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 law 410 0$aIndigenous Americas. 606 $aIndians of North America$xCivil rights$xHistory 606 $aRace discrimination$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aRacism$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aIndians of North America$xCivil rights$xHistory. 615 0$aRace discrimination$xLaw and legislation$xHistory. 615 0$aRacism$xHistory. 676 $a342.7308/72 700 $aWilliams$b Robert A.$f1955-$0309368 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819402103321 996 $aLike a loaded weapon$94101360 997 $aUNINA
