The American Indian Intellectual Tradition: An Anthology of Writings from 1772 to 1972
"David Martínez's anthology is a terrific resource for all of us in Native American Studies and for American Indian people in general. These writings demonstrate the richness and depth of an intellectual heritage that deserves the sort of focus and attention offered so abundantly here."—Robert Warrior, University of Illinois"InThe American Indian Intellectual Tradition, David Martínez has assembled a compelling and important collection of primary documents that highlight an important theme in the intellectual history of Native North America. Without question, Martínez not only accentuates an array of important indigenous voices but also establishes the American Indian intellectual tradition promised by the book's title."—Daniel Cobb, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"The American Indian Intellectual Traditionmakes a highly significant contribution to existing scholarship in Native American studies. In his informative, well-written, and engaging introduction, David Martínez contends that American Indian writing from the early days of the American republic to the 1970s constitutes a coherent intellectual tradition defined in good measure by its critical engagement with colonization. The essays Martínez have chosen take up critical issues that remain vital in Indian Country: conflicts over land, political sovereignty, and the place of Native peoples in the dominant society."—Shari M.
