The Politics of Education

Documents of American Indian Diplomacy

American Indian Sovereignty and Federal Law

By David E. Wilkins and K. Tsianina Lomawaima In the early 1970s, the federal government began recognizing self-determination for American Indian nations. As sovereign entities Indian nations have been able to establish policies concerning health care, education, religious freedom, law enforcement, gaming, and taxation—but these gains have not gone unchallenged. Uneven Ground discusses how the political rights and sovereign status of Indian nations have variously been respected, ignored, terminated, and modified by federal lawmakers as a result of the ambivalent political and legal status of tribes under Western law.

By Theodore J. Lowi In The End of the Republican Era, Theodore J. Lowi predicts not only a collapse of the Republican coalition, but also the potential collapse of the United States’ Republican experiment at large.

He says editing this volume of ten essays is an attempt to present a fresh approach to policy analysis in the hope of creating a new edifice of understanding for scholars and practitioners. The result is a provocative book.”—Journal of the Southwest
