Reviews
Taking the view that the Native rights struggle began at European contact, Grossman (Guide to the Persian Gulf War, LJ 5/1/96) offers a valuable resource of information drawn from the voluminous annals of American Indian affairs. The alphabetically arranged articles reach back to the Laws of Burgos (Spain, 1512) but emphasize North American treaties, legislation, court decisions, presidential messages, commissions, and reports. Cross-cultural biographies include reformers, Indian commissioners, historic Native leaders, and 20th-century activists, while ethnology, pan-Indianism, archaeological protection, Native religious practice, gaming regulations, and taxation are among the topics covered. Native American rights have been addressed in many narrative texts, e.g., Wilcomb E. Washburn's classic Red Man's Land, White Man's Law (LJ 9/1/71), and several impressive encyclopedias on Natives have appeared recently, e.g., Encyclopedia of North American Indians (LJ 12/96). Yet Grossman's work is unique in drawing together Native rights issues and including material (especially descriptions of federal cases) not found in other works. Enhanced by a 30-page bibliography and a 25-page timeline, this is an important source. Highly recommended for academic and public libraries.?Margaret W. Norton, Morton West H.S., Berwyn, Ill.
