The Ghost Dance Anthology

Fox's study is a compilation of some of the finest work of contemporary poets. Included in the anthology is the work of Bruce Andrews, John Bennett, Charles Bukowski, Lyn Lifshin, Todd More, Harry Smith and Millie Mae Wicklund.

The story of a dance that would restore the bountiful world of the Indians is told in verse.

In this fascinating ethnohistorical case study of North American Indians, the Ghost Dance religion is the backbone for Kehoes 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. Kehoes gripping presentation and analysis pave the way for just and constructive Indian-White relations.

A psychological and anthropological study of religion.
