I cannot provide a definitive answer to those of us pondering what the
best alternative to capitalism is, but after attending the Pacific Northwest
Labor History Association (PNLHA) Conference in Westminster, British Columbia,
over the weekend of May 28–30, 1999, I can tell you that this is certainly
a preferable alternative to standard academic conferences. As usual, the PNLHA
was able to produce a cadre of historians (from the trades as well as academia),
active unionists, and old-timers whose memories are as tapable as a keg of beer.
Although the association designates labor history as its subject, newly elected
President Ross Rieder likes to say, "History ends the moment before
now."

"This chronicle of the 47th Indiana follows the regiment's odyssey through the words of its officers and men. Sources include Chaplain Samuel Sawyer's account, soldiers' accounts, stories of war and intrigue from newspapermen of the "Bohemian Brigade," and General James R. Slack's own story. Numerous photographs, previously unpublished maps, and a full regimental roster complete this"--Provided by publisher

Open-access edition: DOI 10.6069/9780295800554 The Chinese-speaking Muslims have for centuries been an inseparable but anomalous part of Chinese society--Sinophone yet incomprehensible, local yet outsiders, normal but different. Long regarded by the Chinese government as prone to violence, they have challenged fundamental Chinese conceptions of "self" and "other" and denied the totally transforming power of Chinese civilization by tenaciously maintaining connections with Central and West Asia as well as some cultural differences from their non-Muslim neighbors. Familiar Strangers narrates a history of the Muslims of northwest China, at the intersection of the frontiers of the Mongolian-Manchu, Tibetan, Turkic, and Chinese cultural regions. Based on primary and secondary sources in a variety of languages, Familiar Strangers examines the nature of ethnicity and periphery, the role of religion and ethnicity in personal and collective decisions in violent times, and the complexity of belonging to two cultures at once. Concerning itself with a frontier very distant from the core areas of Chinese culture and very strange to most Chinese, it explores the influence of language, religion, and place on Sino-Muslim identity.
