not what we would today call an "Uncle Tom." Some have put the blame for the figure's drastic transformation on the many popular stage adaptations of Stowe's novel that blanketed the nation during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. However, relying on extensive archival work in both traditional ar

This is a documentary study of the formative years of Native American anthropologist, Edward P. Dozier (1916-1971). The research is based on the Edward P.

Edward Pascual Dozier (Awa Tsideh) spent his early years, from his 1916 birth in Santa Clara Pueblo until his 1952 doctoral degree in anthropology, assimilating into the pluralistic society of the Southwest. Although enculturated as a Tewa, he also interacted with local Roman Catholic Hispanic communities in New Mexico. As a young man, Dozier encountered many aspects

Abstract:

The late nineteenth century was a time of great change for women's roles in music. Whereas in 1870, women played primarily harp or piano, by 1900 there were all-woman orchestras. During the late nineteenth century, women began to perform on instruments that were not standard for them, such as cornet, trombone, and saxophone. The achievements of early female saxophonists scarcely have been mentioned in accounts of saxophone history. This study gathers scattered and previously unpublished information about the careers and repertoire of American female saxophonists from 1870-1930 into one referen

Abstract:

Life for nineteenth century American women was full of restrictions and limitations.

American Jews of German descent adopted the "Victorian ideal of womanhood" popular in the United States at this time, propelling many German-Jewish women to engage in charitable Zionist activity despite the general lack of support for Zionism in America earlier in thi

This dissertation is a biography of American missionary Frank W. Price, friend and advisor to Madame and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, and KMT official for two decades.

The 19th century in Colombia is a particularly fruitful period to analyze the work of translators.

In this case-study we will analyze how this context affected the translations he produced. Based on the analysis of his translations of canonical authors and classical fables and child stories, as well as paratextual and parallel sources, this study will show how Rafael Pombo became an "intercultural

Ideologically speaking, Morris was a conservative, an imperialist, and a devout Christian. Historians have generally argued that Euro-Canadian officials like Morris failed to appreciate the significance of the treaties and the long-term reciprocal relationship that they entailed for Amerindian peoples.

American fascism is an underdeveloped topic in American history and it often rests in the pale of narratives focused upon, respectively, American extremism, protest movements, and assimilation processes.

Swing, an intellectual to whom all historians of "native" American fascism have turned, pioneered studies of the fascist tendencies extant in specific organizations and politicians of the 1930s; yet, no study of Swing's antifascist life exists.

McNickle regarded fiction as a vehicle to explore his own identity as an American Indian. Of mixed French-Cree-American ancestry McNickle grew up on the Flathead Reservation in western Montana.
