James Harwood Barnett (1906–92) was born in Owensboro, Kentucky, and graduated from Berea College with an A.B. degree in 1928. M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Pennsylvania followed. First hired as an instructor in sociology at the University of Connecticut in 1935, he remained there for his entire academic career, becoming a full professor and chairman of the Sociology Department in 1948 and retiring in 1970. His research focused on the sociology of art and literature, and his best known work was a 1954 book titled\n <i>\n The American Christmas\n </i>\n , which traced the evolution of Christmas celebration in the United States.\n </p>\n <p>\n During World War II, Barnett did a very brief stint as a community analyst at Gila River. According to anthropologist Peter T. Suzuki, Barnett was at Gila for just 36 days, April 5 to May 11, 1943, during which time he wrote just a handful of reports. Explanations for his short stay at Gila vary. According to his successor,\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"/G._Gordon_Brown/\" title=\"G. Gordon Brown\">\n G.

Brown arrived at Gila on June 30 and served as the community analyst there for just under two years.\n <sup class=\"reference\" id=\"cite_ref-ftnt_ref1_1-0\">\n <a class=\"\" href=\"#cite_note-ftnt_ref1-1\">\n [1]\n </a>\n </sup>\n </p>\n <div id=\"authorByline\">\n <b>\n Authored by\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"/Brian_Niiya/\" title=\"Brian Niiya\">\n Brian Niiya\n </a>\n , Densho\n </b>\n </div>\n <div id=\"citationAuthor\" style=\"display:none;\">\n Niiya, Brian\n </div>\n <div class=\"section\" id=\"For_More_Information\">\n <h2>\n <span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"For_More_Information\">\n For More Information\n </span>\n </h2>\n <div class=\"section_content\">\n <p>\n Turkington, Cheryl C.
