Extractions: Community Stories Outreach Kits help bring history alive in your classroom by exploring the rich diversity of the American West. Each outreach kit in the series profiles a community in 1890 through the eyes of an actual person. Hands-on objects, photographs, videos, and other resource materials animate these carefully researched stories and actively engage students in learning. Lesson plans and activities encourage students to investigate their own family and community history. Students will discover what life after slavery was like for the African American community through the story of Ellen Cook, a midwife who sharecropped in Texas before moving to California. This kit explores the challenges, opportunities, and discrimination faced by African Americans through lessons about migration, education, oral history, and quilting. The rich heritage of this Tejano family provides material about the Mexican-American War, vaqueros, and ranching at the turn of the 20th century. Their history in Texas can be traced back to the battle of the Alamo, where an ancestor fought on the side of the United States. Students will identify heroes in their community who have had an impact on their lives. Students will use primary documents, photographs, and objects to learn the story of Kelly Roth, a Jewish immigrant to California from Hungary in 1892. Lessons about immigration, citizenship, and Jewish traditions are drawn from the life of an entrepreneur with a history in Los Angeles that included owing a cigar stand downtown.

Extractions: Luis Ortega's Rawhide Artistry: Braiding in the California tradition April 3 to July 4, 2005 Art and function intertwine gracefully in the work of Luis Ortega. Many of the best California horsemen of the 20th century have used his braided reins and hackamores, marveling at his ability to create horse equipment with just the right flexibility and weight. A fifth-generation Californian, Ortega reigned for half a century as America's most respected rawhide braider, famous for his intricate and colorful work. We can admire the meticulous braiding of Ortega on its own merit, but to understand the braider we must gain an appreciation of his life-long quest to uphold the proud Spanish traditions of his legendary California family. This exhibition is a tribute to Luis and Rose Ortega, honoring their accomplishments and their legacy among horsemen throughout the West. August 1, 2004 to May 8, 2005 is the first exhibition in a three-part series of exhibitions specifically designed to gather visitor input and comments in order to inform a permanent installation at the Museum of the American West. This exhibition tells of the long history of the Spanish in the West. Spanish explorers wandered Texas and New Mexico just fifty years after Columbus first sailed across the Atlantic, and for two centuries they were the only European settlers in what is now the western United States.

Extractions: In Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination , Toni Morrison charges that "silence and evasion have historically ruled literary discourse" concerning race (9). Twentieth century literary discourse, rooted in linguistic and textual criticism, according to Henry Louis Gates, "rendered implicit" the idea of race (47). Gates suggests that as literary critics identified the "master" texts of the western tradition, race was overshadowed by discussions of form, structure, and language. Building on the work of Morrison and Gates, many critics have taken on the task of analyzing the implicit nature of race, and more recently, the discourse of whiteness in literature. The Good Earth , provides an example of a popular text that, while not overtly concerned with racial construction, contains a subtle discourse that must be read critically from the perspective that Morrison suggests. An examination of the position of Chinese immigrants in the United States in the novel's initial publication and Buck's own racial politics provide crucial elements in an analysis of the subtle racial discourse in

Extractions: December 3, 1999 H umanitarian Interventionists and Benevolent Global Hegemonists, most of whom lack even a rudimentary understanding of China's long and complex history, share a particularly nasty trait. Many of these Globocops imagine because they have downloaded a few pages of separatist propaganda from tibet.org, and shed a tear or two while watching "Seven Years in Tibet," that qualifies them as China experts. They believe this qualifies them to pass judgment about whether China "deserves" to remain intact or be forcibly Balkanized by the World's Only Remaining Superpower. Their attitude rivals that of the most contemptible 19th century imperialists. I have seen Mel Gibson's "Braveheart" once in the theater and several times on cable, and I never cease to be deeply moved by what screenwriting teachers term "a good story, well told." The same holds true of Neil Jordan's political biography "Michael Collins," about the famous, or infamous Irish revolutionary of the same name. I do not however assume merely because I have enjoyed a well scripted and well produced two hours of entertainment that I have necessarily learned anything substantive about English, Scottish or Irish history. I retain enough presence of mind to recall Hollywood's record of playing fast and loose with historical facts, motivated by either commercial considerations or the filmmakers' political biases.

