Continuing the thought-provoking dialogue launched in the acclaimed
anthology "Natives and Academics: Researching and Writing about
American Indians," leading Native scholars from diverse disciplines
and communities offer uncompromising assessments of current
scholarship on and by Indigenous peoples and the opportunities
awaiting them in the Ivory Tower.
The issues covered are vital and extensive, including how
activism shapes the careers of Native academics; the response of
academe and Native scholars to current issues and needs in Indian
Country; and the problems of racism, territoriality, and ethnic
fraud in academic hiring. The contributors offer innovative
approaches to incorporating Indigenous values and perspectives into
the research methodologies and interpretive theories of scholarly
disciplines such as psychology, political science, archaeology, and
history and suggest ways to educate and train Indigenous students.
They provide examples of misunderstanding and sometimes hostility
from both non-Natives and Natives that threaten or circumscribe the
careers of Native scholars in higher education. They also propose
ways to effect meaningful change through building networks of
support inside and outside the Native academic community. Designed
for classroom use, Indigenizing the Academy features a series of
probing questions designed to spark student discussion and
essay-writing.
