Afro-Latin@ Reader: History and Culture in the United States
The Afro-Latin@ Reader: History and Culture in the United States
The Afro-Latin@ Reader focuses attention on a large, vibrant, yet oddly invisible community in the United States: people of African descent from Latin America and the Caribbean. The presence of Afro-Latin@s in the United States (and throughout the Americas) belies the notion that Blacks and Latin@s are two distinct categories or cultures. Afro-Latin@s are uniquely situated to bridge the widening social divide between Latin@s and African Americans…
Intellectual Self-Determination and Sovereignty: Implications for Native Studies and for Native Intellectuals
Animals and plants are taught by Wakan Tanka what they are to do. Wakan Tanka teaches the birds to make nests, yet the nests of all birds are not alike. Wakan Tanka gives them merely the outline .... All birds, even those of the same species, are not alike, and it is the same with animals and with human beings. The reason Wakan Tanka does not make two birds, or animals, or human beings exactly alike is because each is placed here by Wakan Tanka t…

The Use of Racial and Ethnic Terms in America: Management by Manipulation
The continent of America, also known as Middle Continent or Western Hemisphere is subdivided into North America, Central America and South Indigenous peoples have a bit of a problem, however, in that: (1) United States and its dominant Europeanorigin citizens have attempted to pre-empt terms America and American; and (2) there has been a strong tendency, especially since 1780s, to deny to Indigenous right to use name of their own land. As a matte…
The Gulf War: Once Again the Drama of Human Sacrifice
Anthropologists and historians usually stop talking about human sacrifice the moment they shift their gaze from non-Western to Euro-Western civilizations. Human sacrifice is seen as a thing of the past and usually as an aspect of non-white societies (such as the Aztecs). In the 1991 Gulf War, however, George Bush and Saddam Hussein have taught us about human sacrifice in some of its modern forms. They both called for sacrifice. Bush, for example,…

The Edge of Things
I felt the cold sweat on my forehead and tore off a piece of toilet paper, wiping it away with short, hard strokes. Most of all, though, I felt relief-shivering, beautiful, all-encompassing-the relief that comes from the sudden cessation of pain. It didn't last long but gave me time to read some of the grafitti on the door. Then the nausea began building up again. It reminded me of why I was there and fear returned, seeping into my cavities, slow…
The Native Struggle for Liberation: Alcatraz
INTRODUCTION\nThe liberation of Alcatraz Island by Native Americans in November 1969 occurred when I had just started teaching newly developed courses in our brand-new Native American studies program at the University of California, Davis. I was engaged in the political work of securing additional teaching positions, writing up a major, setting up a student community center (Tecumseh Center), securing adequate space, and all of the other things n…

Undercounting Native Americans: The 1980 Census and the Manipulation of Racial Identity in the United States
Red Blood (Work-in-Progress)
The sun set twice on that day, first slipping behind a cloud. Then it was briefly alive again between the bottom of the cloud and a mountain rim. But the Sun-of-that-day was doomed. It struggled to light up the sky still, using the clouds and vapors for mirrors to magnify its weakening rays, but in spite of a magnificent display of pinks, and reds, and yellows all across the sky, it finally plummeted to the other side, leaving a sense of void, a …

Fascism: A Review of Its History and Its Present Cultural Reality in the Americas
The Italians may have given us the word “fascismo,” but whether we use that word or the Spanish ”falangismo” or the German “National Socialism” (Naziism) we are talking about a form of social organization which has a complex history. Indeed, many persons wrongly believe that fascism as a political system first achieved state power in Italy in the 1920s. However, fascism in modern times first achieved independent (sovereign) power in the Americas—…

Looming large upon the American historical horizon has always been the subject of frontiers.

And in the last century the field of frontier history has been given great impetus by the writing and teaching …

The Historian and the Indian: Racial Bias in American History
The student of history who is concerned with the historical past of the American Indian and who is also a reader of general American historical works is faced with a provocative problem which apparently does not seriously bother other members of the historical profession. That is, he is aware of the question of defining what is meant by the concepts of “United States history “and “American history.” Most historically minded people would solve the…

A Comprehensive Program for Tribal Development in the United States
The programs of the United States' Bureau of Indian Affairs under the late President John F. Kennedy and now under President Lyndon B. Johnson have enabled the tribal Americans of the United States to move forward appreciably.1 On the other hand, numerous problems remain, and perhaps the foremost of these consists in the fact that paternalism still dominates native affairs. It would seem appropriate for the United States to now proceed beyond gov…

Segregation and Integration: The Multi-Ethnic or Uni-Ethnic School
THE CURRENT TREND among leading school authorities is to regard the separate uni-ethnic schools as disadvantaged schools no matter how excellent their programs, and to regard ethnic integration as a major step forward in the education of minority-group children. Evidence has been compiled by several major studies which indicates, for example, that Negro children, on the average, achieve better in integrated schools than in segregated schools. The…
