Zuni and the American Imagination by Eliza McFeely

 

Located on the Zuni River west of the Continental Divide and 35 miles south of Gallup, New Mexico , Zuni Pueblo exists in two spheres: a real, changing, historical one and an imaginative one that has drawn from and transformed the real one repeatedly. In 1540 its existence as Cibola, one of the famed seven cities, grew from Coronado's futile search for fabulous wealth. Shakespeare's The Tempest seems to reflect some of the stories of Zuni. But it was in the 19th century that Zuni became a central location for the growing discipline of anthropology. The work of the early anthropologists would later influence Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, Robert Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land, and Edmund Wilson's Red, Black, Blond and Olive.

 

Eliza McFeely makes these points in Zuni and the American Imagination by examining the work of three lesser-known anthropologists -- Matilda Coxe Stevenson, Frank Hamilton Cushing, and Stewart Culin -- who visited Zuni around the turn of the century and whose differing approaches and understandings of Zuni enhanced the imaginative perceptions that others developed about the real place and its inhabitants. New - Hardback.
