Book Synopsis American Indian Sovereignty and the U.S. Supreme Court by : David E. Wilkins
Book excerpt: Himself a Lumbee Indian and political scientist, David E. Wilkins charts the "fall in our democratic faith" through fifteen landmark cases in which the Supreme Court significantly curtailed Indian rights. These case studies--and their implications for all minority groups--are important and timely in the context of American government re-examining and redefining itself.
