Download or read book Indians Missionaries and Merchants written by Kent Lightfoot and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2004-11-29 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California’s earliest European colonists—Russian merchants and Spanish missionaries—depended heavily on Native Americans for labor to build and maintain their colonies, but they did so in very different ways. This richly detailed book brings together disparate skeins of the past—including little-known oral histories, native texts, ethnohistory, and archaeological excavations—to present a vivid new view of how native cultures fared under these two colonial systems. Kent Lightfoot’s innovative work, which incorporates the holistic methods of historical anthropology, explores the surprising ramifications of these long-ago encounters for the present-day political status of native people in California. Lightfoot weaves the results of his own significant archaeological research at Fort Ross, a major Russian mercantile colony, into a cross-cultural comparison, showing how these two colonial ventures—one primarily mercantile and one primarily religious—contributed to the development of new kinds of native identities, social forms, and tribal relationships. His lively account includes personal anecdotes from the field and a provocative discussion of the role played by early ethnographers, such as Alfred Kroeber, in influencing which tribes would eventually receive federal recognition. Indians, Missionaries, and Merchants takes a fascinating, yet troubling, look at California’s past and its role in shaping the state today.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Publications, Historical Society of Southern California, 1918-1920, Vol. 11 Frenchmen on this Spanish system, I Should have desired that to the principles of Christianity they had joined a legislation which, little by little, could have made citizens of the men whose state does not differ from that of the negroes of our most humanely governed colonies.23 Perhaps, they concluded, this system had been adopted for powerful' reasons Of state, with the Object of extending the Spanish interests further north. These Frenchmen were much interested, also, in the natural resources of California, since the richness and fertility of the country were not generally known. The records of La Perouse furnished the first information France had, taken from actual Observation, of California, but he saw little of the country below Monterey, nor was he informed by the Spanish of their outposts in the South. The missionaries had taken but Slight advantage of the possibilities Of the fertile soils around Monterey, and outside Of growing some few grains and vegetables, they had made but few experiments along agricultural lines. La Perouse realized that many kinds of grains, vegetables, and fruit trees could easily be raised, and' he gave the padres new seeds for experimental use. California also is indebted to him for the introduction of the potato, which he brought with him from Chile. The fur trade, too, was of interest to the Frenchmen. La Perouse estimated that twenty thousand skins a year were available for exportation from California to China, where the Chinese man darins furnished an almost unlimited demand for valuable Skins. Although the Spanish and Russian traders were already collecting pelts up and down the coast from Kamchatka to Monterey, yet La Perouse felt that there was also a wide field there for private French companies. He did not advise the French Government to establish a factory, however, since he considered that this trade would be more valuable in the hands of private French merchants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A gem of historical scholarship!”—Vicki L. Ruiz, author of From Out of the Shadows: Mexican Women in Twentieth-Century America How do intimate relationships reveal, reflect, enable, or enact the social and political dimensions of imperial projects? In particular, how did colonial relations in late-eighteenth- and nineteenth-century southern California implicate sexuality, marriage, and kinship ties? In Colonial Intimacies, Erika Pérez probes everyday relationships, encounters, and interactions to show how intimate choices about marriage, social networks, and godparentage were embedded in larger geopolitical concerns. Her work reveals, through the lens of social and familial intimacy, subtle tools of conquest and acts of resistance and accommodation among indigenous peoples, Spanish-Mexican settlers, Franciscan missionaries, and European and Anglo-American merchants. Concentrating on Catholic conversion, compadrazgo (baptismal sponsorship that often forged interethnic relations), and intermarriage, Pérez examines the ways indigenous and Spanish-Mexican women helped shape communities and sustained their culture. She uncovers an unexpected fluidity in Californian society—shaped by race, class, gender, religion, and kinship—that persisted through the colony’s transition from Spanish to American rule. Colonial Intimacies focuses on the offspring of interethnic couples and their strategies for coping with colonial rule and negotiating racial and cultural identities. Pérez argues that these sons and daughters experienced conquest in different ways tied directly to their gender, and in turn faced different options in terms of marriage partners, economic status, social networks, and expressions of biculturality. Offering a more nuanced understanding of the colonial experience, Colonial Intimacies exposes the personal ties that undergirded imperial relationships in Spanish, Mexican, and early American California.
Download or read book Inventing the Dream written by Kevin Starr and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1986-12-04 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second volume in Kevin Starr's passionate and ambitious cultural history of the Golden State focuses on the turn-of-the-century years and the emergence of Southern California as a regional culture in its own right. "How hauntingly beautiful, how replete with lost possibilities, seems that Southern California of two and three generations ago, now that a dramatically diferent society has emerged in its place," writes Starr. As he recreates the "lost California," Starr examines the rich variety of elements that figured in the growth of the Southern California way of life: the Spanish/Mexican roots, the fertile land, the Mediterranean-like climate, the special styles in architecture, the rise of Hollywood. He gives us a broad array of engaging (and often eccentric) characters: from Harrision Gray Otis to Helen Hunt Jackson to Cecil B. DeMille. Whether discussing the growth of winemaking or the burgeoning of reform movements, Starr keeps his central theme in sharp focus: how Californians defined their identity to themselves and to the nation.
