This guide to Native American history and culture outlines new ways
of understanding American Indian cultures in contemporary contexts.
The book covers the key issues of: * The intimate relationship of
culture to land. * The nature of cultural contact and conflict in
the period after European contact. * The unique relationship that
Native communities have with the United States government. * The
significance of language. * The vitality of contemporary cultures
and the variety of artistic styles, from literature and poetry to
painting and sculpture to performance arts. This thematic approach
places history, culture and intellectual production in the contexts
of politics and power. Using specific examples throughout, the
culture of Native Americans is seen from the point of views of
Native people as well as from the points of view of Europe and the
United States. Features * New approach to the subject. * Argument
shaped by interaction with Native scholars and members of Native
communities. * Draws on work of historians, anthropologists,
ethnographers, literary critics and art historians. * Literature
survey with assessment of sources and detailed bibliography. *
