Not quite an entry level book, this clearly assumes at least passing familiarity with the current events of the mid 60s in both the civil rights movement and Indian affairs. Engagingly written and makes compelling points about both history and what Deloria sees as next steps for the movement. ( ) no reviews | add a review
History.
Sociology.
Nonfiction.
Standing Rock Sioux activist, professor, and attorney Vine Deloria, Jr., shares his thoughts about U.S. race relations, federal bureaucracies, Christian churches, and social scientists in a collection of eleven eye-opening essays infused with humor. This "manifesto" provides valuable insights on American Indian history, Native American culture, and context for minority protest movements mobilizing across the country throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. Originally published in 1969, this book remains a timeless classic and is one of the most significant nonfiction works written by a Native American. No library descriptions found.
