Studying native America: problems and prospectsRussell Thornton, Social Science Research Council (U.S.), Social Science Research Council (U.S.). American Indian Studies Advisory Panel University of Wisconsin Press, 1 thg 1, 1999 - 443 trang "The White Man does not understand the Indian for the reason that he does not understand America. He is too far removed from its formative process. The roots of the tree of his life have not yet grasped rock and soil". The words of Lakota writer Luther Standing Bear foretold the current debate on the value of Native American studies in higher education. Studying Native America addresses for the first time in a comprehensive way the place of this critical discipline in the university curriculum. Leading scholars in anthropology, demography, English and literature. history, law, social work, linguistics, public health, psychology, and sociology have come together to explore what Native American studies has been, what it is, and what it may be in the future. |
