This book traces 500 years of European-American colonization and
racialized dominance, expanding our common assumptions about the
ways racialization was used to build capitalism and the modern
world-system. Professor Fenelon draws on personal experience and
the agency of understudied Native (and African) resistance leaders,
to weave a story too often hidden or distorted in the annals of the
academy, that remains invisible at many universities and historical
societies. The book identifies three epochs of racial
constructions, colonialism, and capitalism that created the USA.
Indigenous nations, the first to be racialized on a global scale,
African peoples, enslaved and brought to the Americas, and European
immigrants. It offers a sweeping analysis of the forces driving the
invasion, occupation, and exploitation of Native America and the
significance of labor in American history provided by Indigenous
people, Africans, and immigrants, specifically the Irish. Indian,
Black and Irish makes major contributions toward a deeper
understanding of where Supremacy and Sovereignty originated from,
and how our modern world has used these socio-political
constructions, to build global hegemony that now threatens our very
existence, through wars and climate change. It will be a vital
resource to those studying history, colonialism, race and racism,
labor history, and indigenous peoples.

First published in 1999. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
The issues native peoples face intensify with globalization.
Through case studies from around the world, Hall and Fenelon
demonstrate how indigenous peoples movements can be understood only
by linking highly localized processes with larger global and
historical forces. The authors show that indigenous peoples have
been resisting and adapting to encounters with states for
millennia. Unlike other antiglobalization activists, indigenous
peoples primarily seek autonomy and the right to determine their
own processes of adaptation and change, especially in relationship
to their origin lands and community. The authors link their
analyses to current understandings of the evolution of
globalization.
This ground-breaking work develops theories and methods of
analyzing the United States' domination of Native Americans through
a study of the Lakota society known as the "Sioux Nation of
Indians." Two centuries of struggle between nations and cultures
during the U.S. expansion over North America are described
utilizing policy (BIA) and cross-cultural (US-Lakota) history, with
insightful additions to understanding the "Tetonwan-Sioux."
Contributing new forms of analysis to the study of attempted
domination and destruction of Native American societies, the author
explores the concept of culturicide in relation to theories of
genocide and cultural domination. He links resistance by
traditionalists and activists to cultural survival in charts of
U.S. and Lakota policies and counter-policies. The study provides
maps to identify struggles over land, and shows how social
institutions have been used to attack Lakota culture. The author
provides documented recent events to illustrate contemporary Lakota
social life, often from an insider's point of view. The work
provides a framework for understanding similar conflicts for other
Native Nations. Also includes maps. James Fenelon is Dakota/Lakota,
and is Assistant Professor of Sociology at John Carroll University.

This book assesses the controversies over the Washington NFL team
name as a window into other recent debates about the use of Native
American mascots for professional and college sports teams. Fenelon
explores the origin of team names in institutional racism and
mainstream society's denial of the impact of four centuries of
colonial conquest. Fenelon's analysis is supported by his surveys
and interviews about the "Redskins" name and Cleveland "Indians"
mascot "Chief Wahoo." A majority of Native peoples see these
mascots as racist, including the National Congress of American
Indians-even though mainstream media and public opinion claim
otherwise. Historical analysis divulges these terms as outgrowths
of "savage" and "enemy icon" racist depictions of Native nations.
The book ties the history of conquest to idealized claims of
democracy, freedom, and "honoring" sports teams.