The collection covers the dramatic decades between the Gold Rush and the turn of the twentieth century. It captures the pioneer experience; encounters between Anglo-Americans and the diverse peoples who had preceded them; the transformation of the land by mining, ranching, agriculture, and urban development; the often-turbulent growth of communities and cities; and California's emergence as both a state and a place of uniquely American dreams. There are two particular works that offer external perceptions of the Chinese in California. The first, Two years in California , documents Mary Cone's experiences in the West; she writes a chapter on her

It's free! Save it. The way Chinese medicine has spread to the countries east of China, e.g. to Japan, is well documented. It is, however, hardly known when, and how Chinese medical theories were introduced into the western world. We were interested to research into this question. Some western historians had, however, denied any passage of ideas from China to the west for various reasons based on geopolitical considerations. The Parthians and Their Restrictive Policy The Parthians, called An-Xi in Chinese, were a people that flourished in the 3rd century BC in what is today north-east Iran, east of the Caspian Sea and bordering the Sogdian empire. They recognized that they, by dividing the Fertile Crescent against the Seleucids and later the Romans, were able to control the trade routes between Asia and the Greco-Roman world. Thus the passage of ideas from China to the west was channeled through or even withheld by the Parthians. They successfully defended their position of monopoly against all competitors for about half a millenium. This may account also for the paucity of Chinese scientific ideas that reached the west at that time. This policy, in turn, impeded also the transfer of ideas from western countries to China. For, as the author of the Wei Liieh (5th cent. AD) says: "The An-Xi people (Parthians) wanted to make profit out of their trade with us, and would not allow them to pass their country" (Needham I, 1954 p. 197).

Extractions: Earth Tones: Ethnic Expression in Western American Literature Introduction Y EARS OF FORMULAIC NOVELS Blacks, for example, accompanied Columbus and served with Cortez, so it is not surprising to find among the earliest "European" explorers of the West the names of Jean Baptiste Pointe du Sable, credited with founding Chicago, and Esteban (Stephen Dorantes), who early covered much of the Southwest. By the period of the cattle kingdom, Philip Durham and Everett Jones have shown, "more than five thousand Negroes played a part and did a job." Afro-Americans were not unique in having contributed to the opening of the West, nor were non-whites the only "ethnics" in the region. To the extent that a group was or is hyphenated in the popular view-identified with its place of origin–whether by appearance, society, or language, it becomes in effect a culture within a culture. One of the most sensitive treatments of this enduring American phenomenon came from Colorado's Carey McWilliams, whose Brothers Under the Skin (1964, rev. ed.) remains a classic text. Paul Horgan's
Extractions: We need to begin by thinking clearly about the range of meanings encompassed in the phrase meeting ground of peoples. Meetings can be peaceful or violent, and they can result in destruction, amalgamation, or any number of mixed outcomes between these extremes. Because of the way most western history has been written, we think first of violent conflictIndian wars, in particularand of the rapid European-American conquest of the western part of the continent in the mid to late nineteenth century. But, this nineteenth-century focus leads to a simple and truncated view of western history. A longer, more gendered perspective yields a much more complicated and fascinating story of real people of one cultural group, encumbered with their own ideas about race and gender, meeting strangers with different cultural ideas. Lets look first at the impact of some meetings on the first western women: Native American women. Trade and Conquest It was, however, rare for a Native American tribe to live continuously at peace with all of its neighbors. The possibility of capture put women at extreme risk in hostile situations. War parties prized women and young children; invaders usually killed adult males whom they considered too dangerous and troublesome. Captive women had several benefits, especially as workers and as childbearers. They added to both the productive and reproductive capacity of their captors. Captivity, rather than death, was the most common fate of women when Native American societies warred with each other. As one can see from these two examples, women were valued for their sexuality as well as for their abilities to produce and trade.

Extractions: Racially motivated lynching was an infrequent but not anomalous occurrence in the western United States in the early twentieth century. The collective murder of Joel Woodson in Green River in 1918 had been preceded by the mob killings of three African Americans in Wyoming, each accused of raping white women, in the previous fourteen years. The lynching of Yung Fook in Kern County in 1901 had been anticipated by the collective killing of two Chinese, both accused of murder, in California in the preceding fourteen years. Our understanding of western collective violence has been dominated by an interpretation shaped by its initial historians, such as Hubert Howe Bancroft, and in representations in popular culture. This familiar view, of course, argued that western vigilantism resulted from the inadequacy of law enforcement and courtseither because of geographical distance, corruption, or the sheer novelty and instability of frontier society. This initial interpretation of western vigilantes legitimated and indeed sanctified their activities as the appropriate response of democratic citizens to frontier disorder.
