Zuni and the American Imagination. By Eliza McFeely. (New York: Hill & Wang, 2001. xvi, 204 pp. $24.00, ISBN 0-8090-2707-0.)

Although intense pressures from the Spanish and then American colonizers constantly pushed them toward assimilation, they resisted. Culturally damaged and forced to adapt, they still managed to retain the core of their identity and practices. The forces of contact, however, were not one way. The Zuni, as it turns out, also had an impact on the colonizers, visible in influences on novelists such as Aldous Huxley in his Brave New World (1932) and Robert Heinlein in his Stranger in a Strange Land (1961) and on scholars such as Ruth Benedict in Patterns of Culture (1934). Eliza McFeely considers the source of this influence to be centered in the work of three early anthropologists, Frank Hamilton Cushing, Matilda Stevenson, and Stewart Culin, who studied the Zuni during the late 1800s into the early 1900s. . . .
