The Ghost Dance: Ethnohistory and Revitalization (Case Studies in Cultural Anthropology) Book
In this fascinating ethnohistorical case study of North American Indians, the Ghost Dance religion is the backbone for Kehoe?s exploration of significant aspects of American Indian life and her quest to learn why some theories become popular. In Part 1, she combines knowledge gained from her firsthand experiences living among and speaking with Indian elders with a careful analysis of historical accounts, providing a succinct yet insightful look at people, events, and institutions from the 1800s to the present. She clarifies unique and complex relationships among Indian peoples and dispels many of the false pretenses promoted by United States agencies over two centuries. In Part 2, Kehoe surveys some of the theories used to analyze the events described in Part 1, allowing readers to see how theories develop, to think critically about various perspectives, and to draw their own conclusions. Kehoe?s gripping presentation and analysis pave the way for just and constructive Indian?White relations.Read More
