Native Life In South Africa: Before and Since the European War and the Boer Rebellion

First published in 1916 and one of South Africa's great political books, Native Life in South Africa was first and foremost a response to the Native's Land Act of 1913, and was written by one of the most gifted and influential writers and journalists of his generation. Sol T. Plaatje provides an account of the origins of this crucially important piece of legislation and a devastating description of its immediate effects.

<div> The accompaniment to a landmark exhibition of MacArthur Fellow Aminah Robinson's work, which revolved around her family and community, African American history, travel, and the stories her elders told her. When Aminah Robinson died in 2015 and entrusted her entire estate to the Columbus Museum of Art, it became clear that her art, her house and its furnishings, and her extensive writings would constitute a compelling major exhibition and book. This catalog invites readers to enter Robinson's house and engage with the art and journals the museum's staff members have documented during the last five years. Robinson embraced the concept of raggin' on: the idea that her work will endure perpetually because each new person that encounters it will add new meaning. This exhibition's title reflects the hope that the perspectives of visitors and readers will ensure Robinson's work never ends. The book's cover image represents Robinson's Themba series, which consumed her for many years until the end of her life; it captures in dramatic fashion the complexity of both her own hopeful spirit and an inner rage that propelled her to write and make art. Published to accompany a major exhibition at the Columbus Museum of Art. </div>

Destination Denver City: The South Platte Trail

As rivers go, the South Platte is poorly arranged -- often shallow, sprawling into undisciplined streams and muddy channels. But it was a major source of water for migrants from the east: first buffalo, then Indians, then whites. And, along its southern bank, a major trail developed in the 1850s and 1860s. The Cheyennes and Arapahoes, following the bison, came first, sometime in the first or second quarter of the nineteenth century. Fur traders arrived soon afterwards, the first of many whites moving into eastern Colorado to explore, hunt, mine, farm, and trade. Increasing migration set the stage for conflict, and the concentration of activity along the South Platte trail made it a focus of hostilities in the high plains region during the Indian war of the 1860s, until the coming of the Union Pacific Railroad ended the usefulness of this primitive thoroughfare. Drawing on fragments of report and legend, journals and correspondence of explorers, settlers and military me
