Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
What makes the Navajo experience different from that of other Indian groups, ask the authors. In response, they give a comprehensive examination of the economic, social, and cultural factors that have shaped the development of the modern Navajo. In a highly readable, scholarly account they trace the interaction of Navajo cultural adaptations and U.S. government policies, drawing heavily upon U.S. government statistics. Because it integrates many individual aspects of the Navajo experience, this is an important addition to the growing body of Navajo literature. Recommended for public and academic libraries. Mary B. Davis, Museum of the American Indian Lib., New York

Rain Parrish, The New Mexican
A History of the Navajos shows how history has shaped the psychological reality of people who have continued to be resilient, persevering, and essentially Navajo. The people have survived. I know, I am Navajo. I would recommend this text highly for those who wish to understand the history and imposed calamities my people have borne.
