War Of A Thousand Deserts : Indian Raids And The U.S.- Mexican War

Attribution
Brian DeLayPublication Details
BookYale University Press2008Links
Description
For the next fifteen years, owing in part to changes unleashed by American expansion, Indian warriors launched devastating attacks across ten Mexican states. Just as important, this vast interethnic war informed and emboldened U.S. arguments in favor of seizing Mexican territory while leaving northern Mexicans too divided, exhausted, and distracted to resist the American invasion and subsequent occupation.

A groundbreaking exploration of one of the worst Indian massacres in American history illuminates the clash of American, Mexican, and tribal cultures in the southwestern borderlands. In the predawn hours of April 30, 1871, a combined party of Americans, Mexicans, and Tohono O?odham Indians gathered just outside an Apache camp in the Arizona borderlands. Shadows at Dawn traces the escalating conflicts, as well as the alliances, that transpired among the Americans, Mexicans, Apache, and Tohono O?odham living in the borderlands over the course of several hundred years, beginning with the seventeenth-century arrival of the first Spanish missionaries.

Attribution
Jennifer McLerranPublication Details
BookUniversity of Arizona Press2009Description
In A New Deal for Native Art Jennifer McLerran reveals how positioning the native artist as a pre-modern Other served the goals of New Deal programs?and how this sometimes worked at cross-purposes with promoting native self-sufficiency. In this first book to address the ways in which New Deal Indian policy specifically advanced commodification and colonization, McLerran reviews its multi-pronged effort to improve the market for Indian art through the Indian Arts and Crafts Board, arts and crafts cooperatives, murals, museum exhibits, and Civilian Conservation Corps projects.

North American Indigenous Warfare And Ritual Violence

Attribution
edited by Richard J. Chacon and Rubén G. MendozaPublication Details
BookUniversity of Arizona Press2007Links
Description
Despite evidence of warfare and violent conflict in pre-Columbian North America, some revisionist writers continue to argue that scholars have exaggerated the scale and scope of Native American violence. Originally presented at a landmark symposium, their findings construct a convincing case that bloodshed and killing have been woven into the fabric of indigenous life in North America for many centuries.The editors argue that a failure to acknowledge the roles of warfare and violence in the lives of indigenous North Americans is itself a vestige of colonial repression?depriving native warriors of their history of armed resistance.
