Self-Determination The Other Path for Native Americans

"As Nobel Prize Winner Douglass C. North states in his short introduction to this volume, Native Americans 'deserve a better story' than generally is found in the literature, and in this book they get much more optimistic treatment than is generally the case. You do not have to agree with all of the arguments in this volume to benefit from its challenges to conventional wisdom and to appreciate the novel approaches that are part of the chapters."Gary Libecap, University of Arizona "Thanks to this series of carefully researched essays, it's possible to get a glimmer of a far more hopeful future for the American Indian than today's sad reservation system, rooted in collectivist economics and stereotypes about Indian culture, can ever hope to offer."Tom Bray, Detroit NewsFlanagan, Thomas E. is the author of 'Self-Determination The Other Path for Native Americans', published 2006 under ISBN 9780804754415 and ISBN 0804754411.
