About the Book
In the face of huge challenges, despite crushing social conditions, Indian people have survived. Racism in Indian Country exposes, for the first time, the degrading and inhuman treatment Indian people have had – and continue – to endure. This book provides numerous examples including the sterilization of thousands of Indian women without their consent, and the poor treatment Indians receive in our schools, resulting in the worst academic records – and the highest dropout rate, 50 percent – of any ethnic group. Subjected to constant harassment by anti-Indian groups, and banks and other lending institutions that either raise interest rates on loans to Indians or redline their reservations, Indians receive some of the most racist treatment in the United States. This book’s thorough documentation and explication of the challenges faced by Indians historically and today will be useful in courses in modern history, ethnic studies, sociology, and anthropology.

Editorial Reviews
“This book tackles an element of the
Bhagavadgītā
, namely Kṛṣṇa's smile as he is just about to start his instruction of Arjuna right before the fratricidal war on Kurukṣetra. As the authors note, this is a most interesting detail in the text and its setting—the
Mahābhārata
—yet one that has been entirely overlooked by scholarship. The authors provide a convincing analysis of the significance of Kṛṣṇa's smile and its poignant function of marking a transition from silence to instruction, as well as a very useful contextualization in the wider currents of South Asian culture and literature.”
—Aleksandar Uskokov, Yale University
