Abstract

This book is an important contribution to the growing literature base which seeks to illuminate critical federal Indian laws and policies by incorporating the historical dimension, utilizing economic data, and analyzing political events. Biolsi strives to accomplish this by employing a political-economic paradigm: an historical approach which emphasizes the relationships between the society, polity, and the economy.
