Natives and Academics - Researching and Writing about American Indians

The relationship between Native Americans and the academic community has become especially rocky in recent years. Both groups are grappling with troubling questions about research ethics, methodology, and theory in the field and in the classroom. With lively prose and telling arguments, NATIVES AND ACADEMICS lends clarity to the heated debate about the purpose and direction of Native American scholarship.
