Father Junipero Serra and the California Missions Autor: Sarah Bowler America's fastest-growing ethnic minority has increased by nearly 60 percent since 1990, yet quality materials chronicling this rich culture are often lacking in today's curriculum. Developed with the same bold, intelligent initiative as our renowned series, Journey to Freedom, A Proud Heritage helps students gain a deep appreciation for Spanish-speaking peoples and nations and their essential contributions. Beautifully designed volumes include exciting biographies, historical narratives, and lively introductions to holidays such as Cinco de Mayo. |

Indians, Missionaries, and Merchants: The Legacy of Colonial Encounters on the California Frontiers Autor: Kent G. Lightfoot California's earliest European colonists - Russian merchants and Franciscan missionaries - both depended heavily on Native American labor to build and maintain their colonies, but they did so in very different ways. This richly detailed book brings together disparate skeins of history - including little-known oral histories, native texts, ethnohistory, and archaeological excavations - to present a vivid new look at how native cultures fared under these two colonial systems. In addition to providing a new window on California's colonial past, Kent Lightfoot's innovative work, incorporating the holistic methods of historical anthropology, explores the surprising ramifications of these long-ago encounters for the political status of native people in the state today. |
