▼ Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) pride themselves in facilitating positivechange within local communities across the globe. For anthropologists, they provide valuable sites for understanding community empowerment, societal change, and definitions of welfare and human rights. This ethnographic study examines how Community Care Workers at Afrika Tikkun, a child and youth development and primary health care NGO in South Africa, establish a sense of health citizenship for community members within the township of Mfuleni. By working predominantly with the primary health care employees of the NGO, observing and participating in their interactions, and conducting individual and group interviews, I explore how certain services provided by the NGO empower community members to become active participants within the community. Furthermore, this thesis reveals how health is situated in a grassroots, activist framework in order to influence democratic transformations in the “new” South Africa.

▼ This thesis examines the support California's church groups offered to Japanese Americans during their eviction, internment, and resettlement from 1942 to 1947, centered on the hostels those groups opened to house, feed, provide storage, and seek employment and long-term housing for their Japanese residents. It first provides a hitherto unwritten narrative of that state's church hostel efforts that have been overshadowed by those in Midwestern and Eastern states that operated for nearly two years before the West Coast was reopened to internees. The origins of California's church hostels during resettlement had roots in the eviction, however, when certain denominations were among the lone supporters of Japanese Americans and demonstrated Christian charity by providing housing, securing storage for their goods, and generally lending a measure of humanity to an otherwise inhumane situation.These church hostels also voiced strong support for the government that was prosecuting the internment of the very people they claimed to support. Conflating Christian and democratic language, church leaders in this period voiced support for a popular war and simultaneously for the most unpopular ethnic group in the country. During eviction, they manifested support of the government through trust in its claim of military necessity, and during internment and resettlement adopted from whole cloth its program of assimilation, steps that afforded a measure of self-insulation them to provide aid to "the enemy." This paradox of church support in this period is the central focus of this thesis.

▼ This thesis examines the role of African American women activists in the BlackPanther Party by placing their activism in the broader historical context of blackwomen in the freedom struggle. This thesis sheds light on the continuities anddepartures from earlier work that characterized black women’s activism and theBlack Panther Party as a whole, by analyzing how their experiences, ideologies,and activism compared with those of earlier women activists who lived duringSlavery, Jim Crow, and the Civil Rights eras. My thesis examines how women, asactivists, pushed past boundaries of gender, and helped to broaden the meaningof freedom. Activists like those who joined the Black Panther Party understoodthat there was much more work to be done before African Americans were trulyfree and equal to white people. Included in my analysis are black women'ʹsexperiences of sexual abuse and rape, which was used to keep blacks in theirplace and enforce white supremacy, but which spurred activism. Many womenin the Black Panther Party were activists in the civil rights movement, and theyturned to the Black Panther Party because they saw a chance to serve and shape anew black community. They expanded the roles of women as leaders andrevolutionaries in the continuing struggle against racism and poverty, as well asfor freedom and self-‐‑determination.

▼ Atomic paranoia is generally attributed to the postwar affluence of the United States, diplomatic tensions with the Soviet Union, and the adjustment to extreme scientific progress. However this research project will reveal how "nuclear terror" was the product of a specific historical event, and the public reporting of this event. First, by examining news reports about atomic technology in the 1940s this project will reveal the impact governmental censorship had on presentation of the atomic bomb. This work will also analyze how the atomic bomb was treated as a plot device in works of fiction, specifically those that would be defined as science fiction and fantasy. By examining these works of "genre" fiction, the intention is to show how the evolving depiction of the atomic bomb became entrenched in the American psyche. By drawing comparisons between the treatment of the atomic bomb in the press and in fiction this work traces the evolution of the depiction of the atomic bomb in America during the postwar period. Ultimately this is intended to challenge the historiographical trend of homogenizing the response of the American public to the bomb in 1940s and 1950s, and reveal that it actually experienced a change over time. By following the news reports, this research will identify specific events that contributed to shifts in depiction, and by incorporating genre fiction show how these new images were adopted into public consciousness.

