The Essential Charles Eastman (Ohiyesa), Revised and Updated Edition: Light on the Indian World (Sacred ...2 reviews
Charles Eastman

World Wisdom, 2007

Amazing work from Charles Eastman
The author has changed my ideas of who the American Indians are. I was swept away by the descriptions and mesmerized by the spiritual life of a people who were closer to God than I ever imagined. This book should be read at schools and universities. Their history is vital to understand who all of us are.
  
  











  



  
Light on the Indian World: The Essential Writings of Charles Eastman (The Library of Perennial Philosophy)2 reviews
Charles Eastman (Ohiyesa)

World Wisdom, 2002

From traditionally raised prereservation Native to physician
I have read quite a few books on traditional native practices from all over the world (not all of those which claim to teach or describe such practices are accurate, quite a few are misguided or outright frauds). I had come across the name Charles Eastman in bibliographies and indices of those works that featured Native North American practices, and thought he was an anthropologist (white) who ...

Picasso And American Art2 reviews
Michael Fitzgerald

YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS, 2007

A catalogue better than the exhibition it illustrates
The exhibition "Picasso and American Art" was very much criticized because of its tendency to mixing everything that counts in modern American art (or rather, in New York art) and linking it somewhat arbitrarily to Picasso, which, in a way, is stating the obvious. Now what remains of it is this beautiful book, very well documented and which shows us some works of rarely seen artists alongside ...

Most of all, however, the book places the Reconstruction in the larger context of American history, also examining the forces of industrialization in America and the impacts ...
