Walton looks at how Franciscan missionaries and military governors created competing historical narratives of \"civilizing\" the Native American population. He explores changing historical conditions that generate successive narratives of Yankee progress, Spanish romance, and working-class Cannery Row. Today the nostalgic story of early California competes with political activists' conceptions of environmental protection and ethnic diversity. Walton uses these historical examples to examine the larger issues of collective memory, arguing that history is a product of the interplay of events and narratives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Walton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520227239\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520227231\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.18w x 0.93d","brand":"John Walton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056209031423,"sku":"9780520227231","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8c4d4c0c-5727-4769-ad37-0c9ac7b11715.jpg?v=1685040099","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/storied-land-john-walton-9780520227231","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