▼ This project examines the role of national space mythology in Soviet and US newspaper discourse between 1957 and 1969. Expressions of national mythology in both space programs anchored people’s lives in traditional mythological themes that had the potential to bring meaning to their experience of the space age. The role of newspaper media in this process should not be underestimated because newspapers were a vital conduit of public discourse, enabling the distribution and consumption of national mythologies. This thesis suggests that during the first decade of the space race, the Soviet press dispersed a purpose-driven and cohesive message about their space program that reinforced its national mythology. In comparison, the American press distributed a less cohesive, but still effective version of America’s national mythology. In Soviet space news, the dominant mythological theme was that of interplanetary travel, while in the U.S. it was a mythology of the frontier. Identifying a society’s connection to the role of space mythology may help us understand how it promotes a renewed national identity; acts as a factor of social cohesion (or dissonance), and as a vehicle to work out their reactions to the social burdens of the space race.

▼ Archaeological evidence suggests Archaic and late Prehistoric Native Americans of the Northwestern Great Plains practiced similar hunting and gathering lifestyles. The only features that distinguish the two eras archaeologically are the shift from atlatl to bow-and-arrow technology and an increase in the number of bison jumps. Little is known about the region's inhabitants, other than what has been found from material culture remains. Skeletal remains offer an additional line of evidence to investigate Native American life on the Northwestern Plains. Accordingly, a dental investigation has been conducted to test and complement archaeological interpretations. The dental investigation addresses the subsistence strategies, oral health, and biological affinity of the inhabitants of the Northwestern Plains. The investigation of dentition confirms archaeologically derived interpretations of hunting and gathering lifestyles using evidence from antemortem tooth loss (AMTL), caries, abscesses, attrition and chipping frequencies. Although this investigation shows that dietary behavior and oral health varied little between time periods, there were significant dental differences between males and females. A comparison of the sexes shows that while consumption of cariogenic carbohydrates and activities that lead to chipping are similar, AMTL, attrition, and abscessing indicate differences in behavior and oral health. Further, AMTL and abscessing are related to attrition. This relationship may have made females more susceptible to poor oral health and lower their overall health relative to males. Additionally, observations of dental morphology were conducted to test biological affinity. Although sample sizes for any given crown trait are small because of pronounced tooth wear, it is evident that the Northwestern Plains sample demonstrated morphological frequencies within the range found for other Sino-American groups.

▼ In a global era, identity categories take on new meanings as globalized communities and all their accompanying tokens of identification (social, political, and personal) are formed and placed into competition with previously-held national and local identities. This dissertation explores the ways in which immigrant writers have conceived of identity, grappling not only with the social conditions which give rise to individual and collective identities, but also how these projects are depicted in the literary form. It's clear that an emerging subcategory of writers exists, particularly among immigrant writers, whose literature not only reflects, but also attempts to articulate the concerns of globalization. Because globalization directly impacts our view of interconnections between people, in other words, our notions of community and interpersonal connections, it also directly influences our view of the self and how social and personal identities are formed. It is natural, then, to speak simultaneously of globalization and identity when discussing the impacts globalization has had on the body of American literature. Furthermore, because immigrants are the most socially and economically vulnerable to the forces of globalization, the fiction of immigrant writers tends to strongly reflect transnational discourses on identity. Interconnectivity becomes important for these authors as they create their own sense of community on top of the nation and beyond its boundaries. The literary inheritance of writing produced from the ashes of postmodernism and contemporary globalization, from deterritorialization and interconnectivity, promotes writing that creates a new sense of community. In this project, I limit discussion to immigrant and first-generation writers, to those who have been most directly affected by global forces, in order to examine the ways in which globalization has influenced discussions of identity, and in turn, contemporary American literature. Through close readings of Adeline Yen Mah's Falling Leaves, Aleksandar Hemon's The Lazarus Project, Junot Díaz's Drown, and Rattawut Lapcharoensap's Sightseeing, issues which affect contemporary discourses on globalization and identity such as power, marginality, time, space, and history are explored along with their impact on the body of what I term "globalized American literature."

