A Reservation Undiminished

Last One Walking

From Peasant Struggles to Indian Resistance
The Ecuadorian Andes in the Late Twentieth Century
Drawing on extensive research in her native Ecuador, Amalia Pallares examines the South American Indian movement in the Ecuadorian Andes and explains its shift from class politics to racial politics in the late twentieth century.

Forty Years a Legislator
Thomas’s panoramic look at the issues of his time includes a behind-the-scenes view of the Nürnberg War Crimes Trial and also tells how he helped push funding for the atomic bomb project through Congress without disclosing its true nature.

Researched and interpreted by distinguished Native historian Donald L. Fixico, this book tells the remarkable story of how the state of Sequoyah movement unfolded and the extent to which it remains alive today.

Tejano Back-to-Mexico Movements and the Making of a Settler Colonial Nation
