Terrorism in Native America: Interrogating the Past, Examining the Present, and Constructing a Liberatory Future
Author(s)Writer, Jeanette Haynes
AbstractDrawing on Critical Race Theory, I examine the concept and practice of terrorism as it has been imposed on Native Americans by the United States government and its agents, and provide two concrete examples of terrorism. For anthropologists, this article amplifies the “voice” of the historical Other, describing terrorism from an emic perspective. For educators and educational anthropologists, I argue that we must critically examine issues of power and media portrayals of terrorism and terrorists in order to engage students in liberatory education.
