Rezensionen

Matching the foundational work of Smith and Warrior, Hitchmough and Mays' book robustly advances the field of Red Power studies.

Hitting virtual and physical shelves over the 50th anniversary of some of the most famous Red Power protests, this book will change for ever the way you think about this important indigenous rights movement, and related struggles - in the past, present and the future.

Hitchmough and May's critical intervention into Red Power studies and history will change the way we think about this movement, and its relationship with black civil rights and the US as a nation.
