An award-winning travel writer and journalist uncovers the rich and unexpected history of Britain's deep-rooted ties with South America.

The Story of the Crow Indians

This book examines 'womanhood' and 'race' not only as disputed, converging, and constantly changing categories and lived experiences, but also as interrelated and unequal subjectivities and social realties that shaped all early-twentieth century Puerto Ricans. It empirically documents just how significantly 'womanhood' and 'race' were inextricably intertwined in Puerto Rico between 1914 and 1945, a decisive period in U.S. expansionism and in the transformation of this island. Through a comparative analysis and description of specific subjects in early-twentieth century Puerto Rico—mostly Puerto Ricans from different races and social classes, but also some North Americans as well—the book demonstrates the extent to which 'womanhood' and 'race' are a more thorny, volatile, and unstable than is commonly acknowledged within Women’s History and Caribbean Studies. This is the first book that examines the relationships between women in Puerto Rico from divergent social classes and racialized positions by mostly focusing on the socioeconomic and racial inequalities among colonized women in Puerto Rico. This is in marked contrast with most Women’s History globally which mainly concentrates either on the lives of elite women or, at best, on the unequal relationships between colonizer- and/or European-descended women vis-à-vis colonized- and/or non-white women. In this book 'womanhood' and 'race' are not seen as separate, nor as already given, historically and culturally immutable 'things.’ Those are some of the lacunae this book transcends, primarily in the case of white-Creole women relative to non-white Island women and the images socially constructed of them in Puerto Rico, as well as for racially located Puerto Ricans more broadly. Within this context, the book enables a different reading of already known documents while demonstrating the importance of examining unused or forgotten bibliographical sources, some of them previously untranslated.Gladys M. Jiménez-Muñoz is an Associate Professor at the Sociology Department at Binghamton University-SUNY.&nbsp;

In a little-known mountain range in southern New Mexico is an unremarkable mountain called Victorio Peak. In a cavern in that mountain, it is rumored that billions of dollars' worth of artifacts and thousands of gold and silver ingots and coins have been cached for decades, a treasure that dwarfs all others. The incredible treasure mystery associated with Victorio Peak is, in fact, one of the most bizarre and confounding mysteries in American history and involves what my well be the largest treasure cache known to man.

Drawing upon the span of American history from the seventeenth century to the present, Bret Carroll explores masculinity's importance as a leitmotif to understand a broad range of human relations. He argues that throughout our history masculinity has been a powerful force across geographical, racial, ethnic, and class lines.

"Using primary Persian and other previously unused source material this book describes Iran's activities at the Peace of Paris in 1919 and how Iran's intentions and desiderata were to put them at loggerheads with Britain's own plans for Iran and the Middle East. It shows that Iran's diplomacy in Paris was to be the focal point of a politically vibrant and febrile period after the WWI and provides an in-depth study of this important transitional period, when Iran first set out a programme for a contemporary, territorial, yet imperial nationalism, between the Qajar and Pahlavi dynasties"--
