Prof. Strobel Analyzes American and African History

In October, Christoph Strobel published his most recent article, which considers the theme of colonization through a comparative lens:  "'The History of the Cape is Already Written in that of America': The Colonization of America in South Africa's Discourse of Empire, 1820s-1850s." Safundi: The Journal of South African and American Comparative Studies 20 (October 2005).

In June 2006, Christoph Strobel's co-edited book Daily Life of Native Americans will be published by Greenwood Press.  Along with senior scholar Alice Nash, Strobel examines the real history of Native Americans. How did Natives interact with European settlers? Did they really have pow-wows? Where did Indian children go to school? Did chiefs really wear feathered headdresses and smoke peace pipes? Dispelling the myths and stereotypes, the day-to-day lives of these tribes during a time of tremendous change is discussed.  For more information about this book, see http://www.greenwood.com/catalog/GR3515.aspx.