▼ AbstractReinterment at The African Burial Ground: The Material Result of IdeologyLaura E. RockeIn 1991, during ground clearing for the construction of two Federal Buildings in lower Manhattan, human skeletal remains were unearthed. The remains belonged to 18th century African New Yorkers who used the land, known historically as the Negros Burial Ground, to bury their dead during the majority of the 1700s. As a result of this discovery, a more than decade long political and cultural struggle ensued between the General Services Administration (the federal agency in charge of the construction project), scientists and scholars, and a community of activists who advocated on behalf of the remains. The activists sought reinterment of the remains as well as memorialization of the burial ground, now referred to as the African Burial Ground, and the 18th century individuals buried there. A team of archaeologists studied the four hundred nineteen sets of remains exhumed from the site, which is estimated to contain approximately twenty thousand burials. The goal of their research was to better understand how these 18th century African New Yorkers lived and their role in the development of colonial New York. Upon completion of this research, the remains were reinterred on October 4, 2003, at the site from where they had been disinterred, where the New York African Burial Ground National Monument would eventually be. This thesis examines the process and significance surrounding reinterment of the remains: the decision to do so and who was involved in and responsible for that decision, as well as the discussions, negotiations, and planning process that eventually culminated in the five day long event to reinter and memorialize the men, women, and children originally buried at this site over two-hundred years prior. It argues that reinterment was advocated for and undertaken by activists due to the shared set of ideas among them regarding the significance of the remains and the consequent significance of reinterring and memorializing them.

▼ This dissertation discusses the topics of judicial independence and judicial accountability using the federal and state court systems of the United States as major examples since much of the work on judicial independence derives from the American experience. I define judicial independence by addressing the inquiries of independence for whom, independence from whom, independence from what, and independence for what purpose. Conditions that foster or supplant judicial independence are then summarized to facilitate their application to the case of Nazi Germany and its judicial system. It is next proffered and considered that upon Adolf Hitler's usurpation of power within Nazi Germany judicial independence was abruptly and purposefully dispatched through the passage on March 23, 1933, of the Enabling Act, or The Law for the Recovery of People and Reich from Suffering. In his speech to the Reichstag advocating the acceptance of this law, Hitler was forthright, honest, and provided an omen of what was to subsequently transpire relative to judicial independence in the Third Reich when he stated, "The security of tenure of the judges on the one side must correspond on the other with an elasticity for the benefit of the community when reaching judgments. The centre of legal concern is not the individual but the Volk." Hitler had obtained unlimited power in a constitutional manner and therefore whatever he did was legal in the juridical sense, but the rule of law was completely preempted and no longer prevailed within Germany. No judicial system could resist and continue to function in a constitutional manner once Hitler had been granted dictatorial powers. The creation of the Volksgerichtshof or People's Court on April 24, 1934, and its ensuing operation epitomized a belief in the law to the detriment of justice, sanctioning the National Socialist regime to pervert justice to accommodate their particular purposes. This paper concludes with a discussion of some individuals who chose to resist the barbarism and inhumanity of Nazi tyranny and how they were dealt with by the judicial system in Germany. These individuals were convinced that Hitler and his minions were ruining Germany, once known as the land of "thinkers and poets," and had to be stopped before total destruction occurred, recognizing they were being ruled by criminals who had no regard for human life. The individual in the resistance attempted to show that there was indeed "another Germany," that not all inhabitants of Germany were hateful, arrogant, and uncultured. However, their actions culminated in "show trials" before the wholly dependent People's Court, resulting in clear demonstrations of how Germany's judiciary had lost all semblance of independence, and were therefore complacent in what transpired during that dark period of German history.

