Purchase options and add-ons

In his new preface to this paperback edition, the author observes, "The Indian world has changed so substantially since the first publication of this book that some things contained in it seem new again." Indeed, it seems that each generation of whites and Indians will have to read and reread Vine Deloria’s Manifesto for some time to come, before we absorb his special, ironic Indian point of view and what he tells us, with a great deal of humor, about U.S. race relations, federal bureaucracies, Christian churches, and social scientists. This book continues to be required reading for all Americans, whatever their special interest.

One of the best books I have read on Indain American History

Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2016

One of the best books I have read on Indain American History. Provides an invaluable insight from the Indain American history. Interesting how the two sides do not agree on history, makes you wonder and ask questions. As my mother was 1.2 Cherokee, I have become interested in the histroy of the Indain America. I should have started my research, family histroy much sooner. There is ome much history to read about on bothsides. A must read for all that may have an interest in the American History as most Text books lack enough information as well as correct information about this nation's history.

Very enlightening

The author clearly did a lot of historical research in writing this book. I have long been aware of the disgraceful treatment of our native peoples. But this book brings things into sharp focus. Not an easy read but provides perspective on the situation.

Note that I purchased the first edition for a great price. Had to wait for the price to drop, but my copy is clean and, even though aged, still reads well.

I very much enjoyed reading this book

Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book is full of sarcastic humor, and information about the Native American community's struggles over time in the U.S.

I very much enjoyed reading this book, but if you have a hard time deciphering sarcasm in text, this may not be the easiest read.

Un "must" pour toute personne s'intéressant aux Indiens d'Amérique

Reviewed in France on July 12, 2012

Verified Purchase

Le style de Vine Deloria est fluide et très accessible. Son humour est décapant, malgré le sérieux des sujets évoqués. Je me suis surprise à sourire plus d'une fois et parfois à rire en lisant ce livre.

Plusieurs thèmes propres à la cause indienne y sont abordés, toujours avec un angle de vue auquel on ne s'attend pas vraiment, qui surprend par sa vision globale des problèmes rencontrés par les tribus indiennes.

Trois chapitres m'ont particulièrement touchée :

Le premier sur l'identité indienne qui donne un aperçu au lecteur de ce que représente le fait d'être indien aujourd'hui aux Etats-Unis, toutes les interprétations extérieures erronées dont les Indiens souffrent tant, tout ce qui est "attendu" d'eux et qu'ils ne sont pourtant pas, et bien sûr ce qu'ils souhaitent réellement "représenter" pour leur futur.

J'ai également beaucoup apprécié le chapitre sur la vision qu'ont les Indiens de tous les chercheurs, anthropologues, ethnologues et historiens qui sont venus les étudier ces cinq derniers siècles... Il remet n'importe quel chercheur à sa place et permet (du moins peut-on l'espérer) d'éviter de grosses erreurs en cas de recherches sur le terrain.

Le chapitre évoquant la lutte pour les droits civiques des Noirs explique parfaitement pourquoi les Indiens ne sont pas une "minorité ethnique" comme une autre aux Etats-Unis, ce passage est très instruit et fouillé, on y trouve également des informations sur le Black Power. Beaucoup de Français ignorent en quoi les tribus indiennes diffèrent des autres groupes ethniques des Etats-Unis : ce chapitre se révèle très utile pour bien en comprendre la raison.
