Genre, Methodology and Feminist Practice Gladys Reichard’S Ethnographic Voice
Genre, Methodology and Feminist Practice Gladys Reichard’s ethnographic voice Lessie Jo Frazier University of Michigan The rainy season is not quite over although it has nearly spent itself. I drive leisurely along five miles of roller coaster highway, down and up, up and down again as I drink in the grandeur of the sunset. I come to the ’big hill’, around and over which the road twines narrowly. From its summit I see at my left a deep purple canyon, green at the bottom with irrigated fields. At my right the sun is setting across a wide valley, the shadows replaced by roseate gold interrupted by the white resplendence of chalk cliffs. As if this were not sufficient, a light female rain like that which falls constantly over the home of the Corn gods, drops between me and the sun. I gasp in my inability to comprehend the sight fully as I turn my head forty-five degrees to behold a complete rainbow and behind it the thinnest slice of a new moon. (Gladys Reichard, 1934:122) Introduction: approaches and themes In this essay, I read and discuss Gladys Reichard as an author of feminist ethnography - not in order to define or bound her place in anthropology, but rather to attempt to approach her work from a particular, critical perspective. In this effort I concentrate on two of Reichard’s most accessible and popular works of the 1930s, Spider Woman: A Story of Navajo Weavers and Chanters (1934) and Dezba, Woman of the Desert (1939). Through an examination of Reichard’s work, I discuss the relationship between issues of genre, methodology (see Harding, 1987) and ethnography as feminist practice. -

Secretsharers: Intersecting Systems of Knowledge and the Politics of Documentation in Southwesternist Anthropology, 1880-1930 by Adam Fulton Johnson A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2018 Doctoral Committee: Professor Howard Brick (Co-Chair) Associate Professor John Carson (Co-Chair) Professor Philip Deloria, Harvard University Associate Professor Elizabeth F. S. Roberts Assistant Professor Joy Rohde Adam Fulton Johnson [email protected] ORCID: 0000-0002-5683-8449 © Adam Fulton Johnson 2018 Acknowledgements Some relationships need not be documented and publicized. But other forms should: in particular, acknowledgements for contributions to my intellectual and personal life. I should first recognize the diligence, candor and encouragement of my brilliant dissertation co-chairs, Howard Brick and John Carson. Not everyone is lucky enough to find inspiring and supportive advisors. Phil Deloria, who joined the project late and without much proof that I had anything to say, gave important feedback and has shaped the future of this project at the book level. Liz Roberts and Joy Rohde, also dissertation committee members, provided loads of advice and encouragement as the dissertation came to a close. I want to expressly thank other friends and colleagues from my time in the University of Michigan’s History Department: Robyn d’Avignon, Juanita Bernal, Secil Binboga, Allison Caine, Abigail Celis, Kevin Donovan, Shannon Dowd, Kimberly Harn, Zehra Hashmi, Drew Haxby, Gabriel Horowitz, Rachel Miller, Davide Orsini, Emma Park, Andres Pletch, Amanda Reid, Richard Reinhardt, and Nik Sweet. Brenden Beck, Michael Casper, and I found ourselves in doctoral programs at the same time, though at different institutions. -

Name of Creator(s) Bittany, Adolph Dodge Miguelito, ca. 1865-1936 Newcomb, Franc Johnson, 1887-1970 Phillips, Barbara Schwemberger, Simeon Staples, B.I. Biographical History Gladys Amanda Reichard (17 July 1893 - 25 July 1955) was born in Bangor, Pennsylvania to Quaker physician Noah W. Reichard and Minerva Ann Jordan. Reichard was of Pennsylvania Dutch heritage. Reichard’s mother died when she was a child and her father got remarried to Laura Digitt. Noah Reichard died in 1926. Reichard was raised in an intellectually oriented family and began teaching at the age of 16. In 1915, she enrolled at Swarthmore College where she majored in classics. Her interest in anthropology was sparked as a senior at Swarthmore and she immediately enrolled at Columbia University to study under famed anthropologist, Franz Boas. She received her M.A. in 1920 and spent the next few years studying the Wiyot language in California, which was the basis for her doctoral research. She received her PhD from Columbia University in 1925. Boas and Reichard became very close over the years and it was because of him that she got a teaching position at Barnard College. Reichard worked for Barnard College from 1928-1951 teaching general courses in anthropology, primitive art, social life, religion, folklore, problems of race, and introductory courses in linguistics. -

Other Grounds: Popular Genres and the Rhetoric of Anthropology, 1900-1940 Risa Applegarth A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Dr. Jane Danielewicz Dr. Erika Lindemann Dr. Jordynn Jack Dr. María DeGuzmán Dr. Valerie Lambert © 2009 Risa Applegarth ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract Other Grounds: Popular Genres and the Rhetoric of Anthropology, 1900-1940 Risa Applegarth (Under the direction of Dr. Jane Danielewicz) Other Grounds: Popular Genres and the Rhetoric of Anthropology, 1900-1940 , examines how gender, race, and genre interact in a discipline’s bid for scientific status. As anthropology professionalized early in the twentieth century, the ethnographic monograph became the primary site for legitimate scientific knowledge, and many practitioners—especially women and Native Americans—found their concerns and knowledge practices marginalized. These marginalized professionals responded creatively to the monograph’s ascendance by developing alternative genres flexible and capacious enough to accommodate their intellectual and rhetorical goals. This study recovers a proliferation of alternative genres, including field autobiographies, folklore collections, and ethnographic novels, that rhetors created in the early twentieth century to access rhetorical resources unavailable in the discipline’s privileged forms. I demonstrate that marginalized practitioners, including Gladys Reichard, Ruth Underhill, Ann Axtell Morris, Frank Applegate, Luther Standing Bear, and others, used these hybrid genres to influence professional practice and to intervene in broader debates taking place outside professional boundaries—debates, for instance, over indigenous land rights and federal Indian education policy. -
