In A Nation Within, Ezra Rosser explores the connection between
land-use patterns and development in the Navajo Nation. Roughly the
size of Ireland or West Virginia, the Navajo reservation has seen
successive waves of natural resource-based development over the
last century: grazing and over-grazing, oil and gas, uranium, and
coal; yet Navajos continue to suffer from high levels of
unemployment and poverty. Rosser shows the connection between the
exploitation of these resources and the growth of the tribal
government before turning to contemporary land use and development
challenges. He argues that, in addition to the political challenges
associated with any significant change, external pressures and
internal corruption have made it difficult for the tribe to
implement land reforms that could help provide space for economic
development that would benefit the Navajo Nation and Navajo tribal
members.
