Rethinking Manhood and Intimacy

John Ibson.Picturing Men: A Century of Male Relationships in Everyday American Photography. Washington: Smithsonian Institution Press, 2002. 237 pp. Photographs, notes, and index. $32.95. The old adage a picture is worth a thousand words immediately comes to mind when discussing the Smithsonian's new book Picturing Men. Its author John Ibson brings two important strengths to his enterprise: first as an avid collector of photographs of men in groups of two or more; and second, as an academic in the American Studies Program at California State, Fullerton. In his first role Ibson has assembled photographs from the 1860s through his cut-off date of 1950. (Interestingly, almost all of the images are from his extensive private collection.) He argues persuasively that these photos are representative, and the images do range across social class—from working-class men to middle- and upper-class figures; across age groups—from youths to men in their twilight years; across racial lines—although men from different groups almost never pose together in the same photograph; and where documentation is possible, across regions. Ibson's central argument is that men from the mid-nineteenth century through the early decades of the twentieth century, were far more comfortable showing affection for one another—holding hands, sitting on one another's laps, lying together on a blanket, to name a few examples—than men are today in the modern era. It is in his role as scholar that Ibson raises the volume beyond the facile curiosity of a coffee table book; along with the many photographs, his text presents a thorough and careful review of the current literature on men's history in the United States during these years. When brought together, this historical context and the many striking images of men displaying an intimacy no longer extant produces a clear confirmation of recent trends in the historiography. Without question, the book has clarified my own thinking of men's history, masculinity, and sexual identity in America's past. In his preface the author states, "the very meaning of men's relationships with each other has changed so much, as have the cultural boundaries regarding one man's physical (as well as verbal) expression of affection for another man" (pg. xi). Further, the opening pages explain that the book does not strive to be [End Page 526] a work of gay history—i.e., intent on recovering lost male sexual relationships—but serves rather to reconstruct and illustrate a sexual system that sometimes allowed for such intimacy. As Ibson's work stresses repeatedly, a cultural artifact such as a photograph necessarily had a very different meaning for someone in 1853 than it would for another in 1953—these two people would approach the image with two very different sets of cultural baggage. All too often we as historians have failed to fully appreciate this important distinction. In each chapter he presents, illustrations of the studio photograph, staged pageant photographs, team photos, and informal snapshots, the author again and again charts a transition from a nineteenth-century world where male intimacy was the norm to one resembling our own where such bonds came to be suspect. Significantly, the early photos reveal a world where men and women truly lived in separate spheres; men were far more likely to have their photograph taken with a male friend than with a female one—or often even a spouse. Many of the photos are located in the all-male sites where men of all social classes spent so much time: saloons, clubs, the YMCA, hunting, on the job, military locations, and, of course, sports teams. Even in the few photos presented where women are included, it is striking that the men hold one another's hands and remain physically separated from the fairer sex. Ibson wisely chooses to discuss these intimate reminders of nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century male romantic friendships not as prototypes of our modern homosexuals, but as common relationships, more the norm than...

Initiation in Cuban Santería

Born into an Episcopalian family where people cultivated intimate and intense relationships with God, I have been exploring the popular Afro‐Cuban religion Santería with both an intellectual and religious interest since 1987. This true story is adapted from Living Santería: Rituals and Experiences in an Afro‐Cuban Religion, published bythe Smithsonian Institution Press in 2002.

Culture as History: The Transformation of American Society in the Twentieth Century

