Review
"This valuable collection of forceful writings by an influential Native American leader is highly recommended for all academic libraries."
-Library Journal, March 15, 2003
"Ward Churchill has carved out a special place for himself in defending the rights of oppressed people, and exposing the dark side of past and current history, often forgotten, marginalized, or suppressed. These are achievements of inestimable value.."
-Noam Chomsky
"Ward Churchill is one of our most powerful chroniclers of Indian history-both of the sorry record of the United States government and the extraordinary resistance of the Indian people to policies of removal and annihilation. Each one of his books is an education in itself.."

First Sentence
AS ANYONE WHO HAS EVER DEBATED OR NEGOTIATED WITH U.S. OFFICIALS ON matters concerning American Indian land rights can attest, the federal government's first position is invariably that its title to/authority over its territoriality was acquired incrementally, mostly through provisions of cession contained in some 400 treaties with Indians ratified by the Senate between 1778 and 1871.

Churchill's Masterpiece
19 April 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
They say this and that about old Ward Churchill but whatever he is he is indeed a literary scholar and this work is a product of 30 years of excellent research put together in a great way and order if you really want to know the true history of America the country versus it's Native peoples, or you want to know what it means to be Indian or part indian or you really have an interest in the absolute truth about Native studies and this countries policies towards them since before the beginning when the British were still here to the pulse of modern times This Is One Book You Need To Read! It is expensive so try it used or however you can get it but definately READ IT!

Churchill tells it like it is!!
12 Oct 2004
Format:Paperback
Churchill refuses to let history be told as if native peoples either do not exist, or exist only as mere stage sets for some great movie Western.
READ THIS BOOK and see how only a word like "genocide" can be used to explain the history of U.S. relations with Native Americans, and how this same genocide continues to this day.
Churchill emphasizes the necessary connection those engaged in globalization strugglers in general must forge between their struggles and those of native peoples if they are to be successful.
Clear and concise, An excellent Churchill reader!
I Also recommend "Pacifism as Pathology".

Good writing, but I'm leery of the author...
12 Dec 2003
Format:Paperback
What a dilemma! What do you do when a book is well-written and well-researched, but you also happen to be aware that the author is uncomfortably steeped in controversies over his own misrepresentation of himself, his occasionally violent behavior toward women and elders, and his crass dismissal of victims of violence through which he justifies the use of violent assault on those regarded as political enemies? (he teased that the 9-11 victims were deserving targets).
Well, I guess you try to be honest. You say "This guy writes well!" and "His research is reliable and worth collecting."
But then you caution readers that Churchill himself is unsettling to MANY traditional Native people who do not regard him as an authentic representation of an Indian voice or ethic, and you urge readers to research Churchill online in order to distinguish between a skilled collection of scholarship and an individual author whom some may find to be blasphemous to Native traditionalism.
