American Indian
Sovereignty and
the U.S. Supreme Court
The Masking oflustice
By David E. Wilkins
I'lhrough an examination of fif-
teen landmark cases, Wilkins
offers compelling evidence that
Supreme Court justices selec-
tively used precedents and
facts, both historical and con-
temporary, to arrive at deci-
sions that have undelrmincl
tribal sovereignty legitimized
massive tribal land losses, sanc-
tioned the climinishiment of
Indian religious rights, andi
curtailed other rights as well.
T'Ihese case studies - and their
implications for all minority
groups make important and
troubling reading at a time
when tihe Supreme Court is
at the vortex of political and
moral developments that are
redefining tihe nature of Ameri-
can government, transforming
the relationship between the
legal and political branches,
and altering the very meaning
of federalism.

on the Southern Prairies

Dan K. Utley
'I'his unique book offers an
insider's view of'letxas cotton

here, the authors trace a year
in the life of south central
'liexas cotton farms. Although
cotton farming still goes on in
T' exas, the lifeways described

rural heritage.
