In February of 1897 a family of six--four generations, including twin infant sons and their aged great-grandmother--was brutally murdered in rural North Dakota. The weapons used were a shotgun, an axe, a pitchfork, a spade, and a club. Several Dakota Indians from the nearby Standing Rock reservation were arrested, and one was tried, pronounced guilty and sentenced to be hanged. The conviction was reversed by the state supreme court, which ordered a new trial. Only a week later, however, a mob of thirty angry men broke into the county jail in the middle of the night, dragged three of the five accused Indians out, and hanged them from a butcher's windlass. These events were fodder for hundreds of newspaper articles, letters, and legal documents. Many of those documents, including the transcript of the trial convicting one of the Indians and the statement by the state supreme court reversing the conviction, are collected in this work, and, with the author's commentary, tell a disturbing tale of racism and revenge in the pioneer West, one that provided the basic story line for Ojibwe novelist Louise Erdrich's acclaimed novel The Plague of Doves.

Louise Erdrich and Michael Dorris, the most prominent writers of Native American descent, collaborate on all their works. In these interviews, conducted both separately and jointly, they discuss how their writing moves from conception to completion and how The Beet Queen, Tracks, A Yellow Raft in Blue Water, and The Crown of Columbus have been enhanced by both their artistic and their matrimonial union.Being of mixed blood and having lived in both white and Native American worlds, they give an original perspective on American society. Sometimes with humor and always with refreshing candor, their discussions undermine the damaging stereotypes of Native Americans. Some of the interviews focus on their nonfiction book, The Broken Cord, which recounts the struggle to solve their adopted son's health problems from fetal alcohol syndrome. Included are two recent interviews published here for the first time. In this collection, Erdrich and Dorris tell why they have chosen to write about many varying subjects and of why they refuse to be imprisoned in a literary ghetto of writers whose only subjects are Native Americans.

'Das japanische Haus und sein Leben' ist eines von Bruno Tauts Hauptwerken, das der Architekt in den Jahren der Emigration auf der Flucht vor den Nationalsozialisten in Japan verfasst hat und erscheint erst jetzt in deutscher Sprache nach dem originalen Manuskript. Hierzulande assoziiert man mit Bruno Taut seine weltberuhmten Siedlungen der 20er Jahre und seinen wesentlichen Einfluss auf die Vorstellung von moderner Baukunst, die sich mit seiner Architektur verbindet. Zwar ist sein Wirken als Architekturschriftsteller nicht unbekannt geblieben, aber eines seiner Hauptwerke erscheint erst jetzt in deutscher Sprache nach dem originalen Manuskript. In englischer Sprache sind, zuerst 1937, bereits zwei Auflagen erschienen, in Japan gilt das Buch bis heute als Standardwerk zum Verstandnis der Architekturgeschichte des Landes. Das, was die Architektur Bruno Tauts im besonderen auszeichnet, kehrt in der Betrachtung der historischen Architektur Japans wieder, Qualitaten wie Einfachheit, Bescheidenheit und Respekt vor wahrer Tradition zeichnen beide aus. Dem Leser des Buches bietet sich die Moglichkeit fur ein tieferes Verstandnis der japanischen Architektur, die aus ihren historischen und gesellschaftlichen Bedingungen heraus entworfen wird. Das Layout der deutschen Ausgabe folgt genau den Vorgaben Bruno Tauts, der das Buch bis in die letzten Details selbst entworfen hat.
