This book investigates the forced migration of the Delawares in the United States and the Yaquis in Mexico; focusing primarily on the impact removal from tribal lands had on the (ethnic) identity of these two indigenous societies. It analyzes Native responses to colonial and state policies to determine the practical options that each group had in dealing with the states in which they lived. Haake convincingly argues that both nation-states aimed at the destruction of the Native American societies within their borders. This exemplary comparative; transnational study clearly demonstrates that the legacy of these attitudes and policies are readily apparent in both countries today. This book should appeal to a wide variety of academic disciplines in which diversity and minority political representation assume significance.

Great read; but printing issues.By porqueThe book itself is absolutely fantastic. However; I've had problems getting one that's printed correctly. The first copy I got had pages that were so faded you couldn't read them; so I got a free replacement. The replacement was missing pages; and when I looked at the faded one (which I hadn't sent back yet) it was missing exactly the same pages. For $50 that sort of thing is not acceptable.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Robert WilsonGreat
