Kim TallBear

Native American DNA

Tribal Belonging and the False Promise of Genetic Science

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Because today's DNA testing seems so compelling and powerful, increasing numbers of Native Americans have begun to believe their own metaphors: "in our blood" is giving way to "in our DNA." In Native American DNA, Kim TallBear shows how Native American claims to land, resources, and sovereignty that have taken generations to ratify may be seriously-and permanently-undermined.
