Bøger af Paul C. Rosier

Drawing on interviews, democratic theory, and research, this book focuses on the internal political, economic, and ethnic forces shaping the Blackfeet Nation during the first half of the twentieth century. It illuminates a pivotal time in modern Indian-white relations and aims to broadens our understanding of the meaning of democracy in America.

Over the 20th century, American Indians fought for the right to be both American and Indian. Rosier traces how Indians defined democracy, citizenship, and patriotism in domestic and international contexts. Native Americans served as a visible symbol of an America searching for rights and justice; American history is incomplete without their story.

Readers will learn about the varied cultural, political, social, and economic dimensions of contemporary Native America and will be prompted to consider the complexity and complications of ethnic and cultural diversity in the United States. Where do you stand on the issue of sports teams named after Native Americans?
