商品簡介
Hurtado (modern American history, U. of Oklahoma) edits five essays that originated at the 2005 Wilma Mankiller Symposium on American History, the namesake of which authored the introduction, considering Native American history and its influence on contemporary Native society. Four scholars and one tribal leader consider the modern echoes of the height of colonialism in the phenomena of wealth, poverty, culture and identity; how Native people adapted to changing circumstances while selectively adopting new modes of living; the Oneida community's representation of its own history; consider the theme of Indian survival with regards to the traditional portrayal of Native American History, among other topics.
