This book examines the British colonial expansion in the so-called unadministered hill tracts of the Indo-Burma frontier and the change of colonial policy from non-intervention to intervention. The book begins with the end of the First Anglo-Burmese War (1824–26), which resulted in the British annexation of the North-Eastern Frontier of Bengal and the extension of its sway over the Arakan and Manipur frontiers, and closes with the separation of Burma from India in 1937. The volume documents the resistance of the indigenous hill peoples to colonial penetration; administrative policies such as disarmament; subjugation of the local chiefs under a colonial legal framework and its impact; standardisation of ‘Chin’ as an ethnic category for the fragmented tribes and sub-tribes; and the creation and consolidation of the Chin Hills District as a political entity to provide an extensive account of British relations with the indigenous Chin/Zo community from 1824 to 1935. By situating these within the larger context of British imperial policy, the book makes a critical analysis of the British approach towards the Indo-Burma frontier. With its coverage of key archival sources and literature, this book will interest scholars and researchers in modern Indian history, military history, colonial history, British history, South Asian history and Southeast Asian history.

If one seeks to understand Haudenosaunee (Six Nations) history, one must consider the history of Haudenosaunee land. For countless generations prior to European contact, land and territory informed Haudenosaunee thought and philosophy, and was a primary determinant of Haudenosaunee identity. In The Clay We Are Made Of, Susan M. Hill presents a revolutionary retelling of the history of the Grand River Haudenosaunee from their Creation Story through European contact to contemporary land claims negotiations. She incorporates Indigenous theory, Fourth world post-colonialism, and Amerindian autohistory, along with Haudenosaunee languages, oral records, and wampum strings to provide the most comprehensive account of the Haudenosaunee’s relationship to their land. Hill outlines the basic principles and historical knowledge contained within four key epics passed down through Haudenosaunee cultural history. She highlights the political role of women in land negotiations and dispels their misrepresentation in the scholarly canon. She guides the reader through treaty relationships with Dutch, French, and British settler nations, including the Kaswentha/Two-Row Wampum (the precursor to all future Haudenosaunee-European treaties), the Covenant Chain, the Nanfan Treaty, and the Haldimand Proclamation, and concludes with a discussion of the current problematic relationships between the Grand River Haudenosaunee, the Crown, and the Canadian government.

"The Shepherd of the Hills" by Harold Bell Wright depicts the lives of mountain people living in the Ozarks. The main story surrounds the relationship between Grant "Old Matt" Matthews Senior and Dad Howitt, an elderly, mysterious, learned man who has escaped the buzzing restlessness of the city to live in the backwoods neighborhood of Mutton Hollow. Howitt spends his time alone, acting as a mediator and friend to the mountain people, and trying to recover from his tragic past, which includes the prior deaths of his wife and children, and the later presumed madness and subsequent suicide of his only surviving child, his artist son.

Throughout his entire career, American novelist John Fox Jr. was dedicated to documenting the complexities of the culture in his native South. However, in his later works, Fox Jr. began to take a broader view, including some of the external influences that helped to shape Southern life, as elements of his fiction. In The Heart of the Hills, the final volume of Fox Jr.'s acclaimed Mountain Trilogy (following The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come and The Trail of the Lonesome Pine), Fox Jr. explores the way that outside players exploited the impoverished people of the South and the region's abundant natural resources for their own selfish gain.

Traditional institutions in the Khasi-Jaintia society are “living organisms” which have existed for centuries and internally evolved from one phase to another. Despite having come into contact with newer and more modern forms of administration, they continue to exist, backed by local public opinion that has called for their continuity amidst diminishing responsibility and utility. This collection of papers explores the landscapes of traditional institutions that exist in the present Khasi and Jaintia Hills in Meghalaya, India. The chapters blend oral tradition with historical records and available sources from secondary literature. They examine the interplay of power and functions between the constitutional authorities, such as the state government, and the Autonomous District Councils and traditional authorities represented by the traditional institutions.

To many antebellum Americans, Appalachia was a frightening wilderness of lawlessness, peril, robbers, and hidden dangers. The extensive media coverage of horse stealing and scalping raids profiled the regionÕs residents as intrinsically violent. After the Civil War, this characterization continued to permeate perceptions of the area and news of the conflict between the Hatfields and the McCoys, as well as the bloodshed associated with the coal labor strikes, cemented AppalachiaÕs violent reputation. Blood in the Hills: A History of Violence in Appalachia provides an in-depth historical analysis of hostility in the region from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century. Editor Bruce E. Stewart discusses aspects of the Appalachian violence culture, examining skirmishes with the native population, conflicts resulting from the regionÕs rapid modernization, and violence as a function of social control. The contributors also address geographical isolation and ethnicity, kinship, gender, class, and race with the purpose of shedding light on an often-stereotyped regional past. Blood in the Hills does not attempt to apologize for the region but uses detailed research and analysis to explain it, delving into the social and political factors that have defined Appalachia throughout its violent history.

Charles Barron McIntosh has devoted a lifetime of scholarship to the history of human activity on Nebraska’s Sand Hills, the spare, beautiful land that occupies much of western Nebraska. From carefully deciphering Native American occupancy through rigorous analysis of thousands of arrowheads, to patiently combing through decades of courthouse land title transaction records, McIntosh has mastered the sweep of centuries of human interaction with the land. We learn how the land shapes humankind, far more than pride would have us believe, and we see that perhaps our real success lies in learning how to live with the land, rather than attempting to master it. The Nebraska Sand Hills reflects McIntosh’s lifetime of learning, reading, questioning, analyzing—in short, everything it means to be a scholar; seldom are these efforts so well demonstrated. His affection for this unique landscape is present on every page.

A San Francisco, on alterne les montées et les descentes pour finalement buter contre un mur qui barre la rue. Là il faut abandonner la machine pour retrouver le pas. Seuls des escaliers permettent de suivre la pente et raccorder deux tronçons de la même rue. Tout au long de ce trajet on enchaîne une vue de la rue montant vers le ciel dans un cadre de tours d'appartements, un panoramique de la ville dans son site, une descente vertigineuse entre des maisons en bois, une autre montée vers le ciel encadrée de maisonnettes décorées, puis un plan rapproché de jardins exubérants sur lesquels s'ouvrent des entrées privées avant de fi sur une vue saisissante de la baie et de l'Oakland Bay Bridge. A chaque sommet, la baie apparaît et souligne les limites du territoire. De colline en colline la cité se regarde dans un incessant jeu de miroir. Dans un paysage grandiose où ponts et autoroutes marient la mer et la terre et où chaque colline est un quartier, Nature et Architecture s'entremêlent pour composer une ville tour à tour triomphante, modeste et familière. Comme la plupart des villes américaines, San Francisco s'est développée suivant un système de grille orthogonale. Son site présentait pourtant une topographie mouvementée ne comptant pas moins de quarante-deux collines. La grille habituellement utilisée en terrain plat rencontre ici une nature rebelle et insoumise. Il en résulte un phénomène peu commun : les rues rectilignes jouent aux montagnes russes car ici l'outil du colonisateur et les reliefs sont entrés en guerre au mépris d'une rationalité évidente. Pourquoi la ville ne s'est-elle pas adaptée à son site comme le laissait prévoir le bon sens usuel ?