Culture as History: The Transformation of American Society in Twentieth Century Warren I. Susman. Washington DC: Smithsonian Institution Press, 2003. Warren Susman is pioneer and bridgebuilder. Trained as historian, he took up cause of American and served both areas well. He even began to explore popular culture, although he never joined the movement. This book shows how an original thinker can come up with startling new ideas and connections. It is partly autobiographical, because the writing of history is as personal an act as writing fiction. When he began his own in 1930s, his mentor Merle Curti praised him for undertaking what Susman called a serious intellectual struggle with my father. Susman replied to his mentor, was stunned at your suggestion, supposing my undertaking was an act of disinterested scholarship. works of history are autobiographical, that does not mean that is all they are. Certainly not in his case. Susman praises Dr. Curti for discussing dime novels and for his use of many off-beat sources. That is exactly what Susman does, coming to see America through notion of of abundance and of paradox. We live, he says, in hieroglyphic civilization in which images always supplement ideas. His photographs are one of highlights of book. He centers them on critical themes: Our Father, Our Skyscraper, Our Daily Bread, Our Flag, Our Town, and Our Church. In our world of images-turned-icons, we can literally see fundamental tensions that define hieroglyphic civilization that we have created. Another distinctive feature of America: no previous culture has been so shaped by communication technology or has spent so much of its energy and resources analyzing communication and its problems. He hits home; I spent years in communications studies niches. Like Susman, I ended up wondering whether anyone could really communicate at all. (What we have here is problem of communication.) Of course, we have had few great communicators: Jefferson, Calhoun, Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt. Susman always pops up with surprise. He respects President Roosevelt's cultural role without limit, but adds, If we want to know how people experienced world in 1930s, I argue that Mickey Mouse may be more important than President Roosevelt in that understanding (103). All ages demand symbols that sometimes conflict. In 1940s, for example, we suffered pain and anguish of Okies of Dust Bowl-and were singing Oh! What Beautiful Morning! in Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! (1943). Conflicting symbols. Or again: we painstakingly reconstructed colonial Williamsburg as hedge against rising techno-industrial order. …

Fossils: The Key to the Past

Richard Fortey, 2002, Smithsonian Institution Press, Washington D.C., 232 p. (Softcover, $27.50) ISBN: 1-58834-048-1. Fossils: the Key to the Past was originally published over 20 years ago. With the third edition of this book comes some reorganization of chapters, but it remains a good introductory book for amateur paleontologists. Fortey states the goal of this book is “to stimulate the reader to further study and enjoyment of our geological legacy.” His goal is achieved with this easy to read book that is targeted for novice paleontologists with the scientific vocabulary kept to a minimum, excellent color plates, and discussions of some of the hot topics in paleontology. All these factors educate the readers and leave them longing to know more about climate change, mass extinctions, and how humans use and interpret fossils. This book is not written for most PALAIOS subscribers, but all paleontologists should think of this as a handy book for friends and family when they get tired of explaining to them what it is you do for a living. Give it as a gift or direct them to it, and maybe your friends will come back with some interesting questions about your profession instead of asking you the cliched question of “Have you been on any good digs lately?” Chapter 1, “Buried in the Rocks,” is a basic introduction to fossil preservation with an emphasis on soft-part preservation and trace fossils, and includes some helpful figures. Fortey covers the importance of taphonomy and why it is essential for paleontologists to recognize diagenetic features and fossil-preservation bias in their efforts to reconstruct the past. Fortey illustrates this point with the example of the Iguanodon being first reconstructed with its thumb on its nose. Chapter 2, “Setting the Stage: Time and Change,” is a brief history of early attempts …

North American Tree Squirrels

M.A. Steele, J. L. Koprowski. 2001. North American Tree Squirrels. Smithsonian Institution Press, Washington, D.C., 201 pp. ISBN 1-56098-986-6, price (hardbound), $24.95. “Secretive” and “rodent” are two words that tend to go hand in hand, making ecologically based research difficult. Tree squirrels tend to buck that stereotype, being regularly seen and heard in downtown parks as well as in natural forests. This availability has facilitated research in a wide variety of animal ecology topics. In North American Tree Squirrels , the authors have taken on the daunting task of surveying the extensive ecological literature for North American tree squirrels, much of which they have contributed, to summarize our current understanding of the ecology, behavior, and evolution of these most curious rodents. Additionally, the authors have attempted to make that information available to …

