内容説明

A sympathetic and incisive look at American Indian and Euro-American relations from the 16th century to the present, this book focuses on how such relations have shaped the Indians' political identity and tactics in their ongoing struggle for power. Cornell shows how, in the early days of colonisation, Indians were able to maintain their nationhood by playing off the competing European powers; and how the American Revolution and westward expansion caused native Americans to lose not only their economic independence, but also their social cohesion, land, and ultimately their cultural identity. The final part of the book recounts the slow, steady reemergence of American Indian political power and identity, evidenced by militant political activism in the 1960s and early 1970's. Readership: sociologists and political scientists interested in problems of racial minorities; students of American social and political history.

内容説明

An incisive look at American Indian and Euro-American relations from the seventeenth century to the present, this book focuses on how such relations-and Indian responses to them-have shaped contemporary Indian political fortunes. Cornell shows how, in the early days of colonization, Indians were able to maintain their nationhood by playing off the competing European powers; and how the American Revolution and westward expansion eventually caused Native Americans to lose their land, social cohesion, and economic independence. The final part of the book recounts the slow, steady reemergence of American Indian political power and identity, evidenced by militant political activism in the 1960s and early 1970s. By paying particular attention to the evolution of Indian groups as collective actors and to changes over time in Indian political opportunities and their capacities to act on those opportunities, Cornell traces the Indian path from power to powerlessness and back to power again.
