We Shall Live Again: The 1870 and 1890 Ghost Dance Movements as Demographic Revitalization
ISBN: 9780521034524 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This study of the 1870 and 1890 Ghost Dance movements among North American Indians offers an innovative theory about why these movements arose when they did. Emphasizing the demographic situation of American Indians prior to the movements, Professor Thornton argues that the Ghost Dances were deliberate efforts to accomplish a demographic revitalization of American Indians following their virtual collapse. By joining the movements, he contends, tribes sought to assure survival by increasing their numbers through returning the dead to life. Thornton supports this thesis empirically by closely...

American Indian Holocaust and Survival, Volume 186: A Population History Since 1492
ISBN: 9780806122205 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This demographic overview of North American Indian history describes in detail the holocaust that, even today, white Americans tend to dismiss as an unfortunate concomitant of Manifest Destiny. They wish to forget that, as Euro-Americans invaded North America and prospered in the "New World," the numbers of native peoples declined sharply; entire tribes, often in the space of a few years, were "wiped from the face of the earth."
