Although coverage of American Indian history has improved
remarkably in the past 20 years, the role of American Indians is
still downplayed in many mainstream American history courses.
In-depth discussions of United States policies toward Native
Americans or the reactions of Native Americans do not appear in
most textbooks. This book helps to overcome these shortcomings.
Designed to accompany post-Reconstruction survey courses, it will
help to integrate aspects of American Indian history. Arranged
according to time periods used in most textbooks, the book's
seventeen essays--many written by leading scholars, several written
by American Indian scholars--discuss important policy
considerations as well as environmental, religious, cultural, and
gender issues. Providing a good point of departure, these essays
can be used in tandem with other materials to stimulate class
discussion. While every aspect of American history could not be
covered, each section includes an extensive list of suggested
additional reading. The volume is unique in that it is the only
companion reader designed to accompany college courses covering
this time period. It is a book to be used by instructors who are
not necessarily Native Americanists but who wish to include the
history of American Indians in their survey courses.
