Description
American Apartheid: The Native American Struggle for Self-determination and Inclusion by Stephanie Woodard This comprehensive account of the issues and threats faced by Native Americans today offers a compelling exploration of the system of apartheid that affects their communities. The federal government, states, and counties have implemented policies that curtail Native voting rights, limiting tribal members' participation in shaping education, employment, rural transportation, infrastructure projects, and other critical issues. The consequences of this system are staggering, with Native Americans being disproportionately affected by police violence, incarceration, and the removal of their children. At the same time, indigenous people must fight to protect sacred sites and landscapes that hold deep cultural significance and spiritual importance. Despite these many obstacles, the book vividly portrays diverse Native American communities that embody resilience, integrity, and the survival of ancient cultures. Including many photographs of Native American life, this book provides a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the Native American experience.
