Who Belongs?

Race, Resources, and Tribal Citizenship in the Native South

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Who Belongs? tells the story of how in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, despite economic hardships and assimilationist pressures, six southern tribes insisted on their political identity as citizens of tribal nations and constructed tribally-specific citizenship criteria to establish legal identity that went beyond the dominant society's racial definitions of "Indian."
