A Zuni Artist Looks at Frank Hamilton Cushing

Description

In 1879 Frank Hamilton Cushing rode unannounced into Zuni Pueblo. Sent by the Smithsonian Institution| he stayed at Zuni until 1884 and became the world’s first live-in anthropologist. His writings gave Zuni a fame it never sought. Now Phil Hughte turns the tables on Cushing. His drawings tell the story of Cushing from the Zuni perspective| with anthropological commentaries by Triloki Nath Pandey| Jim Ostler| and Krisztina Kosse. This unique book will be relished especially by anthropologists| American Indians| and other people who partake of more than one culture. A Zuni Artist Looks at Frank Hamilton Cushing was originally published by Zuni A: shiwi Publishing in 1994| but is now widely available through University of New Mexico Press. I loved it –W.