▼ For many, “involuntary servitude” is intellectually understood as unconstitutional; it is viewed as a vague legal concept that is difficult to define. For its prey, “involuntary servitude” is a harmful and damaging reality in which they are forced to work for another and prevented from leaving. For black refugees of the great 1927 Mississippi River flood in Greenville, Mississippi, it seemed a nightmare return to slave-like conditions that were forbidden by law if not custom after the Civil War. This dissertation examines the events that took place, and key people who affected them, against the backdrop of three centuries of American law that facilitated or forbade the use of coerced labor, particularly against those of African American descent. Specific legal topics and relevant caselaw assessed include the development of slavery in colonial and post- revolutionary America; coerced labor and emerging civil rights as consequences of the Civil War and Reconstruction; the use of racially-motivated violence to subvert freedmen’s rights; and President Theodore Roosevelt’s peonage investigation, which led to landmark decisions and new views on debt enslavement and misused convict labor as surrogates for chattel slavery. The dissertation builds on this historic legal framework to explore the question of whether Greenville’s black refugees were illegally victimized or simply mistreated within harsh but acceptable social norms.1. Introduction to the FloodThe devastation wrought by the 1927 Mississippi River flood remains almost beyond imagination. While official tallies are suspect, at least 245 people drowned, and a land mass exceeding 26,000 square miles spread over seven states was inundated by waters up to 80 miles wide; a map of the affected area is provided in figure (2). This was a cataclysmic natural event with geopolitical consequences that are little acknowledged, yet are still experienced today. Repercussions spurred an increasing number of African Americans to move from the South, and undermined the power of the Republican Party. The overwhelming task of meeting the needs of those affected by this overwhelming natural catastrophe helped change official disaster policy from a primary reliance upon charitable organizations, to greater federal funding and support for relief and recovery. The human toll of the floodwaters was compounded by racialized abuses in segregated refugee camps that were established by the American Red Cross (ARC). Black victims’ pleas for help went unmet until “leaks” to the northern “Negro press” ignited public outcry. When this scandal threatened to derail U.S. Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover’s presidential aspirations and diminish desperately needed donations, the ARC convened a “Colored Advisory Commission” (CAC) comprised of representatives from Tuskegee Institute and other leading African Americans to investigate the charges. CAC member Thomas Monroe Campbell (1883-1956) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the son of slaves, handled particularly…

▼ For over two hundred years, the college experience in the United States was defined by the traditions of historic eastern college, such as Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. This model of the college experience came to be seen as elite, private, and eastern. Representations of college life in popular novels reflected this idea and served to subtly reinforce the position of these colleges as the torchbearers for American higher education. However, as public higher education proliferated in the mid-to-late nineteenth century, the dominance of such a narrative began to be challenged. With the passage of the Morrill Land–Grant College Act in 1862, the college experience was now open to reinterpretation because of the markedly different missions of state colleges as well as the new types of students who attended them. The expanding conception of the college experience was reflected in the changing popular representations of college life, specifically in the films of the 1910s and 1920s, ultimately providing the American public with an alternative view of higher education. In practice, students at emerging state colleges created social worlds that had elements of the traditions of the historic eastern colleges, but were also reflective of new ways of experiencing college. For example, Greek fraternities and big-time football became hallmarks of the state college experience, while such activities never had the same level of support at older institutions. The presence of women also distinguished life at state colleges, as most public institutions were coeducational from their creation. This study argues that the rise of state colleges fundamentally altered the conception of the college experience in America, as students from a wider range of social backgrounds entered college with a variety of goals in mind.

