This book is the outcome of a three day symposium sponsored by the history department at Miami University. It contains sixteen well-written chapters by anthropologists, historians, legal authorities, and Native American leaders. These narratives provide multifaceted perspectives on how Indians, since 1900, have used political activism, other than the militancy of the American Indian Movement, to ensure their survival. |

Beyond Red Power is divided into three sections. Part one deals with contexts for writing a new American Indian political history. In these chapters, scholars study the grassroots experiences of tribal communities and recognize Indian agency to demonstrate how indigenous people have used the tools of democracy to challenge their dispossession, strengthen tribal sovereignty, and achieve self-determination. |
