Klappentext Donald L. Fixico is Distinguished Foundation Professor of History, Affiliate Faculty of American Indian studies, and Affiliate Faculty in the School of Public Affairs at Arizona State University. He is the author of numerous books, including The American Indian Mind in a Linear World: American Indian Studies and Traditional Knowledge and The Invasion of Indian Country in the Twentieth Century: Tribal Natural Resources and American Capitalism. "Donald Fixico challenges scholars of American and Indian history to revise their thinking, enlarge their 'seeing, ' and engage in an effort to understand Native people and their communities. He constructs a convincing argument about the uniqueness of Indian history and his explanation for seeing the world through Indian lenses leads Fixico to craft a terminology that makes a great deal of sense."--Margaret Connell Szasz, Regents Professor of Native American and Celtic History at the University of New Mexico and author of "Scottish Highlanders and Native Americans: Indigenous Education in the Eighteenth-Century Atlantic World"--Margaret Connell Szasz"Margaret Connell Szasz" (03/28/2013) Zusammenfassung In this impassioned work, noted historian Donald L. Fixico argues that the current discipline and practice of American Indian history are insensitive to and inconsistent with Native people’s traditions, understandings, and ways of thinking about their own history. In Call for Change, Fixico suggests how the discipline of history can improve by reconsidering its approach to Native peoples. Inhaltsverzeichnis PrefaceGlossary1.
