With the Great Sioux War as background and context, and drawing
on many new materials, Thomas Powers establishes what really
happened in the dramatic final months and days of Crazy Horse's
life.
He was the greatest Indian warrior of the nineteenth century, whose
victory over General Custer at the battle of Little Bighorn in 1876
was the worst defeat ever inflicted on the frontier army. But after
surrendering to federal troops, Crazy Horse was killed in custody
for reasons which have been fiercely debated for more than a
century. "The Killing of Crazy Horse "pieces together the story
behind this official killing.
Indonesia has long been hailed as a rare case of democratic
transition and persistence in an era of global democratic setbacks.
But as the country enters its third decade of democracy, such
laudatory assessments have become increasingly untenable. The
stagnation that characterized Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's second
presidential term has given way to a more far-reaching pattern of
democratic regression under his successor, Joko Widodo. This volume
is the first comprehensive study of Indonesia's contemporary
democratic decline. Its contributors identify, explain and debate
the signs of regression, including arbitrary state crackdowns on
freedom of speech and organization, the rise of vigilantism,
deepening political polarization, populist mobilization, the
dysfunction of key democratic institutions, and the erosion of
checks and balances on executive power. They ask why Indonesia,
until recently considered a beacon of democratic exceptionalism,
increasingly conforms to the global pattern of democracy in
retreat.