▼ This dissertation examines hobo symbolism in the literary works of the American writers Jack London, John Steinbeck, Jack Kerouac, Hunter S. Thompson and Charles Bukowski. I argue that these authors utilize the social status of working-class identity in the tramp, hobo, migrant, or bum as a narrative technique and aesthetic model. These twentieth-century white, male writers construct an ideological and intellectual fantasy of the cultural frontier by enacting empowered mythological orders of the working class, despite its relegation to economic dispossession and social marginalization. I call attention to character types such as the tramp, hobo, migrant, and bum to investigate the circulation of mythologies about self-making, industriousness, and American progress into the twenty-first century. The inclusion of the hobo or other working-class figures in the hobo narrative incorporates, appropriates and often co-opts these American mythologies to exhibit generational and countercultural gain for white masculinity. In composing hobo narratives, London, Steinbeck, Kerouac, Thompson and Bukowski create strategic class associations that render the social and material pressures of contemporary American identity abstract and stylized in art. The hobo narrative becomes a symbolic site for popular culture and politics to re-value working-class identity as a productive cultural appeal, including but not limited to literature and television, such as in Mad Men. The hobo symbolic institutes a tension between social status and creative enterprise in what I call hobohemian practice, a writing technique that stages working-class associations for the possession of an American masculinity. This masculinity not only aims for hegemonic status, but values individuality and socio-economic latitude that consolidates the material conditions of an earlier generation. The concept of the hobohemian has resounding effects on the way that men construct authority as writers in the literary marketplace and as salesmen of American culture. Hobohemian practice guides my examination of the hobo narrative as it renders poverty a valuable creative association rather than a socio-economic condition. Since the hobo is both a marginal member of the working class and a constructed cultural fantasy of dominance, the hobo narrative becomes a site for examining the pressures of gender, race and class. I construct an interdisciplinary framework at the intersections of Working-Class Studies, American Studies and Masculinity Studies to highlight these social pressures as they inform the foundation of the hobo symbol in realist and naturalist literature at the turn of the century. From this foundation, I sketch a larger narrative of cultural circulation where the above authors draw on the mythos of the hobo and the politics of homelessness to market the cultural capital of white masculinity to the mid-to-late twentieth century intellectual marketplace.

▼ This dissertation considers how environmental humanities, in dialogue with Native studies, can enhance scholarship concerned with environmental justice. Maintaining a critical interest in how materiality – as conceived within material ecocriticism and American Indian relational ontologies – plays into these discourses, the dissertation examines representations of land, water, and community in late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century American Indian literature, in order to inform a deeper understanding of contemporary environmental and indigenous movements. Chapter one introduces the project's theoretical framework and diffractive methodology. The following three chapters, grouped under the presiding images of land, water, and community, examine a range of cultural and literary texts involving environmental justice organizing and activism. Chapter two argues for the liveliness of borders and demarcations of place in the reservation landscapes of novels by Louise Erdrich and Winona LaDuke. Chapter three investigates the discourse of environmental resources, focusing on recent mining projects and water activism in the Upper Midwest and reading online activist websites, the poetry of Cecelia Rose LaPointe, and Linda Hogan's novel Solar Storms. Chapter four analyzes how the rhetoric of prophecy influences coalitional activism in the work of Leslie Marmon Silko and in the recent indigenous movement Idle No More. The conclusion argues for the evolution of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) discourse using the work of Robin Wall Kimmerer. The dissertation's title plays on the term "organizing fictions" to refer both to the ontological underpinnings that influence identities and to the fiction and literature that inspires environmental activism.

▼ B. H. Roberts presented information to the leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in January of 1922 that fundamentally challenged the entire premise of their religious beliefs. New research shows that in addition to church leadership, this information was also presented during the next few months to a select group of highly educated Mormon men and women outside of church hierarchy. This group represented many aspects of Mormon belief, different areas of expertise, and varying approaches to dealing with challenging information. Their stories create a beautiful tapestry of Mormon life in the transition years from polygamy, frontier life, and resistance to statehood, assimilation, and respectability. A study of the people involved illuminates an important, overlooked, underappreciated, and exciting period of Mormon history.The information Roberts presented to both leadership and this group of Mormon intelligentsia remained hidden, denied, and ignored (but not forgotten) for over sixty years. It was discovered and published as Studies of the Book of Mormon in 1985. While focus has been placed on the documents themselves and on Roberts as either a top leader who lost his faith or as a “devil’s advocate” who was unconcerned about the contents of his studies, the impact of this information on the people who knew about them at that time has never been explored. In fact, it is often portrayed that no one but Roberts knew about the contents of his studies. This research demonstrates that dozens of people knew about the information contained in Roberts’s studies and that even when hidden and unaddressed, they had a large impact on Mormon culture and belief.

