Annually published since 1930, the International Bibliography of Historical Sciences (IBOHS) is an international bibliography of the most important historical monographs and periodical articles published throughout the world, which deal with history from the earliest to the most recent times. The IBOHS is thus currently the only continuous bibliography of its kind covering such a broad period of time, spectrum of subjects and geographical range. The works are arranged systematically according to period, region or historical discipline, and alphabetically according to authors names or, in the case of anonymous works, by the characteristic main title word. The bibliography contains a geographical index and indexes of persons and authors.
Indigeneity and the Decolonizing Gaze
"Indigeneity and the Decolonizing Gaze orchestrates an unprecedented conversation between French philosophers, Brazilian modernists, and indigenous artists and thinkers from North and South America. Against the long historical backdrop of 1492, Columbus, and the Conquest, Robert Stam's wide-ranging study traces a trajectory from the representation of indigenous peoples by others to self-representation by indigenous peoples as a form of resistance to colonial capitalism. In this indigenous sequel to the foundational text Unthinking Eurocentrism (with Ella Shohat), Stam counterpoints the western mediated gaze on the 'Indian' and the indigenous gaze itself, especially as incarnated in the burgeoning movement of 'indigenous media', that is, the use of audio-visual-digital media for the social and cultural purposes of indigenous peoples themselves. Drawing on examples from cinema, literature, music, video, painting, and stand-up comedy, Stam shows how indigenous artists, intellectuals, and activist have offered ideas profoundly relevant to the multiple crises - climatological, economic, political, racial, and cultural - afflicting the contemporary world."--Page 4 of cover.
