Forcibly relocated in the 1830s from the lower Mississippi Valley to the southeastern corner of Indian Territory, the Choctaws today are a dynamic and complex rural ethnic community in Oklahoma. This book examines the political economy of the Choctaws at the end of the twentieth century.

Trade Review
"[A] superlative work ... Focusing on shifts in the political, economic, and cultural lives of the Choctaw, the author demonstrates the degeneration of the group's political status from nation to tribe to ethnic enclave, as well as its economic marginalisation through forced entry into the world capitalist system... Faiman-Silva eschews a simplistic model of victimisation without denying the glaring inequalities and injustices of past and present interactions with the surrounding world, and she presents vividly the internal heterogeneity of Choctaw solution seeking." - Choice
