Hicks -- The court's schizophrenic approach to Indian rights : United States v. Lara.Robert A. Williams Jr. boldly exposes the ongoing legal force of the racist language directed at Indians in American society. Fueled by well-known negative racial stereotypes of Indian savagery and cultural inferiority, this language, Williams contends, has functioned "like a loaded weapon" in the Supreme Court's Indian law decisions. Beginning with Chief Justice John Marshall's foundational opinions in the early nineteenth century and continuing today in the judgments of the Rehnquist Court, Williams shows how undeniably racist language and precedent are still used in Indian lawIndigenous Americas.Indians of North AmericaCivil rightsHistoryRace discriminationLaw and legislationUnited StatesHistoryRacismUnited StatesHistoryElectronic books.Indians of North AmericaCivil rightsHistory.Race discriminationLaw and legislationHistory.RacismHistory.342.7308/72Williams Robert A.1955-309368MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451636203321Like a loaded weapon2461809UNINA
