Review
"[Alfred's] analysis enriches our understanding of tribal politics across the globe. ...his distinctively engaged perspective leads to insights that challenge conventional thinking about an issue of great import in our world."--Political Science Quarterly
Product Description
This book is the first comprehensive study of the driving force behind Native political activism, and the only scholarly treatment of North American Indian politics which integrates an explicitly Native perspective. With a broad historical scope rich in detail, and drawing on the particular experience of the Mohawks of Kahnawake, it offers an explanation of Indian and Inuit political activism focusing on the importance of traditional values and institutions in shaping Native responses to the state.