The Fossils of Florissant

Herbert W. Meyer, 2003, Smithsonian Institution Press, Washington D.C., 258 p. (Hardcover, US $39.99) ISBN: 1-58834-107-0. Herb Meyer's book titled The Fossils of Florissant is one of those books that you can judge by its cover. The spectacular cover photo of a fossil wasp is a perfect introduction to what the rest of this book has to offer, as there are over 220 figures, mostly images of the excellently preserved fossil material found at Florissant. Meyer's book provides a nice introduction to the fossils of Florissant with its outstanding photographs and several detailed chapters describing the history of Florissant, the geological setting of this deposit, an overview of ongoing research, and details about the flora and fauna. Florissant is a well-known treasure among paleobotanists and paleoentomologists, but may not be as widely known to other researchers or the general public. A deposit known for its exceptional preservation, Florissant has often been described (somewhat inaccurately) as an “Insect Pompeii.” The fine-grained sediments of the 34-million-year-old deposit preserve a very diverse flora and fauna (approximately 1700 described species thus far) and include many rare and delicate taxa (including butterflies and flowers). Everything from giant petrified redwoods to small insects and tiny freshwater diatoms can be found at Florissant. Meyer starts his book with an introductory chapter and his second chapter provides the reader with an overview of the history of Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, starting with early tourism in the area. He describes the destruction of several petrified stumps and the loss of vast quantities of fossil material to casual collectors. He then discusses the more well known researchers who have worked at Florissant, including S.H. Scudder, L. Lesquereux, T.D.A. Cockerell, and H.D. MacGinitie (who was Meyer's mentor). The contributions of these early workers to …

EDXRF study of Prehistoric artefacts from Quinta do Almaraz (Cacilhas, Portugal)

This paper presents a non-destructive analytical study by secondary target energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry of selected artefacts found during excavations carried out since 1988, at the archaeological site of “Quinta do Almaraz”, Estremadura, West Portugal. The analysed collection was composed by metallic artefacts ( fibulae, fish-hooks, needles, buckle, tweezers, knives, arrowheads), crucibles, slags and metallurgical residues. The chemical composition of the metallic artefacts have made possible to identify different groups belonging to distinct Prehistoric periods, from the Bronze (bronzes) till the Iron (iron-based alloys) Age. Variation in the Sn and Pb percentages in the bronzes pointed out to the existence of three different metallurgical processes, although they did not present different typological characteristics. Semi-quantitative analysis on fragments of crucibles have permitted to identify particular metallurgical operations, namely the preparation of gold alloys and the remains of the silver cupellation process, which was introduced in the Iberian Peninsula by the Phoenician [Early Metal Mining and Production, Smithsonian Institution Press, Washington, DC, 1995].

IN MEMORIAM: ED NEWTON HARRISON, 1914–2002

outstanding and innovative teaching assistant at the City University, initiated an informal systematics seminar, and organized and taught a highly successful museology course. He also helped prepare for the AOU's centennial meeting at the Museum in 1983. Peter was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship at the National Museum of Natural History, working with Richard Zusi on bird morphology and evolutionary systematics. In 1988, Peter moved across The Mall to the Smithsonian Institution Press, as a technical editor for the Smithsonian Contributions and Studies series program and then the acquisitions editor for the natural sciences. He became director of the press in September 1996, but resigned for health reasons in January 2002. Peter's most significant contribution to ornithology was as the editor and publisher of important books on birds and other relevant aspects of biology that increased both public and professional understanding of those fields. He also helped conceive and launch three new series: Smithsonian Series in Comparative Evolutionary Biology, Zoo and Aquarium Biology and Conservation Series, and Biological Diversity Handbook Series. In addition, he developed copublishing arrangements with foreign publishers, including the Natural History Museum of London, BirdLife International, New Holland Publishers (Australia), and Southern Book Publishers (South Africa). Peter was a voracious reader, a tireless networker, intrepid and fearless at approaching the biggest names, and dogged in working with authors to finish their manuscripts. Many authors found his encouragement, vision, and editing skills indispensable. Aside from his work, Peter's chief interests were his home and his wife Amanda and their children, Tom, Oliver, and Louisa. He took a particular delight in how creatures related to one another. He could speak knowledgeably about most of the plants and animals found in the mid-Atlantic woods and shore. During the year of his illness, Peter's values never changed. He accepted with grace the incapacities that came and went and came again. During a period of remission when his strength returned and he took to exercise machines, he said he intended to come back with a better brain and a better body. Another time, when he was very weak, he was asked whether there was anything from that experience he thought others could learn. To look carefully at everything, he replied, just as he would have in health. Thanks to his energy and influence, many valuable books were written and published. In addition to his wife and children, Peter is survived by his parents, a sister, three brothers, and their families. We thank Vincent Burke and Duke Johns at the Smithsonian Institution Press, Mary LeCroy at the American Museum of Natural History, and Richard Zusi at the National Museum of Natural History for assistance.
