Lecture and Book Signing for Arizona: A History by Thomas Sheridan |
|
|
|
|
|
| In 1995 Dr. Thomas Sheridan, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Arizona’s Southwest Center, published a book that set forth new ideas about what a history should be; and in 2012, a revised edition of that history is being released in honor of the state’s 100th birthday. Arizona: A History explores the ways in which Native Americans, Hispanics and Anglos have inhabited and exploited Arizona from the pursuit of the Naco mammoth 11,000 years ago to the financial adventurism of Charles Keating and others today. It examines how perceptions of Arizona have changed, creating new constituencies of tourists, environmentalists, and outside business interests to challenge the dominance of ranchers, mining companies, and farmers who used to control the state. As Sheridan writes about the past, he balances the gains and losses as global forces interact more and more with local cultural and environmental factors. Copies of Arizona: A History will be available for sale and signing.
