Carpenter, Marc James
- Abstract
"Inventing Idaho" by Keith C. Petersen explores the development of Idaho's borders and the impact of government impositions on local communities. The book discusses the arbitrary establishment of borders and the consequences it has on the lives of residents. It also highlights the role of local power and knowledge in shaping borders and the challenges faced by Idahoans in making the state their own. "Agents of Empire" by James Robbins Jewell focuses on the First Oregon Volunteer Cavalry during the Civil War and their attacks on Native communities. The book draws from various sources to provide a regimental history of the cavalry. While the book has a celebratory framing, it acknowledges the violence and crimes committed against Native peoples. "Manzanar Mosaic" by Arthur A. Hansen examines the ideological and cultural divisions within the Japanese American community in the Manzanar Relocation Center during World War II. The book explores the tensions between loyalty to Japan and the United States and the violent riot that occurred in the camp. Hansen uses the riot to shed light on the preexisting tensions in the Japanese American community in Los Angeles.
