Description
Native Americans, who are recognized simultaneously as sovereign tribal groups and as American citizens, present American society and its policy-making process with a problem fundamentally different from that posed by other ethnic minorities. In these essays, the contributors discuss the historical background, certain pathologies of Indian-white relations, questions of legal sovereignty and economic development, and efforts to find new ways of successfully resolving recent controversies.Contributors: Gary C. Anders; Russel Lawrence Barsh; Guillermo Bartelt; Duane Champagne; Ward Churchill; Michael J. Evans; M. Annette Jaimes; Anne McCullogh; C. Patrick Morris; Nicholas C. Peroff; Kurt Russo; Dave Somers; Richard W. Stoffle; Ronald L. Trosper; Steven Zubalik; and the editors.
Reviews / Votes
This text is essential reading for students of government and constitutional law, as well as Native American studies. . . . The book ends with a possible model for future policy decisions. . . . [that] requires a rigorous analysis of Native American public policy and the building of an operational definition of sovereignty. * <i>Left Coast Review</i> * This volume admirably unites articles reviewing a variety of developments involving national policies, cultural perceptions, and environmental, economic, legal, and business considerations. * <i>Environmental History Review</i> * This book takes into account the uniqueness of Native American communities and separates them from the past solutions offered for other 'minority populations.' . . . This thought-provoking collection should be included in all academic libraries and in the personal collections of students of twentieth-century Indian policy. * <i>American Indian Quarterly</i> *More details
