Beginning students; general readers. * CHOICE *\u003cbr\u003eTodd Leahy, conservation director for the New Mexico Wildlife Federation, and Nathan Wilson have authored a second edition of a work first published in 2008…. The work begins with four introductory sections. The first is a map of the United States’ 48 contiguous states entitled ‘Map of Native American Movements.’ There are 16 spots on the map but there is no explanation as to why those locales are significant. It is followed by ‘Acronyms and Abbreviations.’ The ‘Chronology’ begins with the occupation of Monte Verde in present-day Chile at c. 12,500 B.C.E. and concludes with a mention that in 2015 the health of American Indians continues to be an issue…. The final section is the ‘Introduction,’ which is a 34-page essay that provides an overview of American Indian history.... [The authors] contextualize the entries included in the main body of the work. The dictionary includes approximately 250 entries.... The work concludes with an 18-page bibliography. Fewer than 15 books and articles included in that section were published within the last 10 years. Of those, many are obituaries…. [T]his work would serve as a good ready-reference tool for public libraries due to its coverage of the American Indian Rights movement of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. * American Reference Books Annual *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEditor’s Foreword Jon Woronoff  Preface\t  Map of Native American Movements\t  Acronyms and Abbreviations Chronology  Introduction  THE DICTIONARY \tAppendix: Indian Voices from Native American Movements Bibliography About the Authors","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51039986942295,"sku":"9781442268081","price":85.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781442268081.jpg?v=1750945439","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/historical-dictionary-of-native-american-movements-9781442268081","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
