A Sickness which has Grown to Epidemic Proportions: American Indian Anti-and Decolonial thought During the Long 1960s
In the wake of World War Two and with the onset of decolonisation and the Cold War, the United States embarked on a mission to ‘modernize’ the economies and cultures of the so-called ‘developing nations’ of the ‘Third World.’ Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Native rights advocates seized upon the language of modernisation, development, nation building, nationalism, anticolonialism, and decolonisation among them. They leveraged these concepts to a…
The Personal Politics of Action and Applied Anthropology
Action anthropology came to the fore during the 1950s and 1960s, in part as a critical response to applied anthropology's colonial and governmental entanglements, seeking to learn from communities by collaboratively pursuing solutions to practical problems. While critical assessments of theory, method, and efficacy abound, the everyday human bonds fostered through these approaches seldom receive mention. This essay focuses on the personal and int…
Poverty in Common: The Politics of Community Action during the American Century
Reading Alyosha Goldstein's rigorously researched and tightly argued analysis of the politics of poverty in the United States in the 20th century calls to mind one of John Kenneth Galbraith's most memorable sardonic observations. “It is a far, far better thing to have a firm anchor in nonsense,” he wrote in his classic The Affluent Society (1958), “than to put out on the troubled seas of thought.” In Poverty in Common, a challenging and provocati…

A Discussion of Scholarly Responsibilities to Indigenous Communities
As the editor of H-AmIndian, a joint project between the History Department at Arizona State University and the Center for Humane Arts, Letters, and Social Sciences Online housed at Michigan State University, I have discovered that discussion threads go in cycles. Sometimes the listserv has a lively exchange of ideas between scholars on the subjects of American Indian history, culture, ideas, and professional behavior. Inexplicitly, for stretches…
Us Indians Understand the Basics: Oklahoma Indians and the Politics of Community Action, 1964-1970
This case study brings interdisciplinary methods to bear on a subject that might ordinarily fall under the rubric of “policy history.” Challenging historians to envision the politics of federal-Indian affairs in terms of complex encounters that cut across racial, class, and community boundaries, the author examines how competing constructions of poverty, community, and Indianness intertwined as Oklahoma Indians engaged in the War on Poverty's Com…
Philosophy of an Indian War: Indian Community Action in the Johnson Administration's War on Indian Poverty, 1964-1968
When Lyndon Baines Johnson took the oath of office on November 22, 1963, he inherited a fragile, ambiguous federal Indian policy. The Kennedy administration had instituted reforms and deemphasized termination, but missed its opportunity to elucidate a coherent vision of its own. Indeed, scholars characterize the entire period from 1961 to 1975 as one of policy in transition. Not until 1975, in the wake of Richard Nixon’s Indian message of 1970, w…
