Abstract:During Prohibition in the US, many in the Great Plains were involved in the illegal production, distribution, sale, possession, and consumption of illicit alcohol. Some were Americans who were already well established in the country, and others were relative newcomers who still embraced traditions, practices, and ideals of their home countries. This research seeks to determine if first- and second-generation immigrants committed more infractions of Prohibition laws in one Nebraska county than did those who had assimilated over a longer period of time.

Abstract:This article examines Era Bell Thompson's autobiography, American Daughter (1946), and her travel memoir, Africa, Land of My Fathers (1954), to consider how she articulates the relationship between race and region. My approach to American Daughter examines how African American western women contribute to a "re-presentation" of region apart from dominant (white, male) representations. Using Katherine McKittrick's ideas as a framework, I argue that American Daughter revises traditional presentations of region to reflect the African American woman's experiences in the early twentieth-century Midwest. The analysis of American Daughter leads into a discussion about how Thompson represents the relationship between race and place in Africa, Land of My Fathers. In Africa, as in American Daughter, Thompson, while traveling the continent, experiences a palpable double estrangement that reflects the tensions between her ethnic and national identities. Thompson's journey through the continent represents a reversal of the frontier journey. Thompson's African memoir also sheds light on the significance of regional identity in global interactions during the mid-twentieth century.
摘要:本文考察了Era Bell Thompson的自传《美国女儿》(1946年)和她的旅行回忆录《非洲,我父亲的土地》(1954年),以思考她如何阐述种族和地区之间的关系。我对《美国女儿》的研究考察了非裔美国西方女性如何在不同于占主导地位的(白人、男性)代表的情况下,对该地区的“重新呈现”做出贡献。以Katherine McKittrick的思想为框架,我认为《美国女儿》修改了传统的地区表述,以反映20世纪初中西部的非裔美国妇女的经历。对《美国女儿》的分析引发了一场关于汤普森如何在《我父亲的土地》中表现种族和地方之间的关系的讨论。在非洲,就像在《美国女儿》中一样,汤普森在非洲大陆旅行时,经历了明显的双重隔阂,这反映了她的种族和国家身份之间的紧张关系。汤普森穿越非洲大陆的旅程代表了边境之旅的逆转。汤普森的非洲回忆录也揭示了区域认同在20世纪中期全球互动中的重要性。

men who navigated often hostile terrain to find athletic and academic success. An important claim Jacobus makes is that, despite differences in racial tensions from one city to the next, common themes often reverberated as African Americans negotiated a nuanced Jim Crow system designed to keep African Americans in an inferior status. Jacobus also argues that resistance to desegregation could be explained by the demographics and geography of a particular desegregating town. According to Jacobus, for cities where African American populations were smaller in size, the process of desegregation was easier than in spaces where the numbers of black residents were large enough to rival their white counterparts. Jacobus also claims that proximity to the former Confederacy helped to determine resistance to desegregation. The result was that spaces like Dallas, Houston, and East Texas were slower to desegregate while spaces like Corpus Christi and San Antonio desegregated relatively early. One of the reasons Jacobus’s text is valuable is that it analyzes the reasons why black players elected to stay at black high schools or colleges and why they chose to enter desegregated spaces. Jacobus probes black former student athletes who traveled outside the South to play college football. He reveals that close ties, academic resources, and the presence of other black students helped to provide black student athletes with enough incentive to persist, matriculate, and ultimately graduate from white colleges located outside the South. Jacobus’s book is an excellent addition to the study of school desegregation and the desegregation of sports institutions. This is a text for both fans and scholars of sport history. It uses firstperson accounts to explain how players— black, white, and Latino, along with their coaches— negotiated this complex set of social, political, and athletic issues related to desegregation in the post– Brown v. Board of Education era to achieve athletic and academic success.

Abstract:During the mid-nineteenth century, Nuevomexicano workers and traders played a crucial but paradoxical role in Great Plains economic and political life. Expert artisans, superb livestock wranglers, and shrewd bargainers, they were essential to the solidification of fur trade infrastructure and trade along the Santa Fe Trail. Yet the same skills that made these men successful—especially their successful dealings with Native peoples—also made them targets of Anglo-American suspicion, fear, and resentment. The same entrepreneurs who valued Nuevomexicano labor and skill worried that these traders represented a threat to the United States' tenuous hold on the region. Between the tense years preceding the US-Mexican War and the end of the Red River War in 1875, territorial officials and military officers attempted to restrict the movement and activities of Nuevomexicano traders and hunters, with little success. Not until the final confinement of the Comanche and Kiowa to reservations in Indian Territory did commerce end and these men cease to be viewed as a potential threat to Anglo-American sovereignty in the Great Plains.

Interrupting the border between North and South Dakota, its communities are mostly Lakota (Hunkpapa) and Dakota (Yanktonai) speakers. One of the Ihanktowanna communities is Cannon Ball, the northernmost community. It is not far from there that “Standing Rock” originated in 2016. Apart from its real presence in camps on and off the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, “Standing Rock” existed mostly, however, in cyberspace. This community reached out through social media and the internet, and eventually spanned the globe. As it expanded, it also changed. Many people who stood with Standing Rock had never heard of the actual place. Standing Rock became a feeling, a statement in its own right, a symbol, a manifesto. The reason for all the protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline at this point was the Corps of Engineers’ responsibility to issue a permit for the pipeline to cross the Missouri River, now Lake Oahe. Since 2016, articles and books have been written, documentaries screened, and lawsuits filed over the meaning of Standing Rock. Here, I will discuss four of these books.

[GPQ 42(2022年冬春):147–157]一个地方:Standing Rock Sioux保留地,Standing Rocks Sioux部落的家园。中断了北达科他州和南达科他州之间的边界,其社区主要是讲拉科塔语(亨克帕帕语)和达科他语(扬克托奈语)的人。伊汉克托瓦纳社区中的一个是最北端的坎农鲍尔社区。就在不远处,“立石”起源于2016年。然而,除了它在Standing Rock Sioux保留地内外的营地中的真实存在之外,“Standing Rock”主要存在于网络空间中。这个社区通过社交媒体和互联网进行接触,最终遍及全球。随着它的扩张,它也发生了变化。许多站在Standing Rock旁边的人从未听说过真正的地方。立石成了一种感觉,一种声明,一种象征,一种宣言。在这一点上,所有反对达科他州接入管道的抗议活动的原因是工程兵团有责任为管道颁发穿越密苏里河(现在的瓦河)的许可证。自2016年以来,人们撰写了文章和书籍,放映了纪录片,并就Standing Rock的含义提起了诉讼。在这里,我将讨论其中的四本书。Katherine Wiltenburg Todrys的《黑蛇》描述了围绕抗议活动的事件书评
