The chosen and the damned : Native Americans and the making of race in the United States / David J. Silverman.

Native Americans and the making of race in the United States (portion title)
Silverman, David J., 1971- (author.).

Summary:

"Acclaimed historian David J. Silverman traces Indian-White racial arguments across four centuries, from the bloody colonial wars for territory to the national wars of extermination justified as ?Manifest Destiny"; from the creation of reservations and boarding schools to the rise of the Red Power movement and beyond. In this transformative retelling, Silverman shows how White identity, defined against Indians, became central to American nationhood. He also reveals how Indian identity contributed to Native Americans' resistance and resilience as modern tribal people, even as it has sometimes pit them against one another on the basis of race." -- Provided by publisher.
