  • Native American Women Leaders

    Open AccessRoger L NicholsARTICLEThe Journal of American Culture2023

    The author of this slender volume, Edward J. Rielly, claims that Indigenous women have not received their proper place in the history between their people and the invading white Americans. His book partially fills that gap, as it offers well-written, mostly emphatic mini-biographies or career synopses of what he calls “fourteen exceptional women” (2) who lived between 1700 and the present. This work adds to eight similar books that attempt to exa…

  • Native Hoops

    Open AccessRoger L NicholsARTICLEJournal of American History2021Cited by: 2

    In this ambitious book, Wade Davies combines the development of basketball in the United States with American Indian history. Organized chronologically, each chapter focuses on a particular topic or issue, ranging from "Origins" to "An Indian School Sport" to "Communities." The book's central thesis is that when federal Indian schools introduced basketball to their students at the turn of the twentieth century, they unwittingly set in motion a pr…

  • Indian Captive, Indian King

    Roger L NicholsARTICLEJournal of American History2018

    For centuries, Europeans and Americans have been selling tales of their travels and adventures in frontier and western America. Peter Williamson's self-published French and Indian Cruelty (1757) fits into that genre. Nearly contemporary to the writings of Hector St. John Crèvecoeur, Gottlieb Mittleberger, and Peter Kalm, Williamson's account presents events and social trends similar to what each of the others offered their readers. Appearing firs…

  • Who Are the People of God?

    Roger L Nichols, Roger NicholsBOOKWho Are the People of God?2017

    In this provocative book, an eminent scholar examines the complex factors that shaped Judaism and early Christianity, analyzing cardinal Judaic and Christian texts and the cultural worlds in which they were written. Howard Clark Kee's sociocultural approach emphasizes the diversity of viewpoint and belief present in Judaism and in early Christianity, as well as the many ways in which the two religions reacted to each other and to the changing cir…

  • Agape and Eros (II)

    Richard D E Burton, Roger L Nichols et al.CHAPTEROlivier Messiaen2016

    Burton here looks at the versions of the Tristan story and the explorations of Amerindian cultures made at this time. In any case, Messiaen’s literary source was in all likelihood Joseph Bédier’s ‘lively and accessible rewriting of the myth in modern French’, rather than Gottfried von Strasburg’s version, followed by Wagner. One of Burton’s main concerns, though, is the question ‘But where in all this is King Mark?’ Messiaen’s apparent refusal to…

  • Agape and Eros (I)

    Richard D E Burton, Roger L Nichols et al.CHAPTEROlivier Messiaen2016

    In this chapter on the two song cycles Poèmes pour Mi and Chants de Terre et de Ciel, the focus is on Messiaen’s musical responses to his first marriage to Claire Delbos, and to the birth of their son Pascal in July 1937. Burton is particularly puzzled by the gradual elimination of Claire from the songs supposedly dedicated to her, which he even categorizes as ‘not Poèmes pour Mi but Poems for Me ...’ Among the topics discussed are the relationsh…

  • Metis and the Medicine Line

    Roger L NicholsARTICLEEthnohistory2016

    Prior to 2000 historians used the term borderlands to refer to the US-Mexico border area. Since then, however, that has changed dramatically, as this study illustrates. Many borderlands historians have turned their attention north to the US-Canada boundary region. At the same time, the research focus expanded and now incorporates both transnational and comparative studies in what has become a growing and fascinating new approach to North American…

  • The Canada–US Border and Indigenous Peoples in the Nineteenth Century

    Roger L NicholsARTICLEThe American Review of Canadian…2010

    A comparative analysis of indigenous people's experiences in Canada and the United States during the nineteenth century demonstrates broad similarities. Despite shared long-term efforts in both nations to erase Indians' presence, often each government had different motivations and policies. On the other hand, implementing the procedures in each society showed little variety. Canadian actions evolved from British motivations to local ones. Then th…

  • The Shawnees and Their Neighbors, 1795-1870

    Roger L NicholsARTICLEJournal of American History2006

    This slender volume traces some of the history and culture of the Shawnee Indians as they moved gradually west from Ohio to the Indian Territory by the late nineteenth century. The author presented his central theme clearly. For him, the Shawnee tribe, or nation, evolved gradually from a society originally living in some two hundred scattered villages under local chiefs to a group with leaders claiming the exclusive right to deal with the U.S. go…

    North America,and in particular the United States, has fascinated Europeans as the place of the "exotic other " for at least the last two centuries. This article surveys American and European art, novels,radio programs, Western films, and television Westerns from the 1820s to the present.

  • Myths and Realities in American–Canadian Studies

    From the start it is clear that several myths surround the comparative study of historical issues in America and Canada. First, the assumption is that such work will be welcomed with enthusiasm. Certainly in the U.S. many historians speak glowingly about the need for and the benefits from comparative history. Participants at major national conferences, however, often find rather different responses. Sparse attendance at the few comparative sessio…
