Description

"This study looks at Indians from many tribes living in cities throughout the United States. Through firsthand observations, interviews, and conventional historical sources, he has been able to assess the major impact urbanization has had on Indians and see how they have come to terms with both the negative and enriching aspects of living in cities.". "Fixico offers a new view of urban Indians, one centered on questions of how their modern identity emerges and perseveres. He shows how the corrosive effects of cultural alienation, alcoholism, poor health services, unemployment, and ghetto housing are slowly being overcome. After fifty years of urban experience, Native Americans living in cities are better able today than at any other time to balance tradition and modernity."--BOOK JACKET.
