Description
Book SynopsisProviding a clear account of the laws and politics of Indian gaming, this book explains how it has become one of the most politically charged phenomena: at stake are a host of competing legal rights and political interests for tribal, state, and federal governments. This book uses examples that reflect a wide range of tribal experience.
Trade Review“Light and Rand have studied the history, legalities, economics, politics, and social issues surrounding Indian casinos to produce this readable and highly informative volume. Their work, the most significant and comprehensive book on the subject to date, remarkably examines and documents from both Indian and non-Indian perspectives the wide array of concerns, public policy shifts, and sovereignty issues that have surfaced in the wake of the ever-increasing visibility of Native American casinos. Highly recommended.”