▼ Government sponsored propaganda and privately funded magazine advertisements contributed to and helped shape the decisions made by Americans throughout the twentieth century. This thesis analyzes the historical overlap of various forms of mass communication produced for American women in the World War II era, pinpointing specific causes for the similarities in the design and content of public propaganda and private advertising. I argue that federal intervention over privately funded magazine editors and advertising executives helped shape the economic, political, and social habits of female audiences. I also argue that because the Office of War Information placed advertising executives into leadership positions, publicly sponsored propaganda replicated advertising more than ever, which resulted in the government agency’s attempt to “sell war” to the American people. This, along with the direct comparison of propaganda and advertising, proves that collaboration existed between the seemingly public and private industries, resulting in the government effort to further extend control over the messages that influenced American women. This cooperation between the advertising industry, business leaders, and the federal government directly resulted in a historic redefinition of women’s roles in reaction to war time economic, social, and political requirements.

▼ This study explores the changing relationship between civic identity and economic rhetoric between the recession of 1913-14 and the years immediately following the recession of 1920-21 as represented by the main organ of the American consumer cooperative movement, Cooperation (originally called The Co-operative Consumer). Published originally by the Consumers' Cooperative Union and later by the Cooperative League of the United States, Cooperation promoted a revolutionary political economy and culture against "the evils of private capitalism and private profit." Targeted at cooperative organizers and members, the purpose of Cooperation was to facilitate cooperative organization and education, to report events concerning cooperatives, and to be a vehicle for cooperators, both nationally and internationally, to share ideas and strategies. Examining the ways in which this dialogue served to construct and refine cooperative thought in terms of revolutionary strategy and technique, this essay argues that cooperators' thought ultimately transcended consumer organization and translated into an alternate conceptualization of civic and political participation that attempted to balance radical communitarianism with an ideal of commutative justice.

▼ Historians have long overlooked and misunderstood the Parents Music Resource Center, an activist group formed in 1985 to correct perceived excesses in heavy metal music. Scholars have focused their analyses almost exclusively on the First Amendment implications of the group’s actions, largely dismissing the PMRC in the process. This thesis argues that by expanding the historical analysis of the group to include the social and political climate of previous generations and of the 1980s, the self-stated goals of the PMRC, and a musicological discussion of heavy metal and why the group specifically targeted this genre, we can see that the PMRC was in fact an incredibly influential sociopolitical activist group that is representative of the political shift in the United States in the 1980s.

▼ In the 1970s, the Boston Celtics were widely regarded as the pinnacle of “white” basketball, a style of play that emphasized teamwork, intelligence, efficiency, hard work, grit, and selflessness. They were upheld as a bulwark against the invasion and takeover of the NBA by “black” basketball. If the Celtics and “white” basketball represented everything good and honorable about the league, “black” basketball—and the players and teams who embodied it—represented everything wrong and morally abhorrent about the league. So-called “black” style players were flashy, self-centered, egotistical, greedy, and blessed with a supposedly “natural” athletic ability they had done nothing to earn. There are striking similarities between how the media framed the Celtics, its players, and opposing teams and the rhetoric used to articulate white, working-class anxieties that came to dominate the 1970s political landscape; both white working-class men and the Celtics were framed as underdogs, under attack from the forces of change, and ultimately needing to rely upon working-class masculine values to compete with the unfair “special advantages” given to blacks, whether welfare or innate athletic ability. The Celtics ultimately represented a bastion of white working-class masculinity, an athletic utopia in which hard work, toughness, and dedication could still lead to success and recognition. They also represented the ability of white men, through sheer determination and force of will, to overcome the “special advantages” granted to blacks—whether by the government, in the form of welfare and affirmative action, or by genetics, in the form of innate, unearned athletic ability. I argue that the narrative imposed by the media on the Boston Celtics, its players, and its opponents was the product of the unique political, social, and cultural developments of the 1970s and of those in Boston more specifically.

