Abstract The recent critique of ethnography has highlighted various contingent factors (e.g., cultural-historical, institutional, literary, rhetorical) that affect fieldwork and ethnographic writing. Used constructively to interpret the historical record, the critique suggests that similar contingent factors governed Spanish perceptions and representations of Native Americans, as exemplified by missionary accounts of the Tepehuan (1616) and Pueblo revolts (1680) in northern New Spain. The missionaries represented the revolts as the work of the devil rather than as millenarian movements triggered by the devastating effects of Old World disease and Spanish colonialism. Missionary perceptions and representations reflect Counter-Reformation theology/philosophy/epistemology, a largely medieval literary tradition, and institutional and political contingencies arising from membership in religious orders sent to the New World to direct culture change. Journal Information Ethnohistory emphasizes the joint use of documentary materials and ethnographic or archaeological data, as well as the combination of historical and anthropological approaches, in the study of social and cultural processes and history. The journal has established a strong reputation for its studies of the history of native peoples in the Americas and in recent years has expanded its focus to cultures and societies throughout the world. Ethnohistory publishes articles, review essays, and book reviews by scholars in anthropology, history, archaeology, linguistics, literature and art history, geography, and other disciplines and is read by historians and anthropologists alike. Publisher Information Duke University Press publishes approximately one hundred books per year and thirty journals, primarily in the humanities and social sciences, though it does also publish two journals of advanced mathematics and a few publications for primarily professional audiences (e.g., in law or medicine). The relative magnitude of the journals program within the Press is unique among American university presses. In recent years, it has developed its strongest reputation in the broad and interdisciplinary area of "theory and history of cultural production," and is known in general as a publisher willing to take chances with nontraditional and interdisciplinary publications, both books and journals.

Who called for the Pueblo Revolt?One medicine man, Popé of the San Juan pueblo, embittered by imprisonment, believed himself commanded by the tribal ancestor spirits (kachinas) to restore the old customs; on Aug. 10, 1680, he led a full-scale revolt in which almost all the Pueblos participated.
Who caused the Pueblo Revolt?Historians differ on the main cause for the revolt of the Pueblo peoples in 1680. Many believe the cause for the revolt was religious, while others speculate that the essential causes of the revolt were the immediate events of the time - drought, famine and the Apache raids of the 1670s.
