This entirely new edition of the book originally published in 1961 reproduces in magnificent color on fine coated stock all the paintings in the exhibition ,"101 Masterpieces of American Primitive Painting," from the world renowned collection of Col. Edgar William and Bernice Chrysler Garbisch, currently being shown in major museums of the United States and Europe. The paintings are by known and unknown artists who were artisans, house and sign painters, farmers, frontiers-men, itinerant portraitists. The earliest were painted about 1710, the latest in the last quarter of the 19th century; some were painted on canvas or wood, others on copper, zinc, bed ticking, window shades, or paper--whatever material was on hand. Fresh, spontaneous records of America's past, they present family scenes, land and naval battles, Indian wars, patriotic events, life on the farm, religious subjects, and, explicitly or implicitly, the dreams and aspirations of the American people. "Our primitives have a particular significance," writes Mr. Walker. "They mirror vividly the life, the customs, and the general appearance of our ancestors and of the world in which they lived. American primitive paintings are beautiful in themselves, inventive in their linear patterns, decorative in their pure and simple colors.... From their (the artists') honesty and integrity resulted an original, truly American style, a style beautifully revealed in the 101 masterpieces of American primitive painting." 101 Masterpieces of American Primitive Painting is a treasury of America's past. These unsophisticated and colorful paintings are a precious and fascinating part of our national heritage.

Carr (English, U. of London) examines literary and anthropological writings that describe, inscribe, translate, and transform Native American myths and poetry to conform with mainstream American society's conception of the primitive. She draws on post-colonial and feminist theory and the recent textual turn of ethnography. The story she finds is taut with the contradiction of trying to preserve a culture while ruthlessly destroying it. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

One of the most confounding aspects of American society—the one that perhaps most frequently perplexes observers both domestic and foreign—is the vast contradiction between what anthropologists might term the “hot” and “cold” elements in the culture. The hot encompasses the dynamic and progressive aspects of a society dedicated to growth and productivity, marked by mobility, innovation, and optimism. In contrast, the cold embodies rigid social forms and archaic beliefs, fundamentalisms of all kinds, racism and xenophobia, anti-intellectualism, cultural atavism, and ignorance—in short, the primitive. For cultural critic Paul Smith, the tension between progressive and primitive is a constitutive condition of American history and culture. In Primitive America, Smith contemplates this primary contradiction as it has played out in the years since 9/11. Indeed, he writes, much of what has happened since—events that have seemed to many to be novel and egregious—can be explained by this foundational dialectic. More radically still, Primitive America attests that this underlying stress is driven by America's unquestioned devotion to the elemental propositions and processes of capitalism. This devotion, Smith argues, has become America's quintessential characteristic, and he begins this book by elaborating on the idea of the primitive in America—its specific history of capital accumulation, commodity fetishism, and cultural narcissism. Smith goes on to track the symptoms of the primitive that have arisen in the aftermath of 9/11 and the commencement of the “Long War” against “violent extremists”: the nature of American imperialism, the status of the U.S. Constitution, the militarization of America's economy and culture, and the Bush administration's disregard for human rights. An urgent and important engagement with current American policies and practices, Primitive America is, at the same time, an incisive critique of the ideology that fuels the ethos of America's capitalist culture. Paul Smith is professor of cultural studies at George Mason University and the author of numerous books, including Clint Eastwood: A Cultural Production (Minnesota, 1993).

The dream of restoring primitive Christianity lies close to the core of the identity of some American denominations---Churches of Christ, Latter-day Saints, some Mennonites, and a variety of Holiness and Pentecostal denominations. But how can a return to ancient Christianity be sustained in a world increasingly driven by modernization? What meaning might such a vision have in the modern world? Twelve distinguished scholars explore these and related questions in this provocative book.
