RETURN OF THE INDIAN:
Conquest and Revival in the Americas
Phillip Wearne
Foreword by Rigoberta Menchu
This book serves as an introduction to the manifold experiences
and problems of the native peoples of the Americas. It provides
an excellent summary of the background and the historical
development of the colonization, incorporation, and exploitation
of Indians in colonial and post-colonial times. Wearne, a
journalist who has lived in Mexico and Central America and
traveled throughout the rest of North and South America,
chronicles resistance then and now in Latin and North America and
explains the ways in which land and language are central to
indigenous identity and reveals the harsh realities of
discrimination and repression that persist for all indigenous
peoples.