▼ Women in China have not always been constrained by Confucianism; women were once able to participate in social and political spheres that were later dominated by men during the Neo-Confucian period beginning during the Song dynasty. Women found themselves in newly controlled roles that left them with limited agency, mobility, or influence. Coinciding with the rise of Neo-Confucianism, female suicide became an avenue for women to gain honor and agency in a world very much organized by men.Once heralded by the Chinese Imperial state as prime examples of higher Confucian ideals, female suicides are now deemed an indicator of China's deeply rooted social problems. While the problem of female suicide remains, the way in which it is viewed by Chinese society has shifted. Much like a large population was once perceived to be beneficial to the Chinese state and now is seen as encumbering and disastrous, so too is female suicide. To understand the continued persistence of female suicide within Chinese culture we must take into consideration the immense gender inequality that was promulgated through tradition and further instilled through contemporary social, political, and economic gender inequity. Through the ultimate form of self-harm, women have attempted to right societal wrongs, save themselves from public scrutiny, ensure vindication, demonstrate chastity, mourn a husband, resist tyrants, or simply exercise individual agency within a highly regulated society. While their reasons have been varied, women turning to suicide primarily stems from their controlled, second-class status within traditional Chinese society.The large majority of research done on female suicide in China has been focused primarily on a particular topic such as the faithful maiden cult, chaste widows, or suicide in literature. This paper attempts to combine these different avenues of research to demonstrate the depth and breadth of female suicide within both the historical record and memory of China. This paper discusses female suicide in China through the multiple lenses of Confucian morals, Neo-Confucian ideals, and Western theories of suicide developed by French sociologist Emile Durkheim. In addition, an attempt to lend an interdisciplinary approach lends a nuanced argument to the continued phenomena of female suicide in China.

▼ Adding to the small body of historical and ethnohistorical scholarship on the Washoe Indians, including the works of James Downs, Jo Ann Nevers, and Mathew Makley, this thesis traces the route followed by the Washoe Indians of the eastern slope of the Sierra and Great Basin toward a reorganization of a tribal status and recognition of ancestral homelands, only achieved in the latter half of the twentieth century. The discovery of valuable minerals first in California and later in Utah territory (which would become
Nevada) caused an influx of population from the outside world. The lives and cultures of indigenous peoples in the Far West were forever altered by these events. The Washoe, unlike many other groups of American Indians, never entered into treaties or agreements with the federal government. In the absence of treaty recognition, the Washoe were left without any land and subsequently no homes, subsisting on the fringe of the newly arrived white society for decades to come. A major focal point of this thesis is the legal struggle of the Washoe Tribe of
Nevada and California before the Indians Claims Commission created in 1946 to win compensation for land and resources lost to the expansion of the American nation. The legal process brought into focus the power of expert testimony, namely the anthropologists, Dr. Julian H. Steward and his lesser-known antagonist Dr. Omer Call Stewart in determining the outcome of the ICC decisions. The contrasting arguments of two anthropological viewpoints affected the status of not only the Washoe before the Indian Claims Commission, but also marked a milestone in the development of American anthropology in the twentieth century.

▼ This thesis connects and explains the experiences of iconic athletes Jim Thorpe and Billy Mills by analyzing the cultural and political structures that frame the Native American experience. At the turn of the twentieth century progressive ideas of assimilation were fused with Muscular Christian views of sport in the Native American boarding school system. As a result, sports emerged as a middle ground where Native American athletes were able to coexist, cooperate, and assert their identity in broader American society. As the only two Native American Olympic Gold Medalists, Thorpe and Mills actively challenged the representations of Native Americans. Their lives however, were vastly different. Changes in the federal Indian policies distinguish the experiences of Thorpe and Mills. While boarding school athletic teams remained central to Native American athletics, the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act altered the sporting middle ground. Boarding schools moved away from high profile athletic teams, reducing the number of prominent Native American athletes in mainstream society. Military service however, joined the boarding school and continued the sporting middle ground. The lives of Thorpe and Mills illustrate that, amidst these changes, sports remained an important place for Native American activism.
