In his new preface to this quality paperback edition, the
author observes, "The Indian world has changed so
substantially since the first publication of this book that
some things contained in it seem new again." Indeed, it
seems that each generation of whites and Indians will have
to read and reread Vine Deloria's Manifesto for some time
to come, before we absorb his special, ironic Indian point
of view and what he tells us, with a great deal of humor,
about U.S. race relations, federal bureaucracies, Christian
churches, and social scientists. This book continues to be
required reading for all Americans, whatever their special
interest.
