"How does one make a clear distinction between issues such as
tribal sovereignty, indigenous rights, and law and justice? How do
these topics differ, and can they be separated from, issues such as
identity, health, and environment? The answer, of course, lies in
the interconnectedness of all aspects of Native American life,
culture, religion, and politics. This format encourages the
consideration of Native politics both in terms of unifying themes
and contexts and with regard to local situations, needs, and
struggles." -From the Introduction by Troy Johnson Troy Johnson and
has assembled a volume of top scholarship from which emerges the
complexity and diversity of Native American political life in the
1990's. Each topical section is introduced by the editor's own
commentaries, which provide background and integrated analyses of
the issues at hand. They are followed by informative, critical case
studies and essays that offer experiences and perspectives from a
variety of Native American and political settings. Students will
gain grounded understandings of key issues as well as a variety of
theoretical perspectives from which to understand contemporary
American Indian political life. Topics include sovereignty,
international indigenous rights, economic development, law,
repatriation, and activism.
