This chapter focuses on women who contributed significantly to American Indian linguistics before World War II. It highlights the lives, work, and impact of the influential scholars Mary Haas, Gladys Reichard, and Lucy Freeland, as well as the contributions of Native American women such as Ella Deloria and Flora Zuni in this period of early linguistic work on Native American languages. The personal and professional histories of these women and the challenges they faced in male-dominated academia are discussed. Despite those challenges, they contributed significantly to the discipline through their fieldwork on Native American languages, their commitment to language documentation and to their students, and the knowledge they passed on to subsequent generations. Their perseverance at a turning point in American linguistics advanced the role of women and has had a lasting effect on the climate of American scholarship.

Chapter 5 examines struggles over inductees’ “proper” racial classification and placement in the segregated World War II–era US military. In millions of cases, classification was routine and uncontroversial. But in hundreds of cases—involving people who identified as everything from American Indian to Moorish American to white—men challenged their official race classification, or their placement in the segregated military, or both. The most heated and consequential of these challenges revolved around the meaning and membership of “colored” (a synonym for “Negro” or black)—not white. “Colored” people were by far the most thoroughly segregated and subjugated descent group in the US military, which meant that their race classification involved not just classification itself, but also assignment to “colored” outfits. Since membership in these outfits carried so many acute disadvantages, the stakes related to the “colored” category were unquestionably highest.

High Yielding Varieties

On attaining independence, India inherited an agriculture with perhaps the lowest productivity in the world (before World War II rice yield per acre in Taiwan was twice as high as in India), the infrastructure was insignificant and practically no chemical fertilizer was used. The development of Indian agriculture since 1949 is described and compared with other developing countries. Topics examined include the increase of area under cultivation, use of fertilizers, adoption of high-yielding varieties, growth rates of production of the several agricultural products (1949/50-1964/65), structure of Indian farming, and agricultural labour force.
