| The State, Removal, and Indigenous Peoples in the United States and Mexico, 1620–2000. By Claudia B. Haake. (New York: Routledge, 2007. xiv, 293 pp. $95.00, ISBN 978-0-415-95860-8.)

| The historical literature on U.S. federal Indian policy is considerable, but studies that attempt to compare it with other national indigenous policies are rare. Claudia B. Haake offers a valuable contribution by contrasting the policies of Mexico and the United States, although the comparison is focused on the experience of only two peoples, the Delaware (Lenape) and the Yaqui (Yoeme). The temporal coverage is also more limited than the title suggests: the Yaqui are seen primarily in the Porfirian era, while much of the Delaware treatment covers the period after their arrival in Oklahoma from Kansas, around 1866. |
