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, Indianswere 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, steadyreemergence 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 toact on those opportunities, Cornell traces the Indian path from power to powerlessness and back to power again. | The Return of the Native by Stephen Cornell, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
